A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased by Her EX-Husband novel Chapter 233

Chapter 233 

The entire auction came to an end in the reverse drama. 

Tonight, not only did they set the highest record in MINT magazine’s history for the charity event, but the reporters present also seemed to be in a celebratory mood, and the big news kept on coming. 

Upon receiving the news, Jake immediately dispatched his secretary and lawyer to the scene, escorting Aubree and the stunned Skyler into the car amidst the crowd. 

It was not an exaggeration to describe it as running around like a rat. 

“I am Sawle Group’s legal consultant. Miss Shelby, you publicly accused Third Miss Sawle of bribing you to steal KS Hotel’s commercial information. If there is no solid evidence, we will definitely sue you for slander! We will definitely pursue the matter to the end!” The lawyer left harsh words before leaving, her attitude very unyielding. 

Shelby saw that she was going to be sued, and her opponent was Sawle Group, so she was naturally afraid. 

However, what she was more afraid of was the deterrent force of heaven and hell that Joseph brought her. 

At this moment, the man looked at her with his handsome eyebrows. 

“I… I dare to say this, which means that I have evidence in my hands! Don’t think that I am afraid of you just because you are rich and powerful!” 

“I have changed my ways now. I will never be instigated by others again. I will not do bad things against my conscience anymore!” 

“Mr. Sawle…” The lawyer looked at Joseph awkwardly. 

The man was expressionless and his tone was cold, as if he had nothing to do with Sawle Group. “Go back and tell Director Sawle that the person who will fight him is not Miss Gondor, but the entire KS WORLD.” 

Also, him, Joseph thought in his heart. 

This time, it was the lawyer’s turn to be afraid. 

Chloe was the daughter of the Thorp family. If this matter became big, it would be offending the entire Thorp Group! The Director Thorp, CEO Oscar, and the King family behind Second Madame, which one of them was easy to deal with? Wasn’t this stirring up a whole chain or something? 

“Apologies should be offered when due, and punishments accepted when deserved. Reversing the truth and aiding in unjust acts only serves to make us the laughingstock in the eyes of outsiders.” 

Joseph curled his lips coldly and turned to look for Chloe. 

Unexpectedly, the little girl had already disappeared without a trace. His zealous heart was once again abandoned in the cold icehouse. 

Alice still had other important itinerary, so Chloe sent her to the underground parking lot. 

“Miss Thorp, you really amazed me tonight.” 

“Sure enough, Oscar’s sister won’t disappoint me,” Alice said as she gently hugged her. 

“That’s because I’m the elder brother’s sister. Look, I have a filter.” Chloe smiled humbly. 

“No, from the first time I came into contact with you, your temperament, your thoughts, and your insight made me admire you very much. I think we will be very good friends.” Alice said sincerely. 

“Oh… Couldn’t we be very good relatives?” Chloe raised her eyebrows and teased her. 

Hearing the implication, Alice’s usually unsmiling face turned red. She said softly, “Baby, I will be fifty years old next year. Although I like Oscar very much, I can’t delay him.” 

“So what if you are fifty? My dad and his third wife are even twenty-five years apart. I see them having a great time together every day.” 

Chloe patted Alice’s back in a particularly heroic manner. “Madam Alice, life is short. Don’t make the choice to make yourself regret. If you really like my big brother, reach out bravely. Even if you can’t be together in the end, don’t let your life have regrets.” 

“Alexa.” 

Alice suddenly exclaimed, “Have you ever had a choice in your life that you regret? Any regrets?” 

Chloe’s heart tip almost unnoticeably released a hint of pain. A corner tucked away in the depths of her heart, hidden in the shadows, seemed to have been quietly ripped open by someone. 

However, she only lightly curved her lips and smiled in relief. “To be honest, I had a choice to regret. But now that things have come to this, I have no more regrets.” 

She regretted having once married him. 

She had no regrets because she had married him. 

It sounded contradictory, but it was her true state of mind. 

Alice got into the car, and Chloe watched her leave. 

“Alexa!” 

“Miss Thorp! Please wait a minute!” 

A large group of reporters swarmed in like they had hit the jackpot, surrounding Chloe excitedly. 

At this time, Jordan was still taking care of the aftermath in the field, and she did not have any bodyguards with her. Although these reporters did not have any ill intentions, they still forced her to stop. 

