Chapter 222
A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased by Her EX-Husband
Chapter 222 Skyler had obtained an imitation Alexa Jewelry necklace from Zoey, and it had a miraculous effect!
Bracing herself and filled with apprehension, she had privately given it to Ada Wang, fearing that she would die on the spot if discovered.
Even if she was discovered, she had already thought of a way out; and if she was deceived by an acquaintance, she still had some knowledge of the jewelry to cover it up, so it was fine, In the end, it was unclear whether it was due to Alexaâs discipleâs exceptional craftsmanship, but Ada Wang was completely unaware that the necklace was fake. She was so pleased with it that she immediately put it on and refused to take it off!
Finally, Ada Wang and Skyler put their signatures on the contract.
With Aubreeâs tireless assistance, Skyler was able to break into the core and was subsequently promoted by Jake to a director, thus allowing her to attend the Groupâs upper management meetings!
That night, Aubree and his mother sat on the balcony, toasting with the celebratory wine in anticipation.
âDaughter, once Ada Wangâs wedding is done, your father will officially give you the hotel. You should take the first step forward confidently. Youâll surely make it to the board of directors and kick that scoundrel Joseph out with Mom!â
âMy child, I canât rely on your sister.â Aubree said, embracing her daughter, her eyes glimmering with a growing optimism, âIâm relying on you for the rest of my life.â
âMom, donât fret! When I succeed, I will slowly but surely take away Josephâs influence. Then, the entire Sawle Group will be ours!â
Skylerâs eyes sparkled extravagantly as she and Aubree clinked glasses at the heart.
The housekeeperâs voice called out from outside the door, inquiring if anyone was inside.
âMaâam, Third Miss, someone has just arrived to deliver you a letter.â
The two women glanced at each other and exited the balcony.
âWho sent it?â Skyler queried.
âHeâs the General Manager Secretary of KS WORLD Hotel; his last name is Stewart.
KS? Chloe sent it over?!
âGotcha. You go ahead and get to it.â Aubree accepted the offer and shut the door. Opening the letter, she discovered two invitations to the charity jewelry auction. Aubree pursed her bright red lips, her expression a little glum and inscrutable.
âMom, that girl Chloe has been quiet for so long, but she suddenly posted something out of the blue tonight... Is something wrong?â Skyler asked worriedly.
âWhatâs got you so worried? Now that Ada Wang has inked the deal with you, itâs a done deal. Even if Chloe wants to meddle, she canât do a thing!â
Coincidentally, at that very moment, the TV was airing the evening news, with one of the headlines being about the charity jewelry auction!
âMom! The host of this event is actually âMINTâ!â.
Skyler gestured towards the TV and exclaimed, âThis is an internationally renowned fashion/magazine. Celebrities are vying for the title of this magazine! Chloe is the organizer of the MINT event. Donât you think sheâs being a bit too daring?!â
present at the event!â
âThe report also stated that Ada Wang and numerous other celebrity wher Originally, she thought that after losing Ada Wang, KS WORLDâs popularity and topic had plummeted to the depths. She never-
anticipated that Chloe would actually win âMINTâ â she truly remarkable!
Clenching her fists in envy, jealousy, and hatred, Skyler sharp pierced her palm.
nails almo âHmph, no matter how grand it is, itâs futile. A defeat is a defeat. Sheâs only doing this to preserve her pride!â
Aubree rubbed her back teeth and said, âSince she sent us an invitation, wouldnât it be really impolite if we donât go? If we do then letâs go.
.How can I, Aubree, be afraid of a little girl like her go, âIt appears that we have our sights set on her. Letâs not let her do anything else to Ada Wang and spoil our good intentions!â
Chloe had a pleasant conversation with the editor of the MINT Fashion Magazine over the phone, speaking in English and laughing freely.
She changed into a tight sports suit, ready to go to the backyard and row a single rubber dinghy, when Oscar arrived.
âBig brother!â
Chloe ran downstairs, excitement coursing through her, and leapt into Oscarâs arms.
