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

Chapter 37 

Brown Group was caught in a double crisis of huge products and trust. 

Netizens clamored to boycott Brown Group’s products. Miller claimed more than 500 stores in the country, which he was proud of, but now he had closed down 400 stores in less than a week. The remaining more than 100 stores were just struggling at death’s door. 

Looking at the huge loss of money day by day, Chairman Brown, who was already in poor health, completely fell ill. 

Willow Bell personally came to ask her sister for help, but Aubree did not, dare to intervene, and could only watch on the wall. 

“Rory has already issued an ultimatum. If anyone helps Brown Group, he will deal with them by force. Sister, I am also a daughter–in–law who is living under someone else’s roof. There is no way to describe the sadness in my heart.” 

“Although Sawle Group can’t make a move, I have already asked Jake to pick a date for Grace and Joseph as soon as possible.” Aubree sighed. “It will be on the weekend after Old Master’s birthday. What do you think?” 

“And, we still have to wait until his eightieth birthday?” Willow asked impatiently. 

She could wait, but Brown Group couldn’t! 

“Sigh, I can’t wait for Grace to marry Joseph tomorrow, but Old Master insisted on waiting until the 80th birthday. I can’t do anything about it.” “I heard that Miss Lewis slept with KS Group’s president after leaving Joseph. She was picked up by President Thorp on the day she left Sawle family. Many people saw her.” Aubree lowered her voice. 

Willow/had heard a thing or two from her son last time, and she was extremely jealous. 

She hated her daughter for not having such a superb skill in taking men down. 

“I was thinking, this time, the reason why KS was so against Brown Group, could it be because Raya had persuaded President Thorp?” Aubree looked ignorant and continued fanning the flames. Willow was immediately enlightened by her sister’s “guidance“. She

suddenly sat up from the sofa and her eyes were red with resentment. 

“That damn girl… Not only did she delay Grace’s marriage, but now, even though she has divorced Young Master Sawle, she still wants to frame us! She looked around and found a new backer and no one can touch her, right?” 

“Sigh, it’s really not easy to touch her.” 

Aubree tsked, “After all, Miss Lewis is now the apple of President Thorp’s eye. Thorp family is not some family that others can afford to offend.” “That’s right, what kind of background does Thorp family have… Is it something that a chicken like her can fly in?” 

Willow was burning with anger. A cold light flashed in her eyes as a plan appeared in her mind. “Hmph, isn’t that Miss Lewis very good at pretending to be good in front of Old Master Sawle? Pretending to be deeply in love with Young Master Sawle, obedient and docile. She must have hooked up with President Thorp long ago. Otherwise, how could she get together with him so quickly!” 

“If her hypocritical face was revealed on the day of Old Master Sawle’s birthday, it would be very lively, sister!” 

Aubree smiled without saying a word, picked up the advanced English teacup and took a sip of black tea. 

‘This is a good idea, but it was all your idea. I didn’t say anything.‘ 

At KS WORLD Hotel, in the general manager’s office. 

The scene was bloody and screaming. 

Chloe was talented and smart. Now that she had finished all the documents, she opened her favorite game and became a few butcher fried fish. 

She had just cut down a student and showed the blood on the screen. Jordan walked over and saw this scene. She was so scared that she turned her face away and closed her eyes. 

“If you have something to do, start playing. If you have nothing to do, leave.” Chloe’s keyboard and mouse cooperated with each other, and her fingers reacted quickly, making people unable to take it in. 

“Young miss, there are two interesting things to report to you.” 

As he spoke, Jordan covered the screen with one hand, and the other 

13:10 

hand quickly put the document in front of his and retreated far away. 

“Oh my goodness… are you alright? You’re so shy, how will you be able to protect your girlfriend in the future? Next time, I’ll take you to play in the hidden room to help you build up your courage!” 

After saying that, Chloe, who had turned into a butcher, cut down another person and showed a screen of blood. 

“Good job!” 

Jordan’s expression was completely split open. 

After playing the game and there was no one else alive, she left in satisfaction and picked up the documents. 

“Isn’t this classic file of our Thorp Pawnshop? Why did you take it out?” 

“These jewelry were sold by Grace’s mother when she sent someone to sell it at our pawn shop.” 

“Big sis is wise. She asked me to keep an eye on Brown family’s 

movements these few days. As expected, I found something,” Jordan said with a smile. 

“As expected, if Sawle Group doesn’t make a move, Brown Group can only think of ways to raise money to fill the hole.” Chloe smiled. 

