A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased by Her EX-Husband
Chapter 112

Chapter 112

Grace was utterly stunned.

“I’ve warned you multiple times that no matter what scheme you concoct, you are not permitted to involve Skyler! If you don’t heed my advice, don’t be surprised if I don’t show any concern for my kin!”

“Aunt! Aunt, I was wrong… I was mistaken for a moment… I promise I won’t do this again!” Grace’s heart was filled with loathing, and she kept imploring Aubree for forgiveness.

Aubree disdainfully looked down at this humble woman.

Were it not for the Bell family having no one else to turn to, how could they possibly have countenanced a scheming woman like Grace becoming the Sawle family’s daughter-in-law?

For a thousand days, she had been raising her troops, and for so many years she had cultivated Grace; she was unwilling to destroy this chess piece just as she was about to make her move.

What happened tonight made her feel as disgusted as if she had swallowed a fly, yet even so, this fly could only be swallowed! “Now that Raya has joined the Thorp family, what kind of family is it? Stefan is renowned for pampering his own kids. You won’t be able to get near her!”

“The most pressing matter at hand is to retrieve Joseph’s heart and wed the Sawle family! This is of the utmost importance!” Aubree’s lips were drawn taut, and with her aunt’s lipstick, it was a truly frightful sight.

“But Aunt… Joseph is obviously going to end things with me! Just like Uncle said… He’s got the intention to break up with me, and no one can stop him!” Grace realized that her dream of becoming wealthy and influential was in jeopardy and started to cry again.

“But he hasn’t reached that stage, right!”

“Grace, don’t reach out to Joseph for the next few days. It’s best if you stay home and don’t see anyone. You need to make it seem like you were really excited about Joseph!” Aubree said with a menacing expression.

“Auntie, auntie… will this work?” Grace asked skeptically.

“If you can’t bring yourself to let go of the kid, you won’t be able to get the wolf. Grace, you’ll have to endure a bit of pain and hardship.”

“But if you want to win over Aunt, you must stir up the fondest recollections in his heart to make him recall your kindness. Only then can you reclaim his affections!”

Joseph sat in the book room that night, smoking one cigarette after another, the misty smoke shrouding his deep, cold eyes, and dignified face.

Thinking of the phrase ‘see you at the Civil Affairs Bureau at nine o’clock tomorrow morning’ kept him awake all night.

After visiting Oscar in the hospital, Chloe was sent back to Medo’s villa by Jordan and Stefan. Knowing that she had to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau the next morning to get her divorce certificate, she cajoled and convinced Stefan to take her back to

Sea Gate.

After removing her makeup, taking a shower, and shoving off a bowl of Italian cheese, the young lady put on the silk blindfold and drifted off to sleep, not stirring until dawn.

Yesterday, Chloe’s grandfather’s birthday banquet took many unexpected turns, causing her to expend a lot of energy battling demons and ghosts. When she awoke, it was already 8 am and the rubber dinghy was gone!

“Wow! Why didn’t you call me sooner? The alarm clock is defunct, not functioning!”

Chloe descended the stairs, her tassel carring swaying with her movements, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, reminiscent of autumnal smoke.

Jordan rushed over in an apron, his gaze immediately drawn to the young lady who was almost naked, her jade bone

muscles on full display. Her eyes were bright, her lips a deep red, and her eyebrows a lush green. She was so stunning that it was impossible to look away.

Even if he had the opportunity to see her like this every day, he still felt pleasantly surprised each time.

*I noticed you were exhausted last night, so I didn’t want to disturb you by calling. I wanted you to get some more rest.”

“How can that be? Today is the day of my divorce!”

Chloe glared at Jordan, “I’m a person who values punctuality. Besides, I can’t be late on a day like this. Joseph, that self-righteous mutt, should understand that I can’t bear to leave him.”

“At last, the day has arrived. Congratulations!” Jordan said with heartfelt emotion.

Chapter 112

“That’s correct! Didn’t you notice? I even wore a red dress deliberately. It must be a celebration!” Chloe twirled around elegantly.

Jordan had initially been concerned that the Young Mistress would be uneasy on such a day, but now it appeared he had been worrying unnecessarily.

“Young Miss, please have something to eat before you go.”

