When Claire suddenly panicked, Laura panicked even more and asked, "What's wrong?" A sense of dread gripped her heart.

"I feel like someone is following us," Claire said.

"What?" Laura looked back anxiously, "But there's no one there."

Claire shook her head. She couldn't describe her feelings, but she felt that there was a figure behind her. She also heard soft footsteps. It could be Theo's men, right?

The street was quite dark, and the street with the bright streetlights was still some distance ahead.

Claire pulled Laura along and said, "Let's hurry."

Laura nodded and ran faster. "Ah!" She suddenly fell to the ground and screamed.

Claire helped her immediately, "Laura, are you okay?"

"It really hurts. It's your fault." Laura looked down at her heel and rubbed her sprained ankle. She complained angrily.

Claire helps her get up without saying anything, but as she bent down, she saw several large figures approaching them.

Surprised, she said hurriedly, "We're really being followed. L

    Jason scoffed, "You think Laura's the one they're after?""Then you think it's me?" Claire laughed. She was just Laura's assistant and not an important person at all. There was no way they would use such a method to catch her."You can call Laura now and ask her if she arrived safely or not."Claire looked at Jason suspiciously and hesitated. If Laura was hiding right now, the ringing of her cell phone would give away her hiding place.Jason seemed to know what she was thinking, "Rest assured. If Laura gets caught because you called her, I'll rescue her.""All right." Her cell phone was dead, so she borrowed Paul's.Jason looked at her sideways and got annoyed. This woman didn't believe him, like he was a liar.When Claire called, Laura answered quickly. "Who are you? I told you, this woman is just my assistant. If you kidnapped her, I don't have the money to make it up to you."Claire rolled her eyes and said, "Laura, it's me. Are you okay?" Laura sighed, "You didn't get caught by t

    While Claire was in the shower, the door suddenly opened and it was Jason."Get out!" She yelled angrily.Jason looked at her through the glass, which was slightly blurred by the water, and frowned when he saw something strange. It looked like there was a wound on the woman's body. But his expression changed back to indifference and he walked out.Claire went to the door and locked it. Then she looked at the clothes Jason had brought earlier.It was brand new because the label hadn't been ripped off. She smiled wryly. This man really hated the smell of alcohol and tobacco on her. He even told her to change her clothes. She quickly finished her shower and started to get dressed, afraid that he would suddenly walk in again, but as she picked up her clothes, something fell to the floor.She hesitantly picked it up and saw that it was wound medicine. So Jason bought her this medicine? Is he that good?She applied the ointment to the wound on her leg and got dressed.When she came out,

    "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.

    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.

    "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

    "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

    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

    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,

    "Where are the maids at home? Why did you make the noodles?"Claire scoffed. "I didn't bother calling the maid, it was easy anyway."Jason narrowed his eyes. "You can't seduce Theo, he already has a girlfriend and he won't love you."Claire laughed affectionately, and her hands gripped the newspaper as tightly as if she were squeezing the neck of the man in front of her.Why did he think she was seducing Theo? It was just a plate of pasta.Thinking that her priority now was to treat her wound, Claire didn't want to engage him, but to Jason, her silence seemed like consent.Jason's tone became worse, "You should listen to my advice, he loves someone and he would do anything for this woman, then you won't be able to get close to him. So you better give up."Claire was silent, holding back her anger, but all she could do was roll her eyes uncontrollably while maintaining her silence.Sometimes this man's imagination really was as big as the universe.Claire threw down the newspaper and w

    Jason unconsciously raised his hand to touch Claire's head, but he suddenly realized that Theo was standing at the door, and the man was so startled that he reflexively pushed Claire's head away from him.Claire, who had been concentrating on applying the medicine, fell to the bed in a daze. "What the hell?" she asked irritably, holding her head as she tried to get up."Looks like I came at a bad time." Theo, who was standing in the doorway, saw the incident and couldn't help but laugh."At least close the door!" Jason said to Claire. He really didn't notice that the door to his room was not closed. "And you, couldn't you have knocked before coming in?" he said to Theo.Theo came in with medical equipment: "The door was open, so I didn't have to knock."Jason looked at him angrily. "Who told you to come? I didn't call you today.""She told me to come." Theo pointed at Claire. "She called me last night and said you had a high fever. But I couldn't come last night, so I came today."Cla

    Calvin came out of his room, probably because he heard Claire's scream, while the others knew they could not interfere."Dad?" Calvin greeted his father. "What happened? Why is Aunt Claire screaming?""I had a quarrel with her," Jason answered honestly. "You don't want her to leave, do you? So don't try to help her out of the room this time!"Calvin hesitated for a moment before nodding."Good. Go back to your room," his father ordered, and Calvin went back to his room without saying anything more.Claire's screams could no longer be heard as she collapsed exhausted on the floor next to the bed. She hugged herself as she shivered and cried. She looked around. What if there was another fire? What if she couldn't get out of here while the fire consumed the entire building?Just then, someone opened the door and walked in. It was Jason.Claire ran to him immediately. "Jason, please... don't lock me in. Don't keep the door locked. I promise... I'm not going anywhere. I'm not going anywhe

