Chapter 176 

Zoey was young and beautiful, and her face turned red. She was very embarrassed. 

“Joseph, do you dislike Zoey using her fork to pick up food? She hasn’t used it yet, so she gave it to you for the first bite.” Vincent frowned and was the first to stand up for his sister. 

“Sorry, second brother, I didn’t consider it properly. I should use public fork.” 

Zoey quickly changed to a pair of fork and picked up a squirrel mandarin fish. She wanted to put it on Joseph’s plate, but he stopped her again. 

“I can do it myself.” 

Zoey pouted. “Hmph, I haven’t come back in years. Second brother, are you estranged from me? We even ate an ice cream when we were young!” 

“When we were young, we were when we were young. But now you are not young anymore.” Joseph lowered his long eyelashes, only taking a small piece of crab powder lion head and putting it into his mouth, slowly chewing. 

Zoey’s heart tightened, her face darkened, gloomily put the fish meat into her mouth, and fiercely bit it. 

Joseph looked at the exquisite and delicious dishes on the table, thinking of the past, Chloe often cooked for him. 

He knew that these dishes were time-consuming and labor-intensive. He also knew that she had been busy in the kitchen the entire afternoon, with the oil fumes and the heat making her small face oily and her having to suppress a cough. 

However, he had never praised her. 

Even if the dishes she cooked were at the level of a national chef, even if he did not want to admit it, every time he ate her dishes, he really wanted to add another bowl of rice. 

He remembered how that little woman would always eagerly await his praise with starry eyes, but when it ended in disappointment, she would look at him with a pitiful expression, and his heart would ache inexplicably. 

But after a short loss, Chloe always cheered up immediately and smiled at him with her beautiful eyes. 

“Next time, I will do better next time!” 

Next time. 

Would there be a next time? 

Thinking of this, Joseph felt that the delicious taste in his mouth was like chewing wax, and swallowing became difficult. 

“Second brother, I heard from Sister Skyler that you have been busy with Ada’s wedding recently. Are you competing with KS WORLD for the ownership of the hotel?” Skyler asked. 

After a while, Zoey spoke again. 

Feeling that Joseph would be interested in business, she held her chin and blinked her big grape-like eyes. She asked seriously, “I heard that Ada is coming to Medo in a few days.” 

“Second brother, are you planning to hold a welcoming banquet? You can use the momentum to promote the hotel. After all, Ada is an international superstar!” 

Joseph’s peach blossom eyes were cold, but his face was calm. 

What he hated the most was talking about business during the family dinner. 

What was even more annoying was that irrelevant people asked about the internal affairs of his group. 

“Yes.” 

“Can I help you with something?” Zoey’s big eyes blinked. 

“No need.” 

“I thought Ada was playing piano with the other guests! This is my specialty!” 

Zoey tried her best to show off in front of Joseph. 

“No need.” 

“You are Anderson Group’s daughter, so it is not appropriate for you to do this. We will hire professionals to perform at the 

scene.” 

Zoey’s face fell instantly. “Does second brother think that I am not professional enough?” 

Joseph suddenly lost his appetite. 

He didn’t want to embarrass Madam Anderson and Vincent, so he came to the banquet, but now he felt annoyed. 

“Joseph, no matter what, Zoey is the last disciple of a top pianist. It is more than enough to go to your welcoming banquet. Let her go.” Vincent chewed his elbow and helped his sister to speak. 

“That’s right, Joseph. Zoey treats you like a real brother. Just let her help you this time.” Madam Anderson also doted on his daughter very much and did not want to disappoint her. 

“Second brother, I will definitely play well and not embarrass you.” Zoey revealed a pitiful expression. 

Joseph frowned and could only nod. 

After dinner, Joseph said goodbye and left. 

As soon as he stepped out of Anderson family’s door, Max received an important message and quickly conveyed it to him. 

“Mr. Sawle, there is a problem. Your plan has collided with KS!” 

Joseph’s heart raced as he asked coldly, “Chloe also prepared a welcome banquet for Ada on the same day?” 

“Mr. Sawle is wise!” 

Max couldn’t help but sweat. He carefully asked, “Young Madam has a character that doesn’t let go of a rabbit without seeing it. Do you think she really didn’t beat up Ada? Why don’t we…” 

“What?” 

