A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased by Her EX-Husband novel Chapter 102

Chapter 102 

Oscar’s pupils shrank, and he quickly stood up to greet him. 

“Dad, why are you here?” 

Out of the corner of his eye, he couldn’t help but drift towards the stage in Chloe’s direction. 

“You can come, but I can’t? Oscar, why didn’t you tell me when you came? It would be great for us to come together.” 

“Old Master Sawle, long time no see. You have white hair and a youthful face. You are old and vigorous, and your spirit is getting better!” 

“Ouch! Stefan! Welcome!” Rory quickly stood up and shook hands with Stefan. 

Jake and his wife also stood up with the juniors. 

When Joseph saw that Director Thorp had arrived, he was puzzled and his handsome eyebrows slightly furrowed. 

He remembered that on the eve of the birthday banquet, he had checked the list of guests more than once. There was no name of Thorp Group and his son on it. Looking at his grandfather’s surprised reaction, it did not seem like he knew about this matter beforehand. 

It was highly possible that it was Jake who personally sent the invitation. 

But if it was Jake who invited him, then this matter could be a little strange. 

“I’ve just disembarked the plane and I’m late. To make up for it, I’ll have to treat myself to three drinks in your honour!” Stefan was suave and courteous. 

Joseph was stunned beyond words upon seeing the shadows of Oscar and Raya cast upon the noble man. 

He took a deep breath and felt that he was crazy. 

Raya, what right do you have to mess with my heart? 

Stefan and Rory talked and laughed warmly, completely unable to see the enmity between their ancestors. 

However, the relationship between Director Thorp and Director Sawle…. 

Only those unfamiliar with the situation could not discern its true nature. 

was very subtle. 

With an honored guest here, the chief juniors naturally could not sit. Therefore, Joseph and Vincent got up and prepared to sit at the back. The main guest seat was left for Stefan. 

“Grandfather, Vincent and I will go down first” Joseph bowed with a gentle expression and was well-mannered. 

“Aiyo, I haven’t seen Mr. Sawle and Mr. Anderson for many years. They are outstanding talents!” 

“Old Master Sawle, Stefan quickly sized up Joseph, ‘I heard your grandson is getting married?” 

When mentioning the marriage of his grandson, Rory’s expression changed slightly, and his smile also darkened. 

“Director Thorp, my son has already set a wedding date with Grace from the Brown Group – it’s next month. When the big day arrives, I’d be delighted if you could join us to witness the ceremony, Jake smiled and continued. 

“Brown Group? Never heard of it.” Stefan’s casual words made Jake and Aubree feel embarrassed. 

“Grace is my niece, and she is Joseph’s childhood sweetheart,” Aubree said, not daring to mention it further. Previously, when it came to low-quality furniture, Thorp Group and Brown Group had clashed, causing resentment.” 

She didn’t like the feeling of being looked down upon by Stefan, since Grace was her biological niece and if Grace lost face, 

so did she. 

“Oh, come on, Old Master Sawle, let me toast you!” 

Jake: “… 

Aubree:” 

In the end, Stefan completely forgot about Brown Group and did not care who Joseph married. It was just a small talk. 

Whoever he loved, it was acceptable so long as it was not his own daughter. 

His precious Chloe, humph, this kid Joseph is not worthy! 

On the stage. 

Chloe braced herself and, with a careless glance from Stefan, finished her performance. Just as she was about to thank the curtain, Stefan’s gaze fell upon herl 

God knew that her heart that had jumped to the point of collapsing was about to jump out of her mouth!

Fortunately, her thick makeup and the distance between them caused Stefan to not recognize her daughter for a moment, he only paused briefly before looking away. 

Chloe seized the chance to slip away from the stage as quickly as she could, her costume drenched in cold sweat. 

At the same time, she received a message from her big brother: 

[Chloe, Dad is here. Try not to show your face in the second half of the game. I will keep an eye on the situation in front of you. Contact me at any time.] 

[Yes, sir!] 

Stefan asked Rory, “That little girl who sang the Kun Song just now was pretty good where did you get her from?” 

“Haha… I didn’t invite her. She is my adopted granddaughter!” Rory said with a proud smile. 

“Oh! Not bad, not bad! To be able to make you recognize her as your granddaughter, she must be an exceptional person.” 

Joseph couldn’t help but look back, only to see the stage empty. 

It was unknown when Raya had left the stage, but his brows furrowed and his gaze was extremely complicated. 

On the other side, near the tea room. 

The maids hurriedly left, entered, and left. 

A few seconds later, a maid who had been bribed by Skyler looked around and sneaked in. 

Avoiding the camera, she took out the two bottles of knockout powder given to her by Skyler and poured champagne into each of the two cups. 

“One cup for Oscar, President Thorp, and the other… You must make sure that Young Master Anderson drink it, understand?” 

This was the order that Skyler had given her. 

Whether she could become rich or not depended on this! 

Because she was too nervous, the maid suddenly had the urge to pee and quickly ran out. 

At this time, a girl in a white cotton dress crept in. 

It was the fourth miss, Annie, who had not shown up at the birthday banquet. 

Her black grape-like bright and childish eyes looked left and right, and she quickly picked up a glass of champagne and gulped it down. 

The fourth young miss had a little hobby that no one else knew about. She was just craving for wine. She would often sneak into the wine cellar and the kitchen to steal wine when everyone was asleep. This time, she repeated the same trick again 

“Oh… Burp! It’s delicious!” Annie burped and licked her pink lips in satisfaction. Then she poured another cup and filled it up, quickly fleeing like a little squirrel. 

Since Stefan suddenly descended from the sky, Chloe no longer dared to appear in front of his grandfather. 

Joseph silently scanned the entire banquet hall, his eyes flickering with melancholy as the delicacies of the world filled the dining table, yet he had no appetite. 

“Come on, President Thorp, let me give you a toast!” 

Vincent raised his glass at Oscar, his phoenix eyes filled with thought-provoking emotions. “How great of a fate is it to be able to be together with such an outstanding woman like Raya? I hope that you can treat Raya well. Don’t let her be sad. You have to spoil her and love her.” 

Oscar narrowed his eyes and raised his glass to touch his. “I won’t let her be unhappy. I’ll pamper her and show her lots of 

love.”
