Chapter 437


    Chapter 437 Joseph and Xavia Holding Hands


    “I’m attracted to every good-looking person, including you.”


    Scott possessed an attractive appearance, with a tall and well-built physique, and his captivating eyes


    had the ability to mesmerize anyone who looked into them.


    Xavia remained doubtful of his words but took the initiative to move closer, gently stroking his face. “Do


    you want to indulge onest time before getting married?”


    Scott immediately grasped her intentions and declined her proposal. “Assisting you is the limit of my


    involvement. Dealing with that woman is beyond what I’m willing to do.”


    The only woman who could apany Joseph to a public gathering-apart from the one before him


    was the neer who had made her appearance today. Moreover, Scott’s intuition told him that


    Joseph favored thetter more. He was not foolish enough to involve himself in unnecessary trouble.


    “But besides Joe, no other man has touched that woman. Don’t you want to experience it for yourself?”


    Xavia had applied a lightyer of makeup today, including a touch of lip balm, leaving her lips with a


    shimmering and ethereal quality. They appeared translucent, hinting at vulnerability and evoking a


    protective instinct within the hearts of those who beheld them.


    Scott could barely deny the temptation, but when confronted with the significant risks involved, he


    chose to refuse. “You know me well. Prospects outweigh beauty.”


    Naturally, Xavia knew about this. If not for wanting to take a shortcut, why would he ever marry a petite


    nerd who was only 5 feet tall?


    “Fine, I won’t push you. I’ve given you the item, but make sure that Joe consumes it.”


    “I’ll try my best, but if he refuses to drink it, there’s nothing I can do about it.”

    Xavia nodded. Currently, that was not her primary concern. Her greatest worry was that Chloe might


    once again get in her way and sabotage her grand scheme. Although the dosage this time was not


    strong enough topletely overpower Joseph, Xavia could not help but think that there was nothing


    more impactful than having Chloe witness her and Joseph’s intimate moments firsthand.


    The forum began. Chloe had apanied Joseph to simr events several times before when she


    was working for Fairlight, so she was familiar with the process flow. After listening to the host’s speech,


    she suddenly felt difort in her stomach and decided to retreat to the private resting room that the


    organizers had arranged for Joseph.


    During the open discussion phase, a delightful melody of a violin echoed through the venue, causing


    Chloe’s heart to skip a beat. She stood up and pushed the door open, wanting to see


    what was happening. To her surprise, it was Xavia and her team gracefully performing on the stage.


    Xavia’s gaze was filled with affection as she locked eyes with Joseph amid the crowd, her expression


    daring and intense.


    A breath hitched in Chloe’s throat, and she swiftly abandoned the idea of resting. She yearned to return


    to Joseph’s side, fearing that Xavia might attempt another mischievous act. Just as she prepared to


    step forward, the neighboring resting room’s door swung open, revealing Noah’s presence.


    Chloe’s mouth gaped open in surprise, “What are you doing here?”


    ‘Does he know finance as well?’


    “My grandfather expressed that he wanted me to attend a forum and learn from senior figures in the


    business world. It was only after I arrived that I realized it was a financial forum,” Noah replied with a


    touch of astonishment, his expression not much different from Chloe’s.


    “Oh, I see. But I’m in a hurry right now. We’ll chatter,” Chloe responded.


    “Is it that urgent? The performance is still ongoing. Why not finish listening to it before attending to your


    business?” Noah suggested.


    Chloe nced at the woman on stage and then shifted her gaze to Joseph, who was engaged in


    animated conversation with others. After a moment’s hesitation, she said, “All right, that works too.”


    Joseph seemed busy right now, and it would not be appropriate to disturb him.


    Chloe and Noah engaged in a casual conversation. After a while, he went to the refreshment area and


    brought back a slice of blueberry pie for her, Chloe delicately held a small spoon, savoring each bite of


    the pie. The creaminess intertwined with the sweetness and tanginess of the blueberries created a


    delightfulbination of vors that pleased her pte.


    “Is it delicious? There’s also a strawberry pie. If you like it, I can-” Noah paused abruptly, his gaze fixed


    in the direction of the stage.


    Puzzled, Chloe followed his line of sight and noticed Xavia finishing her violin performance. It seemed


    that wearing high heels made it difficult for her to descend the stage, and at that moment, Joseph


    stepped forward, extending his hand to assist her.


    With a tender smile, Xavia interlocked her fingers with his in an affectionate and intimate manner.


    Although Joseph’s expression remained concealed from Chloe, it was evident that he neither avoided


    nor rejected the gesture.


    Chloe felt her heart tighten, making it difficult to breathe.
