Chapter 166
A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased by Her EX-Husband
Chapter 166 The moon was cold and the stars were nowhere to be seen.
The Maybach stopped in front of Mazeland Manor. Joseph got out of the car alone and ordered the driver, âSend Secretary Johnson back. I can go in by myself. Thereâs no need to follow me.â
âBut Mr. Sawle, when I first came back, there were a few big thunders in the sky. Itâs going to rain.â
âWe have to walk quite a distance from the gate to the villa. Let me send you in.â Max couldnât help but worry.
âNo need.â
âMy chest is a little stuffy. I want to walk alone. You can go back.â Joseph said with a cold expression.
âYes... Mr. Sawle.â
Max was like a loyal dog, lying on the window of the car, staring at Joseph all the time until the car completely disappeared in the night.
Joseph took a deep breath, turned around and walked into the manor.
As a result, before he took two steps, a great thunder fell from the sky.
It rained.
By the time Joseph entered the villa, he had already been drenched from head to toe.
It was late autumn. The wind and rain hit him hard and scraped his face. It was cold and hard, but the depression in his heart was particularly clear.
âMy God! Young Master! How, how did you get drenched like this Where is the driver? Where is Secretary Johnson?â Aunt Gill ran over in panic to greet him.
His face was pale and his wet black bangs covered his peach blossom eyes. His thin lips trembled slightly and his arms hanging by his side were still dripping with water.
It was as if he was a handsome sea god who had come ashore from the vast sea and transformed into a human.
âAunt Gill...â
âDo you have wine? Lwant to drink a little.â
âYouâre already drenched like this, yet you still want to drink? Are you crazy? Iâm going to cook some ginger soup for you now. Hurry up and go upstairs to change your clothes and take a hot bath. Go quickly!â
Aunt Gill was heartbroken. She turned around to prepare, but Joseph grabbed her.
âI just want to drink. Let me drink.â
âYoung Master, whatâs wrong with you?â Aunt Gill vaguely felt that something was wrong with him.
âI met Chloe tonight,â Joseph said with red eyes.
âYoung Madam! You met Young Madam!â
Aunt Gill was originally quite happy, but his next sentence made her frown. âThere is someone beside her.â
âWho?â
âShe has a boyfriend.â A few short words came out of Josephâs mouth, hoarse and fragmented.
âSo fast. Sigh... But itâs normal. Young Madam is so outstanding. She is beautiful and has a good background. Even if she divorced, there is still a market for her. She doesnât have to worry about getting married again.â
Marry again?
Josephâs eyes were red as if they were about to bleed, and his heart was beating heavily, as if he was counting down.
âSo, what youâre doing tonight, is it because Young Madam has a boyfriend?â Aunt Gill looked at him seriously.
âI donât know...â The man shook his head in a daze.
âSir, if youâre feeling upset because Madame originally gave her love to someone else, I advise you to quickly adjust your mindset and let go of any unease. It would be better for both you and Madame.â
âBut if you genuinely desire Madame as a person, even though youâre separated now, it might not be too late for everything.
However, I still hope that you can... come to terms with your own feelings and win Madame back.â
âYoung Master, even if it is in the end, it will still be in vain. At the very least, you will not regret it after doing it. Aunt Gill placed her warm hands on Josephâs wet shoulders, her gaze like a torch.
âMoreover, Young Madam was worth it.â
Come to terms with his own feelings?
Joseph kept shaking his head, denying something in his heart.
But every time he denied it, his heart would hurt a little.
Originally, after graduating from the Royal Academy of Music, Zoey was chosen to join the Royal Symphony Orchestra. But in the end, she gave up the quota and chose to return to Medo.
Medo was the economic center not the cultural center. There was the smell of money everywhere. The artistic atmosphere was far less dense than Puplen. It was not wise to come back.
However, she herself was calculating something that even Vincent did not know.
She learned from her big brother that Joseph and Grace had already irrevocably broken up, and it was the kind of break-up that could not be undone.
That was why her heart had risen from the ashes, and she hurriedly returned to Medo, preparing to carry out her great plan of securing a man!
Today, she had nothing to do, so Zoey invited Skyler to her home as a guest.
Second Miss was pampered, proud and arrogant, and proud of her beauty, so she basically looked down on all these Miss Brown in Medoâs circle.
But she was very close to Skyler alone, and there was only one reason â because she was Sawle Groupâs precious daughter.
Sawle Group, she felt that only people from such a family were worthy of making friends with her.
