A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased

Chapter 308

Chapter 308

Tonight, Stefan and her eldest brother were not at home. They went abroad to discuss projects. Most of the family members were women. In name, Jerome was not a stranger. At this moment, it was late at night. Everyone was watching over Sia. She did not want to disturb her family, so she took Jerome to the tea room.

Unexpectedly, Fran was drinking tea in the tea room alone.

“Sixth sister, you haven’t rested yet.”

“Ah, this is my friend…” Chloe introduced.

“Fourth Young Master Xavier family, Mr. Jerome. I saw him at Sia’s birthday banquet last time. I remember.”

Fran put down the teacup gracefully and smiled at Jerome. “In our family, except for a few brothers, there has never been a male friend around her. Fourth Young Master Xavier is the first one.”

“It is my honor to choose me as her friend.”

“It’s my honor to have a chance to meet the future Mrs. President of Stoeyae alone,” Jerome said sincerely.

Chloe was a little surprised. She didn’t expect him to say that.

“I’m just Chloe’s sister, and my husband is just an ordinary member of the council. I can’t bear what you say,” Fran said calmly.

Jerome curled her lower lip and declined to comment.

“Chloe, you entertain the guests. I won’t disturb you.” Fran slowly stood

1.

Although Chloe was smiling, she clearly felt that the atmosphere between sixth sister and Jerome was not right, but she could not tell what was

wrong.

Fran retreated to the outside of the tea room.

As soon as she closed the door, her expression darkened. She took out her phone from the pocket of her jacket and dialed her assistant’s number.

“I asked you to check. Have you found anything?”

“Madam, I have checked. The background information about Jerome has been sent to your private email.”

Since it was getting late, Jerome didn’t want to disturb him, so he just sat down and went back.

After returning to the car, Secretary Dyer immediately smiled and said, “Director Xavier, Miss Thorp treats you better. Not only did she accept your gift, she also invited you in to sit.”

“Let’s go.” Jerome pushed up his glasses, his expression not very happy.

Chloe neither accepted his gift nor invited him in to sit.

Everything was still the same as before. Everything was his own initiative, to fight for, and he had always been willing.

Chloe had never taken a step forward to him.

“Joseph has now been completely abandoned by Miss Thorp and has been completely eliminated. Looking at Miss Thorp, there is no second man who is more outstanding than you. You and Miss Thorp will definitely be able to achieve good results!”

Jerome’s cold and slender hand loosened the knot on his tie and asked lightly, “Do you mean that I am not as outstanding as Joseph?”

Secretary Dyer shivered in fear, “This servant doesn’t dare! Director Xavier, please forgive me!”

“Chloe might have let go of Joseph, but Joseph hasn’t really let go of her, so we can’t let our guard down.”

As he spoke, Jerome looked out the window with a dark gaze.

“Oh right, Director Xavier, I have some clues about what you wanted me to investigate.” Secretary Dyer said with a gloomy face.

“Speak.”

“Last time, you and Miss Thorp were attacked at the horse track. Someone did something to the horse. Our people tested the blood

-sample of the horse and found a stimulant drug that could interfere with

the brain nerves of animals.”

“Not only that, our people also secretly conducted a carpet style search inside and outside the horse track. In the end, we found this in the garbage bin.”

Secretary Dyer took out a plastic bag from her handbag, which contained a syringe. “After checking the surveillance camera, I found that… the

10:23

culprit was indeed Second Young Master’s man.”

Jerome half closed his eyes, and his eyes were full of ridicule. “Patt and Koda are both born bad seeds. Patt doesn’t have his brother’s skills. He doesn’t do things cleanly and can’t be put on the table.

“This kind of fool is not worthy of me to deal with him.”

“Then we can’t just let it go like this. It’s too cowardly!” Secretary Dyer gritted his teeth. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Of course not.”

“He broke one of my ribs, and I broke three of his. He broke one of my arms, and I want one of his legs. It’s not too much, is it?” Jerome said calmly.

Secretary Dyer said hurriedly, “Not too much, absolutely not too much! You don’t kill him, it’s already for the sake of being brothers.!”

Brother?

He is worthy?

Jerome chuckled and shook his finger.

“If the one who was injured at that time was Chloe, how could I have kept Patt’s life until now?”

Chloe took a shower, and after making exquisite skincare from head to toe, his heavy mood eased a little.

“Chloe, are you asleep?” Fran’s voice came from outside the door.

“Sixth sister! Come in!”

Fran opened the door and entered.

Chloe patted her cheeks and turned around. She saw her sister wearing a light blue silk nightgown. Her clear eyes were smiling, her skin was white and smooth, and she was like a full sea blue gem.

