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

The day of the birthday banquet for the two rich ladies had arrived.

The night before, Aubree was so excited that she did not fall asleep. She fantasized about the scene of

her being gorgeous at the banquet the next night, and she laughed when she thought about it.

Not only that, she also instructed people to edit footage from her previous performances, had

numerous stunning photos from her debut on TS’s stage photoshopped, and arranged to have them

displayed on a loop at her birthday banquet. The outcome was evident the next day; Aubree’s face was

pale and her eyes, bloodshot. Her large dark eyes seemed ready to plunge from her face. Bereft of

makeup, she resembled a scorned specter straight from an old port-themed movie!

In the end, she reached the milestone of 50 years. Age had transformed her skin, taking on a

weathered tint. She reminisced about days of yesteryears when she was younger, recalling an instance

where she had filmed continuously for three days and nights. Back then, her skin was lustrous and had

a healthy glow. But now, she had just braved a sleepless night. Her matured countenance was visibly

struggling with such strenuous events.

“Someone, please!” Aubree pleaded anxiously, pacing about the room. “Quickly, call my beautician to

come and assist me with my preparations. Hurry!”

She was like an irritable patient, breaking an expensive cup in a fit of anger.

Jake could not see this arrogant and violent look.

The servant waiting outside the door was so scared that she immediately ran away to invite someone.

Aubree looked at the mirror left and right, and her heart was full of anger!

Today, she and Sia celebrated their birthday on the same day and fought in the arena.

Despite not having seen Sia for many years, she still feta serse of intimidation. Even though she priced

herself on being

Jake’s wife, with a social status far surpassing that of Sia’s role as a concubine, she could not ignore

the fact that Sia was once revered as TS’s paramour, otherwise known as female leader. Hailed as the

national idol in the human world, Sia commanded a striking presence that often led to anxieties deep

within her. The fear lingered that she may never be able to surpass Sia.

“Mom! Mom!”

Skyler hurriedly ran in. Seeing Aubree’s ghostly appearance, she was stunned for a moment.

“What’s up!” Aubree was annoyed.

“I, I just called Grandpa again and confirmed it with him. He still said that he would not attend your

birthday party tonight…”

“What’s so strange about that? I never expected that old guy to appear from the beginning to the end.

Whether he comes or not, I will still call him!” Aubree sneered coldly. In front of her daughter, she did

not hide her hatred for Rory.

“But… but grandpa also asked me to tell you…”

“Like Joseph, he will go to Thorp family’s banquet…” Skyler bit the bullet and said.

“What?” Aubree was furious and her red eyes were about to split!

“He said that he received a video call from Director Thorp and Chloe last night and had a good chat

with them. Therefore, he decided to… find Director Thorp to catch up and have a few drinks…”

“Damn it!”

Aubree was so angry that her eyes were on fire, and her chest was so stuffy that it was about to

explode. She cleaned up the dressing table!

“Mommy! What should we do? Joseph and Grandpa are both going to attend the Thorp family’s

banquet, but they’re neglecting you, their own family member. Isn’t this deliberately humiliating you?! If

outsiders find out, where will you be able to hide your embarrassment?!”

Because Aubree supported Annie and Vincent together, Skyler had a belly full of resentment, and took

this opportunity to vent it all. “They don’t acknowledge your identity as the mistress of Sawle family in

their hearts. They think it’s embarrassing to attend your birthday party!”

“Don’t say anymore… Don’t say anymore!” Aubree was so angry that her heart was twitching and her

blood pressure was rising.

“Mom! What should we do now” Skyler looked anxious, but she was secretly gloating.

“Forget it! That old man is deliberately going against me. If I get angry because of this, my birthday

won’t be good. That would be exactly what the grandfather and grandson want.”

Aubree sat down on the sofa with a gloomy face and sat cross-legged. “In the end, the old man has

retired, and the group has only one son. Everything about him will be my husband. I don’t care about

the old man who is dying. Can he live longer

than me?”

At six o’clock in the evening.

An orderly line of upscale black vehicles were neatly stationed outside the mansion. Mr. Sawle, his

wife, and their two daughters were seated comfortably in a luxurious Lincoln Limousine. An entourage

of bodyguards in cars were providing the family protection, leading and following from all directions.

The considerable procession powerfully made its way towards the Sawle Group’s prestigious hotel.

In the car, Jake looked out of the window with an expressionless face. Her attitude toward Aubree was

not unusual. After all, today was her birthday.

It just made people feel that it was as cold as water and was not as hot as before.

The two sisters sat opposite their parents. Annie was still hunched over, hugging the bear that Chloe

gave her and giving her some comfort.

Skyler was wearing a set of the most expensive, latest clothing. Sitting next to Annie, her sister looked

like a delicate and pretty maid.

“Aiya, sister, today is Mommy’s important day. Why don’t you dress up and attend?”

Skyler had a fake smile on her face. She raised her hand to caress her sister’s silky hair, which was as

smooth as silk. In front of Jake, she acted like a sister. “Do you know how to dress up? Why don’t you

tell me? I’ll help you.”

Annie stiffened her back and pursed her lips.

“The hairstyle that your sister did for you previously was so beautiful, why didn’t you say earlier? Your

sister could have done another one for you today.” Skyler’s eyes held back a smirk.

Suddenly, there was a bang!

Annie actually raised her hand and opened Skyler’s hand!

Mr. Sawle and his wife were both stunned. They had never seen their little daughter lose her temper.

“Annie! You hurt me so much. What are you doing?” Skyler pretended to be wronged, as if she was the

victim.

“I… never wanted you to dress up for me. You forced me every time.”

Annie hugged the bear, her eyes red. She didn’t know where her courage came from, but she actually

dared to speak up against her!

When Jake heard this, he looked at Skyler with a puzzled gaze.

