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

Chapter 7 

Inside the ward. 

The sickly Rory immediately came back to life when he saw Chloe, his eyes shining. 

“Raya! Come here! Come to Grandpa!“– 

Chloe did a 180 in her attitude and sat next to Rory obediently. 

“Grandpa, how do you feel? Are you still uncomfortable?” 

“No matter how unwell I feel, when I see you, I’m instantly cured!” 

“Raya, this brat said that you are divorced. Is that true?” Rory asked anxiously. 

“Yes, Grandpa. We are divorced.” Chloe’s long eyelashes trembled, and her heart sank. 

“You disgusting swine! You’d rather marry the immoral girl than accept such a great daughter–in–law?” Rory, with difficulty, bowed and shot Joseph a furious look. 

Joseph was worried about his grandfather’s health and did not dare to talk back. 

“Grandpa, don’t be angry with Joseph. It’s just that I don’t want to 

continue this marriage. Joseph and I… can be considered to be on the same page.” Chloe comforted him softly, patting her grandfather’s back. 

Joseph’s dark pupils shrank. 

This woman actually did not complain in front of his grandfather nor use his grandfather to take revenge on him? 

Could it be that she wanted to use this kind of unconventional method to grab hold of his heart and redeem the marriage that had already come to 

an end? 

‘Raya, where did you get the confidence to think that I would definitely be attracted to you?‘ 

“Raya, did you suffer in our family? Did Aubree treat you badly?” Rory asked in distress. 

“Not really. Joseph and I are simply not compatible. We can’t connect with each other, so it’s best for us both if we part ways.” 

Chloe’s eyes got sad, “Don’t hold Joseph accountable. We have created 

19-131 

beautiful memories together over the past three years. That’s enough. We don’t have any regrets.” 

Joseph frowned slightly, and there was a little indescribable feeling in his heart. 

In his impression, he didn’t remember any beautiful memories with Raya. He didn’t even give her a formal wedding. 

It was just that they were forced by his grandfather to hastily register their marriage, and then she came to Sawle family with a simple luggage, and just like that, she became his wife in name only. 

Did this woman really think that it was beautiful? 

“Raya… Could it be… that I was wrong?” 

Rory’s eyes were moist, and he sighed with self–blame, “I really wanted you to be happy so I asked you to be together… I didn’t expect this stinky brat to not give me face. Sigh! In the end, it’s grandfather who has let you down.” 

“Don’t say that, Grandpa. I’ve really accepted my destiny, honestly.” Thirteen years of infatuation, now laid to rest, only heaven knew the depth of her pain, as if she had peeled off a layer of her own skin. However, Joseph was already so determined. If she continued to pester him, she would lose her dignity. She did not want to become a hateful woman in order to get a man’s love. 

“Webb, quickly bring me the birthday present I prepared for my granddaughter–in–law!” 

Secretary Webb hurriedly put on his white gloves and took a delicate red velvet jewelry box. 

The box opened, and there was only an impeccable collection level imperial jade bracelet! 

Chloe knew how to identify treasures, so she could tell at a glance that this was an old item. It had at least a hundred years of history! 

“Grandpa, isn’t this Grandma’s…” Joseph looked at the bracelet and was stunned. 

“Yes, this is the token of love that I bestowed upon your grandmother in the past. It is a precious heirloom from our Sawle family lineage. It was handed down from your great–grandfather.” 

“Before your grandmother departed, she expressed to me that this jade 

bracelet was her favorite. She wished that I could bestow it to my granddaughter–in–law in the future.” 

“Now that your grandmother is not here, I want to give this to my favorite Raya. Only she is worthy of such a good thing.” 

“No, grandpa. This, this is too precious. Moreover, I am not…” Chloe was flustered. 

“Even if you are not with Joseph, you are the only granddaughter–in–law I recognize!” 

“If you don’t accept it, I will throw it away!” Old Master saw that she was not willing to accept it, so he threatened her. 

“No, no! I will accept it, I will accept it. Thank you, grandpa!” Chloe grabbed his hand. 

“Hey! Good girl!” Rory put it on for her with satisfaction. 

Chloe was born with creamy skin, her jade–like hands even more lustrous under the contrast of this clear green, like snow and frost. 

Joseph had never before taken such a close look at her hands. Now that he did, he noticed how soft and smooth they were, without even a hint of luster outshined by the bracelet. It was truly beautiful. 

“Stinking brat, what did you give Raya for her birthday?” Rory asked in a bad mood. 

“Grandfather, Joseph… has already given me a gift. It’s an unforgettable gift.” 

Joseph secretly clenched his fists, his thin lips turning white. 

On her birthday, he did give her a ‘big present‘ – a divorce agreement. ‘Raya, you really have a lot of skills to ridicule me!‘ 

“Raya, is there really no room for negotiation between you and Joseph?” Rory was still unwilling to give up. 

“Grandpa… If you really love me, you should support me and let me live the life I want, don’t you agree?” Chloe gently held Rory’s aged hand. 

“Sigh! Since it’s already come to this, Grandpa can’t do anything to change it. All Grandpa can do is hope that you’ll wait until my 80th birthday is over before you go? It won’t take more than a few days.” Rory implored her to stay, not wanting her to leave. 

“Grandpa, this is not suitable.” Joseph frowned, his voice deep and decisive. 

“Why not? Do you think it is appropriate for you to bring Brown family’s daughter here to celebrate my birthday and force me to acknowledge her as my granddaughter–in–law?? Dream on!” 

“If you still want to recognize me as your grandfather and want me to live. two more years, just stay away from that Brown girl! Let me tell you, I will not accept her even if I die!” Rory slammed the bed angrily. 

Outside the door, Grace paced back and forth anxiously. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and stamped her feet. 

“Please don’t wander around, I’m feeling a bit dizzy.” 

Aubree rubbed her temples and shook her head. “You are too impatient. It’s not the first time you know what Old Master’s attitude towards you is. He has half of his body buried in the ground. How long can he hold Joseph back? You only need to firmly hold Joseph’s heart. That’s enough.” 

“Even so, if he doesn’t acknowledge my identity while he doesn’t die, I can’t marry Brother Joseph openly!” Grace quickly covered her mouth and looked around nervously. 

“Back then, Old Master refused to accept me, but so what? I still married your uncle in a glorious manner.” 

“The human heart is made of flesh,” Aubree said, raising her newly made beauty armor and admiring it. “In the end, Joseph is still his biological grandson. So, if Joseph insists on wanting you, do you still need to worry about it?” 

Grace thought that it was true, and her mood calmed down quite a bit. 

At this time, the ward door finally opened. 

Secretary Webb sent the young couple out. 

Grace quickly put away the scheme on her face and greeted them weakly. Suddenly, her pupils shrank! 

The jade bracelet on Chloe’s wrist was so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off it. It was many times better than the so–called family heirloom on her wrist! 

She hadn’t had it on just now, but when she came out, she already had it. If not for the old man who gave it to her, who else could it be? 

Grace was so jealous that she was beyond recognition. She suddenly had an evil plan in her heart, and when she walked in front of them, she 

suddenly pounced on Chloe. 

“Ah!” 

Grace originally wanted to pretend to sprain her ankle and plant it on her body, but then she took the opportunity to break her bracelet. Unexpectedly, Chloe narrowed her eyes and her graceful figure flashed. Grace fell directly in front of her and fell on the ground like a dog chewing on mud! 

Then, a crisp snap – 

The bracelet on Grace’s hand broke into two pieces!