“Yoo! The most beautiful first lady is here!”

“Chloe, where did you get a horse? It’s golden and shiny, even brighter than the lights in the yard. It almost blinded my eyes.” Fran was curious. “Oh, it’s Jerome’s horse.” Chloe continued to massage her face, acting like an exquisite girl.

“Is it his horse, or is it the horse he gave you?”

“It’s his. He wants to give it to me, but I don’t want it.”

“The animal you like the most is the horse. He gave you a Ferghana horse, but you can resist such a great temptation. It seems… you really want to draw a clear line with him.”

Fran nodded thoughtfully and muttered to himself, “This way, I can be at ease…”

Unexpectedly, the young lady had very sharp ears and heard it, “Sixth sister, what did you say? Why?”

“I can see that Fourth Young Master Xavier likes you very much. The way he looks at you is full of affection.”

When Chloe thought of this, she felt a headache. “I know, he confessed to me. What should I do? Is there a book in the world called ‘How to stop emitting charm’ or ‘How to stop men from being interested in you?”

“I am now excited about dating. If this goes on, I can only shave my hair and become a nun.”

“Why? Because Mr. Sawle injured you?” Fran teased softly.

“Hmph, that at most, I’ll be bitten by a dog! Ah, it hurts!”

Chloe thought about Joseph in her heart, and the strength in her hand was a bit heavy, making her face swollen.

“When Auntie Freya saw that horse, she was so happy that she was riding in the backyard.” Fran smiled and changed the topic.

“What? Freya rode that horse?”

Chloe suddenly got up from the chair and widened her eyes. “I haven’t ridden it before!”

“Hey. You usually give away jewelry worth tens of millions, but you can’t bear to let her ride a horse?”

Just then, Freya’s heroic shout came from outside the window,

“Yah-! Hahahahaha!”

“Alright, as long as she’s happy.” Chloe held her forehead.

Fran slowly sat on the sofa, pursed her lips, and hesitated to speak. “Sixth sister, you must have something to tell me so late at night, right?” Chloe walked over and sat down next to her. She hugged her arm tightly and asked in a low voice, “Is it related to Jerome?”

“I remember that when Fourth Young Master Xavier was a child, he came to be a passer-by. You seem to have a good relationship with him.” Fran

asked lightly.

“Yes, when we were in primary school, we were classmates.”

Chloe narrowed her beautiful eyes, lost in her memories. “At that time, he was bullied by his classmates. I helped him out of trouble. He was grateful to me, so he stuck to me in school and after school. He was as small as a bum beetle.”

“When I was a child, because of my family background, no classmates in the class played with me. They all distanced themselves from me. I could. only be tied to him and be their playmate.”

“To be honest, that childhood time… was actually quite happy. Later, he` went to Stoeyae with Mrs. Xavier. We didn’t contact each other for fifteen years.”

“We haven’t contacted each other for fifteen years, which means that he has appeared again. To you, he is a completely unfamiliar person.” Fran’s eyes were deep and thoughtful.

“Yes, I didn’t recognize him at first sight. In the past, he was white and tender, like a little girl. Now he is tall and handsome, and the world is ideal.”

“Then do you think he is handsome, or Mr. Sawle is handsome?” Fran winked at her mischievously.

“Sixth sister, did Mr. Sawle give you a red packet in private? Why do you keep mentioning him? Bad luck!” Chloe’s heart tightened, and she pouted gloomily.

“Chloe, sister is not against you making friends. Director Xavier and father are good brothers, and his son will definitely not bully you. It’s just…”

Fran thought of Jerome’s file that she sent someone to investigate, and her expression was a little gloomy. “This Fourth Young Master Xavier is far from as simple as he looks. I investigated his background in private. His business in Stoeyae is very big, and his scope of involvement is very wide and complicated.”

“Stoeyae’s social situation is not as simple as our side. Black and astringent society and drugs are repeatedly banned. It is already not strange for officials and merchants to collude openly. After your brother-in-law takes office, the first thing he has to solve is the drug trade and the corruption problem.”

When Chloe heard this, she couldn’t help but worry in her heart, “Sister,

10:23

then the road you and brother-in-law will take in the future will probably be very difficult!”

“Don’t change the topic.”

Fran’s expression gradually turned serious. “In Stoeyae, it is impossible for his business to reach the scale of Jerome.”

“I also heard that… because he was involved in poison, he was secretly summoned by the prosecution, but in the end, he was acquitted because of lack of evidence.”

“What did you say?” Chloe’s pupils shrank.

