Chapter 168
Chapter 168 Chloe looked at him in a daze. “You… How could you be here?” Jordan, who was standing at the back, saw Jerome appear again like a ghost. His heart sank and he secretly clenched his fists. “They told me that only Miss Thorp could take this elevator, so I waited here.” Jerome smiled gently and talked to him. “I’m not talking about this. I’m talking about why you came to me?” Chloe frowned. “Tonight, isn’t my father going to visit Uncle Thorp’s house? Aren’t you going back to Sea Gate?” “That’s why I’m here to pick you up. Let’s go back to Sea Gate together.” Chloe pursed her red lips, feeling suspicious. There was nothing wrong with these words. But it was not like there was nothing wrong with it. “Fourth Young Master Xavier specially came to pick me up, but my big brother has already made an appointment with me. He should be arriving soon. I will go home with him.” “See you tonight, Tong Garden.” Chloe smiled politely. “I have already expressed my intention to come and pick you up with President Thorp. He agreed, so he won’t come.” Jerome looked calm and collected. “What?” Chloe’s beautiful eyes were wide open, and she was no longer calm. “You and my family are old friends. Uncle Thorp is my father and my brother. You and I grew up together from childhood friends. This kind of relationship… President Thorp should not be worried. I kidnapped you.” Although, he really wanted to kidnap her. He truly wanted to whisk her away, bring her back, pamper her, protect her, and love her… to let her become his forever and exclusive treasure. “Then… alright, I’ll have to trouble you to make a trip.”
Chloe was still very polite to him. This kind of politeness was to make the relationship between them appropriate and not lose sense. Big brother was really too much. He used to care for her so much, like a mother hen protecting her chicks, but this time he seemed careless, just pushing her into the arms of another man! Could it be that he also learned from Stefan and wanted to sell her out? What if Jerome is a beast with a crown and has a me ntal disorder? Chloe sighed silently, thinking that she was really dirty and rotten to not think well of people. He was her savior “Don’t bother. I’m always very free when it comes to you, Miss Thorp.” Jerome smiled brightly. Chloe was already used to this man’s teasing way of speaking. She did not think too much about it and walked side by side with him.
“Young miss!” Jordan’s heart ached and he hurriedly called out to her. Both of them stopped in their tracks. Chloe’s beautiful eyes were filled with hope as she asked in confusion, “What’s wrong, Jordan?” At this time, Jerome adjusted his glasses. His dark phoenix eyes narrowed and he slowly glanced at Jordan behind him. Jordan felt a sharp pain in his heart, and his back stiffened. “Big sis, I…” “Oh, right, I almost forgot about it since you didn’t mention it.” “You don’t have to follow me anymore. You can get off work early. You’ve been exhausted recently. Go back and have a good rest tonight.” After that, they left in front of him. Jordan’s shoulders sank, and he recalled Jerome’s hidden and creepy cold eyes. He felt a chill run up his spine and wrap him up like he was in a cellar. Chloe and Jerome walked side by side in the lobby, quickly attracting the attention of all the hotel employees.
“Wow! Look! President Thorp changed her pet! There is finally a male creature besides Secretary Stewart!” “Really! And he’s so handsome! Secretary Stewart has been defeated!” 1/4 11:21 Chapter 168 “Secretary Stewart and this gentleman are two completely different styles, okay? This is the vampire count of the nobility, and Secretary Stewart is the sunny Korean drama oppa. It is impossible to compare with each other!” “I vote for Secretary Stewart!” “I vote for the vampire handsome!” “Only a child is making a choice. Adults want all!” Outside the hotel, Jerome’s private car had been waiting for a long time. The secretary opened the door respectfully. Just as Chloe was about to get in the car, the man suddenly pulled her arm gently. “Miss Thorp.” “What’s wrong, Fourth Young Master?” Chloe looked at him in surprise. Jerome’s eyes were overflowing with love. He gently curved his lips and took out a brand-new and clean white silk handkerchief from his bosom. He reached out to wipe the lipstick that had flown out of her lips. However, this time, Chloe did not let him succeed. Her almond eyes flashed and she immediately took out the handkerchief from his palm. “I can do it myself.” Jerome’s eyes narrowed. He only smiled and did not say anything. The top notch car drove away from the door of the KS WORLD. At the same time, on the other side of the road, the black Lamborghini window slowly rolled down, revealing Joseph’s carved handsome face.

