A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased by Her EX-Husband
Chapter 120

Chapter 120 

Chloe’s long eyelashes fluttered, causing a layer of goosebumps to appear on her snowy skin. 

“How did you figure out that I wear a size 36 shoe?” 

“It looks very diminutive.” Joseph said, his face still retaining a noble and frosty expression. 

Chloe’s little white feet, encased in slippers, curled up in embarrassment and mockingly sneered, “Men always seem to have a way of acting like a lout with their eyes and hands.” 

Joseph was left speechless. 

He was well aware of himself and thus did not speak truthfully. 

He knew Chloe’s shoe size because he had searched through all her belongings left in Mazeland Manor. 

He knew that she liked to act like a little hamster, having nothing to do at home but store snacks, taking up most of the space. 

He had vaguely smelled the La fille de Belin perfume of Ludwell before, and had thought its spicy and cold taste was not suitable for her. Now it seemed he had been mistaken; this thorny, proud and charming aroma was made for her. 

He was aware that she wore a size 36 shoe, and the two small white shoes were still neatly arranged on the shoe rack, as if she could return at any moment. 

That day, she was disappointed to realize that he had never truly known her. 

Hence, he sought to employ this approach to reconnect with her. 

After two hours of driving, they had scarcely exchanged a word. 

The Ferrari glided into Mazeland Manor and came to a halt at the gate. 

Joseph unbuckled his seat belt, then his tall figure leaned toward Chloe. 

Pa – 

Chloe knew he’d still be untrustworthy. She quickly brought her arm up to shield her body, her eyes icy with rejection. “I don’t need you, I’ll take care of it myself.” 

As a result, there was a click – 

Joseph had already wrapped his arm around her flat belly before she had a chance to prepare, his fingertips pressing open her seatbelt. 

“No need to thank me.” 

Her beautiful eyes widened in surprise as she realized how quickly the person had moved, completely unaware of their presence. 

She had earlier heard from her fourth brother that he needed ten seconds to assemble a pistol in the military academy, but Joseph astounded her by needing only eight seconds, his hand speed being remarkable. 

Deceiving her eyes was not an easy task. 

Joseph and Chloe strode boldly into the Sawle family’s home, and the news of their arrival raced among the servants. 

“Goodness me! Am I tio  Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

too young and sprightly? Did Mr. Sawle return with the young lady?” 

“It really is Young Madam! Goodness me… She’s too gorgeous! How could Mr. Sawle be willing to part ways with such a stunning woman!” 

“What should we call her now? Young Madam or Miss Lewis? It’s quite a conundrum…” 

“Let’s refer to her as Miss Lewis. If we address her as ‘Young Madam, what if that surnamed Brown hears about it? We’ll have to face the repercussions when she ties the knot!” 

“That’s true… The one with the surname Brown is just a sourpuss. She isn’t as pleasant as Miss Lewis.” 

Joseph’s ears picked up the gossip, and his eyes shot a slight resentful glance at Chloe beside him. 

He couldn’t hear it, so there was no reason for Chloe to not hear it; yet, she ignored it, her indifferent expression making him feel even more uncomfortable. 

“Where is my thing? Where could it be?” 

“It still in your room, just like it was before.” 

“You knew I’d be coming for it today, yet you didn’t bother to tidy it up beforehand. Are you that lazy?” Chloe frowned and

Chapter 120 muttered. 

“Those are all things that you hold dear. I wouldn’t dare to meddle with them lightly. Joseph couldn’t help but gaze at her with his dark eyes. 

Perhaps men were born with a frugal nature. 

In the past, when Chloe was compliant to him, he took it for granted. Now, she was like a prickly rose, piercing him with every utterance. 

He wanted to know more about her instead. 

Chloe avoided looking at him. “What should we do now? Should I go and get it, or should you have someone package it and send it to me?” 

The phone rang at an inconvenient time just then. 

Only then did Joseph remember that he had an important call meeting. He said apologetically. “I need to take a call first. I’ll be back shortly.” 

“Do whatever you want.” 

Chloe heaved a long sigh of relief as the man left in a hurry, her tense nerves relaxing. 

Don’t mention her embarrassment as you go. 

. 

In the past, when she was his wife, she tried every possible way to get some time alone with him, yet this fickle man would always leave her with nothing but his back view, 

He drove to Sea Gate himself to pick her up, having prepared high heels for her, and assisted her in fastening her seat belt. His considerate behavior made him appear like a newlywed husband. 

