As Jason walked to the car, he didn't hear Claire's footsteps following him. He looked back and saw her leaning against the wall, coughing in pain.

She got a little impatient and said sarcastically: "I've told you many times, don't pretend to be weak in front of me, I don't care about you!"

Claire quietly wiped the blood from the corner of her lip, looked at him and forced a smile: "You're really thorough to see that I'm pretending to be weak." Her tone was clearly filled with mockery.

Jason chuckled and got into the car.

Claire paused for a moment, enduring the stabbing pain in her lungs, and slowly approached the car.

Once inside, Jason immediately started the car and they drove off.

During the ride, Claire couldn't sit still. She fell back in her seat and coughed loudly, which irritated Jason, who said sarcastically: "Your acting is so real that people who don't know you will think you really have lung disease."

Claire clenched her hands into fists and tried to stop the itching in

    Looking at Claire in his black shirt, Jason thought she still looked sexy today. Looking at her cleavage and her bare legs, he feels a little hot.Damn it! It had been too long since he had touched a woman and he really saw that this woman was even more beautiful than before. She was sexier and more attractive.Claire felt his burning gaze and quickly grabbed a piece of clothing from the closet to cover herself.Jason said sarcastically. "Weren't you wearing my clothes on purpose to seduce me? Then why are you covering yourself?"Oh, this guy is too sure of himself, right?Never wanting to look oppressed in front of her ex-husband, Claire suddenly smiled, took off the clothes in front of him and said deliberately. "How do you always know what I'm thinking?"Jason chuckled and looked away briefly, but he still felt a little hot.Claire approached him. "Of course I wanted to tease you, since you're the president of the DA group." Then she deliberately bent down in front of him with a sm

    Jason's brow furrowed even more when he learned that the person who helped Claire get the job was the president of Giant Entertainment himself.He looked at Claire.The president of Giant Entertainment had nothing to do with Laura. Laura was not the reason why this contract was made, Claire was. After all, this contract was great for Claire.He wondered what to do to get accurate information about who owned this agency. Only the CEO always appeared on the surface, but everyone knew that he was not the owner. There was someone more powerful, but even Paul couldn't find the information.Claire was furious when Jason looked at her with such a watchful eye. She took two steps back and said, "I'm going to work first!"After saying that, she hurriedly turned around and prepared to leave, but Jason's cold voice suddenly sounded behind her. "You've been in contact with Nick Johnson for the past five years, right?"Claire's footsteps stopped abruptly.Jason narrowed his eyes slightly and stare

    In the afternoon, Claire looked for a secluded place to have lunch so as not to run into Jason.She had a headache all day today and just wanted to finish her work quickly so she could go home.She opened the lid of the lunch box, and before she could take a bite, she heard someone calling from the other side."Mr. Bradford is here..."This was definitely the most secluded place in the back of the set. Why would Jason come here?She looked up and saw Jason walking past her, and it turned out that Mandy was walking behind him.Why did they come here? In an instant, the place became crowded with several of Mandy's assistants and others.Claire's head, which had felt dizzy, hurt even more now.If she had known that they would talk here, she wouldn't have sat here. But luckily Jason ignored her.While she was enjoying her meal, someone suddenly sat down next to her and put fried chicken in her lunchbox.He looked up in surprise to see Gabriel's sweet smiling face."You...""You're too ski

    Jason suddenly wanted to know how much Claire liked the new actor."Paul, let's go!" He said word for word while staring at Claire's pale face in front of his car. The woman looked angry and stubborn.Paul didn't know what to do, "But Madame is still standing in front of our car."Jason pursed his lips coldly, "I will take responsibility for whatever happens to her.""But...""If you say one more word, you can resign!"Paul was silent and looked at Claire with a pitying look, but he started his car immediately.It was awful when the two of them argued."Sorry madam, this is Mr. Bradford's order, don't blame me." Paul muttered to himself. When the car started to drive away, Claire was still at the front of the car. But at the last second, as the car was about to hit her, a man appeared and pulled her aside.The car sped off.Paul was slightly relieved, even though sweat was already pouring down his forehead. He looked back and saw Jason staring into the rearview mirror.He couldn't s

