A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased by Her EX-Husband
Chapter 221

Chapter 221

“Annie, how can you be so rude and not use your chopsticks properly when you’re eating with Grandpa? That’s not very polite!” Aubree scolded Annie with a sullen face.

“That’s enough it’s just a pair of chopsticks. Do you really need to yell at the kid?”

Rory naturally blamed Aubree, loving his little granddaughter as he does.

Aubree tightly clenched her hands beneath the table. In the end, even breathing seemed wrong in front of this old bastard!

“Grandpa, Dad, Mom… I’ve finished eating.”

Annie’s cheeks were burning with embarrassment, so she lowered her head and bit her lips as she hastily departed the dining table.

Joseph gazed after his little sister as she ran away, his eyes deep in thought..

Skyler’s heart was overflowing with pride at that moment.

Annie, you are acting foolishly and without regard for your surroundings, and there is no need for you to be embarrassed.

It’s a pity that you are so self-righteous and provoked my man. Therefore, I must give you a real lesson and let you see clearly who is the apple of my parents’ eye and who is the woman who can match Young Master Anderson!

“How can it be, Brother Anderson?”

Rory blinked and suddenly asked in puzzlement, “Does Brother Anderson not have a fondness for my Raya?”

Jake, Aubree, and Skyler’s faces all took on a green hue.

It seemed as though millions of crows were soaring above them.

Joseph was just sipping his tea when his grandfather’s words caused his chest to swell with rage. He coughed harshly and nearly choked.

Clenching his teacup, the man’s handsome face darkened like a crow.

“Grandfather,” Skyler said, her anger swelling in her chest and her face reddening, “how could Young Master Anderson possibly be fond of Chloe?!”

“He doesn’t like Raya? Even though your grandpa is eighty years old, I have very keen hearing and sharp vision. Last time, when I celebrated my birthday, I noticed how Brother Anderson was paying close attention to my Raya at the birthday feast.”

“He clung so closely to Raya that his eyes couldn’t wait to become one with her. When they eventually formed a family, he would likely be a devoted partner, who would even love his ex-wife after divorce.”

As he spoke, Rory’s shrewd eyes glanced at the glum Joseph. “I noticed that it was a one-sided love, so I initially wanted to set. up Raya and Brother Anderson. Anderson family’s pedigree and Raya were also a good fit.”

“Most importantly, Brother Anderson is kind to Raya. He knows when to be stern and when to be affectionate. He knows how to show her love and care. If Raya and Brother Anderson were to succeed, then they would certainly live more comfortably than before.”

How can Vincent and Chloe achieve comfort and happiness together?!

Joseph almost crushed the teacup he was holding.

His grandfather said nothing, yet he felt every word was a scolding.

Vincent was constantly surrounded by wild bees and butterflies, and when Vincent turned sixteen, he vanished. This scoundrel, who couldn’t even see his own belt, had the audacity to use him and Chloe as a couple? And he even boasted of having sharp ears and bright eyes?!

That makes no sense!

“Grandfather, am I your granddaughter, or is Chloe your granddaughter?”

Skyler was so enraged that she was on the verge of tears. “It’s me who likes Young Master Anderson now, not Chloe! Shouldn’t you be putting in effort for me? Why did you give such an amazing man to her?!”

“Do you think Brother Anderson likes you?” Rory asked seriously.

I…” Skyler’s pupils contracted and she was momentarily at a loss for words.

“At the birthday banquet that day, your grandfather saw everything clearly. You two didn’t exchange a single word the entire evening, aren’t you? Brother Anderson didn’t even glance in your direction, did he?”

Skyler clenched her teeth, feeling a mix of shame and anger.

What her grandfather said was the truth, and she could not deny it.

“Our daughter doesn’t have to enter into a business marriage, but she can’t be so stubborn as to remain aloof. It’s not wise to force a situation, and she might even suffer in the end.”

“Furthermore, your temperaments are incompatible. Brother Anderson has a fiery disposition. If you wed him, you’d be in for a tumultuous union – arguments would be frequent.” Rory shook his head, clearly not enthused about this union.

“Grandpa!” Skyler’s eyes were red and tears were welling up.

“Dad, how can you let Skyler, a girl, respond to this? All females have attractive faces.””

Jake tried to help his daughter. “It’s not that Vincent is unconcerned about Skyler. He made a special trip to our house that day to speak with Skyler, and Aubree and I were both there to witness it.”

