A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased

Chapter 57

“What?”

Joseph’s pupils contracted fiercely, and the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground.

Seeing that he was at a loss for Grace, Chloe’s heart fell coldly.

“Just now, Miss Brown cried at home and kept calling your name. Her mood was very unstable. Madam asked you to go and see her. She said she was afraid that Miss Brown would do something extreme…”

Before Max finished speaking, Joseph suddenly stood up and rushed out of the restaurant.

“Bastard! If you dare to find that Brown family girl, I will never recognize you as my grandson!” Rory slammed the table in anger.

However, it was already too late. Joseph’s noble and proud figure had disappeared from sight. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Alas! Alas! My family is unfortunate! Grandfather has been able to turn the tide and turn the world around, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t sway Joseph’s opinion… It’s grandfather who’s been

unsuccessful!”

Rory beat his chest and stamped his feet. He felt guilty for this good granddaughter–in–law.

Chloe’s eyes were misty. She smiled lightly, and her cool palm touched the back of her grandfather’s hand.

“Grandfather, don’t say that. What you have done for me is enough. It is me and Joseph… we are not fated.”

Outside the villa, Joseph was worried and was about to get in the car.

“Mr. Sawle!”

He suddenly stopped and turned around. He saw Raya chasing after him under the bright light. His clear red eyes flashed with a faint cold light.

He didn’t know why, but he suddenly felt a hint of guilt in his heart. Just as he was about to say something, she was one step ahead.

“Tonight, your sister slandered my hotel employee, causing that girl to have epilepsy. Please go back and tell Third Miss Sawle.”

“I won’t live this down. She has to give that girl an explanation.”

Joseph’s eyebrows sank. He never expected that she would come after him to say this.

As a result, the anticipation in the man’s eyes instantly darkened.

“Although Skyler is my sister, I have never cared about her private affairs.” “So Mr. Sawle thinks this is a private matter. Okay, then I understand.”

After saying that, Chloe turned around and walked into the villa, no longer looking at Joseph.

Joseph suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and his whole body felt cold.

Was she laughing at him?

That night, Joseph went to see Grace, who was suffering from severe depression, and only returned with his tired body when it was early in the morning.

Even though he had a bit of a grudge against Grace because of the matter with Raya, the moment he saw the report of her serious depression, the most secretive and soft corner of his heart was touched.

Depression was a knot in his heart that he could not avoid.

“Mr. Sawle, something has happened. Do you need to deal with it?” Max held his phone and asked hesitantly.

“Huh?” Joseph closed his eyes and rested.

“The video of Third Miss insulting the female service staff at the hotel… was posted on the Internet. The public opinion found it in time and was afraid that it would affect our Sawle Group image, so I asked you for suggestions.”

“Delete.”

Joseph opened his thin lips and narrowed his eyes slightly. “Skyler’s personal problem can not be raised to the level of the group. It must be deleted.”

“Yes, Mr. Sawle!”

When he returned to the villa, Joseph had just gone upstairs when he saw Aunt Gill, who was wearing pajamas, walk out with a worried face.

“Aunt Gill, didn’t I say that you don’t have to wait for me in the future? I have no time when I’m busy.” A rare warmth welled up in Joseph’s heart.

Aunt Gill had been like this since he was a child. As long as he did not explicitly say that he would not come back, Aunt Gill would wait for him to go home like his mother.

As Aunt Gill aged, she gradually became unable to cope with the responsibility of caring for Joseph. Over the past three years, Raya had taken over this responsibility, and each night she would wait up for him to return home before going to bed.

“Joseph, have you eaten? I left food for you, and it’s still hot.”

“Joseph, could you try to go to bed earlier next time? Your headaches are often caused by staying up late. It can only be improved if you take care of yourself both inside and out.”

“Joseph… You don’t seem to be listening. Even if you reprimand me, I must say it. I want you to stay healthy and well, and I don’t want you to become ill.”

“If you say we shouldn’t wait, then we won’t wait? Then I’m just a servant, not a family member.”

“Ah, if only Young Madam were here! This old woman could save some energy then.”

“For three years, she took care of you like it was a single day. I witnessed Young Madam’s face, which was once as bright as a peeled egg, become sallow and haggard when she married you. Just thinking about it brings a pang to my heart.”

“Young Master, you lost your blessing.”

