A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased by Her EX-Husband
Chapter 179

Chapter 179

When Joseph drove to the barbecue shop at top speed, Chloe and the legendary playboy were no longer here.

He pursed his thin lips unwillingly and thought back to the picture of Chloe and the man rubbing their cars together. His stiff and cold face almost fell to the ground.

At this moment, standing in the smoke, he felt that he was being cheap no matter how he thought about it.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but worry.

In the middle of the night, having dinner with a man who looked like he was up to no good in such a chaotic place…

‘Chloe, do you know what fear is?”.

Suddenly, the phone vibrated. It was a string of unfamiliar numbers.

Joseph exhaled a breath of turbid air and answered, “Who is it?”

“Is it Mr. Joseph?” A mechanical female voice came from the other side.

“Yes.”

“This is the Eastern branch of Medo City’s Public Security Bureau. May I know who Max is to you?”

“He is my secretary. Did something happen?” Joseph asked.

“Please come to the police station now. Let’s talk about it when you come.”

What happened that night could be described as magical.

The Lamborghini sped on the road, and Joseph’s mind spun rapidly. He could not think of how Max, who did not even dare to kill a chicken, got into the police station.

Just as Joseph strode into the police station, he bumped into a handsome man wearing a black leather jacket. He was tall and straight.

He was the man in the photo who was ambiguous with Chloe!

Marble also saw Joseph, and his eagle-like eyes swept him up and down like a ray of light.

Then, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he asked with a sneer, “You are Joseph? Are you here to protect Max?”

“What does it have to do with you?” Joseph frowned, and his eyes were full of hostility.

“Heh, your question is interesting.”

“He came in because of me. How can it have nothing to do with me?” Marble sneered.

“Are you doing this for revenge?” Joseph frowned, like a stone thrown into the quiet lake.

“Revenge?”

“The relationship between you and Chloe was broken by my secretary, so you used this method to take revenge on my people?”

At this moment, Joseph was angry and could not see that the young man in front of him was a sophisticated criminal police officer. He thought that this man was standing up for Chloe.

When Marble heard this, he was not angry but smiled. “With your IQ, being a president, I think this is one of the miracles of mankind.”

Joseph gritted his teeth and retorted, “A social practitioner dares to openly come out of the police station and even dares to complain first. I also admire your courage as a young man.”

Marble: ?!

What nonsense is this damned grandson saying? The custom… Is he that coquettish?

On the other hand, the bastard in front of him who hurt Chloe had thick eyebrows and big eyes. The figure hidden under

the suit looked more solid and strong than him. It was estimated that it could be sold for a good price!

At this moment, two male policemen passed by and saluted when they saw Marble.

“Hello, Captain Thorp!”

“Yes.” Marble smiled and nodded at them.

Joseph took a deep breath and stared at Marble in disbelief.

This kid was not a money boy, but a policeman

Captain Thorp… his surname was also Thorp.

If one looked closely, they would replace that his big, bright eyes, his nose, and lower jaw, which were as sharp as a knife, looked familiar.

“Seventh Brother!”

Joseph’s figure suddenly stabilized, and a sweet and familiar female voice stabbed his back.

‘How many sons does Stefan have in this world?’

‘Is he not afraid of his ninth son fighting for the throne in his later years?”

He slowly turned around and saw Chloe standing a few steps behind him, looking at him coldly.

“Chloe, how did you do it?”

“I already said that I will handle this matter. You just need to sleep peacefully.”

“No, this matter must be handled by me personally.”

As she spoke, Chloe looked at Joseph. The coldness and unfamiliarity between her brows made his heart stab.

After the divorce, she remained cold and distant towards him. While he used to feel resentment before, now, he felt more afraid.

Deep within his soul, he didn’t want to see her treat him like a complete stranger, as he yearned for something different.

He would rather have her hate him with all her might, even if it meant her hitting him or biting him, than endure such cold

treatment from her.

“Chloe…” The man opened his mouth and called her.

“Joseph, come out with me.”

Chloe gave him a cold glare and turned to leave.

Joseph’s eyes followed her beautiful back, and his footsteps were hurried to follow her, but he was pulled back by Marble. “Hey, President Ingrate, I remind you to behave yourself. This is the police station. If you dare to do anything to my sister, I will give you a pair of handcuffs!”

“You are the seventh young master of Thorp family. Then you should know what kind of relationship I had with Chloe.”

“In the past, when she was my wife, we treated each other as guests. Now, there is no need for you to worry about useless things.”

“Hehe, that may not be the case.”

“The man who divorced and found someone to take photos of his ex-wife. In some criminal cases that I handled, he was either a psychopath or a homicidal maniac. There has never been a normal person!”

Joseph: “…”

Chloe and Joseph came to the empty space behind the police station. It was relatively quiet and easy to negotiate.

After all, they were all people of status. If someone really took a picture of them in such a sensitive place like the police station, it would not be good if it was spread.

The two of them confronted each other, and the dim light elongated their superior figures.

“Joseph…”

“Did you drink?”

Without waiting for Chloe to finish speaking, Joseph took a step closer to her, and his broad figure covered her, covering up the little light left in her.

Chloe was secretly shocked. At this time, the man turned his head and gently sniffed her hair. He said in a low voice, “This white wine is quite high. Do you think that your alcohol tolerance is very good? Last time at KTV, don’t you know how drunk you were?”

“You have been married to me for three years. You are a person who doesn’t touch a drop of wine.”

“I have always been very good at drinking. I am seldome drunk. I have also always been addicted to wine. It’s just that you have never understood me.” Chloe’s almond eyes were cold. She took a step back and leaned her back against the wall.

“That’s because of you. You have never shown me your true face. You have never been honest with me.” Joseph took a step closer to her, his heart filled with bitterness.

“Pfft, Joseph, I replace that you are shirking responsibility. You are really good at it.”

Chloe tilted her head, her red lips were seductive, causing her Adam’s apple to roll unconsciously, unable to control it. “What kind of person were you in the past? What kind of husband were you? Did you lose your memory?”

“Even if I opened my heart to you in the past, you wouldn’t want to know me. And at that time, you already hated me enough. Why should I ask for trouble to reveal my true face? It makes you even more annoyed.”

Now, she was able to say these words indifferently.

But every word of these words could set off a huge wave in Joseph’s heart lake.

It turned out that at that time, she disguised herself to curry favor with him.

Yes, which woman doesn’t want to show her best side in front of the person she loves?

Just like how Grace had pretended to be innocent in front of him, ignorant of the world, and even used despicable methods like pretending to be depressed. In the end, it was just to tie his heart down.

Joseph realized later that the Chloe at that time was really humble to the ground.

Grace pretended to be innocent and did all that she could to control him, so as to satisfy her own desire.

In the past, Chloe had disguised herself just to not be hated by him.

Joseph felt as if his heart was going through a painful strangulation. His eyes were red and he wanted to say something, but Chloe said coldly, “Joseph, I know what you mean by sending Max to follow me.”

“Ada Wang’s wedding is approaching. I am now your biggest competitor. I can understand that you want Max to inquire about my intelligence and monitor the whereabouts of the business opponents.”

“But hasn’t your Sawle Group won the first battle? Didn’t Ada Wang choose to attend your welcome banquet? You also sent Max to follow me and secretly took photos of my seventh brother. Isn’t this too despicable?”
