Chapter 247
Thorp family’s big sister forcefully questioned him. It was as if she had ripped off Johan’s cloth and put an ungrateful hat on
his head!
‘Didn’t you want to clear up your relationship with Thorp family?
Good.
‘Then I must bring up the matter. You don’t want to see the light, so I will pull them out and let you see the light!’
The corners of Johan’s lips twitched. Although he still had a smile on his face, there was no trace of a smile in his eyes as he stared at Chloe.
There was even a chill in his eyes.
Was this woman that his second brother, Jordan, was infatuated with?
If he married this kind of troublesome woman into Stewart family’s door, then his family would not be able to have a good life in the future. Wouldn’t it be a mess?
The atmosphere became oppressive and awkward.
Jake felt that this Chloe was simply a god of plague descending to the mortal world. Every time he saw her, she wanted to stir up trouble!
There was no doubt about Johan’s ability as a lawyer. He had always wanted to take him under his command, but he did not know that he had such a relationship with Thorp family. This really made him very uncomfortable.
“It turns out that Lawyer Stewart and Thorp family have such an unknown past.”
Joseph said to Johan, but his deep eyes never left Chloe. “It seems that Miss Thorp is the daughter of your family’s benefactor.”
“Is this way you repay your kindness?” Lawyer Stewart repeatedly went against Miss Thorp.
Chloe couldn’t help but frown and smash the man’s words.
Was he standing up for her in front of her family and an outsider?
He had never sided with her when they were husband and wife. Was he cosplaying as a weasel now?
No need!
Hearing this, Rory’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
“Heh, Miss Thorp, according to what you said, because our Stewart family has received the favor of your Thorp family, I can’t be a lawyer, right?”
“I am a professional lawyer, and there are only two types of people in my eyes – the client and the client.”

“Miss Skyler is my client, and of course I have to do my best for her. This is understandable, isn’t it? If you hire me to file a
you, Miss Thorp, I will also perform my duty. This is different from whether I repay you or not.”
Joseph looked at the man’s hidden proud expression, and his eyes darkened and his fists hardened.
“Oh, I dare not invite you, Lawyer Stewart!”
“A powerful lawyer like you is a double-edged sword. If you help me beat someone up today, will you help others beat me up tomorrow?” Chloe said as she poked her face.
As she spoke, she poked her face again. “After all, my father is your father’s savior. You didn’t even give him face. I, Chloe, am just a little girl. What do I count for in your eyes? When you change the door, people want you to mess with me. Won’t you just kill yourself?”
“My temple is small, but I can’t afford a big Buddha like you.”
-After saying that, Chloe felt goosebumps all over her body.
“Eh —!”
When she got bitchy, even Grace, who was at her peak, would be willing to admit defeat, right?
Joseph looked at Chloe’s beautiful little face, which looked innocent but was actually full of evil intentions. The corners of her lips quietly rose, and she could not help but smile.
Johan coughed gloomily, and his lungs hurt from anger.
Skyler originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that she was in her old nest, and Johan was there, to ridicule Chloe in front of her. Even if she could not vent her anger, she could at least vent it.
As a result, after Chloe’s verbal attack, even Johan was defeated. What kind of demon did she dare to be? She hid behind
Aubree like a turtle.
“Grandpa!”
Chloe walked to Rory’s side and held the old man’s withered hand. Her eyes were full of worry. She looked closer than his own granddaughter, Skyler. “Are you feeling uncomfortable calling me over so late?”
“Don’t worry about the child. Grandpa is fine.”
Rory gently looked at the girl’s clear eyes and patted the back of her hand. “Grandpa is fine. He is very healthy.”
“That’s good.” Chloe heaved a sigh of relief.
“Raya, Grandpa invited you over this time. Actually, it is not a big deal. First, I miss you and want to see you. Second… I want. to ask you what happened between you and Skyler. Why did it become so big?”
“You and Skyler are both Grandpa’s good granddaughters. Grandpa hopes that both of you will be fine and make such an earth-shattering scene. Grandpa is very anxious.””
However, Chloe understood that her grandfather wanted to say a few words to his granddaughter.
For some reason, her nose felt sour, and her throat felt slightly choked.
No matter how well she treated his grandfather, it could never match the bond of a human’s blood relatives.
Even if the “good granddaughter” he spoke of was a villain who had evil intentions and repeatedly stabbed her in the back.
“Dad, when Skyler was at the police station for the past two days, she almost couldn’t take it anymore!”
Aubree took the opportunity to hug the sobbing Skyler and sobbed, “They took turns to interrogate your granddaughter 24 hours a day. They scared and scolded her, but they still didn’t let her sleep! Look… They tortured the child so much that he couldn’t even look human!”
Skyler, on the other hand, looked much more haggard, and her sad face made her look even more pitiful.
This eldest granddaughter was doted on by him since he was young. Although she was indeed not as good as Chloe, and she was not as good as Chloe who would make him happy. After she grew up, she had her own life and rarely came to visit him.
However, Skyler was actually his granddaughter… An old man like him still hoped to spend four lives in the same hall and enjoy the joys of life together.
Joseph saw that Chloe’s eyes were slightly red, and his expression was no longer as high-spirited as before. He felt unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart.
The little girl had clearly been wronged.
He suddenly remembered that she had lived like an outsider in this family for the three years she married him.
At that time, he didn’t know how to feel sorry for her and even hoped that she would back off because of this and take the initiative to propose a divorce to him.
At this moment, the scene from before seemed to repeat itself once more.
However, Joseph had already missed it once. He would never allow himself to make a second mistake!
Thus, his expression was cold and stern. His eyes surged with anger as he strode over to Old Master.
In the next second, everyone was stunned!
They saw Joseph raise his arm and naturally wrap his arm around Chloe’s shoulder, pulling her into his embrace.
It was as if she was originally his woman, and they never divorced!
Chloe’s beautiful eyes widened, and all the blood in her body froze.
“Joseph, you…!”
“Grandpa
The man did not give her a chance to break free. He held her round shoulders and tightened his fingers,
“Instead of asking Miss Thorp what happened, you might as well ask what your good granddaughter, Skyler, has done.”
