Chapter 752 Noah Was the Person Pulling the Strings


    After parting ways with Michael, Chloe spent some time alone. The essence of the matter was not a


    big deal for her, but it all became different once deception was involved, especially when Joseph


    used that all-knowing gaze of his to openly remind her all the time. It made her ufortable.


    Clutching the business card Michael had given her, she hesitated for a moment before decisively


    crumpling it and tossing it into the nearby trash bin. She did not need to rely on others to learn


    about Noah. She was determined to uncover the truth herself.


    Thepany''s ounts and Noah''s private ounts were kept entirely separate, but Noah had


    always been open with Chloe about his financial matters. essing his bank ount was a


    straightforward task.

    Sitting in her car, Chloe retrieved theptop from the back seat and ced it on herp. Her fingers


    danced across the keyboard as she logged in to Noah’s ount. His expenses appeared to be


    simple and minimal, which made it easy for her to investigate further.


    She discovered that a substantial transfer had been made to a mediapanyst month. Michael


    was telling the truth. Noah was the person pulling the strings behind the scandal all along.


    Staring at the screen for a long time, Chloe''s brows furrowed tighter and tighter. She briefly


    wondered if she had misread something, but the numbers on theputer screen confirmed the


    truth. Noah was as despicable as Michael had said.


    Afterposing herself, Chloe organized her thoughts and promptly headed back to Exotic Star.

    "Coco?" Noah was looking over project reports when he heard someoneing up. His eyes lit up


    when he saw her. "Aren''t you supposed to be off today?"


    Chloe went straight to the point, her expression tense and her tone serious. "Why did you give


    money to a mediapanyst month?"


    Noah''s brows and eyes twitched almost imperceptibly, then he quickly regained hisposure.


    Instead of answering her question, he gently asked, "Did someone say something to you?"


    "Answer me. Did you or did you not pay the mediapany?"


    His eyes flickered, but he calmly replied, "I did. Is there a problem?"


    Chloe was left speechless, her eyes filled with disbelief. How could someone nearly ruin another


    person''s future and speak about it so casually, then have the audacity to ask if there was a


    problem?


    "How did you find out?" Noah appeared curious, unaware of Chloe''s emotional changes. "I talked to


    the media about a coboration to generate some exposure for Exotic Star. Your department will be


    having a live broadcast next month, and I thought of promoting it early."


    "...What do you mean? So, that money wasn’t used to frame Michael?"


    Hearing this, Noah''s face disyed a hint of coldness before quickly adopting a smile. "How could


    that be possible? Why would I ckmail him?"


    Chloe hesitated, unable to utter the words “Because you’re jealous.”


    "If you were promoting Exotic Star, why did you use your private ount?"


    "I wanted to help you achieve better results without burdening you. If you mind it, I''ll discuss it with


    you first next time," Noah exined in a gentle voice, tinged with a hint of unease as he apologized.


    Chloe felt conflicted, not knowing how to feel. Something seemed off. Michael had seemed


    confident, and she detected no signs of him lying. After all, he had no reason to.


    "Coco, Michael is part of the entertainment circle. He may say one thing in front of someone and


    then another behind their back. He was sidelined by thepany recently, which might have


    prompted him to act out."


    Noah''s exnation was logical and convincing, providing reasons that were difficult to refute. At this


    moment, Chloe found herself uncertain about whom to believe. She furrowed her brows, not


    knowing what to say.
