Chapter 19
“Chloe… I feel like I’ve heard this name somewhere before.” Joseph pinched the space between his eyebrows and muttered to himself.
“I went to investigate this Miss Thorp again.”
Joseph thought that this money–losing secretary had finally been enlightened. He finally knew what he desired, so his eyes lit up.
“Tell me the result.”
“The result is that we didn’t find anything.” Max shrugged helplessly.
“Max, I think you can resign and settle the salary tomorrow.” Joseph’s eyes were cold.
“Mr. Sawle, calm down! It’s not that I don’t want to check, but that
President Thorp’s information is like a top–secret file. I really don’t have the strength to do it even if I want to!”
Max was so scared that his face turned blue. He wiped his sweat nervously. “Don’t you think it’s strange? Regarding Miss Thorp, I heard that she is the only daughter born by Director Thorp’s wife. She is a legitimate daughter of a rich and powerful family, but I can’t find any information about her on the Internet.”
“Anyway, I can’t find anything in all the social sharing software I can find. Is this big sister a little dragon girl living in the deep forest?”
“Do you have a photo of her? Let me take a look.”
“Ah, there is! It took a lot of effort to find it.”
Max took out his phone, pulled out the photo and placed it in front of Joseph. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
The man stared at it and was furious. “Max! Are you looking to die?” He saw that the old photos on the screen were blurred, and the little girl in Stefan’s arms was only four or five years old.
How could he know if it was her?
“Mr. Sawle, calm down! This is really the only photo of Miss Thorp in the whole network. It was twenty years ago at the funeral of Mrs. Thorp…” Max only felt that accompanying a king was like accompanying a tiger, and next time, he would have a constant short–term Heart–saving Pill.
Twenty years ago… it meant that Chloe was very young. She was only.
ZA Billion–Rich Woman Was Chased by Her Ex–Husband
twenty–four or twenty–five years old.
He was about the same age as Raya.
Joseph stared at the photo without blinking. The more he looked at it, the tighter his eyebrows furrowed.
Why did he feel that the little girl in the photo had a bit of Raya’s facial features?
Damn it! The marriage was already divorced, but he still had to think of his ex–wife from time to time. What kind of despicable act was this?
At this time, a servant’s voice came from outside the door.
“Second Young Master, the chairman invites you to see him. He has something to talk about.”
In the living room, Aubree nestled in Jake’s arms and sobbed delicately.
She was already in her forties, but she was still able to act like a spoiled child in her husband’s arms without any scruples, crying like a web drama.
“Jake… My sister is really pitiful. She married into the Brown family to aid her husband, and she gave her all. It wasn’t easy for her to live a good life for a few years, but now she encountered such a thing again…”
“At night, when she called me, her voice was hoarse from crying and she said that she had no face to see me. She didn’t want to embarrass us,
Sawle family…”
“How can this be shameful? We are going to be a family soon, so let’s not be formal.”
Jake placed his hand on Aubree’s shoulder and rubbed it. His voice was extremely gentle. “When Joseph comes over, let’s think of a way together.” All these years, Aubree relied on this act skills to drive away Joseph’s mother and successfully took over the throne, firmly holding onto Sawle family’s main ruler.
However, Jake liked this and couldn’t stop himself from wanting her.
“Dad, you were looking for me.”
Joseph walked over, his eyes cold and calm.
“Joseph, this time you must save Grace’s family!”
Aubree used a silk handkerchief to wipe her tears gracefully and said with
a choked voice, “Chairman Brown and Grace are not in good health. As soon as this happened, Grace fell ill without eating or drinking. If you love her and feel sorry for her, you have to find a way quickly!”
“Joseph, have you found out what happened?” Jake asked as he patted his wife.
“I found it. The one who revealed this news is a new general manager named Chloe.”
Joseph lowered his eyes and deliberately avoided the scene of the couple in front of him.
This kind of warmth, in his memory, Jake had never given them mother and son, and he was afraid that this man had long forgotten his mother’s appearance.
“KS… Sea Gate’s Thorp Group?”
