A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased

Chapter 127

No wrong hands in time!

After Alan was caught, Sawle Group took the headlines on the news, then went to the prosecution to take Aubree away. This series of moves were like the momentum of thunder, it did not give Sawle Group any time to react!

“What authority do you have to apprehend me? What evidence do you have?!” Aubree’s countenance darkened. The regal air she had so carefully cultivated suddenly vanished.

Skyler’s face was deathly pale, immobile as if she had been petrified, watching helplessly as her mother was taken away.

“Jake! Save me!” Aubree stretched her neck and shouted, tears streaming down her cheeks onto the green grass.

Jake was so anxious that his face turned red. He wanted to go up and stop them, but he didn’t want to jeopardize his role as the chairman in front of outsiders. Ile could only express his rage to Chloe. “Miss Thorp! What do you think you’re doing?!”

“Director Sawle,” Chloe smiled calmly, “the people who took your wife away are from the prosecutor’s office. Why are you shouting at me?”

“How do you know what’s going to be on the air at three o’clock today? What made you so bold as to say those random things? Is this all your fault?!”

“Our KS family is a big deal, and we have a lot of people in the know. Even the media is aware of this. How can the Thorp family not be in the loop? Director Sawle, you’re overthinking it.” Chloe’s eyes showed a hint of disdain.

Jake flew into a rage out of humiliation. His eyes and muscles trembled. “Miss Thorp, he exclaimed, “you and Joseph split up and didn’t manage to stay together. This isn’t anyone else’s fault! You can only blame yourselves for not having a lasting

bond

The Savor couple was stunned!

The Thorp Group and Sawle Group had a marriage alliance it was so magical! When did this happen?

“Given the divorce, you refrained from expressing your anger towards Sawle Group. Yet, you still caused us trouble both publicly and privately. Don’t you think that’s too unbecoming and short-

Jordan’s chest was so painfully stabbed that it was unbearable to hear, yet he was still determined to stand up for the Young Lady.

Unexpectedly, the dog man stepped forward!

Joseph’s tall, straight figure stood before Chloe, his brows cold as he faced off with Jake.

“Director Sawle, don’t you have any evidence to suggest that Miss Thorp was responsible for all of this? Aren’t you a bit miffed?”

Joseph! Did you really stand up for her?!”

Jake filled his chest with anger, and his eyes were red “You’ve already divorced,” he said, his voice tight with rage. “Now, not only is she unwilling to part ways, she’s even attacking Sawle Group. Why are you defending such a woman?

Joseph’s gaze shifted to Chloe, his brows furrowing slightly. His starry eyes were like a tranquil lake, unreadable and serene.

Chloe’s gaze met his deep one, and she turned away in disgust, her lips curling into a sneer.

Sure enough, this delicate and selfish man had his heart set on Sawle Group’s side.

Jake’s blood coursed through his veins, and he was just like his father in his bones. He was a gullible man, duped by a woman with a sharp mind.

Joseph looked at her and said, “I’m convinced she didn’t do this.”

Chloe was strinned. She slowly turned her face to look at him. At this moment, he turned his head back. “No matter what her marital status is, if she’s been wronged, I’m standing with her.”

Suddenly, the man pursed his thin lips and scowled. “Even if she ain’t divorced, it ain’t your place to teach my wife a lesson.”

Chloe’s white eyelids fluttered as she pursed her red lips and cocked her ears.

It was impossible to listen to; what nonsense!

Jake was so angry that his ears were buzzing and his blood pressure was rising dangerously.

Were there no outsiders present, he would surely hasten to slap this disobedient son!

Upon witnessing Sawle Group and his son quarreling, Chloe felt a strange sense of satisfaction, and she was too apathetic to engage in an argument with Jake.

In any event, the outcome she desired had already been accomplished, and she was just one step away.

“I reckon Director Sawle and Mr. Sawle are gonna be pretty occupied today. I won’t keep you any longer. I’ll be on my way.”

After saying that, Chloe and Jordan spun around and strode towards the shuttle bus.

“Miss Thorp! Hold up, if you pleasel”

“I believe we can have an in-depth discussion about Balin City!” Mayor Savor wiped away his perspiration and hastened to catch up.

“I also believe we should have a chat.”

Chloe gave a slight smile, but her demeanor exuded the haughtiness of someone in a position of power. “I’ll set up a meeting within the next two days stay tuned for my update.”

“Alright! I’ll certainly look forward to it! I’m ready whenever you are!” Mayor Savor’s enthusiasm was so great that it was as if he had been transformed.

