A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased

Chapter 169

Chapter 169

In the main hall on the first floor.

Oscar, Riley, and Marble, who had changed into proper attire, and the two ladies had already welcomed Draco Xavier and his second son, Patt Xavier, into the door.

“Oscar, Riley! The older you are, the more handsome you become. No, no, I was rude. Now you should be called President Thorp and Captain Thorp, right?”

“Oh! This is your youngest son, right? Hey! The last time I saw him, he was still a naughty and cute little boy. Now he is so handsome and handsome. He is a talented man. Where is he working now?”

The chairman of Xavy Group, Draco, kindly stepped forward to shake hands with every Young Masters from the Thorp family.

“I am now a police officer working in the criminal police team, Uncle Xavier,” Marble replied with a faint smile.

“You actually… became a police officer?” Draco was a little surprised, and his shrewd eyes flashed.

In the eyes of that business tycoon, police officers were considered the lowest-level public servants, earning less, facing danger, and having to deal with all sorts of dirty and tiring tasks. What’s more, the career path was narrow, and even if you rose to the rank of a senior police inspector, it was.still limited, far less valuable than inheriting the family business from one’s father.

“My son is not talented, I let you see a joke.” Helena showed a trace of embarrassment. Hér youngest son’s career had always been a sore point to her.

Among the three wives, she had the highest social standing. Although she didn’t have the desire to compete fiercely and divide the Thorp family, she was deeply influenced by her original family, and she had a strong sense of family honor from a young age. Therefore, it was only natural for her to hope that each of her children would excel, and her expectations for them were exceptionally high.

However, her youngest son, Marble, was a person who “did not want to advance”. He insisted on keeping his life on his belt as a criminal police officer and did not follow the path she paved for him. It gave her a headache.

“Second Sister, you are too modest!”

Freya was frank and outspoken. She went forward and patted Marble’s shoulder with a proud smile. “How is Old Seven not talented? He just became twenty-seven years old, and he already made three first-class skills and three second-class skills. He also broke many cases. He is the light of Medo’s police force!”

“Not only that, Seventh Brother is now the captain of Medo’s first criminal investigation brigade, and he is also the captain in the history of their bureau, Uncle Xavier. Riley did not want Xavier family’s people to look down on his outstanding Seventh Brother, so he also chimed in.”

“Haha… That’s really young and promising, young and promising!” Draco could only smile and agree.

youngest

When Marble heard his family praise him, he was even happier than if he had made a contribution. He shyly grinned and scratched his head.

“Old Xavier! Ouch…”

Stefan, with the company of Secretary Jared and Sia, walked up to Mr. Xavier and his son with subtle smiles hinting at hidden intentions.”It’s been a long time since you last came to see me. I thought you had some problems with your spare parts and went abroad to take care of them. That’s the only reason you didn’t dare to meet me.”

“Hey! You still have the nerve to say

that?”

Draco felt irony, “Two months ago, I called you to ask you out to ride a horse with me. Wasn’t it you who refused to ask me out for something?”

“In the past, when I said I was going to ride a horse, you were in high spirits. You had to compete with me even when you were in the sky. I was wondering if you were too old to climb on the back of a horse. Are you afraid that I will laugh at you?”

“Hahaha… then you really worry about salty radish. My body is tough!”

“When you enter the nursing home with me in the future, your wheelchair will definitely be pushed by me! Just wait and see!” Stefan smirked.

When everyone saw that the two of them were still the same as before, bickering whenever they met, they couldn’t help but

snicker.

Tonight, Director Xavier wore a well-dressed suit with four pieces of clothing. The foundation of the carbon ash and the silvery-white thin black necktie were embellished. He was very energetic. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

As a result, they didn’t expect that this old fellow, Stefan, would actually wear a snow-white silk gown. The fine dark embroidery was full of nobility, and he was also very casual and carefree. He didn’t have

a single strand of white hair on his temples. His back was as straight as a pine – just like twenty years ago. It was really infuriating!

Draco and Stefan were both men who especially cared about appearance management. When they were young, they had already put in a lot of effort in dressing up and skincare. They had been competing like this for twenty years, wanting to drag the other into the coffin.

“Hello, Uncle Thorp.” Patt stepped forward and bowed politely to Stefan.

He and Jerome were of the same father and different mothers, and their appearances were not alike.

Fourth Young Master Xavier had a delicate and handsome appearance, and it was hard to tell whether he was male or female. Second Young Master’s facial features were more angular. His thick eyebrows flew to his temples, and his eyes were sunken. His gaze was as sharp as his father’s, and his figure was slender and rough.

“Oh! Patt, you’re so good too!”

Stefan showed a loving smile to this junior. After all, he had watched Xavier family’s child grow up. “Old Xavier, didn’t you say that you brought your youngest son along? I haven’t seen your fourth brother for many years. Why? Didn’t he come with you?”

“Haha… that little bastard said that he had something to do at the last minute and would only arrive later.”

“Old Thorp, didn’t you say that Chloe would come tonight? Why didn’t I see him?” Draco looked around and asked in confusion, “Old Thorp, didn’t you say that Chloe would also come tonight? Why didn’t I see him?”

“Ahem… Chloe also said that she has something to do. She will come back after dealing with it.” Stefan could not figure out his daughter’s plan, but it was reasonable to say that as long as she agreed, she would never break the promise.

“Tsk, it can’t be that Chloe won’t come? No, no! I just came to see Chloe!”

“If I can’t see Chloe, I won’t leave tonight!” Draco was unwilling to let go.

As soon as the voice fell, the bright voice of the butler came from outside the door, “Mr. Thorp! The First Miss is back!”

“Look, talking about Chloe, isn’t Chloe here now?”

When Stefan heard that his daughter had returned, he instantly beamed with joy, and his eyes were full of doting radiance.

At this moment, everyone also turned to look outside the door.

Draco’s eyes immediately lit up. He stretched his neck and looked out expectantly.

Patt’s eyes, which had been indifferent the entire time, also narrowed at this moment. He, who was used to seeing the big scene, even secretly tidied up his tie. All the nerves in his body became nervous.

“Dad! I’m back!”

A clear and sweet voice that was like sugarcane came over. It was fast and pleasing to the ear, making one feel both physically and mentally happy.

Chloe, who was as bright as a peach flower, walked with light steps and stepped into the view of everyone with Jerome.

Apart from Oscar, everyone, including Stefan, was stunned.

And at this moment, the expressions of Mr. Xavier and his son were somewhat intriguing.

Draco frowned slightly, while Patt pursed his lips until they were white. His brows were gloomy and cold as he pressed his eyes. A gloomy feeling of being set up by others surged in his chest, making him pull his tie with a dark face.

“Uncle Thorp, Dad, I’m sorry, we are late.”

Jerome first took a deep look at Chloe beside him, and then politely bowed to the two elders.

“Jerome, did you meet Chloe at the door?” Draco looked back and forth between them and asked tentatively.

“No, Dad.”

Jerome slowly curled his lips, and his tender eyes fell on Chloe’s side face. “I specially went to pick up Chloe and came with her.”
