A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased by Her EX-Husband novel Chapter 253

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.
