Chapter 460 A Gun Aiming At Chloe’s Head
Joseph fixed his gaze on Chloe. His long amorous eyes were full of extreme possessiveness. He had always regarded the dumbo as a charming woman, and now, he yearned to dig out the eyes of those who were staring at her intensely.
While narrowing her eyes, Xavia looked at Noah sitting in the front row. ‘I don’t know why he invited me. Does he just want me to see that bitch Chloe show off?’
Noah seemed to have realized something. He turned around and smirked at Xavia. Then, he got up and walked backstage.
Xavia received a text from an unknown number. [Come with me.] She hesitated for a few seconds before she hurried after Noah.
In the corridor, Noah took out Eustace’s phone. He smiled broadly. “Does this look familiar?”
Xavia’s face paled and her hair stood on end. “Why do you have Eustace’s phone?”
“I picked it up.”
Incredulity, horror, and vigilance got the better of her. “What do you want?”
“Was it your doing? The hot topic on the Internet?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
“You can sew discord between Chloe and Joseph. I won’t bat an eyelid over it, but you can’t hurt her.”
Xavia was a smart person. She could tell something was amiss. “Do you like Chloe?”
“It’s none of your business.”
“Why should I do what you say?”
Noah looked up and smiled gently before he absent-mindedly switched on Eustace’s phone, playing a recording.
“Vee, I’m so cold down there. You and our child should come and be with me.
“Vee…”
Eustace called out her name as if he was a ghost haunting her and demanding her life. It sounded very strange and terrifying in the vacant corridor.
Xavia’s face turned livid. Even her lips started to tremble. “Stop trying to bluff me. Eustace is long dead!”
“Maybe. But even if he is, he left a baby in your belly.”
It was like a fatal blow, rooting her to the spot. She rarely lost her composure, but she had gone berserk during the two instances that she met Noah.
“What the hell do you want, Noah?”
“I told you. You can make them fall out with each other.” He glanced at the time on the phone and said, “The show is almost over. They’re probably being all lovey-dovey right now. Aren’t you jealous?”
After Xavia took a deep breath, she reluctantly left. As she walked out, she saw a makeup artist helping Chloe back to the makeup room for fear that the jewelry on her would be damaged. Staring at the dangling earrings, an idea dawned on Xavia and she approached the makeup artist.
“What can I do for you?” Chloe asked calmly when she saw Xavia.
“I-”
A word escaped her when a sudden piercing alarm interrupted her.
Soon a commotion could be heard outside. After a few gunshots, silence was restored.
Desmond called Joseph out to a pavilion outside the hall. When Joseph heard the noise, he soon realized that something was wrong, so he hurried there, but it was too late.
The makeup artist flurriedly wanted to take off the diamond necklace around Chloe’s neck, but she became clumsy from her anxiety. Chloe tried to help her but someone abruptly kicked
open
the door as the makeup artist walked to the safe with the diamond necklace.
A tanned and slim man stood at the door. His gaze fell on the makeup artist.
Bang!
Bang!
The makeup artist was shot twice and fell to the floor. The smell of blood spread through the air. The man then picked up the necklace that had fallen to the floor and stuffed it into his pocket. However, he suddenly stopped as he was walking toward the door.
Chloe broke out in a cold sweat, and she did not dare to breathe. Her palm-sized face was pale as blood drained out of her face. She recognized the man in front of her as a wanted criminal who had killed many people.
Xavla was no better. Her nerves were tense as great remorse engulfed her. She regretted coming to the show.
Suddenly, they heard sirens.
