Chapter 116
A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased by Her EX-Husband
Chapter 116 Helena was ready to brave the fierce lightning, provided her third and fourth sisters remained undetected.
âThen why didnât you tell me?! The child doesnât know, donât you still know in your heart?â
âYouâve seen her grow up. Just look at her anguish in the flames â donât you feel anything in your heart?!â Stefan roared with rage, like a blazing cauldron.
âMy mistake, Stefan, itâs all my mistake.â
âDonât fault Chloe; if you must point the finger, point it at me. Iâm not concerned enough about Chloe,â Heleria slowly rose. The noblewoman of the King family could not bow any lower.
Chloeâs heart constricted. Before she could speak up to defend Helena, Freya, who had a short temper, abruptly rose from the couch and declared, âStefan, donât blame Second Sister. Iâm to blame too!â
âI was already aware of Chloeâs marriage!â
âWhat?!â Stefanâs eyes were about to pop out of his head..
âAnd me...â
Sia meekly lifted her arm. I... I had already figured it out...â
âSia! Even you... have picked up bad habits... Youâve been misled by them!â Stefan was perplexed. When had his little lotus learned to be duplicitous?
Chloeâs eyes warmed involuntarily.
Even if Stefan wanted to make things difficult, he would not be held accountable for the consequences to the public.
âDad, take it easy. The three ladies are all looking out for you. The less you know, the healthy you are!â Riley quickly popped his head out and tried to make peace, bringing a delicate teacup in front of his elderly father, looking like a kicked puppy.
âDarn you!â
Stefan was usually elegant and profound, yet now he was so enraged that he was swearing like a mighty warlord, as if he could tear the roof off!
âWait, no! Donât tell me even the two of you have...
Oscar and Riley glanced at each other and simultaneously coughed.
See! See!
This entire family were all actors!
In his eyes, they were behaving wildly, and he was the only one foolishly standing in the dark!
Stefan was an all-powerful force in the business world, playing the game of life with people for a lifetime, yet he never anticipated being played by his own family in the end.
He roared in anger, got up without a glance back, and stormed upstairs.
âStefan, arenât you eating?â Sia asked urgently, but there was no reply.
âFourth sister, why donât you go upstairs and try to talk to Stefan? Youâre so gentle and he usually listens to you.â Helena sighed helplessly.
âI... I donât dare take the risk. Iâll leave him some of his favorite dishes and then have them delivered to him.â Sia was aware that this was a serious situation, and she was scared.
âStefan is usually in a foul temper and likes to remain in his treasure trove... Wow! Does that mean he?!*
Freya broke out in a cold sweat as soon as she finished speaking, and then heard Stefanâs scream from upstairs.
âCall the police! Call the police! The one-hundred-million-dollar yellow rosewood chair has disappeared!â
This dinner was finished amidst chickens and dogs jumping.
Had it not been for everyoneâs insistence, Chloe felt that Stefan could have accomplished the peculiar task of driving through the night to Medo and requesting his grandfather to return the yellow rosewood chair.
As he grew older, Stefanâs character became increasingly perverse. In the ancient world, ordinary people were not hardened enough to find the good in things, so Stefanâs skin had thickened and his temper had become more volatile over the past two years.
No woman would likely be fond of the current Director Thorp, even if he offered payment.
1/3 10:52 Chapter 116 In the evening. Chloe pulled Kiran close and said a lot of things. The two sisters hadnât talked enough, so they decided to take a shower together, blow-dry their hair and skin, and then lay on the bed to scratch each otherâs itchy flesh.
âBy the way, sis.â Kiran said, resting her chin on her hands as she lay on the bed, âdo you like the birthday present I gave you?â
âI absolutely adore it. Iâm so pleased with it. Great, I hung it in the book room of my Medo villa. When I put it up, your brother Jordan saw it and thought it was a 3D printed photo of me! It was incredibly lifelike!â
âHe wasnât one to lavish praise on others, but that day he gave you a huge compliment.â
Chloeâs eyes were filled with adoration as she tenderly clasped her sisterâs hand in her own. âLittle sister, she said, âyou should use those delicate hands of yours to apply for a loan. Why donât I get you a high-end insurance policy for them? You are the pride of the Thorp family!â
âSis, donât give me so much credit. My embroidery isnât nearly as good as Momâs,â Kiran said, her cheeks blushing and forming two adorable dimples.
