Chapter 117
Grace seemed intent on officially moving into Mazeland Manor as Sawle Group’s young mistress and beginning to live with Joseph.
Ah, that’s true. She would definitely be unhappy if it was her seeing his ex-wife’s things piled up there; she understood. “That’s why Mr. Sawle found it too much of a hassle. So just chuck it. No need to come and query me about it,” Chloe spoke in a frigid, emotionless tone.
“So, what about the presents you gave me? Do you want to discard them as well?”
Chloe’s lips curled up in a mocking way. “Raya may have thought of them as precious, but to me they’re just smelly trash.” Joseph gasped and held his breath, saying, “…”
“If you need anything in the future, get in touch with my secretary. I don’t answer calls from numbers I don’t recognize. I’m ending the call now.”
“Chloe.”
“Have you finished yet?” Chloe said, her voice rising in annoyance.
“What about the costumes? You usually take great care of them, afraid of getting them dirty. Don’t you want them anymore?”
Joseph’s voice had a chill to it, with a hint of urgency, “If you don’t come to collect them, I’ll assume no one else is claiming them and take care of them myself”
Chloe’s heart clenched, causing her to hesitate.
Each of the few well-crafted costumes was from Sia’s personal collection, and every stitch was a result of her painstaking
effort.
Without saying a word, Sia took the item out and offered it to her, saying that she could keep it to make her grandfather happy.
Sia’s good intentions couldn’t be thwarted by this man with a dog, so she let out a sigh of relief, “I’ll have Secretary Stewart get it from Mazeland Manor tomorrow.”
“Come here in person.”
“If your secretary arrives, I won’t let thern in. I’ll be waiting for you at home tomorrow, so it’s a done deal.” The man seemed to have the upper hand, and he spoke with an unshakeable conviction.
After saying that, he ended the call.
“Darn it!” Chloe stared at the black screen, her fury palpable.
Wasn’t it just a few pieces of clothing that he had left with her? It was almost as if he had a tight grip on them!
If she had to go, she would go, she would descended the mountain like Momotaro, determined to vanquish the demons!
The next morning.
Chloe and Kiran washed up, hand in hand, and then went to the restaurant for breakfast.
Stefan, the three ladies, and Riley, the second brother, went to work first as the Big Brother Group had an important meeting to attend.
“You two little sloths,” Riley said, propping his chin up with one hand and wearing a mischievous smile, “why did you take so long? I was just waiting for you two.”
“It’s been ages since I last saw my little sister,” Chloe said, stifling a yawn as the corners of her eyes remained red. “We talked for hours last night and only went to bed at sunrise”
Glancing at Kiran again, the little girl was visibly invigorated. Her complexion was rosy and bright, with no sign of fatigue. The female university student was truly remarkable; her intelligence was unparalleled.
Stefan, seated at the head of the dining table, cast a dark-eyed glance at Chloe, his lack of sleep evident.
That chair probably never envisioned that he would cause Sea Gate, the wealthiest man, to suffer from sleeplessness all niglu.
Chloe was mentally strong, so she ate and drank without letting what happened last night affect her.
Having already sent it, there was no need to confiscate the gifts sent by her big sister.

Chapter 117
“You’re not going anywhere.”Chloe, about to leave as breakfast was nearly finished, was halted by Stefan’s cold words.
“Little one, do you still hold the Sawle family close to your heart?”
“Everyone felt as if they were being suffocated.”
On the contrary, the big miss coolly declared, “No.”
“Does that mean you have fully emerged from the aftermath of a divorce?”
*Stefan, we’ve been friends for twenty-four years. If you’ve got something to say, just say it. Don’t dance around the subject and try me.” Chloe gracefully grabbed the napkin and delicately wiped her lips.
