Another thing that surprised Claire was that Alex wasn't wearing his construction uniform today, instead he was wearing gray cloth pants, complete with a gray shirt and a long tie that hung over his broad chest.

Alex's appearance this time emphasized his good looks and authority.

But Graham's family didn't care, because they knew that Alex was just the son of a bankrupt billionaire who had nothing.

"Don't you dare hurt my wife!" Alex snapped, pointing his finger at Graham.

Then Alex walked over to Claire and pulled her around his waist to face him.

"Claire, are you okay?" Alex asked, but his eyes darkened when he saw the slap marks on both of his wife's cheeks.

"Shit!" Alex was too late.

"I'm fine. Alex, how did you know I was here?" Claire asked, her forehead furrowed in curiosity.

"That's not important. I'm sorry I'm late," Alex replied, his hand gently rubbing Claire's cheek.

Graham clucked. "No one invited you into my house! How dare you come in here and meddle in our affairs. You'

    "Mr. Knight, we have done what you told us to do. All investors who were working with Graham's Rose Company have ceased their cooperation," Vincent said from the other side of the phone.Meanwhile, Alex, standing at the window of his room, smiled with satisfaction.Graham had gotten his comeuppance for what he had done to Claire.It was clear that Alex would not let anyone who humiliated his wife live in peace without getting his comeuppance.A knock on the door distracted Alex. He saw Claire standing in the doorway with a cup of coffee."I brought your favorite coffee," Claire said, bringing it in and placing it on the table.Alex smiled. "Thank you." He quickly turned off his phone and slowly sipped his coffee while it was still hot."You're welcome.""Do you like coffee?" asked Alex.Claire looked up, looked at Alex and then nodded her head. "Not bad.""How about you drink coffee out of my mouth?" asked Alex, Claire's brow furrowed in confusion."What?"Without explaining anything,

    "Noah, Claire scratched my arm! She threw water in my face too. She just got mad because I said hi," Alice said, showing the red scratches on her arm. Claire's eyes widened at Alice's accusation. Neither did Jenny, who hadn't expected Alice to use such a manipulative act to back Claire into a corner."Claire! You're so wicked. How could you hurt your stepsister? She just wanted to say hello to you, but you hurt her instead," Noah growled, sending a sharp look at Claire, but his hands were still holding Alice's back from falling.Annoyed that Noah had fallen for Alice's lie, Jenny shook the table hard and then got up from her chair. "Are you so blind that you can't see who's wrong and who's right? Have you seen Claire? She's wet too because your actress girlfriend threw water in her face first!" Jenny pointed at Claire, who was indeed partially wet.Noah looked over as well, but Alice immediately whimpered and held her arm. "My arm hurts like hell. We better get out of here, Noah. I do

    Alice shook her head. "You're out of line, Claire. Forging the Emerald Hotel's VVIP card is a crime and could land you in jail.""Do you think the staff at the Emerald Hotel can be easily fooled with a forged card? They're not as stupid as you, Alice. If you don't believe me, please call the hotel staff and have them verify whether the card I'm holding is fake or real," Claire said, challenging Alice, who was still doubting herself.Everyone's mind was now thinking and confirming Claire's words.The Emerald Hotel was a high class hotel, of course they would check very carefully if someone showed a VVIP card."So are you now the mistress of this rich businessman with the VVIP card because you left your husband who can't support your lifestyle?" Alice asked calmly.This time Claire couldn't control her emotions and slapped Alice.Everyone's eyes widened. Noah, who didn't like his girlfriend being slapped, raised his hand to slap Alice back.However, Noah's hand was stopped by Claire's ha

    That's right, Mr. James. Claire was the one who started it all. She was just a poor girl who snuck into the Emerald Hotel with a forged VVIP card. By the way, Mr. James, my name is Tyas, I'm with the Royal Company. It's a pleasure to meet you in person." This time it was Tyas who spoke, her right hand extended to James, inviting a handshake.Claire stayed where she was, watching with disgust as these people insulted her and tried to make up false stories about her.James, on the other hand, clucked at Rachel's hand in disgust. He didn't even want to return the handshake.He said aloud. "I hesitate to associate with hypocrites like you. From now on, I hope you won't show your faces in my presence!" shouted James, shocking everyone there.Surprised by James' defensive attitude towards Claire, Alice frowned and dared to ask. "I'm sorry, Mr. James. But my stepsister is to blame. She started the whole mess. What the friends said is true. Claire got into this hotel with a forged VVIP card.

