A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased

Chapter 1 

Raya Lewis gazed at the divorce agreement laid out on the table, the man’s signature already affixed.

She looked up at the window again. In her wet eyes, Joseph Sawle’s tall and straight figure was as beautiful as a god under the afternoon sun. He was cold, proud, and strong. Even his back was so indifferent.

“I’ve signed it. You should hurry up as well. Before Grace comes back, I want to finish all the legal procedures with you.”

Joseph put his hands behind his back and did not look back. “Because the, property ownership certificate was made before marriage, it does not involve the property division. But as compensation, I will give you 20 million and a villa in the western suburbs.”

“Ultimately, you will leave the Sawle family with nothing. It’s not simple for me to inform Grandfather about this circumstance.”

Raya was struck by lightning, and her heart suddenly fell. “Grandfather… Does he know that you want to divorce me?”

“So what if he doesn’t know? Will it affect my decision?”

Her thin body was a little unsteady, and she just clung to the table and asked in a very soft voice with tears, “Joseph, can we… not divorce?”

Finally, Joseph turned around and sized her up with a strange gaze.

The man had thin lips, deep eyes, sharp eyebrows, and a clear outline of his face that made her heart beat faster.

“Why?”

“Because… I love you.”

“I love you. I still want to be your wife… even if you have no feelings for

me…”

“I’ve had enough, Raya. A marriage without love is torture for me every second.”

Joseph waved his hands and said, “It was a blunder that you wed me then. You were aware that I was at odds with my grandfather, and you knew that I had another person in my heart but couldn’t tie the knot with her at that point for a certain reason.”

“Now that three years have passed, Grace has returned from Nialzuct I will take her as my wife. So, you have to give up the position of Mrs.

A Billion–Rich Woman Was Chased by Her Ex–Husband

Sawle.”

Raya lowered her head. Her tears fell on the table and were then secretly wiped away by her.

Joseph, however, still saw it; his eyes darkening.

At this time, his phone rang. Seeing the name on the screen, he hurriedly answered.

“Grace, are you on the plane now?”

What a gentle tone. Was this really the same person as the cold man she knew?

“Brother Joseph, I have already arrived at Medo Airport.” Grace’s pleasant voice came from the other side.

“What? Don’t you want to wait until tonight…”

“I want to give Brother Joseph a surprise.”

“Wait for me, Grace. I’ll pick you up right now!”

With that, Joseph blew past Raya like a gust of wind.

The door of the study closed, and the air was filled with sadness.

For ten years, she had secretly loved him, and throughout the three years of marriage, she had worked hard to build a life together and loved him deeply. Yet, for him, it was nothing but torture.

Now, as if he had been released from prison, Joseph heartlessly

abandoned her and turned around to marry the dream girl that he had been longing for.

It really hurt. Even though her blood was running dry, she still couldn’t warm his heart.

Raya took a deep breath, shaking her head with a bitter smile as tears. streamed down her face, blurring Joseph’s name on the contract.

In the evening, Joseph took Grace back to Mazeland Manor.

The soft and gentle woman, who was as weak as the wind, was held in the arms of the second young master of the Sawle family. She walked into the villa openly, attracting everyone’s attention.

“Brother Joseph, you and sister–in–law have not divorced yet. We… should not be too close. Sister–in– law will blame me if she sees me.” Grace stroked the man’s chest and whispered softly.

“She won’t.”

Without second thoughts, Jeseph added, “Besides, I don’t love her. We’re just in a contract. She has to know her place.”

The Sawle family surrounded Grace like a bunch of stars surrounding the moon. Only Raya was cooking in the dining room.

Joseph caught a glimpse of his wife’s lonely figure in the midst of the liveliness and couldn’t help but sneer.

At this point, she was still trying to please the people of the Sawle family on her knees. Did she think that there would be a turning point if she behaved like this?

Laughable.

“Second Young Master! Second Young Master!”

After a while, the housekeeper ran over in a hurry, “Second Young Mistress has gone!”

“Gone? When?”

“Just, just now! Second Young Mistress did not take anything. She took off her apron and left through the back door! She was taken away by a black car!”

Joseph quickly returned to the bedroom, which was clean and tidy, except for a signed divorce agreement on the bed, with tears on it.

The man frowned and walked out of the window to look out.

A Rolls–Royce drove out of Mazeland Manor at an extremely fast speed. Soon, even the taillights could not be seen.

Wasn’t she reluctant to leave in the afternoon? Now, she was running away faster than a rabbit!

Joseph felt as if he had been set up by someone. He unhappily took out his phone and called the secretary.

“The license plate number is REJ–254. Check whose car it is!”

“Yes, Mr. Sawle.”

Five minutes later.

“Mr. Sawle, we found it. It’s the car of the president of the KS Group!”

KS… the eldest young master of the Thorp family?

Raya, the girl from the small village, with no money or background, had been with him for three years and even had no WhatsApp friend circle.

How could she possibly have the capacity to date the young master of the Thorp family?

More surprisingly, Young Master Thorp appeared to be a rebound guy!

“But Mr. Sawle, did you… really mention divorce to Madam today?” The secretary asked tentatively.

“Of course! Do you still want to keep her in our family for the New Year?” Joseph was furious.

“No… Today was Madam’s birthday.”

The man was stunned.

Oscar Thorp, the eldest young master of the Thorp family, tenderly held her hand in the back of the black Rolls–Royce.

“Your second brother heard that you were back and had already prepared millions of fireworks for you to liven things up tonight.” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“I really am not in the mood to watch fireworks.”

After turning back into the daughter of the Thorp family, she leaned on her big brother’s shoulder and sighed with tears in her eyes.

She glanced at Raya’s phone. The last message was not sent by her ex–husband, but by Grace.

[You stole my position; I’m sure it won’t be long before I make you admit it. Joseph is mine, so don’t even think about taking him away from me!] She smiled bitterly, and the last drop of tears made her realize.

“What? It’s already like this, and you still don’t want to let it go?” Oscar embraced his sister in his arms.

“Big brother, it’s my birthday today.”

“I know. Joseph selected today. He’s really a scoundrel who should be hit by lightning!”

“So, I have nothing to be reluctant about. Raya has already been killed by Joseph.”

When she opened her eyes again, Chloe Thorp’s almond–shaped eyes no longer had a trace of nostalgia for the man.

“It was not easy for me to reach this state. If I regret, I will die a horrible death.”
