    “Thank goodness we came here. Otherwise, we would have missed it,” Chloe said, raising her


    eyebrows and smiling at him with a hint of pride. “You see, trusting me was the right choice, wasn’t it?”


    Noah held the old photograph in his hands, gently caressing it with his fingertips. “You knew they were


    trying to pull a fast one on us, so why did you still give them the money?”


    “Because this photo is important to you. It’s priceless in your heart. And besides, recovering something


    lost and cherished is a joyful event. Since we had the means to do it, there’s not point in getting upset


    over unworthy people,” Chloe said, her voice gentle and serene.


    Her unadorned face remained stunningly radiant. The scattered moonlight cascading upon her seemed


    to envelop her in a celestial glow as if she were an angel. Noah gazed at her, his mind. momentarily


    nk. Beautyy in the eye of the beholder, and the world was adorned with countless variations of


    beauty, Chloe was not the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, but at this moment, he felt that no


    other woman couldpare to her.


    Sensing Noah’s peculiar gaze, Chloe poked him teasingly and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you


    touched?”


    He spoke honestly, “A little.”


    She had managed to bring down the walls he had built around his heart. Those around him. might treat


    him well, but their kindness was often ttery and ttery alone.


    “I too have an old photo of me and my mother. I’d be devastated if I had lost it. I’d spend not just a

    exist.

    Noah’s voice sounded muffled as if he were speaking to her and to himself simultaneously.” Chloe,


    we’re the same kind of people.”


    ‘People like us should be together.’


    Chloe could not hear clearly and reached to clean her ears. “What did you say?”


    “It’s nothing,” he replied with a gentle demeanor, smiling to reveal his yful charm. “To


    repay you for the hefty sum of a thousand bucks, I’ll treat you to a meal tomorrow. You can choose the


    venue.”


    “That’s not necessary. I have something to attend tomorrow.”


    “What is it?”


    “I’ll be attending a forum with Joseph.”


    Noah raised his eyebrows slightly as he casually responded, “Okay, we’ll discuss it another time then.”


    “We’ll see when the timees.”


    Chloe did not think much of it and brushed it off as a casual remark.


    The next day arrived, and Chloe and Joseph attended the forum.


    Aware of the presence of numerous influential figures at the event, Chloe paid meticulous. attention to


    her appearance before setting out. She diligently applied a face mask to achieve a wless


    complexion, carefully applied her face with makeup, delicately curled her hair into elegant waves, and


    adorned herself with a subtle touch of perfume. She spared no effort in ensuring that every aspect of


    her appearance was perfect, leaving no detail overlooked.

    entered the venue, she caught the attention of everyone present.


    Joseph’s brows furrowed as he cast a disdainful nce at the men who dared to eye Chloe with


    covetous intent. Hismanding presence alone was enough to make them avert their gazes,


    choosing instead to steal furtive nces at her.


    Meanwhile, Xavia, seated in the business car, wore an unpleasant expression upon witnessing this


    scene. She had no idea that Joseph was bringing Chloe with him, and she wondered how she was


    going to make her move now.


    Scott followed her line of sight and his eyes brightened. “Ah, she’s absolutely captivating.”


    Xavia curled her lips mockingly. “She’s the one who snatched Joe from me.”


    “Well, I can understand why he would choose her over you.”


    “You’re attracted to someone like her as well?”
