Chapter 314
Old friend?
Everyone seemed to have been shaken by an earthquake. Their pupils trembled and they looked at Aubree in disbelief!
Including Jake and Anderson family.
However, there was only one person who was as calm as Chloe, and it was Joseph.
Because when Chloe began to suspect Aubree, he had already suspected Aubree. It was just that at that time, his head was seriously injured, and he had gone through the craniotomy of death. Then, Zoey came out to make trouble again, delaying his time to continue the investigation.
Tonight, Chloe came alone to find Aubree. He pulled her upstairs and indeed wanted to stop her.
He did not want her to get into trouble. If Aubree dared to find someone to sneak attack Sia in front of so many people, she could also do the dangerous action of coming and going to attack her!
He could help her do it, without the blood on her hands or mud on her
feet.
Everything was dirty, all evil, he could be her executioner. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
He admitted that he was angry, he blamed her, and even hated her for not trusting him.
But in the deepest part of his soul, he still loved her. This love made him. become extreme and no longer weighed the pros and cons. He only wanted her to be the center of his life.
“Aubree, Miss Thorp said that you and that criminal were old
acquaintances? Is that true?” Jake’s heart tightened, and he could not help but ask in a deep voice.
“Jake, are you questioning me?” “Chloe, an outsider, came over to question me for no reason. Are you going to step on me with her?” Aubree widened her eyes and poked her chest with her sharp fingers, her eyes full of sadness and grievance.
This reaction was a bit exaggerated, like a dog’s blood at eight.
At this time, Skyler, who had just woken up from her drunken stupor in the room, also walked out shakily.
13.11
She had also listened to the words her father had just asked her mother. Her heart beat like a drum in shock!
In her memory, her father had always loved her mother very much.
When her mother had repeatedly provoked Rory, her father, as her grandfather’s biological son, had also unconditionally protected her beloved wife and had almost fallen out with Old Master several times!
But this time, what was going on?
Chloe was just testing him, how could his father have doubts about his mother
“I have no intention of questioning you. You are thinking too much.” Jake frowned and clenched his fingers.
“Of course there is nothing! How can I know that kind of person!”
Aubree’s meticulous hair was soaked with sweat. She looked at Chloe with hatred, “Chloe, I know you hate me. We did have some unhappiness before, but I don’t care about it anymore!”
“Now that your family is in trouble, you have to find me! I am not an insurance company. Why do your family come to me for an explanation whenever something happens? Do you think I am easy to bully”
“Madam Sawle, are you anxious? I just asked if you are old acquaintances. I haven’t asked anything else. Why are you so anxious?” Chloe said with a smile.
“Could it be that you had a guilty conscience?”
“Chloe!”
Aubree was so angry that her tongue was smoking, and her eyeballs were popping out, “I’ll give you three points on account of the good
relationship between Director Thorp and my Old Master. Don’t be insatiable!”
“Shit!” Vincent’s eyes were directly red. If not for the elders of his family, he really wanted to rush up and tease Skyler.
“Aunt Bell, if you really think of yourself as Madam Sawle, you should pay attention to your attitude when you speak.” Joseph instantly clenched his fists, and his ink eyes were covered with a shocking haze.
You bastard! You’re just the gun that this cheap girl used to hit wherever she pointed!
In front of so many people, I’m still an elder, yet he dared to stab me in
front of me!
“Heh, it’s precisely because I’m Sawle family’s mistress that I have to properly educate this junior!”
“Chloe, this is Mazeland Manor, not your Thorp family’s Tong Garden! As the wife of the chairman of Sawle Group, as the mistress of Sawle family, how can I allow you to slander others here with false words” Aubree stared at Chloe fiercely, “Chloe, this is Mazeland Manor, not your Thorp family’s Tong Garden!” As the wife of the chairman of Sawle Group, as the mistress of Sawle family, how can I allow you to slander others with false words”
Joseph couldn’t take it anymore. His beautiful eyes turned red. Just as he -, was about to speak, Chloe took the initiative and said with a
contemptuous smile, “Mistress? Does this mistress of you, Old Master Sawle, recognize you?”
Everyone was shocked.
To dare to speak so wildly against Aubree, she was indeed Thorp family’s eldest and youngest daughter!
Skyler saw that her mother was so angry that her face turned red and then white, and she almost couldn’t stand steadily. She felt that this was no different from riding on their necks.
She wanted to run up and argue for her mother, but when she saw that Vincent and Joseph were present, they would definitely help Chloe unconditionally.
The one who made her most timid was Jake. He didn’t even speak to her mother, and she was full of hostility in a split second.
It was better to observe in the dark.
“Also, you have the face to boast that you are Sawle Group’s mistress here. It is just because Director Sawle dotes on you. As far as I know, no one in the entire Sawle Group or the entire upper circle of Medo really recognizes your identity as Madam of Sawle Group, right?”
Chloe placed her hands in the pocket of her suit and tilted her head slightly. She looked bright and arrogant, as if no one in the world could be her match. “If you want to talk about Sawle Group’s mistress, she should be the birth mother of Sawle family, Eliseo, and Director Sawle’s legal wife.”
Everyone: “!”