The tall and stalwart man opened his arms and embraced her tightly. She was dressed so snugly that her curves were perfectly outlined, her protruding areas were accentuated, and her graceful curves were pressed against him. It was an indescribable charm that melted his soul, graceful and sexy.
âItâs already so late, Oscar,â she said, her brow furrowing. âAre you going to work out?â
âYes, big brother,â Chloe said, tilting her head back and raising her little face with a smile, âIâm in a good mood and Iâm heading to the backyard to row a rubber boat!â
âWhat are you going to do when itâs so dark? What if you fall into the river? You donât have very good swimming abilities.â
âAlso, donât you realize that itâs almost freezing out there? Youâre not wearing much, what if you get sick?â
He turned to look at Jordan, âItâs just you and the Young Mistress here usually. Why donât you keep an eye on her?â
âMy sincerest apologies, President Thorp,â Jordan said, bowing hastily. âI have not fulfilled my obligation.â
âOkay, big brother. Donât hold Jordan responsible. He reminded me, but he couldnât make me do it.â
The siblings sat down on the sofa hand in hand. Chloe nestled her little head on her big brotherâs shoulder. âBig bro, the editor of MINT just phoned me to sort out the timetable. Thanks, big bro, for hooking me up with such a top-notch resource!â
âIâm really fond of MINT. Iâve been following this magazine since I was a kid. Itâs been a great source of inspiration for my fashion design!â
Alice, the chief editor of MINTS, was a veritable devil in the fashion industry. A slight frown from her while watching a show was a disaster for any brand, highlighting her immense importance in the industry.
But such a big shot had personally phoned Chloe!
Only God knew that, at that moment, the great anticipation had caused the young womanâs palms to become sweaty with excitement!
âChloe, itâs great that youâre fond of it.â
Oscar gazed at her affectionately and caressed her petite nose. âIâm worried that youâll be disheartened due to the incident of Ada Wang being swindled by Sawle Group, and Iâm aware that youâre a laid-back person, so Iâve got something for you to do.â
âWhen youâre occupied, you wonât be distressed.â
âTsk, why am I so delicate? Iâve been eating a lot lately and getting plenty of rest. Iâm not letting it bother me.â Chloe pouted her cherry lips, her voice gentle and pleasant.
Jordan bit his lower lip, suppressing his heartbeat as he fixedly stared at Chloeâs tender pink cheeks.
Only when in Oscarâs presence did the young miss show her coquettish side of a little girl, her cuteness being too much to bear.
Whenever he had the opportunity, he was content.
âYou still claim youâre okay? Those dark circles under your eyes are so pronounced,â Oscar sighed softly, his rough. fingertips tenderly caressing her delicate eyes.
âOh, thatâs not because of this... Oh right, big brother, how do you know Alice? Your bond is really strong. She actually let me do such a big event without any worries?â
Chloeâs beautiful eyes sparkled with surprise, âYou must be aware that the MINTâs charity event has never been hosted by Medo!â
âIâm not acquainted with Alice,â Oscar said coolly.
âAh? Then why...â
âShe had a fondness for me for about a decade.â
Chloe and Jordan was shocked. âWhat?!â
Oscar said nonchalantly, âIâve already turned her down multiple times, yet sheâs still persistent. All I can do is ignore her and let her be.â
Alice, the fashionable female Devil, was nearing her 50th year this year!
Although her big brother was 30 years old, he still acted like an old cow munching on tender grass! Wasnât that exciting?!
âSadly, so sadly...â Chloe sighed.
âIndeed, having a fifty-year-old pursuer is quite stressful,â Jordan nodded in agreement.
âWhat? I mean Alice! Sheâs really pitiful!â
Chloe gazed at the air, her admiration for her idol only growing stronger. âAge was not an issue; the problem is that she chose the wrong person!â
âThe female demon had become enamored with a handsome man, yet he was unaware of her affections. She should have been thankful that big brother had not reverted her to her original form. Nevertheless, she could not help but love him!â
Oscar was rendered speechless.
Jordan was flabbergasted as well.
