Chapter 21
A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased by Her EX-Husband
Chapter 21 âHa... ha... Mr, Mr. Sawle... I canât take it anymore!â
The hotel was already high and there were many steps. When he reached the eighth floor, Max was already panting and his legs were trembling. He was about to kneel down.
âA man canât say no at all. There are only two floors left. Hurry up.â Joseph urged as he climbed up without a change in expression.
He was thirty years old this year, two years older than Max, but because he was a soldier in the peacekeeping army in his early years, and after retiring, he had high selfâdiscipline exercise to practice boxing, so his physical fitness was far higher than ordinary people.
So what if he climbed another twenty floors? In the past, he ran in the army overnight and jumped thirty laps!
Finally reaching the 40th floor, Max sat on the steps and breathed. heavily. Joseph looked at him coldly and shook his head angrily.
âMr. Sawle, itâs a pleasure to meet you.â
Hearing this, Joseph turned around and saw a man with a smile on his face walking over. He was handsome and had clear eyes.
He was the little puppy that women often talked about. It was hard to tell his age.
âMy name is Jordan. I am President Thorpâs secretary. President Thorp has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come with me.â
Listen! Was he tired of his crawling too slow?
Joseph was so angry that he could not relieve himself. His face darkened a little. âMy legs are not as fast as the elevator.
President Thorp, please forgive me.â
Jordan didnât say anything. He just turned around and walked forward.
He was very rude.
âHiss... What attitude!â
Max recovered. At this moment, he couldnât bear it anymore and rushed up to get angry, but he was stopped by Joseph.
âWait for me here.â
Joseph followed Jordan to the general managerâs office.
13:03 A BillionâRich Woman Was Chased by He took a deep breath.
For some reason, he, who was used to seeing the big scene, became nervous when facing President Thorp who was about to reveal her true face.
After knocking on the door, a womanâs voice came.
âCome in.â
Jordan opened the door and made a âpleaseâ gesture.
Josephâs throat moved slightly, his back stiff and straight, and his long legs leisurely stepped into the office.
At this moment, in the room next to him.
Chloe was watching this scene with great interest as she ate chocolate on the computer screen.
A young woman sat behind a table as smooth as the lake. She was dressed exquisitely, her long hair draped over her shoulders, and she looked delicate.
Was she the Chloe who made things difficult for him? Joseph could not help but feel a little disappointed.
The Chloe in his imagination was not like this; she lacked the regal aura of a thousand gold coins and the vitality of a manager.
âIs Mr. Sawle tired? Please sit down.â
Chloe used her Bluetooth headset to send out instructions. Her âpuppetâ followed the instructions, but her expression was not as calm as Chloe, and her expression was a little stiff.
Joseph sat on the sofa and looked around casually.
The office was decorated elegantly, with a black piano placed in a corner. The natural marble coffee table had a fashionable design, and the retroleather sofa was dignified and imposing.
But what attracted him the most was a piece of calligraphy hanging behind Chloe â
[A gentlemanâs hidden device, waiting to move.]
âGood handwriting.â Joseph couldnât help but sigh.
Chloeâs lips that were chewing the chocolate froze, and her heart trembled.
In her impression, this was the first time that Joseph had praised her.
A BillionâRich Woman Was Chased by Her ExâHusband She had been his wife for three years, taking care of his food and daily life. No matter how much she tried, she could not get any appreciation from this man.
She did not expect to hear it this time.
Unfortunately, she did not care.
âMr. Sawle likes this word?â Chloe asked simperingly.
âNot bad.â Joseph even praised people like gold.
âIf you like it, take it with you when you leave. Take it as a greeting gift for Mr. Sawle.â
âThereâs no need for that. This writing is very vigorous and majestic. Itâs obvious that it came from the hands of a great master, so I wonât snatch it from you.â Joseph refused indifferently.
âHahaha...â Chloe laughed out loud, and the puppet could only laugh along.
Joseph frowned.
âI accept Mr. Sawleâs praise, but you donât have to be embarrassed. I can write hundreds of such words in a day, so there is no harm in taking it.â
There was mockery in Chloeâs smile. Josephâs face froze, and he clenched. his fists.
âIt was not easy for Mr. Sawle to meet me three times. You must not be here just to see calligraphy and painting. Letâs speak frankly.â Chloe was not in the mood to deal with him and said directly.
âTo tell you the truth, I am here for the matter of Brown Group. I hope that President Thorp can stop suppressing Brown Group.
