A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased by Her EX-Husband
Chapter 161

Chapter 161

Aubree’s forehead was full of cold sweat, and she walked back to the restaurant with a heavy heart.

That little bitch Grace was raised by her, but now she was pinching her!

Originally, she had no evidence, so she was not afraid.

But now it was different. Now Jake was not as affectionate to her as before. If she made some more trouble at this time, she would be like walking on thin ice in the situation of Sawle Group!

Right now, she wanted to help Grace settle the debt, but she did not want to pay for it, so she could only shamelessly put on a bitter show in front of Jake.

“Jake, although Grace did something wrong, she is still the child you watched growing up from a young age… You know how obedient and sensible she was in the past.”

“Now that my sister has gone in, my brother-in-law has become a vegetable… Brown Group is now unable to make ends meet. That child is so frightened that she does not dare to go back to be surrounded by debt collectors every day. In the end, I was the one who brought her up… I really can’t bear it.”

Aubree’s delicate hand covered the back of Jake’s tight hand, and her eyes were sad and sad. “Jake, you have always been kind and generous. Just treat it as a charitable deed, and we will help Grace get through this crisis. This can also be considered as being benevolent and righteous…”

Jake’s tightly knitted brows eased up a little, as if he had been moved by her words.

Suddenly, there was a snap –

Mr. Sawle and his wife were both shocked, and Skyler was so frightened that she almost choked.

Joseph, who had been silent all this time, took out a recording pen from his bosom, raised his hand, and threw it in front of Mr. Sawle and his wife.

“If you want to help Grace, listen to this first, and then make a decisión.”

Aubree’s heart beat like a drum, and she couldn’t figure out what Joseph was up to.

Jake picked up the recording pen with a puzzled face and pressed the play button.

Two people’s voices came from inside. One was Yates, and the other was Grace!

“As for Chloe, don’t touch her first. Wait for my news. The situation is much better now. I have regained Joseph’s trust. He has been accompanying me for the past few days. Moreover, Director Sawle has agreed to our marriage. We should be getting engaged soon.”

“Then, then you and Joseph have already settled down. That 700 thousand dollars…”

“Tsk, what are you in such a hurry for? Why are you rushing me with that bit of money? I’ll give you five hundred thousand first. You spend it first. When Mr. Sawle and I are set in stone, I’ll transfer the rest of the money to you after the engagement ceremony.”

The recording ended, and the restaurant was dead silent.

Aubree’s face had already turned into a frosted cucumber. It was white and green, and she even regretted pleading for Grace just now.

‘Stupid! You didn’t even clean your ass when you did things. You actually left such a big weakness. You deserve to die!”

“Aunt Bell, is this well-behaved girl you brought up?”

“You should be glad that my ex-wife is smart enough to nip your niece in the bud.” Joseph’s eyes were dark red.

“Otherwise, if anything happened to Chloe, Grace would not end up like this today. I have a way to make her die, and I have a way to make her live a life worse than death.”

Aubree sucked in a breath of cold air and stared at Joseph with a trace of ruthlessness in his dark eyes.

She thought that this kid was like his father, who was indecisive in love and could afford to let go of people.

After all, he and Grace had been pulling each other back and forth for so many years. Even if Grace betrayed him, it would be easier said than done for him to get rid of the emotional bonds that had existed for more than ten years.

However, she did not expect that Joseph would be so cold and heartless! The feelings he had for her back then had long since

can guarantee that she will really use this

“Grace, she only treated me and Sawle family as her scaling ladder and ATM. W money to save Brown Group and Chairman Brown instead of running amok?” Joseph picked up a napkin and wiped his lips. Then, he slowly and elegantly got up and coldly glared at them. “If Director Sawle wants to engage in charity, there are hundreds of welfare homes and nursing homes in Medo, as well as millions of

hopeful elementary schools across the country. Wouldn’t it be more virtuous to focus your charitable deeds there? Why insist on spending money on a woman with questionable intentions?”

After saying that, Joseph left the restaurant with a cold expression on his face.

Aubree looked at the man’s tall and cold back, and her heart trembled.

At this moment, Jake pulled his hand out of her palm and stood up with a stern look in his eyes.

“Joseph is right. They, Brown Group, have committed a sin and can’t live! We, Sawle Group, have helped them again and again before, and we have done our best. Now that they have caused a great disaster, if I help them, I will be helping the evildoer!”

“From now on, you don’t have to worry about the Brown family any longer. It’s best that this cancerous relative never crosses paths again!”

After saying that, Jake also left angrily.

“That’s right, Mom. Why do you care about her? You should let that little slut Grace die on her own…” Skyler chewed the steak on her cheek, expressing her confusion.

“You only know how to eat when you eat! What the hell do you know!”

Aubree’s eyes were so angry that they were about to spit fire. She no longer cared about the bearing of a rich madam. She picked up a meal bag and threw it at Skyler.

She really underestimated this kid. His heart was far harder and more ruthless than his father’s!

It seemed that this hole in Brown family, in the end, needed her to take out her private money to fill in.

It was really painful to lift a rock and smash her own foot!

After dinner, Joseph went to the garage alone to pick up a car and drove to Morning Moon Bay.

After settling Grace, he was not as comfortable as he had imagined.

From the first day he became Sawle family’s heir, he had always hoped to do everything well.

The result was that he seemed to have ruined everything.

Whether it was marriage or family.