Aubree felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart, but before she could feel the pain, the First Miss ‘second sword stabbed over. “Otherwise, it should be Mr. Sawle’s mother, Madam Quinn.”
Quinn…
Mother…
Joseph pursed his thin lips and stared at Aubree’s pale face. His clenched fingers seemed to be about to pierce into the flesh in his palm.
His heart that was beating heavily seemed to be pulled out by a pair of cruel hands, squeezing and rubbing violently, as if it wanted to squeeze every drop of blood in his heart dry.
Back then, when he and his mother were brought back to Sawle family by Jake, his eldest brother’s mother, the first generation Madam Sawle and the daughter of Finch family, had just passed away for a year.
At that time, Finch family was like the sun in the sky in Medo. He was one of the six big families in the country. Moreover, Finch family and Sawle family had a deep cooperation in the business world. At that time, Sawle family did not dare to tear his face off with Finch family.
Therefore, when Madam Sawle’s father and brother heard that Jake was going to marry another woman and that woman had a low status. She also had a five-year-old son. They were furious. They
took back a dozen billion yuan of investment and interrupted the cooperation of three purposes. The two families broke up, and Sawle Group’s stock evaporated several hundred million yuan in one night.
Later, it was grandfather Rory who came out and personally negotiated with Finch family and his son to get a new cooperation.
The condition was that Jake could not take in new people in three years. That woman could only live in Sawle family as a servant. Her son could only be Sawle family’s illegitimate son and could not enter the family genealogy!
The last one, Rory denied it on the spot.
Even if Sawle family’s child was an illegitimate child, it was not Finch family’s turn to criticize him. Besides, his son cheated on his wife and hurt two women. The one who was in the wrong was also an adult. It had nothing to do with the child.
This was the reason why Joseph’s mother was still not promoted even though Madam Sawle had already passed away.
Because she had no status and was not recognized by Sawle Group, Joseph’s childhood and his youth had been through rumors and gossip all the time, living in an extremely humiliating way.
And two years later, the pregnant Aubree was openly brought back by Jake. The one in her stomach was Skyler.
Quinn was gentle and kind by nature, and such a pure woman was destined to be no match for Aubree.
In the end, this absurd and cruel battle for the position ended with the outbreak of Quinn’s depression and suicide by jumping off a building. The year his mother died, it happened to be the end of the three years’ wife that Finch family had set.
Aubree, glorious and successful, was promoted by Jake and replaced the position of his mother, becoming Jake’s wife.
“Joseph, don’t be sad. Your mother passed away, all of us felt bad.” “In the future, I will be your mother, and Skyler will be your sister.” “Alas, your mother is really a good person. Unfortunately, compared to me, she is a little less lucky. I hope she will not be tortured by illness when she comes there. I think she will not blame me for stealing her position, right?”
“She is so kind, she definitely won’t blame me.”
Joseph couldn’t forget what Aubree had said to him at his mother’s funeral.
Even though he was young, he could still feel the fake affection behind this woman’s friendly smile.
In a flash, twenty years had passed.
All these years, in the entire Sawle family, in the entire world, it seemed that only he had not forgotten his mother.
Now that he heard his mother’s name from Chloe, for some reason, Joseph’s eyes were red and he wanted to cry.
“Quinn… Quinn…”
Jake was in a trance and murmured the name of an old friend.
In front of her eyes, from the deep sea of memories, what gradually emerged was Quinn’s face that was as gentle as water, bright and beautiful as a painting.
The deepest and softest place in his heart was suddenly stabbed fiercely.
Aubree was the closest to Jake.
At this moment, she also heard him repeat the name that she had not heard for a long time. The woman that she hated so much, was so angry that her eyes were red, and she directly vented her anger on Chloe.
“Quinn… Quinn doesn’t live up to her name. She is just one of Jake’s former mistresses! Later, when she entered the house, she was just a servant of Sawle family. What kind of mistress is she”
“I am the only mistress of Sawle family! She is not qualified to talk to me!”
“Aubree! Enough!”
Jake seemed to have been affected by an emotional nerve that he thought had long been numb. He roared at her angrily and completely forgot that there was an outsider around. “Quinn is not a mistress and not a servant. And she is no longer here. You are not qualified to talk about her like this!”
“Why am I not qualified?”
“Is what I said wrong? She is a unpresentable mistress!” Aubree’s eyes widened like copper bells.
Before she finished her words, she suddenly felt a cold and gloomy air around her. It was like a bottomless abyss!
Aubree was stunned. She raised her eyes and saw that Joseph had already walked in front of her.
“You…”
All of a sudden, a crisp sound reverberated through the hall!
Everyone was shocked, including Chloe. They all opened their mouths in shock.
Joseph’s starry eyes were dark, and his thin lips were tightly shut like blades. He raised his hand and gave Aubree a hard slap!
“Wu-!”
Aubree’s cheeks immediately turned red and swollen, and blood leaked out from the corners of her lips. She was hit until her eardrums buzzed, and she saw stars!
She staggered back two steps, held the back of the sofa, and did not fall to the ground in a sorry state.
“Joseph…” Chloe’s pupils secretly contracted, and she could not help but sweat for this man.
