A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased

Chapter 138

Chapter 138

Joseph, his face pale, walked out of the study, his chest so studly it felt like it was about to burst.

He found Chloe to be like a burning red scar seared into his chest, one he dared not touch, for the slightest contact would make him feel as if his meridians were about to shatter and his bones were crumbling.

Thinking about Chloe, he dared not recall the fact that she had once loved him.

Joseph was born proud, yet humble as a dog, even in his youth when he was poor and hungry to the point of desperation. He never begged for mercy.

He and Chloe, both gamblers, had gone to the gambling table and lost all their wealth, but what they had lost was not money, but dignity.

He was unable to concede that he had lost

“Mr. Sawle, Max hastened up to him. “I have three matters to report to you.”

“Speak, Joseph commanded himself, trying to steady his nerves as a thin layer of sweat formed on his forehead.

“Miss Brown has already awoken and is not in a good mood. She desires to see you.”

“The second thing?” Joseph’s eyes were drooping.

“The chairman secured a highly competent lawyer for Aubree, and she will be freed tomorrow morning. “Furthermore, I discovered that her cousin Alan has already accepted responsibility, so Aubree can be considered exonerated,” Max said, lus voice quiet and his tone indignant

“What is the name of that lawyer?” Joseph frowned icily.

His last name is “Stewart,” and his first name is Johan Stewart.”

The man was secretly taken aback, realizing that Jiang was indeed experienced and savvy, and that Jake had managed to get the renowned lawyer, Johan Stewart, to assist him

Max stepped closer to him and said, “It’s fascinating that Johan is actually the older brother of the secretary next to Young Madam. Jordan, the lackey secretary, is actually the third young master of the Stewart family! This isn’t a joke!”

A glint of darkness flashed in Joseph’s eyes.

The youngest son, John, was a politician who had been elected to the Senate and had made great contributions to the country. The Stewart family, though not wealthy, was renowned in the domestic legal and political circles, Jeremy Stewart, the head of the family was a renowned judge in the country, revered as a god of justice in the legal world. He had three sons: Johan, the eldest, served as a legal consultant for two large financial groups and had never been defeated in countless major laws in and out of the country. Jevon, the second son, followed in his father’s footsteps and became a fair and impartial judge, wielding a gavel in his hand

Investigating Jordan, the youngest son, carefully would shock you with his remarkable calendar-making skills, though he may have initially appeared unknown

After graduating from high school, he was sent to Medo to a political university. He was the youngest legal doctor in the history of Medo. While in college, he was a highly influential figure. He could have easily relied on his looks to get by, but he insisted on getting a full scholarship. He was the top of his class. People gave him the nickname “Jack”.

It was such a rare talent who was willing to be Raya’s secretary, taking care of her food and living like a male nanny, solely by

Chloe’s side.

By that woman’s side were hidden dragons and crouching tigers, truly

Joseph couldn’t help but feel a bitter sensation in his heart. He only murmured. “It won’t be long before Aubree is freed, but it doesn’t make a difference. In any case, her route to the Board of Directors is totally blocked.”

“Young Madam is wise and brilliant! The moment she attacked, she almost defeated the old witch until that witch had no chance of a comeback! Hehe… Mr. Sawle, no matter what, thanks to Young Madam, we made a profit this time!” Max rubbed his hands happily.

Joseph glared at him coldly, his handsome face dark. “If you’re so fond of her, go work for her.”

Max was speechless.

“In the past. I have triumphed in numerous skirmishes. I have never witnessed you so enthusiastic. Consider who provided you with your wages”

Max couldn’t speak.

“What’s the third thing?”

“Oh! You asked me to investigate. I discovered the man who was with Young Madam that night! Wow… I can’t believe I

actually looked into it. I was astonished when I looked into it!” Max was building up the tension again.

“Who is he?” Joseph inquired in a raspy tone.

“He is the youngest offspring of the chairman of Xavy Group, the fourth scion, Jerome! He has been residing in Stoeyae and has only recently returned to Medo a few days ago!”

Jerome Xavier? Xavy Group?

Joseph’s heart was keen, and his eyes were filled with darkness.

