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

Chapter 253

Johan had always looked down on his “useless” younger brother.

He believed that all his brother did was serve women, like a eunuch, and had no ambitions or

achievements!

But he never expected that Stefan, a prominent figure in the Sea Gate social scene and the head of a

top financial conglomerate, would actually say that he regarded Jordan as his godson. This was akin to

standing on Jordan’s side, subtly supporting him!

What’s even more hateful was that just now, in front of everyone, he praised Jordan highly.

Wasn’t he using Jordan’s words to sarcastically insult him?

At this moment, the Thorp family siblings had different expressions. Chloe’s lips curved upwards, and

she couldn’t help but want to burst out laughing.

Stefan, you are indeed sly.

Johan probably never expected that tonight would be like a feast at Hongmen, especially prepared for

him.

“Director Thorp, you really overestimate my son!”

The Lin couple were pleasantly surprised. Jeremy felt both shocked and delighted, but he still shook his

head repeatedly. “My son can’t possibly be your godson!”

“This is inappropriate! Let him work diligently at KS, we don’t dare to have any other expectations!”

“Oh, Jeremy, we’ve known each other for many years, and I’m not trying to deceive you with flattery.

I’m just speaking from the heart. If Jordan weren’t a good kid, I wouldn’t have recognized him. Don’t

you agree?”

Stefan’s more he praised Jordan, the more he was indirectly criticizing Johan.

Under the table, Johan clutched his fists resentfully. His eyes were turning red!

He was about to make up an excuse to leave the table when Stefan suddenly spoke casually. “Chloe,

remember to tell your big brother when you see him in a couple of days.”

“What’s the matter, Dad?” Chloe supported her chin with her hand, asking playfully.

“A few days ago, he submitted a proposal to me for acquiring the Evergreen Capital Group. I’ve already

approved it. He can start the acquisition plan at any time.”

Johan: ?!

With a loud bang, Johan felt as if a thunderbolt had struck him on the head!

The Evergreen Capital Group was the largest shareholder behind his law firm!

If Stefan acquired Evergreen Capital, it would mean that he would have full control of his law firm!

So… So!

Gritting his teeth, Johan clenched his fists. He was filled with hatred, and cold sweat dripped down his

back and soaked through his suit.

He didn’t dare to look up at Stefan and Chloe, but he knew that their gazes at this moment were like

sharp knives, ready to dissect him from head to toe!

Stefan had invited their family over for dinner not to reminisce about old times but to send a strong

message.

He wanted to intimidate Johan, make him understand the consequences of going against his most

beloved daughter!

He wanted to show him the consequences of opposing his most precious child.

After dinner, the Stewart family didn’t leave immediately. They chatted in the living room in groups of

three or four. Chloe, finally meeting her two brothers, had so much to talk about. Riley was familiar with

Jevon, and the four of them felt comfortable together. They sat together, chatting and even played a

board game, “German Heart Attack.”

Just as Miss Thorp was enjoying herself, she accidentally knocked over a wine glass on the edge of

the table.

The deep red wine spilled over her, trickling down her fair, slender legs, staining even her small feet

red.

“I’ll clean it up, I’ll clean it up!” Riley rushed to find napkins.

“I’ll help too!” Marble also rushed around frantically looking for something to clean with.

“So… should I…?” After all, the atmosphere was heightened, wouldn’t it be inappropriate for Jevon not

to do something?

Just as three grown men were vying to serve the young lady, a tall, handsome figure arrived just in

time, kneeling down at

Chloe’s feet.

Chloe blinked in surprise, and her long lashes trembled.

Only to see Jordan quickly rushed to her side, pulling a handkerchief from his pocket. With his left

hand, he gently lifted her soft and fair foot, and with the right hand that held the handkerchief, he

patiently and tenderly wiped away the stain for her.

Chloe suddenly felt flustered, drawing her bright and tender foot back slightly.

But Jordan paid no heed and continued to attentively clean it.

His dedication and simplicity made it seem as if this act was nothing unusual, merely part of his job as

her secretary.

The people around them were all stunned.

And Kiran, who had been chatting with her mother, witnessed this scene. Her heart plummeted as if it

had fallen from a great height, and she felt an icy chill running through her.

Her clear eyes reddened, and she bit her lip. She could feel something inside her chest shattering,

causing her immense pain.

“Mom, I don’t feel well… I’m going to rest upstairs for a while.”

With that, Kiran lowered her head deeply, using her long hair to conceal her reddened eyes and made

a hasty escape.

“Kiran? Kiran!”

Sia called out to her daughter with concern, but the more she called, the faster Kiran fled.

Chloe noticed that Jordan had quickly finished wiping her foot and was about to move on to her calf.

Her heart raced, and she pulled her legs inward, abruptly standing up.

Jordan raised his head and gazed deeply at her, his eyes sparkling.

Chloe cast a faint, ironic look at the devout man before her and sighed softly, “Tonight, you are not my

secretary, you are the Third Young Master of the Stewart family. Even if you were my secretary, you

wouldn’t need to go to such lengths.”

“I’m going to freshen up.”

With that, she turned and left, leaving Jordan behind, under the watchful eyes of the onlookers.
