Chapter 375 The Perfect Couple
A mature and charismatic voice reached her ears. “Speak.”
“Sir, can we get rid of Chloe? With her around, it’s challenging for me to win Joseph’s heart.”
The man burst into hearty laughter. “Is that so? Five years ago, you still failed to conquer him even
though Chloe wasn’t around at that time.”
“Sir… This time, I’ll give my utmost effort. Joseph values the child I carry.”
“I hope you won’t disappoint me.”
“Thank you, sir!”
Moonlight bathed the night as sleep finally came to Chloe.
That night, she had a haunting nightmare. In it, the worker who had tragically passed away lunged at
her with gnashing teeth and sharp claws as she sobbed and begged for forgiveness. However, the
worker paid no heed, driven by an insatiable desire to tear her apart and drink her blood.
At a critical moment, a man emerged and rescued her from the dire predicament. Together, they fled,

cursed her foolishness. He bent down and allowed her to climb upon his back.
Chloe complied, finding solace in the man’s broad and sturdy back. She tried to look at the man’s face,
but his face was shrouded in darkness. They continued forward for a long time until the man suddenly
set her down and said, “I have to go home now. I can’t accompany you any longer.”
Chloe asked, “Can I go with you?”
“No, you can’t.”
The words were not spoken by the man but came from Xavia, who had suddenly appeared nearby.
Chloe was taken aback and turned her gaze to the man beside her, only to realize that it was Joseph
all along.
She watched helplessly as Joseph and Xavia walked away together. She did not know how, but she
could see their affectionate interactions even after they returned home. They looked like the perfect
couple, and the scenes played before her eyes frame by frame.
Beep, beep, beep…
The sound of an alarm clock filled the air as Chloe groggily opened her eyes, gazing at the ceiling.

The dream had been too vivid, leaving her disoriented upon waking up. She cursed under her breath to
express her frustration. People often say that dreams reflect the thoughts and experiences one had
during the day, and it seemed like the statement was true.
She got out of bed and just as she was preparing to head, Samuel called to inform her about attending
the worker’s funeral today. She was advised to keep a low profile and avoid being caught by sneaky
reporters, for they would surely accuse her of putting on an act.
It was already nine in the morning.
Chloe dressed in black and arrived at the funeral. At the scene, she noticed a young man wearing a
black shirt as well. Their gazes met, and Noah also appeared surprised.
“Why are you here? Do you know this family?” Chloe spoke cautiously and guiltily.

“I don’t know, but this incident is known to netizens nationwide, so I had to come.”
She regretfully smacked her forehead as she realized Exotic Star had also been affected by this
incident because of her.
“I’m sorry. How about we terminate the contract? I’ll return the endorsement fee.”
“If I do that, wouldn’t it be adding insult to injury for you?”
“Everyone’s having a hard time. I can’t ruin Exotic Star’s reputation, can I?”
Under the sunlight, the young man had a face as delicate as a gem, with half of it shaded and the other
half shining brightly. His brows and eyes sparkled, exuding a vibrant and energetic aura.
“I believe in you. You’re a victim too. If there are any difficulties, let’s face them together. Don’t give up
on everything you have now without a fight.”
Chloe’s eyes stung with bitter tears. “Do you really believe in me?”
“Yes, I do,” he said shyly, “I’ve already talked to the deceased’s family this morning. Exotic Star will
provide them with enough money for the next fifty years. Even if her child doesn’t get into college or
struggles to find a decent job in the future, they can come to Exotic Star, and I’ll make arrangements for
them. On top of that, police investigations have come to the conclusion that the primary responsibility
for the worker’s death lies with Aaron. An official announcement will be made this afternoon.”
