My Ex-Husband Always Knew That I Had Cheated on Him

Chapter 369: Chapter 367: Such a Beast

The hospital was bustling, people coming and going, voices clamoring.

Chloe Simpson just stood there in the crowd, watching in the direction Ethan Johnson disappeared.

She kept replaying everything that had ever happened between her and Alexander Johnson.

All the way up to the end, when Alexander forced her to leave and had her kicked out of the hospital, making her resign.

No matter how she thought about it, Chloe simply couldn’t understand why Alexander would lay a hand on Mom.

He had absolutely no reason to.

She and Mom were just ordinary people, that’s right; to him, this Eldest Young Master of the Johnson Family, the future heir of the Johnson Clan Group, they posed no threat at all.

What’s more, she had already resigned from the hospital.

Even if she was a married woman, even if Alexander wanted to cover up everything that had happened between them.

There was still no need to kill anyone.

Killing was against the law.

And once it was exposed, the Johnson Clan Group’s stock would definitely take a huge hit.

Doing that would be all harm and no benefit.

Besides, she and Mom had already decided to leave Kyohai.

She didn’t believe that Alexander didn’t know about her and Mom leaving.

Chloe stood there until her legs were sore, yet she still couldn’t figure out what on earth the reason was.

Could it be that there was something she didn’t know, or that something else had happened recently?

Thinking of this, Chloe snapped back to herself, left the hospital, found a quiet place, and called Harry King.

"Hello, Chloe, what’s wrong?"

The call had barely rung twice before it was quickly picked up.

"Harry, there’s something I want to ask you. I..."

Chloe opened her mouth, wanting to ask Harry about Alexander, but when she thought of Alexander’s influence and the Johnson Family’s status in Kyohai, she immediately stopped herself.

She couldn’t just come right out and ask that directly; even if she wanted to ask, she had to go about it in a roundabout way.

If this had been before, Chloe would never have been this cautious when calling Harry.

But now Emily Sterling had already had an accident.

Chloe had no choice but to be careful.

As the saying goes, better to be safe than sorry.

You shouldn’t harbor the intent to harm others, but you must not be without the intent to guard against them.

"What is it, what’s the matter? Go on, say it."

Seeing that Chloe sounded like she wanted to talk but was holding back, Harry spoke up again.

"It’s nothing much. I just wanted to ask how the Eldest Young Master of the Johnson Family has been lately. You know, he drove me out of the hospital before."

"Now I’ve gone back to work at the hospital in order to investigate what happened to Mom. I’m afraid he’ll make things difficult for me again like before."

"Harry, right now all the evidence is pointing to the hospital, so I have to stay there. No matter what, I have to stay, so I need to get everything prepared in advance."

"I know the Johnson Family wields tremendous power in Kyohai, and your family also does business. It’s inevitable that you’d have some ties with them. If it’s inconvenient for you, then forget it."

"Don’t feel any pressure. This whole thing has nothing to do with you to begin with; we only know each other because of Lucas Hughes. I’ll look into Mom’s case myself. I don’t want you to get dragged down because of me."

Right after Chloe finished her indirect question, she thought of the relationship between her and Harry and suddenly found it a little ridiculous.

Harry had been Lucas Hughes’s college roommate in the same dorm, and Lucas was her ex-husband.

Back then he’d done so many disgusting things.

And now here she was, asking Harry to help her.

No matter how she thought about it, it felt a bit absurd.

"Chloe, what are you talking about? Yes, our family does business, so we really can’t avoid the Johnson Family. No—in Kyohai, it’s not just us. Anyone doing business can’t get around the Johnson Family."

"But that doesn’t mean I have to stay far away from you because of that. And as for Lucas, now that you’ve mentioned him, I feel even more guilty. I blame myself for not warning you in time. I honestly never imagined he could sink to such a beastly level."

"Chloe, relax. No matter what, when I, Harry King, give my word, it’s as good as done. I said I’d help you, so I will. Besides, Alexander Johnson has his own hands full lately; he doesn’t have the time to worry about us. Don’t worry."

As soon as Harry finished speaking, Chloe asked, "What? What’s wrong with him? What happened?"

But just as she finished asking, a low, muffled cough came through from the other end of the line.

Chloe’s heart gave a jolt.

This cough sounded so much like Alexander Johnson’s.