She was delighted to have Chloeâs approval.
She was even more delighted that Brother Jordan had praised her, so much so that she was afraid she wouldnât be able to sleep tonight due to her excitement.
âNot only have you inherited Siaâs singing and dancing talents, but youâve also been blessed with her skillful hands. In the future, Iâll introduce you to a top fashion designer. Together, youâll bridge two worlds and Iâll make you famous. Iâll help you gradually make your way into the fashion industry. What do you think of that?â
âThank you, sister, Kiran whispered in a low voice, without much confidence, but I... I want to go into the entertainment industry.
After all, Iâm studying at the Medo Film Academy. I hope to become an excellent actor after I graduate.â
Due to Siaâs former domineering status in the entertainment industry during her youth, her father strongly opposed her attending film school and entering the entertainment circle..
After more than half a year of studying under Stefan, she eventually dropped out of England and returned to Medo alone.
Despite his reluctance, Stefan eventually acquiesced, but with an ultimatum: upon completion of her studies, she had to obey her familyâs arrangements, or else she would no longer be able to claim that she was Stefanâs daughter.
In order to realize her dream, she had to establish a reputation in the entertainment industry and make her father reevaluate his career and her.
âSo thatâs your plan. Fantastic! You have a vision, and your sister will back you up with all her might!â
Chloe hugged Kiranâs shoulder, her eyes glistening with worries. âBut there are so many negatives in the entertainment industry.
Youâre just starting out, and if you donât have money or connections, no one will give you a chance. Itâs impossible for you to get a decent opportunity.â
âWhen you go to the crew to try on a scene after graduation, donât be polite; just write âMy dad is Stefanâ on the data and I promise youâll be free and unimpeded!â
âSister, Dad hates it so much when I enter the entertainment industry. I donât want to make him unhappy.â
âAnd, thereâs no satisfaction in getting a chance like this. I donât want to take the easy way out. I just want to put in the effort and demonstrate my decision with strength,â Kiran said, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
âBirds have wings and people have aspirations. Itâs no surprise that you, our Thorp Groupâs daughter, have such lofty ambitions!â
Chloe sighed softly and pinched her delicate little face. âIâm worried youâll get the short end of the stick, sis.â
Kiran was good in every way, but her gentleness and reserve stemmed from her following Siaâs lead.
In this world of the entertainment industry, where the strong prey on the weak, she would be devoured.
âSister,â Kiran pondered for a while before quietly inquiring. âMay I pose a query?â
âDo you want to inquire about your ex-brother-in-law?â
âYes,â
Kiran nodded vigorously, unable to hide her regret. âWhy do you seek a divorce? Wasnât your former brother-in-law treating you kindly?â
âThereâs nothing wrong with it. We just donât fit together, Chloe responded nonchalantly.
âOh... my former brother-in-law is the president of Sawle Group. He must be very occupied and doesnât have time to accompany you. He must have neglected you, which is why you two parted ways.â
âWhy didnât you surmise that he was having an affair, so I chose to end the marriage?â Chloe asked, frowning.
âThatâs impossible,â Kiran dismissed, waving her hand.
10:32 Chapter 116 -â âWhat do you mean?â
âIsnât he scared of death, given his wealth? Hasnât he spent his money?â
Chloe burst out laughing, her cruel character evidently stable even at home.
At that moment, her phone rang.
Chloe grabbed it and examined it. The name âJosephâ was so dazzling!
Her face darkening, with fear that Kiran would think too much, she quickly slipped on her velvet slippers and hurried to the small living room to answer the phone.
âWhat are you up to?â
âYou responded swiftly this time,â Joseph said in a low, magnetic voice.
âAh, then remember to give a five-star rating, dear,â Chloe said mockingly, not taking him seriously.
Joseph choked and murmured, âIâll be let go tomorrow, so Iâll be back at Mazeland Manor.â
âDischarge tomorrow? So urgent, are you in a rush to be reborn?â Chloe sneered coldly.
âDonât forget to make your way to Mazeland Manor tomorrow. Iâll be expecting you.â
no âI havenât got the time, and I canât go back there. Donât reach out to me again. Iâm hanging up âDonât you still have a lot of stuff with me? Arenât you going take it with you?â Joseph asked in a deep tone.
