Chapter 249
A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased by Her EX-Husband
Chapter 249 As long as Chloe appeared, Sawle family would definitely cause chaos and end up breaking up in a bad mood.
Chloe had no feelings for him, and there was no need for her to explain anything to Rory; the clarity of the situation was evident.
Moreover, she had already understood Johanâs way of handling things from Stefan and Helena. Since he was able to fish Skyler out of the police station, it meant that he had already dealt with the hidden dangers. Even if she knew that he had threatened justin to become the scapegoat, the police would not be able to turn the case over for the time being.
How polite Johanâs smile was, how sinister he was.
And Rory did not have any intention of making things difficult for her. After all, he trusted this girl. He had seen her gold like sincerity.
If even Raya could not be trusted, then in this world, who else could he trust?
Chloe personally pushed the wheelchair to send Rory back to his room.
Joseph always followed closely behind her, sticking close to her tightly.
She was so annoyed in her heart!
But Grandpa was very content tonight. Gazing at the âyoung coupleâ around him, he had a pleased smile on his face, showing two rows of teeth. His mood was exceptionally good, as if he had gone back to springtime.
It was not just love that could raise people, but it was also very comforting to see the CP that she supported together!
âGrandpa, Iâm sorry. Recently, I was too busy and did not have time to visit you. You must be angry with me, right?â Chloe could not hide the guilt in her expression.
âSilly child, what are you saying? If you remember grandpa, grandpa will be very satisfied!â
Rory clenched her warm little hand and glanced at Joseph meaningfully. âYou are so young, you should go out to play more and interact more with outstanding men.â
âWhat Brother Anderson? Young Master Xavier... I heard that they are quite familiar with you. How about it? Do you have a little guy you like? If you have one, you must bring it to grandpa. Grandpa will help you check it!â
Josephâs eyebrows twitched fiercely, and his chest felt like it had been smashed by Old Master. It was really stuffy and painful!
This old man was sitting on the wheel chair and still wanted to be the matchmaker!
Wasnât he afraid that his precious Raya would pull out a crowned beast!
The manâs eyes were red, and his breathing was obviously more impatient.
âGrandfather, how... did you know about Jerome and Fourth Young Master Xavier?â Chloe could not help but be surprised.
âHey, grandfather is a crouching dragon. He knows everything about the world without leaving his house.â Rory also boasted.
âYes, Fourth Young Master Xavier and I have known each other since we were young.â
âChildhood sweethearts?â Roryâs heart skipped a beat.
âEr... Haha, this can be considered the relationship between a big sister and a little brother. He was weak when he was a child, and he had to rely on me to protect him! Hmph hmph!â Chloe raised her delicate chin slightly, and with one hand on her waist, she laughed in a lively manner.
It was as if this twenty-four year old girl in front of him was still the same as when she was ten years old, bright, lively, and cute.
Joseph focused on her fluttering eyes, and suddenly his gaze became absent-minded, and he felt a sharp pain in his mind!
He was afraid that Chloe and his grandfather would see him, so he quickly turned around and raised his hand to press down on his throbbing temple, causing cold sweat to burst out on his back.
Her smile gradually merged with the little face of the girl in the depths of his memory.
He always felt that he had seen Chloe a long, long time ago.
But why, he couldnât remember anything...
âIs that so... Why hasnât grandpa ever heard you mention that you have such a good relationship with Xavier family before?â
Rory was actually not a person who liked to gossip, but he paid more attention to the future of his CP.
âLater, Fourth Young Master Xavier followed his mother to settle down in Stoeyae and cut off contact with me. A while ago, he coincidentally met me and we had a new relationship.â Chloe felt that she was very magnanimous with Jerome and did not hide anything from her grandfather.
âAh... Last time, I heard that in the charity auction you prepared, Fourth Young Master Xavier donated a sky-high collectible necklace in order to help you build up power. It can be seen that he is very attentive to you.â Rory continued to probe.
Chloe smiled faintly, âFourth Young Master Xavier probably thought of the friendship I helped him when he was young. In order to thank me, he helped me.â
âSigh, from the looks of it, this youngest son of Director Xavier knows how to repay kindness. He is a person with a temperament.â
As he spoke, Rory looked at Joseph with extreme disgust. The more he looked at her, the more annoyed he became. âHmph, itâs much better than my cold, hard coffin lid!â
Old Master was not speaking up for outsiders. He just hated that iron was not steel, so when he had the chance, he wanted to anger him and provoke him so that he could work harder.
âGrandpa, donât have any complaints about him because I divorced Mr. Sawle. I have told you very clearly from the beginning that we divorced peacefully. I have no resentment towards Mr. Sawle.â
Chloe looked back, her eyes which were as calm as dead water made Joseph worried. âMr. Sawle is not like you said, he is a person with a cold face and a cold heart.â
He had always known how to reciprocate kindness, how to be aloof, how to be affectionate, and how to lavish attention on others.
