A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased

Chapter 137

Chapter 137

It was stated that the man’s Chinese name was Yates, and he not only had a comprehensive background profile, but also a plastic surgery report!

This man had undergone plastic surgery previously.

Before he underwent plastic surgery, she had a very positive impression of his appearance, which was the one Riley had given her. Through the internet, she discovered that he was Grace’s fitness coach’s lover in Nialzuct

“It’s him! The one who took Grace’s hand!”

Chloe was so excited that she couldn’t help but blurt out a flurry of words in front of her big brother.

She had a lasting impression of the image of Grace being moved.

Oscar cleared his throat softly and scowled. “Chloe, watch your tongue.”

“I really hit the nail on the head.”

Chloe clenched her teeth and sneered, “Oh, isn’t this just the icing on the cake – Grace did it”

Oscar’s eyes suddenly grew cold, brimming with rage, “I thought she was just being a bit jealous, but I never expected her to be so merciless I misjudged her.”

“But it’s peculiar, this individual is in perfect health, yet why is he still so merciless?”

“Why did he become Grace’s guy and lose his dignity”

“Flip back again,” Oscar said with a doting smile on his lips.

Flipping back a page, Chloe found a debt contract from the casino.

“Wow, I never would have guessed he was a gambler Seven hundred thousand dollars… he’s got quite a debt there” Oscar spoke slowly. “He’s in the red. The casino, banks, and loan sharks are all after him. His plastic surgery is to dodge the loan sharks and casinos.”

Chloe’s heart raced as she realized that by taking a risk, she had gained a newfound understanding of the situation.

“This man has no money and nowhere to turn, so he resorted to extorting money from Grace, who happened to be the fiancee of the President of the Sawle Group – she is just like a human flesh ATM, much rarer than a regular one

Then, Grace capitalized on this individual’s avarice and seized the chance to suggest a remuneration arrangement to them. Oscar inhaled deeply and extended his arm, embracing has sister. His eyes were a deep crimson. The deal is that I must hurt you.”

“I reckon this unfaithful pair has not been talked about yet. Had she known the man would assail me tonight, Grace would have opted to pass away for another day”

Suddenly, Chloe gazed at Oscar with adoration. “But big brother, it’s only been a few hours since the incident You’ve figured out everything. Even this man has a debt agreement. Are you an angel from the sky?”

“What a remarkable coincidence!”

Oscar squinted and ran his fingers through his sister’s silky hair. “That casino he frequents? It used to be one of my businesses. It still is, in a way. All it takes is one word from me to get whoever they want investigated”

Chloe was so shocked that her mouth gaped open and she gasped.

Brother Ksitigarbha, why is he so good-looking!

Jake had tightly sealed the news of Grace’s suicide from Joseph, not wanting to let the Sawle Group’s reputation suffer another blow

In the study room, father and son were once again at an impasse. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Joseph, we’ve reached a critical juncture. The only way to resolve this is to marry Grace without delay!

Jake issued an ultimatum, and his tone was stern. “Weren’t you the one who made this decision in the first place? We don’t have time for a wedding, so let’s just have an engagement party. In other words, the sooner the better. Don’t cause any more

issues!”

“I will devise a plan to help her escape the gloom of depression.”

‘But I can’t marry her,” Joseph declared firmly.

“What did you say?!”

“Back then, weren’t you the one who wanted to kick the bucket to be with Grace and hide your divorce with Miss Thorp. You wanted to get lutched in a jiffy!”

“Now that you have forsaken your predecessor and compelled your present self to seek death, what is going through your mund? How can you renege on your promise and be so callous? Is there anything like my, Jake’s, offspring?|”

Joseph curled his lips coldly, his ridicule stinging Jake’s eyes.

“What are you chuckling at? Do you find my words absurd?!”

“Yes.”

“Joseph” Jake exclaimed, his eyes blazing red with rage as he slammed his fist on the table. “How dare you!”

