Chapter 97
A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased by Her EX-Husband
Chapter 97 The sense of shame was like a flood of ferocious beasts, and they were madly surrounding and attacking Joseph.
Vincent saw this, and his heart was filled with grief.
If his love rival was too strong, how could he defeat him?
Chloe felt a stab in her heart, and her long eyelashes fluttered as she called out, âGrandfather...â
âAlright, Dad, today is your big day. Letâs not talk about unhappy things.â
âWhy donât we take a look at the birthday gifts that the children have prepared for you? After seeing the gifts, we will start the banquet. Donât let the guests wait too long.â
âOh, right! Open the gifts, open the gifts!â Rory rubbed his hands like an old child.
Aiyo, this old man is really cute!
Vincent and the other guests close to the Sawle family sent gifts, which Rory repeatedly nodded in thanks for, accepting them one by one.
âGrandfather!â
Vincent stood in front of Rory and gracefully bowed. He smiled brightly and said. âJoseph and I are brothers. His grandfather is my grandfather!â
âI wish you live long and happy every year!â
âGood boy, good boy! Thank you!â Rory beamed with delight.
âGrandpa, Happy birthday to you!â
Skyler walked over with a shy expression and took the opportunity to stand next to Vincent. âI know that you like antiques. This is my birthday gift for you!â
As she spoke, she deliberately leaned to the side, wanting to get closer to the one she loves, Without so much as a glance, Vincent stepped aside.
Skyler almost fell, and her body swayed a few times before she stood firm!
It was such a disgrace, and there were people around who were secretly laughing.
Skyler was so embarrassed that tears were welling up, and she inwardly cursed those who had laughed at her!
At this time, the servant brought up the jade pot spring bottle that she had prepared. Rory smiled and nodded. âEn! Good, good, good.
The corneank you, granddaughter!*
of Skylerâs lips could not help but rise again, and she was proud of herself.
âMr. Sawle, this is the birthday present that Fourth Miss gave you. Please take a look.â
At this time, Secretary Webb walked over bow.
With a white paper scroll in his hand and a red silk thread tied with a well-behaved âAiya, is it Annie who gave it to me? Quickly bring it over for me to take a look!â
Rory grabbed the paper scroll and opened it up. He was taken aback at first, then burst out laughing. âHahaha, this is me? This is Annieâs sketch of me? Sheâs really talented! What a great job she did! Haha!â
Seeing Old Master smiling, everyone gathered around to investigate.
Leaving Skyler, who had only been in the limelight for three seconds, completely forgotten.
On the white painting paper, there was an old man wearing a long gown, his face adorned with a smile, and every wrinkle on his face exquisitely detailed.
-There were also two lines of small delicate characters below â wishing grandfather a long life and always happy. Annie.
âLook at your sisterâs painting. Does it look like me? Annie is too talented in painting!â Rory praised her proudly. âVegetable flower... ahem, Sister Annieâs painting is really impressive. It has the aroma of an artist!â Vincent thought of the adorable âsister of vegetable flowerâ, and his eyes were filled with a gentle smile.
Skylerâs face stiffened abruptly at the smile, and she felt a pang of jealousy.
âAlthough Annieâs painting skills are still a little immature, in the future, she will definitely be able to achieve something in the world of painting.â Joseph lightly nodded.
âGrandfather, my little sister Annie is incredibly gifted when it comes to painting. She has always dreamed of applying to the academy and learning the art of beauty.â
Chloe took the opportunity to express Annieâs inner thoughts. âLook, even Mr. Sawle, who never praises others, praises Annie. It can be seen that she really has a lot of potential in this area. Why donât you let her develop in the art area?â
âI believe that in five yearsâ time, the Sawle family will have a talented beauty painter among them.â
Joseph frowned, wondering why it seemed like this woman was treating him as a mere tool.
He never praised people? Was he that mean?
âDonât you two usually not care about children? The child has such outstanding talent, she should be nurtured well!â
âAnnie is different from ordinary children. You all know her situation. As parents, you should take out enough time to take care of her!â
âYes, yes, Dad, you are... Mr. Sawle and his wife could only smile and nod in agreement.
