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

Chapter 195

There was only two weeks left before Ada Wang’s wedding.

Recently, Chloe had been extremely busy, constantly adjusting the wedding plan according to Ada

Wang’s ideas, personally supervising the scene layout, checking approval materials, funds, personnel,

and other important documents, all while getting only three hours of sleep each night.

She was happy as long as she had a purpose, and the busier she was, the more energetic she

became, making it all the more profitable.

After the team meeting in the morning, Chloe sat in the office at noon with a sandwich in her mouth and

a “keepsake” in her hand.

Jordan tapped on the door and entered, carrying her coffee. Upon seeing her tired yet adorable look,

he couldn’t help but grin and shake his head. “Young Miss, it’s not good for your tummy to eat while

you’re working.”

“No, I don’t have the time; I have to attend a fashion event this afternoon,” Chloe said, taking a bite of

her sandwich and keeping her gaze on the documents.

“Your agenda today is so packed I assumed you had a rare opportunity for some leisure time in the

afternoon, so I organized a spa for you to unwind…” Jordan’s heart was heavy.

“Let’s wait until Ada Wang’s wedding is done. I’m preoccupied with other matters at the moment, so I’m

not in the right frame of mind to unwind.”

“Have there been any developments from Skyler and Aubree in the last few days?” Chloe raised her

coffee cup and looked up sharply.

“I’ve been keeping track of the situation over there. It’s been quite peaceful. Nothing out of the ordinary

has happened.”

“After all, our side has been very close-knit lately. Could it be that they feel powerless and have

stopped fighting?” Jordan queried.

“I think it’s wise not to be complacent,” Chloe echoed Joseph’s words from earlier.

If Skyler hadn’t established a reputation for herself, how could she have been given this opportunity by

Joseph? How could she have passed up the chance to report to Jake?

A knock sounded at the door at that moment.

The administrative secretary, carrying an exquisite white gift box, entered the room.

“President Thorp, here is the dessert you requested me to bring from the kitchen. I have wrapped it up

as you asked.”

“It’s been tough for you. Place it on the coffee table.”

After the secretary had departed, Jordan strolled to the coffee table and opened the box. Inside, he

beheld a vivid and lifelike Awakening Lion Cake, reminding him of the young lady’s single-mindedness

when she had been preparing the snacks. A smile tugged at the corners of his lips.

Jordan, go and get ready. We’ll be leaving shortly.

Joseph returned to the office in the afternoon after having attended the meeting.

“Mr. Sawle, you received an invitation to the jewelry show this afternoon a week ago. Furthermore, Ada

Wang will be attending today. We won’t be…”

Before Max had finished speaking, Joseph refused without hesitation, saying, “No.”

“Um… Are you sure?”

Max blinked, “Our Sawle Group has just lost face because Ada Wang chose KS and not us. If we don’t

show up at this crucial moment, it will easily lead to a lot of speculation from the outside world.”

“Those reporters should stop fabricating lies. They said that we refused to participate because we were

resentful of KS WORLD for taking Ada Wang away. It should be said that we are principled.”

“Skyler will go; she is now the one responsible for Ada Wang’s mission.”

Joseph was still unmoved and sneered coldly, “Like attracts like. Skyler is always delighted to go to

such an animated place where fiends and phantoms congregate.”

“Ahem, I’ve just heard that Young Madam has arrived at the venue…”

The man’s usually gloomy eyes suddenly sparkled.

“Switch into something else and get the car ready”

Max secretly chuckled to himself, “Mr. Sawle is always on his best behaviour when in the presence of

Young Madam.”

This year, the top luxury jewelry brand AX held its show at the Medo International Exhibition Center.

Many big names and A-list celebrities from the domestic fashion industry graced the red carpet, which

was no less beautiful than the star-studded awards ceremony.

The most eye-catching of them all was the stunning appearance of international superstar, Ada Wang.

After all, not only was she the biggest star in the show, but also the brand image ambassador of AX in

Nialzuct.

Being the daughters of Medo and Skyler, it was only natural for them to receive invitations from other

minor celebrities with ease.

The two of them walked the red carpet, one after the other, their feet seemingly glued together with 502

strong glue. Flirting in front of the media, they caused the reporters to be irked.

Had it not been for the master of ceremonies’ repeated enthusiastic invitations, they would likely have

stayed rooted to the red carpet.

“Is that alright? Is there no rug in the house? It’s awkward to stay on the floor!”

“Not only that, they’re even lagging behind Ada Wang! They act like they’re so great! They’re so good

at putting on a show!”

“I didn’t snap a single shot. I don’t want people of no value to get their hands on my camera!”

