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

Chapter 299

When Patt heard this, his face turned from red to green.

Everyone: …

This Fourth Young Master was very arrogant and his attitude was very provocative!

There was a buzz among the guests.

“The relationship between these two young masters… isn’t harmonious?”

“Is this not harmonious? This must be cracked!”

“Fourth Young Master of Xavier family just said that this horse is his? Then Second Young Master used

his younger brother’s things. Did he not greet anyone?”

“This… is not too good?”

When the sounds of discussion reached Patt’s ears, he could not bear it any longer. He gritted his teeth

and said coldly, “Fourth Brother, it’s just a horse. Is there a need to say such things in front of so many

people?”

“As for.”

“If it’s just an ordinary horse, you can take it. I won’t argue with you.” Jerome’s beautiful eyebrows were

pressed together, and his voice was extremely cold.

“But what you touched was a gift that I wanted to give to Miss Thorp. Before Miss Thorp saw it, you

attacked first. Do you think this is appropriate?”

At this moment, Chloe’s excited gaze was still fixed on the Ferghana horse. When she suddenly heard

this, her watery eyes widened in shock!

“Second brother, I haven’t seen you for many years. Why are you becoming more and more vulgar?”

Jerome did not hide his mockery of him. Even if he was a brother, he would not leave him any face.

“When you was a child, didn’t father tell you that it was very rude to touch other people’s things without

their permission?”

Patt seemed to have been slapped hard by him, and his expression was gradually collapsing.

The guests he invited were harmless. The main reason was that Chloe was present, and this sense of

shame was bred hundreds of times more. It crackled in his blood vessels and ran/wildly!

“Since you want to give it to Miss Thorp, why do you tie it here? If you tie it here, I will admit that this is

Xavier family’s horse. I am Xavier family’s young master. Can’t I hold it?”

“Then if you tie here, does it mean that I can also lead you away?” Jerome adjusted his glasses, and

his lips twitched.

“You!”

Someone couldn’t hold back his laughter. Patt was so angry that his face turned red. He took half a

step forward and clenched his fists!

If not for the secretary beside him, he would have rushed up and grabbed Jerome by the collar!

“Jerome, it’s just a small matter. Don’t ruin your relationship because of this.”

“Let’s not disturb Second Young Master’s reception. Let’s go somewhere else,” Chloe said softly.

“Alright.”

Jerome responded softly. He went forward to hold the golden horse and left with Chloe under

everyone’s eyes.

At this moment, in everyone’s eyes, he was like a Prince on a white horse, strolling with his beloved

Princess under the moonlight of the stars.

Patt gnashed his teeth in hatred. He hated Jerome humiliating him in public. He hated him even more

for bringing Chloe to a night tour racecourse and dating openly. He completely treated him as a lump of

ammonia!

In the lounge.

Patt filled his chest with resentment, poured a glass of whiskey into his throat, and then smashed the

glass.

“Son of a bitch… It’s just an animal, what is there to be arrogant about!”

“Second Young Master, what he is mad about is not that he has a Ferghana horse, but that he has

sufficient reason to make you lose face in front of others.” The secretary said angrily.

“Do you mean that I gave him a chance to humiliate me?” Patt glared at him angrily.

“No, no, no! Don’t misunderstand me. I am just defending you! After all, you are the one who was

appointed by Director Xavier to marry Thorp family!” The secretary was so scared that she broke out in

cold sweat.

“I don’t need you to be angry for me. I only need you to think of a way for me!” Patt’s eyes were red in

frustration. His breathing was unstable and his hands began. to tremble.

Seeing this, the secretary hurriedly took a new glass and filled it with whiskey. Patt gulped it down

again. His breath gradually calmed down and his hands stopped shaking.

In front of people, a man who was full of nobility and spoke with dignity, who would have thought that

he would be a patient who needed to rely on alcohol to numb his nerves and could not control his

emotions?

“That guy made you uncomfortable. You should also make him uncomfortable.

09:27

At the very least, you can’t let him have such a happy and smooth date with Miss. Thorp.” The

secretary whispered.

Patt’s eyes lit up as if he had realized something. After pondering for a while, he hooked his finger at

the secretary.

“I have an idea. Go and get it done immediately.”

Joseph couldn’t get Chloe’s phone, and he couldn’t get her whereabouts from Oscar. He was so

anxious that his heart felt like it was burning.

Because of the excessive panic and uneasiness, he even had tinnitus and a chaotic. heartbeat. There

seemed to be countless mosquitoes buzzing in his ears.

“Mr. Sawle, Director Sawle has an important dinner party to inform you to rush over now. You have just

recovered from a serious illness and haven’t shown your face in public for a long time. Tonight’s party is

especially important for your first appearance after you have recovered.”

“You are the president, the heir chosen by Mr. Sawle. You must attend this occasion to prove that you

are safe and sound and stabilize the morale of the army.”

Joseph frowned and did not speak. He only stared at the dark phone screen in a

trance.

“Mr. Sawle, you can fall in love, but you can’t be blined by love.”

