Chapter 377 He Won’t Die, Will He?
Chloe’s face turned pale, and fear washed over her. She carefully reviewed recent events, realizing that she had not offended anyone and had conducted her business within the industry’s boundaries, so who could be behind her abduction?
At that moment, a masked woman sitting in the passenger seat turned to face them. Chloe’s body tensed up as the mask revealed a pair of hawk–like eyes. They sent a chill down her spine as the woman stared at her intently, reminiscent of a female ghost from a horror film.
Noah, on the other hand, remained calm and composed.
“Are you after wealth or life?” he asked.
The masked woman chuckled arrogantly. “Both.”
“She doesn’t possess wealth, but I can offer you mine if you release her.”
“That won’t do. I want both.”
“I can give you both.”
The masked woman understood that Noah was testing her, and she made no effort to conceal
her intentions. “I want her life and

Recognizing their companionship, the masked woman deduced that capturing them both would be the most advantageous move. With Noah being the future heir of Exotic Star, she saw the potential for extracting a hefty ransom from his wealth.

Noah set his jaw tightly as he pressed on, “What’s the reason? Why do you want to kill her?”
“Yeah. Why do you want to kill me?” Chloe’s voice grew desperate. “I don’t believe I’ve offended you. Even if I have, I’m willing to apologize and make amends.”
In the face of life and death, a mature woman could adapt and compromise. After all, the preservation of life often outweighed concerns about dignity and self–respect.
“Apologies won’t resolve anything. She simply wants you dead,” the masked woman replied.
Chloe trembled upon hearing those words. She wondered what kind of deep–seated resentment the masked woman held against her to the extent that she would want her dead.
The masked woman enjoyed the look of fear on Chloe’s face and chuckled. Ten minutes later, the car unexpectedly broke down.
“Chloe, shall we give it a try?” Noah asked in a lowered voice as he gazed upon a dagger in the
corner.
Chloe hesitated for a moment, then nodded with determination. Since she was going to die, why not give it a try?
There were a total of four people in the vehicle, in which two of them got out to fix the car. Chloe deliberately leaned against the man beside her, casting a pitiful glance his way. Unable to resist her seduction, the man sitting next to her smirked at the masked woman. “Sis, this girl is really beautiful. I want-
The masked woman gave him a sidelong glance.
“Just this once. I promise not to do it again!”
