Chapter 109

Chapter 109 Contract marriage?

Stefan’s eyes turned black. He was so angry that he really wanted to go up and play with Joseph!

But what he could not understand was his daughter.

He thought that it was already an exaggeration for her to go to the battlefield to save the injured and the dead at the risk of being blown to pieces.

Unexpectedly, after disappearing for three years, she even married him behind his back! The marriage partner was the son of his sworn enemy! Moreover, it was a contractual marriagel At this moment, Stefan really wanted to dig out her brain and see what she was thinking!

Joseph’s eyes bulged, and his chest felt like it was pressed against an iron plate, unable to breathe.

Now that things had come to this, she was going to completely leave him. The three years of bonding had disappeared with the end of his grandfather’s birthday banquet, which was not going to be satisfactory.

However, he didn’t want to be a muddle-headed couple with her. He wanted an explanation.

“If I remember correctly, three years ago was the first time we met. When grandpa asked you to marry me, why didn’t you refuse? Why?”

Chloe’s eyes narrowed into two lines, like a cat’s eye in the sun, and she looked at him so heartlessly. “We’re already away, why are you still holding on to this insignificant thing?”

“Just treat it as if I were blind three years ago and wanted to find a man to experience marriage life. Coincidentally, grandpa gave me a chance.”

Chloe!”

“I only want an answer. I want to hear the truth from you!” Joseph said with a hoarse voice and red eyes.

“Mr. Sawle, the past is dark and the road ahead is bright. Let’s forget about the past. Let’s look forward “If we meet in the business arena in the future, inaybe we will be opponents. I won’t show you any mercy. I also hope that you won’t... take into account our past relationship. Instead, I hope that you use your strength to compete with me.”

She wanted to say, “Think of our old flames”, but on second thought, she realized that he had never loved her, so how could there be any old flames?

Joseph felt as if a piece of his chest had been dug out, and he breathed deeply, but he could not hold her hand.

It was as if they would never meet again after holding hands like this.

Chloe shrugged and got into the car disapprovingly.

Just as the engine sounded and the luxury car was about to start, she lowered the window and raised her bright face to look at Joseph.

Joseph’s heart jumped violently, but her next words made him stiff.

“Mr. Sawle, see you at the Civil Affairs Bureau at nine o’clock tomorrow morning.”

The luxury car drove away from Joseph in an orderly manner, and the wheels seemed to roll over his heart.

Behind him, Rory secretly wiped away his tears, but Jake’s expression was complicated, and his eyes were obsetire. “What? You divorced her, yet now you think of Miss Thorp? Do you regret it?” Rory gave him a cynical glance.

“Dad, L. Jake said.

“Joseph’s approach to things is so distinctive that I can tell he’s your son without a paternity test! He’s using pearls for fish eyes, disregarding jade as if it’s something to be ashamed of- he’s as blind as a bat! Humph!”

Jake’s face was full of frustration. He gritted his teeth and did not dare to make a sound.

He really never dreamed that this village girl who came from a nursing background had not shown her true identity for three years. Who would have thought that as soon as they divorced, she would become the most beloved daughter of the richest man in Sea Gate!

Although they, Sawle Group, were also Medo’s famous and powerful family, if the news of the marriage with Thorp Group spread out, the share price would increase by countless times!

But now, everything was in vain.

The night was as dark as ink. Chloe sat in the car and looked out of the window. Her eyes were lost and her heart was cold.

1/2 Chapter 109 She repeatedly recalled the look in Joseph’s eyes when he married her. It was mottled and broken, occupied by depression and unwillingness as if she had abandoned him.

Chloe clenched her ten fingers and shook her head forcefully.

She could not sympathize with men. Sympathy for men was the beginning of a tragedy.

It was impossible for Joseph to fall in love with her.

“So, why do you want to marry him?” Stefan gritted his teeth as he looked at his daughter, his fists cracking.

“Alright, Stefan. Don’t get to the bottom of it. It’s all in the past.” Chloe rolled her eyes in frustration.

“Go over my ass!”

Stefan shouted loudly, scaring both the driver and the deputy driver. “My most precious daughter has been quietly married to that brat from the Sawle family for three years and is even divorced now! If your father doesn’t come to Old Master Sawle’s birthday banquet, are you going to hide it from your father for the rest of your life?”

“So why are you here? Did Director Sawle send you an invitation?” Chloe looked around and asked him.

“Don’t change the topic!”

“Oh... Because he’s handsome,” Chloe said as she pressed her slender fingers against her lower lip.

“Handsome! Which one of my sons isn’t as handsome as Joseph “But none of your sons can marry me.”

Stefan choked on his food and continued to say angrily, “What’s the betrothal gift? What about the jewelry? What’s the share?

The mansion? The luxury car? How much for all of it?”

“Why haven’t I seen the media report that Sawle Group married the president’s wife? With Jake’s style, marrying such a rich daughter-in-law like you, won’t he just jump into the sky and release the cannons on the streets?”

“Stefan, have you forgotten that during the three years I was married to Joseph, I used a false identity? They had no idea that I was your daughter.”

Chloe was initially a bit let down, but after hearing her father’s words, she almost burst out laughing. “I’m also someone who doesn’t like to be showy, so the wedding with him... everything was kept simple.”

Stefan remembered that Sawle family was openly and secretly taking advantage of her. He was so angry that he wished he could bankrupt Sawle Group tomorrow and let Sawle family’s people drink the northwest wind!

“Chloe, are you crazy or are you possessed by someone? This is not the style of my daughter!” The old father still had a look of disbelief and astonishment.

She was not crazy or stupid. She just loved Joseph too much and wanted to marry him too much.

Chloe smiled bitterly and grabbed Stefan’s cold hand, gently covering it.

“In the past three years. Joseph has been good to me. He has never mistreated me or bullied me. We are good friends even if we have divorced. Dad, don’t worry about me. Look, isn’t your Chloe back?”

“What else can I do?”

Stefan was angry and distressed. His handsome and tough face suddenly aged several years. “Forget it! Anyway, you married with a fake identity. Joseph’s ex-wife is that unlucky Raya, not my Chloel”

My Chloe is still the Gaoling’s Flower that no one else can pick!

“You think so!” Chloe hugged her father and leaned on his shoulder.
