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

Chapter 246 

Joseph said firmly and left with large strides. 

Johan stood rooted to the ground, his entire body cold and filled with a strong sense of shame. 

Born into a family of lawyers, his parents had high hopes for him since he was young. His younger brothers looked up to him, and his life was mostly smooth sailing. He was an outstanding figure among Medo’s lawyers. 

Even the wealthiest of tycoons, who had seemingly limitless power, had to humble themselves and ask him to come out. 

When had he ever been humiliated like this? 

Wait. 

Johan furrowed his brows and turned around to look at the man’s proud back. 

What was the connection between Mr. Sawle and Chloe? Why was he, a man who had never been close to women and lacked emotion, so enraged that he was almost livid for her? 

He was quite familiar with Thorp family. She was a celestial figure. She was the apple of Stefan’s eye. Others were arrogant, but Miss Thorp was in outer space. How could the vulgar men in the world enter her eyes? 

There was only one possibility. Joseph was an illegitimate child who overestimated himself and adored Thorp family! Even if he was as handsome as a painting, so what? 

His mother did not get a title even in her death. His position as the president was just a charity from Sawle Group! 

“Heh, the one who resides in the Eastern Palace may not be the Crown Prince. Even if you don your dragon robes, you won’t 

be able to become the Emperor! Joseph, with your humble origins, do you think you are worthy of having ambitions for the Thorp family? Keep dreaming!” 

Johan’s gaze was icy as he walked into the villa. 

Seeing Joseph and Johan walk in, everyone was a little surprised. 

“Dad, this Johan or Lawyer Stewart is a rare talent. If not for him, Skyler would definitely not have come out so easily. Lawyer Stewart has made a great contribution.” 

“Therefore, I plan to hire Lawyer Stewart to be the Minister of Legal Affairs of our Sawle Group. What do you think?” Jake asked. 

“Hello, Mr. Sawle. I have long admired your name. It is an honor to see you today.” Johan smiled and bowed politely to Rory. 

“Johan… You are Jeremy’s eldest son?” Rory looked at him and asked seriously. 

“Yes, my father is Jeremy.” 

“Do you know my father?” Johan looked proud and happy. 

Joseph watched their interaction from the side, his brows furrowed. 

He hated this Johan who exuded the aura of a hypocrite, but from the looks of it, his grandfather seemed to have some friendship with his father. 

“Of course I know him.” 

Rory looked at him simperingly. “Back then, my youngest son, Tany, was sentenced by your father. He was impartial and impartial, and was sentenced to four whole years.” 

Everyone was shocked! 

Johan’s face turned pale in an instant, and he almost couldn’t stop laughing awkwardly. 

In an instant, memories surged, and that dark past split open a crack in Jake’s heart, causing his expression to darken in an 

instant. 

This subtle change in expression was inadvertently captured by Joseph. 

“Mr. Sawle, although my father’s business ability is strong, he is indeed a person who does not know how to be flexible. I apologize to you for what he did back then.” 

Johan did not expect the situation to take a sharp turn. Seeing that Old Master Sawle was so serious, he felt that this might be the old grudge, so he quickly bowed to him and apologized. 

“Ah, interesting.” 

Rory raised his eyebrows. “What did your father do wrong? Why did you apologize for him?” 

“I…” Johan was stunned and his expression froze. 

“As a judge, he is upright and upright, fair and strict. Isn’t this most basic professional accomplishment? You apologize for him. Do you want to say that he did that in the past, was he wrong?” 

“I… Mr. Sawle, you misunderstood. I didn’t mean that.” Johan smiled awkwardly. 

“I’ve actually been aware of you for quite some time. You’re renowned for representing the wealthy, from minor celebrities to the affluent. Many have sought your services in the past.” 

“Had you not mentioned that you were Jeremy’s son, I would have been convinced that the two of you were not related.” 

“Your way of doing things is really different from your father’s.” 

Anyone could tell that his words were full of sarcasm! 

Wasn’t this questioning of Johan’s character? 

Joseph couldn’t help but raise his thin lips slightly. Jake and Aubree’s expressions were not so good. 

“Mr. Sawle!” 

At this time, Secretary Webb hurriedly walked in and said respectfully, “Miss Thorp has arrived.” 

Joseph’s heart shook heavily, and his dark pupils suddenly shrank! 

Everyone’s complicated gazes simultaneously looked outside the door. 

Da. 

The sharp and crisp sound of high heels seemed to have stepped on his heart. 

Chloe walked into this place that she had lived in for three years alone, but at this moment, she exuded a cold and noble aura, just like the first time she stepped here. 

In an instant, Joseph’s vision became dazed. 

It felt like they hadn’t divorced yet. 

“Grandpa, I’m here.” 

Chloe smiled brightly, blinking her bright eyes as she walked over to her grandpa. 

When she passed by Joseph, she didn’t linger. 

It was as if they didn’t know each other at all. 

The man held his breath and slowly clenched his ten fingers in the dark. His heart missed and he fell uncontrollably. 

After marriage, every time he saw his ex-wife, it was as if he was going through a cruel torture, a monstrous catastrophe. 

“Chloe!” 

Skyler stared at Chloe’s beautiful face. If Aubree hadn’t pulled her, she would have pounced on her and bitten her to pieces! 

“Eh? Isn’t this Brother Johan? What a coincidence.” 

When she passed by Johan, Chloe suddenly stopped and looked at him with a smile. 

Johan was stunned! 

Everyone was also shocked! 

Brother Johan? Such a close address, could it be that their relationship was not shallow? 

“Miss Thorp, long time no see.” Johan forced a smile and responded with a rather distant address. 

“Indeed, it has been five or six years since Brother Johan visited my father, right? He even thought of you a while ago. Our two families are old acquaintances.” 

I remember when I was young, Uncle Stewart often brought you and Jordan to our house as guests. In recent years, he hasn’t been very active and has become distant. 

Director Sawle, you still don’t know, right? Uncle Stewart and his three young masters have always been the guests of our Thorp Group. 

After Uncle Stewart retired, he was once the head of our KS Group’s legal department. It was just that Uricle Stewart was a low-key person, so no one knew about this matter. 

Johan forced himself to put on an expression, but his cheeks were burning. 

Chloe’s words sounded casual, but each word was piercing to his throat! 

What he was most unwilling to mention was that his family had once enjoyed the favor of Thorp family, and he even had to 

admit in his heart that his achievements today were related to Thorp family’s financial support! 

If he wanted to make a big move and become stronger, he had to get rid of the shadow of Thorp family if he wanted to change the door! 

“I didn’t expect that Lawyer Stewart and Thorp family are so close,” Jake said thoughtfully. 

“My father has indeed been KS Group’s legal consultant for a few years, but he has long been dismissed. Thorp family and I haven’t been in contact for many years.” Johan hurriedly opened his mouth, and his words were all to clear 

up the relationship with Thorp Group. 

“Brother Johan, no, Lawyer Stewart.” 

Chloe narrowed her eyes slightly, and her smile gradually became cold. “You should not have forgotten that when Uncle Stewart retired, Stewart family experienced a big change. If not for my father’s help, it would have been difficult for your family to cross the tribulation. 

“Back then, my father was indebted to your father, and you, Stewart family, also ate a lot of our favors. We never thought of asking you to repay us. But you should not ally with outsiders and make trouble for me.” 

“Ungrateful, tearing down the bridge after crossing the river. Is this your rule as a lawyer?” The young lady’s red lips curled up, and a cold and beautiful sneer appeared on her face. Send Gift