“It’s already too late. Bring it with me. I’ll eat it in the carf”

To make Chloe more comfortable, Jordan opted for the Rolls-Royce instead of a top-class sports car today.

Chloe, sandwich in mouth, tapped away at her laptop in the back of the car, not neglecting her official duties.

These days, our team has been making a concerted effort to contact Ada Wang, but she’s proving to be quite difficult to deal with, not even granting us the courtesy of a meeting, KS Group!

“We’ve only phoned her manager twice.” Jordan grumbled as he drove. “and we still haven’t seen her!”

“What about the Sawle Group?” Chlor asked icily.

“To my knowledge, they are also sightless.”

“That’s great! So, we’re not lagging behind. We’re still on the same starting line as Sawle Group”

“But we’re not just competing with Sawle Group! I heard that there are at least ten top-notch hotels in the nation vying for the chance to host Ada Wang’s wedding.”

“For a hotel; Sawle Group and Thorp Group have always been the standard to which others are compared. How can smaller brands compete when she can act so superior?”

“Keep in touch with her team and show her our commitment, Chloe said as she took a bite of her sandwich and squinted.

“Ada has a busy agenda next month. I’ll meet her in person and sort this out. Let’s put the Sawle Group out of our minds!”

Whoever lays a finger on my cheese, will meet their end!

At the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau

!

A pair of young couples were already in line, embracing or taking sweet selfies with their phones. The sky was a brilliant blue, with clouds that seemed to be in the shape of hearts.

The ancestral green-colored Rolls-Royce, marked by the crystal goddess car, stopped steadily at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, drawing envious glances from all the young couples.

Glancing at her watch, Chloe saw that it was already nine o’clock as she sat in the back row.

“Heh, Joseph didn’t even mention coming here,” Jordan sneered. “As expected of the president, he’s really putting on airs.”

“Forget about it, let him arrange it.”

Through the privacy curtain, Chloe looked outside at the smiling faces moistened by love, and the eyes shining with joy, and said softly. Tve waited for him too many times in this life. This is the last time. Doesn’t matter if I wait any longer.”

Three years ago, she and Joseph had come to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate, and she had waited for him at the entrance with an empty stomach for an entire day.

Just as the Civil Affairs Bureau was about to close its doors, Joseph arrived late. Without a word of apology, he hurriedly got the certificate with her at the last minute.

Despite this, she was so delighted that she kept her eyes open all night.

Reflecting on it, she realized she had once felt so lowly and hopeless, but now she understood that loving others began with loving herself.

After waiting for another half an hour, Chloe’s patience gradually waning, a taxi pulled up at the entrance of the Civil Affairs

-Bureau.

When Joseph stepped out of the taxi, she was almost incredulous at what she saw.

“Dang… Am I seeing things? Mr. Sawle, so dignified, took a taxi here? What’s the deal with the rising oil prices? Can’t the Maybach be opened?” Jordan’s eyes widened.

“Perhaps it’s to maintain a low profile. After all, divorce is not a particularly honorable thing for Mr. Sawle.”

Chloe and Jordan got out of the car, Chloe yawning-

Today, Joseph was dressed in his favorite wide, black-and-gray-striped suit, a misty-blue shirt, and a dark-colored tic, as usual exuding coldness, strictness, and self-control.

The sight of the incredibly handsome man stirred a wave of excitement among the girls, who would have screamed out loud

had it not been for the presence of their boyfriends.

As Chloe confidently and elegantly strode towards Joseph, the men present couldn’t help but be filled with anticipation!

“Wow… take a gander at her face. It’s as pristine as a peeled lychee. Is this her actual complexion?”

“It appears to be a plain face… Her attire is so exquisite! Tell me the cost to make me surrender!”

“Tsk. it must be a facade! It can only be said that her makeup skills are impressive… and deceptive!”

“That implies she has a solid base! No matter how others may try to depict it, they can’t replicate this!”

These young people, usually watching TV shows or variety shows, were unaware that the handsome man they were looking at was Joseph, the president of Sawle Group.

The taxi further concealed his identity.

“Mr. Sawle, Chloe said, her expression icy, ‘you…”

“I encountered a delay on my way here, so I arrived late.”

Joseph was the first to speak. His thin lips moved for a moment before he uttered in a deep tone, “I apologize.”
