Calvin looked at Claire, stunned. This woman looked like the woman in the photo Jason had put in his diary, and Calvin had seen that photo.

'Could she be my mother?' Calvin thought. He was excited by the thought and immediately ran towards Claire.

Claire looked at him in surprise and she unconsciously stepped back. She refused to be approached. "Who are you? Why are you here?" She had no idea where this little boy came from or how they ended up in Jason's house.

"Madam, do you know my mother? Where is she?" Calvin asked eagerly.

Claire was silent for a moment, not understanding his question. "I don't know your mother or father. But why are you here? Who brought you here?"

Calvin was a bit disappointed.

Kimberly replied, "This is our home," she said, "and... why did my father imprison you here?"

Claire was too surprised to hear her answer.

Father? Their father was Jason? Jason had kids that age? Even two?

She held back her shock and asked in a trembling voice just to be sure: "Your fa

    "Jason, calm down, Claire won't hurt Calvin and he won't be able to escape. Trust me," Mandy said, trying to calm her cousin. Jason frowned at her, "What do you mean?" Mandy replied, "Laura told me she has a special contract with Claire." "Special contract?" "Yes, she is her assistant." Jason already knew that, but now he looked at her and waited for her to continue. "If Laura fires her first, she will have to pay a large fine, and if Claire resigns, she will have to pay Laura a large sum as well. Because of this contract, Claire will eventually return to Laura to continue her work as her assistant, and you can easily find her." "Who could make such a strange contract, are these two people related?" As an actress, it was a bit strange that Luara would ask a lawyer to draw up such a contract. Mandy shook her head, "I don't know who did it, I asked Laura once, but she couldn't explain it. She just said that her boss asked her to sign it." "Her boss?" Jason muttered

    Calvin looked around the room as Claire cleaned the house. "There's a painting just like this in my father's room," he said as he saw a painting of a woman's back on the beach watching the sunset. Surprised, Claire stopped abruptly. When they got married, Claire had nothing to give Jason, so she gave him the painting. She hadn't expected Jason to keep it. Maybe he wanted to relive his hatred by keeping the painting. There was no other reason. "Ah, it smells good." Calvin said happily as the smell of food wafted from the kitchen. Claire just remembered that she had to wait for the food to cook while she cleaned the house. So, without responding to Calvin's words about the painting, she went to the kitchen and brought the food to the table. "This is the best meal I've ever had." Satisfied, Calvin ate heartily as soon as Claire served him. Claire looked at him with mixed feelings, but also a little sad. If her son were still alive, he would probably enjoy the food she had

    Claire's eyes widened in shock. He kissed her? But why? Didn't he hate her? She struggled to recover from the shock until Jason finally let go of her, but he rested his head on her shoulder and didn't move. Then he fell to the floor. Claire pulled herself together and looked at her ex-husband. He was really drunk. Claire smiled contemptuously. "He kissed me, must have been because he thought I was Alice," she muttered, deciding to leave the man on the floor and go into her room. She paused at the door for a moment, then looked back at her ex-husband and thought, "If Jason freezes to death tonight, my revenge will be complete. And there will be no more people to threaten me." But... She looked at Calvin, who was sleeping on the bed, and then doubt began to creep into her heart. Kimberly and Calvin were two good children. They would be very sad to lose their father. After all, she still had to prove her innocence to this cruel man, so she couldn't die. After a whi

    Had he really forgotten Alice? If so, whom did he love? Thinking about it, Claire shook her head. It was not her business now. She had been worried the whole morning. But luckily Jason didn't come. Maybe he was resting at home because he drank a lot of alcohol last night. At least when Laura finished her work in the afternoon, Claire wouldn't have to come here again. It was also unlikely that she would run into Jason. While she was thinking about that, she ate heartily, since she didn't have breakfast at home. Suddenly, the director rushed over and said to Laura, "I have news for you." Claire continued to eat because what the director said was mostly none of her business. "Laura, you will be playing the female supporting role from today," the director said again. Claire was very surprised. She immediately spit out her food and coughed. Laura was going to play the second female role? So she has to come to the set every day, and that means the chances of Claire meetin

