A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased

Chapter 3

Sea Gate’s Thorp family, Tong Garden.

In front of the ancient, deep courtyard, the Rolls–Royce steadily stopped in the middle of the red carpet. The second young master of Thorp family, Riley, personally greeted her and opened the door for his sister.

“Welcome back, Your Highness!”

Under the illumination of the lanterns, Chloe’s beautiful face was radiant. She gracefully changed into sharp high–heels in the car, and her regal demeanor made her seem like a queen.

“Second brother, are you all well?”

“Good, but not as good as when you finally come back. Are the fireworks good? My birthday gift has drawn the attention of the entire city, and it has been on the headlines!” Riley’s handsome face was full of enthusiasm.

“Yes, I saw it. It is rumored that the rich man paid a lot of money to pursue his girlfriend. He also said that you are a nouveau riche. Congratulations to second brother for unlocking new achievements in life!” Chloe clapped her hands with a bright smile on her face.

Riley ignored her teasing and sniffled, excitedly pulling the girl into his

arms.

“Chloe, you won’t leave this time, right?”

“I won’t leave. I’ve already been divorced, so why should I leave?”

Chloe patted her second brother’s back in relief. “Sigh, I feel like I’ve let everyone down. I’ve been trying my hardest for three years, giving it my all. Yet, I still couldn’t win a man’s heart. I’ve really failed. Open the door for me. I’ve failed so much.”

However, God knew that at this moment, her mood was like eating a raw bitter gourd, so bitter that she wanted to cry several times, but she forcefully endured it.

She swore that after leaving Sawle family’s door, she would no longer shed a single tear for Joseph, because it was not worth it!

“Bastard Sawle! How dare he betray my sister! I’ll investigate the Sawle Group tomorrow and have my fourth brother make time to assassinate

him!”

Chased by Her Ex–Husband

When Oscar heard this, he lowered his eyebrows and said, “Amen.”

“Second brother, don’t make a fuss! You are the people’s prosecutor and a public officer.”

Chloe smiled bitterly, “Can you learn a little peace and love from big brother?”

“Bullshit! Your big brother only became a Buddha after he laid down his butcher knife.”

“In short, I won’t let this go! He can bully me, but if he bullies my sister, their Sawle Group will always be within my attack range!”

Chloe held Oscar in her left hand and Riley in her right. The three siblings walked into the house, chatting and laughing.

Upon hearing that his daughter had returned, Stefan Thorp, the chairman of KS Group, could not conceal the joy on his face as he

excitedly paced around the study room, despite his dignified and serious demeanor.

“Stefan, I’m back!”

Chloe and her two brothers walked into the study room. She changed from her gentle and virtuous appearance when she was in the Sawle family. She directly lay down on the sofa and kicked her high heels away.

Oscar also sat down and naturally placed his younger sister’s delicate and fair feet on his knees to knead them.

“You can’t sit properly, can’t stand correctly! Where did you learn these uncouth manners? This is not a den of thieves!”

Stefan deliberately put on a stern face. He was really enemies with this daughter. Without her by his side, he wanted to see her. Yet when she was there, he just wanted her to get out.

“Are you having Alzheimer’s disease? Was this the first day I was like this?” Chloe’s eyelids rose to the wall, her heart trembling uncontrollably.

She saw the couplet she had written more than a decade ago, hanging on the wall, framed by the old man who had somehow unearthed it. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

[First line: Three wives and four concubines, thinking you’re an emperor, the Qing Dynasty ended early.]

[Second line: At seventy or eighty, unaware of health’s weight, dying from heart’s grip so deadly.]

[Horizontal: Don’t embarrass yourself. Thank you.]

This was the wedding gift Chloe had given to her father when Stefan got married for the third time in the past.

Now, the Thorp family had become a frequent topic of gossip among the people due to the old man having four wives.

Because Chloe was dissatisfied with this kind of family environment, she went to a foreign country early and became a doctor in a foreign country, helping the world to save people.

“After being wild for three years, you cursed your father for a serious illness. You are so considerate, my good daughter!” Stefan was so angry that he blew his nose and glared.

“Thank you for praising me, Daddy!” Chloe smiled sweetly.

“Dad, Chloe is back now. Some things should be put on the agenda.” Oscar assisted his sister in putting on her shoes and declared solemnly, “I have determined to relinquish the Presidency of KS Group to Chloe.” Chloe narrowed her eyes and stared at her big brother’s resolute and handsome side profile.

“You!” Stefan was so angry that he was at a loss for words.

“I only promised to take care of the group for three years. Now that the three–year period is over, I have to return to the church. You know, my ambition is not here. Being a priest is my lifelong wish.” At this moment, Oscar’s entire body was emitting a holy radiance, and his attitude did not allow others to interfere.

“If you don’t want to do it, then Riley will do it!” Stefan had no choice but to take a step back.

“No, no, no… I’m a public officer. I can’t have anything to do with the big consortium. Or else I have to be suspended for inspection!” Riley couldn’t avoid it in time and his face turned pale.

Stefan was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. So many sons. were useless? One by one, they were shining outside yet chickening out at home.

As for himself, his body was getting worse and worse every year, and he had already retired to the second line. However, in the entire family, there was no one who could inherit his business empire.

It was not that he did not acknowledge his daughter, but he stubbornly believed that the heir should be his son.

“Who said that a woman is inferior to a man? I will be the president!”

Chloe’s red lips curved up, and she proudly raised her chin.

“So what if you say yes? Do you think KS Group is child’s play? Can a little girl like you convince the public? Do you know how to do business?” Stefan’s aged face could not hide his anger and sadness, “And your

temperament is uncertain. You disappear at any time and run to Usmad for three years without a word.”

“Do you know how worried I am about you? How worried are your mothers? I thought you were blown to pieces by a bomb at the border!” Chloe’s heart ached, and her eyes were slightly red.

Even if she felt that her father owed her mother too much, and even if she had a grudge against her father, she still owed her father for not showing herself for three years after she married Joseph.

“Dad, Chloe doesn’t know less than me.”

“Do you remember the financial tsunami our Thorp Group experienced four years ago? Several effective group control measures were proposed by Chloe.”

“Two years ago, the Bradley Group bought the proposal, which was also made by Chloe through several nights.”

Stefan was surprised.

“Dad, you actually don’t understand little sister. Little sister is precisely the most patient and resourceful person in our family.”

“You have always been known for being good at using people, and you have a good reputation for valuing talents. Now that the talented person is right under your nose, why don’t you use her?”

Stefan pondered for a moment, then said in a dignified tone, “Alright, little girl, if you want to be a housekeeper, then I will train you for a bit. Just treat it as a birthday gift from your father!”

Chloe couldn’t help but straighten her posture, her almond eyes bright like stars.

“Take a few days off to rest. Then, report to Medo’s KS WORLD hotel next week. If you can turn the losses into profits within six months and make a fresh start there, I will consider appointing you as the president of KS!”

Coming out of the study, the hands of the eldest and second brothers fell

on Chloe’s shoulders at the same time.

“The heavens will bestow upon you a great burden of responsibility,” Oscar declared.

“But before that, the heavens will give you a mess to clean up first.” Riley sighed.

“I know that the old man is trying to make me retreat. Unfortunately, this move of his is not good for me. I am born with a spring. When the pressure comes, I will bounce back stronger.” Chloe clenched her fingers. The ambition that had been sleeping for three years was stirring.

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled.

“Good sister, brother’s lifelong freedom is handed to you.”