    At the sight of Mandy falling onto the table, Jason gritted his teeth and gave Claire a sharp look.Claire replied with a raised eyebrow, "I didn't push her. She fell on her own." "Do you think I'm blind?" "It's not your eyes that are blind, it's your heart!" Claire whispered, but then laughed sarcastically. He was always like that anyway, wasn't he? It was useless to defend oneself against him, he wouldn't believe it.Just then Mandy stroked her injured waist and said quietly, "Jason, don't blame Claire, it's my fault. She doesn't like the chicken I gave her, I forced her to eat it, it's not her fault." Hearing this, Jason remembered the scene of Claire eating the chicken Gabriel had given her, and he became even angrier.She loved Gabriel too much, and that made whatever Gabriel gave her feel better?Jason took a breath and held back his anger. He said with a cold laugh, "Do you really want me to give this role back to Gabriel?" Claire's eyes lit up and she looked at him expecta

    Jason asks if Claire has feelings for Gabriel, but Claire replies that it doesn't matter. It was none of Jason's business and had nothing to do with the matter at hand. Suddenly, Jason angrily pulled on her collar and made her stand up. He stared at her for a long time, and somehow his face came closer and closer to Claire's. Their lips were only inches apart when Jason suddenly opened his eyes and heard the sound of vomit. The woman dodged quickly, but she threw up on Jason's chest anyway. Jason was disgusted, "Claire!" He pushed the woman away and yelled angrily, "Are you too disgusted with me to throw up like that? Remember, you were the one who seduced me into sleeping with you." "No, Jason..." Claire tried to explain, but her sick stomach made her stop talking. Jason looked at her coldly, for him this woman disgusted him on purpose. 'She wanted to be loyal to Gabriel. If she didn't want to be touched, she could say so directly, but why did she have to do that?' "D

    Theo was a little annoyed, but he was also trying to help. "Jason asked me to heal you, so that's what I'm going to do."Claire laughed. "Are you kidding me? He'd be the happiest person if I died."Theo took a moment to think and then said, "Maybe it's because he still has unfinished business with you!"Claire didn't respond and was ready to leave."You don't have much time left. You should apologize to Jason for killing his mother. He was my friend. I'll heal you if you do that."Should she apologize to Jason for a mistake she didn't make?Theo was a little confused as he watched Claire leave without thinking. Would she really rather die than apologize?"Arthur, where's Jason?" Claire asked as she went upstairs and met the butler. "Did you tell him that Theo is waiting downstairs?"Arthur shook his head. "Mr. Jason has already left for Paris.""Going to Paris?" Claire frowned. They had just been talking, right?"I'm not sure why either. It was pretty sudden."All right, that's good.

    As Matt put his arm around Claire's shoulders, they were startled by a soft and familiar voice, and it was Jason. Claire quickly looked at the open door and Jason entered quietly as if he had been invited. But he wasn't.Claire's mouth fell open, as did everyone else's, except for Matt, who laughed instead. Everyone looked at Jason in surprise.Matt deliberately hugged Claire and looked provocatively at Jason. It was very strange. It seemed like he was using her to annoy Jason, but why did Matt think he could use her to get revenge on that bad guy? Matt smiled and then said to Jason, "What a coincidence. How did you know I was renting this room?""I happened to be at dinner and saw your assistant." Jason looked at Claire and actually felt uncomfortable because Matt was hugging her.Claire took the opportunity to stand up and offered Jason her seat, "Mr. Jason, please sit here. I have no business here, so I'd better go." After she finished speaking, Matt pulled her back and Claire i

