Chapter 48

Chapter 48 After returning from the charity auction, Chloe locked herself in her room and did not come out. It was a rare low pressure.

At night, Oscar and Riley came to the villa to visit their sister. Although Chloe went downstairs to see them, she was very tired and had no spirit at all.

“Chloe, I heard what happened at the auction from Second Madame.”

Oscar hurried forward and gently held his sister’s hand that was wrapped in gauze. His heart ached and he caressed it over and over again. “How are your injuries? Did Jordan take care of you to change your medicine? Is it still painful? Is it infected?”

“I have learned medicine myself. I can handle it myself. He has been worried about enough. I don’t want to trouble him with such a small matter.” Chloe retracted her hand and muffled her voice.

“Jordan is getting more and more unreliable! If not for the fact that we met Second Madame when we went home that day and told us about how you were bullied by Sawle family at the auction, we would still be kept in the dark!”

Riley was so angry that his red eyes were about to crack. “Tomorrow, I will send a police notice to Sawle family. Big Brother, contact the KS legal team and officially sue those old witches in the name of destroying others! Let them burn their holes!”

“F*ck... If I don’t teach them a lesson, they won’t know their places!”

“Forget it, it’s boring.”

Chloe weakly leaned into her big brother’s broad arms and said in a soft voice, “Do only we, Thorp family, have any legal affairs?

Sawle Group doesn’t? If we make a big fuss, it will spread to Stefan’s ears. It’s not worth it.”

In the end, she was afraid that her father would know about her and Joseph.

Stefan couldn’t break her legs, but he would probably be angry and have high blood pressure. No matter how tough the old man looked, he was already one year old. She didn’t want her father to worry about this rotten matter for her.

But this didn’t mean that she would let Grace go just like that.

A Billion–Rich Woman Was Chased by Her Ex–Husband Chloe looked at the wound on her hand and remembered that she had repaired the jade bracelet that she hadn’t repaired for two whole days. Her eyes turned red again.

“I heard that you were injured. Your third brother was anxious to death. Now he is thinking of a way to come back from the army.

Fourth brother is already on the way back, and he will be home soon.” Oscar wrapped his sister in his arms and gently stroked her black hair.

“I just scratched my hand! How can I disturb Third Brother and Fourth Brother! They are in a high position and have a heavy responsibility on their shoulders. How can they delay the big matter for a small matter like me?”

Chloe was so anxious that her cheeks were flushed. She quickly took out her phone and sent a voice message to Security Bureau in the group chat.

“Whoever dares to come back at this time, I will ignore him for a year!”

Third Brother: Chloe, I have already asked the Bureau Chief for instructions...

“I don’t care! Whoever comes back will have no sister. It’s up to you!”

However, Fourth Brother had always been quiet.

“I guess you can’t stop Fourth Brother. He should...”

“I’m flying in the sky,” Riley said, pointing to the top.

Chloe held her forehead in frustration.

This fourth brother of hers had always liked to give her surprises since she was young.

This was because he wasn’t around, otherwise he could really spoil her to the heavens and roll up the other brothers to death.

“Forget about him, anyway, I’m done with my sisters!”

Chloe pursed her lips and fiddled with Oscar’s crystal cuffs with her fingertips. “Big brother, take me back to Sea Gate later. I want to go to Falling Star House.”

The matter of Annie standing up to testify for Raya had completely offended all the women of the Sawle and Brown families.

Originally, she had lived like living on thin ice at home, and now it was like being roasted on a charcoal fire, extremely suffering.

“Damn girl! Have you been bribed by that village girl? Are you the little 10:56 A Billion–Rich Woman Was Chased by Her Ex–Husband spy she sent to trick us?”

“Tonight, after drinking a little wine, Skyler became drunk and rushed into Annie’s bedroom. She pointed at her face and scolded, “You are really an ingrate. I usually see you as a fool. I thought you were very simple.”

“Hehe... I didn’t expect that you were pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. You hid your strength and hid your strength. When you found an opportunity, you came out to play evil. When your wings were strong, you began to stir up trouble!”

“I, I am not a pig! I did not lie and was not bribed... I am telling the truth!”

Annie was so scared that her little face turned pale. She hugged her favorite teddy bear tightly. “You, you bullied sister–in–law... I don’t want. sister–in–law to be bullied!”

That was the limited edition anime that Chloe had specially bought from Reskorus. For this, she woke up early and lined up in the rain for six hours before she got it. Every night, Annie would hold it in her arms and fall asleep.

“Well, you... actually dare to whisper to your sister. Die! You!”

Skyler grabbed her sister’s soft hair, so strong that she wanted to tear off Annie’s scalp.

“Ah! It hurts... It hurts!”

“Who told you to get your hair style back to normal? Did I say something that you don’t remember?”

“I said that without my permission, you are not allowed to get your hairstyle back!” Skyler’s eyes widened as she shook her little head.

In fact, she was not so angry about the matter of Raya. After all, it was Grace who was in trouble and she had little relationship with her.

What she hated was that when Medo Auction Center came out that day, Vincent, whom she had been longing for, actually took the initiative to talk to Annie!

