Chapter 33

Chapter 33 The photo was found on the court’s official website, and it was a photo from three years ago.

In the picture, Riley was wearing a robe, standing in the court and debating passionately.

Joseph’s software had a great function to detect clear faces, anyone wanting to search only needed to scan the photo. Within three to five minutes, they could find relevant information from the photos database uploaded worldwide, which was far more accurate than searching on a search engine.

However, searching for Riley took a whole ten minutes. It could be seen that this person was not a person who often appeared in public, and he had almost no habit of taking photos in private, let alone on social accounts.

He was only a prosecutor, so why was he so mysterious?

“Oscar Thorp... Riley Thorp...”

Joseph thought for a moment and suddenly felt enlightened. He widened his eyes. “Could it be that he is another young master?”

Good, good.

The man narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression dark and gloomy, as if a mountain was about to rain, and his throat was so tight that it was difficult for him to breathe.

‘Raya, you sway left and right, you don’t refuse anyone who comes, you left me and quickly get close to Oscar, and you are now entangled with another young master of Thorp family!‘

‘Who do you think you are? A female–fuck–all?‘

At this time, the roar of the sports car came from behind.

Joseph snapped out of his thoughts and looked out the window.

The black sports car sped past his eyes like a whirlwind in the dark night.

It was Raya’s car!

Why did she suddenly appear here? This matter was definitely not so simple!

Joseph’s heart seemed to burn as he punched the car window.

“Max! Catch up!”

The hotel’s entrance was already blocked by the media, and the search and investigation officers had to put in a lot of effort to take Miller, who was covered in dirt, into the car.

The press conference ended like a farce.

Riley did not follow the car. Instead, he went to the back door and patiently waited for his sister to appear.

A few minutes later, the sound of night arrived as promised and stopped in front of Riley.

Jordan rolled down the window and greeted politely and respectfully, “Hello, Second Young Master.”

“Okay, Jordan!”

Riley bent down and looked at Chloe, who was sitting lazily on the passenger seat. With a doting smile, he reached out and pinched his sister’s soft cheeks.

“It seems that Jordan has taken good care of you these days. Your face has become a bit chubby.”

“Of course not!” Chloe pouted angrily.

“It’s obviously there. It’s chubby and even cuter!”

Second Brother said that she was fat when they met. This indicated that his EQ was really low. No wonder he was single for thirty years!

And this flirtatious scene happened to be seen by Joseph, who was hidden in the dark.

His handsome face was so dark that it was about to drip ink, and his fists were clenched to the point of dripping blood.

Max stared at the rearview mirror, trembling like a quail.

But in his heart, he silently thought, ‘Young Madam is so outstanding, so beautiful, it is normal to be pursued by men.’

Only their boss had a screw loose and looked up at the sky with his butt – he had a face but no eyes.

“How is it? Is your brother pretty today?” Riley raised his eyebrows and looked at his sister proudly.

“Pretty boy, pretty boy, you got a lot of fans this time. A lot of girls on the Internet are looking for your information. You’ve been searched.”

Chloe crossed her arms and leaned against the window of the car, looking up at Riley, her whole body exuding the lively aura of a young girl.

Joseph looked at his ex–wife without blinking, and his heart moved.

For some reason, he really wanted to stand in Riley’s position at this moment, and wanted to look at her like that.

He wanted to see her eyes and eyes at this moment, after all, she had never smiled at him like that.

“Tch, what’s the point of being worshipped by the whole world? I only hope that my precious little sister admires me. That’s enough.” Riley’s eyes were filled with disdain.

“Aiyo, how corny. Second brother, you really aren’t suited to be affectionate. Or is it better for you to be a dumbass? Haha!”

The brother and sister joked and returned to the main point.

“But second brother, I’ll have to trouble you with the follow–up.”

“Don’t let go of that grandson who splashed dirty water on our Thorp Group.” Chloe pressed her eyebrows together.

“Don’t worry, I’ll punish him for several crimes. At least three years! I can’t give him a chance to reduce his sentence, and I can’t let anyone save him!”

Riley showed praise for her, “But all of this is thanks to you, little sister. You’re right. The man surnamed Brown stepped into the pit you dug. He really cooperated.”

“If only all the bad guys play according to the routine, then our legal personnel would have a load off their daily tasks?”

Indeed, that Miller was really stupid to the point that it made people’s heart ache.

The reason KS was able to successfully sue Miller was because Michal was willing to testify and reveal Miller’s activities in the hotel over the past two years.

Just last night, Chloe secretly found Michal who was drunk in the small wine restaurant and told him that tomorrow at the press conference, Miller would definitely sell him for self–preservation.

