Chapter 30
In the end, Jake swore in front of Old Master, that he would no longer interfere with Brown Group’s affairs. Only then did the storm pass.
After Mr. Sawle and his wife left with a sad face, Old Master looked at the mess on the ground with his eyes full of resentment.
“Our family is unfortunate, our family is unfortunate! Our Sawle Group’s men are all going to fall into the hands of Brown family, these women with ulterior motives!”
Joseph bent over to pick up the things on the ground, and his mind raced.
Could it be that someone had gone to Puplen’s meeting on behalf of Oscar?
However, it was impossible for his father to be mistaken. The two of them had fought many times in the business arena, so how could he not recognize his face? Unless he had a sign of dementia.
At this time, Joseph picked up a folding fan.
“Grandfather, is this your thing?”
“Sigh! Look at me… I’m so angry that I’m confused. Hurry up and bring it
to me.”
Rory’s gaze softened. “This fan was personally made for me by Raya. The surface of the fan even had words written on it. It was a drawing of mountains and rivers. It was all done by Raya.”
She could write calligraphy? She could even draw?
Joseph suddenly froze. For a moment, it was as if his soul had left his body, and he lost his reaction.
When the woman was by his side, she followed the rules and was dull and boring.

Compared to Grace, who could play the piano, dance, and sing, Raya really had no bright points. Except for her gentle and delicate face, she had no strength and was no different from the servants at home.
But how came after she left him, she was like a luminous pearl buried in the dust. Not only did she shine, she was full of confidence. The skills that he never knew before jumped out one by one like surprise and killed him unexpectedly.

She felt that he, Joseph, was not worthy of having these good things? And only Oscar was worthy?
Therefore, she didn’t really love him. She was just trying to curry favor with him as a wife.
Instead, she really loved Oscar, right?
“In the past, Raya would visit me every weekend. Sometimes, she would go out for a walk with me. Sometimes, she would just sit in the study room with me for an entire afternoon. That child wouldn’t find it annoying. She would just sit next to me and read and write calligraphy.” “Her skill in calligraphy and painting was not low, With a stroke of the brush, I could tell that she had at least ten years of foundation.” “When she wrote, she looked really handsome, waving ink and full of confidence. Her manner was not like that of a girl from a small family. She was clearly the daughter of a noble family from a scholarly family.” Rory pouted gloomily and sighed, “I don’t know how much better she is than the pretty Brown family girl. It’s a pity that you are blind and don’t know what’s good for you.”
Joseph pursed his thin lips and opened the folding fan.
Two lines of elegant and graceful words were reflected in his eyes –
‘If I could be a teenager again, I’d give one or two gold taels for every chance to be with her.’
Joseph’s chest trembled suddenly, as if he had been struck by lightning. His gaze swept back and forth between the two lines of words, his eyes almost glued to them.
From the tip of the brush to the charm, it was exactly the same as the word that Chloe had hung up in her office!
He suddenly remembered that he had met Raya at the hotel that Chloe was in charge of, and the footsteps of Raya in the corridor after leaving Chloe’s office that day. Could it be that she knew Chloe?
Could there be such a coincidence?
It couldn’t be that Chloe was Raya, right?
How could it be!
Raya would only be able to change hearts, how could she be as sinister and cunning as Chloe?