“But I thought they would sell houses and places. I didn’t expect that they only sold some jewelry. It seems that the big family can still afford to pay.” 

“It’s just burning the last bit of money to survive. It’s better to slowly bleed to death than to cut it off.” 

“Let them splash dirty water on us. This is Brown Group’s retribution!” Jordan snorted. 

Chloe didn’t say anything else and just looked through the files of the classics. 

Almost no one knew that Thorp family had a very well–trusted and large–scale pawn shop in Medo and Sea Gate. 

Because Stefan liked to collect antiques, calligraphy, and paintings, and rare treasures, he secretly sent people to open two pawn shops in order to obtain unexpected treasures. 

Relying on the pawn shop, the old man had earned a lot in the past few years. After all, only a few people who entered the pawn shop could redeem the antiques back.

Suddenly, Chloe’s pupils contracted, and her fingertips trembled slightly. When she saw the “Heart of Crimson Flame” in the list, she forced herself to suppress the surging blood in her chest, and ridicule and resentment intertwined in her red eyes. 

This was the token of love that Joseph had painstakingly sent to Grace. Two years ago, when she first saw him staring at the pendant in a daze under the light of the lamp, she fell deeply in love with it. 

At that time, she dreamed that the necklace belonged to her, and she also wanted Joseph to give her a gift. Even if not for so expensive, even if it was only a stone, she was happy. 

But dreams were always dreams. 

Joseph only gave gifts to the people he loved. He did not love her, and she was not even worthy of a stone. 

But now, Grace actually sold off the man’s infatuation. The more Chloe looked at it, the more she wanted to laugh, but there was an unspeakable bitterness hidden in her misty eyes. 

“I really want to see how Joseph will feel when he finds out.” 

“What did you say?” Jordan did not hear her whisper clearly. 

“Brown family does not know what is good. This necklace is worth much more, and they actually sold it for seven million? That is our profit.” Chloe put on a cold smile, and her delicate face was full of evil. 

At this time, her mobile phone rang. It was her big brother. 

“Big brother!” Chloe collected her emotions, and her voice was crisp and sweet, like sugar cane. 

“Chloe, how have you been? Are you tired? Is there anything I can help you with?” Oscar asked in a gentle voice. 

“Not tired, not tired. But big brother, don’t work too hard. Pay more 

attention to rest.” 

I 

The brother and sister chatted for a while, and Oscar returned to the point. “There is a charity auction this weekend. You can go and attend it for me. Dad asked me to help him grab the ancient pear wood chair for him. The budget is one hundred million.” 

“But I have to go to the church to teach this weekend, so… I have to trouble you to buy it back.” 

“Me? What right do I have? The girlfriend of the President of KS Group, 

Oscar?” Chloe teased him, picked up the chocolate and took a bite. 

“Sure.” 

“?” Chloe asked. 

“As long as you go, you will be whoever you say you are. Why don’t you just say that you are Thorp family’s little ancestor?” 

Chloe chewed on the chocolate and nodded, “Good idea!” 

Oscar chuckled, “Either way, you have never shown your face in front of the media or the public. No one in Medo’s upper–class circle recognizes you, so you can go and play without worries.” 

“Alright, alright! But the budget is only one hundred million. What if I have something that I like too?” 

“That’s it. I’ll give more to you. It’s just our Thorp Group tradition. As long as we participate in the auction, we must get it. We can’t leave any opportunities for others, no matter how much more we have to shell 

out.” 

“I know, Stefan’s family rules. If we walk the path of others, there is no way for others to walk!” Chloe cracked her knuckles with a smile. 

“I wish you good luck, Chloe. Don’t forget.” 

After hanging up the phone, Jordan, who was at the side, reminded worriedly, “Young miss, since we are participating in the charity auction for the young master, I’m afraid it won’t look good if we don’t bring any treasures. But isn’t it a little rushed to prepare now?” 

“Yes, I will bring them. I have already prepared them.” 

Chloe’s lips curved slightly, and the corners of her eyes were raised into a sly smile like a little fox.

Chapter 38 

On the weekend, Medo Auction Center. 

Many reporters gathered outside the venue. In order to protect the privacy of the rich and powerful, they could only wait outside. 

However, the people who came here were all real top collectors and investors. The world was bustling with noise and excitement. They were not celebrities who needed exposure. Everyone had no interest in interviews and only wanted treasures. 

Besides the Belll sisters and Grace. 

ww 

Every year at this time, Aubree would dress up and attend, making a high–end charity auction like a third–rate star walking the red carpet. She blocked the entrance and allowed the media to take photos of her. Under the persuasion of the staff, she left with a face full of resentment. 

