Chapter 77
“Joseph! What do I have to do to make you let me go?”
Chloe was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. She gritted her teeth and asked angrily, “Do you know how rude you are to follow me like this? I didn’t say I wasn’t responsible for you being beaten up. I’ve already asked Secretary Stewart to talk to you. What are you going to do with me now?”
“Didn’t you want to be private? I’ll give you a chance to be private.”
“If you come out to see me, I won’t pursue the matter of your brother hitting me anymore. We’ll write it off.” Joseph took a deep breath and said with a trembling voice.
“You!” Chloe was so angry that she gasped. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
‘Is the guy who is unreasonable and unreasonable really Joseph? His brain must have been dug out!‘
“Alright, I’ll come visit you, but please keep your word and stick to the private agreement!”
After that, she angrily hung up the phone.
Just as Chloe left, Butler Tim called Helena to the side. “Ma’am, there are two A777 Maybachs parked outside our courtyard for a while now.”
“There are also two men in suits who have been standing by the car for a long time, staring at our house. Could they be dangerous people? Do you want me to activate the security alarm?”
Helena frowned and thought, “Don’t do anything for the time being, and don’t inform Mr. Thorp. I will deal with it.”
“Yes, Second Madame.” Butler Tim nodded and left.
Helena quickly pulled Sia and Freya into the corridor for an emergency meeting.
“Third Sister, Fourth Sister, there’s a big job tonight.”
“Big job?” Sia blinked her clear eyes, confused.
“Second Sister, hurry up and say it. Don’t keep us in suspense.” Freya was an impatient person and couldn’t wait to ask.
“That damned Joseph is here. He’s at our doorstep right now. He’s
probably looking for trouble with Chloe.” Helena lowered her voice, her
eyes cold.
“What? That heartless bastard actually dared to come to our house? Damn… I’ll go and kill him!”
Freya angrily rolled up her sleeves and turned to leave. Sia used all her strength to hold her back. “Fourth, Fourth Sister, don’t be impulsive! If you make a big noise, it will alarm Stefan. At that time, the secret will not be hidden!”
“That Sawle chap has shown up on our doorstep to bark. If I don’t break his legs, what are we waiting for?”
Freya’s eyes were red with resentment. “Back then, Chloe suffered a lot because of him. Now, he made Chloe become an abandoned woman at such a young age. She was forced to divorce without any dignity! How can our big sister be ruined by him like this? You can endure it, but I can’t!”
“We can’t either! But Fourth Sister, Chloe repeatedly told us not to interfere in this matter. You took care of Sawle guy for a while to vent your anger, but in the end, you added trouble to Chloe, making Chloe uncomfortable!”
“What Chloe wanted was not this endless entanglement. What she wanted was to cut things off quickly and cleanly, retreating from Sawle family and having nothing to do with Joseph anymore.” Helena pulled Freya back and said anxiously.
“Second Sister, but I don’t think Joseph looks like he wants to give up on
Chloe…”
Sia pursed her lips and said worriedly, “I have also inquired about Mr. Sawle’s character. He is very cold and heartless. Except for Miss Brown, he has never dated anyone before. His personality is like an iron wall.” “For such a person to specially drive from Medo to Sea Gate in order to see Chloe, I always feel that it is not something that he can do. So I think… Does he regret divorcing Chloe?”
“What Mr. Sawle? He’s just a bastard!”
Freya clenched her fists, “Not to mention that a heartless man like him. would never regret it. Even if he did, it would still be a late love that was worse than grass! Just looking at him would make one’s eyes burn!”
“Just now, I saw Chloe secretly leave the table. She should have gone to see Joseph.”

Helena was the most meticulous and thoughtful of the three ladies. She turned her light brown eyes and smiled.
“Third sister, stay at home and keep an eye on Stefan. Help Chloe cover up. Fourth sister, don’t you want to avenge Chloe? Tonight, I will let you win without spilling blood!”
It had just entered autumn, and the temperature had been cooling in the past two days. The wind at night was still quite strong.
Max shrank his shoulders coldly as he saw his boss standing tall and proud in the cold wind, like an iron sculpture that wouldn’t look back when he didn’t see the Young Madam, and he could only hold on.
He suddenly remembered an old song that seemed especially fitting for Mr. Sawle in that moment.

“To be blown by the cold wind for you —to shed tears when lonely
Joseph had indeed waited for a long time, but he could stand up. In the past, he stood in the army for a day, so a few hours was nothing at all.
He just kept his heart in his chest.
He was afraid that Raya would change her mind yet again and decline to come out to see her. What should he do? Should he break in? After all, this was the Thorp family’s place.
Moreover, what identity was he going to use to knock on Thorp family’s door?
He couldn’t find a reason.
Joseph’s crow like eyelashes trembled slightly. He felt suffocated and poured out the last cigarette in the cigarette box.
Just as he lit the cigarette between his thin lips, the footsteps of high heels came to him.
“Joseph.”
Joseph’s heart suddenly jumped. He lifted his eyes and looked at his expressionless ex–wife in front of him. Her eyebrows were as cold as a glacier. The cigarette in his mouth trembled. The cigarette ash was scattering.
Chloe lowered her eyes and quickly glanced at the feet of the man. Seeing that the ground was full of cigarette butts, she couldn’t help but frown, “Didn’t you quit smoking? What are you doing?”
10:59
“Because I’ve been waiting for too long.”
Joseph quickly crushed the cigarette butt and looked straight at her.
“Heh, you want to blame me again? If you want to blame someone, then blame it. In any case, you, Mr. Sawle, are the one who is most good at blaming others.” Chloe smiled mockingly.
“Raya.” Joseph clenched his knuckles, his voice hoarse from the smoke.
“I came to see you. You have achieved your goal. Please keep your word, Mr. Sawle. Don’t make trouble for my brother again.”
“I still have something to do. I have to go back immediately. Please pick up the cigarette butt here when you leave. Don’t dirty the civilized city of Sea Gate. Goodbye.”
Chloe’s beautiful face was as heavy as stagnant water. After she finished speaking mechanically, she turned and left.
Max shivered. He was frightened by such a cold and ruthless young lady.
The impression of the young lady was that she was such a gentle beauty. When she saw Mr. Sawle, she would always smile like a flower, gentle like water, and warm like a warm little sun.
But now, the only light that belonged to Mr. Sawle could not be seen.
What did Mr. Sawle do to force such a good woman into a cold beauty!
“Raya, stop right there.”
“I didn’t let you go. How can you leave?” Joseph gasped.
“Ridiculous. I didn’t sell myself to you. Why should I listen to you?”
Chloe narrowed her eyes and said in an extremely cold tone, “You were so happy when you divorced me. You were so eager to force me to give your dream girl a place for you.”
“Now that I know my place, I automatically disappear from your sight. What else do you want me to do?”
What an ear–piercing word!
Joseph’s breathing stopped abruptly, and his heart trembled.
In an instant, the feeling of shame and indignation turned into fine and dense pain that spread to his limbs and bones. The stabbing pain made him endlessly irritated, and his eyes turned red. “Before you married me, I made it very clear that we are a contractual marriage. I can’t give you a future.”

“I also gave you compensation when we divorced. It was you who didn’t want it and chose to leave with nothing!”
“Raya, I have never let you endure humiliation and never treated you poorly. Don’t make me look like an eternal sinner, and don’t make too much sacrifice for me like you did. Even if we can’t get along well, you shouldn’t repeatedly trample on and crush my self–esteem!”
“You don’t owe me, and I don’t owe you anything! You don’t have the qualifications to treat me like this!”
