Chapter 184


    Ada was taken aback with excitement, rendered speechless!


    Almost everyone around her had begged for a jewelry design to be designed by Alexa, yet she still


    hadn’t gotten it.


    Chloe presented her with the brooch as a greeting gift, and her excitement was palpable!


    “No, no, no… I appreciate President Thorp’s kind gesture, but this gift is too valuable, I really can’t take


    it.” Ada was obviously delighted, yet she had to decline due to propriety.


    “This brooch onceforted my aching heart, but now, I have fully stepped out of the darkness of that


    life, and I will never make the same mistakes again.”


    Chloe smiled lightly, and her eyes were unwaveringly determined. “This gift is more of a beautiful wish.


    It once helped me out of a dark ce, so I hope this small thing will stay with you. I hope it will help you


    to get through everything in the future.”


    Joseph’s pupils contracted, and he felt as if a bullet had pierced his chest, leaving his heart numb with


    agony.


    Chloe ruthlessly smashed the secret joy on top of his head with a basin of cold water, cold enough to


    reach the bottom of his heart.


    “Oh! In that case, I’ll dly ept President Thorp’s gift. Much appreciated! I’m really fond of this


    present!”


    Ada held up the brooch that Chloe had once again blessed with divine value, with her mouth full of


    smiles?!


    Heavens, was this still the same cold international superstar? She had seriously been deformed!


    “Why?!”


    Skyler was livid and said to Aubree, “Mom, the Sawle Group put a lot of money into setting up this


    tform. Why should we let this Chloe character unt around here? Isn’t it just a worthless trinket?


    We, the Sawle Group, can afford it too!


    “You should think of a way to get this slut to scram!”


    “Think of a way? Why do I have to think of a way?”


    Aubree’s eyes darkened, and she curled her lips maliciously, “Chloe is a bringer of misfortune. She


    came here to give me a hard time. Just


    now, she used Ada to make fun of me. She was so arrogant, isn’t there someone who can avenge


    me?”


    Although Skyler was angry in her heart, she muttered under her breath.


    Before the divorce, Chloe was terrified of Joseph, like a frightened bird. Whenever he frowned, she


    would fret over it for days. Now that she was divorced, her aura waspletely liberated, and she had


    Joseph firmly in her grasp.


    Had Grace taken out this ability promptly, what could she have done?


    “Miss Chloe!”


    Zoey, finally boiling over with humiliation, took two steps forward to stand in front of Chloe and said with


    a false grin, “Can’y you give a present for Miss Ada at any other times? Why did you have to pick


    tonight, at the Sawle Group’s banquet, to do it?”


    “Isn’t this an excessive suspicion of stealing the host role?!”


    Joseph’s starry eyes suddenly dimmed when he saw Zoey take a step forward.


    “Taking the host role just because I’m presenting a gift? Miss Anderson, you’re underestimating Mr.


    Sawle’s capabilities.”


    “Besides, this is Sawle Group’s banquet. Mr. Sawle is standing here and observing everything. The


    proprietor hasn’t said anything, but Miss Anderson said this to me as a guest. Is this really necessary?”


    Zoey was so enraged that her eyes were zing, yet with so many people watching, she managed to


    maintain herposure!


    Chloe sighed faintly and said to Ada guiltily, “My Lady Ada, it appears that I’m not wanted here. I get it.


    After all, Sawle Group and our KS Group have always beenpetitors. My showing up like this is too


    sudden.”


    “Since my present has already been given, I won’t trouble everyone. I’ll take my leave now.”


    After she had finished speaking, she turned and walked away.


    “President Thorp, wait a minute!”


    Ada hastily shouted to Chloe and hastened to her side. “I’d like to converse about the Alexa jewelry


    with you, President Thorp. Are you avable this evening?”


    “Absolutely. KS WORLD has already prepared some delicious Medo dishes and a nice bottle of wine


    for you. Why don’t we catch up over dinner?”


    Everyone was taken aback!


    Miss Thorp’s family was so bold that she dared to openly rescue someone from Sawle Group’s trap.


    Joseph’s heart shrank as the anger that Chloe had set off rushed straight to his chest. He was just


    about to call out to Ada when he felt it.


    “Mr. Sawle.”


    Ada nced at him and gave an apologetic smile. “Unfortunately, I have an errand to run, so I must be


    off. Wishing you all a wonderful time!”


    Everyone was so shocked.


    She had said all she needed to with just that one sentence?


    She was just as the legends described: doing whatever she pleased and not easily served.


    “Mr. Sawle,” Chloe said with a forced smile, “I don’t mind getting another set of chopsticks for you.


    Would you like to join me at the banquet?” Despite her invitation, her eyescked any hint of joy.


