Chapter 346 Young Yet Masterfully Cunning
Noah took out his phone and snapped a photo of Ward 317 where Chloe was staying. He wasted no time in forwarding the image to Joseph, accompanied by a message that said, [Coco got into a car accident and suffered some minor injuries. Would you like to come and see her, Mr. Joseph?]

However, hidden within the seemingly ordinary photograph was a subtle detail-a glimpse of Icarus’ face in the lower right corner. Though the image was blurry, anyone acquainted with Icarus would easily recognize him upon seeing it.
Maintaining a composed demeanor, Noah arched his eyebrows and casually leaned against the wall. Instead of immediately divulging the true identity of the man occupying the neighboring ward, he aimed to exploit the situation to his advantage.
If his investigations proved accurate, he was more inclined toward a betrothal with Chloe rather than a marriage alliance,

Joseph’s expression grew stormy as he read the text, his gaze fixed on the unmistakable figure of Icarus captured in the corner of the photo. Frustration welled up within him as he mused, How could Chloe have been so careless? It’s as if she’s constantly finding trouble. And this time she got into a car accident with Icarus. They seem to always be together.’
However, Noah’s maneuvers were rather intriguing. Was he deliberately igniting the feud between Joseph and Icarus, with the intention of positioning himself as the ultimate beneficiary? Young, yet masterfully cunning, he possessed a mind beyond his years.
“Go buy a bouquet of white lilies and deliver them to Icarus.”
Lucas’ lips twitched involuntarily when he heard the request. ‘White lilies are commonly associated with funerals and mourning the dead. Isn’t it a sign of cursing someone to die?’ he thought, ‘I’m not making such an asshole move. I should delegate this to someone else in the company.’
Joseph tightly grasped his expensive pen, his face devoid of any emotion as he mechanically signed the documents before him. The delicate pages, however, suffered the consequences of his firm grip, tearing under the pressure of the pen’s tip.
Displeased with the outcome, he nonchalantly discarded the pen into the trash can. His voice turned cold and detached as he demanded, “Reprint these. Are you using the company’s money to acquire subpar goods?”
Lucas felt like whimpering and crying. What inferior goods? It was not the fault of the materials; it was simply the relentless force with which Mr. Joseph pressed down that caused the unfortunate outcome.
“Are you sick?”
“No, I got into a car accident. It isn’t serious.”
“Okay, let’s talk face-to-face.”
Noah arrived at the hospital at nine o’clock. He went upstairs based on the direction Chloe had given him. The number of Chloe’s ward was 317. When he passed by Ward 316, he heard a man whispering about something.
“I’m in the hospital and she feels very guilty now.
“Yes, correct. Don’t force Chloe. Let her compromise and she’ll give in when the time is right.
“Mm-hm, hurry up and deal with Joseph. If there are too many accidents, people will get suspicious.
“Just keep an eye on Chloe. Don’t let her go to Joseph. I’m confident that I can marry her.’
Noah smirked and quietly took a few steps back, hiding himself in the shadows. Everything
was just a self-directed play, and it seemed like Chloe had been fooled.
After dwelling on it for a while, he decided to tell Joseph that Chloe was hospitalized.

However, he maintained his respectful demeanor and was just about to leave when he paused in his steps. “Sir, Patrick called and informed me that your grandfather is being discharged from the hospital today. He requested you to pick him up.”
Joseph massaged his temples, a clear sign of his mounting frustration. “I’m aware.”
It seemed that Harold had grown suspicious of Xavia. He had likely stumbled upon something that raised concerns and wanted to question him about it.
On the other side, Noah did not wait for Joseph’s response. He pocketed his phone and knocked on the door of the ward.
“Come in.” Chloe’s voice came from within.
As Noah entered, he found her seated by the bed. Her eyes fixed on him for a fleeting moment before a smile adorned her slender and delicate face. “You truly resemble a wide-eyed freshman,” she remarked.