âOh, Sister Skyler, you look so beautiful today! And you brought a gift. You are so polite.â/
Zoey came to the door with a bright smile on her face, and the two held hands, seemingly a close friend.
âZoey! I miss you so much! Youâre even more beautiful than the last time I saw you!â
Skyler was full of praise, but she also had her own plans in her heart.
Vincent was famous for spoiling his sister like his life. If she could build a good relationship with this girl, then wouldnât she have a reason to frequently visit Anderson family?
She could indirectly save the country, seize the opportunity to gain Madam Andersonâs favor, and then let Zoey blow the wind for Vincent, saying beautiful words. Then, wouldnât it be just a matter of time before she became Anderson familyâs eldest young master and grandmother?
Hahaha! She was really smart!
âTwo days ago, I went to Europe to play and bought some hand gifts. Some for you and some for Madam Anderson. They are not very valuable things. Donât dislike them.â
Zoey looked at the mountain of luxury boxes and smiled meaningfully. âAre there any gifts for my big brother?â
âYes, yes, yes... Itâs just that people are afraid that your big brother doesnât like them and refuse...â Skyler blushed and lowered her head shyly.
âYo yo yo, look âWhat kind of person would you like my big brother to be blushing like a peach just by mentioning it!â
âLeave it to me. As long as I give it to big brother, big brother will definitely accept it.â Zoey smiled.
âThen I really have to thank you, Zoey! I love you ââ Skyler was overjoyed and quickly took out the gift she gave Vincent.
Zoey took the delicate box and opened it. It was made of platinum. The two ends were inlaid with sapphires. It was obvious that the price was expensive.
At this time, Vincent just came down from the European court style retrorotating stairs. He was wearing an SL purple high-set suit with a rose dark silk shirt inside. He was as handsome as ever.
Skyler looked up at the male god in her eyes in a daze. Her mouth was open with shame, almost drooling.
âBig brother â!â Zoey called him.
Vincentâs eyes were filled with adoration when he saw his younger sister smile, but when he saw Skyler, his phoenix eyes instantly turned cold and dark.
âThird Miss Sawle, why are you here?â
âI...L..â Skyler swallowed hard, instantly terrified.
âBig brother, I invited big sister Skyler to our house as a guest.â
âI have always had a good relationship with big sister Skyler. Donât you know? She is my best friend in Medo.â
âReally? I really donât know.â
Vincent narrowed his long and narrow eyes and said softly, âZocy, big brother does not object to you making friends, but when you choose a friend, you must wipe your eyes.â
âSome friends are both good teachers and good friends; they can be a guiding light on your journey through life. But some friends are not in a positive frame of mind; they can only lead you astray.â
Zoey glanced at Skyler quietly. At this moment, Third Miss Sawle was so embarrassed that her face turned red.
âI know, big brother. I am twenty-two years old. Canât I distinguish good people and bad people?â
âBig brother knows you havenât been in Medo for a while. You donât have many pals. If youâre keen to make some friends, big brother can take you to meet Thorp familyâs eldest daughter, Chloe. You met her the other night â sheâs a real looker.â
âIt just so happens that she is an old acquaintance of your mentor, Christian. You must have a lot to talk about. You will definitely become friends soon.â
That beautiful woman? Friends?
Zoey sneered in her heart. What a joke. How could he become friends with a love rival?
Vincent walked to his sister and gently pinched her little face. Just as he was about to leave, Zoey took the opportunity to put the gift in his hand.
âBig brother, this is the gift that big sister Skyler picked for you from France far away. You have to take good care of my kind intentions.â Zoey blinked her innocent big eyes at him.
Vincent held the box and did not say anything. He walked away with his long legs.
âLook, what did I say? As long as it is from me, big brother will definitely accept it.â Zoey proudly placed her hands on her hips.
Skyler was so excited that tears were about to flow out of her eyes. She looked at Zoey emotionally.
Vincent walked out the door with a calm and handsome face.
He looked coldly at the exquisite box in his hand. He did not even have the desire to open it and wanted to throw it far away. At this time, he thought of his sisterâs words. Seeing the secretary standing beside the car, he licked his upper jaw and threw the box to her.
The secretary hurriedly caught it and asked blankly, âMr. Anderson, this is...â
âA gift for you.â
âBut Mr. Anderson, this is a manâs acupuncture. I donât even have a boyfriend, so I canât use it.â
âTsk, you donât have a boyfriend yet? You donât even have a daddy? Or you can sell it!â Vincent glared at her in annoyance.
