Chapter 40
Chapter 40
Chloe did not wear a cumbersome evening dress, but chose a black suit designed by herself. She was still wearing another brooch made of the top jewelry designer, Alexa, made of yellow diamond.
She appeared valiant and heroic, her clean style unique, and she quietly suppressed the rich and noble ladies.
They were pampered Princesses.
And she, Chloe, was always a domineering queen!
Grace saw that the nail in her eyes had become the focus of the audience, and her heart was bleeding with hatred.
At this time, the two ladies next to her exclaimed and looked at Chloe, talking non–stop.
“My God, whose daughter is this? She has such a temperament!”
“Fortunately, she is young. Otherwise, I really thought she was the female boss of a financial group. This aura is even worse than men!”
“Did you see her brooch? It’s the Temple – class collection work of ALeah – the Twilight of the Gods! Three years ago, someone offered a hundred million yuan to pocket it, and even ALeah scoffed at it!”
What? The Twilight of the Gods?
As long as one came into contact with a jewelry circle, who didn’t know about the “Twilight of the Gods” that caused a stir three years ago?
Just now, Grace was too busy being angry and did not notice Chloe’s attire. Now that she looked at it again, she was so jealous that her teeth
hurt!
“Ah, it seems that this Raya has really gained a lot of benefits from President Thorp.”
Willow was both jealous and impressed. She fiercely gave her daughter a pestle and complained, “I have raised you, but in the end, your methods are inferior to a country girl!”
If not for your aunt giving you advice on behalf of your relatives and giving you a chance to get close to Joseph, how could a three–legged cat like you capture Joseph’s heart
“Mom! I have already won, why do you still say such words to destroy my morale?”

A Billion–Rich Woman Was Chased by Her Ex–Husband
“So what if Raya hooked up with Oscar? Sawle family is no worse than Thorp family!” Grace clenched her fists tightly, her eyes red.
“Moreover, they have already divorced. Raya is an abandoned woman! A second–hand goods! Brother Joseph will never turn back! He is my man for the rest of his life!”
“One day you don’t get the certificate, one day you can’t let your guard down!”
“Recently, Mr. Sawle has clearly been cold to you. Even I can see it.” Willow was still a little scared.
Moreover, that old bastard Sawle family still refused to accept you and tried every possible means to delay their divorce. There is still a saying in‘ this matter.
If you think that Raya is no longer with Sawle family, you can rest easy, then you are really stupid enough to rise to the heavens!
How could Grace not know that Joseph was not as warm to her as before, but she had not even seen Joseph gege in the past few days, how could she display her whole body!
Chloe swept past the back row, carrying a wisp of fragrance as she passed by Aubree and Skyler.
“Mom, that village girl… where does she want to sit?” Skyler asked
nervously.
The smile on Aubree’s face could no longer be maintained. She originally thought that it would be good enough for Raya to have a place, but she never expected that she would actually walk towards the first row where big shots gathered!
Joseph watched as Chloe walked to his side and felt his heart skip a beat.
However, this woman did not even give him a glimpse. <u>She was like a stranger to him and sat elegantly and calmly in Oscar’s seat.
“Oscar found Miss Lewis to represent him? Even I didn’t know about this!” Vincent was shocked and confused.
Joseph took a deep breath and frowned, glancing at the woman who was two meters away from him.
There was a faint smile on Chloe’s red lips. Her face was bright and beautiful, but she exuded a cold aura that was beyond imagination.
She meant it. She didn’t even look at him and treated him as air.

“It turns out that the Twilight of the Gods is with her!”
“Three years ago, it was my mother’s birthday. I tried everything I could to get my hands on the Twilight of the Gods and give it to her as a birthday present.” Vincent slapped his thigh.
“I was so angry that I threw a hundred million, and I stooped to beg Alexa to sell the brooch to me, but he actually ignored me.”
“I didn’t expect that the brooch would actually be in Miss Lewis‘ hands. Oscar… really put in a lot of effort on her! I really feel speechless this time!”
When Joseph heard this, his heart trembled.
No one knew better than him the feeling of putting in so much effort for the person he loved.
Back then, in order to prepare a birthday present for Grace, he had spent more than half a month in his busy schedule to rush to France. How many times had he been treated coldly, how many times had he been rejected? Only then had he begged that designer to build “Heart of Crimson Flame“.
Raya had married him for three years, and he had never given her a
present.
Now, she had followed Oscar, and that man had given her a dazzling love like a diamond.
Joseph raised his eyebrows and cast two dark shadows. His heart
immediately felt a trace of inexplicable bitterness.
Seeing that Oscar was so good to his ex–wife, no matter how he looked at her, he felt uncomfortable.
