A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased

Chapter 116

Helena was ready to brave the fierce lightning, provided her third and fourth sisters remained undetected.

“Then why didn’t you tell me?! The child doesn’t know, don’t you still know in your heart?”

“You’ve seen her grow up. Just look at her anguish in the flames – don’t you feel anything in your heart?!” Stefan roared with rage, like a blazing cauldron.

“My mistake, Stefan, it’s all my mistake.”

“Don’t fault Chloe; if you must point the finger, point it at me. I’m not concerned enough about Chloe,” Heleria slowly rose. The noblewoman of the King family could not bow any lower.

Chloe’s heart constricted. Before she could speak up to defend Helena, Freya, who had a short temper, abruptly rose from the couch and declared, “Stefan, don’t blame Second Sister. I’m to blame too!”

“I was already aware of Chloe’s marriage!”

“What?!” Stefan’s eyes were about to pop out of his head..

“And me…”

Sia meekly lifted her arm. I… I had already figured it out…”

“Sia! Even you… have picked up bad habits… You’ve been misled by them!” Stefan was perplexed. When had his little lotus learned to be duplicitous?

Chloe’s eyes warmed involuntarily.

Even if Stefan wanted to make things difficult, he would not be held accountable for the consequences to the public.

“Dad, take it easy. The three ladies are all looking out for you. The less you know, the healthy you are!” Riley quickly popped his head out and tried to make peace, bringing a delicate teacup in front of his elderly father, looking like a kicked puppy.

“Darn you!”

Stefan was usually elegant and profound, yet now he was so enraged that he was swearing like a mighty warlord, as if he could tear the roof off! NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“Wait, no! Don’t tell me even the two of you have…

Oscar and Riley glanced at each other and simultaneously coughed.

See! See!

This entire family were all actors!

In his eyes, they were behaving wildly, and he was the only one foolishly standing in the dark!

Stefan was an all-powerful force in the business world, playing the game of life with people for a lifetime, yet he never anticipated being played by his own family in the end.

He roared in anger, got up without a glance back, and stormed upstairs.

“Stefan, aren’t you eating?” Sia asked urgently, but there was no reply.

“Fourth sister, why don’t you go upstairs and try to talk to Stefan? You’re so gentle and he usually listens to you.” Helena sighed helplessly.

“I… I don’t dare take the risk. I’ll leave him some of his favorite dishes and then have them delivered to him.” Sia was aware that this was a serious situation, and she was scared.

“Stefan is usually in a foul temper and likes to remain in his treasure trove… Wow! Does that mean he?!*

Freya broke out in a cold sweat as soon as she finished speaking, and then heard Stefan’s scream from upstairs.

“Call the police! Call the police! The one-hundred-million-dollar yellow rosewood chair has disappeared!”

This dinner was finished amidst chickens and dogs jumping.

Had it not been for everyone’s insistence, Chloe felt that Stefan could have accomplished the peculiar task of driving through the night to Medo and requesting his grandfather to return the yellow rosewood chair.

As he grew older, Stefan’s character became increasingly perverse. In the ancient world, ordinary people were not hardened enough to find the good in things, so Stefan’s skin had thickened and his temper had become more volatile over the past two years.

No woman would likely be fond of the current Director Thorp, even if he offered payment.

In the evening. Chloe pulled Kiran close and said a lot of things. The two sisters hadn’t talked enough, so they decided to take a shower together, blow-dry their hair and skin, and then lay on the bed to scratch each other’s itchy flesh.

“By the way, sis.” Kiran said, resting her chin on her hands as she lay on the bed, “do you like the birthday present I gave you?”

“I absolutely adore it. I’m so pleased with it. Great, I hung it in the book room of my Medo villa. When I put it up, your brother Jordan saw it and thought it was a 3D printed photo of me! It was incredibly lifelike!”

“He wasn’t one to lavish praise on others, but that day he gave you a huge compliment.”

Chloe’s eyes were filled with adoration as she tenderly clasped her sister’s hand in her own. “Little sister, she said, “you should use those delicate hands of yours to apply for a loan. Why don’t I get you a high-end insurance policy for them? You are the pride of the Thorp family!”

“Sis, don’t give me so much credit. My embroidery isn’t nearly as good as Mom’s,” Kiran said, her cheeks blushing and forming two adorable dimples.

