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

Chapter 188

“Mom! What did I say? I stated that the connection between them is not straightforward! Annie just

wants to mess up my great thing!”

Skyler saw that Vincent had transformed Annie’s dress into a luxurious red evening gown. Despite the

fact that Annie’s face remained cold and bare of makeup, she still radiated. Jealousy and rage burned

in her heart.

What made it even more hateful was that the color of her dress matched Vincent’s – they were both

wine-red, like a couple!

Standing side by side in the dazzling light, like a newlywed couple, they became the focus of the

audience.

Skyler felt that the purple dress she was wearing had become a huge irony.

Red and purple, it was all just a pile of shit in the end!

“Annie was birthed from my womb. I’m well aware of her character!”

Aubree’s thoughts were not as superficial as Skyler’s, but more profound. “Although Annie is twenty-

two years old, her thoughts and behavior are like that of a young preteen. She hasn’t even begun to

comprehend love, let alone possess the courage to take a man away from you?”

Upon hearing this, Skyler’s anger abated somewhat, yet she remained livid.

“In

my estimation, this situation is far more complex than you realize. Vincent was aloof towards you

before. After Rory’s birthday celebration, he now believes that you are scheming against him. It’s

possible that he has already started to harbor ill feelings towards you.”

“He’s aware that Annie is your sister, and he deliberately sought her out. Perhaps it’s to distract you, so

he’s trying to provoke you.”

“What… what…”

Hearing this, Skyler’s eyes grew dim. “So, what do we do now? Mom… Is there no chance I can still

marry Young Master Anderson?”

“Right now, there’s no need to be worried. Not only do you need to collaborate with Zoey and let her

assist you in creating a chance to get closer to Vincent, but you must also alter your demeanor and

stay composed.”

“Since Vincent is kind to Annie, then you must show him more respect, alter Vincent’s opinion of you,

and let him witness your lovely and benevolent side. Do you understand me?,” Aubree said in a

somber tone, devising a plan for her daughter.

“I heard it…” Skyler could only respond in a hushed tone.

Annie’s eyes were wide with excitement as she searched the room, hoping to catch a glimpse of her

idol, Ada Wang.

When her gaze stopped on the stage and saw Zoey playing the piano, her pupils suddenly contracted

and her little face instantly drained of color, gradually withering like withered flower petals.

A pair of slender legs trembled violently beneath the red dress.

When she was young, countless painful memories flooded in from all directions like a ravenous beast,

devouring her desperately.

“Hahaha… Who would be pals with someone as foolish as you? What on earth were you thinking?!”

“Chuck her in the trash can! That’s where the

belongs!”

“Hurry up and chop off her locks! I can’t.

that there

are girls in the school with better hair than me!”

“It’s no surprise that Director Sawle and Madam Sawle don’t have any fondness for you. Your sister

also despises you. Someone as foolish as you is not worthy of being a daughter of the Sawle Group.

You bring disgrace to the entire Sawle Group!”

She was a disgraceful sight!

Focused on playing the piano, Zoey was oblivious to the gaze of fear and hatred emanating from below

the stage, filled with blood.

Annie hugged the bear tightly, her eyes red, a cold sweat sliding down her forehead as she retreated.

Vincent suddenly grabbed her arm.

“Sis of vegetable flower, what’s the matter? Are you feeling regretful? Didn’t you say you wanted to go

see Ada Wang for an autograph? Come on, Brother Anderson will take you to see her.”

Annie, unexpectedly, shook off her hand and, without looking back, ran out of the door.

“Sister of vegetable flower! Where are you headed?!”

Vincent was stunned and panicked, fearing danger if she ran out at night, so he followed her.

Skyler, upon seeing this, was so enraged that she felt as if she were about to be born anew.

Although Aubree managed to calm her down, she still despised this fool when she saw that Vincent

was deeply concerned about Annie; she could no longer tolerate it.

Annie’s fear-filled mind drove her to desperately ru dashed across the road.

out of the hotel, tears streaming from her eyes as she frantically

Although she really wanted to see Ada Wang, she had nonetheless locked herself in her room to watch

movies on countless lonely nights.

Ada’s performance in the action movie was something that she really enjoyed. She portrayed a super

policewoman who could do anything, balancing justice and punishing evil, stirring her heart and boiling

her blood as if she had achieved a great ambition.

Upon seeing Zoey, all she wanted to do was flee, as far away as possible.

No one loved her, a burden to all, and she was so fragile that even the slightest blow would break her.

