Chapter 461 Just Kill the Bitch.
Chloe stiffened. She obediently followed the man out before she hugged her head with both hands and
got on her knees.
It was a mess out there. Most of the attendants had run away by taking advantage of the mess. A small
part of the crowd was subdued by the robbers, including Noah and Abigail.
Abigail was the only injured person among them. Her thigh had been shot, and her face was beaten up.
It looked like she had fought against them. However, physicalbat could not withstand the power of
firearms.
Too many people were being held there, so the police tried to negotiate with the robbers.
“Get me a van now. I’ll give you three minutes. One of them will die with every minute that you’rete!”
The leader was a fierce and ruthless man. He pressed his gun against Chloe’s forehead and gestured
arrogantly. “Tell Joseph Whitman to get me 75 million in cash. Otherwise, I’ll blow up this bitch’s head!”
Tyson appeared toply, asking someone to get them a van.
Noah watched as they tried to take Chloe away forcefully. Suddenly, he stood up. “Let her go. I’ll be
your hostage. I’m the heir of Exotic Star. I’m more valuable than her.”
Chloe was stunned as she looked at him firmly,plicated feelings surging through her. ‘Wh -What is
he doing?”
Desmond had hurried to the scene with Joseph in a panic. When he heard this, his aging face turned
pale. He wanted to rebuke Noah not to speak nonsense but he saw Joseph out of the corner of his eye.
Joseph looked like a demon that had crawled out from hell at that moment, exuding great fierceness
and coldness. Atst, Desmond remained silent.
Tyson was afraid that Joseph would act recklessly, so he immediately lowered his voice and said,
“There’s a tracker in the van. Keep calm. We need to get control over the situation first.”
Joseph ignored him as he fiercely glued his gaze to Chloe. He appearedposed, but his back was
drenched. His fingertips trembled slightly.
The tanned, slim man had a strange expression. “Kid, are you courting death? Do you know what it
means to be a hostage?”
Noah touched the dagger he had on him. “I’m afraid of death but can’t let others die. Exotic Star failed
in its security measures in today’s jewelry show, so you guys had the chance to do this. Don’t hurt the
innocent.”
After ncing at Noah, the tanned, slim man whispered to his boss, “He’s right. He is the heir of Exotic
Star. Why don’t we make a switch…”
The jewelry they had stolen that day was enough for them to lead a worry-free life. If they
could take Noah…
But the leader pped the tanned, thin man. “There must be something strange when things. go
wrong. Businessmen are crafty. Don’t listen to him!”
Atst, the hostage remained the same. When they wanted to drive the car away, Joseph spoke up. “I
can give you the money, but I want you to swear that you will not harm Chloe. Otherwise, I’ll find you
and hack you to pieces no matter how far you run.”
He sounded calm but his words carried a conspicuous fierceness. Even the leader shuddered in fear,
feeling goosebumps pop up on his skin. “Of course, but you have to give me 75 million in total.”
They then put a sack over Chloe’s head so she could not see anything outside. She could hear
Joseph’s voice though, and she sniffed as a sense of security engulfed her. Joseph always meant what
he said. It was not hard for him to cough up 75 million. What was hard was to get 75 million in cash.
The robbers drove off. The others at the scene hugged each other and cried piteously after surviving
the disaster.
Noah walked straight to Xavia, who was in a corner. He interrogated her condescendingly, ” There were
three people in the makeup room. The makeup artist is dead, and Chloe was kidnapped. You’re the
only one who’s safe and sound. Why is that?”
Xavia’s face stiffened slightly. “I couldn’t control who the robbers wanted to take.”
“What did you do?” Coldness crept up his amber-like eyes, his tone overbearing.
No one had ever seen this side of Noah. Joseph focused on the rescue n with Tyson, so he did not
notice what was happening backstage.
Desmond’s eyelids twitched before ordering the driver to take Noah away, but thetter pushed the
driver away and walked to Joseph. No one could discern any emotion on his pretty
face.
“How much more do you need? I have the money.”
Joseph red up in a rage and ignored him.
Tyson wanted to tread cautiously, so he felt that they had to prepare the money. Besides, 75 million in
cash was not a small sum. If Noah was willing to pay, they should ept his
assistance. But atst, he did not mention this.
Xavia did not step forward. She smirked with joy in the face of the mess. ‘It’s best if the kidnappers kill
her. If she’s dead, I’m the only one Joseph will have left.”

The van drove for an unknown period before Chloe was taken to a vige.
“Stay here!”
The tanned, thin man took off the sack on Chloe’s head, and she could see again. She nced at the
strange environment. It was clear that this ce had been abandoned for a long time.
There were five robbers in total. They gathered to take ount of the jewelry they had gotten.
“We’re going to be rich. We can’t spend all of this in addition to the 75 million.”
“I didn’t expect this woman to be so valuable. We should’ve just kidnapped her and demanded a
ransom instead of robbing a jewelry show.”
“We can sell the robbed jewelry to foreign rich businessmen. As for ckmailing, it’s a bit meddlesome
to deal with the hostage.”
“What’s so meddlesome? When we get the money, we let the woman go.”

“No one’s going to hand over the woman to them,” the leader suddenly said after gulping down arge
mouthful of beer.
The others looked at each other in dismay before they lowered their heads in tacit understanding. After
a few seconds of silence, a murderous intent suddenly appeared in the leader’s eyes.
“We can’t hand her over. Just kill the bitch!”
It was better to avoid trouble. They should just get the money and flee.
