Chapter 104
Chloe stood in the middle of the empty living room, and the room was quiet.
She fumbled to turn on the light, and her voice was urgent and hoarse. “Big brother? Big brother, are you there?”
At this time, there was a faint sound in the bedroom.
Chloe’s heart was lifted, and she shouted as she walked in quickly. “Big brother! How are you? Where are you feeling unwell”
“Ch… Chloe… don’t come over!” Oscar’s trembling voice came over, carrying heavy breathing.
“Big brother! What happened to you? Don’t scare me!”
Chloe’s face instantly lost all color. Just as she was about to rush in, the door opened with a bang.
Under the dim light, Oscar’s entire body was drenched as if he had been fished out of the sea, his handsome face flushed red as if aflame.
His suit was removed, revealing a white shirt that was soaked and clinging to his muscular frame. The front of the shirt was
open, exposing skin that was flushed a deep red, stirring her senses.

“Big brother… you…
“I… was drugged…”
“I took a cold shower and soaked myself in cold water… But this drug is too strong… It’s useless!”
“How could it be like this?” Chloe was full of anger, but more of it was panic.
She had outstanding medical abilities, making it a breeze for her to even open people’s heads alive. Yet, when confronted with her own brother who was under the influence of drugs, she was at a loss.
“Chloe… This is a trap. Leave this room immediately… and lock the door… I can solve it myself!” Oscar’s breathing became heavier and his eyes were red.
His misty eyes fell on Chloe’s exposed arm… He even uncontrollably developed a desire that made him fear.
‘No, we can’t drag it on any longer… something bad will happen!”
“Big bro! I can’t let you be! I’m here to help. I’ll dial for an ambulance and we’ll head to the hospital right away!”
Chloe had never seen Oscar in such pain before, and she was almost about to cry!
She was just about to run over to help him when she heard a bang –
Oscar used his bare hands to break the vase at the foot of the door!
Then, he grabbed a piece of sharp tile and clenched it tightly in his palm. Even when blood flowed out of his fingers, he still refused to let go.
“Big… Big Brother!” Chloe was extremely distressed, and tears appeared at the end of her eyes.
She knew that Oscar would not be able to hold on much longer.
He had hurt himself just to protect her!
“Chloe… Big Brother, please leave quickly!”
Oscar shot his eyes, which had been devoured by desire, and roared, “Let’s go!”
The banquet hall was full of singing and dancing.
Stefan was chatting happily with Rory in front, and some people who wanted to curry favor with Sawle Group did not dare to go forward for a while.
Director Thorp’s aura was so strong, like that of an Emperor, that it was impossible for small characters like them to be taken seriously; they were destined to be laughed at.
Rory drank some warm wine and was in a good mood, so he invited the children to sit together.
Joseph and Skyler were invited by Secretary Webb to sit with Stefan.
“Stefan, what do you think of my grandson?” Rory was like an old child, winking at Stefan.
*Mr. Sawle is your grandson, so le naturally surpasses you.’ Stefan smiled faintly
Jake frowned and coughed, silently wondering how this person had made his family business so big with such low EQ Joseph was Jake’s son. If he wanted to praise Joseph, he should at least praise Jake first, so how could he directly skip Jake

Haha… Joseph can’t hold a candle to me when I was young! Back then, I had more finesse than him. I have a lot of acumen!”
“My grandson has a good heart and a hard head! No matter what, he won’t listen to me!” Rory sighed bitterly.
Joseph lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea with a cold face.
“Dad, Joseph isn’t as bad as you think. Over the past few years, he’s been president and everyone has seen his work in the group. Among the younger generation, Joseph is seen as having done a good job. Jake gave Joseph a rare compliment.
He was attempting to preserve his pride, as he could not be outdone by his rival.
“Tsk. shouldn’t this be his job? Shouldn’t the president be exemplary and have a good vision? Otherwise, even if he’s my grandson, I’ll pull him down and let someone competent take over!”
Rory had always been resentful towards Jake, so when he found an opportunity, he had to give him a beating.
“Old Master Sawle, as you would say, the qualified young people in Medo are as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. Mr. Sawle is truly remarkable and can be seen as a role model for the younger generation’ Stefan smiled and spoke sincerely.
After all, after Joseph took over, Sawle Group’s performance was several times better than before. Coupled with the bold and decisive reform, Sawle Group became the leading financial group in Medo in just three years.
Stefan could see that Old Master was secretly praising him, but he was actually satisfied with this grandson.
“Wow! It seems that you really admire my linle grandson, Stefan?”
“How about our two families become in-laws? What do you think?” Rory grinned and approached Stefan.
Everyone: ?!
The Old Master’s words caused a drastic shift in the expressions of the Sawle Group’s parents, Skyler almost choked on her tea when she heard them.
“Grandpa, don’t mess around!” Joseph’s expression stiffened, and his brows sank.
Stefan was also secretly shocked.
*Stefan, I remember that you had three daughters before. Have you had any more daughters in recent years?” Rory asked seriously.
“It’s still those three girls. I have nine children. It’s enough. I don’t have any plans to add family members in the future.”
“Ah, are the three daughters married?
Stefan gave an awkward smile. ‘My sixth daughter, Fran, has already been married off overseas. My youngest daughter, Kiran, is still in school. She’s still so young; I want her to be able to enjoy her childhood for a few more years.”
“Then, there is another one, the one you love the most! What is her name?”
“That is my eighth daughter, Chloe. Stefan’s expression became gentle.
Hearing this name, Joseph’s hand that was holding a teacup trembled slightly, his expression even more gloomy.
“Yes, yes! It’s Chloe! I remember seeing her when she was so little! She is really a cute and sensible girl!”
“I estimate that Chloe is about twenty-four or twenty-five years old now. Did she marry?” Rory asked.
“Not yet…”
“What do you think of our Joseph?”
Stefan was completely speechless. Why was the old man so unreasonable? Could it be that he did not see that he did not want to marry his daughter to Jake’s son?
Humph, he really dared to think about itl
*Grandpa. I am going to get married soon.”
Joseph was furious when he thought of Chloe. He gritted his teeth and said, “Even if I am not married and have no girlfriend, I can’t have any possibility with Miss Chloel”
Just as Rory was about to speak, Stefan frowned and couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Sawle, I don’t understand what you are saying. Do you think that our Chloe is not good enough for you?”
‘She’s my apple of my eye. Even the son of the Prime Minister and the Crown Prince of the royal family came to propose marriage, but I feel they’re not up to the mark. Where did Mr. Sawle get the assurance from? You haven’t even laid eyes on Chloe, and you just outright rejected her? Isn’t that a bit too hasty?”
If not for Old Master Sawle being present, Stefan would have said it even more harshly.
The younger generation was really frivolous!
