A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased by Her EX-Husband
Chapter 119

Chapter 119 

Outside Tong Garden. 

Joseph stood alone, tall and elegant, by the black Ferrari, his back as straight as a pine tree, refined and graceful. While waiting, he narrowed his peach blossom eyes and looked at the handsome plaque. 

For the past few days, he had been relentlessly investigating and gaining an understanding of the Thorp Group. Stefan’s wife Chloe’s mother purchased the only Garden mansion of its kind in the entire country, whose value was immeasurable. 

The reason why it was named “Tong” was because Chloe’s mother was called “Tonks” Lewis. 

That was why she adopted the pseudonym “Raya” to remain close to him. 

Yet, why did they name her Raya? 

She was clearly not diminutive in any way. 

As Joseph’s thoughts drifted, the door creaked and slowly opened a crack. 

Upon hearing the sound, he immediately averted his gaze and tensed his broad shoulders. 

Chloe, shielding the brilliant sun with her palm, stood on the steps, gazing at Joseph. 

The man with the dog didn’t don the three suits welded to his body today; instead, he wore a beige pair of trousers and a light blue jacket. He was neat, radiant, and dignified, looking as handsome as jade and as cool as a breeze. 

Chloe had never seen Joseph dressed like this before. Usually, this man was like a young master from an old sect, hailing from the “Gold and Yellow Powder Family”. He was usually strict and restrained, meticulous in his ways. Today… she couldn’t help but feel that he looked more casual than usual, though she suspected it was all part of a plan. 

He was really good-looking, but unfortunately he was a human model, that acted like a canine. 

Chloe was drawing nearer to him, her haste evident in the home slippers still on her feet. Her light, graceful steps had an indescribable charm, inviting intimacy. 

Joseph lowered his gaze and fixed his eyes on her feet. His heart burned. 

“Why are you staring at my feet? Haven’t you ever seen slippers before?” Chloe’s toes, concealed in the slippers, curled uneasily, not giving him a clear view. 

“You always wear high heels,” Joseph said, narrowing his eyes. “I’ve never seen you in this.” 

“Ha ha, it’s obvious your eyesight isn’t great” 

“For the past three years. I’ve been strolling around in front of you, yet you claimed you’d never seen me before.” 

“I’m aware that I’ve never been visible to you. Now that we’re no longer together, there’s no need for you to ridicule me like this again, correct?” 

Joseph’s heart suddenly stopped and his face grew dark in an instant. 

He remembered, yes. 

Once he returned home, she must be the first to welcome him. 

She ran up to him with cheerful little steps, wearing an apron and holding a small spatula. Her white face was always oily, yet she smiled gently and kindly at him. 

He once derided her, but now it was invaluable. 

“Let’s hop in the car and chat, Joseph said, taking a deep breath before opening the car door.

Before Chloe could finish, the dog man swiftly reached out his long arm, firmly grasping her wrist and pushing her into the 

car. 

His movements were fluid and effective.

“Joseph, do you need to lock the door if you say something?” Chloe tugged at the door handle, but it wouldn’t budge. 

“But when driving, it needs to be locked up. The main reason is that I’m afraid you’ll jump out.” 

As soon as he finished speaking. Chloe’s vision suddenly darkened and her nerves exploded. 

Joseph pressed his body of heat down onto her, his tall nose almost touching the tip of hers, his long eyelashes brushing her eyelids. 

“What are you doing?” Chloe panicked from the depths of her soul and hastily shoved his chest. 

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Joseph firmly grasped her small hand and murmured, “Chloe, stay put.” 

His left arm circled around her waist immediately, slowly pulling the seat belt over to help her fasten it. 

“Where are you taking me?” Chloe gritted her teeth and recoiled, as if a Buddha statue had been touched by something 

unclean. 

“We agreed last night that you would come to my house to retrieve something today. Joseph released her and firmly grasped the steering wheel. 

“I’m definitely going today. You don’t need to do this!” 

“I don’t buy it.” 

Joseph started the engine and looked up at her. “You’re really good at deceiving me. How many times have you lied to me since we got married three years ago? Is there anything you’ve told me that’s actually true?” 

“No?” 

“If you say ‘no’, then that’s it,” Chloe sneered. “It doesn’t make a difference” 

Joseph felt a chill in his chest, as if a bullet had pierced through the barrel. 

He wished fervently that she would never fall in love with him, so that he could feel comfortable with all his actions, 

The Ferrari sped along the highway, and the beautiful scenery swiftly receded. 

Unable to escape, Chloe crossed her arms and adjusted the back of the chair, settling into a comfortable nap. 

It was better not to see. 

Joseph tightened his grip on the steering wheel and said apologetically, “I’m sorry about that.” 

“What is it?” 

Chloe found that this man had been as stubborn as a donkey before marriage, but now he was admitting his mistakes so easily, showing that he had become less stubborn. 

Grace reported him to the Virtuous Man Academy because she felt it was necessary. 

I had no idea Oscar was your brother.” 

“Oh, the uninformed are blameless. I absolve you.” Chloe didn’t mind. 

“But why didn’t you explain?” Joseph gazed intently at her lovely side profile. 

“Would you accept it if I said Oscar and I were not guilty?” 

His Adam’s apple choked.  S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Chloe shook her head. “This world is always so unkind to girls. If I weren’t Oscar’s sister, if I were Raya, you, or thousands of others, they would only see me as a shameless, vain little brat clinging to the wealthy young heir of a wealthy family.” 

“Apart from those I love, I never worry about what others think of me.” 

Joseph’s face paled as he tightly gripped the creaking steering wheel. 

Did this signify that she had ceased to love him and no longer felt any concern for him? 

There was nothing amiss, yet his heart felt so constricted. 

Just like this, the atmosphere was oppressive for a while. Joseph suddenly inquired, “Is your eldest brother called Oscar, your second brother Riley, and your third brother Sami? Is that according to your mother’s surname?” 

“Joseph” 

Chloe suddenly opened her eyes and her face was as icy as ice. “You looked into my family, and you have already crossed my line.” 

Joseph was about to say something, but Chloe beat him to it. “You kept pushing me, and I kept putting up with it because I’m the eldest of the Thorp family. I’ve been given a privileged upbringing since I was young, and I’m someone with poise and self-control. I don’t want to get so angry with you that I turn the world upside down. That would be too shameful.

“But if you don’t mess with my family, I don’t care who you are. I won’t let you go. You got to look out for yourself!” 

The man’s lips were thin and tightly pursed, and his fingertips, neatly trimmed, were poised to puncture the leather steering wheel. “I didn’t look into him any further.” 

“The last time I clashed with him, I had a strong sense of déjà vu. Later, when I browsed through the alumni album of the old military academy, I spotted his picture. It dawned on me that we had been classmates.” 

Chloe, like a small gas bag, turned to look out the window, ignoring him. 

Joseph glanced at her, then picked up his phone, dialed Max’s number, and pressed the hands-free button. 

“Hello, Mr. Sawle. Do you have any instructions for me?” The other side responded promptly. 

“Go and get a pair of high heels for Miss Chloe – one from Christian Louboutin, one from Jimmy Choo, and one from Manolo Blahnik in her size and send them to Mazeland Manor.” 

Chloe gazed in surprise at the man’s serene profile. 

She frequently donned these brands. 

“Yes! I’ll get it for Young Madam right away!” Max’s voice was full of joy. Those who didn’t know would think he had just tied 

the knot. 

Joseph lowered his cold and pale eyelids and gazed at her feet. His eyes grew dark and he uttered, “Size 36. Don’t get the wrong one.”