“Miss Alexa! How are you going to pursue the case of Skyler copying your work? Will you sue her?” 

“Did Skyler provoke the female reporter with the last name Gondor to divulge the confidential information of KS WORLD Hotel, resulting in the termination of your partnership with Ada? Will KS Group and Sawlè Group be facing legal action?” 

“Just now, Ada has clearly stated that he will cancel the cooperation with Sawle Group. Will the two of you let bygones be bygones and continue the cooperation?” 

Chloe had been busy the whole day, and now faced with so many questions, she tensed up, and the pain in her stomach came back again. 

Her hands were clenched tightly, and her smooth forehead was covered with sweat, and her face was a little pale. 

But her clear eyes were still shining, and she did not look sickly at all. 

“I…” 

Before Chloe could finish her words, a tall figure suddenly broke through the crowd and arrived in front of her without hesitation. He opened his arms and protected her under his body, helping her resist the gradually chaotic scene. 

Her line of sight was a little dazed in an instant. 

The next second, a clear voice sounded in her ears, “Everyone, these questions will be answered by KS later.” 

“Miss Thorp is not feeling well. Please make way, I want to take her to the hospital.” 

Chloe’s pupils contracted as she stared at Jerome’s grave and worried face in surprise. 

This man had not appeared in front of her the entire night. How could he tell that she was feeling unwell? 

In a daze, the three years of suffering and suffering were all vividly remembered. 

When she was by Joseph’s side, that man had never shown any concern for her. Even during those days when she was in so much pain after the miscarriage that she couldn’t get out of bed, her plea for a glass of warm water was coldly rejected by 

him. 

Even if he didn’t know about her physical condition at that time, he didn’t do such a small thing for her. It could be seen that he didn’t put her in his heart, nor did he put her in his eyes. 

There was a saying that details defeated love. If that was the case, then her love for Joseph had been riddled with holes in those three years, and she had suffered a crushing defeat. 

Regret? Regret? 

‘She couldn’t blame anyone. 

Jerome saw a drop of crystal sweat flowing down Chloe’s forehead. He felt a strong pain in his heart. He frowned and held her up. His left arm seized her soft waist. 

“Is it very uncomfortable?” He asked in a hoarse voice by her ear. 

“Yes.” Chloe gasped for breath lightly. One more word would make the pain intensify. 

“Can you make it to the hospital? Do you want to call an ambulance?” 

Jerome held her waist with his slender hands, and every word that spilled on her ears was full of hot affection. 

“It doesn’t matter. I won’t die,” she said with a forced smile. 

Jerome had a cold personality and had never felt sorry for anyone except for his Chloe. 

Seeing her so weak, his heart gradually melted and gradually softened. He only wanted to dote on her. 

“I’m here. Don’t panic. I’ll send you off.” 

Jerome supported her and used his body as a shield to protect her as she slowly walked forward. 

“Sir, may I know who you are?” When the reporter saw that the man was so intimate with Miss Thorp, he could not help but 

be curious. 

There was no emotion in Jerome’s eyes as he said indifferently, “Xavy Group’s Jerome Xavier.” 

Xavy Group was a hundred billion-dollar wealthy family, on par with Sawle Group. 

No ordinary man could get close to Miss Thorp; it took a family like the Sawles and the Xaviers to be deemed worthy of Sea Gate’s wealthiest woman, and the eldest daughter of the Thorp family, a renowned jewelry designer. 

“Young Master Xavier, may I ask what your relationship with Miss Thorp is?” 

“Are you dating?” 

Chloe was in such agony that her eyes rolled back in her head. 

This bunch of media dogs were really boring. A man and a woman could only be a couple? Couldn’t they be sisters? 

“I am Miss Thorp’s flower protector.” 

Jerome lowered his long eyelashes and looked at the person in his arms. It was as if the whole world was isolated from him. Only she could connect with him. “I am also Miss Thorp’s suitor.” 

Chloe’s eyes widened. 

Everyone cried out in alarm! 

The flashlights flashed like stars, exposing them without reservation! 

Tonight, this 

group of media dogs were even worse than dogs! 

Suddenly, another figure that was as tall as a sculpture rushed to Chloe’s side like a gust of wind. 

Without saying a word, he directly pulled the little girl away from Jerome’s arms and held her waist with an irresistible force. He silently and efficiently brought her out of the crowd.
