Chapter 436 No Woman Is Prettier Than Chloe

Chloe frowned slightly but did not dwell on it. Swiftly taking the money back, she scanned the QR code

on the countertop and deposited a thousand dollars. The stall keeper, satisfied upon hearing the

notification sound of the payment, handed the photo to Noah.

“Thank goodness we came here. Otherwise, we would have missed it,” Chloe said, raising her

eyebrows and smiling at him with a hint of pride. “You see, trusting me was the right choice, wasn’t it?”

Noah held the old photograph in his hands, gently caressing it with his fingertips. “You knew they were

trying to pull a fast one on us, so why did you still give them the money?”

“Because this photo is important to you. It’s priceless in your heart. And besides, recovering something

lost and cherished is a joyful event. Since we had the means to do it, there’s not point in getting upset

over unworthy people,” Chloe said, her voice gentle and serene.

Her unadorned face remained stunningly radiant. The scattered moonlight cascading upon her seemed

to envelop her in a celestial glow as if she were an angel. Noah gazed at her, his mind. momentarily

blank. Beauty lay in the eye of the beholder, and the world was adorned with countless variations of

beauty, Chloe was not the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, but at this moment, he felt that no

other woman could compare to her.

Sensing Noah’s peculiar gaze, Chloe poked him teasingly and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you

touched?”

He spoke honestly, “A little.”

She had managed to bring down the walls he had built around his heart. Those around him. might treat

him well, but their kindness was often flattery and flattery alone.

“I too have an old photo of me and my mother. I’d be devastated if I had lost it. I’d spend not just a

thousand, but five, or even ten thousand to buy it back. I understand how you feel,” Chloe empathized,

fully experiencing the same emotions.

She understood that everyone harbored a delicate part of themselves that yearned to protect, even if

that part had long ceased to exist. But as long as someone remembered, they would

exist.

True disappearance occurred when one was forgotten and no longer missed or needed.

Noah’s voice sounded muffled as if he were speaking to her and to himself simultaneously.” Chloe,

we’re the same kind of people.”

‘People like us should be together.’

Chloe could not hear clearly and reached to clean her ears. “What did you say?”

“It’s nothing,” he replied with a gentle demeanor, smiling to reveal his playful charm. “To

repay you for the hefty sum of a thousand bucks, I’ll treat you to a meal tomorrow. You can choose the

venue.”

“That’s not necessary. I have something to attend tomorrow.”

“What is it?”

“I’ll be attending a forum with Joseph.”

Noah raised his eyebrows slightly as he casually responded, “Okay, we’ll discuss it another time then.”

“We’ll see when the time comes.”

Chloe did not think much of it and brushed it off as a casual remark.

The next day arrived, and Chloe and Joseph attended the forum.

Aware of the presence of numerous influential figures at the event, Chloe paid meticulous. attention to

her appearance before setting out. She diligently applied a face mask to achieve a flawless

complexion, carefully applied her face with makeup, delicately curled her hair into elegant waves, and

adorned herself with a subtle touch of perfume. She spared no effort in ensuring that every aspect of

her appearance was perfect, leaving no detail overlooked.

She wore a fitted red dress that accentuated her figure and had cascading curls that reached her waist.

She looked stunning, not in an ostentatious way, but rather exuding a captivating aura. As soon as she

entered the venue, she caught the attention of everyone present.

Joseph’s brows furrowed as he cast a disdainful glance at the men who dared to eye Chloe with

covetous intent. His commanding presence alone was enough to make them avert their gazes,

choosing instead to steal furtive glances at her.

Meanwhile, Xavia, seated in the business car, wore an unpleasant expression upon witnessing this

scene. She had no idea that Joseph was bringing Chloe with him, and she wondered how she was

going to make her move now.

Scott followed her line of sight and his eyes brightened. “Ah, she’s absolutely captivating.”

Xavia curled her lips mockingly. “She’s the one who snatched Joe from me.”

“Well, I can understand why he would choose her over you.”

“You’re attracted to someone like her as well?”