“Miss Thorp is really kind! At that time, I was so scared that my heart was cold, but Miss Thorp calmly took out a needle and inserted it into several acupoints on Mr. Sawle’s head. The situation was quickly alleviated!”

“For the first time in three years, I knew that Miss Thorp also knew medicine. I saw that her level was not inferior to Mr. Sawle’s private doctor at all!”

Joseph took a deep breath and stepped on the accelerator harder.

In fact, he should have known that she knew medicine a long time ago.

Not only did she save her grandfather this time, but also the waiter with epilepsy whom she rescued at the hotel; and even before they divorced, there were multiple occasions when he had a headache worse than death, and it was her acupuncture that brought him relief.

She had paid a lot for him, and had always been quietly doing her duty as a wife and taking care of the family.

But why did he only feel that she was annoying and hypocritical at that time? She was obviously full of shining advantages, but she seemed to have lost her mind and could not see anything.

Joseph gripped the steering wheel tightly with his right hand, his left hand pressing down on his trembling chest.

Now that he thought about it, he felt that Grace was the biggest unworthy in his life.

In Chloe’s heart, her role was probably comparable to Grace’s.

When Rory heard that his grandson had come over, he was overjoyed. He was already waiting for him in the living room.

He did not say anything about this little grandson, but he had always doted on him in his heart. Otherwise, he would not have rejected the public opinions back then and helped him sit in the president’s seat.

“Grandpa, how do you feel these two days? If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me in time.”

Joseph knelt down on one knee under Rory’s wheelchair. He raised his face to look at his grandfather, revealing his clear eyes when he was young. “Why don’t you follow me back to Mazeland Manor? Aunt Gill and I can take good care of you.”

“Why should I go back to that place? Looking at your father and his unlucky wife’s stinky face, I could only get a 20% discount if I could live to a hundred years old!”

Rory felt a headache whenever he thought of Aubree. He could not help but let out a shaky breath. “I swore before that if Jake doesn’t divorce me, I won’t go back to live for a day. I live here very well. The secret of longevity is that never see them again!”

Joseph smiled helplessly. He really couldn’t do anything to this old imp.

“This villa was once the love nest of Sir and Madam. Sir is willing to stay here because there is the scent of Madam living here. You are reluctant to leave.” Secretary Webb said with an understanding smile.

“Webb, I may be really old and confused. Sometimes, my mind is not clear.”

Rory turned around and looked at the back garden with hazy eyes. “There was once when I saw Kate singing a song in the back garden. She was watering flowers and grass. When I got closer, she was smiling at me…”

“Mr. Sawle, it’s not that you are confused. It’s that Madam must have felt your affection. She knows that you have been missing her all these years, so she can’t bear to leave you and so she stays with you all the time.” Secretary Webb comforted her softly.

Joseph felt a lump in his throat and hung his head down guiltily.

He knew that Grandpa and Grandma had a very good relationship and was deeply worried. Because he had witnessed a happy love, he was full of hope that his love was also firm and beautiful.

That was why he was so obsessed with being with Grace as if he could not walk out of his heart demon.

Along the way, it was not that he did not notice that there was something wrong with Grace. Their personalities were not suitable. They did not have endless topics to talk about when they were together. Most of the time, it was him who was accommodating her.

However, he was too eager to be loved, too eager to get love, and even more afraid of the feeling of all the efforts going to waste and losing miserably.

However, in the end, he still lost miserably, and even hurt another heart that was shining like a diamond.

He was really too stupid.

“Grandpa, I’m sorry.” Joseph’s long eyelashes fluttered, and his voice trembled.

When Rory saw that his grandson, who had always been proud and reserved, could not even raise his head, he sighed in distress and patted his shoulder, “Joseph, you are just like Grandpa when he was young. You are both stubborn and stubborn.”

“It’s just that Grandpa is luckier than you. Grandpa loves the right person, and you have less luck than Grandpa. But fortunately, he turned back in the end. There is no mistake, no mistake. Hehe… congratulations.”

“Grandpa, I…”

“Actually, Grandpa is also in the wrong. Grandpa should not force you to be with Raya. The forced melon is not sweet In the future, you will each pursue your own happiness. It is really too much for Raya to be with someone who does not love her.”

With a serious face, Rory ordered, “Webb, give me a list tomorrow. I will gather all the business elites from Medo for Raya to check. Now I have nothing to do. When I have time, I will take Raya to see them.”

“Although Raya is divorced, I can’t let the divorce delay her future. Otherwise, I won’t be able to close my eyes on the day I die!”

“Ah? Ah, yes, Mr. Sawle.” Secretary Webb didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

When Joseph heard this, the scene of Jerome giving Chloe roses under the setting sun suddenly appeared in his mind.

He secretly clenched his fists. His heart felt sour and swollen, like a plum full of green.

After chatting with his grandfather for a while, Joseph drove away from the villa.

“Mr. Sawle, you clearly wanted Second Young Master and Miss Thorp to be together in your dreams. This time… why did you arrange to introduce new people to Miss Thorp?” Secretary Webb asked in confusion.

“I know my grandson best. If I force him to get back together with Raya, he won’t listen to me.”

Rory narrowed his crafty eyes and smiled meaningfully. “As a man, he is born with possessiveness and desire to conquer.”

“Only when he feels a sense of crisis can he face his feelings and understand who is the person he really wants.”
