Chapter 798 The Mystery Man
Chloe clenched her fists and stayed calm. "The guy calleda few times before, so | remember the number."
Noah took his gaze off Chloe and turned the steering wheel. "That number doesn't seem like a sales call. Maybe
someone has an urgent matter. Why don't you call back to check?"
"That's fine. If it's important, they'll call again."
As soon as she finished speaking, her phone started ringing again, causing a chill to run down her spine. She
would surely be busted if she answered Cyrus' call in front of Noah, but what excuse could she use to reject the
call?
The vibrating of the phone felt like the music of death—relentless and continuous.
Noah stepped on the brakes, bringing the car to a stop by the roadside. He looked at Chloe and said, "Go ahead
and pick it up. It might be something urgent."
At this point, Chloe had no choice but to answer. She reluctantly retrieved her phone from her bag, hoping it
would stop ringing. Alas, her wish was not granted. As she held the phone, it continued to buzz.

She looked at the screen and found it was the snumber. Under Noah's watchful gaze, she reluctantly
answered the call. She took the initiative and coldly asked, "Hello, who's this?"
There was a pause on the other end, followed by barely audible breathing. A chill ran down Chloe's spine. She
knew that Cyrus was doing this on purpose. He was like a predator lurking in the dark, testing his prey's limit.
Noah leaned into Chloe, and in this confined space, he could hear everything the person on the other side of the
line said. Chloe froze as her mind raced. The next second, the voice on the other
end said, "Hi, I'm Lauda from Riverside Homes. Would you be interested in buying a property here?"
When the sweet and charming voice reached Chloe's ear, she froze. She pulled her phone away from her ear and
rechecked the number on the screen. It was Cyrus' number.
Seeing how distracted she looked, Noah took her phone and asked, "Where is Riverside located?"
"The Chandile district. If you'd like to cand take a look, | can drive over and pick you up."
"That's not necessary. I'll head there when I'm available."
"All right then, thank you for your time."
As the call ended, Chloe put on a smile as she put her phone away. "See? | told you it was that annoying real
estate agent."
Noah restarted the car and said languidly, "Chandile is pretty close to Exotic Star. After we get married, we do
need a place to call our own. Getting a place there wouldn't be a bad idea."
Chloe was stunned for a moment before she replied, "Okay."
When they got back to the Sullivan manor, Chloe went to her bedroom. While Noah was talking to Desmond
downstairs, she called Cyrus back.
"I'm sorry. Seems like | called at a bad tearlier." Cyrus chuckled politely.
Gritting her teeth, Chloe said, "I know you did it on purpose. Are you watchingfrom somewhere?" She did not
believe in coincidences. That call was meant to assert his dominance, implying she had better get her act
together.
"I wasn't watching per se, but | did happen to see you and Joseph meeting privately," he replied.
"I've made up my mind. I'm not going to work with you."
"Wow..." Cyrus whistled. "You're going to sacrifice your own child for your love? Impressive."

"It's none of your business. Nobody gets to tellwhat | have to do," Chloe said angrily and hung up the call.
Duskfall was the source of her suffering, so how dare he mocked her?
Fortunately, Cyrus stopped calling her.
Soon, the day of the press conference arrived. Reporters and journalists from well-known magazines and various
media outlets gathered outside Exotic Star. They all carried with them their cameras and equipment and
engaged in lively discussions.
"Do you know what they're going to announce today?"
"Not sure, but according to my insider, Desmond's going to formally introduce someone today."
"Is it his heir? Wait, that's not right. Noah is his heir, and Desmond never had any children."
"We'll find out soon. It's about to start."
Fifteen minutes later, before Desmond could lead Chloe onto the stage, a mysterious person sneaked into the
scene and whispered something to one of the reporters.
The reporter widened his eyes in shock. "Are you sure?"
Grinning from ear to ear, the mystery man said confidently, "I'm telling the truth. Chloe is the royal family's
illegitimate child."