    In his office, Jason angrily threw the documents and sneered, "Whenever she makes a mistake, she always disappears. Does she really think she can get away?"Seeing that there were still blood stains on Jason's shirt, Paul hurriedly said, "Sir, don't be angry, let's treat your wound first."Jason sighed and said coldly, "Tell them to keep looking for her!""Okay." Paul replied cautiously and then left. Later he met Theo and said to him, "Mr. Jason is so terrible, he looks like he wants to kill someone. It's only natural that Madame Claire wants to avoid him."Theo looked inside and saw Jason sitting in a chair smoking a cigarette. Behind the smoke was a very grim face. He shook his head, "He's looking for Claire because he wants to know if she's still alive or not.""What do you mean?" Paul didn't understand what Theo was saying because he hadn't heard about the incident at Jason's grandmother's house.Theo didn't want to talk about it. "Nothing, forget it.

    Claire was startled and looked at the bedside machine. The lights on the machine showed a rapidly flashing red heartbeat, and that meant something very abnormal was happening to her grandmother.The doctors and nurses arrived quickly after hearing the alarm.Claire turned pale and quickly stepped aside to make room for the doctor. "What happened? How is she?" she asked worriedly, but suddenly her arm was grabbed tightly.She looked up to see Jason, his expression cold and angry."Theo, save my grandmother," Jason said frantically, then pulled Claire's arm and carried her outside.He threw her mercilessly to the ground and seemed to really hate her. "My grandmother is already in a coma, aren't you satisfied? Why do you still want to hurt her?""No, I didn't do anything to her." Claire started to explain, but Jason cut her off."Her physical condition was stable the whole time, so there's no way she would have gone into such a shock if you hadn't hurt her!"Claire could say nothing. She

    "You're back." Calvin walked happily into Claire's room and approached her as soon as he heard about her arrival. He frowned when he saw the medicine chest in her hand. "What is it? Are you sick?" he asked worriedly.Claire stroked his head, "No. I'm fine."Calvin shook his head vigorously, "Arthur told me that we cannot ignore the slightest illness, I must tell my Daddy."Calvin left immediately, so fast that Claire could not stop him.She pursed her lips sadly, because even if the boy told Jason that she was sick, he wouldn't care.Calvin had just left when Theo came in, deliberately looking for her to grumble. "Why are you so cruel? You could have killed him!" He spoke bluntly, his arms crossed over his chest.Claire smiled. "If I had killed him, would you have killed me?" Then she casually swallowed the pill in her hand. Ignoring him.Theo looked at the pill and said quietly, "Those pills will only make your illness worse. Go make up with Jason. If he forgives you, I will cure you

    Claire approached Jason to give him something to eat, but Jason continued to ignore her as if he was completely asleep.But as Claire started to leave, Jason grabbed her hand and asked, "Didn't I tell you not to leave the hotel room? Why won't you listen to me?" Claire tried to explain, but the man sneered, "Are you trying to get me killed? So you deliberately went out to be kidnapped by Matt?"Claire hated the ironic tone. She had been kidnapped because of him, and now this man was angry with her. "Yes, you sent me to prison five years ago. I lost my son because of you. Of course I want you dead," Claire said without thinking.It turned out that Mandy had other things to do in Paris, so she didn't come home with them.Jason blinked and looked at her, "So why did you choose to deceive Matt instead of killing me?"Claire was a bit confused.Yes, this was a good opportunity to get revenge on Jason, but she never thought of killing this man.Since she didn't answer, Jason approached her,

    Claire pointed the knife at Matt and quickly walked over to him and held the knife to his throat. "What are you going to do?" asked Matt angrily.At that moment, everyone was surprised by the change, especially Paul.Jason looked at Claire as he pressed the wound on his chest. It was all an act, but he felt that Claire wasn't really pretending. He was pretty sure that for a moment Claire had thought about hurting him."Tell your people to let us go!" Claire said in a cold tone."In your dream!" Matt was too angry and laughed, "I don't want to kill you, but if you don't stop threatening me, I will," he said cruelly.Claire didn't care. "It doesn't matter. My life is worth nothing anyway. Do you want to die with me?"Matt gritted his teeth, he had never been threatened by a woman before. Besides, he seemed to have underestimated this woman.Feeling the pain in his neck, Matt had no choice but to order the guards, "Let them go!" he said. His breath was ragged with anger.As soon as the

