A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased by Her EX-Husband novel Chapter 172

Chapter 172 

With his back facing her, Joseph’s heart trembled and his lips uncontrollably curved upwards. 

However, he actually did not have the courage to face her for a moment. Jerome’s lips were tightly pursed and the haze in his eyes raged. 

Now, although Chloe and Joseph had divorced, and they had not been able to have a good time, they had scattered and turned the world upside down, but he still clearly felt that there were still countless strands of obscure emotions between the two of them. 

“Joseph, you’re already here. Speak clearly before you leave.” 

“Don’t be sneaky like a thief. I’m afraid I’ll have nightmares tonight.” Chloe took a step forward with a cold 

face and stared at the man’s straight back. 

Joseph’s Adam’s apple trembled. He turned to face her and said word by word, “It’s nothing. I just have insomnia these days.” 

Chloe frowned slightly, not understanding what it had to do with his insomnia when he came to Sea Gate. 

It couldn’t be that this dog man had insomnia, and it had something to do with her, right? 

How could everything be blamed on her? Logically, she didn’t provoke anyone! 

“If you have insomnia, then take the sleeping pills or you count sheep; you won’t be able to solve any problems here.” 

“It has been resolved.” 

“I think I can sleep well when I go back tonight.” Joseph stared at her with his dark eyes. 

After that, he turned around again and left. 

Chloe stared at his slightly bleak back. It was not until the black sports car completely disappeared in Sea Gate’s night that she angrily spat out: 

“Psychosis!” 

When he returned to the car, Joseph suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of tiredness. His whole body seemed to have been scattered, and his eyes were even more red than before.

He crossed his arms on the steering wheel, the muscles of his arms were tight, and his breathing was slightly hurried and full. 

Watching Chloe and Jerome enter Tong Garden’s door and then close it heavily, his heart also shook heavily. 

Joseph picked up his phone with trembling fingers and dialed Max’s number. 

“Mr. Sawle, what instructions do you have?” 

“Check.” 

“Huh? What?” Max was dumbfounded. 

“The relationship between Thorp Group and Xavy Group, the relationship between Chloe and Jerome.” 

“Chloe… is not a woman who is easily captured. I don’t believe that the relationship between them is like what Jerome said.” Joseph gritted his teeth. 

“Yes! I will investigate it now!” 

Max was secretly delighted, and his tone became cheerful. He mustered up his courage and muttered, “If you had trusted Young Madam so much earlier, why would Young Madam leave you? Why would those flies fly around in Young Madam’s eyes…” 

“If you say one more word, go work in the African branch!” Mr. Sawle ground his teeth. 

Max wailed, “Your Majesty, please calm down! This servant knows his mistake!” 

Chloe already knew that Joseph had appeared in front of Tong Garden’s door. 

Originally, she didn’t want to pay attention to him. No matter what that dog man was doing outside, she just wanted him to drink the northwest wind. 

Unexpectedly, Jerome actually went out to see him, so she couldn’t let a trouble become two troubles, so she could only personally come out and cut the mess. 

This small episode did not affect the atmosphere of the two parties. The dinner ended in a peaceful atmosphere. 

Stefan returned to the study room accompanied by Secretary Jared, and

then secretly called Oscar and Riley over. 

“Dad, why are you looking for us?” Oscar asked. 

“How much do you know about the matter between Chloe and Fourth Young Master Xavier? Be honest and confess honestly.” Stefan shook his robe and sat on the sofa. 

The two brothers looked at each other. Riley opened his mouth and sold his big brother, “Dad, then you have to ask big brother. I don’t know anything about Chloe and Fourth Young Master Xavier together tonight!” Oscar did not reveal anything and was very calm. 

“Oscar, how far have the two of them gone?” 

Stefan’s tone was serious as if he was interrogating her. “From childhood to adulthood, Chloe has only eaten the shrimp that you and I have peeled. When has she ever accepted the love of another man! Tonight, Fourth Young Master Xavier was too attentive to Chloe. He was just about to feed Chloe with his own hands, but Chloe did not refuse.” 

“Tell me, what is their relationship now? Did Chloe really like him?” “Dad, from what you said, you don’t seem to like Fourth Young Master Xavier,” Oscar said bluntly. 

“…” Stefan curled his lips and did not say it clearly. 

“Fourth Young Master Xavier and Chloe have known each other since they were young. They met again and got along very well. It is rare for Chloe to have a man who she does not resist too much. Moreover, Xavy Group and our family are old friends.” 

“If Fourth Young Master Xavier can really walk with Chloe, it is not a bad thing.” Oscar calmly expressed his thoughts. 

“You two are well aware of what Uncle Xavier meant by coming over tonight. He intended to marry our Thorp Group. Otherwise, why did he bring two unmarried sons over? He is aiming at Chloe!” 

“But I will never agree to this marriage.” Stefan lowered his eyes and shook his head. 

When he said this, the expressions of the Thorp Group brothers changed slightly. 

They did not expect that their father would have such a resistance toward Xavy Group. 

“Dad, you… don’t tell me you have an argument with Uncle Xavier? You

won’t secretly blacklist his WhatsApp, right?” 

Riley couldn’t help but give Stefan a thumbs-up. “Big brother is really a big brother. You can still talk and laugh with each other when you have a quarrel. I definitely won’t be able to swallow this meal if you want me!” 

“How did you become a prosecutor with your brain that has been blocked by the door? Did they give you the green light because they told you my name?” 

“Chloe is my most beloved daughter. She just got away from Sawle Group’s fire pit. I can’t send her back to Xavier family’s tiger wolf nest!” Stefan rolled his eyes at Riley in frustration and said in a low muffled voice, “Chloe is my most beloved daughter. She just got away from Sawle Group’s fire pit. I can’t send her back to Xavier family’s tiger wolf nest!” “Do you think the Xavier family is some kind of paradise? It’s like a competition for the coveted feather in the princess’s mirror or the golden hook hidden in the king’s sleeve. None of Old Xavier’s four children are easy to deal with. They engage in endless open and covert conflicts. Marrying into that family means getting caught up in their internal disputes and constant infighting. It’s going to be nothing but trouble if you go there.” 

“What’s more, Jerome is the son that Old Xavier doesn’t dote on the most. He does a lot of business abroad, but the initial stages of accumulation are all barbaric. It is impossible for him to clean up the business in his hands. It is not impossible for people with this kind of background to clear their own background by marriage with Thorp Group. It is not impossible to have a foothold in the country.” 

Riley was stunned. Oscar lowered his long eyelashes and could not help but purse his lips with self-blame. 

He wanted to let his sister start again, but he did not care about these deep problems and considered owing Zhou. 

“My daughter, Stefan, can add flowers to others, but she must not burn herself to light up others. I can’t bear it!”
