Chapter 5

Chapter 5 As a result, these higher–ups had nowhere to hide their ugly faces when they were gossiping about their female boss.

“Preposterous! Our young miss is the only daughter of the first wife of Thorp family! Their brains are filled with pig intestines!”

The president’s secretary, Jordan Stewart, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was so angry that his cheeks were red.

“Aiya, I don’t even care. Why are you angry?”

Chloe narrowed her eyes, and her delicate hand reached out to pinch Jordan’s cheeks. This time, the little puppy’s face was red like a peach. “Chloe, you are the future president of KS. Can you be a little like a person in power? Don’t touch Jordan.” Oscar frowned slightly. “What’s wrong? Only a male superior can tease a female secretary, and I as a female manager can’t lay a hand on the male secretary’s face?” Chloe tsked. “I touched him, but he earned a lot from my touch!”

Oscar shook his head. There was only a doting and gentle smile on his handsome face.

The higher–ups crowded the Thorp siblings into the hotel.

Vice President Geo had been leading them to the VIP elevator, but Chloe casually said, “I want to go to the restaurant to take a look first.”

As soon as they entered the door, they didn’t say a word of courtesy, but she directly talked business!

Vice President Geo led Mr. Thorp and the others to the buffet hall in trepidation.

Oscar remained “cool as a cucumber” like an “invisible man” with a powerful aura, only permitting his sister to have fun without restraint. At this moment, it was not lunchtime yet, so there were no guests in the restaurant, but the waiters had already started serving the dishes one after another.

Chloe’s sharp gaze swept across the dishes and suddenly stopped in the seafood area.

A Billion–Rich Woman Was Chased by Her Ex–Husband She rolled up her sleeves and reached into the glass box, accurately picking out a dead shrimp from the hundreds of shrimps.

“Explain.”

“This, this isn’t dead...” Vice President Geo stuttered.

“Not dead? Then I’ll treat you to this shrimp?” Chloe curled her red lips.

“Mr, Mr. Thorp, as you can see, there are a lot of shrimp. It’s normal for one to suffocate to death...”

“It’s normal? Shouldn’t that be considered abnormal? What if the guest eats a death shrimp and gets poisoned?”

Chloe’s face sank. “Also, there are a total of three hundred and fifty shrimp in this glass box. I took a rough look and saw that there were five dead shrimp, and there were no less than thirty half–dead ones.”

“I can’t imagine how the guests feel when they pay three hundred dollars for this kind of food, but if I were a guest here, I’m certain I would never come back!”

“All the ingredients in the seafood section will be handled straight away and replaced with fresh suppliers. If I spot a single dead shrimp, you’ll be having a dead shrimp lunch tomorrow.”

Vice President Geo was so scared that his legs went soft, and the higher–ups were even more shocked.

Only Oscar and Jordan knew that their big sister had a super memory. She could see ten things at a glance. When she was a child, she also helped the police solve a major criminal case with this pair of sharp eyes. It was just a few shrimps sprinkled with water. How could she not spot any abnormalities?

When they arrived at the guest room, Chloe directly wiped the snow–white handkerchief on the wall and picture frame.

“The cleaning is not in place. There is floating ash. Do it again.”

The higher–ups complained in their hearts.

“You must be secretly cursing me. You think I’m making a big fuss over nothing and nitpicking?”

Chloe appeared composed, yet her voice was notably grave.

“Nevertheless, the century–old hotel may be undone by the minutiae that could be overlooked. These two matters will be sufficient to strip us of our stars when it comes to the Star Evaluation!”

A Billion–Rich Woman Was Chased by Her Ex–Husband She winked at Jordan. Jordan understood and ordered in a deep voice, “Open this guest door.”

The manager of the guest room hurriedly came to open the door, trembling. When the previous leaders came, they would clean up two different rooms for them to see, putting on an act.

But this President Thorp was very strange, completely not following the routine!

Chloe entered the guest room, glancing at the bathroom, before taking a seat on the bed.

In an instant, her beautiful face was covered with frost.

But in the end, she did not say anything. She just ended the inspection and came to the general manager’s office with her eldest brother. “How do you feel after a round of inspection?” Oscar asked with a smile. “Gosh, trying to cover up dirt and accumulating more dirt, it’s a real mess!”

