Chapter 685 You Insist on Courting Darkness


    Eustace erupted in anger. He grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her out of the apartment to a car


    downstairs, indifferent to how she resisted and struggled. He then let her go and carried a girl out of


    the shotgun seat.


    The girl was pretty, with fair and tender skin. Her eyes were round andrge and her hair done up in


    two braids. However, her eyes were unfocused, signaling she was different from others of her age.


    "Aggie, say hi to Mommy," Eustace urged the girl tenderly.


    The girl seemed to understand him as she looked toward Xavia and said, "Hi, Mommy."


    "Aaaahhh! No!!!" Xavia broke down and screamed as if she had been punched. She then pped


    the girl. "Get out of here!"

    The little girl, Angelina Hubble, made no response as if she did not feel the pain of the p. She


    was still in a daze. Everything seemed to remind Xavia that Angelina was a mentally challenged


    child, and the girl was her child.


    Xavia''s face twisted in rage. Unable to let go of her anger, she pped Angelina again. The two


    ps were clear and sudden, and they were beyond description.


    Eustace finally snapped out of his shock. He pushed Xavia away and enveloped Angelina in his


    arms. He scolded Xavia, his voice filled with excruciating pain, "Are you out of your mind?! You’re a


    monster! Aggie’s your daughter!”


    "No, she''s not! I don''t know who you two are! Stop harassing me!”


    Xavia ran away after delivering those cruel words. Eustace lost thest shred of hope he had for her


    after witnessing what just happened. Some people would never regret what they had done.


    Noah walked out of a dark corner. His expression was unfathomable as the cloudy sky overhead.


    "You have a bright future, yet you insist on courting darkness.”


    The child would never invoke Xavia''s conscience and motherly love because the woman was


    inhumane. All she ever thought about was fame and vanity.


    Eustace hugged Angelina tightly as tears rolled down his cheeks. Engulfed by a deep chill, he said


    hoarsely, "I know what I should do now."


    It then started drizzling. Holding up an umbre, Noah looked at the girl in Eustace''s arms. He then


    said lightly, "I''m going to pick Coco up. You go home first."


    Eustace immediately said, "And how are you getting there? The rain’s getting pretty heavy."


    "Exotic Star is not far from here, and Coco has a car. I’ll go home with her."

    Chloe introduced her proposal to the department staff, but they did not seem very enthusiastic upon


    hearing it.


    "This won''t work in our country. In Asvand, we need innovation, exaggeration, hot topics, and


    rity." Freida hit the nail on the head and pointed out where the problems were, mercilessly


    exposing the ws of Chloe''s n.


    Chloe was about to refute when the other employees echoed Freida''s words.


    "Freida is right. Of course, I''m not saying that your n is bad, Ms. Chloe. It''s just a matter of


    cultural differences.”


    "Yeah, Ms. Chloe. I suggest you familiarize yourself with Asvand’s environment first."


    "That''s right. Marketing is making some great achievements right now, so there’s no need to rush


    anything.”


    Chloe became vexed as she stared at the n in her hand. She wondered if there was now a gap


    between her and these people because she had stayed abroad for a long time.


    Noah, standing at the door of the office, gently knocked on the ss. He smiled and said, "It''s time


    to get off work."


    Chloe waved helplessly and sent the staff on their way.


    Before leaving, Freida walked past Chloe. "I can send you a few sessful cases for you to


    reference from."


    Chloe was struck speechless, feeling like Freida was trying to be the leader here. Despite how she


    felt, she suppressed her feelings and nodded. “Sure, thanks."


    "I have one condition," Freida stated.


    "...What?"


    "I want an invitation to Fairlight’s finance research forum happening at the end of this month.”


    Chloe frowned suspiciously. "And what do you n on doing there?"


    Freida lowered her eyes and gave a bogus-sounding exnation, "I''m interested in the field."


    A glimmer appeared in Chloe’s eyes as she looked the middle-aged woman up and down. Paige


    looked ordinary, donning in clothes and simple sses, but her long and shiny ck hair


    elevated her demeanor.
