A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased by Her EX-Husband novel Chapter 223

Chapter 223 

In no time at all, KS WORLD was ready to host a charity jewelry auction. 

Due to the charitable nature of this event, the KS party and MINT magazine didn’t do much promotion in the beginning, yet they still gained traction with Medo’s media. 

Famous stars fought fiercely to be on the cover influence. 

JT, the internationally renowned fashion magazine, a testament to its 

On the same day, the stars gathered, making the outside of the wine shop a lively scene. 

The security department dispatched all its members to maintain order, and the stars were cooperative in greeting the fans before quickly entering the venue to prevent any chaos from leading to a stampede. 

Once a well-appointed Lincoln Limousine pulled up, the crowd erupted into noise once more. 

The bodyguards opened the door, and out stepped Aubree and Skyler, both dressed in stunning evening gowns. 

The other women who had come to take part in the event all entered through the back door or VIP passage, while the mother and daughter pair remained unable to alter their fate. They seemed to need the flashing lights to keep them going, as if they would cease to progress if they were not illuminated every few days. 

“Hey! Look! Isn’t that Grace’s aunt?” 

Aubree’s ears were pierced by someone’s loud shout that echoed through the mountains and rivers, causing her face to turn green instantly. 

It took her many years to shed her moniker of “the cross-dressing female star” and “the mistress” and become the enviable wife of the chairman of the board. 

As a result of that notorious bitch, Grace, she has now given birth to a new code name – “Grace’s Aunt”! 

Although she was indeed Grace’s aunt, no matter how she viewed it now, it seemed as if everyone was reprimanding her! 

“Wow!” someone exclaimed. “It really is her!” 

“Did the prosecution summon her because of her involvement in bribery and corruption?” 

“Yes, yes, yes! She was eventually freed. Phew, the magnate Medo, the heavens are gloomy!” 

“I mean, is she feigning ignorance of the Internet? How can she still have the audacity to come out and play? Why is Jake not bothered by this woman?” 

“When I saw her now, I recalled the moment she bragged about her niece at Grace’s birthday celebration. In the end, Grace’s composure crumbled in the next instant. Is she really not playing around with Grace?!” 

“At that moment, her face was expressionless. I couldn’t help but chuckle!” 

Aubree’s face went from red to black as her legs became so stiff that they refused to obey her. Without Skyler’s support, she wouldn’t have been able to walk. 

She had originally assumed that, after such a lengthy period, people had already forgotten about that issue 

Only now did she comprehend that humiliation was ingrained in her very being. The self-esteem she had so painstakingly nurtured for many years had been completely destroyed by that harlot, Grace! 

Amid a chorus of jeers, Aubree and Skyler rushed into the hotel’s main entrance. 

“Mom, it would be best if you kept a low profile in the future. Try to avoid being seen in public.” 

Skyler pouted gloomily, “Look at you, you made me a laughingstock when you showed up. It’s really mortifying…” 

“Skyler! You disrespectful daughter, do you really think your own mother is shameful?” 

Aubree pinched her arm angrily, causing her to break out in a cold sweat. “Your mother, she had a big belly when she brought you to the Sawle family’s doorstep. I didn’t even feel embarrassed when I was disrespected and rolled my eyes at. Now, you actually don’t like me?” 

“If I hadn’t been so reckless and thrown away my life to bother your father, would you have become the daughter of Sawle Group? How could you have such a lavish life now? You really are an ungrateful wretch! Even if I had given birth to you, it would have been better to calm down!” 

Skyler, covering her bruised arm, was so harshly scolded by Aubree that she wished to flee. 

Ever since she was a child, her mother had a firm hold on her father’s heart and had often helped her pave the way and scheme, yet she still felt like an uncouth woman who was hard to be graceful. 

It was impossible to compare her to Zoey’s mother, the Thorp family’s Second Madame, and Helena, who all came from prestigious families; people had no choice in the matter of their parents, making it an impossible decision to make. 

Tonight’s event consisted of two parts: a cocktail party followed by an auction. 

As far as the eye could see at the cocktail party, the faces known to the public shone brightly, as if half of the entertainment industry had come to show their support! 

As the general manager of the hotel and the person in charge of the charity event, Chloe was naturally visited on the spot by media reporters. 

Facing the camera and microphone, she was generous and natural, answering with effortless ease. 

“President Thorp, Ada Wang has already selected Sawle Group hotel as the venue for her wedding. At this crucial moment, are you hosting a charity event in MINT magazine, thus competing with Sawle Group?” the reporter inquired. 

“I get that everyone has this notion. After all, it’s always been us and the Sawle Group in contention.” 

Chloe smiled faintly, “But this event was selected by MINT magazine. It was all a coincidence and I didn’t do it on purpose.” 

“Has the news already reported that Ms. Ada Wang chose KS WORLD Hotel as the wedding venue? What made her change her mind and opt for Sawle Group Hotel instead? Did something happen in between?” 

Chloe replied, “This pertains to the contract, which is the hotel’s internal business matter, so I’m unable to comment.” 

The reporter persisted, asking, “Was Ada Wang’s canceled collaboration with you and her subsequent transfer to Sawle Group due to her wedding being exposed?” 

Chloe’s eyes turned cold and dark, revealing nothing. 

Someone must have planted this reporter as that reporter asked too many questions!
