BOGUS BILLIONAIRE - Season 4 Episode 21

Harold prohibited Chloe from going home tonight and arranged for her to have her own room so that she was not forced to stay with Joseph.

She hid in the room. After gaining Harold’s approval, she felt much more relaxed. She had not brought the laptop from her office with her, so she could only scroll through her phone to relieve

her boredom.

At that moment, Icarus replied to her message.

[I was playing golf with my friends nearby that day. When I was just heading home when I

bumped into you.]

Chloe opened the map application on her phone and searched the area around City Hall. True

enough, there was a golf course nearby. She felt quite embarrassed to have thought badly of him.

Icarus texted her again. It was a link to an article.

[Chloe, I know that you’ll see this sooner or later, so I thought it’d be best to tell you earlier. There’s

no need to get upset because of me or these Internet trolls]

She clicked on the link and saw that someone had secretly taken photographs of Icarus giving her

a ride to the Graham Group this morning. The advertisements she did for Exotic Star had been

released, so she had gained slight fame. That was the reason why these paparazzi targeted her.

The photograph captured the scar around Icarus‘ chin. It was laid bare under the sunlight, so it

appeared pretty hideous. The netizens did not make very friendly comments about Icarus.

[Hahaha! Are they the beauty and the beast?!]

[Being honest, he’s rather handsome if not for that scar. You losers have no right to laugh at him.

Show me your photographs if you dare.]

[I can’t figure out why beautiful ladies nowadays have such vulgar taste.]

Chloe clutched her phone and trembled in fury. She then typed a comment to retort to the

negative comments, but after a pause, deleted it and rewrote it. Noah had told her that she needed

to keep a good image for the three years that she was Exotic Star’s ambassador or she would be

violating the rules of the contract.

[Scars are powerful armor. It’s the twenty–first century. We can’t have such a limited concept of

beauty.]

The person involved stepped forward to retort to the negative comments, and the article gained

even more traction.

[Hey, you’re so cool!]

[Yes, I agree with you. My husband is a firefighter, and his face was burned in the line of duty. But

I don’t find him ugly. On the contrary, it’s a badge of honor.]

Joseph read Chloe’s reply and chuckled. The cigarette between his fingers was burning away. He

recited word for word, “Scars are powerful armor. Hmph!”

He wanted to see how powerful it was.

The next day, Chloe was woken up by Jake’s repeated calls. Still dazed, she picked up, but after

Jake spoke, her sleepiness was instantly dispelled. “The foundation Icarus set up abroad was

forced to shut down?”

“Yeah, Uncle Icarus put all his assets into this foundation. It’s all because of Joseph. No one else

would do this, and no one else has such power either. Chloe, you have to stay away from this

villain.”

Jake had called Chloe to advise her, not expecting that Chloe was at the Whitman family home

right at that moment.

Chloe walked to the study and braced herself to ask, “Joseph, are you in there?”

Chloe and Joseph were separated only by a door.

Joseph was standing beside the window. Heavy sarcasm etched into his handsome face. ‘Hmph!,

So eager to beg for your lover after you’ve just woken up huh? This sort of relationship makes

people envious. And I gave you so many chances. I was indeed a fool.‘

Chloe waited for a long time outside and really thought that Joseph was not in the study. When

she was about to go back to her room, the door opened Joseph was wearing dark blue home

and distance in them.

When Chloe saw his heavy dark circles, she subconsciously wanted to grab some ice cubes to help

soothe them. But on second thought, she felt that she did not have to worry about him at all. He

had probably stayed up all night doing villainous deeds instead of sleeping. Otherwise, how could

Icarus‘ foundation be ruined in just one night

Joseph deserved what he got.

“What is it?” Joseph glanced at her expressionlessly.

“I wanted to ask you about Icarus‘ foundation-”

However, he interrupted her as he leaned half of his body against the bookshelves. “Yes, I did it.

Are you here to beg for mercy on his behalf?”

Stupefaction engulfed her and she sounded disappointed. “There’s no conflict of interest between

you two. Why did you do such a thing?”

“I simply find him an eyesore.”

She became helpless. “Can you please let Icarus go?”

“So, are you begging for mercy for him?”

“Yes.”

Her firm attitude nearly sent Joseph into a great rage. He clenched his fists tightly but he

remained composed on the surface. “Do you remember what I said? You know what you have to do.

Chloe’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. ‘Icarus‘ face is already ruined because of me. He can’t lose his

business too.‘ She suppressed her shamelessness as her face turned white.

“Fine, I agree.”

After all, it would not be her first time. Sleeping with him again was not too big of a deal.

The veins on the back of Joseph’s hand bulged. She was willing to sink so low just to help Icarus.

Chloe, oh, Chloe! I’ll grant your wish if that’s the case.

He pushed everything on the desk to the floor and stood at the side. He commanded cruelly,

“Lay here We’ll do it right here”

Chloe’s legs trembled. “In the study.

*Begging is devoid of dignity Joseph sneered as he waited for her next move, looking calm.
