A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased

Chapter 14

Joseph brought Grace into the president’s office under the watchful eyes of the company.

As soon as he closed the door, Grace burst into tears and threw herself into the man’s arms, hugging his waist tightly.

“Brother Joseph, it’s good that you came to pick me up. I was really frightened just now…”

Joseph’s dark eyes were like thick ink that could not be melted. He raised his hands and placed them on Grace’s shoulders, slowly pushing her

away.

“Brother Joseph…” Grace looked confused.

“Why do you want to do this?” Joseph’s tone was cold and his gaze was very oppressive.

“What?”

“Find ‘Medo Daily‘ to expose the marriage news. Why?”

“Because I can’t wait to marry you. Does Brother Joseph not want to marry me?”

“Yes, but it is not appropriate to do so in such a manner.” Joseph’s expression was stern, no longer as gentle as before.

“How is it inappropriate? You and Raya have already divorced!”

“We haven’t finished the procedures with her, and we have promised grandfather that we will officially divorce after his 80th birthday.”

“Before that, she was still my wife in name. Now that you have exposed the news of our marriage, all three parties will be affected, and grandfather will be even more dissatisfied with you.” Joseph subconsciously flashed back.

He was a very straight man. He took the initiative to consider the and cons of everything. Since he was a child, his feelings had been flawed. His only gentleness was given to Grace, but the words he said were still a little hurtful.

However, he thought that they were childhood sweethearts and that Grace could understand him.

In the end, this woman could not grasp the main point at all. She was so angry that her eyes turned red. “Brother Joseph, did you see someone on

the Internet saying that Raya was a mistress? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you feel sorry for her?”

“I don’t have the heart to feel pain. It’s just that Raya is not a mistress. This matter should not have turned out like this.” Joseph pinched the space between his eyebrows with his fingertips, and his brain ached faintly.

“Why not? She is a mistress clearly!”

Grace was so angry that she stomped her feet. Her voice was sharp and thin, which made Joseph’s head hurt even more. “If not for her, I would have already been with you! It’s all her fault! She took my position by your side for three whole years!”

“It was Raya who became my wife for three years in name only to gain my grandfather’s concession. If not for her, it would be even more impossible for you and me to be together.”

After Joseph finished speaking, his heart actually fiercely twitched.

Yeah, if Raya hadn’t left him at the end of the three years, how could his grandfather have let him and Grace be together?

That woman would always greet him with a warm smile upon his return home, swiftly helping him change his clothes and warm up his bath water, taking care of everything without him having to worry.

She didn’t fight or argue, she didn’t cry or make a fuss. Even after signing the divorce agreement and leaving the Sawle family, she didn’t complain at all.

Even if Raya chose Oscar without turning back, she had done her duty as a wife for the past three years. On the contrary, he only treated her as a tool from the beginning to the end. He only hoped that three years would end as soon as possible so that he could be with the person he wanted.

If they talked about owing, no matter what, he owed her more.

“Brother Joseph, are you… speaking up for that woman now?” Grace was stunned. She felt that she couldn’t control this man’s thoughts.

“No, I’m just stating facts.”

At this time, the phone rang. Joseph took it out and saw that it was a call from his grandfather. His eyebrows were full of anxiety.

He opened the door and Max stood guard outside.

“Max, send more people to escort Miss Brown home.”

“Yes, Mr. Sawle.” Max made an “please” gesture to Grace.

“Brother Joseph! I don’t want to go back… I am so scared!” Grace’s eyes were wet with tears as she gripped his hand tightly.

“Don’t be afraid. Just make sure you don’t accept any media interviews these few days. I’ll deal with the rest.”

Joseph sent her out with a determined expression and closed the door. He endured his headache and picked up his grandfather’s call.

“Grandpa.”

“Joseph! How dare you break my promise? Are you so anxious to marry that vixen?”

“If you want to marry the daughter from the Brown family, I, Rory, will never acknowledge an unfilial grandson like you!” Rory shouted angrily.

“Grandpa, the news was fabricated by the media. It has nothing to do with me.”

“I think it was released by that Brown girl! She saw that you were not in a hurry to send the betrothal gifts, so she made such a move!”

“Grace didn’t do it. Don’t misunderstand her.”

