Chapter 569 What Do You Think You’re Doing?
Chloe walked to Xavia, who offered a soft apology with no trace of insincerity in it. “I’m sorry
I can’t swim. I grabbed onto you out of panic. I hope you don’t mind it.”
“But I do mind.”
“Oh… Then, what do you intend to do about it, Ms. Chloe?”
“I want to slap you once.”
Xavia contained her anger, but before she could respond, Chloe had already raised her arm.
Smack!
A resounding crack filled the air as the forceful slap connected. There was no mercy in Chloe’s slap, and Xavia’s left
cheek immediately displayed a red, swollen mark.
“What do you think you’re doing, Chloe?!” Joseph’s voice boomed angrily as he stormed toward them in long

Chloe locked eyes with the man who had suddenly appeared, her expression distant and unfazed. “What am I

Joseph furrowed his brows. “Watch your tone when you speak to me.”

“If you expect Chloe to speak nicely, then perhaps you should also adjust your attitude and refrain from
interrogating her like a criminal, Mr. Joseph,” Noah interjected at that opportune moment, projecting an air of calm
and gentlemanly composure in his every gesture.
Joseph had not noticed Noah upon his arrival. Now, with his gaze fixed on him, the look in his sharp eyes grew
piercingly intense. “This is our business. Why are you interfering? What gives. you the right to stand here and
speak? Are you one of Chloe’s admirers?”
He fired three questions in rapid succession, enough to overwhelm any ordinary person. But Noah maintained a
gentle smile, his expression innocent and harmless. “Your business? Aren’t you two already broken up?”
Joseph grew furious, reaching out to grab Chloe’s ear and angrily accusing, “Just couldn’t wait to find a new
partner, huh?”
They had been separated for no more than three days, and not only did Noah know about their breakup, but it
seemed like he was taking her out. She really moved on fast.
Chloe winced in pain, slapping the man’s large hand in an attempt to free herself. “Let go!”
Joseph saw her ear turning red from his grip and reluctantly released her, feeling a twinge of
remorse.

understand why Ms. Chloe got angry and hit me.”
“Why did you go swimming if you can’t swim?”
“The doctor told me swimming is good for the baby…”
“Nonsense! She can swim!” Chloe became agitated and refuted loudly. Xavia was like a deadly nymph in the water.
How could she not know how to swim?!
“Ms. Chloe, I really can’t. Why would I pull you down if I knew how to?” Xavia explained, her wet hair sticking to her
face, eliciting a pitiful look.
“Because you’re evil.”
“Ms. Chloe… Forget it, it was my fault. As long as you’re happy, go ahead and scold me all you want.”
Chloe took a deep breath, tightened the towel around her body and turned to leave. Engaging in further
conversation with someone like Xavia was pointless. She just needed to vent her anger by slapping her.
Noah waved goodbye to Joseph. “We’re going for dinner now. Bye.”
