A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased

Chapter 219

“Jordan, take this bottle of Lafite to be opened.” Chloe raised her eyebrows slightly and took the phone from Jordan’s hand.

Jordan felt a pang of disappointment deep inside, knowing that Miss was telling him to back off.

“I know what you’re thinking, Jordan. Although I and Joseph had a failed marriage and I genuinely dişlike him, it’s not like we won’t have any contact in the future.”

Chloe’s beautiful eyes curved with a sense of understanding as she patted his shoulder. “In the future, I need to establish myself in Medo, and as we expand KS, I’ll undoubtedly have to deal with him. When the enemy comes, we’ll stand our ground, when the water flows, we’ll cover the earth.”

“But, Miss…”

“What are you afraid of? Afraid he’ll eat me? If he dares to touch a single strand of my hair, your big brother doesn’t need to get involved, your fourth brother can make him disappear from Medo without a trace.” She snorted, not taking it seriously.

No, it’s not like that.

I deeply admire you, and I’m not afraid to sacrifice my life for you.

I’m just afraid that your old feelings for Joseph will be rekindled. I can’t bear to watch you jump into the fire pit again.

Jordan sighed with frustration and picked up the red wine.

Chloe saw her phone in her palm still vibrating persistently, not behaving as it should, which perfectly matched Joseph’s stubborn and unyielding character.

“Mr. Sawle, what can I do for you?” She answered with her usual cold indifference.

“Thank you for the cake; it was delicious.”

Chloe’s breathing became lighter, and her long eyelashes drooped slightly.

In the dead of night, all was silent.

Joseph’s voice was magnetic, low and mellow, with a hint of depth that could easily enchant the heart.

She used to enjoy calling him, and she loved hearing his voice. Even if he was distant, she would still get excited under the

covers.

But now, her heart remained silent.

Her self-control was always strong. She could quit any addiction, even her emotional addiction.

“Don’t mention it. I hope Mr. Sawle can remember next time before meddling in other people’s business and understand the symbolism behind the dog-head cake.” Chloe’s tone turned cold, and her eyes revealed a chilling intent.

“I don’t think I was meddling in other people’s business.”

Joseph’s tone became serious. “Your situation isn’t someone else’s business.”

Chloe smirked, showing no gratitude. “Indeed, it’s not someone else’s business. After all, even when slaughtering pigs, you need a butcher’s knife. With my sharp blade unsheathed, I can help you cut

down Skyler’s arrogance.”

“If she really manages to rise to the position of General Manager at the Sawle Group Hotel after this opportunity, your stepmother will have her hands full again. You certainly wouldn’t want your situation within the Sawle Group Group to become difficult.”

Joseph listened to her words, his brows furrowed deeply.

The previous Raya had placed him at the center of her heart, caring for him in every way, and wholeheartedly looking after him.

But now, with Chloe, her words were sharp and her actions more like a top general, planning tactics and strategies.

Yet, even though she was this kind of woman who had brought him to misery, he couldn’t forget her, and he couldn’t let her

1.

So, how many steps are there from being a scumbag to a despicable man?

“Chloe, do you think I care about Aubree and her daughter? They’re under my nose, and they can’t make much trouble. Otherwise, what was the point of me being the CEO of the Sawle Group Group for all these years?”

Joseph remained silent for a moment, struggling to find words to say.

Chloe tightened her grip on her fingers, the knuckles producing a faint cracking sound. “Joseph, I suggest that from now on, you stop meddling in my affairs. This is my final advice to you as your ex- wife.”

“When I get ruthless, not even the mosquitoes passing by would dare to approach. If I start dealing with someone, I may

harm others in the process, dragging you into it. Don’t blame me for being unrelenting.”

“What you want to do, go ahead and do it.”

Joseph’s voice, magnetic and pleasing, caressed her ear like a night breeze. “In other aspects, I can’t intervene, but with me at the helm of Sawle Group, who can touch you?”

Chloe furrowed her eyebrows, finding his words…as if stinky tofu had been mixed with ice cream, making for a flavor that could only be described as bizarre.

The air suddenly grew quiet.

Both of them, in perfect harmony, remained silent.

After a brief pause, Joseph cleared his throat and hastily concluded, “I have nothing else to discuss. Goodnight.””

“Hey! What are you-”

Before Chloe could finish her sentence, the call was abruptly ended.

“What nonsense is he talking about, afte

just a few drinks?” Chloe looked at the darkened screen in bewilderment and shook

her head.

Meanwhile, on the other end…

After ending the call, Joseph realized his palm was sweaty, his mouth dry, and his heartbeat irregular.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and murmured to himself, “The one who abandoned me yesterday cannot stay. The one who unsettles my heart today brings many worries…”

***

After a severe car accident, Shelby fell into a deep coma and showed no signs of waking up.

Skyler had heard from the doctor that she was essentially in a vegetative state, and the chances of her waking up were extremely slim.

It seemed like the heavens were truly on her side!

Otherwise, exposing the KS WORLD contract through Shelby’s bribery would have been difficult to conceal.

While that trouble had been resolved, Skyler’s situation had not improved.

Last time, Ada Wang had been quite clear about her stance. She wouldn’t sign a contract unless Joseph got involved. Rumors were spreading that Ada’s team was already considering other hotels, making it clear that she wasn’t limited to the Thorp and Sawle partnership.

One afternoon, Skyler visited the Anderson family again.

She was frantic, pacing around like an ant on a hot pan, while Zoey remained calm, sipping her afternoon tea.

“As for Ada Wang, what’s your plan?”

“Previously, that woman set a bizarre condition, requiring both Sawle Group and KS to find top-tier jewelry for her! My second brother had been trying to get Alexa to make an appearance, even going abroad to invite her.”

Zoey’s eyes sparkled when she heard this.

“All because of that, at the welcome banquet, Chloe was able to captivate Ada Wang with just a small brooch!”

Skyler was frustrated and stomped her foot. “It’s infuriating! Just thinking about it makes me mad! If only I had Alexa’s jewelry, I wouldn’t have so many problems!”

“Well, who says you don’t?” Zoey said enigmatically.

Skyler was suddenly surprised. “What do you mean, Zoey? Don’t tell me… you’ve obtained Alexa’s jewelry?!”

“As far as I know, Alexa is an incredibly mysterious woman. She hasn’t shown her face to the public even now. Very few people have seen her jewelry.”

“So, why not make a replica and privately gift it to her?” Zoey said casually.

“What?! You mean you want me to give Ada Wang a fake?!”

Skyler was shocked, her eyes wide. “If it’s discovered, I’d be humiliated!” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Tsk, how could it be found out? You can’t even distinguish the authenticity of a painting at an auction, let alone a piece of jewelry. It’s just a bunch of stones, after all. Unless the master is present, who could tell?”

Zoey leaned forward slightly, speaking in a low voice, “Moreover, when I was studying in Puplen, I met a jewelry designer who, you might not believe it, was once Alexa’s personal apprentice.”

“I can have him replicate a piece of Alexa’s jewelry for you to present to Ada Wang. She’ll undoubtedly be thrilled to

cooperate with you.”

Skyler was still skeptical of Zoey’s idea.

However, with little time left and no other options, she had to take a chance.
