Chapter 820 She’s Saving Herself
Blocking the doorway, Noah said as he stared at her, "Coco, please don’t provoke me. The consequences could
be severe."
"Putting sleeping pills in my water, taking my phone, lockingup, and sending my grandfather away... Who's
the one provoking whom?!"
"And do | not have reasons to do all this?" Despite his soft chuckle, Noah's teeth clenched tightly. "Do you want
disgraceful, or are you just used to it already?"
Noah and Chloe had publicly acknowledged their relationship. Even before their engagement, they were already
known as a couple. And while in that role, she maintained a questionable relationship with her ex-husband,
causing him embarrassment on multiple occasions. The first the discovered them doing such things, he

to say no? Why would she refuse to cut off contact with Joseph? Was this because she did not know how to reject
him or that she simply did not want to?
Chloe was stunned, and her nails dug into her palm. “Yes, | am everything you've just said. Are you satisfied
now?" If this could make him dislike her and cancel their wedding, so be it. She did not care about carrying an
unsavory reputation. It was not the first tfor her anyway.
Noah felt his heart being torn apart and his face fell. "Are you trying to makecall off the wedding?"
Chloe nodded. "Yes. | don’t want to get married."
"Joseph planted this thought in your mind."
This was not a question, but a statement.
Chloe did not agree with his statement. Her gaze dimmed and her expression was tinged with disappointment as
she said, "Stop bringing him up. Why don’t you take a look at yourself and realize your own flaws instead?”
As rage overwhelmed Noah's rationality, he failed to sense that something was amiss. He assumed Chloe was
just making excuses and roared, "That's enough! | will marry you, no matter if you want to or not!"
As long as she remained here, there was a chance her heart would lean toward him one day. He was determined
to keep her by his side by any means necessary, even if it meant keeping her locked up forever. Besides, he did
not believe for a second that he was inferior to Joseph. He had even considered making Joseph disappear.
If Joseph was gone, there would be no one to fight him for Chloe's affection.
"Noah, don't—"
Chloe's words were cut short as Noah slammed the door shut and left. He could not stay any longer, unable to
bear the pain. It felt like his bones were being wrenched apart, his flesh was being ripped open, and his heart
was about to bleed dry.

But what could he do? It was clear that she felt no pity for him.
Chloe stared at the tightly closed door, her eyes slowly filled with tears. Grievance surged through her, making it
hard for her to breathe. She had originally agreed to spend the rest of her life with Noah. She followed her
grandfather's advice and was willing to marry Noah and manage Exotic Star together. However, after discovering
Noah's secret and seeing his dark side, she could not pretend that nothing had happened. She could not let her
child die in vain.
Tears streamed down her face, and the thought of being confined to this small room like all those years ago
choked her. She felt like she was going to go crazy.
Chloe suddenly shot to her feet and swept the food tray off the bedside table, sending porcelain and food across
the floor. She walked barefoot across the broken glass, seemingly numb to the pain. Retrieving a lighter from her
desk drawer, she lit up the curtains with a vacant gaze.
The flames swiftly crawled up the corner of the curtain, spreading to the carpet within a matter of minutes. The
scorching heat enveloped the room, making Chloe's face flush red. She stared around the room as if she had
been transported back to that desperate evening five years ago.
The difference was that this time, she was saving herself.
