Chapter 497 Don’t Blame Joe
Chloe felt like her heart was in her throat, making her unable to articulate her emotions. She had worked hard and
earned recognition from her teacher for achieving excellent results, only to discover that Joseph had already
spoken to the teacher and secured her a high score.
She understood Joseph’s good intentions but could not shake off her unease. She felt that all her efforts had been in
vain. She had put so much heart into that proposal, yet Joseph seemed to doubt her capabilities.

Noah watched her expression closely and retrieved a brochure. He passed it to her, saying, I’ve set up an office in
Estre, which compliments your business quite well. We can collaborate if you’re interested. As for your family’s
company, we can explore a merger if you think it’s viable.”
Chloe was astounded. “You’re opening an office in Estre?”
“I like Estre, and my grandfather also wants me to gain some experience there.”

Noah scratched his head and smiled gently. Two dimples appeared on his cheek as he smiled.” Your proficiency in
Estrenian and intelligence makes me believe you can handle this and help me overcome any difficulties. Besides,
you’re an outstanding individual. And let’s not forget you’re Exotic Star’s ambassador. I see no reason why I
shouldn’t choose you.”
Chloe’s eyes welled up slightly, touched by his words. “Thank you for your kind words.”
At that moment, she felt even more distraught. ‘Even Noah has faith in my abilities and offered encouragement,
yet…’
Soon after, they arrived at the hospital. Before leaving the car, Noah handed her a bag of candies, his bright eyes
free of ulterior motives. “I hope these treats will brighten your mood.”
Chloe smiled and replied, “Thank you.”
She found her way to the nurse’s station and asked about Xavia.
“Ms. Xavia? Someone brought her here this morning. She’s in Ward 5 on the right side of the third floor. You can go
straight in.”
“All right, thank you.”
“I know that patient. The man who accompanied her was so handsome.”
“Yeah, he’s like a celebrity-no, more charismatic than a celebrity.”
The nurses’ whispers reached Chloe’s ears, causing her to clench her fists and her steps to become heavy.

tensed as if she was lost in profound contemplation.
“You’re almost three months pregnant now, right? Don’t you plan to tell Mr. Joseph?” Noah asked.
Chloe lowered her head. “I want to wait for the results of Xavia’s amniocentesis.”
He tilted his head, gazing at her profile. “What about after the results?”
“If it’s Joseph’s child, I’ll break up with him.”
“If Joseph finds out you’re pregnant, he won’t let you go so easily,” Noah said resolutely.
“I won’t let him know that I’m pregnant.”

“My office is collaborating with Mr. Hugo on a new project, and they need someone to oversee it in Estre. I can
apply to go there.”
As for the Johnson Group, she would do something about it. A few short months would not be a problem for remote
management, especially considering the office had recently taken on. very few external projects.
“A new project with Mr. Hugo?” Noah asked in surprise, “Are you talking about Arcane Grove Ventures?”
“Yes. You know about it too?”
“Yes, Joseph has joined that project too. Even if you go abroad, it might be difficult to avoid interaction,” Noah
remarked.
Chloe’s eyes widened slightly, her thoughts becoming jumbled. “Joseph is a part of it, too?”
“You didn’t know?” Understanding dawned upon Noah as he continued hesitantly, “Nathan and Joseph are friends.
Did Joseph inform his father, and that’s how you got involved?
“Of course, I don’t doubt your abilities, but your office’s line of business doesn’t align with real estate development,
so it’s not on par with the Reese Group’s MO.”
