Chapter 464 To Conceal Those Vulgar Thoughts
Chloe sat up in a daze and checked the time. It was two o’clock in the afternoon.
Joseph got out of bed and picked up his clothes to put them on, buttoning his shirtnguidly. ” Go wash
up. Don’t bother with makeup. They’ve been waiting downstairs for a while now.”
“Got it.”
Chloe washed her face with water to eliminate her sleepiness and wake herself up. She then checked
her appearance in the mirror and found that her eyes were slightly bloodshot. It was most probably a
result of her piteous cries the day before.
In the tea room in the yard, Noah was wearing a simple white T-shirt and loose jeans. The bangs he
combed up yesterday were now lying softly over his forehead. With his head lowered, he looked like an
obedient child who had done something wrong.
Joseph, who came downstairs, saw this scene and secretly scoffed. ‘What a pretentious man!’
“Chloe, are you okay?” Harold asked Chloe in concern as he took the lead.
The police had suppressed the news, and everything had happened out of the blue. If Desmond had
not gone to Harold, thetter would still be ignorant of the ident.
“Jojo and the police got there in time, so I wasn’t hurt.” After that, she greeted Desmond, ” I’m sorry to
have kept you waiting.”
Desmond waved his hand and appeared solemn. “Exotic Star failed in our security measures yesterday
and put a lot of people in peril. I came with Noah today to apologize to you.”
He did not feel embarrassed since it was a life-and-death issue. Dignity and pride were vague and
could never bepared to life-and-death matters.
Noah timely looked up with deep guilt in his innocent eyes. He bowed to them deeply, his tone and
expression were depictions of vehement sincerity. “Mr. Joseph, Coco, I’m sorry.”
Chloe wanted to help him up, but Joseph stopped her. It was unknown if he did it intentionally or not.
He smiled faintly. “It’s fine. After all, idents are unavoidable. I’m just curious why you asked them to
take you as the hostage instead yesterday?”
Harold’s eyes flickered with a curious light. ‘Did something like that happen?’
“He’s young, so he isn’t very mature in handling things. I scolded him about it,” Desmond exined.
“I see.” Joseph nodded. The side of his face was handsome. He then said casually, “I thought it was
because you cared so much about her.”
Chloe knitted her brows and discreetly yanked his sleeve to indicate that the two elders were around,
so he could not speak nonsense.
Unexpectedly, Noah nodded. “Mr. Joseph, you’re right. I cared very much about this affair.” Joseph
raised his brows and looked at Noah.

“To be honest, the Whitmans are the head of the four families in Docwood and take great care of Exotic
Star. My grandpa is old now, and I’m inexperienced. I’ll certainly need your help in the future,” Noah
slowly borated. His face was full of shame, but his bright eyes were gentle and sincere. “At that time,
I thought of the fact that Coco is a very important person to you, Mr. Joseph. If anything happens to her,
a conflict will ensue between the Whitmans and Exotic Star. Feeling anxious, my mind went nk and I
wanted to take Coco’s position.”
“Yes, Noah told me the reason when we got home yesterday. Ms. Chloe, we’re very sorry,” Desmond
echoed Noah’s words in an unnatural tone.
Beforeing here, he tried to figure out how to exin the hostage exchange. After dwelling over it,
there was no other way but to tell the truth, but he could not im that Noah was worried about Chloe’s
safety. It would be openly trying to im that there was something fishy between Chloe and Noah.
It was despicable and vulgar if Noah tried to save Chloe out of his own interest. After all, they had only
met Chloe merely a few times.
However, Joseph was greatly infuriated. In the end, they did not care about Chloe but about the
rtionship between the Whitmans and Exotic Star. They said such colorful words to hide that bit of
vulgar thought in them.
