Chapter 136
A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased by Her EX-Husband
Chapter 136 When Chloe came back to her villa, it was already the break of dawn.
Kiran was worried about her sister, clinging to hope and unable to sleep, her eyes red-rimmed from the heat, a pitiful sight.
âKiran, donât beat yourself up Your sister is okay. Donât you have school tomorrow morning? You should get some rest Chloe moved closer and embraced her.
âSister, am 1. especially worthless? When I was young, you were the one who shielded me. As I grew older... I still couldnât do anything for you... Kiran pressed her lips together, her eyes brimming with tears.
âWhat foolishness are you spouting, my dear?â
âThe Thorp family is blessed to have both you and Sia, making the home atmosphere so pleasant. You are the youngest and most cherished member of us all.â
âIf you truly wish to do something for me, then strive to make your dream a reality. When youâve established yourself in the entertainment industry, I still need you to be a representative of our generation.â
âSister, trust me... Iâm sure to make it!â Kiran wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded determinedly.
Kiran, after giving the pillow a quick wash, touched it and instantly drifted off to sleep.
Chloe walked out of the room after covering her sister with a blanket.
Jordan was already waiting for her in the study room.
âGrace appears to be spending the night in the hospital for some purpose. Have you discovered the cause?â The warmth in Chloeâs eyes vanished, and she perched on the sofa with a frosty look âWe located it. Grace attempted suicide, but was saved in time. She has now gone through the most dangerous phaseâ
Jordan paused, and his deep eyes glinted with a chill Joseph has been with her constantly.â
âOf course,â Chloe morked. âLittle Green Tea didnât want his life for her. Even if he turned into a corpse, he had to stand by Graceâs bedside she didnât care a jot.â
âYoung Mistress, what is your opinion of Grace?â
âGrace wants to take her own life. Thatâs the most hilarious thing Iâve heard all year!â
Chloe leaned her body, shut her eyes and massaged her aching temples. âShe hasnât married into the Sawle Group. She hasnât killed me yet. How can she stand to die?â
âFurthermore, those who truly wish to die will not be found out. If they were to pass away, wouldnât they be disheartened?â
âSo, are you implying that Grace is attempting to cause Joseph distress?â
Jordan frowned in confusion. âBut why did she take this risk? Isnât she supposed to marry Joseph soon? Could it be that....
Joseph doesnât want to wed her? Is he making her do this?â
âWho knows, perhaps she wed a white rose and developed a fondness for some red rose. I have liecome a mosquitoâs meal, and Grace canât guarantee that she wonât become a sticky mess âJoseph is an inconstant person, so itâs not unexpected for him to leave anyone behind.â
âThatâs true, but I still hope they can tie the knot without any further issues and live happily ever after. Letâs not hurt else again!â
anyone Jordan ground his teeth in anger and asked, âYoung miss, who do you think dispatched the individual who assaulted you tonight?
Aubree? She is still at Second Young Masterâs residence. She wouldnât have the opportunity to organize these matters.â
âThat person is Chinese.â
Chloeâs eyes gradually darkened. âWhatâs more, heâs a martial artist, his fists and feet like the wild techniques of the underground boxing ring, not formulaic but lethal strikes.â
âAubree didnât have the opportunity to act. Skyler didnât have the privilege of knowing someone like this. Only Grace had this fortune.
âShe had resided in Nialzuct for three years, and her second brother had conducted an investigation into her. Her social connections were highly intricate; she had been involved with numerous men. It was conceivable that such a naive yet highly evolved carbon-based being could be utilized by her.â
Jordanâs eyes trembled as he felt the Eldest Young Ladyâs analysis to be very reasonable.
âItâs no use speculating why the man attacked me. Go ask him tomorrow and youâll find out.â
Chloe suddenly had a thought and leaned forward. âJust to make sure, you didnât tell my big brother anything, did you?â
âHow could I not comply with your instructions? I didnât say a single thing to President Thorp,â Jordan sighed in résignation.
âPhew. Thatâs goodâ
Before she had hushed speaking, her phone rang.
On the screen, the two words âbig brother made Chloeâs hair stand on end, and her pupils contracted.
Grabbing the phone hurriedly, she dared not pick it up.
Jordanâs phone rang again immediately, and he dared not ignore it.
âPresident Thorp,â he said, trying to steady his voice, âyouâre searching for me.â
âLet Chloe be the one to answer the phone.â
Jordan didnât switch on the speaker, yet Oscarâs voice was as hushed as the sound of a car door being unlocked, causing Chloeâs eyelids to flutter!
