Chapter 46
After the rescue, Grace was transferred to ordinary ward room.
The doctor said that she was fine. Although the wound was not shallow, it was not to the point of stitching.
The main reason why she fainted was because she was too frightened and nervous.”
“Daughter! You finally woke up!”
“I thought I would never see you again!” Willow cried beside the hospital bed.
“Alright, alright. Don’t cry. Joseph isn’t here; who are you crying so loudly to? You’ve disturbed my eyes.”
“Have you thought of a solution for this?” Aubree asked impatiently, standing in front of the window with her arms crossed.
“What is it?” Willow wiped her tears and asked blankly for a moment.
“Heh, you guys aren’t messing up more than this, are you?”
Aubree clicked her tongue and looked at her incompetent sister with disdain. “You really can’t do anything but ruin things. Now there’s a popular phrase called ‘Supporting the Devil. I think I’m a‘ Supporting the Devil Without my help, will your daughter have a good result today with Joseph?”
“With your weak brain, you want to marry your daughter into a rich family? Heh, fat chance of that!”
Grace also held a grievance in her heart, blaming her mother for not caring about her mother when she was naked and wearing an apron.
In order to make up for her family, she sold the necklace that Joseph gave her, but she did not sell it to Thorp family for a long time and brought it to the auction. This matter would definitely make the relationship. between her and Joseph worse, leaving a hidden danger!
“Sister, if you want to talk about this, I have to talk to you about it!”
Willow had been scolded by Aubree since she was a child. Now, she was embarrassed in front of her daughter. She was angry and said, “Today, Grace and I were in harmony. I had already treated that little bitch Raya to death.”
“What does your little daughter mean? Why did she come out at the

critical moment to destroy our stage? If not for her causing trouble, how could it end up like this?”
“How would I know that Annie would be in the bathroom? Grace, you are also the same. How did I usually tell you? Why are you so careless when you do things? You don’t even know that you left behind evidence?”
Aubree was also very angry, but this matter was indeed her responsibility, so she could only blame it on Grace.
Grace seemed to swallow a mute, pouting aggrievedly.
“In short, there is no evidence to prove that the injury was caused by Grace herself. Grace, if Joseph asks, you can pretend to be crazy. Joseph has feelings for you, and this matter should be perfunctory.”
Aubree rubbed her temples with a headache and said coldly, “How about I have a way to make Joseph forgive you for what you did?”
“I know, aunt…”
Grace thought of Helena’s protection of Raya, and her face twisted with jealousy. “Is Raya raising ghosts? Why are all of Thorp family’s people so good to her?”
“Why is that Second Madam from the Thorp family so protective of her as if she is protecting her own daughter? If this goes on, Raya will really ride on our heads!”
At the mention of Helena, Aubree’s face turned extremely ugly.
“What Second Madam from the Thorp family? She’s clearly just a concubine! I gave her some face on account of Director Thorp, and she even took advantage of me!”
“That’s right! Aunt, you are the first wife of uncle, a proper wife. How can Helena compare to you?” Grace hurriedly flattered. After all, if she wanted to marry Sawle family, she had to rely on her.
Willow laughed coldly in her heart. ‘She still had the nerve to call someone else a concubine? Wasn’t she also a concubine?‘
Back then, if not for the fact that Joseph’s birth mother was stupid and had been tricked by her, she wouldn’t even dream of entering Sawle family’s door!
“I won’t let Raya marry Thorp Group as she wishes. Helena is a bastard. What’s the use of currying favor with her?”
Aubree narrowed her eyes, her gaze cold. “It is only proper if Stefan can tolerate her. I heard from Jake that Director Thorp is very difficult to deal

