Chapter 724 Ignite Jealousy and Change His Mind
Xavia was dressed in a pastel pink jacket paired with white knee-high boots. Her face mask concealed most of
her features. Only her exquisite and mysterious eyes that enticed curiosity could be seen.
Kenneth felt a surge of concern for her and remarked, "Your eyelashes are frosted over. Cover yourself up more
next time."
"It’s all right, I'm fine. We were in the car the whole time, and I'm wearing a down jacket. It's not that cold.”
“Okay, next tI'll stop the car closer so that you don't have to walk so far.”
Xavia started tearing up as she looked at him. Kenneth panicked and quickly handed her a tissue.
"What's wrong? Did | say something wrong?"
"No one has ever treatedthis kindly. You're the first.”
Kenneth paused for a moment, then responded with overwhelming tenderness, "I'll always treat you this way,
Vee."

"Really?"
"Of course, | promise.”
Xavia blushed and gently linked her arm with his, saying, "Let's eat."
"Sure," Kenneth smiled, nodding as they followed the waiter to the table next to Chloe's.
Xavia did not notice Chloe at first, but as she put down her bag, their eyes met.
Chloe greeted her with a mischievous grin and said, "Hi."
Xavia’'s eyes widened, and her gentle voice turned sharp as she squeaked, "Why are you here? Are you following
me?"
"I'm not. Who has tfor that?"
"Nonsense. You must have planned this."
"Believe what you want. Not everyone thinks the sway as you do."
Xavia's face twisted in a mix of guilt and resentment as her palms grew sweaty. She had received a scolding
from Megan yesterday for no reason. In her mind, everything was Chloe's fault.
Kenneth intervened, his expression serious and imposing like a true royal. "Vee, who's this?" He had read about
rumors of Chloe online and wanted to speak up for Xavia.
Chloe's smile deepened as she casually replied, "Oh, I've known your Vee for many years. We met when she was
together with Joseph."
"That's all in the past. | hope you won't bring it up again and try to drive a wedge between Vee and me, Ms.
Chloe. | won't go easy on you just because you're a woman."
"Apologies, but I'm not interested," Chloe calmly retorted, facing him head-on.
Kenneth's tone turned icy, "If you weren't interested, you wouldn't cause a scene."
"As a prince of the royal family, isn't it a bit unsightly for you to be speaking this way?" Frieda stood up, her
voice strong and resolute. She stared at Kenneth without flinching.
The others were surprised by Frieda's unexpected support for their manager. What was going on? Frieda was
standing up for Chloe?
Chloe paused for a moment, feeling a little dazed but grateful that someone was speaking up for her.
"Frieda, don't worry about me. Please, have a seat and enjoy the meal," Chloe assured her, knowing that
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKenneth's social status was different from ordinary people's. She did not want to burden Frieda.
"How about we find another place to eat?" Xavia suggested to Kenneth, “It doesn’t bring any good to cause a
scene in public. | wouldn't want to put you in an awkward position.”
And she could not risk Chloe suddenly revealing something that might tarnish her reputation. Completing the
task and not disappointing Cyrus was crucial. Moreover, she entertained the possibility that if Joseph saw her
with Kenneth, it would ignite his jealousy and potentially change his mind.
Kenneth was reluctant to let the matter slide so easily, but when he saw Xavia's pleading eyes, he could not bear
to push the matter further and agreed to leave.
As the pair left, Frieda comforted Chloe, "Don't mind them. You did nothing wrong."
Nodding while savoring her steak, Chloe replied, "Of course, | know I did nothing wrong. Frieda, please eat. The
dishes are getting cold."
Xavia's presence had not affected Chloe's mood, and she was not foolish enough to confront Xavia in front of
Kenneth. She simply wanted to provoke her a little.
After dinner, Chloe drove to the cafe where she had arranged to meet Joseph. In a private room, Callum heard a
knock on the door and immediately got up to answer it. She gazed at the middle- aged man before her, his
gentle smile capturing her attention. She then glanced at Joseph with a look of puzzlement on her face.