âFirst, the First Miss has dozed off. President Thorp, you observe...
Jordan, you are becoming increasingly promising. Are you two now conspiring to deceive me?
âOscar rarely became angry. But when he did, it was a real deterrent. Ill say it again: Let Chloe answer the phone. Otherwise, come sunrise, you wonât be the First Missâs secretary anymore!â
Chloeâs heart pounded like a drum as she nervously took the phone and held it close to her ear, her voice trembling yet soft, and sweet.
âBig Brother is watching youâ
Oscar inhaled deeply, as if trying to contain some kind of longing, and spoke in a hushed tone, âChloe, come out, I have something I need to ask you.â
Chloe, her heart perturbed, walked out of the villa.
Oscar stood gloomily in front of the black Aston Martin, illuminated by the dim light of the street lamp.
The grey, elegant suit was strict and solemn, and under the lampâs shadow, his long legs were awe-inspiring and the extreme lines, evoking fantasies in people.
Chloeâs heart flustered like a little ghost upon seeing her beautiful big brother, as if she were meeting the King of Hell.
âBig brother...â She sauntered in front of Oscar, her checks flushed as she puckered her lips.
âThe wind is chilly in the evening. Letâs chat in the car.â
Without a word, Oscar removed his suit jacket and draped it around Chloeâs slender frame, then gently guided her into the car.
The siblings sat in the back row, and Oscar finally couldnât take it anymore. He grabbed her shoulder and asked anxiously, âThat killer, where did he hurt you?!
âArm...â
Chloe, lowering her eyelids in shame, felt like a child who had made a mistake, daring not to lie again.
Oscarâs handsome face was deathly pale, trembling as he reached for her slender arm and carefully peeled back her sleeve.
The white gauze entered his eyes, causing his eye sockets to instantly redden!
âItâs alright, big brother. It didnât do any damage to my bones and muscles, and the pain has gone away nowâ Chloe was anxious that her big brother would be concerned, so she quickly clarified.
Oscar slid her sleeve back down and clasped her cool little hand.
Chloe was held tightly by her elder brother until her fingers were pale and flushed, and she hung her head in shame and remorse. âBig brother, Iâm sorry. I shouldnât have kept it from you... But I think I can handle this on my own. I just... donât. want you to worry about me.â
After breaking the silence, Oscarâs eyes turned red and he uttered, word for word, âIf he has harmed my sister, he must be put to death.â
Chloeâs pupils constricted and her heart constricted.
The big brother before her had been standing on the ground for so long, but at this moment, it was as if he had transformed into the powerful King of the Dark Forces, the King of the Night, revered by tens of thousands of people â the War God.
âBig bro. I understand youâre trying to help me let out my frustration, but you promised me.â
Chloe bugged him tightly and rubbed her delicate cheeks against his chest. âNow that youâre back, letâs start fresh. We canât go back to what happened before.â
âThat guy is just a puppet. What good would it do to turn him to dust? The real culprit is still out there!â
âOur Thorp family has always been adept at seizing opportunities. We have such a great advantage in our grasp. If we donât make the most of it, wouldnât it be a waste of this âbig giftâ that they have bestowed. upon us?â
Oscarâs killing intent slowly faded away as he took a deep breath and extended his arm to the passenger seat. He grabbed a leather pouch and offered it to Chloe.
âOpen it up and have a peek.â
Chloe blinked her eyes and withdrew the document. Instantly, she was taken aback. âThis is...â
âJordan informed me about that man ages ago. He was more eager than you to discover the mastermind behind the scenes, so he took a short cut and requested my assistance.â
âItâs just that he didnât mention your injury to me. Heh, he really knows how to dodge the serious and the trivial!â Oscar held back his rage.
Jordan, that was unable to manage the door, should just changed his name to Big Mouthed Jordan!
âI was the one who advised him not to speak. Heâs in a tough spot. Donât hold it against him. Even though Chloe was angry inside, Jordan was still part of her team, so she had to stand up for him.
âIf it happens again, I will make him to return and live in ease as the third young master of the Stewart family. No one can impede it.â President Oscar glared at him with a murderous expression that was terrifying.
Chloe curled her lips silently, like a quail.
The first lady was unafraid of Stefan, but when her big brother became angry, she transformed into a white rabbit, instantly becoming very obedient.
Chloe scrutinized the information of the strange man intently.
Suddenly, her beautiful eyes widened and she exclaimed, âItâs him?!â