In an instant, Joseph felt a sharp pain in his heart. His throat was filled with guilt, and his stiff shoulders trembled slightly.
He knew how to repay kindness, and he knew how to be cold and warm.
However, he paid the wrong amount of affection and smashed through the southern wall. He was bleeding from head to toe, but he found that he was stupid.
Was he really inferior to Jerome?
In Chloeâs eyes, he was really inferior to Jerome.
Chloe gave Rory a few more instructions in terms of health and left the room.
Just as she stepped out of the door, Joseph hurriedly chased after her.
âIâll send you off.â The manâs words were simple.
Chloe couldnât flare up in front of her grandfather. At this moment, she finally exploded. She suddenly turned around and pointed at his face.
She shouted, âFreeze!â
Joseph frowned.
Chloe pursed her red lips and felt a little embarrassed. She originally wanted to say âdonâtâ, but in the end, she smacked her lips and said âfreezeâ.
Forget it, it was the same meaning anyway!
âI donât need you to send me. Iâm in my twenties. Itâs not like I donât know the way home!â
âItâs too late. Iâll send you off.â Joseph did not give up and took a step forward.
Chloe remembered that she had been hugged by this man tonight. She gritted her teeth and raised her hand to pat her shoulder.
She brushed off the dirty things that she could not see. âJoseph, I was not angry just now. Itâs not that I want to do anything to you. Itâs just because Grandpa is here. Donât push your luck.â
I am already angry because of the matter between Johan and Skyler. I want to slap any passing dog. If you dare to come over again, do you believe that I will slap you?
Chloe thought that her words were very powerful and domineering, and they were very intimidating.
But when Joseph heard this, he only cur led his thin lips and wanted to laugh.
Johan is unhappy with you again. Tell me, I will help you deal with him,â he said softly.
âAh, no need! You, an outsider, donât need to, interfere in the matter between Stewart family and us, Thorp family. Take care of yourself!â
Chloe recalled that tonight, in order to protect her, Joseph had embarrassed Johan in front of Sawle family, and a trace of obscure emotions arose in her heart.
But on second thought, the cur was probably more concerned about his own interests.
After all, she could see that Jake wanted Johan to enter Sawle Group. Once Johan really became Sawle Groupâs legal consultant, it would be equivalent to having another fierce general under Jake, and the situation would be unfavorable to the cur.
At this point, Chloe could only laugh coldly.
Just as Joseph strode forward and wanted to get closer to him again, a deep and stern voice came from behind him.
Joseph!â
Josephâs brows suddenly furrowed. He turned around and saw Jake quickly approaching him.
âCome to the study. I have something to say.â
âI will see you later. Now I want to send Miss Thorp back.â Joseph responded coldly and did not give in.
âHeh... Does she need you? Miss Thorp has left long ago!â
Joseph was stunned and turned around.
The little girl who moved like a rabbit had already disappeared without a trace.
Chloe walked out of Sawle familyâs villa expressionlessly.
âMiss Thorp,â
She stopped in her tracks and her eyes became even colder. She saw Johan walk in front of her simperingly.
âRegardless of whether you are convinced or not, I will still help Miss Skyler cross this tribulation. It is not shameful for you to lose to me, Johan.â
âIndeed, no matter how I think about it, I feel that I have earned a lot this time.â
Chloe was not angry. Instead, she followed his words and mocked him, âThrough this matter with Skyler, I can completely see the face of the eldest son of Stewart family. I have seen a lot of people who put down their bowls and scold the chef. Johan is really unique.â
âI just donât know that Uncle Stewart wants to know that the son he is most proud of, his biggest ambition is to wipe the butt of the tycoon and go against his former benefactor...â
âWill he feel embarrassed for Lawyer Stewart?â
Johanâs smile, which was originally fake and weak, was completely stiff. His face suddenly sank, âMiss Thorp, I let you have three points because you are Director Thorpâs daughter. You repeatedly provoke me, is not too much!â
âCan a tycoon do whatever they want?â
âYouâve reminded me. Iâm the daughter of a tycoon. Itâs my talent to do whatever I want. With such a noble identity, why donât I use it?â
Chloe narrowed her beautiful eyes dangerously, her red lips moving rapidly as if they were a blade that could slay without spilling a drop of blood. âSo in the future, before you dare to oppose me again, youâd better consider who I, Chloe, am. Who is backing me up?â
âMy temper is much worse than my fatherâs.â
After saying those harsh words, the young lady stepped on her beautiful high heels and left in a carefree manner.
Johan looked at the beautiful back of the woman and almost gnashed his teeth in hatred!
âChloe, donât treat me as my good-for-nothing younger brother. Jordan is willing to be your Thorp familyâs dog. I, Johan, am not so useless. You cannot do whatever you want!â
âThe future stretches out before us. Our fight lies ahead of us!â
