Jojo and Coco’s Unexpected Love by Aurora Summers

Chapter 26 How Did You Find Me?

Chloe remained expressionless as she said, “Your mother’s a homewrecker, yet she can still hold her head up high in front of everyone.”

Ava responded with a smile instead of anger. She gently stroked the wardrobe and replied, “Do you remember? This used to be mine but I thought your wardrobe looked better, so I asked Dad for it. Whatever I want in this family, I can have. Even if my mother was a homewrecker, I can call the shots.”

One could rise to great heights and gain a splendid life despite coming from a humble background. In contrast, Chloe’s mother was a well-bred lady who fought with her parents and cut ties with them just to be with Benjamin. However, she failed to even keep her man in the end.

“A broken wardrobe is all you need to feel superior?” Chloe sneered disdainfully, drawing out her words. “Speaking of that wardrobe, I should thank you. Only a fool would trade a new wardrobe for an old one.”

Ava treated Jake, who was a scumbag, exactly in this manner-like he was a precious

treasure.

Her face livid, a sudden thought popped into Ava’s head and she went back to smiling, straightening her back out of pride.

“You’re just jealous of me!” she exclaimed.

“I’m jealous of you? Oh, please! That was the funniest joke I’ve ever heard in my life. You and your mother are unsightly,” Chloe retorted.

Ava’s face sank, and she raised her hand to slap Chloe, but Chloe was prepared for this. She pulled Ava’s hair and pushed her backward forcefully. With a loud crash, the wardrobe and Ava toppled to the ground.

Hair in a mess and her pretty dress covered in dust, Ava still maintained the smile on her face, triumphant in her scheme, “You’re done for now.”

With that, she got up and left the room, making sure to lock the door behind her before heading to Benjamin to complain. Almost simultaneously, Chloe deftly opened the window and escaped, taking advantage of the time that Ava was away.

Looking down at the grass below, Chloe inhaled deeply, shut her eyes, and jumped. Landing on the soft grass, she was grateful that she had not broken any bones and only sustained a sprained ankle.

After that, she heard the door to her room being unlocked from upstairs.

“Dad, please don’t scold Chloe. Maybe she’s not in a good mood and didn’t mean it,” Ava pleaded.

“You don’t have to say anything. You tried to talk to her nicely, but she didn’t appreciate it. She needs to be taught a lesson!” Benjamin replied sternly.

The conversation ended abruptly as soon as he opened the door.

Chloe hastily limped toward the front gate as she knew Benjamin would come for her soon enough. As soon as she stepped outside, Benjamin and Karen came running after her.

Under the faint glow of the moon, Benjamin’s face contorted in fury as he fixated his wrathful stare on Chloe. Karen trailed behind him, her visage displaying anxiety, yet the venomous hatred that lurked behind her facade was apparent to Chloe.

Together, they resembled malevolent demons.

As Chloe reminisced on her childhood, her face drained of color as she recalled how Ava had wrongfully accused her of stealing money and how Benjamin had berated her in a similar fashion. Despite her attempts to defend herself, Benjamin violently attacked her until her eyes were swollen and bleeding.

Chloe did her best to run away, but she could not move any faster with her sprained ankle. As Benjamin closed in on her, a hand with distinct knuckles suddenly reached out and pulled her into a corner.

It was not until she was sitting in the car and looking at the man’s stern profile that Chloe realized it was Joseph who had saved her. She asked in astonishment, “H-How did you find me?”

Joseph stepped on the accelerator and his eyes flashed with disdain. “Given that we live in an age where virtually anyone’s personal information can be found on the Internet, would it be a challenge for me to locate your address?”

Chloe nodded in agreement. “You’re right.”

She then asked, “So, did you come to find me because you were worried about me?”