    Claire and James, who didn't care what Noah was doing, decided to sit at one of the tables in the restaurant and discuss Claire's design.Meanwhile, Alice, Rachel, and Tyas stared at Noah with curiosity.Noah was suddenly stunned when he heard Nova's words on the phone."What did you say, Mrs. Nova?! Mr. Knight won't come? How could he? We've been waiting for two hours. Didn't you say yesterday that Mr. Knight had already accepted my invitation?" Noah was in utter disbelief.He had spent all that time waiting for Mr. Knight.[Right. But Mr. Knight has changed his mind. He has more important things to do. And... in his opinion, your company is not qualified to work on the Golden Era project. Neither is the Rose Company] Noah's body froze. He couldn't believe what he had just heard.Seeing Noah frozen, Alice frowned. "Noah, what happened?" Alice asked Noah, who looked limp after the phone was turned off by Nova.Exhaling heavily, Noah wiped his face with the palm of his hand, then re

    "The fish is burnt," Alex commented as Claire served the charred fried fish on the dining room table.After they finished their fun in the kitchen, they cleaned up in the bathroom for half an hour, then when they returned to the kitchen, Claire gasped when she realized the fried fish was burnt.A charred smell filled the entire kitchen."You see, right, Alex? I told you not to tease me while I'm cooking." Claire's lips pursed.She looked adorable when she pouted, which made Alex happy to see her."I was. Don't pout! Seeing your lips pursed like that, I can't wait to kiss you again."Immediately, Claire stopped pursing her lips. "Don't even try. Right now my stomach is hungrier than what's under your stomach. If you don't find a solution, we'll eat this burnt fried fish for dinner."Alex almost burst out laughing at his wife's ramblings.Unexpectedly, it turns out that behind her gentle and caring nature, Claire can also sulk. Her puckered lips were actually endearing to Alex. "Okay,

    This weekend, Claire took Alex to the hospital to see her mother."My mom will be so happy to see us," Claire said as she walked into the hospital, holding Alex's arm.Alex smiled and nodded his head. "Yes. I'm sure she misses her only son-in-law a lot too." Alex's joke made Claire laugh. Just then, they ran into an administrator named Stella. Stella looked surprised to see Alex with Claire.Back then, Claire had asked Stella about the man who had paid her mother's hospital bill. But Stella couldn't answer, and now Stella saw that man standing next to Claire."Sir..." just as Stella was about to speak, Alex suddenly signaled with his eyes for silence.Understanding Alex's gesture, Stella slowly nodded, then looked down and walked past them as if she had never seen Alex before.Claire's forehead wrinkled at Stella's departure, however. Then her eyes looked at Alex with a curious expression."Why does that administrator seem to want to greet you?""What's wrong, Claire? Are you jealo

    Nancy? This name Alex would remember in his mind as the one who tried to cause trouble for his wife. Alex's blood immediately boiled over. His grip on Tom's shirt collar tightened even more, leaving Tom almost out of breath, but finally Alex released his grip with a rough motion.He took Claire's unconscious body into his arms.As he held Claire, Alex growled angrily and said. "I'm not going to kill you, but there is one condition..."***At the Graham home.Nancy laughed at the many bills she had spread out on the living room table.Alice was smiling too. There was an irresistible gleam of joy in her eyes."Mom, so you sold Claire to a mob boss?" asked Alice, looking both happy and surprised.Clutching the money to her chest, Nancy nodded. "That's right, dear.""But why did you do it?""Our company is unstable after many investors withdrew their cooperation with us. We need money to save the company. Isn't this the most appropriate way?"Alice nodded her head, then smiled. It was tr

    “You'll know after seeing my mom's room number.”Brant nodded obediently, not forcing Claire to tell him.Seeing that there were many nurses and doctors walking ahead, Claire immediately quickened her pace and deliberately caught Brant off guard.“Mrs. Knight?!” called Brant looking for Claire who had now disappeared in the blink of an eye just by overtaking several doctors and nurses who were walking in a hurry.Brant tried to find Claire, but he lost track.“Looks like Mrs. Knight doesn't want to be told by me. I have to tell Mr. Knight right away!” exclaimed Brant, taking his cell phone out of his pants pocket and putting it to his right ear.[Hello, what's up Brant?]“Hello, Mr. Knight. I'm sorry, I lost track of Mrs. Knight.”[What?! How could you?! Didn't I order you to stay with her?]“That's right, sir. I've been with her ever since. But Mrs. Knight walked qui

    “Alice, Daddy knows you are very smart and always reliable. Whatever your idea is, Daddy will support it. Let's do it together so that our house won't be seized and our family company will be safe.”“Daddy's sure, my idea is a bit outrageous, but after all, Daddy wouldn't let us live on the streets, right? It's for our own good.”“Don't hesitate to say it, Alice! It's okay. Papa will agree with your idea. Quickly tell us what idea you have?” asked Graham enthusiastically.Nancy nodded quickly. Her face looked just as curious as Graham's.“What if we...” Alice began to share an idea she had that would allow them to save the company and their home.Hearing that, big smiles spread across Graham and Nancy's lips.From the look on their faces, it seemed that Graham and Nancy were very much in agreement with the plan that their daughter had.***“What's Daddy calling me about?&rdq