His thin lips were closed, and his cold eyes were slightly red. He looked at the fading Binli without blinking. Thinking of the figures of Chloe and Jerome, the man’s heart twitched violently like lightning, and all the blood vessels in his body flowed with a bone-piercing chill. He had not closed his eyes for two days and two nights, and it was useless to take sleeping pills. Since the day they parted at the concert, Joseph had been absent-minded. He, who had always been highly focused on work, had slipped away during the meeting. The reports reported that he had entered from his left ear to his right ear. He didn’t know why he was like this, but he knew that it was Chloe who caused him to lose sleep. So today, he didn’t even tell Max. He drove alone to the door of the KS WORLD, waiting from afternoon until now. It was undeniable that he wanted to see Chloe. Just to let himself have a complete sleep, he wanted to see Chloe. However, when he saw that Chloe was still with Jerome, his head was greatly stimulated, and it hurt so much that even his vision became dazed. Whether or not he had recovered from his insomnia, he still did not know. But this scene was about to make him have a heart attack! Joseph’s eyes, which were red from the pain, sank heavily. He gritted his teeth and stepped on the accelerator to the end. The sports car was like an arrow that left the bow, speeding out and catching up. Tonight, Tong Garden became prosperous again, and the serv ants were busy preparing to entertain the guests. In response to Stefan’s call, the children who could make time to come back came back. Oscar, Riley, and Seventh Young Master Marble were already in Tong Garden, and Chloe was on the way back. Because Kiran really had important classes to attend, and it was not an important gathering, Sia still asked her to focus on her studies, so she did not ask for leave. “Sigh, it’s another gloomy night again.”
Riley sat in the living room holding a teacup, looked at Oscar from left to right, looked at Marble from right, and shook his head, “Why is it that only you two bachelors are here? Why is it so hard to meet my sisters?” “Second brother, you should be content. Our team just broke a big case recently, and the director approved two days off for us.” Marble was lounging on the sofa, his head resting on his arms. He was wearing a leather jacket, his manga legs casually crossed. After a long stint in the police force, he had lost the air of a wealthy and influential young master. 2/4 11:21 Chapter 168 As the youngest son of the Thorp family, he bore a striking resemblance to Stefan, with thick eyebrows, deer-like eyes, a prominent nose bridge, and plump lips. His skin had taken on a healthy wheat hue after long exposure to the sun, and his large eyes shone brightly like stars. “What kind of logic is this? It’s too greasy.” Riley gave a oon. “Good logic.” Suddenly, with a bang…. Oscar and Riley were both stunned. They had not figured out the situation yet. They saw Marble lying on the sofa with a normal expression, but suddenly raised his arm and grabbed a walnut that had flown over from nowhere. Wow! Was this the reaction speed of a human?! “Hehe! Mom, you really love me. You know that I like to eat walnuts and picked a big one for me.” Marble sat up from the sofa and placed the walnuts on the tea table. He immediately smashed the walnuts with a palm and picked up the walnuts with a smile. “You don’t look like you’re sitting or standing! Look at how you have the temperament of the Young Master from the Thorp family. Did you go to be a police officer or went to the underworld to be a spy for
ten years” With one hand on her waist, Helena angrily walked to her youngest son with an expression of disappointment. “Bad, isn’t that the same?” “Mom, I haven’t eaten enough. Is there anything else?” Marble bared his white teeth and reached out to his mother while chewing on walnut kernels. “What are you wearing? Hurry up and change my clothes before you come down!” “I don’t care what you usually do in the police force. When you come back here, you will be Thorp family’s seventh young master. You have to wear something that fits your identity!” Helena was a well- educated lady. “Don’t embarrass your father!” In the study room, Stefan sat on the retroleather sofa with a pair of presbyopic glasses on his handsome nose, looking at the photos in his hands. The main characters in the photo were Chloe and Jerome. “According to your instructions, I have been secretly sending people to pay attention to the blind date situation of Young Mistress.” Secretary Jared reported respectfully, “None of the other people on the list have been contacted by Eldest Young Lady. On the other hand, she has a close relationship with this young master from the Xavier family.” Stefan repeatedly looked through these photos and almost smashed them. After hearing this, he asked in a deep voice, “This kid from the Xavier family… did he make a move on my Chloe? Did he do anything out of line?” “No, Fourth Young Master Xavier is a gentle and refined person. When he gets along with Eldest Young Lady, he knows his limits and is very gentlemanly.” “Yes.” Stefan pondered for a moment and did not say anything else. At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Third Madam’s gentle voice came from outside. “Stefan, Director Xavier and Xavier family Second Young Master are here.”