“Skyler is the daughter of Sawle Group, and Zoey is supposedly Vincent’s younger sister. Although

they’re not well-known, they’re wealthy. I guess they paid for their place in the lineup!”

Skyler and Zoey, basking in the attention they had earned, entered the inner court with satisfaction.

In the end, they discovered that while media reporters were interviewing celebrities such as Ada Wang

and brand designers, no one was paying any attention to them.

“Dang it! Can’t these reporters see?!”

Seeing that she was being treated coldly, Skyler stamped her feet in anger, “How dare they disregard

us? They are like blind dogs! If they cross me, I’ll make sure they get a taste of their own medicine in

Medo’s media circle!”

“If you’re renowned, adept, and influential, then they’ll be like sharks sensing blood and will certainly

swarm around you.”

Zoey, seething with anger, could only mock Skyler to vent her frustration.

“Yes, yes… I’m not part of this group. After all, my mother doesn’t let me have anything to do with the

media. She said it’s too undignified for someone of our status to have too much contact with the lower

classes.”

Although Skyler had cooperated with Zoey, she was not a pushover who could be easily manipulated.

Therefore, she pretended to be harmless, but in fact, she was full of ridicule, “Zoey, you’re Medo’s

socialite and a top pianist disciple. No one’s here to interview you. Don’t you think that’s a bit much?”

“As your sister, I’m really mad on your behalf! Why don’t I get some reporters to come and interview

you and give you a makeover?”

་ ན,

“Ah, no need!” Zoey snorted coldly, her anger palpable. “I’m a laid-back kind of person. I can’t stand

being gawked at by reporters like I’m some kind of zoo animal!”

Rolling their eyes, the two scheming sisters turned away from each other in mutual disregard.

Footsteps, messy and loud, came from behind them at that moment.

“Look! It’s the Young Miss from Thorp family!”

“Wow! I didn’t spot her on the red carpet just now. I didn’t anticipate that she was already in the inner

court. She is really hard to find!”

“The Thorp family is really unassuming. Furthermore, she runs the wine shop like the sun in the

heavens and outshines Ada Wang. She is both beautiful and competent.”

“Unlike Miss Brown, who only knew how to spend money and was like a ‘carpetbagger’, there was

nothing else!”

Skyler and Zoey felt their cheeks burning as if they had been named and slapped in the face.

The reporters swarmed towards Chloe like a hive of bees.

Running too fast, Skyler and Zoey were fiercely bumped into, causing their small bodies to stagger and

nearly fall to the ground.

“Ah! Can’t you all see?!” Skyler finally managed to stop herself and bellowed in anger.

The group of reporters surrounding Zoey and Chloe trembled with anger, their faces flushed red as pig

liver!

“Miss Thorp! You’ve triumphed in this bid – how do you feel about besting Sawle Group and securing

the rights to host Ada Wang’s wedding?!” The reporter exclaimed.

“I am deeply humbled to have the opportunity to collaborate with Miss Ada Wang. I am grateful for her

faith in KS

WORLD.”

“Secondly, I want to emphasize that even though KS and Sawle Group have been vying for the same

opportunity, the fact that KS won doesn’t mean that Sawle Group has lost.”

“The Sawle Group Hotel has a longer history than our KS. It has always been a benchmark in the

industry. I hope that no one holds any preconceived notions about Sawle Group Hotel due to this. Don’t

think that this will have any impact on our relationship with KS Group and Sawle Group.”

Chloe was adept at self-reversal, but she grasped the concept of retreating when appropriate, and she

would never flaunt her superiority to invite animosity, nor would she take advantage of the situation to

denigrate Sawle Group, demonstrating her lack of civility.

“Wow… Miss Thorp is so charismatic! I’m totally smitten!”

“Indeed. Despite being the victor, she is neither arrogant nor hasty. Her personality is so endearing! I

had the impression. that she was a bit unsympathetic when she cut off her beard earlier, but now I don’t

think so at all!”

The people in the vicinity erupted into cheers for Chloe.

Zoey’s eyes were bloodshot with anger, her fists clenched and her body trembling.

Suddenly, she noticed that Chloe was wearing a pair of golden rose earrings, inlaid with rubies, and a

matching ruby necklace adorning her snow-white swan neck.

The pigeon blood was most costly variety of ruby!

Skyler gazed in a daze at the enormous ruby adorning Chloe’s neck, her throat tightening with envy.

Naturally, Zoey was also envious in her heart; however, her mind quickly turned and she immediately

spotted a detail!

Therefore, her eyes grew cold and she pondered something.