It seemed that he, as her ex–husband, was very useless.
All the guests had arrived, and the auction officially began.
As the representative of Anderson Group, the eldest young master, Vincent, was dressed in an SL high–definition suit and had an
extraordinary temperament. He leisurely went up to the stage to make the opening speech.
Skyler had a half–opened mouth and looked at her “husband“. In her mind, she had already begun to name their future eight children.
The applause was thunderous. Vincent walked down the stage, revealing two rows of white teeth. He raised his eyebrows and gave Chloe a sly wink.
A Billion–Rich Woman Was Chased by Her Ex–Husband
Chloe’s almond–shaped eyes turned cold and she rolled her eyes.
Joseph saw Vincent’s wanton actions and his handsome face was so black that it could wringout ink!
“Bro, how was my performance just now?”
Vincent smiled and returned to Joseph’s side, his elbow hitting him.
“Very good, one more time.”
“I’ll chop you up,” Joseph said as he slanted his gaze at him.
“Big brother, what have I done to you? You’re even more difficult to deal with than the hundreds of girlfriends I’ve had before!”
Very quickly, the first item was displayed in front of everyone. It was a painting of the Song Dynasty cultural relics. The style of the painting was simple and plain. It had a divine appearance. It was a masterpiece. However, the painter was not a master, so the base price was only one million.
Joseph was actually only interested in cultural relics, but since he was young, he had been influenced by his grandfather and father and became half an expert.
He could tell at a glance that this painting was exactly the same in his grandfather’s painting room.
Grandfather’s painting was authentic. Medo Auction Center’s painting should be a replica of the exquisite copy of the art.
There was a huge difference between a replica and a counterfeit. Some of the quality replicas had also been auctioned at a high price. However, with the authentic works in front of them, this was not worth
mentioning.
“1.5 million!”
“Two million!”
“Three million!”
Just as the auctioneer was about to strike the hammer, a clear and gentle voice rang out.
“Five million.” Chloe slowly raised the sign.
Everyone looked at this mysterious and beautiful woman in surprise. Joseph glanced at Chloe’s beautiful side profile and felt suspicious. First of all, this painting was not worth five million at all. It was more
than three million.
Secondly, Raya had been with her grandfather for so long. Usually, she helped her grandfather to take care of those rare treasures and antique paintings. It was impossible for her not to know that the authentic works were with her grandfather. Why did she spend so much money to buy this replica?
“Six million!”
Everyone turned their eyes to the back.
They saw Grace raise the number card in her hand high, as if she was afraid that others would not see it.
How could she endure this bitch showing off in the limelight? She wanted to steal the face she lost tonight!
“Seven million.” Chloe calmly raised her paddle again.
“Eight million!” Grace followed up and shouted loudly. The people around her looked at her.
Willow’s heart skipped a beat. When had she ever participated in such a high–level auction? A broken painting was raised to seven million in the blink of an eye. She was only the first!
‘No, don’t look at anything else?‘
“Mom, should we follow?” Skyler was a little unhappy that Grace was in the limelight and asked Aubree in a low voice.
“We are all relatives. Let’s stop fighting in private.”
She had gone to too many auctions like Aubree, so she would only stay at the very back.
“Nine million.” Chloe raised the sign again, as if she would not give up until she won the painting.
Willow’s blood pressure rose.
To prepare a birthday gift for that old bastard Sawle family, she really didn’t want to spend such a high budget.
“Ten million!” Grace was already intoxicated and raised his paddle again with red eyes.
The crowd was in an uproar!
“This is only the first item to be auctioned, and it isn’t anything valuable.” Vincent laughed.
—
Aiya, I’ve struck it rich. Joseph, do you think I should thank my ex–sister–in–law or find sister–in–law better?
The pair of large hands and fingers on Joseph’s knees intertwined, his thin lips tightly closed, and his expression was as gloomy as a mountain.
“Grace, don’t follow when Raya calls out the price next time! Ten million is too much!” Willow held onto Grace’s hand and was sweating profusely as she advised her nervously.
Chloe’s brows held a trace of a sneer, and she was just about to raise her slender and white hands when she put them down again.
“Ten million! Deal! Congratulations to Brown Group’s Miss Brown, for securing a famous painting!”
Grace’s face was flushed red, and her smile was lively. She felt that she had won a great victory, and her limelight had overshadowed that slut.
However, Willow’s eyes turned black and she could not laugh no matter what.
At this moment, Jordan was outside the field and saw the situation in the field through his mobile phone.
‘Young lady, as expected of you! You lured Grace to pay nine times the price just for a replica!‘
‘You really saw through this stupid vixen’s shallow thoughts thoroughly!’
