Chapter 787 Lightning Will Strike Me if I Lie

“I have no idea—"

Chloe tightened her grip and said impatiently, "You’re still lying to me at this point? Seems to me like

you don’t wish to live anymore.”

"Ack… Ack!"

Being suffocated caused Vanya to gag uncontrollably. Her pale face had turned from red, then to

purple. It would not be long before she ran out of air. She struggled with all her might, but her frail

body failed her. However, she understood that her current greatest value lay in not Duskfall or

Noah’s secrets. It was in Chloe and Joseph's child. If she told Chloe the location of her kid, Noah

would not spare her.

Since death was inevitable either way, why compromise now?

Chloe had underestimated Vanya. Though Duskfall had abandoned her, Vanya gritted her teeth and

kept her silence, refusing to utter a single word.

Seeing this, Chloe's impatience grew and her anger consumed her. She clenched her teeth and

said, "Fine, I'll fulfill your wish."

They were each waiting for the other to give in.

Chloe's eyes turned bloodshot. A shadow of evil was screaming wildly in her mind. She truly wanted

to kill Vanya. If it were not for the Duskfall, she would not have separated from her child.

Vanya's breath grew shallow, and her forehead became dotted with beads of sweat. Fear gripped

her, but she had no choice but to take the risk. Out of Noah, Joseph, and Chloe, Chloe was the only

one who could sway the other two's decisions. If she could manage Chloe, the other two would just

follow Chloe's lead.

She was running out of oxygen and her vision was turning black. She was reaching her limit. If

Chloe did not let go of her, she would die.

"Welcome home, Mr. Noah."

A helper's voice rang out in the distance and Chloe's hand trembled. The last shreds of her

rationality pulled her back, and she released her grip on Vanya.

Gasping for air, Vanya stared anxiously at Chloe. Fearing that Chloe might make another move, she

hastily said, "While I can't tell you exactly where the child is, I can reveal another secret to you."

After a pause, she said in a low voice, "Your child is being raised in a healthy and joyful family

environment."

Chloe stared into Vanya’s eyes, yet was unable to determine the truth behind her words. She

glanced at Noah, then took a few steps to ensure they could not be seen from his angle. She then

looked down at Vanya and asked, "What secret?"

"I'll tell you, but you have to help me leave the country," Vanya replied.

"You haven't told me anything and you’re already negotiating with me? What gives you the nerves?"

Chloe chuckled, frustrated by Vanya's evasiveness.

Vanya set her jaw tightly and her eyes glinted with determination. "The fire at the hospital five years

ago was Noah's idea. We executed it together. Also, Xavia has an illegitimate child with a man

named Eustace Hubble. Eustace is under Noah's control. I haven't shared any of this with anyone

else but Joseph, but he only knows part of it, not the whole story. Is this enough to show my

sincerity, Ms. Chloe?"

The news hit Chloe like a ton of bricks, leaving her feeling as though she were the one struggling for

breath. "So why are you telling me?" she asked calmly.

Although Chloe appeared composed, her eyes betrayed the hidden well of emotions inside her.

Vanya could glimpse the tumultuous thoughts and conflicting feelings that churned beneath Chloe's

calm facade.

Confidently, Vanya said, "Because they love you. As long as you say the word, neither Joseph nor

Noah will make things difficult for me."

"They love me?" Chloe burst into laughter, unable to stop even when tears streamed down her face.

"Noah loves me? If he did, why would he destroy my marriage? Why would he hurt my child? Why

would he inflict such pain on me?"
