Chapter 777 If He Used His Power to Commit Crimes


    "No, miss. Mr. Noah’s in the rear garden." After a pause, the helper added, "Ms. Zoelle is with him."


    Chloe frowned. "When did she get here?"


    "About an hour ago. She just visited the wing. I think they''re discussing something right now."


    “Okay. Thank you."


    Chloe went to her bedroom balcony and looked down. She could see the whole rear garden from


    there, but it was hard to hear any conversation because of the height.


    Zoelle threw some herbs onto the round table and gave Noah some instructions.


    "Okay, I''ll have the helpers deal with it."


    Zoelle then sighed absent-mindedly and unhappily.


    Noah poured her a cup of hot tea. "What''s wrong? Can''t get used to life here in Docwood?"


    "No, I travel all year round, so I can adapt easily."


    "Why did you sigh then?"


    "This is the first time any man has turned me down. I’ve failed to capture Joseph''s heart." Zoelle felt


    upset, defeated, and reluctant. "He remains loyal to his wife. What does she look like? Do you


    know? Can you show me a picture of her?"


    Noah paused, then turned to stare at her. "He has an ex-wife, not a wife. He’s just deluding himself."


    "Do you know her? Show me."


    "It''s unnecessary. Do you like him?"


    "Of course not." Zoelle waved nonchntly. It was true that she had no feelings for him. She just


    could not ept that he had refused her. She had met many handsome men, so she was not easily


    dazzled.


    She decided to stop dwelling on the matter. She picked up a grape and bit into it, savoring its taste.


    "Your major in college was psychology, right?"


    "Yeah."


    "Do you know hypnosis then?"


    "A little."


    When he left Docwood, he had not given up on his studies. He studied hard and graduated. If not


    for the family business, he would have be a psychologist.


    Zoelle leaned back into her chair with her arms crossed. She said with interest, "I never tried


    hypnosis. I want to give it a go."


    She heard that those who underwent hypnosis would feel refreshed as if they had entered into a


    new world.


    Noah smiled. "Sure. Let me grab something."


    Five minutester, he came back with a pocket watch.


    "Look at this, try to blink as little as possible, and just rx,” he said in a pleasant and gentle voice,


    which sounded quite bewitching.


    Slowly, Zoelle closed her eyes following his instructions. After some time, she slowly opened her


    eyes. The sunlight was not as bright as before she had gone under. Stunned, she took her phone


    out to check the time. She had slept for three hours.


    Suddenly, she had a new outlook on Noah. She was a vignt person and had never slept so


    soundly. Noah was proved to be proficient in hypnosis. It would be terrible if he used that power to


    commit crimes.

    Chloe observed them for a while before closing the blinds. She had to think. She wondered if she


    should make things clear to Noah now or wait until she gained concrete evidence. As shey in bed


    and stared at the ceiling thoughtfully, someone knocked on her door.


    "Coco, are you home?"


    It was Noah.


    Chloe sat up. After the initial shock, she calmed down and said, "Yes, I''m here. Give me a minute."


    When she opened the door, Noah came in with a te of grapes, beaming at her. "These were


    shipped in from abroad today. Have some. I know you like these particr grapes."


    Chloe chewed on her lip. "Okay."


    Feeling a little aggrieved, Noah asked, "Are you feeling unwell? You didn''te to see me when


    you got home."Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.