with. He has always paid attention to the reputation of his family.
“Oscar was also the eldest son that he had raised according to his successor. The eldest son would definitely marry the daughter of a big family. How could he allow his son to marry such a bumpkin!”
“The future is long. Let that wench be proud for a few days. I will make her cry one day!”
Before Aubree finished speaking, ward room’s door suddenly opened.
A wave of rugged and cold came, and Joseph’s handsome and tall figure was embedded in the middle of the door frame.
“Brother Joseph…” Grace was scared in her heart, and her face looked miserable.
“I have something to ask you.”
Grace’s hand that was holding the sheets trembled, and she hurriedly looked at Aubree for help.
“Joseph, Grace was a little stimulated and just woke up from a coma. Let’s talk about it when she recovers.” Aubree quickly persuaded her in a soft
tone.
“There are some things that I have to clarify right now.” Joseph did not give in at all. His thin lips curved in a cold and hard arc.
“Mr. Sawle… It’s all my fault! It’s all my fault!”
Willow thought that instead of being blamed, it was better to strike first. and take the blame. This matter could not affect her daughter and block her way!
So she rushed over with a sad face and knelt down in front of Joseph, “Brown family is in trouble. Not only is the capital chain broken, but the factory also closed down one after another…”
“Sawle family refused to make a move, and we were forced to death by the Thorp family. We were really desperate… So I discussed with Grace’s father and sold some assets to fill the hole in the company.”
“I was the one who sold Grace’s jewelry without permission. Grace did not know about it! If I knew that the necklace was a token of love from you, Mr. Sawle… I would never sell it even if I had to starve to death!”
Grace heaved a sigh of relief in her heart and pretended to be innocent and stunned. Her eyes were filled with tears as she said. “Mom… you are 100 much… That is my favorite necklace… How can you…”
A Billion–Rich Woman Was Chased by Her Ex–Husband
However, Joseph did not even move his cold, white eyelids. He only said coldly, “This is not what I want to ask.”
Compared to the matter of slandering Raya, the necklace was no longer important in his eyes.
Although he could not help but feel frustrated when he saw his
painstaking efforts being ruined, if Grace really sold it to save her family, he could understand and let it go.
However, he could not let go of inverting right and wrong and framing an innocent person.
“Did you do the injury on your hand, or did Raya do it?”
“Did she accidentally break Raya’s bracelet, or did you break it?” Joseph said in a low voice, his eyes calm.
“Brother Joseph… Are you saying that I am a bad woman who framed Raya?”
Grace cried with tears in her eyes, “Young romance lasts until now… Do you think that I can’t catch up with an ex–wife who lied to you?”
“Annie never lies. She said that she didn’t see Raya touch you.” Joseph frowned.
“Your fourth sister’s brain is not clear, and her ability to express herself is also bad. Joseph, it’s not like you don’t know. Moreover, she was hiding in some corner at that time. It’s hard to tell if she saw clearly or not.” Aubree hurriedly came out to smooth things over.
Joseph coldly raised the corner of his lips, “As a mother, do you always hurt your own daughter in front of others?”
“I don’t have a mother, I don’t quite understand.”
Aubree’s face instantly turned ashen.
This bastard was usually like half a dead person at home, and when he scolded her, he was really full of energy!
“So, Grace, why did you do this? Since I chose you, I won’t reconcile with Raya. Why do you still want to find trouble with her?”
Joseph suppressed the resentment in his heart. The deeper the disappointment accumulated, the more it was like a heavy shackle that bound his heart, and he was really about to stop.
He was willing to call her “Grace” due to the two decades of friendship and the solace she provided him when he was young. After all, Grace was

the only beacon of hope in his dismal childhood.
He was very afraid that the light would go out, and he was very afraid that the person he gambled on was wrong.
“I didn’t! It wasn’t me, not me!”
Grace shouted and patted the mattress. Her eyes, which were usually as gentle as water, were now filled with ferocious blood vessels. “She stole my man! Now she wants to turn me into a harmful monster!”
“Third sister said that Raya had a good relationship with Annie when she was with Sawle family… They must have teamed up to harm me!” “Brother Joseph! Would you rather believe them than believe me? Have you fallen in love with Raya? Do you not want me anymore?”
“I have always been yours. Even in the three years I married Raya, my heart has not changed, and I have never touched her.”
Joseph clenched every trembling finger hard, his starry eyes dim and dim. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
He thought of how Raya did not hesitate to take the blame when she was questioned, of her swollen wrist, of her disappointment when she looked back at him with tears and hatred….
Joseph took a deep breath. The intense headache caused him to be dazed. “But Grace, I don’t understand what you have been doing recently.”
“Are you pushing me toward her?”
“No, no, no, Brother Joseph… Brother Joseph!”
Seeing the man leave without turning back, Grace was so scared that she rolled out of bed and ran to the door.
However, there was only a heavy sound of the door closing, and a nose full of cold wind.
Grace glared at ward room and kicked the door angrily. As a result, she screamed in pain and jumped around on the spot.
‘Raya, I won’t let you go!”
You are challenging me, right? I also have this intention!”
