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

Chapter 212

After handling the matter concerning Annie, Chloe returned to the villa with Jordan.

As they continued on their way, she couldn’t stop replaying the scene where Joseph had tenderly wiped her hair. Her heart tightened, and her lips began to feel dry.

“I’m sorry, this is my first time doing something like this. I don’t have much experience…”

Nonsense.

You’ve been entangled with Grace for years. Even if you didn’t go all the way, you’ve probably done everything else. Don’t come in front of me acting like you’re inexperienced, pure, and innocent.

You and Vincent, these good buddies, I don’t know who’s the bad one. You two are a perfect match!

Back at home, Chloe kicked off her high heels. She didn’t rush upstairs to rest. Instead, she sat on the sofa with a gloomy expression.

Jordan prepared a cup of milk for her and handed it over with a concerned look. “Miss, it’s late in the night. After you’ve had this, you should go upstairs and rest.”

“How did Annie and Vincent run into each other tonight? Annie has always been closely watched by the Sawle family and rarely leaves the house. What happened?” Chloe, with no sleepiness in her eyes, was deeply concerned about the poor girl.

“I asked Vincent.” Jordan explained. “He said he didn’t know why Fourth Miss Sawle ended up at his venue. But he mentioned that Fourth Miss Sawle was anxiously searching for something throughout the whole place. If he hadn’t bumped into her, she might have been in danger tonight.”

Chloe furrowed her brows in confusion. “Searching for something? What was she looking for?”

“She said it was a teddy bear you gave her.”

Chloe took a sharp breath and clenched her fingers. “The teddy bear I gave to Annie, it was left at ACE?”

“I asked him if there were any abnormalities at ACE tonight, and he said there weren’t. But he unintentionally mentioned his sister, Second Miss Anderson.” Jordan, with his background as a lawyer, had a strong knack for getting information.

“Oh, I understand.”

Chloe said, her brows furrowing. Although she hadn’t witnessed it herself, the situation had become clear to her. “Skyler, you truly can’t change your ways!”

“Daring to bully my people, I see her as a lazy donkey unwilling to cooperate-owing a slap, a fallen duck egg-owing a hit, a weed at the door-owing a hug!”

Her sequence of idioms left Jordan stunned.

“I’ll make sure to avenge this for Annie!”

Vincent had been sent back home by Joseph, and it was already dawn when he arrived.

He lay in bed, closed his eyes, but his mind was filled with the mesmerizing scenes of passionate kissing with Annie.