“Impossible! You... Don’t try to use me in this way. Let me be the witness.

I am not that stupid!”

“If you are still so stubborn, then you are really stupid.”

Therefore, last night, Chloe and Michal had a deal.

“To be honest, I have evidence of your secret deal with Miller. I have not mentioned handing it to the prosecution until now. I want to give you one last chance for the sake of you being an old employee under my father.”

Michal thought back to the road he had walked in the past twenty years. From the head of a small banquet hall, he climbed to the position of deputy manager step by step. All of this, except for his own efforts, could not be separated from Director Thorp’s high regard and support.

But later on, he lost himself when he had power, and finally fell into this state of self–restraint. He felt both regret and guilt in his heart.

“If Miller did not provide you at the press conference tomorrow, then I will personally hand over this material to the prosecutors, and everything will be handled in a proper manner.”

“If he follows what I said and seeks survival with a broken tail, then you will personally report all his crimes to the prosecutors. If you know your mistakes and can change them, I will definitely hire a first–rate lawyer to defend you and minimize your punishment.”

“Which is more important, you choose it yourself.”

Chloe threatened and tempted, successfully allowing Michal to personally deliver the evidence and turn it into a witness. The heavy blow made it so that Brown Group had no chance of turning over.

Because she remembered the words that Stefan had often said – “When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.”

“Even if you have the upper hand, do not force people too much, otherwise it will backfire.”

Riley went back to the prosecutor’s office to continue the case, and Chloe also had to go back to the hotel to work.

Halfway there, Jordan keenly discovered the Maybach following them from the rearview mirror.

“Young miss, we’re being followed! Should we call the police?”

Chloe looked at the rearview mirror with a pale expression and could not help but tremble.

It was Joseph’s car.

It could be seen that he was also at the press conference just now, just hiding in the dark and not showing up.

It seemed that the man was still very concerned about his fiancee’s family.

Hehe.

“I won’t go back to the hotel. Let’s go to Half–moon River for a ride.” Chloe sneered.

“But the people following us...” Jordan was still worried.

“Don’t be afraid, I will protect you.” Chloe’s red lips opened, calm and domineering.

Jordan’s eyes widened and he broke out in a cold sweat.

The black sports car tossed and turned several times, and Max followed closely with his full attention. He swore that even when he took the college entrance examination, Sawle Group was not so nervous.

Joseph stared at Raya’s car, full of curiosity. Who was the man driving her?

His driving skills were obviously not as good as hers, or else they would have been lost long ago.

He vaguely saw Raya’s black hair fluttering in the wind, like black ink on a snow–white piece of paper.

Joseph’s eyes, which were originally as cold as ice, silently melted a little, and became a little soft and gentle.

That dazzling black color unconsciously swallowed the innocence in his eyes.

How could she be so reckless, frivolous, and indulgent and happy?

It was like the fierce setting sun in front of him, deeply rubbing into his eyes, suffused with a tide of delicate pain.

In the end, Bugatti stopped by Half–moon River’s side.

Chloe got out of the car and stood by the railing with her long legs, squinting her eyes, enjoying the evening breeze.

The man got out of the car with his long legs, his hands elegantly tied the middle buttons of his suit, and his strong body was cast into a dazzling golden color.

He looked at Raya who was waiting in the wind. The woman in his eyes was wearing a gorgeous and dignified red dress. Her almond eyes were bright, and her lips were as red as fire. She was so beautiful that she looked like a painting hanging in the golden palace of Versailles. Joseph pursed his thin lips and uncontrollably approached her.

However, when he was only one step away from her, she suddenly took a step back to maintain social distance.

“Mr. Sawle, you followed me all the way from the press conference. Which arm of mine do you want to break this time?” Chloe’s teeth were bright, and her smile was also beautiful.

“Raya.” Joseph called her name with a cold face, and anger surged in his heart.

His gaze inadvertently fell on her snow–white left arm.

It seemed that she had recovered.

“Did Mr. Sawle bring your household register today? Don’t tell me that you come for nothing. Let’s just divorce.”

“It’s fine even if they get off work today. I can find Oscar and ask the Civil Affairs Bureau to give a green light to special people like us.” The smile in Chloe’s eyes became even more playful.

The word “divorce” had become a constant mockery of him.

“Raya, you are very proud of yourself.” Joseph’s eyes darkened and he took a step closer to her.

“What?” She frowned slightly between her eyebrows.

“Interacting with the two brothers of Thorp family, using them to suppress Brown Group until it can’t make a comeback. Raya, I really underestimated your means!”