Joseph was in a trance, and in an instant, Raya’s pair of clear eyes that were as innocent as a deer and contained a trace of grievance appeared.

This kind of concern would never happen again in the future, and it would be a lie if he said that he was not lost at all.

“Raya is not my blessing, she is my tribulation.”

Joseph returned to the bedroom with a gloomy expression and saw a box on the tea table.

He recognized that it was a box from a tailor shop. Thinking that the clothes must have been repaired, he hurriedly went forward to open the box.

In the box, there was a high–quality suit.

The inside was refurbished, and there was almost no needle on the surface of the noodles. It was indeed a good craft.

A satisfied smile gradually crept up the corners of Joseph’s eyes and eyebrows.

“You still have Young Madam in your heart, Young Master, right?” Aunt Gill asked happily when she saw him staring at the clothes in a daze.

“The thing isn’t incorrect. Ultimately, it was all her hard work that paid off. Don’t squander it,” Joseph replied icily, his finger tracing the flat and even collar.

“Young Madam spent more than just this much effort on you.”

“Please come with me.” Aunt Gill sighed, her eyes filled with sadness.

The two of them arrived at the room where Raya used to live.

“Young Master, look,” Aunt Gill opened the closet door in the corner with

ease.

The top of the wardrobe was layered with shelves, neatly arranged with boxes of varying colors.

Joseph was stunned. “This is…”

“These are all the gifts that Young Madam prepared for you in the past three years.”

Joseph felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his broad shoulders shook.

“Here are your birthday gifts, as well as Valentine’s Day presents, wedding anniversary presents… Young Madam also said that there are also gifts for your first meeting.”

“Even if it is an insignificant day, as long as it is related to you, she will prepare a gift for you.”

“Even if she knew that you never cared about these feelings, she still stubbornly prepared them, as if she wanted to give herself an

explanation.”

Joseph’s pupils shrank, and the soreness and suffocation filled his entire chest.

“I can’t see what kind of feelings Miss Brown has for you, but Young Madam really loves you to the bone. Don’t say that I, an old woman, will show favoritism. I will stand on Young Madam’s side in this life. I don’t care about any of Brown family’s daughters.”

“Young Master, although I am only a servant, I know everything. I heard that the necklace you gave Miss Brown has appeared in the auction. Was

10:51

it sold by Brown family?”

“How much effort did you put into making that necklace for Miss Brown, and they sold it just like that? Didn’t Miss Brown stop them?”

“Aunt Gill, let’s not talk about this anymore, okay?” Joseph wanted to interrupt her.

“Do you know how much Young Madam likes that necklace? Do you know that when she heard that you wanted to give that necklace to Miss Brown, she was so envious that tears flowed out!” Aunt Gill shouted in a low voice, as if she was trying to speak up for Raya.

Joseph was stunned and clenched his pale knuckles.

She cried?

That woman actually secretly cried because she couldn’t get a necklace?

Aunt Gill took out an exquisite brocade box from the cupboard and opened it in front of him.

In an instant, all the blood in Joseph’s body froze, and he was stunned.

Everything inside was his, and even he could not remember it.

The crystal cufflinks that he had accidentally lost, the necktie that he did not want, the lighter that he had been idle for too long… were all carefully collected by her.

“If it was Young Madam, she would never ignore the gift you gave her. She was someone who would keep the necktie that you didn’t need. She would never do anything that would trample on your heart!”

“Grace didn’t know that the necklace was sold. If she knew, she would never allow Brown family’s people to do this.” Joseph clenched his fists. fiercely. His chest was filled with bitterness, and it almost overflowed his throat.

He couldn’t tell if he was trying to find an excuse for himself or for Grace. “Heh, there is a saying in our village that is true. You will never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep!”

Aunt Gill shook her head in disappointment and sighed as she left. Only Joseph stood there stiffly with mixed feelings in his heart.

It turned out that during the three years she married him, she was pretending to be virtuous. She was just pretending to be gentle and generous. It was not that she had no temper, it was not that she did not mind, it was not that she was not jealous.

10:51

She just gritted her teeth and swallowed the bitterness in her heart.

But she had clearly cared so much about it before, so how could all of this disappear from her cold eyes?

Joseph bit his teeth, his sharp jawline tightened, and her cold eyes were filled with unwillingness.
