Chapter 952 They’ve Turned on Each Other

She never expected Noah to do something so irrational. Noah’s face bore the red marks of the slap as silence hung in the air. "Are you done?" He looked away from her as his sinister and fierce attitude melted under Chloe’s gentle gaze. Chloe trembled. She yearned to get rid of him. "Did you do anything else to me? Why did you take me to the psychology research institute that one time? Why does my head hurt for no reason? I feel I've forgotten a lot of things..." Noah narrowed his eyes. "I don't know what you're talking about, and I've already told you everything. There's nothing else I can say." "Don't… Don’t let Grandfather down, Noach." She hoped that he would repent. But Noah’s only response was to sneer. The real battle had just begun, and he would never lose to Joseph. Besides, without Desmond’s shackles, he could be unscrupulous now. This suffocating and oppressive atmosphere the two men created was unbearable for Chloe. They were constantly at each other’s throats and plotting against each other. She did not catch the change in Noah's expression and left after he stopped talking. * Back in her bedroom, Chloe felt restless and decided to head to the office. She went online to try and book an appointment with the psychology research institute but it was to no avail. The netizens suggested she visit the institute and, hopefully, cross paths with Alfred. They suggested she try her luck with him as he loved taking on difficult cases. Chloe let go of the mouse and rubbed her eyes. As she walked toward the window to get some fresh air, she saw a familiar figure walking quickly downstairs. Why was Xavia here? She decided to go downstairs and check it out. When she stepped into the elevator, she found her colleagues looking at her strangely. One of the bolder colleagues asked, "Did you break up with Mr. Noah, Ms. Chloe?" Chloe lowered her gaze and muttered, “Yeah, I did.” "Why though? Mr. Noah is so nice to you. Don't tell me the rumors on the Internet are real. Are you going back to Mr. Joseph after abandoning Mr. Noah?” "Mr. Noah is such a nice guy. Please don't do this to him." "Yeah, the whole Internet is calling you an ungrateful slut.” "And Mr. Noah won’t leave Exotic Star, will he?" Their eager and worried looks made Chloe speechless and upset, and her colleagues took her silence as proof. They shot disdainful glares at her, trying to seek justice for Noah. With a ding, the door of the elevator slid open and Chloe walked out. "I'll stand up for Mr. Noah if he's driven out of the company. This is outrageous!" "Stop. We don't have much say in this. Just work and earn your living." "But the board does. I'm sure they'll put a stop to this. After all, they need a man to handle this company." "I heard they came a few days ago to discuss something, but what was discussed remains a mystery."