Aubree covered her mouth and could not help but exclaim, “That is Sea Gate’s richest, how can my sister’s family provoke them?”
“Thorp Group and our Sawle family have never been in contact with each other since old age. Our ancestors had a deep grudge, and the Thorp family’s great–grandmother had made an oath that in the future, the Thorp family would never marry the Sawle family. If anyone disobeys, he will be expelled from the Thorp family, and he is not allowed to be recognized by his ancestors.”
Joseph originally did not care, because the person he wanted to marry was Grace, and not some Thorp family’s daughter.
But after hearing these words, a crack seemed to crack in the depths of his heart, and a chill rushed to the tip of his heart.
“Oh! So it seems the Thorp family noticed the Brown family was planning to wed us, so they covertly sought to indirectly stifle our Sawle family! It’s too cruel!” Aubree angrily twisted the silk handkerchief in her hand.
“Joseph, go see that Miss Thorp tomorrow. You must think of a way to stop her from attacking Brown Group. This is not only Brown Group’s problem, but also harming our Sawle family’s face!” Jake’s tone was very harsh.
“Oh, Jake, don’t be so harsh. Joseph has always been a child who listens to his parents. He is quick to understand this situation.” Aubree pinched her husband’s shoulder in a soft and gentle voice.
12:59.[
“I saved Brown Group entirely for the sake of Grace. It has nothing to do with others, Aunt Bell.”
Joseph’s peach blossom eyes were as cold as a deep pool. After he finished speaking, he turned and left.
Aubree was so angry that her face turned pale.
She was clearly the wife of Sawle Group, but this kid still called her Aunt Bell. It was really a great irony!
“Stop! Why do you still call me Aunt Bell? Aubree is my wife and your mother. Don’t you know how to be polite?” Jake suddenly got up and
asked angrily.
Joseph stopped, but did not turn around. “There can be several wives, but‘ there can only be one mother. You clearly understand in your heart, why force people to do things.”

Oscar came to look for Chloe tonight, and he inevitably mentioned Michal and Brown Group at dinner.
“Dad already knows your decision. He didn’t say anything. He only said that if the evidence is conclusive and the plot is true, he will pursue it to the end. He will not be forgiven easily.” Oscar helped his sister learn how to cut the steak at the heart.
“Stefan is such a person. When it comes to women, he can easily cut through the heart of the earth.” Chloe ate a piece of steak with blood vessels and squinted her eyes as she chewed.
“That’s why the three mothers are so loyal to him. Besides being a playboy, Dad has a good character. He didn’t treat any madam badly.”
“That’s right. Those who come later are proud of their success. Since ancient times, only new people smile. Who heard old people cry?” Chloe lowered her eyelashes and stabbed the fork into the steak.
Oscar said, “I know that you don’t hate the three ladies anymore. You just can’t untie the knot in your heart and feel unfair for our mother.”
“But Chloe, have you ever considered that perhaps our mother has stopped blaming our father for quite some time?”
“How could she not be resentful? She just gritted her teeth and endured it. In this world, how could there be a woman who could endure her husband having so many wives and concubines around? Her heart was filled with…”
13:00
Chloe stopped breathing.
Wasn’t she the same? She knew that Joseph had a dream girl in his heart, but she still fell in love with him. She was willing to sacrifice her heart for that man, but in the end, she only got a cruel abandonment.
Stefan was fickle in love, but he knew how to love people. But Joseph, he didn’t even look at her for three years. Not only that, but he also repeatedly stabbed her in the heart, using the heart of a villain to measure the heart of a gentleman.
She was really blind. She loved this heartless man for thirteen years!
“Joseph has been quiet these two days. He didn’t call me.” Oscar slowly took a sip of the red wine.
“Ah, because he is busy helping his dream girl’s family. How can he care about me?”
Chloe leisurely shook the goblet, her bright eyes swirling, and an awe–inspiring aura flashed across her face.
“Raya is too weak. This time, it will be Miss Thorp’s turn to meet him!”
