Chapter 332 Entertaining People

Joseph’s expression darkened. He tightly grasped Chloe’s wrist and forcefully pulled her into the car.

Lost in his own irritation, he paid little heed to his strength, leaving a visible red mark on her skin.

She winced, her voice carrying a tinge of pain. “Ouch! You’re hurting me!”

Upon hearing her words, he loosened his grip, but Chloe remained trapped in his firm hold, unable to

break free. Reluctantly, she resigned herself to follow him into the car, hoping to minimize any further

discomfort.

“Noah invited you, didn’t he?” Joseph coldly questioned, his brow furrowing tightly.

“Yes, what’s the problem?” Chloe replied, her voice tinged with defiance.

His gaze shifted to her face, taking note of the layers of makeup adorning her features. Mockery laced

his words as he sneered, “The guests who receive invitations to such prestigious events are worth

billions, and Noah wants an advertising spokesperson like you to grace the occasion. Are you there to

serve drinks or entertain guests? Isn’t this no different from wealthy businessmen hiring celebrities to

accompany them for their amusement?”

Chloe’s heart tightened as she immediately grasped the significance of this event. Though she also felt

unworthy, Noah had indeed extended an invitation to her. Noah did not appear to be someone who

would do something like that. He was young, kind-hearted, and gentle.

She furrowed her brows. “I have the ability to judge right from wrong, so there’s no need for you to

meddle.”

Joseph sneered, “We’ll see.”

‘If you ended up being mistreated by those influential figures later, you better not come crawling to me

for help.’

The banquet hall of the Exotic Star event was located at the border between Aesper and Docwood. It

was a private garden, to be exact, constructed by Exotic Star to cater to esteemed guests. As they

followed the ushers inside, a magnificent and luxurious building came into

view.

The building boasted three floors, with most people gathered on the first for socializing. The second

floor was reserved for dining, while the third floor served as a resting area for after

meals.

“Sir, madam, it’s warm inside. Would you like us to hold on to your coats?”

Chloe could feel the warmth inside the venue and handed her coat over to the staff.

For the event, she had adorned herself in a pale pink dress, elegantly showcasing a sheer back design

that offered glimpses of her flawless and velvety skin. The choice of such a delicate

shade of pink was often a daunting feat, but her well-toned physique and fair complexion only

enhanced her natural beauty, captivating all who cast their eyes upon her.

When Joseph’s eyes fell upon her attire, his anger was ignited. He pitched his voice low and asked,

“Who are you trying to entice this time?”

Tired of being misunderstood, she scoffed coldly, “Rest assured, it isn’t you.”

Joseph’s gaze darkened once more. Even a man with such strong self-control like himself could not

resist her provocative charm, let alone others.

Feeling a bit uneasy under his piercing eyes, Chloe spotted Noah not far away and hurriedly walked

over. ‘I better distance myself from him. Who knows when he might lose his temper again.’

Noah was in the middle of a conversation with the CEOs who were a decade or so older than him. His

manner of speaking exuded confidence and maturity, often causing people to overlook his young age.

Upon spotting Chloe, he exchanged greetings with those around him and stepped aside.

He carefully observed Chloe from head to toe with his eyes and commented, “You look young and

beautiful in this outfit.”

“Haha, thanks.”

“My grandfather wishes to meet you,” Noah said as he glanced in Joseph’s direction. “Is that

convenient right now?”

“Your grandfather?” she asked in surprise.

“Yes, the founder of Exotic Star.”

Chloe felt honored and somewhat astonished. “Of course. It’d be my honor.”

Noah led Chloe to the third floor and into a room. When Desmond caught sight of Chloe, he was

stunned. Upon seeing the endorsement photos earlier, he had already noticed a striking similarity

between Chloe and Luciana. And now in person, the feeling that this girl looked like his daughter grew

even stronger.

However, the girl standing before him possessed a strong spirit and determination that Luciana did not

have during her younger years. He could not escape blaming himself for showering Luciana with

affection but neglecting to provide her with proper guidance. She had never faced the harsh realities of

the world.

As a result, she developed a strong sense of self in matters of love. Not only did she make a private

commitment to Benjamin, but she also got hitched even though she knew he disapproved of having an

out-of-town son-in-law.

Luciana had been even willing to sever ties with Desmond, her own father, in order to marry Benjamin.

To this day, Desmond remained unaware of the true nature of his daughter’s husband. However, he

was certain that it could not be a virtuous individual. Over the years, he had

traveled far and wide, encountering many faces similar to Luciana’s. Each time, he would look into

them, only to be disappointed by the results.

Eventually, he became more accepting of whatever came his way. However, this young girl standing

before gave off this incredible sense of familiarity and comfort.