Medo had thousands of projects, and Xavy Group had half. In Medo’s business world, there was always a saying that “The South belongs to Sawle, the North to Xavier

The two large families had hundreds of billions of assets, and with a deep river as the boundary, it appeared that the well water and river water did not mix, yet they were engaged in open and covert hostilities, never ceasing

Joseph had heard long ago that KS Group and Navy Group had collaborated on numerous major projects both domestically and abroad. The two powerhouses had a close bond and had been acquainted for two decades.

Had Chloe and Jerome known each other very early?

They were so close that it seemed they could not bear to be apart, suggesting they had been childhood sweethearts.

Max sighed with envy, “Alas, it’s not hard to comprehend why Young Madam is so highly regarded. She’s the beloved daughter of Stefan, the pride of Gaoling!”

“The guardians of the flower around her are all paragons of men. Take a look at the youngest son of the Stewart family, he is only worthy of carrying the shoes of the Young Madan”

As he said this, curling his lips and glancing at the big boss, he felt a pang of pity in his heart.

He felt that, despite Mr. Sawle’s ascension to the presidency and impending vice presidency of the board of directors, the sum of these accomplishments was not as remarkable as his wife being Chloe.

If uttered, it would draw the attention of countless heroes!

Joseph’s lower jaw tightened coldly and sharply, the veins on lus forehead jumping, and he raised his hand to the wall. hus fingers slowly curling into fists.

What is that woman up to, wanting to make a phone number for the Third and Fourth Young Masters?

The man pinched the space between his eyebrows and gasped, his voice trembling. ‘Max, fetch me my headache medicine, please.”

At night, a dark green Rolls-Royce crept up to the door of the “little black house without a sound.

The so-called “little black house” was an unfinished building that KS Group had purchased in the western suburbs of Medo in its early days. Its location was quite secluded, but Stefan had a hunch. At the time, he had heard from somewhere that the subway would be connected to the western suburbs in five years. He knew that this building would skyrocket in value, so he bought it.

The unfinished building had a dark and damp basement, so if someone were to be locked up there, it would be almost impossible to locate them.

Since Oscar had become aware of this situation, it was inconceivable for him to leave his sister to face it alone, so he joined Chloe tonight.

“President Thorp and First Lady, the two bodyguards outside bowed respectfully.

“How is he?” Chloe inquired languidly.

“Still alive”

These words were exceptionally intelligent.

Chloe nodded contentedly as she and her big brother descended the stairs and entered the basement.

As soon as she entered, the pungent smell of mold assaulted her face, and a mouse scurried past the soles of Chloe’s feet. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Despite this, the young lady’s expression remained unchanged; she had already endured so much in her time as a national doctor in this unforgiving environment.

Yates hung upside down in the dim yellow light, his face red and swollen, his nose bloody from having done handstands for too long

Upon seeing the two of them, he contorted his body into a silkworm pupa. His tears and mucus flowed in reverse as he begged, “I was wrong… I was so wrong, Lady Thorp! Please spare my life! I’ll do anything you ask!*

Previously, Chloe had thought this fellow was very tough, but after only three days of robbing others, he had become a

Oscar’s brows were gloomy and he was about to move, but Chloe stopped him in time.

“Big bro, we made a deal when we got here. Let me take care of this person. You gotta keep your promise.”

“Yes,” Oscar took a deep breath to contain his anger, clenched his teeth and stepped back.

Chloe crossed her arms in front of her chest and slowly advanced towards Yates. With her slim legs, she kicked him on the shoulder with the pointed tip of her high heels.

He swayed in the air once more, feeling nauseous.

“Lady Thorp… I had no idea… I had no clue it was you… I need to know… How could I have been so foolish as to heed the malicious words of that wretched woman, Grace… to assault you!”

Yates was truly remorseful. His tears were almost streaming down his face. “I’m willing to make amends… I’ll eat shit and drink urine if that’s what you want! I’ll do anything to make it right! Please give me a chance! It’s better than being locked up!”

“If you want to survive, answer a few of my queries.” Chloe was direct.

“You inquire! I will certainly divulge all I know…”

“As the lover of Grace in Nialzuct,” Chloe’s beautiful eyes flashed with a cold light, “do you know that she had given birth to at child prior?