    "Claire, hurry and leave before Jason scolds you. He hates you now more than ever. He even said that you should have died 5 years ago, you shouldn't have come back to life," Mandy said as if she felt sorry for Claire. Claire originally thought that she couldn't feel sad anymore because of that man. She was already numb. But after hearing Mandy's words, she couldn't help but feel depressed. She laughed, "If he wants, he can make me die again, I don't care." "Claire..." Mandy was really in a hurry, "Jason's hatred for you has never changed, why do you defy him and hope instead? Hurry and leave before he comes." Mandy's words pierced Claire's heart. The man she loved wanted her dead. She remembered well the last words she heard before she passed out in the fire five years ago. That Jason had set the fire on purpose to kill her, right? How tragic. Mandy looked into Claire's eyes and said, "Let's go quickly. You're lucky to have survived, so it's better to go so he can't hurt you

    "Claire!" Madison screamed in shock as her friend suddenly vomited fresh blood. But it also startled Jason. He hugged Claire and said worriedly, "You... what happened to you?" Claire looked at Jason and tried to smile. Her face was pale, and there was still blood at the corner of her mouth that made others panic. "I'm going to die... Jason. Now... are you happy?" Jason shook his head and started to say something, but Claire slowly closed her eyes as she lost consciousness. Madison cried, and as Mandy went to find a doctor, Jason picked up Claire and rushed to the emergency room. The emergency lights came on and Jason was asked to wait outside. Mandy pulled Jason into a chair and he sat down. Then she comforted him, "Jason, Claire is going to be fine. Don't worry." Jason didn't say anything. He looked at the blood stains on his shirt and was suddenly afraid. No one knew the fear that was in his heart. He looked so calm, but his trembling hands said it all. Madison was

    Madison kept banging on the gate, screaming Jason Bradford's name.She screamed for over an hour with no one answering until the guards finally kicked her out.She cried in despair.Besides, she had seen how he treated her friend that day, Jason hated Claire so much and even wished her dead, there was no way he would be willing to save her.It was simply impossible.She thought she shouldn't have come here to beg that cruel man.At the window on the second floor of the mansion, Mandy looked toward the gate and saw Madison leaving.

    Seeing that Jason was watching Calvin, Arthur shook his head and hesitated for a moment before saying, "If possible, maybe you should actually bring Mrs. Wynne back.""No way!" Jason gritted his teeth.Arthur said hastily: "But Calvin's health is very important. We all know that his health is very poor, and it is rare that he likes someone as much as he likes Mrs. Wynne."This time a hint of doubt appeared between Jason's furrowed brows.Arthur continued hastily: "What if I told the guards to find Mrs. Wynne's whereabouts and then ask her to come home?""No." Jason clenched his fists. "I'll see her myself!"* * *At home, after going through so much suffering and having to take quite a lot of medicine in a single day, Claire's condition finally began to improve.Madison didn't know either, but somehow the hospital called Claire's cell phone and offered her treatment.

    “Mandy was curious about the wound on your head, so I told her about it,” Claire said. Seeing Jason’s slightly pained expression, she gave him a bright smile. “So? Should I explain it in more detail?”Jason’s voice turned hoarse. “You know… if you say something, you better be ready to take responsibility.”Claire looked into his eyes, a bit panicked, but she just turned her face away without saying anything.They left after that. Jason sat in the front seat next to Paul, who was driving, while Claire and Mandy sat in the back.The villa where Grandma lived was surrounded by mountains and a river. When they arrived, Claire breathed in the fresh mountain air.She thought it would be nice to stay here for the rest of her life. But was that even possible? And more importantly, would she have enough time to prove her innocence?While Claire was cooking in the kitchen, she also made herself some tea and felt at peace.

