Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love

Chapter 81

Chapter 81 Jake Deserves It

Icarus pondered for a moment before saying solemnly, “Not yet, Chloe. Someday, maybe, but not now.”

Yesterday, he had learned many things, including how the Johnsons had treated her in the past. He had visited her at the hospital because he did not have the courage to tell her that he was Jake’s uncle.

He worried that his relationship with Jake would push Chloe away from him. He had no intention to come to the engagement party today, but while he was at lunch today, he figured that Chloe might come so he came to check on her. To his surprise, she really was here.

Chloe could not quite understand his concern. She shrugged indifferently and said, “It’s okay. Whatever relationship I had with the Johnsons and Jake is in the past. You don’t have to worry.”

Furthermore, Icarus and Chloe were simply friends. Even if Icarus was related to Jake, it would not matter as they simply would not have any further contact in the future. What she was unaware of was that the more she acted indifferent, the more it pained Icarus.

She had clearly suffered so much, yet she brushed off the scars of the past so lightly. If their current circumstances allowed it, Icarus would have loved nothing more than to embrace her and offer her comfort.

In the end, Icarus raised his hand and patted Chloe’s shoulder. “If Jake or the Johnsons. ever bully you again, tell me. I’ll help you get revenge.”

“You don’t have to help me get revenge. Just don’t stop me,” she said playfully as she smiled.

Icarus smiled back at her. “Anything you say.”

She blinked skeptically. She guessed that Icarus and Jake were probably distant relatives who only saw each other every few years.

“The party’s about to begin. Do you want to go in?”

“Of course.”

Chloe had nearly forgotten about the surprise she had prepared for Jake and Ava. With long strides, she headed back into the banquet hall. When she reached the entrance of the hall, she turned back to look at Icarus and grinned, showing a neat row of white

teeth. “I hope you’ll remember your promise and won’t stop me.”

Icarus knew that Chloe was intentionally reminding him of this and was surprised that she had come up with a plan so quickly. Under her seemingly fragile and delicate exterior, she hid a tough and strong heart. She was not like other women who would cry and whimper when being bullied. She was a lot stronger and tougher than them.

He nodded. “Go ahead and do whatever you want.”

After all, Jake deserved it. It would be good for him to have a taste of his own medicine, and he needed to be made aware that Ava was not a good match for him.

On an elevated platform, Benjamin held a microphone and was giving a speech, while Ava stood beside him, eyes red and puffy as if she had just cried. As for Jake, he was holding a tissue in his hand and gently wiping away her tears.

Meanwhile, instead of taking a seat, Chloe walked up to the second floor. Leaning against the railing, she observed the scene below expressionlessly. Other than the Johnsons and Coopers, there were a few important business partners from the Johnsons

side sitting among the attendees.

Just then, Emily returned from outside and gave Chloe a wink.

“It’s done,” she whispered.

“That was fast.”

“My boyfriend’s a skilled hacker. Breaking into the hotel’s system was a piece of cake,” Emily replied with a smirk. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

“After all is said and done, let’s go out for dinner tomorrow. I want to thank your boyfriend properly,” Chloe suggested.

Her best friend had told her before that her boyfriend was a skilled hacker. She had not expected to need his help so soon.

Emily hesitated for a moment before saying, “Our relationship isn’t stable yet. Let’s wait until we’ve been together for a while before I introduce you to him.”

Chloe rolled her eyes and refocused her attention on the large screen below.

The emcee’s booming voice filled the hall, “Next up, let us enjoy a video montage couple’s sweet love story.”

As soon as the emcee’s voice trailed off, the large screen lit up. Handwritten love letters

appeared one after another. The contents and the cheesy words that Jake had written in the past were clear for all to see.

The attendees were momentarily confused, thinking that the love letters were meant for Ava. They teased the couple.

“Oh, youth. They’re so romantic,” one person commented.

“Who says it’s not? When my wife and I got together, it was all arranged by our parents. We met once and became a family after. But free love is so sweet to watch,” another person added.

“Hey, why isn’t the recipient of these letters Ava? It seems to be addressed to Chloe,” someone pointed out.
