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 andposed.


    “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 theirpanionship, 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 andpromise. 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 minutester, 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 nce 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 nce.


    “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 toply, and smiled sweetly. “Darling, could you


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


    The man,pletely 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 urately 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?”