Joseph’s headache intensified. He pulled the knot on his collar and slowly leaned against the wall to sit down on the sofa.

Because he lied to his grandfather who loved him the most, he felt so guilty that his throat felt bitter, but he had no other choice.

“I won’t allow you to marry Grace! I want you to reconcile with Raya!” Rory was too lazy to speak any more nonsense and directly ordered.

“Grandfather, this is what you promised me. Three years later, it will be my choice.”

Joseph’s forehead was covered in sweat and his breathing was unsteady. “I already have no chance with Raya. My future wife can only be Grace.”

“Excellent… excellent! You foolish fool, I, Rory, will wait until you lose Raya and sob and wish you were dead!”

After saying that, Old Master hung up the phone.

Joseph let out a muffled sigh, covered his head and walked to the desk. He hurriedly took out the painkillers to swallow.

After sending Grace back, Max happened to see this scene and hurriedly came over to help him.

“Mr. Sawle, how are you doing? Is your headache bothering you again?”

“It doesn’t matter.” Joseph slowly sat down and closed his eyes to rub his swollen temples.

“It’s not a good idea to rely on painkillers all the time. I recall that in the last three years, Young Madam gave you massages and acupuncture and your headaches were much better. Why are they coming back now?”

“If only Young Madam were here. Every time you were treated by her acupuncture, you would be able to sleep peacefully…” Max sighed in distress.

“Don’t mention her.” Joseph took a deep breath.

“By the way, Mr. Sawle, I’ve already sent someone to investigate the matter you arranged for me.” Max’s eyes flashed, and he hesitated to speak.

“Speak.”

“The two marketing accounts that divulged Young Madam’s gossip, and the individual who provided them with the drafts… was related to Miss Lewis.”

Joseph suddenly looked up, and his heart suddenly tightened. “Have you investigated it clearly? How is this possible?”

“Yes, yes, it was confirmed again and again.”

“Otherwise, why would everything be so coincidental?” Max said in a low voice, “The news of the marriage has just been released, and her gossip has ensued. It is obvious that it has been prepared for a long time.” Joseph froze for a while and then his tall body collapsed. A sense of powerlessness surged through his limbs and bones.

“Grace, how could she do this…”

He knew that Grace loved him and cared about him. He also knew that she did not like Raya, but she could not vent her anger in this way.

“Go and deal with it. No matter what method you use, before sunset, I want those gossip to disappear from the Internet!”

When Grace returned home, both Chairman Brown and his wife and Miller Brown were there. They were overjoyed to see her return!

“Aiya, sister! This move of yours is really too effective!”

Miller was so happy that he couldn’t close his mouth. “Once you

announce the news of your marriage with Mr. Sawle, our Brown Group’s predicament has been solved! Now, there are many hotels looking for us to order goods. This will make a lot of money!”

“My good daughter! This time, you are our whole family’s hero!” Chairman Brown also praised from the side.

Previously, when Thorp Group’s hotel suddenly retreated all the bed products of Ailey under the Brown Group and permanently canceled the cooperation, it caused the industry to question the Brown Group. Many hotels that had already placed orders also withdrew their orders. The Brown Group suffered heavy losses, and the father and son were anxious like ants on a hot pan.

Therefore, Grace thought of announcing the news of the marriage and saving their tottering business.

Sure enough, the results were remarkable. Relying on Sawle Group, this money tree, it was really a great source of wealth!

But Grace was not happy at all, her face collapsed, “Business can be saved, but do you know how much I have to pay? Brother Joseph has quarreled with me today, and that old man… I am afraid he

will hate me even more!”

“What are you scared of? How many years does that elderly man, Rory, have left before he passes away? Forget about him!”

Miller smiled wickedly, “When that elderly man passes away, Auntie will have Jake, and you’ll have Joseph – the entire Sawle family will be in our hands!”

“That’s right, Grace.”

“As long as Joseph loves you, Rory won’t be able to stop you from marrying into a wealthy family. Your aunt is the best example.” Madam Brown came over and stroked Grace’s hair.

Hearing this, Grace felt comforted and nodded confidently.

This time, no matter what, she had to marry into the Sawle family and become the enviable wife of the president!