Skyler recalled Vincent’s words from that day, causing her heart to sink and her eyes to roll.

No matter how much Vincent hated her, she didn’t care.

Once she married him with the full backing of her family and became the young mistress of the Anderson family, he would be sure to be captivated by her charm and fall in love with her!

“Oh? Is that so?” Rory rubbed his chin.

“Of course, Dad.”

Aubree also added her two cents, saying, “Young Master Anderson is so honorable. When did he ever take the initiative to visit a young lady? He came to replace Skyler, which shows that she’s on his mind. Times have changed.”

“Furthermore, Dad, even though you have noble intentions to pair Miss Thorp and Young Master Anderson, to my knowledge, Miss Thorp has a new beau now.”

Joseph raised his eyes, coldly gazing at Aubree.

His thin lips were tightly shut and his Adam’s apple bobbed rapidly, as if he was struggling to contain his feelings.

Rory was astounded and inquired, “Raya has a beau? Who is it?”

“It’s Director Xavier’s youngest son, the fourth young master of Xavy Group, Jerome,” Aubree hastily replied.

She had gotten this information from Grace previously.

Hearing Skyler say that Chloe and Jerome had been in contact all along, she knew she had to sever her ties with the old man, regardless of whether he was genuine or not.

“Chloe and Jerome are not an item.”

Joseph, no longer able to bear it, slammed his teacup down, his handsome face now clouded with gloom.

“I heard that the two of them had more than one rendezvous in secret. They visited the rose garden to take in the beauty of the blooms and attended a concert…”

“I stated they don’t have it. That means they don’t.”

Joseph’s dark eyes were filled with rage as he icily glared at Aubree, “I hope that before Aunt Bell can comprehend the situation, she won’t babble and fabricate friendships out of thin air.”

“Chloe is a girl, and she is now part of the Thorp family, who are the general managers of KS Hotel. If you spread rumours like this, it will damage her reputation.”

Aubree, speechless, her lips twitching in anger at her stepson, was rendered mute.

“Joseph! What do you mean by this attitude you have when speaking to your elders?”

Before Jake could finish speaking, Joseph had already risen with a frosty atmosphere surrounding him. “I’m finished eating. Everyone, savor your meal.”

Rory watched Joseph’s retreating back, narrowing his eyes meaningfully as his grandson left in a huff.

Joseph, frustrated, tugged at his tie and stepped into the garden for a breath of fresh air.

Ever since his grandfather had expressed his desire to matchmake Vincent and Chloe, Vincent’s heart had been filled with a mixture of excitement and unease, as if he was sitting on pins and needles.

When Aubree declared Jerome was already by Chloe’s side, he felt the air around him become thin, and if he stayed seated, he would be suffocated.

Joseph frowned deeply, reaching into his bosom for a pack of cigarette. ”

The more he pondered, the more his anger and agitation grew. He grab

and placing one between his lips.

his phone and dialed Vincent.

“Joseph, you finally remembered to get in touch with me!”

Vincent’s voice was still languid, with a hint of resentment like a scorned spouse, “Since I was poisoned, you haven’t said you’d come to visit me. Damn… Do you have a pup outside?”

“I’ve got something to share with you.”

Joseph took a deep breath and declared, “Mr. Sawle and his wife are planning to let you wed Skyler.”

“F*ck! XXXX!”

Vincent leapt to the other side of the line and exclaimed, “No, your family is putting on a show in court. Is it really necessary to involve me? What’s wrong with having no boyfriend yet?!”

Joseph narrowed his eyes. “Do you really care who you marry? Didn’t you say that any marriage is the same? It’s just a formality.”

“I said it, but…”

“So why don’t you tie the knot with Skyler? She’s quite fond of you, and you won’t miss out if you wed Sawle Group

“No… brother, don’t you know who Skyler is? I won’t do anything if you mess with her. But how can you expect me to tolerate you throwing me into the muck?!”

“She’s a cow pony,” Joseph said, taking a deep breath and puffing out white mist, “and you’re the King of Hades. If you’re wicked, there’ll be wickedness. She won’t be able to deceive you.”

Vincent, cannot.

Jerome, even more so!

His heart shrinking, he clenched his teeth unwillingly.

He felt like a horsetail whisk, waving around Chloe to drive away all the mosquitoes and flies around her.