    Joseph clenched his teeth tightly, his heart pounding against his ribs.


    Just as he was about to speak, the woman suddenlyughed. “There are so many people here tonight,


    I’m afraid Mr. doesn’t have a moment to spare. Let’s wait for the next time; there’ll be an opportunity


    then.”


    Sawle


    Under the watchful gaze of all present, Chloe and Ada Wang departed the banquet hall as if they had


    been old friends for many years.


    The hall was filled with a stifling silence.


    Joseph stared intently at Chloe’s delicate back, his chest filling with a blood aura that caused his peach


    blossom eyes to turn a slight shade of red.


    Thest time she was around, she had stolen his project.


    This time, she stole his popce.


    Chloe, how do you appear as a wealthy daughter who could rival a nation? You are certainly a robber


    who takes all by force!


    Very good, very good!


    -Joseph, without being aware of it, put his hand over his heart, yet he still felt hollow inside.


    Chloe felt as if something was trailing her, only to be snatched away.


    Many reporters were still gathered outside the hotel of Sawle Group.


    Logically, Ada had already checked in; thus, after the banquet, she would return to the presidential


    suite to rest, rendering it pointless for the reporters to remain here – they should have gone back long


    ago.


    However, the number of reporters present now was not much fewer than before the banquet started.


    If something urred, it would surely be a demon.


    Jordan invited the reporters back, promising that there would be big news!


    Some reporters were already growing impatient and voicing theirints at this moment.


    “What are we doing here on such a chilly day? What exciting news will there be tonight?”


    “I surmise it’s because KS is unwilling to surrender and desires to fight a bit.”


    “What can they do if they don’t give up? This ce is actually Medo, not Sea Gate. Haven’t you heard


    the saying: ‘A powerful dragon can’t/subdue a local snake”?”


    “Furthermore, Sawle Group was a local dragon. A foreign dragon like KS would certainly not ept


    water and earth. Moreover, Chloe was a woman. How could shepete with the wise and powerful


    Mr. Sawle?”


    “Tsk, there’s nothing wrong with it! Even though Mr. Sawle is not very emotionally intelligent, he is a


    real whiz when ites to business. KS is just a passing fad. There’s no chance of it seeding!”


    An ear-piercing sound of a car suddenly rang out, startling everyone!


    The reporters, surprised, looked towards the big lights and saw a dark green, top-ss Rolls-Royce


    with the logo of a crystal goddess slowly rolling up to the hotel’s main entrance anding to a stop.


    Everyone gazed at the imposing car, assuming that another celebrity must be inside. Undeterred by the


    potential repercussions, they hastened to the luxurious vehicle and snapped photos.


    When the car door opened, out stepped Jordan, dapperly dressed in a suit. The sh of cameras


    suddenly ceased, leaving the


    reporters looking disappointed.


    Although this man was handsome, his looks alone could not make the headlines!


    “Ah! It’s Ada Wang!”


    Someone in the crowd shouted, drawing the reporters’ eyes back to the hotel’s front door.


    Jordan had already opened the back door, his gentle gaze fixed in the same direction as everyone


    else.


    Chloe and Ada, side by side, stepped into the crowd’s view, and the shes of cameras reached a


    fever pitch! “What?! Ada Wang left Sawle Group’s cocktail party and was taken away by Chloe?!”


    “It hasn’t even begun and his visitor has already been stopped. Where is Mr. Sawle going to show his


    face?”


    “Oh my goodness! This is a huge headline! The confrontation between Sawle Group and KS is really


    intriguing. Quick, take the shot!”


    The shlights were so bright it was like daytime. Tonight, Chloe was the center of attention for the


    Sawle Group.


    At this moment, the topic of twitter’s hot search also silently moved from #Ada Wang into Sawle Group


    Hotel#.


    It turned into #Chloe, Ada Wang#.


    Just as Chloe was about to get into the car, protected by Jordan, a reporter sharply asked.


    “Miss Thorp! Did you really take away Mr. Sawle’s esteemed visitor right in front of everyone? Is this


    something you did? Isn’t that a bit extreme?!”


    Chloe paused, her beautiful eyes suddenly lifting, her sharp gaze instantly shocking the reporter who


    had been attempting to provoke her.


    Her skin was soft, yet her soul was iparably sharp!


    “Could it be that I’m not able to take Miss Ada out for a meal simply because she stayed at Sawle


    Group’s hotel?”


    With a smile in her almond eyes, she ced the tall hat atop Joseph’s head. “Mr. Sawle is a generous


    person, yet he doesn’t utter a word. Everyone is specting here, doesn’t that imply that Mr. Sawle is


    quite petty?”
