Chapter 174
Jordan was so shocked that his jaw almost dislocated.
But our big sister not only looked calm, but also yawned.
“Why are you taking off my vest at this time? Look, you scared our child.”
“Alexa, why is there no news of you returning to Medo? Everyone in the studio is waiting for you to come back!” Sliva said, her eyes turning red.
“Sigh, I’m sorry, my dear. In the future, I need to help the family. I really can’t leave. So, you can only temporarily take charge of Puplen’s studio.”
Chloe sighed at the mention of this, “Don’t fret about the studio going bust; back in my early days, every piece of jewelry I made was worth a fortune, so the money is more than enough to keep the studio running.”
“However, you must tell everyone not to delay their future in order to follow me. If you want to leave my studio, I will also give you my blessings. I will not have any complaints, including you, Sliva. If you want to leave, you can tell me. You don’t have to hold on like this.”
Sliva rubbed her eyes. “Alexa… You have helped me. I will never leave you.”
“You have helped me so much. You have already repaid your kindness. I don’t want to become your shackles. It is honor Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
my to follow me. You have the right to choose any kind of life you want.”
“The reason why Alexa can become a legend is because you are by my side.” Chloe smiled gently.,
When Jordan heard the words of the First Miss, he could not help but cry.
It was only then that he realized that he was too self-righteous.
He had never deeply understood the First Miss. He thought that the First Miss was a perfect person, but he did not expect that she was actually a god!
Her hair was not long, and her knowledge was too short!
“Alexa, if Sawle Group comes to me again, I will clearly reject them. Moreover, I will tell them that Alexa is going to cooperate with KS Group and let them suffer a big loss.”
“Don’t reject Sawle Group openly. If you don’t give them hope, how can you let them down?” Chloe smiled.
Sliva was surprised and nodded. “I understand what you mean.”
“We haven’t even fought in the arena yet. Joseph hasn’t even used any big moves yet, and we have already won without spilling any blood. If we lose all our troops, wouldn’t that be boring?”
Chloe opened her mouth and revealed her pearly white teeth. That crafty little fox like smile appeared again. After planning for so long, how could I not give Mr. Sawle a chance to show his talent?
“When he tried his best to run to the finish line, he found that his opponent had already been waiting for him at the end of the line. This feeling is far more depressing than failure.”
After the video call ended, Jordan still hadn’t recovered from the strong impact that the First Miss had given him when she dropped her disguise.
Although the First Miss had many talents, the moment he found out that she was Alexa’s true self, he couldn’t help but put his palms together and want to pay her respects.
This was definitely the closest time he had ever been to God!
“Hey! Soul Restoration!” Chloe narrowed her eyes and snapped her fingers in front of Jordan.
It was as if the hypnosis had stopped, and Jordan returned to his senses.
“Jordan, don’t you think it’s a little unkind for me to do this?” Chloe leisurely placed her arms on the armrest, which was a little visible, and the leather chair turned around.
“In the past, Joseph was so cruel to you. I feel that you are still reserved when you treat him like this.” Jordan gritted his teeth in anger.
“Yes. With your words, I am at ease.”
Chloe closed her beautiful eyes leisurely and slowly turned the leather chair around half a circle, facing the bright French window.
“I’ve been by Joseph’s side for three years. In fact, it’s not that he doesn’t love me the most. He gave me the cold shoulder and regarded me as nothing. What makes me the most sad is that he still loved Grace so brazenly in a marriage.”
“I watched him pay the ticket time and time again and fly to Nialzuct. I watched him, in order to create a unique birthday gift for Grace, a person who was so afraid of trouble, fly to France to find a first-rate master to polish and sculpt.”
“You said that it’s better to be partial, but I was his wife at that time. Even if I had no feelings, I should have at least/respect.”
Chloe turned her back to Jordan, and her tone was emotionless.
It was like a storytellertelling an audience about the tragedy of love between a talented person and a beautiful woman.
Jordan felt suffocated. He knelt down on one knee beside Chloe and raised his head like a loyal dog to stare deeply at his master. “For a smelly piece of trash, Joseph actually hurt you so ruthlessly. He really should die ten thousand times, but it is still not enough to appease the public’s anger!”
Chloe chuckled, “If it was before, I would definitely be full of resentment and unwillingness, but now I am very calm and even want to laugh.”
“If Grace was a pile of trash, then Joseph was a trash can. Grace changed from a trash can to a trash can that could not be recycled, but Joseph was a trash can from the beginning to the end.”
“I was affectionate but not promiscuous. There was no need for me to be obsessed with a trash can. However, I was very amused looking at how Joseph had gone all out for Alexa.”
“I really want to see him working hard for me and finally end up with nothing.”
Joseph, you have always been a fickle person.
‘What a coincidence. The current me is also the same.”
In order to be able to see Alexa, Joseph deliberately took a private plane to Puplen.
High up in the sky, he suddenly remembered the first year of his marriage with Chloe. In order to build Heart of Crimson Flame for Grace, he took time out of his busy schedule to specially fly to France. He tried all means to get the designer who had designed jewelry for the royal family.