âI like this gift too much. Where is Annie? Come over and let Grandpa hug you!â Rory asked with a kind smile.
âFourth Miss said that she wonât come down because she isnât feeling well. Sheâll come to see you later, Secretary Webb replied gently.
âSigh, that child...â
âWebb, frame this painting for me and hang it in my study room. That way, I can see it from time to time. Rory sighed. Secretary Webb nodded and carefully put away the painting.
When Skyler saw that her grandfather valued Annieâs gift so much, she almost exploded in anger. Her eyes were red with hatred Originally, she thought that her younger sister, who had never had any pocket money, would definitely not be able to bring out any decent gifts. When it was time to present her birthday gift, she would definitely lose face.
In the end, that cursed girl chose the easy route, she spending millions on antiques, only the shoddy painting Annie had casually drawn!
Annie! Just you wait... You are dead!â
to find that they were inferior to Meanwhile, Grace. pacing back and forth in the corridor, sent someone to summon Aubree.
Aubree crossed her arms and walked in front of her. Her face was not much better.
Aunt, what should we do?â
âOur methods canât shake the position of Raya in grandfatherâs heart. Their friendship became even stable!â
âI didnât anticipate it to be this way. The older he gets, the more peculiar his temper is. Itâs irrational!â
Aubree narrowed her eyes like a viper and asked in a low voice, âGrace, Plan B, it seems that we have to use it today.â
âAunt, Grace said through gritted teeth, her eyes were cold.
âNo, wait a little longer.â
Aubree patted her shoulder and sneered, âThere will be an honored guest coming soon. At that time, I have a way to turn Raya into a laughing stock and ruin her reputation!â
The segment of sending gifts continued.
When Josephâs Song Dynasty azure kiln appeared, it triggered a small climax!
Old Master Sawleâs many friends from the antique appraisal circle were present, eager to step closer to admire the elegance of the celadon porcelain.
As a result, Rory was extremely stingy, tightly hugging the box in his bosom, fearing that these trembling old fellows would accidentally break his treasure!
This is a gift from my good grandson. None of you are allowed to touch it!â
Everyone laughed, and Chloe also covered her mouth and laughed.
âGrandpa, these are the items that KS Groupâs Second Madame donated at the charity auction. I knew they were rare, sol got them for you. I hope you like them. When Joseph noticed Oscar was there, he explained where the presents came from. âAh!
That must be Director Thorpâs personal collection! Aiya... In terms of antiques, no one in the entire Medo can compare to him!â
Rory stroked the box and sighed.
âIf my father were aware that his collection could be beneficial to you, Mr. Sawle, he would be delighted,â Oscar said, his demeanor gentle and refined, a smile in his eyes.
Big Brother had the ability to be a peace messenger, remaining calm and collected, humble and polite no matter how pter 97 contradictory the situation. His extraordinary bearing could turn hostility into friendship.
âGrandpa! This is the birthday gift I prepared for you!â Graceâs sweet voice suddenly came.
Everyone could not help but focus on her, but their eyes were somewhat contemptuous.
It was clear to all that Old Master Sawle had no fondness for Miss Brown, if she wished to join the Sawle Group family, it would not be a simple task.
âDad, the present Grace made for you is really thoughtful. She knows youâre fond of ancient art, so she got you an authentic Song Dynasty piece at an auction.â Jake beamed, making way for Grace.
She was the niece of his lover after all, so he had to help her no matter what.
âOh? Song Daiâs authentic work is a little interesting. Roryâs eyes lit up with interest.
Grace ordered someone to bring the drawing box over and specially had someone put on white gloves to carefully open the scroll in front of everyone.
A few lovers of treasure appraisal went up.
But in the next second, Roryâs face darkened a little. He only said lightly. âThank you.â
At this time, someone in the group asked, âThis... is it really the authentic work of the Song Dynasty? Could it be fake?
