A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased

Chapter 54

Chloe’s gaze fiercely froze, especially alienated.

“It seems that Miss Grace has taken good care of you. Mr. Sawle’s face is much thicker than before.”

“Don’t involve others in the matter between you and me.” Joseph was

angry.

“If you don’t want me to say something more unpleasant, then stay away from me. Other than getting a divorce certificate, I don’t want to have any more interactions with you, Mr. Sawle. Goodbye!”

Perhaps for a whole three years, he was used to Raya’s eager expectation. When she saw him, her eyes sparkled. At this moment, when these eyes looked at him, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice hole. The heat around his body was gradually dissipating.

“I won’t allow you to leave!”

Chloe opened her red lips and smiled like a piece of ice. “You say no and you don’t allow it? Am I, Raya, your dog? Do I have to listen to you?”

“You don’t need to say such words to undervalue yourself. I don’t think so.” Joseph frowned unhappily.

“Undervalue yourself? Haha… Joseph, you believe too much. Can’t you hear what I’m saying? I said I hate you. Don’t come and pester me anymore!”

Chloe’s eyes were red and she wanted to pull her hand out of his palm.

Unexpectedly, Joseph was also a stubborn person. The more she struggled, the harder he pulled her. She did not understand what it meant to be tender to the fairer sex.

“Hiss…” Chloe groaned softly in pain.

Her left hand held her forearm and buried her shoulders. Her forehead was covered with a layer of sweat.

Only then did Joseph realize something and hurriedly released his hand. Looking down, there was a circle of blood left in his palm, and his pupils. couldn’t help but shrink.

What he had just touched was her wound. He was in a hurry to take her away and forgot that there was still a wound on her wrist that had not been treated.

It was he who was too sudden.

“I’ll take you to the infirmary to bandage your wounds.” Joseph’s voice was deep and hoarse, and his eyes were heavy.

“Leave immediately, or I’ll call the police.” Chloe retreated angrily.

“Raya…”

“Get lost!”

Chloe could not bear it anymore and roared. Her heart was now like her hand, scarred and painful.

They had been married for three years. This man ignored her and did not even touch her.

Now that he was divorced, he came over to pester her and even made a move on her. He didn’t dislike her anymore.

It was really ironic!

Joseph’s soul trembled at her roar, and a thousand feet of coldness spread across his noble and exquisite face.

“You want me to just disappear? You were so determined to marry me no matter what before. When we were married, why weren’t you so stubborn?”

“Because I loved you at that time.” Chloe’s eyes were red, and she laughed in anger.

Joseph felt a stab in his chest, and his breathing became heavy.

“When I love you, you can do whatever you want with me. I don’t love you anymore, and everything will disappear.”

“Don’t you still think that you can enjoy what I have done to you before you get divorced? No, Joseph, I don’t love you. You are worthless.”

Chloe raised her chin in an evil way, and turned around to leave without any attachment.

“Raya, if not for grandpa, do you think I would be willing to look for you? Do you know how much grandpa misses you? How anxious is he when he can’t contact you?”

“You keep saying that you want to be filial to grandpa. How? Going back on your words? Do you think that grandpa is old and confused and can be fooled by you?” Joseph asked.

Chloe took a deep breath and clenched her fists.

Grandpa was undoubtedly a concern in her heart that she couldn’t get away with, and it was also a bond between her and Joseph that was hard to break.

Chloe was a woman who valued friendship and loyalty. She promised to go through fire and water to do it. She promised to spend this birthday with her grandfather before divorcing. Then she would never break her promise.

Even if the process was extremely torturous.

“I didn’t go back on my word. I will find time to see grandfather in the next two days.”

“Now.”

“What?”

“Come with me to see Grandpa now. He hasn’t slept well for five days. If he doesn’t see you, he won’t be able to eat his dinner well.”

“Don’t disappoint him, Raya.” Joseph seemed to be at his limit.

In the end, Chloe compromised.

Back then, she took care of Rory in the sanatorium. Her motive was indeed impure. At that time, she did not expect to marry Joseph. She only hoped to do something for him and have more opportunities to see her sweetheart.

Later, when they were together day and night, she fell in love with this cute and fragrant old man.

Although Rory was old, he had sharp ears and bright eyes. Even if he was not in charge of Sawle Group, he still monitored some important decisions made by Sawle Group from a distance. When necessary, he would step out and point out a few things, which would enlighten Sawle family’s younger generation.