We can talk about the conditions.â
âAfter all, in Medo, President Thorp will definitely benefit a lot in the future if you cooperate with us, Sawle Group.â Joseph said in a low voice and his eyes were full of oppression.
âMr. Sawle calls my way of doing things suppression?â
Chloe laughed out loud, âI think itâs a righteous report. It exposes the vile acts of the mercenary and blackâhearted merchants.
Call the police sirens for our peers so that no one will follow in the footsteps of our hotel and buy junk complaints.â
âItâs hard to say whether there will be problems during the production of products. Many centuryâold car brands still have cases of being recalled 13.03 A BillionâRich Woman Was Chased by Her ExâHusband because of various problems.â
âPresident Thorp can contact the manufacturerto return the products or change them. There is no need to spread the news to discredit Brown Groupâs image.â
âUsing Thorp Groupâs power to destroy a mediumâsized company, so ruthless, at least in the future, no one will dare to cooperate with Thorp Group.â
Chloe narrowed her almondâshaped eyes coldly and crushed the chocolate in her hand.
The meaning behind Josephâs words was to tell her that if she did not let Brown Group go, then in the future, Sawle Group would make trouble for Thorp Groupâs development in Medo.
Dog man! He actually dared to threaten her. Did he think that she, Chloe, was scared?
Mr. Sawle wholeheartedly protects his lover and is busy running around for his fiancee. It really makes me touched.
âBut one thing is certain: business and personal matters must not be intertwined. Mr. Sawle can stoop to visit me repeatedly, even if it means I have to close the door behind you, you still endure it with gritted teeth.â
âBut I canât be lenient for your great love, even if you are the Joseph who covers the sky with only one hand of Medo.â
There was anger in Josephâs eyes, but Chloeâs words made him unable to refute.
He would never personally clean up this mess. What he was doing now was indeed for Grace.
Chloe looked at the man on the screen who was as stiff as a cast and as cold as ice. She was secretly pleased.
âSince things have come to this, it seems that we have nothing to talk about. I know President Thorpâs attitude today. We will meet in the business field in the future. If there is any offense, please forgive me.â
Joseph landed on the ground and stood up. Even if his face was covered with dust, this manâs deepârooted arrogance did not allow him to reveal any loneliness of defeat. His back was still as straight as a pine, and he was the backbone of a soldier.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
A BillionâRich Woman Was Chased by Her ExâHusband âPresident Thorp, I was wrong! I was wrong for a moment! Please... please give me a way out! If this matter were to spread out, I would not be able to establish myself in the entire Medo!â
âBack then, it was Ailey who took the initiative to find me and said that they would give me a way to make a fortune! The ideas were all given by Boss Brown! I thought that the bed cushions were all the same, so I did not think too much about it and fell for him!â
Joseph looked back in shock, his mind exploding like a bomb, his eardrums ringing!
After playing the recording, Chloe gracefully raised her beautiful legs, watching the manâs face turn from white to red and then white, as if he was a dye workshop.
It was really relaxing.
âIf it is an excellent mediumâsized enterprise, my Thorp Group are willing to help them develop, but if it is a black sheep that has affected my interests, then I am willing to be a dragon slayer warrior and kill the evil dragon. I will not tolerate it.â
âI will remember Mr. Sawleâs words. There will be plenty of time in the future. See you in the business field.â Chloe smiled arrogantly.
Joseph somehow walked out of the office and felt that every nerve was shaking. The coldness around him was like being in an icehouse.
âMr. Sawle! How is it? Did Chloe make things difficult for you? Did she agree to your request? Mr. Sawle?â Max hurriedly came up to him and asked. He felt that his face was extremely bad.
âItâs nothing. Letâs go back and talk.â
Joseph walked forward with heavy steps. His head began to hurt again, but it did not affect him from recalling Chloeâs words.
When the recording was played, he felt like a joke.
He had originally thought that Brown Group was innocent because they had released the news of the marriage which had caused Thorp Group to indirectly suppress Sawle Group.
In the end, he actually did not distinguish right from wrong and assisted the tyrant!
Joseph forcefully loosened the knot in his heart, but his breathing was. not at all carefree because of this.
Suddenly, he heard the familiar footsteps of high heels behind him.
Da... sharp and steady, elegant and straightforward.
It was Raya!
Josephâs heart tightened and he turned around.
There was no one in the corridor.