Oscar came back from a business trip and accompanied Riley to eat at home with his father.
During the meal, Oscar reported the progress of his work going to
Puplen. Stefan nodded after hearing it, and a trace of praise appeared on his cold and dignified face.
His eldest son was exemplary in all aspects, the only shortcoming was that he valued Jesus more than anyone else; no amount of wealth, prestige, or possessions could prevent him from becoming a priest.
Why was his addiction so big?
“Oscar. This time, you suddenly snatched the duck that Sawle Group wanted to talk about. This is not like your usual style of doing things.” Stefan drank a mouthful of red wine and thought about it. “Haven’t you always advocated using equality and harmony to solve the problem? How can you take it by chance? It’s a bit like your father when I was young.” “Peace is like a human body. It looks healthy, but it’s hard to say when you get sick.” Oscar gave a particularly philosophical answer and gracefully raised his glass to take a sip of water.
Riley secretly smiled. The big brother did this to vent his little sister’s anger!
“Business needs to be flexible. If you don’t break the law and commit crimes, you can do anything. You did well this time!”
Stefan patted Oscar’s shoulder. His gaze was sharp and excited. “Moreover, Jake and I are sworn enemies. His grandfather bullied your great–grandmother. Hmph, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years!”
Oscar: “…
Riley didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “My goodness, Old Thorp inherited it from his ancestors. He specializes in holding grudges for a hundred years!”
“Oh right, how has Chloe been with Medo recently? She made a move to kill Brown Group, but if she doesn’t handle it properly, I’m afraid she will attract resentment from others and cause trouble for herself.”
Stefan’s tone was calm, but there was concern in his eyes.
“I know, Dad.”
“Dad, don’t worry. If anyone dares to bully little sister, the four of us will make him die instantly!”
“No need to make him die. It’s better to live a horrible life than to die.” Stefan narrowed his eyes and calmly took another sip of wine.
After dinner, Stefan and Oscar left first.
When Riley was about to leave, he found that his brother had left his phone on the table.
At the same time, his phone vibrated.
On the screen, Joseph’s name was extremely eye–catching.
Riley put on a show and looked around for four weeks. Then he coughed lightly and picked up the phone.
“What’s the matter, Mr. Sawle?”
“I’m looking for Raya.” Joseph’s tone was so angry that it made Riley
angry.
“Joseph, are you seriously ill? What right do you have to let Raya answer your call?”
The other side was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked in a deep voice, “Are you Oscar?”
Riley felt that Joseph should have realized something, but he still said stubbornly, “Mr. Sawle, if you drink too much, you can call your fiancee to relieve your boredom. I have no time to talk about
sheepskin with you.”
“Oscar, if you want to vent your anger for Raya, you should use some open and aboveboard methods instead of secretly playing tricks and shooting arrows behind your back.” Joseph’s voice was cold to the bone, showing her strong desire to do so.
“Heh, Joseph, the world is bigger than your face!”
Riley was so angry that he clenched his teeth, “Don’t you know who used despicable means to splash Raya dirty water first?”
“If you wish to intercede on behalf of your fiancée’s family, then demonstrate a humble attitude of seeking assistance. Don’t consider yourself a pushover and attempt to construct a triumphal arch. It would be too undignified if you desire to maintain your reputation!”
On the other side, Joseph clenched his fists fiercely, and his cheeks seemed to be burning.
He, who had spoken frankly and confidently at countless peak meetings, was now choked by a senior prosecutor, Riley, and could not say a word. “But I can clearly tell you that even if you kneel down and beg me now, I will not let you off lightly.”
I will make all those who bully Raya pay a terrible price!
With that, Riley decisively ended the call.
Joseph sat in the study room and looked at the black screen. The veins on his forehead bulged and his fingertips almost crushed the screen.
“Mr. Sawle!” Max hurried in and saw that the boss‘ face was dark and his breathing was short.
“Speak!”
“According to your instructions, it turned out to be the five children born by Mrs. Lewis, the main wife of Thorp Group. Except for the eldest son, Oscar, for whom we could find a little information, the files of the other four members… All of them have been encrypted and can’t be accessed!”
Joseph suddenly lifted his eyes and his gloomy eyes fell on his face, murderous.
Max’s face was ashen, and his throat rolled. “How about… I go and settle the salary tomorrow, or…”
Chloe had just taken a bubble bath, put on a mask and put on a snow–white bathrobe. Like a noble little swan, she walked briskly downstairs to find wine to drink.
“Big sis, you can’t move. Just tell me what you want. I’ll help you get it.” Jordan hurried to greet her, his delicate eyes full of worry.
“It’s just going to the wine cellar to get a bottle of red wine. It’s already past nine o’clock, why are you still in a suit?”
Chloe looked at him and blinked her almond eyes. “In the future, when you come back here, just treat it as your own home. Don’t be restrained. Just change into your home clothes when you come back. I always feel like I’m working 24 hours a day at the sight of you. I’m too nervous.” There was another reason, which was that she would think of Joseph with him dressed like this.
It was embarrassing enough. After three years of marriage, she had never seen her husband’s body again except that night when she had seen the
man’s strong physique and proud ability.
Joseph was a pervert with high abstinence. When he returned to
Mazeland Manor, he rarely came out of the study. Except for going to the bathroom to take a bath, he settled everything in the study.
Only before he slept would he take off the elite shackles – suit, change into dark blue pajamas and go to bed to rest.
Elegant, noble, but gloomy enough to suffocate people.
However, only Chloe knew that the man’s cold and indifferent body was hiding a burning hot soul.
Otherwise, how could there be such a chaotic night, enough for her to remember the rain and clouds for the rest of her life.
“Eldest Young Lady? Eldest Young Lady?” Jordan tilted his head and called out to her.
“Ah?”
Chloe was stunned, her cheeks flushed and her clear eyes held a trace of watery light.
“Your face… is so red.”
