A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased

Chapter 121

Chloe clenched her fists on the cabinet door. She took a deep breath and her eyes were red with rage. “I’ve said all I need to. If you don’t believe me, I’m done talking!”

“Have we met before, a while back?”

“Chloe, answer me,” Joseph said eagerly, leaning towards her and almost covering her beautiful back. “Have we met a long time ago?”

Chloe’s heart suddenly constricted, and her rosy lips instantly paled. “You’re overthinking it. When Grandfather arranged the marriage, that was the first time we ever laid eyes on each other. We have never met before then.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

She feared Joseph would recognize her as the little girl he had rescued ten years prior.

By the time the marriage had ended, the love and pursuit of the previous thirteen years had already been lost. If she were to recall it again, all she would get was a feeling of pity and sadness.

Chloe wanted to save her face, she did not want to reveal that she had been in love with the dog man for thirteen years.

It was too humiliating.

Joseph had a hint of disappointment in his eyes, wishing that the reality could have been different.

“Release it. Allow me to take the items. I’m departing.” Chloe’s voice quavered slightly as she yanked the cupboard door with determination.

“Chloe, you…”

“No more questions! That’s enough!”

Chloe suddenly seemed to have been struck by the most tender nerve. Her voice suddenly became sharp, “We have already split up. Joseph, do you comprehend the meaning of the word divorce?!”

“What’s the point of delving into the past like this? Even if I used to be madly in love with you, so what? I don’t love you anymore. Seeing all these things I gave you makes me feel nauseous!”

Madly in love.

Joseph heard nothing else but these three words reverberating in his mind over and over again.

His breath sank as his big hand grabbed her round shoulder and swiftly turned her small body to face him.

The man was taken aback to discover that her eyes were glowing red.

“If you want to cry,” Joseph said, his voice still taut, but his eyes gentler than before, “you can go ahead and do so.”

“Ah, cry? Can’t you tell I’m so angry? Divorcing you would be a great thing. I’m laughing so hard I’m about to wake up even in my dreams!”

Chloe’s voice was icy as her chest heaved up and down. “When I signed the divorce agreement, I vowed to myself that I would never shed a single tear for you – not ever.”

Joseph’s heart was pierced by each of the last few words, one after the other.

He was about to speak when a knock sounded at the door.

“Mr. Sawle, are you in there?”

The butler said respectfully. “Miss Brown is here, awaiting you downstairs. You see…”

In an instant, Chloe’s vision went dark.

It was evident that this man’s face had taken on a gloomy expression.

Grace was downstairs, anxiously waiting.

Hiding in the dark, the maids whispered among themselves.

Everyone knew Mr. Sawle’s ex-wife was here, if Grace encountered her, it was sure to be another battleground!

“Brother Joseph!”

A soon as Grace saw Joseph walking down the stairs with an expressionless face, she rushed over and embraced his waist.

Josephi instinctively tried to push her away, yet she clung to him tightly, as if she were a drowning person desperately

clinging to a piece of driftwood.

“Brother Joseph… I miss you so much… I truly miss you!”

Grace detected the recognizable smell of fir on the man and went wild. She couldn’t help but feel a pang of sorrow in her heart. “I was wrong… I realize that now…”

“I was so enraged that I made the wrong decision… Brother Joseph, you know my character! We grew up together!”

Grace, unable to think of any better ideas, resorted to playing the love card.

She wanted to follow Aubree’s advice and not reach out to Joseph until he had calmed down.

Upon learning that Chloe had re-entered the house, she could not remain seated and rushed to the Sawle family.

“Grace.”

“I already stated that we shouldn’t get together for the time being. You should head back.”

“Why?!” Grace asked with tears in her eyes, tears falling from her eyes.

Just like the female lead in a melodrama, she was taught by Aubree that men liked this most.

“That’s correct, why?”

The sound of a clear spring cascading into the river suddenly echoed from upstairs.

Everyone glanced over and saw Chloe nonchalantly carrying a suitcase, her beautiful and delicate lower jaw raised in composure as she descended the stairs.

In contrast to Grace, who was tearful and seemingly ill-fated, Chloe appeared so composed and elegant.

Grace tightly embraced Joseph, and a cold glint flashed in the depths of her eyes, piercing Chloe’s smiling countenance.

Everyone was excited as the dog blood had arrived at eight o’clock!

Joseph’s eyes darkened as he put his hands on Grace’s shoulders, pushing her away.

In Chloe’s eyes, the two of them were like honey oil, warm and intimate.

No wonder Joseph wanted her to come home, for without her presence, she would have missed out on such a great show.

Chloe, at this moment, wanted nothing more than to go home and take a bath, change her clothes, and burn incense. She had to discard her current clothes.

Joseph had previously touched her, and she felt it was unclean!

“Miss Brown is your betrothed. She traveled all this way to find you. Why won’t you meet with her? Tsk tsk, what a callous heart.”

“Miss Brown, don’t get the wrong idea. I’m here to collect my belongings. I’m off now. You all can keep going” Chloe gave Grace a smile.

“A spring night is fleeting and harsh. I wish you all the best from dawn till dusk.”

Joseph choked, his handsome face turning white and black as his blood boiled in his chest.

Grace’s heart broke from hating Chloe so much, yet she had only embarrassed herself at her grandfather’s birthday banquet, so she didn’t dare to argue with Chloe again.

“Ah, right. I don’t want any of the items I left here, particularly those I gave to Mr. Sawle. Please come in and take care of the rubbish in the future. I heard it’s bad luck to keep the belongings of the previous

occupant, which could have a negative impact on the marriage.”

Chloe, after having been given a simple explanation, picked up the box and strode past them.

Grace and all the servants were dumbfounded

Upon seeing her ex-husband, not only was the former young madam not jealous, but she was also beaming with smiles. She was truly an admirable person!

Joseph, unable to bear the sight of Chloe walking out of the villa door, abruptly pushed away Grace’s embrace and ran after Chloe with long strides.

“Ah! Brother Joseph!”

Joseph inch by inch sent Grace flying, and she miserably lay on the coffee cups and plates were shattered on the ground, her wrists were cut, and her skirt was ripped.

As Skyler watched from upstairs, she saw the three people beco

She kept going, as if she hadn’t heard it.

“Mr. Sawle! I’ve purchased Young Madam’s shoes!”

Max returned, sweat dripping from his forehead, a luxury bag clutched in his hand.

Joseph caught up with him in three steps, grabbed the bag, and blocked Chloe’s way.

He handed her the shoes and said, “Here you go.”

Chloe glanced down, grabbed the item, and without a word, brushed

past him.

Joseph’s eyes darkened as his heart slowly sank to the realization of the truth.

She had never before experienced anything from him, and a feeling of contentment gradually rose up within him.

However, the next second.

Bang!

Joseph was taken aback.

Helplessly watching. Chloe swung her arm with all her might and, without even glancing at them, threw the shoes worth tens of thousands of dollars into the garbage bin.

Max felt as if a hand had suddenly clamped around his neck, leaving him unable to breathe.

He could clearly see it even with just a glance.

Mr. Sawle’s expression was one of utter devastation, as if the land had been scorched by a raging firestorm…