    That afternoon, Theo came by again and handed Claire two boxes of medicine.After taking the meds, Claire walked out to the backyard and ran into Jason. She didn’t even look at him, as if he wasn’t there. But Jason grabbed her wrist and looked at Theo."What did you give her?"Before Theo could answer, Claire said coldly, "Just some vitamins." Then she pulled her hand away and walked off without looking back."You came all the way here just to give her vitamins?" Jason asked Theo again.Theo chuckled. "Not really. She said she wasn’t feeling well and asked me to bring some. But I also came to report on Grandma’s health," he lied.---Back in her room, Claire looked at the medicine and found a note: (You need to take both types of medicine together. Only once a day, or skip it if you’re not feeling any symptoms.)Seeing the note, Claire smiled. Theo really was a good guy.The medicine worked. Her pain eased within an hour. Since Jason had left with Theo, she reached out to Paul.When P

    Jason pulled Claire into his office. He grabbed her collar and cornered her.“What did Gabriel give you? Or is he just that good in bed that you're this loyal to him and willing to admit to everything just to protect him? Tell me!”Claire let out a mocking laugh.“I already told you he’s not the one who did it. Why are you so set on ruining someone who’s done absolutely nothing to you?”“Then why are you protecting him like this, without caring about your reputation, my reputation, or even DA Group?” Jason gritted his teeth like she had betrayed him.Seeing how furious he was, Claire just laughed harder, even to the point of tears.“Why would this ruin your reputation? I admitted he’s just Chloe’s assistant and servant. Chloe’s not your wife. This shouldn't affect your image at all,” she said. “But fine, no matter what I do, I’m always wrong in your eyes. If I admit it, I’m wrong. If I don’t, I’m still wrong. You’re right, I’m still cruel. I’m sorry—will that be enough?”“Claire!” Jas

    "Guess what I'm gonna do at the press conference?" Jason said, a sly edge to his voice.Claire turned to him, brows furrowed. "What?"Jason pressed his lips together, then said each word slow and cold, "Gabriel’s taking the fall for this. No matter what."Claire stiffened. "What are you talking about?""He's the reason this mess started," Jason snapped. "He used my wife's name to stir things up. You think I'm just gonna let that slide?""It’s not clear yet who's really behind it," Claire argued, her voice sharp. "You can’t just accuse people without proof."Jason’s hands curled into fists. "I don’t care. As far as I’m concerned, he’s guilty.""Jason ...""Get out."Claire glared at him, hurt flashing in her eyes, but she spun around and walked out without another word.Behind her, glass shattered against the wall. She paused for half a second, heart racing... but didn’t look back.Jason had lost it. Completely. No matter how much she did for him, it was never enough.What else did he

    "What’s your plan for the press conference later, sir?" Paul asked.Jason frowned and stayed quiet for a moment. "I’m going to tell everyone that Chloe is my wife. Claire has been using Chloe’s name.""You can’t do that," Mandy cut in. "Your rivals have been waiting for a chance to drag your name — and the company — through the mud. If you admit she’s your wife, they’ll jump at the chance to call her a cheater with Gabriel."Paul didn’t agree either, but he stayed silent.Jason let out a low grunt. "I want to make Claire’s identity clear so nobody dares to spread baseless rumors anymore.""Even if the press holds back, people will still gossip," Mandy said sharply. "You should say that Chloe did this for Gabriel, that she was just lying — pretending to be Claire because they look alike. Besides, you already told everyone she was just a maid. If you suddenly claim she’s your wife, it’ll sound like you’re contradicting yourself. The media will tear you — and DA Group — apart.""Stay out

    Jason immediately signaled his servant not to make a sound, but Claire woke up anyway. She sat up half-conscious and didn't notice that Jason was holding her hand. She asked Jason curiously, "What's wrong?" Jason pulled his hand away from Claire and looked away, "Nothing." Claire looked at her own hand, then at Jason's cold expression, then stood up, "Hey, listen, it's not me holding your hand, it's you. You think of me as Alice again." Jason was not satisfied with her explanation. He snorted, but didn't speak, and Claire didn't want to explain any more. Looking toward the door, Claire noticed that the waiter had just put breakfast on the coffee table, and she suddenly felt very hungry and wanted breakfast. "I'll change the bandage after breakfast," she said, then took Jason's breakfast and put it on the nightstand while she ate it on the coffee table. Jason looked at the breakfast, which was the same every day, and thought about the pasta Claire had made for Theo yesterda

    "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
