Chapter 140

Chapter 140 “Jordan, what’s the matter?” Chloe’s beautiful eyes were wide with surprise and she was a little frightened.

Jordan had never felt so miserable, his eyes red and lips pale, as if he were a homeless puppy drenched in rain.

“Jordan, did you come here for Aubree?”

Oscar strode steadily over to Chloe, his gaze still gentle. He wiped his slender, beautiful hands with a snow-white silk cloth.

Chloe, glancing at it, was surprised to find sporadic bloodstains on the white silk.

Sighing in her heart, she realized she couldn’t take care of him at first glance, so her big brother stepped in.

He denied her the chance to demonstrate her talent once more.

“I apologize... I’m truly sorry!” Jordan bowed deeply and expressed his remorse.

Just as Chloe was puzzled, Riley urgently called in.

“Second Brother?”

“Little sis, Aubree has already departed from me just now”

Riley’s tone was full of helplessness and self-blame “My team and I have done all we can to gather proof of Aubree’s misuse of authority and corruption, but it looks like she’s been prepared for a while. The blame hes with Alan”

*Furthermore, Jake encountered the most challenging Stewart family for her, headed by the young master. The lawyer, Johan, is particularly cunning and adept at exploiting loopholes. Unfortunately, I lack sufficient evidence, so I can only let Aubree return to the mountain.”

“It doesn’t matter, second brother. You’ve done your utmost. We’ve accomplished our objective. As long as we have Balin City’s project in our grasp, it’ll be alright. We can take our time to think about the rest.”

Chloe, the Emperor, did not realize that the attractive “eunuchs around her were longing to strip Aubree’s skin.

Although the woman was not a thing, the Young Miss was well-versed in the same principle: Haste Makes Waste.

Jake was still deeply obsessed with Aubree, and he was determined to do whatever he could to save her. The conflict between the two major consortiums had reached a boiling point, making it unfeasible to mobilize a large number of people.

“That little sister, Jordan has called me The kid was almost in tears. Convince him that this situation doesn’t involve him.”

Riley sighed. He was overthinking it for you. He was scared you’d be miserable. The mental strain was too much.”

“Yes, I got it”

After ending the call, Chloe comprehended the intricacies of the situation and looked at Jordan with a perplexed expression.

“Jordan...”

“Young Mistress.” Jordan lamented with red eyes, “the Stewart family has wronged you in this matter. I am willing to accept whatever punishment is due.” His sorrow was palpable, making it a heartbreaking sight.

Upon learning that his eldest brother had taken on Aubree’s case today, he was so enraged that he rushed to Johan’s law office and engaged in a heated altercation with Johan there.

“Back then, father was principled and inflexible. He had a spotless reputation. How many people had he wronged in his career?

As soon as he retired, those people were watching us, the Stewart family. They wanted to take revenge on father and bring down the Stewart family!”

“Without Director Thorp’s assistance and employing father as a legal advisor to safeguard us, how could our parents have enjoyed their twilight years in tranquillity? How could your law be so extensive!”

“Now that Young Miss wishes to handle Aubree, how can you defend the Sawle Group and assist Aubree in absolving her transgressions? If this isn’t exploiting others, then what is it?!”

Jordan hadn’t blushed in front of his big brother for twenty years, but this time, for Chloe, he was willing to make an exception “The Thorp Group has been generous to us, but that doesn’t mean our family has been bought by them! Not to mention the numerous court cases my father has won for Director Thorp over the years; even if Director Thorp has been generous, father has repaid for it!”

“As a professional lawyer, I view everyone as a client. If I’m able, I’ll take on the case with suitable conditions. This has no bearing on Sawle Group or Thorp Group!”

“But you, your parents have worked so hard to nurture you and give you the best education from a young age. They have pat in so much effort to make you stand out and achieve something great! They don’t want you to be a lackey for the Thorp family!”

Johan’s words cut deep into Jordan’s heart.

His heart was completely devoted to Chloe, but his family was holding him back.

He was too ashamed to face the Young Miss again.

Jordan, what on earth are you talking about?”

Chloe frowned and laughed, as if she were coaxing a child. A pair of white lands rested on his trembling shoulders and gently shook him. “Don’t blame yourself, and don’t let this issue cause any friction between your family. An Aubree is nothing more than a trifle, something even dogs would turn their noses up at. How could it possibly affect the relationship. between our two families? How could it possibly ruin the seven-colored mood of our Jordan “Young Miss Jordan’s voice cracked, his guilt palpable in his strained tones.

“I comprehend that Lawyer Stewart is managing Aubrer’s case excellently. I have no qualms.”