It seemed that she was afraid that everyone would forget that she was the ex–actress who used to destroy other families more than 20 years ago, causing Jake to not personally come to participate in it for two years. It was probably because she felt that it was degrading. 

However, this year, Aubree did not play the same trick again. After all, Willow repeatedly asked her to leave the opportunity to show up to the mother and daughter last night. They were relatives. No matter how unwilling she was, she had to give face. 

So this year, those standing at the door were replaced by Ms Bell and her daughter. 

“This time, we, Brown Group, are attending the auction. We hope to be able to get an excellent collection and do our best for charity.” In front of the reporters, Willow displayed the temperament of a top lady and spoke generously. 

“Madam Brown, how is Brown Group’s financial situation recently? I heard that you are already on the verge of bankruptcy?” The reporter asked sharply. 

“Has Young Master Brown’s investigation ended? Will he be sentenced?” 

“I heard that your daughter and President Sawle Group had an emotional change. Is that true?” 

Emotional change? 

Grace heard this sentence clearly and suddenly stepped forward with a 

13:10 

mop skirt. She stared at the reporter with her round eyes, which made his scalp numb. 

“What change? Where did you hear it from?” 

“This… Miss Brown, you don’t have to be so nervous. We are just asking.” 

“After all, Brown Group was in trouble. As your fiancé, Mr. Sawle hasn’t helped you and hasn’t expressed his feelings yet. It is understandable for the outside world to trigger this speculation.” 

“Brother Joseph and I haven’t broken up! You are not allowed to talk nonsense!” 

When Grace thought about how Joseph had not taken the initiative to contact her for the past few days, she immediately became anxious and her voice rose by 80. 

Willow pulled her daughter, who could not keep her cool, behind her and smiled at the camera. “My daughter and Mr. Sawle’s relationship has always been stable. Please do not think too much about it. As for the business secrets between Brown Group and Sawle Group, we are not too 

sure.” 

“Today, Mr. Sawle also attended this occasion. Why didn’t he show up together with Miss Brown?” 

“The two of you have never showed up together in public, right? Is it to avoid suspicion?” 

“What are they avoiding? If Mr. Sawle came, how could he not get along with my daughter…” 

“But many of us saw that Mr. Sawle had already entered half an hour earlier.” A reporter suddenly said. 

Mrs. Brown and her daughter were caught off guard, and their faces. turned green. 

On the other side, Joseph had already entered the hall with Max. 

“Joseph!” 

Vincent hurriedly walked over. His pair of slanted eyes narrowed as he directly came up and intimately hugged Joseph’s waist. 

“Tsk, not bad. It’s quite sturdy.” 

Young Master Anderson even pinched the man’s narrow waist. 

“Your hand, behave yourself.” Joseph frowned slightly and did not move, 

but gave him a cold glance. 

“Pfft, pretending to be serious. Where did you pinch me when I was a child?” 

“Hey, your fiancée and your future mother–in–law are here. Why don’t you go over and say hello?” Vincent stopped touching his waist. 

“To avoid suspicion.” 

“It’s okay. It seems that you are still saved. This time, you don’t follow Miss Brown. You should know that Brown Group is really notorious in the industry now. Whoever touches her will get into trouble.” 

“Who is saved?” 

“Don’t think that I won’t dare to do anything to you just because this is your Anderson Group’s territory, Vincent.” Joseph’s face darkened. 

Everyone in the upper–class circle knew that the Anderson Group was the behind–the–scenes boss of Medo Auction Center. 

“Brother, I’m doing this for your own good. I really don’t want to see your reputation be ruined by that useless Brown Group.” 

Vincent chuckled, “My grandfather originally did not want Brown Group’s people to come to the charity banquet, but he was afraid that he would embarrass you, so he let them go.” 

“One has to know that with Brown family’s level, they are not worthy of being here.” 

“Right now, she is not worthy, but Grace will marry me sooner or later. At that time, I hope you can change your opinion of her.” 

“After all, Brown family is Brown family, and she is her.” Joseph’s eyes were obscure. 

“I understand, I still have to respect your wife–to–be. But Joseph, I think you don’t like to hear me say this.” 

“Then don’t say it.” 

“In terms of appearance and character, I still think that the former sister–in–law’s sonorous and wild character is more suitable for you.” Vincent’s mouth was too fast, so he still said it. 

Max covered his mouth hard. 

“There is no future between her and me. Furthermore, I will never do such a thing.” Joseph said coldly. 

