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

Chapter 134

Medo First Hospital, in the emergency room.

Grace had received blood transfusion, yet she was still in peril.

According to the information, her face became so rigid that it was almost translucent when she was

sent to the hospital. The gash on her wrist was savage and profound.

Mr. Brown and his wife were in the corridor, accompanied by Jake and Skyler.

Willow was heartbroken naturally. She kept calling Grace and, in tears, called out several times.

“Alright, alright. You’re getting on in years, so you can’t afford to carry on like this… Besides, you’ll be a

laughingstock!” Chairman Brown said with a sorrowful look.

“A joke? At a time like this, when your daughter’s life hangs in the balance, all you can think about is

your own reputation? Do you have any compassion or not?”

“My son has already gonel I only have one daughter! If something were to happen to Grace, I wouldn’t

be able to go on living!” Willow grabbed her husband’s collar and kept pulling at it.

Her daughter was courting death due to a man, and her wife kept creating a commotion.

He was not as competent as Jake to begin with, so when he couldn’t comprehend the two women at

home, he felt embarrassed in front of everyone and, in a fit of rage, shoved Willow to the ground.

“You sure know how to make a scene! This is a hospital, not a marketplace. Do you still think you’re the

wife of the chairman?”

“You… you actually pushed me. Willow was so stunned that she couldn’t even shed a tear as she

crumpled to the ground.

“Auntie, Uncle, stop bickering! The most important thing is that Grace gets through this tough time, and

that’s more important than anything else!” Skyler rushed to Willow’s aid, but she was secretly scoffing

If her mother wasn’t still “sipping tea” un the prosecutor’s office, and her father had hauled her over to

help tidy up the chaos, she wouldn’t want to bother with this little brat.

Although she was here, she had to put on a full performance. Despite her joy, she could not show it

with laughter.

“In-laws! My daughter has become like this. Can you explain what happened?”

Chairman Brown had no outlet for his rage, so he could only express it by lashing out at Jake. “My

daughter has devoted the most formative years of her life to your son!”

“Word of the marriage has spread quickly. Everyone in Medo’s circle is aware that my daughter is

engaged to Mr. Sawle. Initially, he said he would do it after Old Master Sawle’s birthday. Your son and

that woman didn’t take the divorce lightly. We put up with it for Old Master Sawle’s sake.”

“Now that the Old Master’s birthday has passed and he has divorced, how can your son suddenly go

back on his promise? What kind of decent family’s daughter could endure such a thing? Isn’t this

pushing my daughter to the brink of death?!”

Gloomily filling his chest, Jake’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, leaving him at a loss for

words.

“We… Although we can’t compare to that Miss Thorp. Our family is large… and we can stretch across

the sky with just our hands! But we are also a respectable family. We have to stand up! Mr. Sawle

treating Grace like this is really too much!”

*Director Sawle, the Brown family won’t let this slide! If my daughter and Mr. Sawle part ways… We will

make sure the world knows! Don’t even think about it!”

She was aware that her daughter had taken her own life in an attempt to compel Joseph to wed her.

Joseph and Grace had been childhood sweethearts, and if the man still held a fondness for her, so he

would never sit back and do nothing!

No matter how the marriage was ultimately impacted, she had to maximize the benefits from Sawle

Group in order to save Brown Group from disaster. It was a profitable venture, no matter how she

looked at it!

Jake sighed repeatedly, his face creased with anxiety.

With Aubree’s matter becoming increasingly pressing, Sawle Group was planning to spread the rumor

that the president had abandoned his career and caused his fiancee’s death. This would result in

Sawle Group’s reputation taking a nosedive and the stock market being thrown into chaos once more.

At this juncture, he had no alternative but to assent. He determined and uttered, “Don’t fret, in-law.

When Grace awakens, you can inform her that I shall make the decision for her.”

“Her union with Joseph will remain unaffected by anyone. Everything will stay the same!”

Upon hearing this, the couple’s faces eased somewhat.

Willow, when thinking of the past, still had lingering fears, for Joseph had become very powerful in

Sawle Group, no longer the weak illegitimate child he once was Even if Jake wanted to help them,

Joseph might not be willing to comply.

At this moment, the sound of a series of footsteps echoed through the corridor.

Joseph’s handsome face was pale, as if he had been drenched in dye, as he walked towards them with

Max’s tail trailing behind him.

