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

Chapter 198

Axel escorted Chloe and Ada Wang to the lounge backstage, where they enjoyed champagne and conversation.

After chatting for a while, the manager approached Ada to invite her to an important interview.

Once she had gone, only Chloe and Axel remained in the lounge.

“It’s been three years since we last saw each other. How have you been? Alexa.”

Axel gazed at her tenderly, his eyes brimming with the affection of an elder, pure and untainted by the love between men and women.

“As you can see,” Chloe said, gesturing with her hands, “it’s all the same.” She smiled brightly.

“You’ve grown so much since three years ago. Your eyes have grown darker, as if you’ve seen the hardships of life. Where have you been for the past three years? Did you travel the world to find inspiration?” Axel noticed the sadness in her eyes and asked with concern.

“I didn’t go on a holiday. I went to the market to slaughter fish. I’ve been doing that for three years, and my heart’s no longer warm.” Chloe sighed, her eyes icy.

“You are as witty as ever.”

Axel clinked glasses with her and asked with a smile, “When are you gonna let the world know you’re Alexa? Such a dazzling identity should be shared, not kept in the shadows.”

“Let nature take its course, but I still have a lot of urgent things to do now. It is not bad to lose a vest, but it may attract unnecessary trouble at the moment.”

“Since you wish to reveal your identity,” Chloe narrowed her beautiful eyes, “you must make it valuable and meaningful. You must create the most impactful impression at the most opportune moment.”

“As expected of Alexa, the greatest benefit – you’ll never let yourself be at a disadvantage and do a business at a loss.”

Axel looked at her with a smile. “We’ve been pals for a long time, so don’t be so formal with me. If you ever run into any problems or difficult people, don’t forget to let me know.”

“This ain’t Puplen,” Chloe heard the hidden message in his words and responded nonchalantly. “The Duke’s power is hard to show.”

“Miss Anderson has always aspired to join AX. Initially, the audit department had her in their sights. However, it appears that she is not up to the mark to be a senior member of the AX brand today.”

Axel smiled widely. “Furthermore, just a few days ago, Madam Anderson from the Anderson Group and the Third Miss from the Xavier family were vying for me to attend their charity event.”

“I was initially undecided between the two options, but now it appears there’s no need to contemplate it further.”

“As long as the duke is content, I’m not concerned,” Chloe said nonchalantly.

The Young Miss said it didn’t matter, implying the other party could do this.

In short, anyone who dared to lay a finger on her, no matter their gender, age or status, would not have a good ending!

Axel and Chloe were about to watch the show, so he took her out of the lounge.

No sooner had they walked a short distance than a cold, magnetic voice pierced the air.