Vincent shrugged. He was too lazy to point it out and changed the topic. 

“Is there anything you want for today’s auction?” 

“Yes, it is.” 

He was prepared to bid for it and give it to his grandfather for a birthday present. 

“You have good taste! I can help you pull the strings. If someone wants to snatch it from you, I will think of a way to persuade him to give up.” 

“No need.” 

Joseph shook his head lightly, “Charity auctions are mainly based on the word ‘charity. If the treasure is fated with me, it will naturally be in my hands. If it is not fated, it will lose the fun of the auction.” 

The two of them entered the venue and walked straight to the first row. 

This row was the VIP of the VIP. Only the real noble or elite people were qualified to sit here. 

As Vincent and Joseph, two handsome and tall figures, entered the venue, a small wave of excitement swept through the crowd. 

The young socialites‘ faces turned red instantly. 

“Mr. Sawle is too handsome. Isn’t this the ideal man on earth?” 

“Ideal? I think you should stop thinking about it. Mr. Sawle is going to marry Brown family’s daughter. Don’t you know?” 

“What? It’s the Brown family who sells poor quality products? Oh my god, that small family doesn’t even deserve to carry shoes for our family. Mr. Sawle is blind!” 

“Grace and Mr. Sawle are childhood sweethearts. Mr. Sawle divorced his ex–wife because of that woman. How strong can you be to snatch him away from Grace?” 

“Tsk tsk… What a pitiful ex–wife! Look at Grace’s fake appearance. I bet that Mr. Sawle will hate her in less than two years!” 

Joseph sat down gracefully, his whole body exuding a strong aura of not allowing strangers to enter. 

He inadvertently glanced sideways and saw that in each aisle, there was a chair marked with the name “Oscar” in front of his eyes. 

The man’s thin lips were closed, and there was a cold crease between his eyebrows. 

“Aiya, Joseph, I really can’t do anything about this. The seats in the first row were reserved by my grandfather in advance. I don’t dare to move 

around.” 

Vincent saw through his thoughts and whispered into his ear, “This seat is the most testing of the ways of the world. Even your stepmother and your two silly sisters have been arranged by me to the back. Just tell me how precious these chairs are.” 

“Oscar is Stefan’s eldest son and also President of the KS Group. Our Anderson Group can not be biased. Bear with it. Bear with it.” 

In the lobby outside the conference hall, the Bell sisters were socializing with a few noble ladies. Skyler and Grace were holding hands in the business meeting, while Sawle family’s fourth miss, Annie, was already hiding somewhere. 

“Where is little sister Annie? Why is she missing?” Grace asked. 

“It doesn’t matter what she does. In short, she won’t die.” Skyler was annoyed when she mentioned this younger sister. 

She felt that she was cowardly and had lost face for the Sawle family. 

“Aiya, don’t say that. Annie is your younger sister and Sawle family’s youngest daughter. You have to dote on her more.” Grace pretended to be gentle and kind as she tried to persuade her. 

“I hope that there has never been a younger sister like her. What a disgrace.” 

It was fine if she did not try to persuade her, but once she tried to persuade Skyler, she became even more furious. 

Grace secretly snickered in her heart. 

It would be better to drive a wedge between the two sisters. Otherwise, if she married Sawle family and the two sister–in–law worked together to mess with her one day, would she have a good life? 

At this time, a series of powerful and domineering footsteps broke through the air. 

The Bell sisters, Grace, Skyler, and several noble ladies all looked in the direction of the footsteps. 

They saw Chloe, dressed in a black suit, rushing into the vision of everyone in a swift and decisive manner. 

She was still a frenzied killer, her speed unmatched, and her red lips remained beautiful. 

Chloe seemed to be dressed casually, but compared to Grace and Skyler who had been carefully dressed for several hours, the two of them were so angry that their skirts were wrinkled! 

Chloe followed behind Jordan. Today, Jordan also dressed up slightly, looking handsome and charming. 

The master and servant originally wanted to directly ignore this flowery 

woman. 

Unexpectedly, Aubree smiled and called out to her at this time. 

“Aiya, I really didn’t expect to see you at such an occasion. It’s too surprising. The tolerance of charity events is really strong.” 

The implication was that she, Raya, was a rural village girl, how could she be worthy of being a noble? 

Chloe suddenly stopped, one hand in the pocket of her trousers, looking at Aubree simperingly. 

“There are many things you haven’t seen under the sun. You feel that the accident is not unreasonable, but that you still need to broaden your horizons.”