Chloe slumped onto the sofa, propping her forehead up with her elbow on the armrest and letting out a sigh. “Is Stefan trying to test me or just messing around? This hotel’s really run–down. Is this really our Thorp family’s place?”

“Chloe, this hotel was established by my grandfather. Our Thorp Group also relied on the hotel industry to grow gradually and put in a lot of effort to manage it. That’s how we got the KS consortium we have today.”

“This hotel is not a shambles, but a place that holds the sentiments of three generations of the Thorp Group. However, due to the Thorp family now having too many businesses, and the hotel industry having been in a slump for the past two years, we brothers all have our own occupations, so... we have neglected its management.”

“Little sister, please take care of it.” Oscar sighed helplessly.

It was only then that Chloe noticed the completely black piano at the corner.

She held her breath.

“I ordered someone to place this piano there. I remember that when you were in a bad mood, you would play the piano or run a few laps around the racetrack.”

“I reckon you’ll be pretty occupied over the next couple of months. It’s not feasible to go running around the racetrack. If you’re feeling fatigued, 10.10 |

A Billion–Rich Woman Was Chased by Her Ex–Husband why not play a few tunes? Your piano playing is really impressive. I recall...” Oscar blinked his eyes.

“Thank you, big brother. But I haven’t played the piano for a long time.” Chloe’s throat was tight, and the wound that had healed with great difficulty in the depths of her heart suddenly reopened. The blood that flowed out from her wound to her cold heart was still burning hot. “What’s wrong?” Oscar was shocked.

“When I was a national doctor, I sustained an injury on the battlefield. My fingers and ligaments were not only broken, but also crippled, so much so that I can’t even make a loud sound when I play. I might as well not play anymore.”

Chloe tried her best to describe this matter in the calmest tone possible. Oscar felt a sharp pain in his heart as he hurriedly held up his younger sister’s fair and small hands.

“Did you get hurt because of... Joseph?”

“Yes, but no.”

When Chloe heard this name, her heart was still in extreme pain, but she still revealed a bright smile. “I was injured for the sake of world peace. Isn’t it great to bring glory to my ancestors?”

Five years ago, she and Joseph, whom she had been longing for, met again on the border of Ugril.

She was a war doctor, and he was a soldier of the peacekeeping forces.

He fought for peace, and she almost lost a hand in order to bring him back to the safe zone with serious injuries.

In the past, she regarded it as glory, but now, every time she saw this numb little finger, she only felt heartache.

However, it was all in the past. Even if she, Chloe, loved the wrong person, she would never cry and regret.

Jordan knocked on the door and hurried in.

“Young lady, as you instructed, we found out that the supplier of beds and furniture in our hotel came from Ailey’s Furniture. It was Vice President Geo who was responsible for contacting!”

“Hehe, so it was Ailey.”

Chloe crossed her slender legs and narrowed her clear eyes dangerously, “Instruct the finance department to investigate the hotel’s accounts for the past two years. Additionally, contact a new bedding supplier and replace Alliey without delay!”

“Such a big stir?” Oscar raised his eyebrows.

“Ailey’s Furniture is a property created by the brother of Joseph’s little dream girl.”

“Oh, exacting retribution for a personal grievance in a public proclamation,” Oscar and Jordan said in unison.

1 “Of course not! It’s because Ailey made it up and sold to us, KS WORLD, cheap bed products, so I have to punish them severely!” Chloe snorted.

Furious at the thought of the hard, broken bed cushion, she realized the discomfort it would cause the customer, no wonder there were so many bad reviews online!

“Oh right! There is one more thing...“.

Jordan quickly added, “President Thorp asked me to keep an eye on the Sawle family recently. I just got news that Old Master Sawle was admitted to the hospital due to a stroke – and it turns out to be one of the hospitals under the Thorp Group!”

“Grandpa was hospitalized?” Chloe suddenly stood up, her heart burning with anxiety.

At this moment, Oscar’s phone rang.

He lowered his long eyelashes and looked at the screen, suddenly curling his lips slightly.

“Chloe, he is your ex–husband.”