Cursing and mocking were like evil spirits from hell, maliciously chasing after Annie.

Beep, beep, beep -!

The rapid car’s sound pierced the air.

A dazzling big light struck her not far away.

She abruptly swiveled her head, her face paling in the light!

Yet, there she stood, rooted to the spot, unable to move.

Annie, in panic, tightly held the bear and closed her eyes as the speeding truck was too late to step on

the brakes.

“Annie! Be careful!”

At the critical juncture, Vincent, who had been trailing her, clenched his teeth and dashed forward. In

the nick of time, he embraced the girl’s slender and delicate body firmly in his arms.

Just as she safeguarded the little bear with all her heart and soul, he too protected her with the same

intensity.

Vincent then spun-in the air, transforming into a human cushion, and the two of them crashed to the

ground with a thud.

As his shoulder brushed against the roadside stone, the man let out a muffled groan of pain from deep

in his throat, his suit soaked in sweat.

In order to avoid a collision, the truck driver forcefully turned around and ended up crashing into a

flower bed on the side of the road; fortunately, the driver was unharmed.

Vincent, in pain throughout his body, temporarily released Annie.

He never even considered it.

This heartless little thing scurried away from his arms like a wisp of smoke!

“Hey! Hey there, Little Flower! Come back here and lend me a hand!”

Vincent was in such agony that he couldn’t even stand. His rage was so intense that he felt like he

could vomit blood!

Tonight’s banquet was widely publicized, and the start was the focus of attention; however, the

outcome was a rushed conclusion.

Vincent, fearing his sister and mother would be distressed by the car accident, requested the secretary

to keep it confidential.

Therefore, Zoey was only focused on being angry with Chloe. After the banquet, she lingered in the

wine gallery of Sawle Group Hotel, drinking with the unfortunate scheming sisters.

“Dang it! My second brother really has a thing for that bad girl, Chloe!”

“Since they’re so fond of it and show compassion everywhere, why did they split up?!” Zoey slammed

her glass down hard.

“Zoey, don’t say that you don’t get it, I’m also in the dark.”

“Before they divorced, Chloe was like a maid in our family. She took care of her second brother’s needs

for food, accommodation, and transportation. Every day, she would be devoted to her second brother’s

side and prepare meals for the Sawle family for three years. Sigh, three long years!”

“If I had to vomit daily, she could endure silently for three years, and I truly admire her for that.”

“In this manner, my second brother didn’t even spare a glance for her. He unhesitatingly set fire to that

vixen Grace. For Grace’s sake, he divorced a woman who had been devoted to him.”

“In the past, I believed my second brother was correct. Now, to be honest, he is quite oblivious.”

Skyler, having had a drink, spoke truthfully.

Zoey’s expression grew increasingly sour. “Sister Skyler,” she sneered, “are you taking Chloe’s side?

Are you regretting that she won’t be your sister-in-law anymore?”

“No, no, no… Zoey, you’ve got it wrong.”

Skyler realised she had spoken incorrectly and gave an awkward smile. “I’m just trying to help you work

it out. I don’t get why my second brother didn’t pay her any attention before they got married. But after

they tied the knot, he seemed to start caring about her.”

“Is this belated love that’s cheaper than grass? The everlasting turmoil that can’t be attained?”

After hearing this, Zoey gloomily took a swig of wine. Her strong desire to conquer was surging in her

chest. “I can’t believe it… I can’t believe that my second brother has any feelings for Chloe!”

“They had been married for three years. If they had already gone through one, how could they wait for

a divorce? The second brother just noticed that his ex-wife was doing well at one point. He wasn’t

angry, and the more irritated he became, the more he wanted to look out for her!”

“As she said this,” she lifted her brown hair and arrogantly smiled, “second brother and I have a strong

bond of love, and it’s incomparable to Chloe. He must have me in his heart; it’s just that he was

temporarily taken in by Chloe and was tricked!” Skyler, without anyone noticing, stuck out her tongue

and remained silent.

She always felt that this girl was a bit spirited, yet she couldn’t dampen her mood. After all, she still had

to rely on her to marry into the Anderson family!

“Sister Skyler, next, we must devise a plan to defeat Ada Wang and assist Second Brother in resolving

this case! I’m here to help you.”

Zoey remembered Chloe’s insufferably arrogant expression when she pulled out “Twilight of the Gods”,

and her eyes were filled with loathing. “Isn’t it just a damaged brooch? Alexa has created more than

one piece. If Chloe can take it out, then I

can too!”
