Chapter 298
Chloe did not feel embarrassed. If she was embarrassed, she was looking down on Jerome.
She was clear on who she liked and hated, but she would never say who she looked down on and who she looked down on. Her upbringing did not teach her to do so.
“It doesn’t matter. Since the people are not allowed to enter, let’s wait until it is open. Let’s go first.”
“If you want to ride a horse, you can go to my family’s horse farm. It’s the, same.” Chloe did not want to cause trouble for Jerome.
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Jerome grabbed her hand and slowly clenched it. “Chloe, don’t go. We have to go in tonight.”
Chloe’s fingertips trembled and he instinctively wanted to pull out his hand, but he could not.
Jerome’s tone was very strong.
-From the time she met him again until now, this was the first time she
saw him show his domineering side.
The two bodyguards looked at each other and said coldly, “You should leave quickly. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being impolite. Second Young Master of Xavier family is inside to receive guests. Idiotic people are not allowed to go in and disturb him!”
Chloe rolled her eyes.
Idiotic people? They probably haven’t brushed their teeth. Otherwise, they can’t be so arrogant.
“Oh, I see.”
“What if I insist on going in?” Jerome asked calmly.
“Are you looking for trouble?”
One of the bodyguards glared at him and tried to push him.
Unexpectedly, his hand didn’t even touch the man’s clothes. He suddenly felt a flash in front of his eyes, and then his arm made a “ah” sound,
followed by a scream!
Chloe’s eyes trembled, and he watched the bodyguard fall over his shoulder and heavily fell to the ground by Jerome, unable to get up!

Seeing this, the other was furious and also rushed up.
“Ah!” Painful X2, broken bone X2.
“Chloe, let’s go.” Jerome took out a white silk handkerchief from his bosom and carefully wiped his hands. He spoke to Chloe in a gentle
voice.
His eyes were filled with the air of a refined scholar, as if the rough and rough man from before had nothing to do with him.
Chloe: “…”
Jerome bit her lower lip, the corners of her eyes were gentle, and she went forward to hold her hand again, walking forward without looking at her.
“Wait… wait! Who… are you” The bodyguard on the ground asked with a painful expression.
“My surname is Xavier,” Jerome said with a smile.
The two bodyguards collapsed to the ground, their faces pale with fright.
On the other side, Joseph, who could not contact Chloe, was anxious and restless in the car.
“Mr. Sawle, can’t you contact Mrs. Sawle?” Max was also anxious.
“Yes. In the past, although she hated me, she would never ignore my call.”
“Max, did I do something wrong to make her unhappy again?” The man clenched his cell phone tightly. His palms were so nervous that they were sweating.
After my head was injured, my memory has been a little poor recently. Can you help me recall what I said wrong and what I did wrong?
Looking at the president’s anxious look, the big boss who was talking and laughing in the business field was simply not a person!
“Er… You haven’t seen Mrs. Sawle in these days, and you have no chance to provoke her?”
“Eh? Could it be that Mrs. Sawle had a dream last night and dreamed about the blocked areas that you filled up for her in the past. So when she woke up, she became angrier, so she ignored you?”
Joseph was speechless. “… A dream?”
Max put on an “experienced” expression. “In the past, when I was in
277
13:08
college, I had a girlfriend. She scolded me all the time. One day, she dreamed that I had an affair. The next day, she quarreled with me for a whole day! Soon after, we separated!”
“Do you think my Chloe is the kind of woman you know?” Joseph asked coldly.
Only then did Max realize that he had said the wrong thing. His forehead was full of cold sweat. He lowered his head and bowed. “This servant doesn’t dare! Your Majesty, please calm down!”
Joseph’s face was full of worry. He held his forehead and sighed.
How could he care about his dreams?
However, he was indeed a beast in the past, and he probably left a shadow in Chloe’s heart.
“Why don’t you try and contact President Thorp? Didn’t we hear that Mrs. Sawle went back to Sea Gate’s hometown? Then your brother-in-law must know Mrs. Sawle’s whereabouts!” Max thought of a good idea.
“I am the president of Sawle Group. I can’t even find a single person, and I have to call her family?” Joseph glanced at him coldly.
-“What if Oscar doesn’t know? Do I have to call all her brothers? Go out,
don’t be an eyesore.”
“Yes, yes, yes… This servant will take his leave!”
Max was well aware that his master was in a bad mood and quietly retreated outside the door.
As soon as the door closed, Joseph picked up his phone and dialed Oscar’s number.
“Mr. Sawle, are your injuries better?” Oscar’s tone was calm, and no other emotions could be heard.
“President Thorp, Chloe… Are you with her?” There was a hint of urgency in Joseph’s voice.
“Chloe isn’t with me. Why? Can’t Mr. Sawle contact my sister?”
“She didn’t pick up my call. I called her several times, but she didn’t pick up.”
“Oh, that’s normal.”
Joseph: “…”

