Chapter 697 Why? Did Someone Make You Do This?
Xavia's face was pale as she stared at the white wreath in front of her. Through the corner of her eyes, she caught sight of a fruit knife on the table in the backstage resting room. Suddenly, she was overwhelmed by the feeling of tearing Noah and Chloe to pieces.
Her manager did not notice the changes in her demeanor. He nervously pointed at Noah and stammered, "M-Mr. Noah, we never slighted you in any way. Why are you treating us this way? Did someone make you do this?"
Before Noah could respond, Chloe walked up to the stage and sneered. "We're just telling the truth. I have the right to let her fans know the truth, don't I?"
"Oh my gosh. Is all that real?"
"I can't believe I thought Vee was a faithful woman. Joseph must've discovered her true nature a long time ago."
"That short-haired woman’s Chloe. She's Joseph’s ex-wife, right? She did Vee one dirty. Today is supposed to be Vee's concert, but she presented Vee with a wreath. How wicked."
Stop calling her Vee. It's sickening. She's a whore. Those wealthy businessmen must be laughing at us for treating her like a treasure."
When these discussions reached Xavia's ears, her blood turned cold. She never expected Chloe to expose her past so publically. How would she continue on in the musical world after such a revelation? The image she had painstakingly maintained for years had been shattered in an instant.
Her manager was no better off. He did not want to face Noah head-on, so he aimed his anger toward Chloe and said, "Aren’t private matters better discussed in private? You deliberately picked a
large public occasion and caused immense psychological harm to Xavia. I advise you to clarify this matter immediately or we'll see you in court!"
"Sure, let's see each other in court then," Chloe replied nonchalantly.
The manager was infuriated. He called for security once again, hoping to end this farce. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Xavia remained frozen in place. Her blood boiled as immense embarrassment engulfed her. She was on the verge of exploding as she stared daggers at Chloe.
"Who are you to criticize me? Do you think you've won just because you managed to find a few photoshopped pictures? I don't even know those people in the pictures. I've seen these sorts of tricks many times. And why are you trying to involve my child in this? Do you think you can get back to Joe through Jas? You’re so naive! Jas my son!"
Listening to Xavia's string of accusations, Chloe chuckled. "You're right. I am naive, but I think you’re even more so. Naive enough to keep lying when the evidence is right before your eyes. Do you want me to show everyone the video?"
Anyone with a sane mind would be able to guess the nature of the video. At this point, everyone knew that Chloe was right. In comparison, Xavia's defense appeared utterly unconvincing.
The manager was dumbstruck. The photos had already caused quite a ruckus. If Chloe released a video too, the situation would escalate beyond control. He could not handle it anymore and dragged Xavia away with him. Noah looked at Chloe, but she shook her head to indicate that there was no need to stop them.
As Xavia walked past Chloe, the latter smiled brightly and flipped her the finger. Filled with rage, Xavia struggled to catch her breath and collapsed on the stage. The chaotic event concluded with her being taken away in an ambulance.
Once Noah was done, Desmond found out about their shenanigans and called him to inquire about the situation. Chloe swiftly snatched the phone and used her charms to deceive him, and successfully got away with it.
Noah sighed helplessly, "Someone must’ve told Grandpa. There’s no way he could have found out so quickly."
Just as Chloe was about to say something, her phone started ringing. She assumed it was Desmond, but to her surprise, it was from a certain scumbag ex-boyfriend.