“Miss Thorp, if you don’t mind, may I bring my son along? If that young one from my family can get to know you, he’ll be truly honored!” Mrs. Savor had a smile on her face as she hurried over to get close to Chloe.

The daughter of the richest man in Sea Gate, not wanting to curry favor, refused.

Joseph suddenly held his breath, his face as dark as a total solar eclipse. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

This woman should be kept in the golden house, held captive, so that when she goes out, she won’t attract bees and butterflies due to her beauty and conspicuousness, making her an easy target.

“Mrs. Savor, I am grateful for your kindness.”

“But I have already divorced, and my situation is uncomfortable. I don’t plan to get married again anytime soon. It would be best not to postpone your son’s marriage.”

“No way! What’s wrong with divorce? Even if Miss Thorp is divorced, she is still a thousand times better than other beautiful young ladies!”

Skyler’s checks burned upon hearing this. her teeth gritted in batred as she glared at Chloe.

She was like the brilliant morning sun on the horizon, her presence outshining all else.

Chloe retreated successfully from the ferry, leaving a pile of chicken hair and mess behind for Sawle Group.

“Director Sawle, I believe we should forgo the collaboration with Balin City this time. In the future, we can collaborate when something suitable for the project arises.”

Mayor Savor, after saying that, quickly departed with his wife.

If a problem arose with the project he recruited for, he would be responsible for covering the costs.

Just as Jake was in a terrible mood, he discovered his son had vanished without a trace.

Changing out of her youthful and beautiful golf outfit, Chloe re-emerged from the locker room as a noble and elegant lady. her black hair lifted.

As she spun around, she collided with a towering iceberg exuding a chill.

Chloe’s chest suddenly quivered, and she raised her lovely eyes to meet Joseph’s icy stare, yet she was not afraid.

“Mr. Sawle, when did you start the hobby of peeping in the women’s locker room?”

“Chloe, I’m not going to assign you Balin City’s project.”

Joseph’s throat rumbled. Her mocking and upturned lips were like a small hook, igniting a dark flame in his heart. “This project is part of the Sawle Group. If you try to meddle, I won’t let you get away with it.”

“Yes, but what can you do? Right now, Sawle Group’s plight is trending. With the Bell siblings’ case, the prosecution will certainly investigate Sawle Group.”

“Can’t you sign a contract while the investigation is going on? Even if you want to keep this project, you won’t be able to turn things around,” Chloe said with a smirk.

“Chloe, you keep insisting that we have no connection after the divorce, but what are you doing now?”

Joseph spun around, his long arms propping up the wall, effectively pinning Chloe beneath his heaving chest. “Do you think you’ll feel better if you keep fighting me, beating me? Is that how you’ll get rid of the anger in your heart?!”

“Ah, so you believe that as well?”

“Since you agree, why bother pretending to be a righteous person and speak up for me?” Chloe’s lips curved like a cold moon, and her eyes shot out a frigid glint that pierced his chest.

“You don’t know how esteemed and respected you are. Don’t you know it’s very disgusting?”

Joseph clenched his teeth, unable to contain the rage boiling in his heart.

In addition to anger, there was also a feeling of grievance.

No matter what he did, this woman always seemed to find the most cutting words to pierce his heart.

“Chloe, don’t make me put my hands on you.”

Joseph stretched his peach blossom eyes and approached her beautiful and charming face. “Just because we’ve been married for three years doesn’t mean I’m going to let you off the hook for what you’ve done in the business world!”

“You are no different than the others!”

Chloe blinked her eyes. She wasn’t mad at all; rather, she was a bit thrilled. “That’s correct, Mr. Sawle. If I go with black, you have to go with white. Otherwise, it’d be so dull.”

“By the way, I’ve got something I want to share with you.”

She tiptoed and whispered softly into his ear.

Joseph was obviously resentful, yet when he heard her chuckle, his cheeks and ears flushed and his enthusiasm was difficult to quell.

“I presented the proof of Alan’s wrongdoing to the prosecutors, and I also disseminated the news to the press.”

“To be frank, you should really be grateful to me. Unfortunately, there’s nothing I can do about your haughty stepmother’s ambition to join the board of directors.”

His brain hummed, and his heart felt as if it had been sliced by a dull blade.

“The business world is like a battleground. Mr. Sawle, if you don’t demonstrate your capacity to assess the situation, you be utterly defeated. To show my respect for you, I will be even more relentless than I am now.”

Chloe’s smile suddenly fading, she pushed him away with a regal air and strode away carefree.

Only Joseph was the one standing there, his eyes red.

He felt suffocated despite the air all around.