“Although there was no evidence, he eventually returned safely and was not convicted. But there was no wind and no waves. Since he was investigated, it meant that he was seriously suspected.”

“At that time, the one who interrogated him was your brother-in-law’s student. He was the most upright and selfless person. He would not be bribed by anyone, nor would he slander anyone for no reason.”

Fran clenched her sister’s hand tightly, and her eyes were filled with worry. “Chloe, it’s fine if you are just an ordinary friend. It’s better not to get too close to this kind of person who is dangerous.”

Chloe’s long eyelashes trembled. After pondering for a while, she nodded lightly. “Sister, I am an adult. I have experienced great storms and waves. I have seen the most brutal battlefield and the darkest human nature.”

“I’ll remember what you said. I know what I’m doing.”

Five days later. Evening.

Mazeland Manor drove into a row of black luxury cars. His head and tail were connected in front of the villa.

The first to come down were several bodyguards in black, with golden badges on their chests, symbolizing that they were Anderson Group’s people.

“Young miss! Please!”

“Madam! Please!”

“Mr. Anderson! Please!”

The doors of the three cars opened at the same time, and Zoey and her mother got out of the car first.

“Grandpa!”

10:23

Maddox’s hair was graying, and he wore a graceful and luxurious black grass. He leaned on a golden eagle head cane and stepped out of the car with a cold face under the support of Zoey.

“Dad, slow down.” Madam Anderson also hurried to greet him.

Maddox stared coldly at the door of Sawle family’s villa and gasped for breath. “Last time, when you came over to talk about marriage, that boy of Sawle family didn’t show his face from beginning to end?”

Madam Anderson bit her lip and nodded in shame. “Yes.”

“Why are you so useless?”

Zoey secretly pursed her lips, as if expressing her dissatisfaction with her mother.

“You have also heard of Sawle family and Second Young Master’s character. The things he is unwilling to do, even if Director Sawle shows up, it will be useless. That Aubree is still his stepmother and won’t be of any use.” Madam Anderson’s heart trembled as he explained in a low voice.

Ever since his husband passed away, their room had always been supported by Vincent.

Without her son, Maddox would not even put her in his eyes.

“You are Zoey’s mother. Your own daughter was bullied, and you are actually angry because of your incompetence. You can’t do anything.” Maddox was furious. He used his cane to hit the ground. “We,

Anderson family, are also a top family in Medo. No one dares to provoke us. Now, just because of a bastard, you actually want me, an old man, to personally come out and settle it. Is this what you said to be filial to me?”

“Dad, it’s all my fault… It’s my fault.” Madam Anderson lowered her head and could only continuously admit her mistakes.

“Grandfather, Mommy has also tried her best. Don’t blame her.” Zoey held onto Huo Old Master’s arm and spoke on her mother’s behalf Lobediently.

“That brat, Joseph, is too arrogant. He is too arrogant!”

Maddox’s eyes burst out with anger, and the blue veins on his temples. jumped. “What he has done these days is that he doesn’t put our

Anderson Group in his eyes at all!”

“He better be smart and marry Zoey. Otherwise… we, Anderson Group, will be the enemy of Sawle Group for the rest of our lives!”

10:23

In the private room of the nightclub, there was a lot of noise and confusion.

Skyler was lying on her stomach with a group of scoundrels, and two almost naked male models were dancing with her.

Amidst the screams of the crowd, Skyler’s eyes were blurred and hidden. She raised her neck and poured the red wine into her trembling chest. When the male model saw this, he suddenly hugged her tightly and stretched out his tongue to lick her neck inch by inch…

The people around her screamed wildly, and Skyler laughed wildly. After the bloody game, she held a bottle of wine and fell on the sofa like a pile of mud. She laughed uncontrollably as she drank.

“Third Miss, Third Miss?”

At this time, the assistant walked to her side and knelt down on one knee. “Something happened on Mazeland Manor’s side.”

“What’s wrong?” Skyler asked lazily.

“Anderson Group’s people went over. I think… they came for the marriage proposal.”

“Pfft, what the hell is going on? Didn’t Zoey’s widow mother go over two days ago? She didn’t even see Joseph’s face. She was sent back with a dirty face.”

“It’s different this time. This time, it’s not just Madam Anderson. Anderson family and Old Master are also here!”

Skyler suddenly opened her eyes and sat up abruptly. “Who are you talking about?”

“Old Master, Maddox! I heard that there are quite a few people here.

They should be here to ask for an explanation.”

“Haha, hahahaha! Interesting… very interesting!”

Skyler slapped the sofa hard, her eyes flashing, “Prepare the car! Go back and watch the show!”