“Grace, how is she doing?”

Without waiting for Jake to reply, Willow hurriedly rushed over with her red, lantern-like eyes blazing

and fiercely seized Joseph’s clothes.

Joseph! How could my daughter have disappointed you?! Just look at what you’ve done! Are you trying

to drive her to her grave so you can reunite with your ex-wife?!”

“Mrs. Brown! Take a deep breath!” Max quickly stepped in and removed Willow from Joseph.

The commotion was so big that even though Sawle Group’s people were outside, onlookers still

couldn’t help but perk out to watch.

“Calm down?! I don’t know if my daughter is dead or alive. She wept for this unfeeling man… Her blood

has been spilled… Her life is in peril! How can I stay composed?!”

Willow gestured towards Joseph’s wan and ashen countenance and exclaimed, “Joseph! If you don’t

have any intention of marrying Grace, why did you deceive her and pledge to wed her?! How can you

renege on your commitment to matrimony?!”

“My daughter is so compassionate… When you attempted suicide back then, you were so close to

losing your life! Fortunately, my daughter discovered it in time and rescued you…”

“Grace has been so kind to you, how can you stand to hurt her like this! Has your conscience been

devoured by a canine?!”

Joseph abruptly experienced a severe pain in his head.

The dark childhood shadow stirred his chest, cramping it so much that he almost lost the ability to

breathe.

He tried his hardest to push the memories to the back of his mind, averting his gaze and cruelly staring

at him.

Jerome forcibly sent Chloe to the hospital for emergency treatment of her wound.

She forbade Jordan from accompanying her, instead requesting him to remain and look after Kiran so

that her sister would not be distressed when Kiran noticed her injury.

Jordan watched with a sour heart as his pitiful, soft and timid little sister kept crying and complaining to

herself along the

way.

Chloe absolutely could not burden herself psychologically.

Fortunately, she nimbly dodged back when attacked by the knife, avoiding any injury to her muscles or

bones, and the wound was not too deep.

When Chloe emerged from the treatment room, she had already applied medicine to her white and

slender arm, wrapped it with gauze, and inserted a needle to break the wind.

The coat she had on when she arrived was already damaged and so filthy that she couldn’t wear it at

all.

At the moment, she was elad in a thin, wine-red dress, her delicate and pretty face as white as snow,

her cheeks lightly dusted. with cherry powder, yet still breathtakingly beautiful.

Jersey lowered his gaze to her curly long eyelashes, and he secretly admired them.

He then removed his suit jacket and tenderly draped it over her shoulder. “It’s chilly out there. Wear it.

“No need,” Chloe said, her voice a bit shaky. “Im not cold.”

Jerome grabbed hold of the front of her suit with both hands, tightly embracing her body.

“That bandage on your arm is so over-the-top. Don’t you think your sister and secretary will be

concerned if they see you like that? You should wear it.”

Chloe pursed her lips and, hesitating in her heart, ultimately decided not to resist any longer.

He was so considerate and understanding that she could not refuse his actions.

“Sir, why did you show up there?”

“I also live in that villa area, Jerome lied. Despite the Xavier family’s project involving the villa area, he

was not fesiding

there.

“Oh? What a coincidence!” Her eyes sparkled and she refrained from asking more.

“It’s painful just to gaze upon your wound. You don’t even flinch. You truly are the mightiest girl I’ve ever

encountered,” Jerome shifted the conversation and gazed at her.

“Many girls are tough as nails. Sir, you’ll come across plenty of girls like me in the future.” Chloe smiled

politely.

Jerome’s lips curled up at the corners.

‘I don’t want to know anyone else; I just want to know you!

“Thank you for looking after me on this journey, but suddenly embracing a woman… Even though I

understand your intentions, I’m still not comfortable with being too close to someone I don’t know.”

Chloe spoke softly, but it was clear that she was not pleased with the Princess’ hug.

“Sorry, I was too worried when I saw that you were hurt.”

“In the future,” Jerome pushed up his glasses, his clear eyes filled with apology, “I’ll be aware of my

boundaries.”

Chloe smiled, he looked so sincere, she shouldn’t take it to heart.

“Oh, right, I still don’t know your name. Could you tell me?”

Jerome’s heart quivered with trepidation.

Suddenly, a cold, magnetic voice emanated from behind.

“Chloe.”