“I don’t know where Chloe is either. She is no longer a child. There is no need to report everything to me in detail. Back then, for you, she did not
13:08
contact her family for a few years.”
“For me, she didn’t contact family for years. Why?” Joseph was shocked and asked sharply.
“Is Mr. Sawle looking for Chloe for an urgent matter? Is your head not feeling well?” Oscar asked.
“No… I’m just worried about her.”
“Don’t worry. Chloe has always known how to avoid danger and protect herself. When she wants to find you, she will naturally appear. If you can’t find her, there is only one possibility – she doesn’t want to see you for the time being.”
When Joseph heard this, the soft flesh of his heart seemed to be pricked by a very thin needle. Although there was no blood immediately, the subtle pain spread endlessly in his body, from a headache to a foot.
After hanging up the phone, he fell into a state of loss and loss. His phone was drenched in sweat from his palms.
However, what Oscar had said just now caused a ripple in his heart.
She had not contacted her family for a few years. Coincidentally, he had the same life experience.
Then, where had she gone and done in the years she had run away from home? Why had he never heard her mention it?

After entering the horse track, Jerome was still holding Chloe’s hand. “Jerome? Jerome? Fourth Young Master!”
Chloe called out to him three times in a row before he snapped back to reality. “What?”
She pursed her delicate pink lips and gave him a hard look before lowering her long eyelashes to look at their hands.
“I’m sorry, Chloe. I was in a hurry just now, so… I’m sorry.”
Jerome’s eyes flickered, and she slowly loosened the softness in her palm.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
They were adults. The man was unmarried, and the woman was not married. Moreover, she had already divorced once, so she was no longer a pure young girl who was about to bloom. It’s just to hold her hands. Therefore, Chloe took a deep breath and became serious, “Why didn’t
13:08[
you reveal your identity just now? If you made it clear, there wouldn’t be any misunderstanding, let alone making a move.”
“Chloe, do you think that if I reveal my identity, they can let me in?”
“I think they will only report to my second brother, and then I will still be shut out, and the result will be the same.”
Chloe didn’t ask further, and he was asking for trouble.
She had no intention of interfering in Xavier brothers’ fight, and that was not something an outsider like her could handle.
“Jerome, why did you bring me to the horse track? Riding a horse?”
“I’ll take you to see a horse. I guarantee that you will like it very much, very much.”
As he spoke, Jerome could not help but want to hold her hand.
He suddenly remembered her discomfort. His meridians were clearly separated, and his slender and clean hands were frozen in the air. His five fingers trembled and curled up.
Chloe’s heart also shrank with his fingertips.
-At this time, Jerome’s secretary ran over with a forehead full of sweat and
panting.
“Director Xavier! Not good!”
“What’s wrong?” Jerome frowned.
“You… The horse you gave to Miss Thorp… was led to the horse track by Second Young Master!”
Hearing this, Jerome pushed up his glasses. His eyes seemed to be on fire, and his expression was covered with a layer of dark frost.
On this side, Patt was leading a Ferghana Horse that had a perfect ratio, heroic appearance, and was completely golden in champagne.
“Second Young Master, this batch of horses of yours is very rare! I’ve only heard of them, but this is the first time I’ve seen them in my lifetime!”
