Chapter 377

Chapter 377 He Won’t Die, Will He?

Chloe’s face turned pale, and fear washed over her. She carefully reviewed recent events, realizing

that she had not offended anyone and had conducted her business within the industry’s boundaries, so

who could be behind her abduction?

At that moment, a masked woman sitting in the passenger seat turned to face them. Chloe’s body

tensed up as the mask revealed a pair of hawk–like eyes. They sent a chill down her spine as the

woman stared at her intently, reminiscent of a female ghost from a horror film.

Noah, on the other hand, remained calm and composed.

“Are you after wealth or life?” he asked.

The masked woman chuckled arrogantly. “Both.”

“She doesn’t possess wealth, but I can offer you mine if you release her.”

“That won’t do. I want both.”

“I can give you both.”

The masked woman understood that Noah was testing her, and she made no effort to conceal

her intentions. “I want her life and

your wealth.”

Recognizing their companionship, the masked woman deduced that capturing them both would be the

most advantageous move. With Noah being the future heir of Exotic Star, she saw the potential for

extracting a hefty ransom from his wealth.

Chloe shivered as a chill traveled down her spine, and her instantly heart sank. The masked woman

might spare Noah, but the woman would kill her.

Noah set his jaw tightly as he pressed on, “What’s the reason? Why do you want to kill her?”

“Yeah. Why do you want to kill me?” Chloe’s voice grew desperate. “I don’t believe I’ve offended you.

Even if I have, I’m willing to apologize and make amends.”

In the face of life and death, a mature woman could adapt and compromise. After all, the preservation

of life often outweighed concerns about dignity and self–respect.

“Apologies won’t resolve anything. She simply wants you dead,” the masked woman replied.

Chloe trembled upon hearing those words. She wondered what kind of deep–seated resentment the

masked woman held against her to the extent that she would want her dead.

The masked woman enjoyed the look of fear on Chloe’s face and chuckled. Ten minutes later, the car

unexpectedly broke down.

“Chloe, shall we give it a try?” Noah asked in a lowered voice as he gazed upon a dagger in the

corner.

Chloe hesitated for a moment, then nodded with determination. Since she was going to die, why not

give it a try?

There were a total of four people in the vehicle, in which two of them got out to fix the car. Chloe

deliberately leaned against the man beside her, casting a pitiful glance his way. Unable to resist her

seduction, the man sitting next to her smirked at the masked woman. “Sis, this girl is really beautiful. I

want-

The masked woman gave him a sidelong glance.

“Just this once. I promise not to do it again!”

“Fine. Hurry up and finish quickly,” the masked woman said as she got up and got out of the car. Before

leaving, she grinned at Noah. “Kid, you haven’t experienced the touch of a woman, have you? Take this

opportunity to learn a lesson.”

Noah remained expressionless as he silently undid the ropes binding his hands behind his back.

The masked woman assumed that Noah had been scared silly and could not be bothered with him

anymore. Chloe made no struggle, pretending to comply, and smiled sweetly. “Darling, could you

please close the car door? I’m feeling shy.”

The man, completely enthralled, eagerly agreed, “Sure, sure.”

The masked woman outside frowned as she saw him closing the car door, but she did not say anything

since the hostages could not escape at this point anyway. When the car door closed, the man lunged at

Chloe, but this time, a sharp dagger accurately pierced his lower body from behind.

The man’s face twisted in agony, and the excruciating pain made him scream out. However, before he

could finish his cry, Noah swiftly delivered another swift and ruthless blow to the same spot.

The man convulsed from the pain and promptly lost consciousness. Chloe was taken aback, surprised

by Noah’s decisive actions. She had worried that someone like Noah, who had grown up sheltered like

a delicate flower, would hesitate and be unable to act.

Sensing Chloe’s gaze on him, Noah’s eyes flickered subtly. When he looked up again, his handsome

face was filled with fear, and his voice trembled, “He won’t die, will he?”
