Chapter 78

Chapter 78 The air was dead silent.

Seeing that the two of them were about to fight again, Max really wanted to rush up and block the boss‘ stinky mouth!

Chloe laughed in a panic. Her misty almond eyes were broken and gorgeous. “Joseph, I admit that it was me who overestimated my own abilities and pulled the bow inch by inch. It was my one–sided love that stuck to you. I treated you recklessly again and again, thinking that I could make you fall in love with me. In the end, I got nothing but myself.”

“But there is one thing that you said wrong. That is, even if you forced me to leave you, I never resented you. I want to get along well with you. It was you who came over to me again and again and personally tore apart the last bit of dignity between you and me.”

“Therefore, I can only do whatever it takes to expel you, an intruder who has disturbed my new life. Joseph, you once married me because you had no other choice. Now that I have treated you like this, I have no other choice. The only way to make us both happy is to make us become strangers from now on.”

Joseph felt as if his chest had been hit by a heavy hammer, and his heartbeat seemed to have been pressed to pause.

“Secretary Johnson, the night is heavy, quickly take Mr. Sawle back.” Chloe suppressed the pain that arose from the bottom of her heart and quickly turned around again.

A person who could not even see her love and sacrifice was not worth her heartbreak.

Suddenly, Chloe felt a sharp pain in her wrist. She suddenly turned around and was shocked to see Joseph’s red eyes.

“Joseph, let go.” She struggled to free her arm.

Joseph’s thin lips opened slightly. Just as he was about to say something, a cold voice pierced over.

“Mr. Sawle, you are a person of status. Holding our Thorp family’s future daughter–in–law in front of our Thorp family’s door in the middle of the night and not letting go, isn’t that a bit too disrespectful?”

Seeing that Helena and Freya were rushing over in a swift and decisive 11:00 manner, Chloe frantically shook off Joseph and retreated back to their side step by step.

“Future... daughter–in–law?” Joseph was stunned.

“What does Oscar mean by bringing Raya back to our family banquet tonight? I don’t think I need to say more. This is to officially bring Raya to let us know each other.”

As she spoke, Helena affectionately hugged Chloe’s shoulder. “Raya has an outstanding appearance, a noble character, and is in love with Oscar. Our family, including Director Thorp, is very satisfied with this daughter–in–law. We even want to find a time to meet Raya’s parents and settle the date.”

Chloe was stunned when she heard this.

She knew that Helena and Freya came to support her, but this was... too much drama!

Joseph felt as if a piece of his chest had been dug out, and a cold wind whistled through the air.

“Mr. Sawle, if I remember correctly, you seem to have announced your marriage through the media.”

“You are going to get married. You don’t have time to stay at home with. your girlfriend. Why did you come here to disturb our Raya?” Freya said with a smile.

“A girl’s reputation is the most important thing. We won’t stop you if you don’t want to be shameless, but don’t drag Raya down.

She is half of our Thorp family’s people now. If you don’t behave yourself, don’t blame us for being merciless!”

Chloe knew that Freya was a person who would never speak nonsense. At this moment, Freya was still standing here to talk to Joseph, so Helena and Sia must have done a lot of psychological preparation for her.

Max facepalmed, “Oh my god, Mr. Sawle, why did you come all the way here? Aren’t you looking for trouble?”

Joseph’s hand, which had just touched Chloe, slowly clenched into a fist and trembled secretly.

He tried very hard to hold something, but it seemed that he could not hold anything. He did not know what he was doing. The person who had clearly cut off this marriage was himself.

“Second Madam, Fourth Madam, the wind is cold at night. You are 11:00 wearing little and should catch a cold. Let’s go home.”

The strong sense of belonging turned into an invisible and cold wall, completely isolating him from the outside world.

“Raya, is what they said true?” Joseph’s voice was hoarse and obscure.

“Yes,” Chloe took a deep breath and simply played along.

“Good, good...”

Joseph’s handsome face was pale as he repeatedly said “good“. Then, he took out the black velvet jewelry box from his bosom and slowly handed it to her.

“This, just take it as my wedding gift to you.”

Chloe’s beautiful eyes were shocked, but she did not take it.

She didn’t expect that he would actually carry it with him...

“I’m afraid that Raya would be embarrassed if she accepts it. I will do the things that she is embarrassed to do for her.”

Without waiting for Chloe to respond, Freya grabbed the box.

When she opened it, what entered her eyes was a colorful and beautiful jade bracelet.

Brilliant jade, tranquil and beautiful.

Chloe could see that this was a good thing, not something that could be bought casually in this world. In the past, if she could receive Joseph’s gift, she would wake up in her dreams and scream on the spot.

But now, all her joy was buried under the cold ice.

The late love was cheaper than grass, and the late gift was even more worthless.

“Ah, although I don’t know how to appreciate jewelry, but this jade bracelet is quite bright. It must be expensive. Mr. Sawle is considerate...”

Suddenly, Freya’s eyes were fierce, and she suddenly raised her arm, only to hear a crisp “pa” sound –

!

The purple jade was broken into pieces between Chloe and Joseph! When the man saw his heart being ruined, his pupils shrank to the extreme, and his pale face darkened.

Chloe was so shocked that her fingers secretly curled up, and she didn’t- dare to look at Joseph’s face for a moment.

11:00 “Fourth Madam! What do you mean by this? This is Mr. Sawle’s heart! Even if you don’t accept it, you shouldn’t ruin it like this!”

Max took a step forward and was so angry that his neck was red.

“Mr. Sawle, why didn’t you give your heart to her before Raya divorced you? Now that you’re divorced, why did you come here to curry favor with her? Are you so bored that you have nothing to do? Or did you see that Raya has a new lover and is so angry that you came to humiliate us in this way? Are you not going to let her have a good time?”

Freya stepped on the broken jade with her sharp and thin legs and crushed it. “This gift, you just take it as Raya accepted it. If you know what’s good for you, quickly go back to your Medo. We, Sea Gate, do not welcome you!”

Every word, ten thousand arrows pierced through the heart!

Joseph’s Adam’s apple rolled with difficulty, and he looked at Chloe for the last time with his broken eyes.

Chloe’s heart trembled. She avoided his gaze and went forward to pull Freya.

“Let’s go home.”

“Young Madam... you...” Seeing that she had no intention of arguing for Mr. Sawle, Max was extremely disappointed.

Even he was like this, let alone Joseph!

“Go home. Don’t ruin our mood for the gathering because of unrelated people and things.” Freya held Chloe’s arm and left.

Helena glanced at the pale–faced Joseph and shook her head.

When Chloe returned home, she took off all her cold and heartless disguise and felt exhausted as if she had been hollowed out from inside out.

She thought of the broken bracelet and the look in Joseph’s eyes, which were broken together with the jade. She felt bitter in her heart.

She knew that Helena and Freya were trying to help her vent her anger, but... it was too much.

This time and again, it was really like she had raped that man.

“Little sister!”

At this time, Riley hurriedly ran to her and gasped, “Fourth is fighting with our father again! Dad also beat Fourth!”