She was delighted to have Chloe’s approval.

She was even more delighted that Brother Jordan had praised her, so much so that she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight due to her excitement.

“Not only have you inherited Sia’s singing and dancing talents, but you’ve also been blessed with her skillful hands. In the future, I’ll introduce you to a top fashion designer. Together, you’ll bridge two worlds and I’ll make you famous. I’ll help you gradually make your way into the fashion industry. What do you think of that?”

“Thank you, sister, Kiran whispered in a low voice, without much confidence, but I… I want to go into the entertainment industry. After all, I’m studying at the Medo Film Academy. I hope to become an excellent actor after I graduate.”

Due to Sia’s former domineering status in the entertainment industry during her youth, her father strongly opposed her attending film school and entering the entertainment circle..

After more than half a year of studying under Stefan, she eventually dropped out of England and returned to Medo alone. Despite his reluctance, Stefan eventually acquiesced, but with an ultimatum: upon completion of her studies, she had to obey her family’s arrangements, or else she would no longer be able to claim that she was Stefan’s daughter.

In order to realize her dream, she had to establish a reputation in the entertainment industry and make her father reevaluate his career and her.

“So that’s your plan. Fantastic! You have a vision, and your sister will back you up with all her might!”

Chloe hugged Kiran’s shoulder, her eyes glistening with worries. “But there are so many negatives in the entertainment industry. You’re just starting out, and if you don’t have money or connections, no one will give you a chance. It’s impossible for you to get a decent opportunity.”

“When you go to the crew to try on a scene after graduation, don’t be polite; just write ‘My dad is Stefan’ on the data and I promise you’ll be free and unimpeded!”

“Sister, Dad hates it so much when I enter the entertainment industry. I don’t want to make him unhappy.”

“And, there’s no satisfaction in getting a chance like this. I don’t want to take the easy way out. I just want to put in the effort and demonstrate my decision with strength,” Kiran said, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

“Birds have wings and people have aspirations. It’s no surprise that you, our Thorp Group’s daughter, have such lofty ambitions!”

Chloe sighed softly and pinched her delicate little face. “I’m worried you’ll get the short end of the stick, sis.”

Kiran was good in every way, but her gentleness and reserve stemmed from her following Sia’s lead.

In this world of the entertainment industry, where the strong prey on the weak, she would be devoured.

“Sister,” Kiran pondered for a while before quietly inquiring. “May I pose a query?”

“Do you want to inquire about your ex-brother-in-law?”

“Yes,”

Kiran nodded vigorously, unable to hide her regret. “Why do you seek a divorce? Wasn’t your former brother-in-law treating you kindly?”

“There’s nothing wrong with it. We just don’t fit together, Chloe responded nonchalantly.

“Oh… my former brother-in-law is the president of Sawle Group. He must be very occupied and doesn’t have time to accompany you. He must have neglected you, which is why you two parted ways.”

“Why didn’t you surmise that he was having an affair, so I chose to end the marriage?” Chloe asked, frowning.

“That’s impossible,” Kiran dismissed, waving her hand.

-” “What do you mean?”

“Isn’t he scared of death, given his wealth? Hasn’t he spent his money?”

Chloe burst out laughing, her cruel character evidently stable even at home.

At that moment, her phone rang.

Chloe grabbed it and examined it. The name “Joseph” was so dazzling!

Her face darkening, with fear that Kiran would think too much, she quickly slipped on her velvet slippers and hurried to the small living room to answer the phone.

“What are you up to?”

“You responded swiftly this time,” Joseph said in a low, magnetic voice.

“Ah, then remember to give a five-star rating, dear,” Chloe said mockingly, not taking him seriously.

Joseph choked and murmured, “I’ll be let go tomorrow, so I’ll be back at Mazeland Manor.”

“Discharge tomorrow? So urgent, are you in a rush to be reborn?” Chloe sneered coldly.

“Don’t forget to make your way to Mazeland Manor tomorrow. I’ll be expecting you.”

no

“I haven’t got the time, and I can’t go back there. Don’t reach out to me again. I’m hanging up

“Don’t you still have a lot of stuff with me? Aren’t you going take it with you?” Joseph asked in a deep tone.
