Chapter 652 Nearly Choked to Death
Chloe raised a question. “How is all that for me?”
“Duskfall wanted to kill you that day. Although you managed to escape, Vanya isn’t the only
member of Duskfall. They have hundreds of killers Cyrus is a crazy man. He failed to locate Mr.
Joseph’s mother, so he’s taking his anger out on Mr. Joseph.
“You’re Mr. Joseph’s lover, so it’s inevitable that Duskfall will target you relentlessly. To outsiders,
it looks like Mr. Joseph is indifferent toward you and is in comparison nice to Xavia. It’s just to
confuse Duskfall and protect you.
“Mr. Joseph has tried his best to be nice to you.”
Chloe touched her face and felt tears on her face. “It doesn’t matter anymore.” She no longer cared
about who Joseph truly loved.
When Lucas saw her calm expression, he frowned slightly and stopped talking.
Chloe arrived at the marital home Joseph had mentioned. In the dark, the mansion appeared
spacious, and she could not see the end of it. Even with its many lights, she felt no sense of

She sincerely felt scared in the strange environment.
Luckily, the few servants who had worked at the villa were here. They were familiar with the
mansion, so they wanted to take her on a tour.
Chloe was not in the mood to listen to them. “Where’s my room?”
“Madam, this is the marital home of you and Mr. Joseph. Don’t you want to look around?”
“No.”
“Don’t you think that’s a disrespect toward Mr. Joseph’s efforts?”
“How about you respect him then?”
Chloe ignored them and opened the door to a bedroom and crawled into bed. She stayed up, blankly staring
straight ahead of her with a wide-eyed gaze. She was not the least bit sleepy in
the strange environment.
She then overheard voices.

“Tsk! She’s reckless because she’s favored. She’ll no longer be so haughty when Mr. Joseph loses interest in her one
day.”
“All right, let’s not discuss our employer’s family affairs.”
“I’m angry because she remains unmoved when Mr. Joseph is so nice to her!”
“Pipe down. You may get into trouble.”
“It’s a woman’s great luck to marry a nice man.”
Joseph went to Imperium. When the night watchman saw him approaching, he rubbed his eyes
and happily went up to him.
“Sir, it’s rare to see you here.”
“Cut the crap.”
The watchman was taken aback. He could tell that Joseph was in a bad mood. “Sir, why are you
suddenly here? Did Duskfall make another move?”
“No,” Joseph said coldly as he looked around. “I’m going to spend the night here.”
“Okay, I’ll prepare a room for you.”
“No, it’s fine. Where is Vanya being held?”
“Room 5. She’s very hard to serve. She neither ate nor drank the first few days she came. She

death, but she nearly choked to death.”
Joseph remained composed. “What about now?”
“It’s been getting better. She’s willing to eat, but she doesn’t allow anyone to discipline her. She’s a
feisty one.”
“Keep her locked up. You don’t have to give her any special care. We just need her alive.”
“All right, it just so happens that no one wants to serve her.”
As the two talked, they reached Room 5. The room was equipped with nothing but four walls and a small window
above the door. It looked just like a prison cell. The guards opened the door with a

Joseph kicked her. “Stop pretending. Get up.”
When Vanya heard his voice, she looked up and was stunned for a second. She said quickly, “I can
tell you whatever you want, but you have to let me go.”
She would tell him all of Dusk fall’s secrets and everything about Xavia, Ava, the amniocentesis,