As for Chloe, she had also secretly learned a lot of arts by Old Master’s side, and she had told her eldest brother everything she had learned and even used it when she was managing the hotel.

Therefore, her grandfather was not only her relative, but also her

mentor.

Joseph accompanied Chloe to the infirmary. The doctor was just absent, so she took out iodine and gauze to bandage herself with ease.

“I’ll do it.” The man approached her with a cold face.

“No need,” she said with a cold expression.

Joseph and she were equally obstinate; he would either ignore her or attend to her until the end.

Thus, he grabbed her fair and smooth hand and said firmly, “Raya, be obedient!”

Chloe was stunned. A cool touch came from her wrist.

Joseph seriously applied medicine to her wound, and the cotton swab touched the wound like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water. Lowering his long, slightly raised eyelashes, his bones were clearly visible. When the lines of his wrist exerted force, the blue meridians faintly revealed his cold, white skin, creating a beautiful contrast. Some people showed off their style, and some people just stood there quietly, with their own charm.

Joseph remained calm and looked at the wound on her hand.

Her hand was much rougher than he had imagined, but it was as soft as

cotton.

It was white and delicate, but her fingertips were covered in thin calluses, giving off a feeling of vicissitudes that did not match her age.

All of a sudden, a burst of numbing waves spread out from the depths of Joseph’s mind, and he could not help but look at the blurred moonlight, the soft curtains, and the charming and intertwined figures…

It was all a strange scene, but it was all a familiar feeling.

Joseph took a deep breath and calmed himself down, his throat moving up and down.

He had never had this kind of thought about Grace. How could he had such feelings for his ex–wife, who had challenged his temper time and time again?

Unreasonable.

Chloe felt the heat coming from his fingertips. Her heart also felt hot, and she quickly wanted to withdraw her hand.

“Okay.”

“Wrap the gauze.”

The man refused to listen. His fingertips squeezed her little hand, and his

eyes were slightly moist and cold. “Have you been digging coal these days? Your fingers are so rough, and they are all calluses.”

“No, I went to get dung.” Chloe knew that this man was very clean and deliberately teased him.

“Raya, can you speak human language properly?” Joseph raised his eyebrows.

“What I’m saying is human. If you don’t understand, it means that we are not the same kind.” All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Chloe raised her nose, her eyes like silk, and her smile was sly and provocative.

A dark flame rose in Joseph’s heart. This woman, with a backer, was actually more unscrupulous.

But he felt it was interesting.

If not for the divorce, he wouldn’t have known that Raya still had such a cute temper.

Although Chloe was only having a small injury, Joseph’s movements were clean and efficient, and he was still able to handle it smoothly. The years of luxury did not make him a useless person who could do nothing but earn money.

She had asked her third brother to check his files. This man had once been a top scorer in the military academy.

The only one who was on par with him was her fourth brother, Sami. In fact, in terms of temperament and shrewdness, he was more suitable to be an agent than her fourth brother, and he could also rival her third brother. However, as the son of Sawle Group, the only path he could take in the end was to be the successor of Sawle Group.

However, after retiring from the company and commerce, Joseph could also make his own career.

His talent was so different that it was like a legend.

Unfortunately, others were jealous, and he was blind. His illustrious name was ruined in the green toilet pit of Grace.

The corners of Chloe’s lips twitched coldly. Forget it, he was willing to go and stink.

She had to stay far away from him.

The two of them arrived at the parking lot.

Chloe was just about to drive her Bugatti when she was suddenly stopped by Joseph.

“Where are we going?”

“Where can we go? Let’s get the car.”

“Take my car.” Joseph’s attitude was cold and hard.

“Well–bred horses don’t go back to the same pasture. Good women don’t take their ex’s car. Until next time.”

Chloe waved her hand casually. Unexpectedly, Joseph opened the car door without saying a word. His other hand suddenly hooked around her, waist, pushed her directly into the car, and quickly slammed the door.

“Hey! What are you doing? Kidnapping me?” Chloe was so anxious that her face turned red. She patted the door and protested.

“I don’t trust you, Raya.”

Joseph leaned on the roof of the car with his left arm, his tall figure bent down as he peered at her from outside the car.

His half–closed eyes gave off a menacing and profound air, as if she were a bird trapped in his cage, unable to take flight with her wings clipped. “You are full of tricks. I have to be on guard.”