He had never lowered himself to beg anyone like that.
Later, the designer was moved by his sincerity and reluctantly designed the necklace for him.
Now, Heart of Crimson Flame was permanently sealed in the box, and he would never look at her again.
The necklace no longer carried his sincere love, but regret and humiliation.
Joseph’s deep and quiet eyes looked at the dense clouds. In a daze, Chloe’s beautiful face appeared above the misty clouds.
The illusion was too real, causing his heartstrings to tremble. He couldn’t help but raise his hand to touch the window.
However, it was cold.
He took a deep breath, and memories flooded into his mind.
“Do you know how much Young Madam likes that necklace? Do you know that when she heard that you were going to give that necklace to Miss Brown, she was so envious that tears flowed out!”
“If it was Young Madam, she would never not take the gift you sent seriously. She was someone who even kept the necktie that you didn’t use well. She would never do anything to trample on your heart!”
Joseph suddenly felt a burst of pain in his chest, tearing and tearing, and his line of sight became no longer clear.
The woman he thought would carefully collect his love, actually trampled his affection to pieces with disdain.
But even if it was such a mess, it was something that Chloe wanted to obtain even in her dreams.
His pale lips twitched, and he smiled bitterly in silence.
‘What kind of motivation made you stay by my side for three years?’
‘Chloe was so infatuated, why?’
At this time, Max came over with a cup of coffee and placed it on the table.
“Mr. Sawle, I have already contacted Miss Sliva, the person in charge of Alexa’s studio. She said that she can see you.”
“Really?” There was finally light in the man’s dim eyes.
“Yes, but it was just a meeting. Her attitude was quite cold and unwilling.”
Max sighed worriedly, “I was afraid that this matter… would be in vain.”
“Don’t be afraid. As long as Alexa’s willing to see me, don’t give up any hope.”
After arriving at Puplen, he waited anxiously for another three days. Only then did Joseph meet Sliva, the person in charge of Alexa’s studio, at a nearby cafe. He didn’t even enter the studio.
“Mr. Sawle, forgive me for being blunt.”
Sliva crossed her arms around her chest and looked at Joseph with a rather arrogant gaze, “Up until now, Alexa has only designed jewelry for the First Lady, the President, members of the royal family, and people who have made outstanding contributions to the country, society, and public welfare.”
“Although Ada Wang is an international superstar, she is still not qualified to invite our Alexa to come out.”
Max secretly stuck out his tongue, “This is too much. It is just jewelry, not a military medal!”
“Although it might sound like I’m bragging, I truly don’t mean to. I established a charity foundation in my mother’s name at Sawle Group when I was younger, and over the years, I have been dedicated to
philanthropic endeavors, providing support to nursing homes, underprivileged students, and orphanages.”
“I hope that Ms. Alexa can look at this matter from a broad perspective. Don’t think of it as simply making jewelry for a famous person. As long as Alexa cooperates with us, you can name the price.”
“Not only that, I will donate all the extra income produced by Ada Wang’s wedding in our hotel to the charity foundation and use it for charity.”
“Oh, so Mr. Sawle thinks that our Ms. Alexa lacks a broad perspective? That her horizons are too narrow?” Sliva chuckled coldly.
“I didn’t mean that…” Joseph choked.
“Over the years, there have been too many black-hearted capitalists who came to Alexa to design jewelry in the name of charity. Who knows if you are one of them? Who knows that the money you invested into the charity foundation is not from your left hand to your right?”
Joseph’s eyebrows suddenly sank, and his large palm on his knee tightened.
Max really couldn’t stand it anymore. He angrily said in English, which was not authentic but fluent, “Miss Sliva, we are sincerely here to ask for cooperation. Isn’t it too much for you to make things difficult for us?”
With a calm and handsome face, Joseph reached out and made a gesture in front of Max, indicating him to stop talking.
“I have always taken care of Sawle Group’s foundation. Every donation has a public transparent account to check. I can show you the account book.”
Sliva curled her red lips in disdain and said coldly, “I will truthfully convey Mr. Sawle’s meaning to Alexa, but whether or not we can reach an agreement will be decided by Alexa herself.”
“After all, you are not the only one who has been striving for design recently.”
After that, Sliva got up and left. She did not drink a single mouthful of coffee on the table.
“This little temper… Is Puplen’s woman in menopause so early?” Max’s face turned red and he could not help but complain. “Let’s not talk about this for now. Prepare a second-hand plan.”
Joseph’s Adam’s apple moved with difficulty and loosened the Windsor knot. “Alexa’s attitude towards us is very tough. I think she will be the same for Chloe. After all, I have the same purpose as her. And I don’t think that Chloe can offer a better
condition than me.”
“What do you plan to do next?” Max asked anxiously.
“We’ll start with Ada Wang, but we can’t relax on Alexa’s side.”
Joseph clenched his fists tightly, his starry eyes misty. “Keep an eye on Chloe’s movements. If she and Alexa make any further moves, report to me in time!”