She felt a strange and awkward sensation, as if tiny ants were marching up her ankles and into her calves. 

The gentleness that had passed was like an expired can, with no sweetness left, only a rancid odor. 

Chloe pulled out her phone and rang Jordan, Jordan, I’m in Medo, at Mazeland Manor come and get me right away.” 

“What?!” Jordan exclaimed in shock. “You, why are you there?!” 

“Sigh, kids don’t have their mums. It’s a complicated tale. Come over first.” 

Chloe hung up the phone and went straight upstairs. 

She wanted to pack up her clothes and leave before Jordan arrived, not wanting to stay here for too long. 

She wanted to go and see Annie, who had quit school and was at home, not too far from the room she used to live in. She asked the servants to find out. 

As Chloe approached the door to Annie’s room, she heard Skyler’s shrill and piercing voice, like a scolding from the street. 

“You little minx! What did you get up to with Young Master Anderson at Grandfather’s birthday banquet that day? Spill the 

beans!” 

“There’s nothing, Sister… nothing at all,” Annie said tearfully. 

“Bullshit!” 

Skyler was even more enraged, believing that she was nitpicking. “How could you not take action against him after drinking that stuff! If you didn’t leave the red mark on his neck, where did it come from?! Did a dog do it?!” 

“I have no idea! I honestly can’t recall… Ahl” 

Prang! 

The sound of the vase shattering followed. 

Chloe’s eyes were a blazing scarlet, her fingers clenched tightly, and with a loud bang, she kicked open the door, startling Skyler who was going wild. 

“It’s you?!” 

Skyler reacted instantly when something whizzed past her.) 

With a loud bang, it struck her face! 

“Ah!” 

In the next second, yet another pair of slippers flew and smacked her face! 

Skyler was hit so hard that her nose was red and she saw stars, her head. ridiculous.

Angrily covering her forehead, she pointed at Chloe’s face, unable to find words to express her rage. 

“You keep referring to her as a ‘slut’. Your language is quite inappropriate. Did you remember to wash your mouth out after using the restroom?” Chloe crossed her arms in front of her chest and tilted her head with a dazzling smile. It was also intimidating. 

“Sister-in-law, sister-in-law… Annie shrank back into a corner, trembling. 

When she saw Chloe, her excitement was so great that her lower lip trembled and tears streamed down her face. 

“Chloe! You crazy woman” 

Skyler was so enraged that she ground her teeth. Her face was numb and sore from being struck. The power of these shoes was greater than her hand. “Don’t think you’re so great just because you’re Thorp family’s daughter. I’m Sawle Group’s daughter too, and I’m not any less than you!” 

“You struck me today… I will never release you!” 

“You must follow through on your word. Otherwise, if I wanted to strike you, I wouldn’t hesitate to do so without justification.” 

Chloe didn’t spare Skyler a glance. Her beautiful eyes were full of cold ridicule. “You lack talent, yet you only know how to be domineering in your own domain. You’re really not good at picking on your own sister.” 

“Im aware that you’re Aubree’s daughter. Had I not been informed, I would have assumed that a canine had been your primary caregiver.” 

Skyler’s reflex arc took a few seconds to complete, and when she finally came to her senses, she angrily shouted and lunged towards her. 

“You have the audacity to call me a dog?! I’ll rip you to shreds!” 

Chloe, shaking her head in disgust, looked at Skyler who had revealed her true colors, baring her fangs and claws. 

She really didn’t want to do it herself, as serving such dog meat was out of the question and she was scared of contracting rabies if she touched it. 

Just as Skyler’s claws were about to make contact with Chloe, a strong and authoritative hand with distinct knuckles suddenly seized her wrist. 

-‘Ouch!” Skyler exclaimed as she suddenly felt a sharp pain, causing her to bend over at the waist, 

Chloe was overwhelmed by the strong scent of hormones behind her, and she couldn’t help but turn around in surprise. 

Joseph, too, was looking at her coincidentally. 

Their eyes suddenly locked. 

Chloe wasn’t sure if she had erred, yet she could detect a hint of worry in his lovely peach blossom eyes. 

Don’t think of it baby; you must have been mistaken, no doubt. 

She would rather believe that there are ghosts in this world than accept the existence of this dog man…. 

“Did she hurt you?” Joseph lowered his cold and white eyes to gaze at her, his voice conveying an unprecedented level of 

worry.
