Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 46 Suspected of Theft
Chloe was both ashamed and angry. Her voice rose sharply. “You were eavesdropping on my conversation?!”
She could not comprehend why he was accusing her of such a thing. ‘Is he hard of hearing? If he had indeed overheard my
conversation, why is he accusing me like this?’
“I was just passing by.” Joseph sneered as he shook the cup he was holding in her face.
He spoke the truth. Despite being angry upon overhearing Chloe’s conversation with another man, he was not someone who
lacked emotional control, nor did he have a habit of snooping on other people’s conversations.
He was not expecting to come across such a scandalous scene just as he was walking out of his bedroom after retrieving his
water glass.
Chloe did not know how to explain. Her face turned red with anger, and she quickly made a voice call to Icarus in front of Joseph.
“Open your eyes and see if I’m flirting with anybody!” she exclaimed.
“End the call. You’ve embarrassed yourself enough,” Joseph mocked her.
Just as Chloe was about to faint from anger, Icarus answered. His voice was thick with surprise and he sounded confused.
“Chloe? Why are you calling me again?”
Did she want to chat with him because she could not sleep?
In a split second, Chloe’s tone shifted, and she spoke calmly, “I just remembered that I forgot to mention that you don’t need to
adhere to the temperature and time settings. strictly mentioned online for baking the cake. Just check on it from time to time and
adjust it accordingly.”
“Okay, got it,” Icarus responded with a hint of disappointment in his voice.
“All right, goodnight.” Chloe hung up and confidently turned to Joseph, who stood silently next to her. “I was just chatting with my
friend about baking, and you accuse me of flirting with him? Just how dirty-minded are you?!”
“What about the clothes you’re wearing?” Joseph’s fury subsided slightly, but his tone remained severe.

It was just a thin layer of clothes. Could anyone have a regular video call with a friend. while dressed in this way?
“I’m wearing it to seduce you!” Chloe yelled. She moved closer, lifted her head to meet his gaze, and added, “Does that answer
satisfy you?”
Joseph was taken aback. Gazing at the scantily dressed woman in front of him, he tugged at his collar irritably and replied, “No,
I’m not satisfied.”
“Bullsh*t. You mentioned that you prefer women with curves, and this attire perfectly highlights my figure. Aren’t I curvy enough?”
Chloe retorted in frustration, surprised by her failed attempt at seduction. Her ears turned red, making her look like a boiled
shrimp.
Before he could respond, Chloe ran back into her room and angrily stripped off the negligee. “I got cheated! This damn thing
doesn’t work!”
Joseph stood outside her room for a long time. His anger slowly dissipated and he could not help but chuckle, “Silly woman. As a
girl, she should be more reserved.”
Chloe felt that Joseph had played her like a fool, and she vented to Emily until late at night before finally falling asleep.
The next day at Baxon Corporation.
Chloe was following up with a client in her office when several police officers came in.
“Are you Ms. Chloe Johnson?”
She nodded hesitantly. “Yes, that’s me. Is there something wrong?”
“We received a report that you’re suspected of theft. Please come with us and cooperate with our investigation.”
“What did I steal?”
“A pair of bracelets worth 400,000 dollars.”
“What?!” Chloe was flabbergasted. “Are you sure you have the right person, officer? I didn’t take any bracelets.”
“You said you didn’t take them, but do you know Mr. Jake Cooper?” the police officer

asked.
“Yeah, I do.” Chloe hesitated for a moment before something came to mind. “Are you talking about his family heirloom? I
returned them to him already.”
The officer explained, “Mr. Jake suspects that the bracelets you returned to him are fakes, so he reported it to us. That’s why we
need to investigate.”

Chloe’s heart skipped a beat and she explained, “Officer, I didn’t do anything wrong. There must be some misunderstanding.”
“Even if there’s a misunderstanding, we still need you to come to the station to clarify the situation. After all, the amount involved
is not small,” the officer replied.
As Chloe’s colleagues heard the commotion, they gathered outside her office, staring at the scene with mixed expressions.
Some were curious, while others remained
indifferent and apathetic.
However, not a single person approached her to show concern or ask what was happening.