Max sighed helplessly. “I know that you are worried about Mrs. Sawle, but Mrs. Sawle is such an adult.

She has so many big brother-in-law to protect her and has the ability to protect herself. What can she

do?”

You were never such an irrational person in the past. A man should focus on his

career.

“Do you think it’s wrong for me to take her to heart?” Joseph furrowed his brows. “That’s not what I

meant…” Max choked.

“In the past, I was like a working machine that worked day and night. I had a wife, but I never took her

to heart. At that time, there was nothing more important than work in my eyes. In the past, I felt that if I

lost my position, I would have nothing.”

Joseph slowly closed her eyes. Her long eyelashes trembled sadly. “Later, after losing Chloe, I

understood. She left me and was not by my side. I really had nothing…”

No, it should be. Everything I have is meaningless.

So what if I stand higher?

It was a loss of love and taste.

“Mr. Sawle, how can you state such a thing?” asked Max with a heightened sense of

anxiety. “I remember vividly, you described the top as being cold. Yet, you

relentlessly endeavored to reach there. You claimed your motivation was the sheer necessity of power

to safeguard those around you. You sought to make a prominent name for yourself. It was more than

just that, you desired to justify your actions to your dead mother!”

Joseph’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Thinking of his mother’s tragic death, his heartache overwhelmed him, making him feel suffocated.

“Besides, you have to be hard at both hands. You only care about making Mrs. Sawle happy and don’t

care about your career. Then what if you end up worse than Mrs. Sawle in the future?”

Max pursed his lips, “You want to marry into her family? Being a son-in-law, you can’t even raise your

head…”

Joseph narrowed his eyes, his chest filled with frustration.

The words were rough, but they were not rough. Although they were unpleasant to hear, there was

nothing wrong with them.

“Prepare the car, we will set off now.”

“The Ferghana horse is known as the Ferrari among horses. It is the national treasure of Turtleman Si

Tan. I used to shout for my dad to give me one, but he was always afraid that I would get into an

accident on my horse. He did not want me to get too close to the horse.”

Using the light, Chloe stroked the fur of the pink gold horse with excitement. The meridians that were

stirred on her fingertips made her heart beat faster.

Suddenly, her tongue was dry, and what appeared in her mind was actually Joseph bare in front of her.

Her muscles were tight and her chest was wild.

The tips of Chloe’s fingers were numb, and her cheeks were hot and flushed.

That man,

when he had pressed her down and completely released himself, was also a wild and untamed fierce

horse…

“Chloe, do you like it? Chloe?”

“Ah.”

Chloe was stunned and quickly touched her hot cheeks. Her movements were very fast, and her eyes

were full of water. “I like it. Horses are my favorite animals.” Damn it, seeing a beautiful horse, how

could he think of that cur!

Jerome silently walked behind her, and her tall figure cast a beautiful silhouette to cover her.

He lowered his eyes and carefully stared at her jade-like profile. His eyes that were hidden under his

eyelashes rippled with a gentle light. “I remember that when you were a child, you told me that you

liked horses the most and became a horse athlete. It has always been your dream.”

“When I was a child, it was indeed my dream.”

“But now, it is no longer my dream. I also know that I am not suitable to be an athlete in all aspects.”

Chloe smiled faintly.

She did not dislike Jerome mentioning things when he was a child, even if there were some things that

she really could not remember.

However, she felt that the biggest difference between them was that she kept looking forward, and he

seemed to live in the past.

“Chloe, what is your dream now?” Jerome clenched his ten fingers, wanting to hug her several times.

His chest rose and fell, and his breathing was hot.

“Later, for a long time, I wanted to become an excellent doctor.”

She could not fight alongside him, but she could be his strong backing.

Every time, she hoped that he would return safely. She also hoped that if he was really injured, the

person who would bandage his wound would be her.

“Now… I don’t have any

dreams.”

Chloe’s heart felt numb, sour, and painful. Complicated emotions surged, and the only thing that floated

to her lips was a chuckle. “Right now, I just want to reap.” “Oh? Chloe, do you have Mind Reading?”

“We have the same wish.” Jerome gently curved his lips and chuckled in her ear.

“You’re a grown man. You’re too lacking in ambition.”

“You misunderstood me. I just hope that my wife will be able to live a carefree life in the future and only

be responsible for being as beautiful as a flower.” Jerome’s warm breath gushed into her ears, and the

ends of her eyes swept across a trace of lust. “As my woman, isn’t it right to reap without putting in

effort?”

Only a man with no ability would allow his woman to suffer hardships and be destitute and homeless.

Chloe took a deep breath, not knowing if she was overthinking things.

She always felt that Jerome’s gentle words hid a hidden meaning of mocking

someone.

Suddenly, an ear-splitting neigh came from the empty and quiet racecourse!

“Director Xavier! Miss Thorp! Be careful!”

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew over, kicking up sand and dust.

Chloe suddenly looked back, her pupils violently shaking!

He saw a black horse break through the fence and rush straight in their direction!