“You… What did you say?” Skyler’s pupils trembled and she was dumbstruck.

“Also, I hate that vegetable flower head… I hate it so much. In the future, don’t force me to do that

hairstyle again, okay?” Annie gritted her teeth. Every word was filled with resentment towards Skyler.

“Skyler, what is going on with what your sister said?” Jake asked with a serious expression.

“Oh, Dad!” “Sister is not an ordinary child. She often talks nonsense all of a sudden. You should know

that, right? I am also confused by her sudden words. I feel wronged!” Skyler said in a sweet voice and

began to pretend to be confused.

“Jake, tonight, Joseph… is really going to Thorp family? Is he really not coming over?” Aubree changed

the topic and` grabbed her husband’s arm.

“I don’t know.” Jake furrowed his brows.

“I don’t have any other intentions, but for the sake of the bigger picture, I still feel that I should let that

child come over.”

“If it’s Helena’s birthday, then Joseph can go over. After all, Second Madame is the daughter of King

family. It will be beneficial for us to build a good relationship in the future. On the surface, it will be more

respectable.”

“However, he went to celebrate Sia’s birthday. What was going on? Not to mention that Sia was from a

poor family and she had caused a scandal in the entertainment circle. If Joseph went to celebrate her

birthday, those media outlets would write nonsense again.”

As he spoke, Aubree’s eyes gradually darkened, “Moreover, Sia is the most unremarkable wife by

Director Thorp’s side. It would be a compliment to say that she is a wife. She is just Stefan’s legitimate

concubine.”

“With such an unclear identity, is she worthy to let our Sawle Group’s president take the initiative to

show his goodwill? It is too degrading.”

For some reason, the word “concubine” made Jake extremely uncomfortable in his heart, and it evoked

a trace of his memòries of Joseph’s mother.

“Previously, Sia was without a patron. Now, she has Stefan supporting her, and she is a changed

person. Furthermore, if unfortunate circumstances hadn’t risen in the past, she might have been

propelled to great heights, instead of being forced into a bleak predicament. Being reduced to the

status of Stefan’s third wife seems excessive.”

Aubree was startled and asked carefully, “Jake, did I say something wrong?”

“I heard that not only will Joseph go over, my father will also go over to meet Stefan for a chat.”

Jake looked ahead and said in a low voice, “Sia is not the only protagonist tonight. Did you ignore the

existence of Stefan? If the grandfather and grandson are willing to go, let them go. I am tired, and I am

not in the mood to care about the ways of the world.”

What exactly happened? Why did his attitude change?

Aubree choked with anger and could only respond with a dry smile.

At this moment, Annie found a comfortable position, and her little head was dozing off.

After all, during the days she spent with Brother Vincent, he had pestered her every night. If not for

kissing or hugging, there was no way for her to sleep well.

Skyler was so angry by her side that she trembled and her lips twitched. She wished she could peel off

her skin to tear apart her flesh and dry her blood!

Damned girl, do you think you’re amazing just because you have Vincent backing you up

The more I make you happy, the faster you die!

Although Aubree’s birthday banquet was held in a low profile, she still released the news to the media.

She believed that she was born to be in the spotlight, so how could she not pay attention to it?

Reporters who heard the news and came over lingered in the hotel.

Seeing Sawle family’s people walking towards the banquet hall surrounded by bodyguards, Aubree’s

lively appearance was really full of the rich and powerful.

“Madam Sawle!”

“Ms. Aubree!”

The reporters swarmed over and took photos of Sawle family’s people.

Jake was very unhappy in his heart, but he remained calm and faced the media with his wife, Aubree.

“Director Sawle, your wife is having a birthday party tonight. The whole family is here. Why don’t we

see Mr. Sawle?”

If there was nothing to talk about, then how could a reporter be considered a reporter?

“Joseph has something to do, cast a spell.” Jake smiled lightly.

“Today marks the birthdays of KS Group’s Chairman, Stefan’s wife, Sia. Ms. Aubree, your birthday was

originally due on Wednesday, but it was moved to Sunday. Did you purposely adjust it to coincide with

Sia’s celebration?”,

“You both were leading actresses from the same stage back in the day, and there were rumors that you

two were competitors, having a tense relationship. Has it been so many years and you two still haven’t

put the past differences behind you?”

“Oh! It turns out that today is also Sister Sia’s birthday. I don’t even know if you don’t tell me,

Aubree pretended to be surprised and covered her mouth with her hand, which was wearing a huge

diamond ring. “That was my negligence. I should have said ‘Happy Birthday’ to my sister. I chose today

because on Wednesdays, family members and guests are too busy to spare time.”

She said with a smile that she couldn’t help showing pride, “After all, we have invited many guests this

time. I also wanted to accommodate for everyone’s schedules, to allow them ample time to come and

join us.”

“Guests? Have the two of you invited so many guests?”

The reporters looked at each other. “We waited here two hours ago, but we didn’t see anyone coming?”

Aubree was suddenly shocked, “How could it be?”

She had clearly invited over a hundred guests half a month earlier, and those guests had basically

accepted their invitations. They had all agreed to come over!

How could there be no one here?

Aubree forced a smile, her nerves tensed up, and her heart beat like a drum.

“Alright, let’s go in first.” Jake urged in a deep voice.

–

The group walked to the entrance of the banquet hall, and the waiter opened the heavy door.

The next second, the appropriate smiles of Jake and Aubree suddenly froze on their faces.

Especially Aubree, her face instantly turned pale. She chewed her lower lip and almost shouted out in

impulse!

She saw that there were very few guests in the large and luxurious banquet hall!

The guests in her imagination were as numerous as the clouds, their clothes were fragrant, and their

hair was like the shadows… none of them existed!

Where were they?

Where did they go!
