A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased by Her EX-Husband
Chapter 135

Chapter 135

His eyes were cold and indifferent, as if they were unfamiliar.

Joseph’s single shadow, just a few steps away, froze in place, observing her and Jerome standing together. His tall and straight frame trembled, and he felt weightless, as if he were stepping on air and tumbling down from a tall building

He pursed his lips and looked down, his heart tightening as his eyes noticed her arm wrapped in gauze. Subconsciously stepping forward to get closer to her, he felt a wave of emotion wash over him.

“Your hand…”

Chloe, as if to avoid the plague, retreated, allowing Jerome, the flower protector envoy, to stand in her defense.

Joseph’s throat tightened as his face met the man’s eyes, and the air around them seemed to crackle with lightning and fire.

*Others can give three chances, but I’m special- I won’t give a second chance!”

Jerome pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and narrowed his eyes with a menacing glint. He was seething with rage. “You’ve already taken something from me tonight. Do you really think I’m going to let you do it again?”

“Who do you think you are to her?” Joseph fixed him with a piercing stare and spoke icily.

Previously, he had been tricked by Chloe’s brothers and was very fearful that the person could be Stefan’s son, who had never revealed himself.

The way he looked at Chloe was like the eyes of a close relative, however,

“Someone who is closer than you and more significant than you, Chloe uttered coldly, piercing the man’s heart with her words.

Jerome looked back at her, his lips curved in a satisfied smile.

“Joseph, I didn’t misremember. I already told you this at the KTV entrance. I really don’t understand why you’re still stuck.

on this.”

The man’s eyes immediately reddened. “Chloe, don’t you know what’s best for you? You were intoxicated with a man of unknown background. I was scared that you might be…”

“Other people’s concerns are alright, Chloe said, frowning impatiently, “but yours is repulsive.”

Tve already been sick tonight. Please be kind, Mr. Sawle. Don’t let me be ill again.”

It was utterly heart-rending.

Joseph opened his thin, pale lips, and the bitterness in the depths of his heart was palpable.

Wave after wave of impact battered his spirit, making it increasingly difficult to maintain his composure. Headache after headache surged through his nerves, leaving him feeling as if he was on the brink of emotional breakdown.

Why was he unable to give her away even though they had already ended their relationship?

Could he have been regretting his divorce deeply?

Joseph descended into a spiral of self-doubt.

Was he wrong from the start?

“Mr. Sawle! Miss Brown… Miss Brown has made it through the tough time!”

Max rushed over at that moment, shouting loudly without noticing Chloe was there.

When he saw it, it was already too late.

Seeing Mr. Sawle and Chloe’s expressions being so glum, he really wished he could take back his words!

“It appears that Mr. Sawle already has a beautiful companion.”

Jerome immediately grasped the situation. He looked down and softly said, “So why are you still bothering Miss Thorp? Do you want to reap the benefits of someone else’s hard work?”

Joseph’s dark eyes held Max speechless.

These words were too unpleasant to be heard!

Chloe’s pupils constricted in shock secretly!

Ms. Thorp… He was actually aware of who she was?!

“Now that we’re divorced, let’s not bother each other anymore. This is a rule of etiquette, and it’s even more courteous.”

“Since one cannot excel,” Jerome said, fixing Joseph with a cold stare. “then one should at least strive to be a good person”

“What are you saying?” Max stepped forward to protect his master, his face red with anger. “Why are you still cursing!!*

“No need to fret.” Chloe said, not wanting to cause a stir in public “Let’s head back”

“Alright,” Jerome suddenly shifted to a gentle smile and meekly went back to her side.

Joseph watched as their outstanding figures faded from his sight. His heart stopped and his blood ran cold.

Someone else was already beside her.

Joseph subconsciously pressed his trembling chest. feeling a deep pain as if his heart had been ripped out.

It was only at this moment that he truly realized they were truly divorced.

Upon spotting Jerome and Chloe exiting the underground parking lot, Jordan hastened to greet them.

“Young Miss, how is your injury?”

“It’s a trifling issue. Where is the killer?” Chloe was solely focused on this issue right now.

“Don’t fret. I’ve already dispatched someone to surreptitiously take him away. He’s now at our little black abode. It’s hard to soar with wings implanted,” Jordan murmured in her ear.

“Yes, very good,” Chloe said, narrowing her dangerous yet beautiful eyes and patting his shoulder. Jordan, we have to accomplish great things in the coming days.”

Jordan nodded seriously. “Be ready for battle at all times!”

“Hold on for me first. I’m going to go say farewell to him.”

As she spoke, Chlor spun around and headed towards Jerome.

The handsome man stood with his hands behind his back, a sculpture-like figure beside a Bentley, at that moment.

“Tonight, you also witnessed that my connection with Mr. Sawle is quite intricate.”

Chloe raised her beautiful eyes and met the man’s smiling face. Her voice held a hint of remorse. “I had no other option, so I dragged you into this with me.”

“I really shouldn’t drag you into this situation between me and him. I’m sorry.”

“There’s no need to apologize. It would be an honor if 1 could be of service to you.” Jerome spoke with clarity and charisma.

Chloe gently pursed her lips, feeling even more embarrassed at the words.

“If you replace it beneficial, feel free to carry on next time,” the man said with a smile.

“Sir, you’re joshing me again,” Chloe said with a bitter smile. “I don’t want a repeat of this”

“Keep your injuries dry for the next seven days. Cut down on unhealthy snacks. It’s getting late. Head home soon”

Jerome’s eyes were full of reluctance, yet he grasped the concept of not pushing it too far. With a goodbye, he turned and stepped into the car.

“Hold on a second!” Chloe rapped on the window.

The ink-hued window rolled down slowly, and Jerome beamed at her with a smile.

“You just referred to me as Miss Thorp in front of Joseph. How did you know my last name is Thorp? You knew who I was from the start, didn’t you?” Chloe was very inquisitive. If she didn’t get a response, she probably wouldn’t be able to rest easy.

“Yes,” he gazed deeply into her clear, limpid eyes, searching for the truth.

“I have never revealed my visage in public. Not many people in Medo are aware of my identity. How do you know? Have we encountered each other before? Chloe asked repeatedly, her eyes gleaming.

I’ll let you know when we get together again, Jerome said with a slight smile.

The secretary and bodyguard got on the car, and two luxury cars followed Chloe as she left.

Suddenly, she recalled something and smacked her forehead. “Oh my goodness! I completely forgot to ask him what his _name was again!”

The Bentley raced across the star-studded night sky of Medo.

Jerome stared at the glass window, mesmerized by the gorgeous rainbow light that illuminated Chloe’s beautiful and soul-stirring face.

His long, passionate eyes narrowed as his fingers gently caressed the cold glass.

“Chloe… I didn’t anticipate encountering you like this.”

“Director Xavier, I just looked into the status of Joseph and her… There is no record of them being married! However, I am aware that they officially divorced this month.”

The secretary glanced at the iPad and exclaimed, “Miss Thorp is single now!”

“It doesn’t matter,” Jerome recalled, still moved. “She said that, in her heart, I was closer and more important to her than Joseph.”

“Well done, Director Xavier! You’ve triumphed in the first skirmish and vanquished Joseph!” The secretary was delighted for

him.

“Isn’t it just that, how can it be enough?”

“I want her to have only me in her heart,” Jerome said, his gaze cold and indifferent.