“Why don’t you let Young Madam do it this time? Either way, it’s not the final victory. It’s just a welcoming banquet. A good man doesn’t fight with a woman…” 

“No!” 

Joseph’s sword-like eyebrows suddenly tightened, and he said, “Now that Alexa can’t do it, we must start with Ada. If Chloe thinks with us, it means that she is in the same situation as us.” 

“At this time, any small progress can change the situation in an instant. I can’t give this to her. No matter what method we use, we must let Ada go to our welcome banquet!” 

After saying that, the big boss entered the luxury car with a serious expression. 

Max was stunned in place, and his expression gradually became sad. 

Oh my god, everyone said that women were made of water, men were made of mud, and they, Mr. Sawle, were made of reinforced concrete. 

How could such a straight man win back the young madam’s heart! 

At this moment, Joseph, who was sitting in the carriage, leaned back and took a deep breath. 

Should he let Chloe go just as Max had said? 

But from the divorce until now, he had never won against her once. 

She had always been riding on the dust, high and mighty, crushing him in an overwhelming manner, killing him to the point that his skin was all over.  Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He was stunned to find that Chloe was no longer that simple, quiet, gentle, and simple little girl. She was so smart, noble, outstanding, fierce… She seemed to be more and more out of his reach. 

Therefore, he really wanted to win against her once, as if he could close the distance between them. 

Late at night, Vincent had a dinner party and went out to ACE. 

Only the mother and daughter were left at home. Zoey went to her mother’s room and climbed into the bed to act spoiled in Madam Anderson’s arms. 

Thinking of the scene on the table just now, Madam Anderson couldn’t help but say, “Zoey, why did you become so attentive to Joseph tonight? You even made Joseph reserved.” 

“You are no longer the same as when you were young. Joseph is no longer the big brother who used to coax you to play with him. He is now the president of Sawle Group, and his status is very precious. His every move has countless eyes staring at him. I am afraid that it is inappropriate for you to act like a spoiled child to him in the future. I think you should…” 

“Mom.” Zoey suddenly sat up and looked at Madam Anderson seriously. “I am not acting like a spoiled child, and I have never treated Joseph as my brother.” 

“What did you say?” Madam Anderson looked puzzled. 

“Why do you think I pushed away Puplen’s Royal Music Orchestra and gave up my bright future to return to Medo? It’s all for my second brother. I want to marry him and be his wife!” 

“What?” 

“Are you crazy? He’s your brother!” Madam Anderson suddenly sat up and widened her eyes in shock. 

“But not biological!” 

“I’ve waited for so long, and my second brother has finally broken up with that Grace. Now, no one can stop me.” 

Faced with her daughter who was immersed in her sweet dreams, Madam Anderson’s expression was especially complicated. “Mom, what’s wrong? What’s with your expression? Don’t you want me to be with my second brother?” Zoey frowned and shook the back of her mother’s hand. 

“No, I just…” 

Madam Anderson hesitated for a moment and said worriedly, “Although Joseph is a very outstanding person, he is really not a good match. He is not as simple as Grace’s childhood sweetheart. I heard from your eldest brother that he was married once before.” 

“Oh, Zoey, you are too innocent and foolish. Sawle Group’s situation is very complicated. I am afraid that wronged and bullied if you marry Joseph!” 

Zoey laughed in her heart. 

‘Foolish? I think it is that big stupid goose of Sawle family, Skyler, who is foolish!’

If she married him, she would definitely play around with Sawle family and the other women. Her mother had underestimated her! 

“Mom! I am Anderson Group’s daughter. Our family is no worse than Sawle Group. Moreover, you and big brother spoil me so much. If Sawle Group’s people dare to bully my big brother, he will definitely not let them go!” 

“But feelings have to be mutual. Even if you want to marry, you have to be willing to marry Joseph!” Madam Anderson felt helpless about this willful daughter. 

The corners of Zoey’s mouth curled into a confident smile. “With you and big brother here, I already have one more level of success than others. As long as I can prove to big brother Joseph that I am no longer the child of the past, I am also useful to him. I can also stand by his side. He will definitely see me!” 

“But…” 

“Aiya, there is no ‘but’. Mom, in any case, I will not marry second brother in this life!”