    "I am human too. I can feel pain and sadness," Claire said. It was the first time she had ever broken down and cried in front of Jason and looked so weak.The woman cried like a battered child. "Why are you doing this to me, what have I done wrong?"But Claire was not Alice, and even if she cried with all the sadness she had long harbored, she would not win Jason's heart, because in his eyes, Claire's tears were nothing more than a tool to gain sympathy.Claire looked at his cold and indifferent expression and suddenly realized that her tears were just a joke.She could cry in front of anyone, but not in front of this man.Suddenly, Claire laughed, her tear-stained face smiling brightly. "I almost forgot, you never believed my tears, so it seems my fake crying didn't work on you."Jason's hands slowly tightened at her sides and Claire could clearly feel his anger growing."Even if that's true, do you think I care?" he asked. "Even if you don't want me to touch you while I'm imagining

    When Jason held her hand, what surprised Claire was that her hand felt very warm. Oh no, it was not just warm, his body temperature was extremely hot and definitely abnormal."Jason..." She looked intently at the man on the bed again, and only then did she notice the unnatural flush in his cheeks.Jason probably had a fever.With that thought, Claire used her other hand to check his forehead.When she did, she pulled her hand back in surprise.His fever was very high."Don't leave me. Don't go." Jason muttered as he pulled Claire's hand tightly, repeating the words over and over.He must have thought that she was Alice.Claire tried to pull her hand away, but Jason's grip was so strong that her struggle was futile.She happened to see his cell phone on the nightstand, and with great difficulty she tried to grab it, then used Jason's index finger to unlock it, then found Theo's number and called him.No one answered the first time, so she tried again.It was after midnight and she didn

    When Claire walked into Jason's room, the man was leaning against the bed, his face looking more tired than yesterday, his lips more dry and cracked, he looked weak.Claire stood outside the door for a long time, waiting for Jason to throw her out, but he didn't say anything, just kept looking at something on his phone, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.Claire thought she could leave quietly, but that seemed wrong, so she said: "Turns out you're already better than yesterday."Jason looked at her. "You came early in the morning to see if I was dead or not, right?"Hoping Jason would chase her away, Claire deliberately baited him, "Yes, but unfortunately God didn't hear my inner screams and let you live a healthy life."Jason's eyes narrowed and his jaw clenched in annoyance.Claire pursed her lips and smiled slightly, "Okay, I guess you don't want to see me either, so I'd better go, okay?" she said hopefully."Stay here!" Jason said casually, then his attention returned to h

    As Claire passes Jason's office, she overhears Mandy provoking Jason by suggesting that Claire had a secret meeting with Gabriel and that they looked very intimate."Are you stalking me?" Claire angrily opened the door.At that moment, Mandy was apparently at the table preparing the food she had brought for Jason.When she saw Claire, her face darkened.Claire looked at Jason, smiled and said to Mandy, "Are you so interested in my life that you know where I am and what I'm doing? You even know that I met with Gabriel just to talk about the rumors.""Of course I care, you are my sister." Mandy said with a fake smile.Claire smiled in disgust. "But your expression is really fake and too obvious. Even though Gabriel and I tried to cover ourselves with jackets and masks, even hats, these clothes are not the clothes I usually wear, but you still recognized us. What excuse can you make unless you were following us?"Mandy was a little angry, but she couldn't get angry in front of Jason.Thi

    Claire unconsciously fell asleep, and when she woke up, she found Theo sitting next to her bed.The man closed the magazine he was reading and said with a smile, "If I hadn't notice you, I would have thought you were dead."Claire didn't say anything. She had just gotten up to sit down and still felt resentment in her heart because of the previous problem.Theo knew what she was thinking. He sighed, "Actually, you don't have to argue with Jason. If you behave well in front of him, you will at least have a chance to survive. I've told you that many times, haven't I?"Claire smiled ironically. "And I've also told you many times that I don't want to do that, right?"Theo said with a serious face, "Your illness is getting worse and I think you could die in less than a year. So you'd better beg Jason. I mean... I'm willing to help you get better for free, but medicine and medical equipment and all your treatments cost a lot of money. And the fastest way to get that kind of money is if Jaso

  • My Cruel Ex-husband Wants to Reconcile with Me   Chapter 38. Keep Having Self-Respect

    Claire ended up not working. She went home with Jason while Gabriel met with the director. Jason pulled her into the car even though it was pouring rain, and during the ride home, the atmosphere in the car was quiet and somber. When they got home, without saying anything, Jason slammed the door, leaned back in the seat and smoked a cigarette.He and Claire were soaking wet.Claire followed him in, hugged herself from the cold, and said shakily, "You can say whatever you want, or you can punish me directly. There's no need to act like this," she said. She hated this silent treatment. Especially when she was cold and in pain.Jason's face darkened. It was frightening.Remembering his grandmother, Claire pursed her lips and asked, "Is Grandma okay?""Shut up! You don't deserve to ask about her!" Jason shouted angrily, then the wound on his chest started bleeding again. It kept bleeding because he was supposed to rest at home and not move around much, but today even the bandage was wet