    "Where is Alice?" Jason asked Claire matter-of-factly.Seeing his cruel look, Claire calmly replied, "You're such an idiot, do you really think I'm going to tell you where she is?"Jason blinked and looked very angry, "Do you really want to die?"Claire smiled and pursed her lips, "Do you regret it? It turns out you're not that smart. It was too easy to fool you." After saying that, she spoke to Matt beside her, "I helped you get him to come, if you want revenge, go ahead."Paul was furious and criticized her, "You are so mean. I told you Mr. Bradford would always protect you, but you set him up instead?" He turned to Jason with difficulty as his legs and hands were bound. "Sir, this woman and Matt are working together, they want to hurt you, hurry up and leave, don't worry about me or Alice."Matt chuckled. "He's already here, do you think he can still get away?"Meanwhile, Jason still looked calm, and there was no panic at all on his face. "What do you want, Matt?" he asked Matt.Ma

    "Do you really want to fight him with me?" Matt sat down in the chair and looked at Claire."Of course. Just so you know, I hate him so much."Matt shook his head and laughed mockingly, "You two make a bad couple.""He and I stopped being a couple a long time ago.""So tell me what you can do to help me deal with him, and if your way doesn't work, I'll still gouge your eyes out and pull the nails from your hands.""I can guarantee that my way will be better than yours." Claire was confident, "If you don't believe me, you can call him right now and threaten him with my life. You'll see how he reacts."Matt looked at her and called Jason. The phone rang for quite a while before it was answered.Matt deliberately put it on speaker and said, "Your ex-wife is here, come here now or I'll gouge out her eyes and give them to you.""Whatever, torture her however you want," Jason replied in a cold and dispassionate tone.Claire smiled stiffly. Although she had already guessed that Jason would n

    When Paul said that Jason was already on his way home, Claire jerked her arm back, "But he said he'd be back, what happened to him?""Matt kidnapped Mrs. Mandy and Mr. Bradford was injured trying to help her, but luckily he managed to escape with her and now they're on their way home."So Jason's hasty departure was really because of Mandy?Claire laughed sarcastically."Mrs. Wynne, time is running out, it will be dangerous if we stay here, let's go."This time Claire didn't resist and let Paul pull her towards the door.They walked out of the hotel and Claire shivered in the cold wind, but strangely her mind became a little clearer.She looked at Paul. "Even though this is Paris and even though Matt is very powerful here, Mandy is an international superstar who has many bodyguards around her. Can Matt really kidnap her?"In their panic, they forgot to question the truth of the matter.Paul paused for a moment and said, "I'm not sure, but I heard that Mrs. Mandy was kidnapped by Matt.

    "So are you just going to watch me get killed by him?" After Claire finished saying that, she immediately realized how redundant and ridiculous the question was. He didn't care anyway, so she quickly corrected, "If Matt really threatened you with my life, you'll just ignore him and watch me die!""If it weren't for Kimberly and Calvin, I wouldn't care about you anyway," Jason replied.Claire really wanted to hit him out of annoyance and anger.It was funny, even though she was in this difficult situation because of him, this idiot thought that she was the one causing him problems. Of course, she was fed up with this guy no matter what.Jason looked into her red eyes and felt irritated. He threw the bag down and put the food he had brought on the table. "Put this on and come over for dinner."He was always bossy and never friendly. Except for the night they first slept together, because that night he thought Claire was Alice.The bag contained a pair of shoes and a pair of soft socks.