Not only that, but he also touched her vegetable flower hair with a smile. At that time, Skyler, who had witnessed the whole process, was so jealous that her face was completely pale, and she wanted to shave all of Annie’s hair with a push!

“Ha... I know what you are planning! You are not really helping that village girl, are you? You want to pretend to be a kind angel and seduce A Billion–Rich Woman Was Chased by Her Ex–Husband Young Master Anderson, right?”

“I, I...” Annie’s eyes were full of tears, and she was speechless.

“You just want to go against us. We don’t like Raya, but you insist on helping her, so that you can show that you are different from the others.”

“Don’t be coquettish! You are like a fool. Young Master Anderson can’t like you. Don’t be self–sentimental!” Skyler’s beautiful face was fierce.

“Third Miss! What are you doing!” Aunt Gill rushed in and hugged the crying Annie in her arms.

Sawle family and the other servants had long been used to this kind of thing, and no one dared to stop Skyler.

However, Aunt Gill was one of Joseph’s people, and she had always been a veteran, so she was the only one who dared to stand up for the fourth miss.

“Aunt Gill, you go out! This is none of your business!” Skyler was also unhappy with Aunt Gill.

“I think you should be the one who should go out!”

Aunt Gill comforted the trembling fourth young miss while sizing up Skyler with a warning gaze, “If you behave yourself and leave this door, this old woman will pretend that I didn’t see anything.

“Otherwise, when the young master comes back, I will tell him everything about how you bullied the fourth young miss.”

Skyler trembled violently and gritted her teeth in unwillingness.

If Joseph knew what her face was like at home, it would definitely be spread to Vincent. The two of them had been really intimate. If Joseph interfered, then wouldn’t it be even harder for her to chase after her husband?

Considering this, Skyler could only temporarily stop.

However, she still felt that it was not enough to vent her anger. Before she left, she grabbed the bear in Annie’s arms and threw it out through the window.

“Ah! My little bear!”

“What rubbish? What an eyesore!”

Skyler snorted coldly. She brushed her long wavy hair and left the room as if nothing had happened.

A Billion–Rich Woman Was Chased by Her Ex–Husband Annie didn’t even bother to put on her shoes and ran out of the villa barefoot.

Coincidentally, Joseph returned to Mazeland Manor and was stunned when he saw her panicked appearance.

“Annie, what happened?” Joseph stepped forward to stop her, his brows slightly furrowed.

Although he hated Aubree and disliked Skyler, he still felt pity for this weak little sister.

Especially the day before yesterday, she dared to stand up for Raya, which made him look at this little girl in a new light.

“My little bear... my little bear is gone...” Annie was so anxious that tears and snot flowed out at the same time.

“Don’t worry, second brother will help you find it.”

Joseph led Annie to the back garden.

In the end, in a muddy flower bed, they saw a lonely little bear doll lying in the middle.

Joseph was so clean. A pair of high–end handmade leather shoes were spotless all year round. At this moment, he ignored the dirt and stepped into the flower bed with his long legs. He personally picked up the toy for Annie.

The little bear was already so dirty that it could not be seen. However, Annie did not mind at all. She held it tightly in her arms as if she had found a precious place. She cried and her tears kept falling.

Joseph had never been a soft–hearted person, but when he saw her cry so sadly, he could not help but feel a little sad.

“Don’t keep it if it’s dirty. I’ll buy a new one for you.”

“No... I only want this... This is what sister–in–law gave me... It’s my favorite toy!”

Joseph’s chest trembled. He didn’t expect her to have such deep feelings for Raya.

Annie remembered how her sister–in–law treated her in the past. She remembered that without her, she spent her days in this huge manor like a year. She remembered her father’s neglect, her mother’s indifference, her sister’s bullying...

“Second Brother!”

A Billion–Rich Woman Was Chased by Her Ex–Husband The little girl threw herself into Joseph’s arms and sobbed, “Sister–in–law... can you still let her come back? I miss her so much... Can you... not separate?”

Joseph’s thin lips quivered, and his throat was blocked by a difficult emotion.

He rubbed her hair with his big hand, but he could not say a word. He was afraid that if he said it, it would hurt her heart even more.

At this moment, his phone rang.

His grandfather’s phone had disrupted his complicated mood.

“Grandpa.”

“Why can’t I get a call from Raya again?”

The older Rory got, the more he looked like a child. On the other side of the line, he was so anxious that he was about to cry.

“What’s wrong with Raya? Recently, she has been nowhere to be found! She hasn’t come to see me!”

“Does Raya not want me as a grandfather anymore?”

“Damn brat! You bastard! You bastard! If I blame you, you’ll have to take it! If Raya ignores me because of you, I will treat you as an outsider and let you die!”

“Grandpa, Raya won’t abandon you. Don’t think too much about it.” Joseph pinched the space between his eyebrows, and his unspeakable face was full of worry.

“Hurry up and contact Raya for me! I want to see my precious granddaughter–in–law! Motherf*cker! Get the hell out of here and find her!”