Chloe’s eyes were tranquil as she uttered earnestly, “A professional must act in a professional manner. A professional lawyer should not be swayed by the norms of society.”

“Since Sawle Group has proposed an acceptable arrangement to employ Lawyer Stewart, he should accept the case in accordance with his professional standards. If Thorp Group requires legal assistance in the future, I believe Lawyer Stewart will be willing to help. Don’t you conrur?”

Jordan shyly lowered his head and gave a slight nod.

The three of them got into the car, Oscar held Chloe’s hand and tenderly stroked it. “Chloe, what’s your plan for next?”

Locate the illegitimate daughter of Grace and Yates. However, this requires me to draw the snake out of its den.” Chloe’s bright eyes revealed a sly glint, and she narrowed her eyes slightly. “Didn’t Yates say that only Grace’s another, Willow, knows where the child is? Then let’s let Willow guide us, so we don’t have to do the digging ourselves.”

Oscar gave a mysterious smile and asked again, “And what about Grace? How will you handle her?”

“If you want her to perish, you have to drive her insane,”

Chloe was a bit drowsy Tears began to form at the corners of her eyes. She put her tiny hand over her mouth and stilled a yawn.

Isn’t she supposed to be getting married to Joseph soon? If I don’t let her shine on the dance floor, how can I let her be brokenhearted “Chlor, about Joseph Oscar recalled Yates words, “he’s truly sightless” His heart, which had been as tranquil as a still lake.

was stirred.

“Gosh, it’s been more than a couple of days since he’s had this illness. I’ve got my sight back, regardless of whether he’s blind or not. This kind of mangy mutt should seram out of here”

Suddenly, Chloe recalled something. She hastily grabbed her cell phone and displayed the photo of Jerome that she had clandestinely snapped. “Oh, by the way, big brother, let me show you someone. Do you recognize him?”

“When I was stabbed by Yates that day, thanks to this kind gentleman’s assistance, 1 only sustained minor injuries.”

Oscar was taken aback. Truly? Then you ought to be very grateful to him.”

“But he was being evasive with me. When I asked him, he wouldn’t tell me who he was Most importantly, he was act familiar with me”

actually Chloe’s curiosity was piqued as that man’s gentle, jade-like fare appeared in her mind.

Deep down in her bones, she had a desire to control a man, even though she was a girl. She couldn’t stand anyone who was beyond her control.

Oscar leaned in close to her and scrutinized the man in the photo.

His eyes widening suddenly, he turned to Chloe in surprise.

“Chloe, do you really not know him?”

“Ah?” Chloe was perplexed. “Do I know him?”

“When you were young, your relationship was quite good. I recall.”

“What!*

Chloe, bewildered, blinked her beautiful eyes and gazed at the photo.

She felt a sense of familiarity, yet couldn’t recall why.

“He’s your Uncle Xavier’s youngest son, Jerome. When he was a kid, he was a bit shy and didn’t like to chat. You were the only one who was willing to play with him. Have you really forgotten that?”

‘He... is little... scoundrel!”

Chloe was suddenly enlightened and exclaimed in disbelief, “Wow! What kind of grub did he consume? He’s grown so tall””

Late at night. Jerome’s private club was full of romance and charm.

In the intoxicating light and shadow, men and women fed each other wine and kissed, surrounded by pools of wine and forests of meat, and indulged in sex.

Jerome, alone in the dark, paid no heed to the absurdity of his surroundings, yet remained very elegant.

No woman dared to approach Fourth Young Master Xavier, knowing full well that he was cold, ruthless, and germaphobic, and not to be taken lightly; thus, no one wanted to risk investigating Medo in the future.

“Fourth Young Master, in two days’ time, I won’t be able to make it to our yacht party”

A drunken, affluent young master stumbled and plopped down next to Jerome, his countenance full of dejection. “My father told me to go on a blind date... Hic! I really ought to thank him!”

“Which wealthy second-generation Medo got married in his twenties? Only Joseph was so inept, always thinking of his wife and kids warming up the bed!”

“If you don’t want it, just ignore it,” Jerome said as he sipped the red wine.

“I can’t!”

“The one who went on a blind date with me was the daughter of the wealthiest man in the world, Stefan! What’s her name?”

Young Master Karl tugged at his tie in frustration.

Jerome inhaled deeply, his dark eyes blazing with a fierce black flame.

“I have a great notion of attaining the best for both of us,” he declared.

“Please explain further!” Young Master Karl’s eyes lit up.

Jerome drained the red wine in his glass, his cold and handsome face illuminated by light and shadow, giving him a strangely evil look.

“You head to the yacht party. I’ll go to the blind date.”
