Female Novel
Chapter 334
Chapter 334 Do You Not Trust Me?
Chloe sneered contemptuously at the use of the word “again,” finding it utterly absurd. People
always had a tendency to sympathize with the weaker party and treat them with kindness. This
inclination became evident as the onlookers witnessed Ava’s pitiful state and directed their
scolding toward Chloe.
After all, they all were familiar with Calvin and had very little impression of Chloe despite finding
her somewhat familiar. Mistakenly, they assumed Chloe to be a well–known celebrity.
“I can’t believe someone so beautiful is capable of such violence.”
“Looks can be deceiving. Many young girls put on a facade while behaving differently behind
closed doors.”
“Who invited her? She has quite the audacity to bully Mr. Calvin’s beloved goddaughter.”
As these comments rolled in, Joseph’s eyes narrowed, his expression turning dark. He kept his
gaze fixed on Chloe, waiting for her to beg him for help. However, Chloe paid him no attention.
Unflinchingly, she maintained her composure, gently biting her rosy lips with her pearly white teeth.
Despite her slightly disheveled hair and red eyes, she displayed no signs of distress.
Instead, she evoked pity and sympathy.
Then, with a deliberate motion, she slowly lifted her gaze, tears streaming down her face like glistening
pearls. Choking on her words, she sobbed, “I didn’t hit her. I was merely defending myself. I only
wanted to use the restroom. I have no idea what I did to provoke Mr. Calvin’s daughter. She
approached me and began berating me.
“I didn’t say anything because I know she’s Mr. Calvin’s daughter. I wanted to leave, but she
relentlessly grabbed my hair. She even expressed her intent to make me the laughingstock in front of
everyone. I had no choice but to defend myself. The rest of the situation is already known to everyone.
I couldn’t foolishly allow myself to be beaten without putting up a fight.
“If anyone doubts my words, you can check the surveillance footage in the hallway.‘
As she spoke, tears continued to cascade down her cheeks.
Ava was well–versed in the art of feigning vulnerability, often shedding tears to appear pitiable,
but Chloe was just equally as skilled.

A faint, cool smile played upon Joseph’s thin lips as he watched her. With her exceptional acting
skills, she skillfully manipulated the situation to her favor, turning the tide of public opinion.
Chloe succinctly expressed her thoughts with logical clarity, providing a concise summary of the
whole incident. This prompted many individuals to swiftly grasp the situation at hand.
The act of ruining one’s appearance was often employed by lawful wives when confronting home
wreckers. In their eyes, homewreckers used their allure to captivate and lead their husbands novelbin
astray. Consequently, the initial course of action would involve hair pulling and face scratching–a
manifestation of their jealousy.
In truth, everyone there perceived Chloe to be more attractive than Ava, and Chloe’s explanation
shifted the onlookers‘ perception of Ava. However, no one wished to offend Calvin, so they feigned
ignorance and found reasons to depart..
As the crowd dispersed, Chloe was left alone, making her feel cold and deserted. Her eyelashes
trembled slightly, and her gaze settled upon Joseph. She pondered why he remained in place.
Was he going to assist her, or were her thoughts merely wishful thinking?
Calvin’s anger surged, and he did not care about the details. Even if it was Ava who had provoked
Chloe first, Chloe deserved whatever she got. After all, Ava had already suffered enough.
grievances.
“Go ahead, don’t hold back. Throw at her exactly what she gave you. I have your back,” Calvin said.
A glimmer of determination flickered in Ava’s eyes, yet she cast a cautious glance toward Joseph.
“Can I really do that?” she asked.
“Yes, go ahead and do it,” Calvin said confidently.
Today, the Sullivans were the host, and Calvin’s connection with them surpassed that of Joseph.
Besides, he had heard the news that Joseph and his wife were now divorced. Even if Joseph
wanted to intervene, he had no authority to do so.
Ava felt a sense of relief, and a sinister smile crept across her face as she advanced step by step.
Chloe’s heart skipped a beat, and a chilling sensation coursed down her spine. She could not
believe that Calvin would allow Ava to act this way in such a situation.
The memories of her confinement flooded Chloe’s mind, causing her blood to turn cold Anxiously.

In a decisive moment, she threw herself into Joseph’s embrace. Temporarily setting aside her pride,
she pleaded pitifully, “Ava wants to hurt me. If you don’t help me, I’ll tell Grandpa!”
It had been a while since they had any physical contact, and the tender and fragrant sensation
overwhelmed Joseph, causing a hitch in his breath. His gaze grew slightly deeper, a look that Chloe
failed to comprehend. She thought he was unwilling to help her, so she held onto him even
tighter.
Observing the fear that flickered across her face, Joseph’s heart ached. Her cunning demeanor
was merely a facade to conceal her helplessness.
“This isn’t Aesper, nor is it Docwood. Are you sure you want to step in?” Calvin asked.
Joseph shielded Chloe behind him, casually rotating his wrist while wearing a mischievous
smile. “It’s been a while since I last hit a woman.”
Ava’s body trembled, and Calvin’s expression turned grim. Despite Calvin’s military background and
consistent physical training, he could not match Joseph’s combat skills.
“I have over ten bodyguards with me, while you’re all alone. I’ll give you one last chance to choose.
The Whitman family holds a prestigious position, and it wouldn’t bode well if this matter becomes
a spectacle,” Calvin declared.
This place provided the utmost privacy and security, so there was no need to worry about any
information leaking to the outside world. Moreover, Calvin just wanted to teach Chloe a lesson. He
was not going to escalate the situation.
Chloe lightly tugged at Joseph’s shirt, whispering softly, “Why don’t I apologize to them? It
wouldn’t be worth it if you end up getting hurt.”
“Do you not trust me?” He spoke with a sidelong glance, his warm and moist breath lightly
brushing against her earlobe, sending a tingling sensation down her spine.