“If you want me to wed her, you should just come out and say it to preserve the reputation of the group, and I can also commend you for being generous”

“But if we’re talking about character, Joseph said, his sword-like eyebrows pressing down, “I can only reply to you if there’s a father, there must be a son.” He then bluntly tore the cloth apart.

His lips, thin and filled with bitter mockery, spoke volumes.

It was unclear whether he was laughing at his father or laughing at himself

“You… What did you just say? Jake was completely taken aback, his eyes and muscles twitching involuntarily.

“The former Grace was the one I wanted to wed. But now, I can’t bring myself to marry her.”

Joseph’s long eyelashes drooped, creating a low shadow. “But she is my saviour.” he said. “If it weren’t for her when I was a kid. I wouldn’t be here today.”

“I won’t turn a blind eye to her. I will wait for her to recover”

“Then, I will formally suggest ending our relationship.”

“You you want to break up with Grace!!” Jake was incredulous and asked agam, “Are you sure that’s what you want to do?”

“Yes, Joseph replied without hesitation.

“Grace has serious depression. She almost attempted suicide in order to put off the wedding! If you bring up ending the relationship, wouldn’t you be pushing her towards death? How can someone in her condition endure this kind of stress Jake was so worried that his words were coming out in a rush.

“Thus, I’ll keep quiet for now. When she’s recovered from her illness, I’ll solemnly bring up the topic of our breakup,” Joseph said, his gaze as cold as a frozen lake, his mind already made up.

Jake was so taken aback that his pupils constricted. He slowly lowered himself back into the leather chair and fixed him with a penetrating stare. ‘Did you want to break up with Grace because you’ve developed feelings for Chloe?”

Joseph’s heart quavered, yet he uttered without pondering. Tm not fond of her.”

“Hehe, you are my son. Even though you weren’t conceived through me, my blood still runs through your veins. A father knows his son better than anyone else!”

Jake narrowed his piercing eyes and sneered. “I saw the reluctance in your eyes after Stefan took Chloe away from your grandfather’s birthday celebration. Plus, I heard you drove her home that day? You were really harsh on Grace in front of her.”

Joseph, you’ve never been one to be wishy-washy or careless. You’ve been this way since you were a kid. If you don’t want it, then you don’t want it. You won’t even give it a second glance!”

“Why did you keep giving in to Chloe and showing her mercy every time? Are you still saying you don’t like her?!”

“I’ll say it one final time: my breakup with Grace has nothing to do with Chloe.”

Joseph abruptly rose to his feet. His piercing eyes were bloodshot. The blue veins on his long neck, which was partially exposed outside the collar of his shirt, stood out sharply. It seemed he was trying to help Chloe. Yet, it appeared so feeble. “Even if it’s not Chloe, it’s someone else. Grace shouldn’t fabricate a tale and accuse the other person.”

“It’s all because she loves you! If she didn’t care for you and only wanted your status and authority, why would she go to the trouble of squabbling with Chloe?”

“In the end, women all tend to be jealous. The more they care, the easier it is to arouse their emotions. Furthermore, Chlor has been married to you for three years. Isn’t it natural for Grace to not be able to move on from this?”

When Jake said this, he had an instant thought of Aubree.

Aubree, like Grace, was fond of crying and making a fuss. She would act coyly and snuggle into his arms, her warmth and sweetness drawing him into a gentle place. He became increasingly captivated by her, unable to free himself

He saw this as a sign of Grace’s love for Joseph, so much so that she was willing to sacrifice her life to keep his heart.

Just as Aubree did with him.

“Chloe used to have feelings for me too.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Joseph felt as if a nail had been driven through his throat. “In the three years we were married, she never caused any harm”

“When did love become a reason to disparage and injure others?”

He stopped talking to Jake, then spun around and headed for the door.

“Joseph Do you wish for the Sawle Group to…”

“Don’t fret. Sawle Group isn’t just yours. Even if I don’t wed Grace. I won’t let Sawle Group get into a tough spot.”
