A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased

Chapter 2

At dinner time, as Madam Sawle’s niece, Grace happily ate with the Sawle family.

Joseph was the only one with furrowed eyebrows and no appetite.

Raya left with Oscar just like that. She didn’t take any of her belongings, including the 20 million and the villa.

“Where’s Raya? Why didn’t she come down to eat?” Jake Sawle, commonly known as Director Sawle, asked in surprise.

“We are divorced. The divorce agreement has been signed. We will go through the formalities and get the divorce certificate someday.” Joseph lowered his eyes and answered.

“Divorce? Why?” Jake was stunned.

“Oh Jake, I told you a long time ago. Joseph and Raya are not suitable at all. It was the old master who forced them together.”

Madam Sawle sighed, “That child has been wronged for three years. Now she is willing to let go and separate with Joseph. This is actually a good thing for the two of them. You also know that Joseph has always loved Grace.”

“Joseph, marriage is not child’s play, and Raya is…”

“Dad, we have signed the divorce agreement. Raya has left our family with nothing.” Joseph frowned in frustration.

“Wow, that country bumpkin is quite unyielding.”

Third Miss Skyler sneered, “She can’t be scheming a meager–trick, right? When the time comes, will she go around saying that we, Sawle family, have treated her unfairly?”

When Joseph heard this, a trace of anger appeared between his brows.

“Joseph, you acted too rashly this time. Grandpa is still sick. How can you explain it to him?” Jake was afraid that this matter would anger the old master, so he couldn’t help but show some anxiety.

“Simply tell him the truth, and then next month I’ll make the marriage public and officially wed Grace.”

Grace stared at the man’s handsome profile, her eyes so sweet they seemed to be drawn together into a net.

“You are simply messing around! Raya has been your wife for three years, yet you discard her so fast. If everyone knows it, your reputation will be ruined!”

“I never care about things like fame. Raya is never the woman I want.” Joseph’s attitude was firm, without a trace of regret.

“Uncle Sawle, please don’t blame Brother Joseph. If you want to blame someone, blame me.”

Grace leaned against Joseph’s broad shoulders and said, “It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have appeared in front of Brother Joseph now… I will go back to Nialzuct early tomorrow. Brother Joseph, you should quickly reconcile with sister–in–law. Well, I don’t want to be the sinner who breaks you up…”

“Grace, it’s none of your business.”

“Raya and I are completely finished. You have endured for me for three years. I won’t let you suffer anymore.”

The night breeze was cool and refreshing.

Oscar took Chloe to the Half–moon River to relax and sit on a cruise ship to enjoy the beautiful night view of the city.

“Big brother, are you trying to reopen my old wounds?”

Chloe looked gloomily at the two pairs around her. “This is a holy place for couples to date! I don’t dare to come here normally, okay?” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Really? Then it’s your second brother’s fault. He said that he would set off fireworks here at eight o’clock in the evening.”

Oscar gracefully raised his wrist to look at his watch, “Five, four, three, two, one.”

With a bang, a huge purple–red firework broke through the air.

Some of the young couples came to the deck, and some people gradually gathered on the shore.

“Second brother’s taste is really… very rustic,” Chloe shook her head, but her heart was warm.

“Think about the strange gifts you received from him all those years ago. This is already much better.”

Oscar held his sister’s shoulder and gently pulled her into his arms. “Today, you have more than these gifts. Everyone has prepared a lot for

you and piled them all up in your room. Chloe, there are many people who love you. Leave your love and time to the worthy people.”

Chloe suddenly felt a sour feeling in her nose and was moved to a complete mess.

And at this moment, a black Maybach stopped outside the crowd.

Joseph held Grace’s hand and got out of the car. The wind was cold at night, and the woman squeezed into his arms in a delicate manner.

“Wow, what a beautiful firework! Brother Joseph, look!”

Grace often retained the innocence of a young girl in front of men, which was also Joseph’s favorite point.

On the other hand, Raya’s ambiguous and dull personality didn’t suit his feelings.

In the past three years, she only had one advantage, and that was that she was obedient enough.

But what was the use of that? She was not the person he wanted at all.

The two went to the railing, and suddenly, four fireworks bloomed together, turning into two words in the air –

Happy Birthday!

“Oh, it’s someone’s birthday. I wonder who can get such a gift. It’s so happy.” Grace couldn’t help but sigh, feeling very envious.

Joseph’s dark pupils suddenly contracted fiercely. His heart was gripped by an invisible force, and his thin lips pursed into a line.

Today was Raya’s birthday, so could these fireworks be the birthday present Oscar had given her?

Suddenly, a clear and pleasant voice entered Joseph’s ears. It was so familiar!

The cruise ship passed by them, and an outstanding couple stood on the deck – they were Raya and Oscar!

–

“Eh? It’s sister–in–law! Who is the man beside her? He looks familiar, and they seem to have a good relationship.” Grace pretended to be innocent and asked.

Joseph’s handsome eyebrows surged with a dark shade, and the veins on the back of his hand that clung to the railing stood out.

Sure enough!

A Billion–Rich Woman Was Chased by Her Ex–Husband

Having not even registered their marriage and officially divorced yet, this woman was already eager to spend a good night with someone else and throw herself into his arms. So why was she crying pitifully in front of him in the afternoon?

After two turns, they stopped at the shore.

When the tourists had dispersed, Oscar took Chloe by the waist and got off the boat.

“Raya!”

Hearing the call, Chloe’s whole body instantly tensed up.

She looked back inch by inch and saw Joseph striding towards her under the dim light. His handsome face was still breathtaking.

But what was the use of that? Her love had finally been destroyed by this man who had stunned her for thirteen years. She was completely unable to love him again.

“Who is he?” Joseph’s face was cold and oppressive.

“Mr. Sawle doesn’t seem to have a good memory.”

“In the business world, we have fought more than once.” Oscar hugged his sister tightly.

“Raya, answer my question.” Joseph ignored Oscar and pressed on.

“We have already divorced, Mr. Sawle. Whoever this gentleman is, it does not have anything to do with you.” Chloe’s cherry lips parted slightly as she replied coldly.

Joseph was shocked. He could not believe that the usually obedient and pleasant Raya would speak to him in this tone!

“We haven’t officially divorced yet, and you can’t wait to be with another man?”

He was the one to have an affair, but now he was questioning her.

Oscar’s eyes darkened, and he was about to go forward but was stopped by Chloe.

She actually protected another man? Joseph was even more unhappy!

“We haven’t officially divorced yet, but Mr. Sawle’s dream girl can’t wait to enter the Sawle family. I see that the turtledove takes over the magpie’s nest without saying a word. Mr. Sawle, what qualifications do you have to stop me from being with someone else?”

Chloe’s dark tresses swayed in the breeze, and her ruby lips curved into a

mocking smile. It was a beauty he had never beheld before, with a wildness that was hard to rein in. “Are you trying to use your double standards to restrict me?”

These words were really unpleasant to hear, making Joseph speechless!

Only then did Grace, having lost him, catch up. Seeing Joseph still reluctant to leave Raya, she stamped her foot fiercely, her high heels twisting her ankle and sending her crashing to the ground.

“Ah! Brother Joseph! My foot hurts!”

Only then did Joseph come back to his senses and hurriedly turned around to support Grace who was lying on the ground.

When he looked at Chloe again, the two of them were like a pair of immortal couple and had already disappeared without a trace.
