Claire looked at her, smiled, took the check, and placed it in her purse. Unknown to them, Claire had secretly let out her aura and would play with these people to vent her anger with the family who thought of hurting her grandfather.“Let’s go have lunch.” Claire suddenly said and placed her purse over her shoulder.Julia only nodded like a little schoolgirl, not knowing she was becoming under Claire’s influence. The two men also became aware of how beautiful Claire was and only stared dumbfoundedly until they were awakened from their trance by Julia’s abrupt hitting the back of their heads for them to leave.Claire and Julia left the company under the scrutiny eye of Samantha Kingsly and frowned. ‘Were they not enemies? Why are they leaving like they are sisters? I need to report this to Steven.’“I’m disappointed in your judgment on interfering with your cousin’s project. Is this the teachings of a father to son?” George asked in the room, overlooking the father and son.Henry hear
The waiter left the area in a frantic panic. This was the first time he had been found out, and he didn’t want his reputation to be tarnished like this, but he had the strangest feeling whenever he thought about this woman that was his target and would look at the hand that she touched. Hours after his debacle, he was in his hotel room looking at his hand. The feeling it gave was becoming more assertive. He needed to seek her out and____and____ what was he supposed to do? There was a knocking on his door. He rose from his bed and answered, seeing a beautiful woman with flowing blond hair and deep blue eyes staring at him. He bowed out of instinct and waved her in.Claire entered the room without fear and looked around. It was apparent he had been living here for a while. She turned her attention to the waiter when he closed the door and began her interrogation.“Who sent you?” Claire asked the first question.“I’m under contract with Global Entertainment and get my orders directly fro
‘He was the one who caused troubles for Blake that night and now for myself. If I don’t take care of this, who knows what troubles we will have in the future?’Claire then took out her phone and called the restaurant when the maître d’ answered, expecting a reservation to be arranged.“Shangri-la, how may I help you?”“I’m Claire Elon—your boss’s wife. I had a guest there earlier and asked for a private area. Do you remember?” Claire said as Henry’s eyes widened with shock hearing the owner of the famous restaurant belonged to Blake.“Y_Yes, mam. I do recall. A disturbance had occurred with one of our new recruits.”“Yes, that did occur, but it has also been brought to my attention that you released my whereabouts to the online streaming of one Samantha Kingsly,” Claire said, looking directly at Samantha. Making her gain a cold sweat along her back.“Ye_Yes, mam. I did. Is there a problem?” The maître d’ stammered feeling he was in trouble.“When I instruct privacy to be conducted, I
“Cough, what about Henry? Will they be coming for him next?” Quinton asked, looking at the paper in his hands.“It’s not in the evidence being sent to the police. I felt____. I felt it was better to handle it internally, seeing I was not hurt in the process.” Claire stated still not showing any emotions.George extended his hand for the paper, and Quinton looked at it one last time before relinquishing it to his father. George then turned to his shredder and shredded the evidence against his grandson.“We will not speak of this, but he will not go unpunished. I assure you, Claire, I will give proper punishment to Henry and give a satisfying answer to Blake.” George said as the last of the paper ended in the waste container.“Blake? Why would we need to answer him?” Quinton asked. “Granted, he’s her husband on paper but____.” Quinton was interrupted by George.“He’s the CEO of Elon Trust and head of the Elon family of the Capital. Does he now warrant an explanation?” George stated.Fri
Claire leaned over and placed her hand on Helen’s shoulder, releasing some Spirit Qi to help calm her. Helen placed her hand on top of Claire’s and felt the warm comfort from Claire, and smiled. She felt better now, knowing Claire was with her.“Now, mam. Where should we go?” Heather asked, releasing her hand.“Head to Lotus Suits. I have a few acquaintances to speak to.” Claire said with a sly smile.Henry entered his office and placed his head into his hands in despair. How was he to know Blake was the CEO of Elon Trust? If he had known, he would never target Claire. ‘This is all Claire’s fault. Why didn’t she tell the family she was the wife of the CEO when she got the Elon Project? The Elon Project. This was the reason why she got it when no one else could. The game was already rigged from the start, and no one was allowed to play. How dare they rig the game that he fought so hard to win. Claire’s now been poisoned, and I hear it will take three days to effect fully. She only has
“You know you have it,” Blake said without thinking.“No, no, no. Blake, I need your trust in what I’m about to say. So don’t agree so easily because this is very hard for me.” Claire said and turned so she wouldn’t face him.“Certain situations have happened that have made me realize we don’t have all the time in the world like we usually do.” Claire began.“Sure we do. You will have thousands of years to live when you and the girls finish training.” Blake interrupted.“Yes, I know, unless accidents occur. But even then, what will we do during those thousands of years? It’s almost like we will be immortal, only relying on ourselves for comfort and company during the extended time.” Claire said with her head down.“So, what do you want? To stop training and stay mortal? Grow old and leave this plane of existence?” Blake asked.“No, I want to be with you. But also, I want to be with my sisters, and I want to love my sisters. Blake, do you understand what I’m trying to say? I betrayed y
“Welcome. Dinner will be ready in a few minutes. Come and have a seat. You all know my sister Tabby.”“Hello, Betty and Carol, am I right?” Tabby asked from the kitchen.“Yes, and you are Tabitha? Betty asked, wearing the yellow dress.Tabby only smiled.“Well, the aroma is divine; steaks I smell?” Carol asked, wearing the pink dress.“You’re right. I felt simple and elegant for our first meal together.” Claire explained.The two ladies nodded in agreement and sat on the couch. Just then, one of the babies started crying.“Excuse me. A mother’s work is never done.” Claire said, smiling, and went to check on the babies.“Can we tag along?” Betty asked.“Sure, let Tabby finish, and you can give me a hand if you like,” Claire responded as Tabby stuck out her tongue to her in jest.They entered the nursery as Lacey was the one who needed changing and was crying for her mother’s attention. Claire began her changing as the two sisters looked on with wonder.“This is Lacey; she is the cranky
As Blake was returning to the estate, his phone rang. Seeing it was Claire, he quickly answered.“Hello?”“Blake Elon, if you don’t show up in the next few minutes, you can forget about our playtime when you return! I am in the suite,” Claire yelled, to the astonishment of Carol and Betty. Wasn’t Blake in the Capital? How on earth was he to appear here in the next few minutes? To their surprise, Claire was still talking on the phone, actually giving a counting to Blake.“1_2_3_4_5_6.”Hearing the urgency of Claire’s call, Blake quickly transferred himself directly into his Suite, astonished that Carol and Betty were also there.“What the hell? All three simultaneously exclaimed in surprise.Betty and Carol witnessed Blake materialize in front of them, the most remarkable thing they had ever witnessed. Blake looked at Claire as she hung up her phone and walked seductively to Blake.“Thank you, dear, for coming so urgently. We are in the middle of discussing the approvals of two of your