    Alex leads Claire to the car.He opened the car door for Claire. Claire got inside and sat nervously on the passenger seat beside the driver's seat.The heat was running through her body. It felt like Claire wanted to take off her clothes right now and feel the touch of Alex's warm hands.Once inside the car, Alex immediately touched Claire's cheek and pulled her in so that he could kiss her lips gently.Claire enjoyed it. The influence of the drug made her sanity a little drained. Her hand unconsciously went to what was protruding under Alex's pants and caressed it.“You really can't stand it?” asked Alex, whispering in between his paused kisses.Claire's sad eyes implied resignation. Her head nodded slowly.“I can't take it anymore, Alex. Help me,” she whispered.Alex quickly took off the suit he was wearing, then threw it on the back seat.He opened his tie and shirt buttons one by one un

    “Noah. Don't do that to me! Don't you dare touch me! I don't want to! Let go of me, Noah!”“But unfortunately your body demands that I satisfy you because the medicine I mixed into your drink has already taken effect. So, you don't have to be embarrassed and hold back. I will help you fulfill your desire, Claire.”Claire's eyeballs widened. It turned out that all of this was really Noah's plan.Noah had organized everything carefully.“Come on Claire! Let's do the foreplay now. I can't wait to enjoy your beautiful body.” Noah unbuttoned his shirt one by one. Then he threw it in any direction.After that, Noah also took off his belt. While he looked at Claire who was silent. But sweat started to appear around her neck and forehead.Then Noah approached Claire again with his body almost naked. Only the triangular cloth wrapped around his waist.“Noah... Please let me go!” Claire whimpered.

    Meanwhile, Brant was watching Claire who was now hugging Jenny to give her a gift.The two friends were talking to each other and smiling widely.Unbeknownst to Brant, a waiter approached and poured a drink into his glass.Unsuspecting, Brant gulped down the drink until half was left.After a few minutes, Brant felt his eyes become heavy. He was very sleepy.“Why am I suddenly so sleepy?” he mumbled in wonder as he tried to widen his eyes so he wouldn't fall asleep.Eventually, Brant fell asleep in a sitting position with his head on the table.At the same time, Noah approached the table where Claire had been sitting.While Claire was busy chatting with Jenny, Noah was now pouring something into Claire's orange juice.Then his lips broke into a lopsided smile. “Tonight you must be mine, Claire. I'm sure Mr. Knight won't want you anymore after knowing I touched you,” Noah said and grinned.&

    “Alex, all this...” Claire couldn't continue her words because she was so moved.But at that moment Alex hugged her from behind and he whispered in Claire's left ear.“I decorated all of this,” Alex whispered, telling his wife that he was the one who had decorated their room to be as romantic as possible.Hearing Alex's answer, Claire raised one eyebrow.“You decorated it?”Alex nodded his head.“Yes. Do you like it, dear?” Alex asked Claire as he patted his wife's left shoulder.With her eyes glazed over, Claire then nodded her head and she still gazed fondly at the entire corner of her room.“Yes. I really, really, really like it. I didn't expect you to be so good at decorating this room. I didn't know you had a romantic side,” Claire replied.Alex laughed at his wife's words. He released his embrace and now turned Claire around and cupped his hands on her che

    Coming home from the mall, Claire was surprised to see her husband's car parked neatly in the front yard.Sure enough, her husband was home and greeted her at the doorway.“Alex? Are you home?” asked Claire, approaching Alex and pecking his right cheek.There were some groceries that Claire carried in her hand. Alex helped carry some of his wife's groceries. “I heard from Brant that you deliberately left the house without his knowledge.”Claire silently bit her lip. Alex's eyeballs glared at her sharply, making her stutter.“I just don't like-”“Don't like being watched?” guessed Alex.Claire nodded slowly.Alex let out a rough breath, then rubbed his face. “Claire, I hired Brant to have someone look after you when I'm not around. Besides, he can follow you from a distance if you feel uncomfortable.”Claire's head bowed deeply. Her hands gripped the strap of her grocery bag tightly.Her lips pursed. She had expected Alex to get angry if he found out she left without her bodyguard.“I

    After work, Claire went to the mall to buy some personal items.Alex couldn't accompany her because he had an important meeting with a client.Even so, Alex doesn't let his wife travel without security.He hired a bodyguard named Brant to guard and accompany Claire everywhere.However, Claire deliberately leaves the house quietly so that Brant won't follow her. Because she wanted to go shopping to the mall only accompanied by Jenny, who is her best friend.However, while she was busy shopping, Claire was visited by Noah, who approached her with a face full of regret. “Hi, Claire!” “You?!” squealed Claire, raising one eyebrow.Jenny snorted, folding her arms across her chest. “Stop bothering Claire! You dumped her a long time ago, so don't even try to get close to her!”“I have no business with you! My business is with Claire,” Noah snapped back, glaring at Jenny. Then Noah turned his gaze to Claire. His eyes, which used to stare resentfully at Claire, were now soft and regretful.

    “What about the thugs you sent to Graham's house? Did they do their job properly?” Alex asked Vincent over the phone. He asked in a whisper so as not to be heard by his wife who was currently getting a hair dryer from outside the room to dry her wet hair. [Everything is according to your orders, Mr. Knight. They destroyed things in Graham's house and threatened Alice and her mother. Unfortunately, Graham was not at home, so he did not receive any threats]“It doesn't matter. The important thing is that they've scared those two scheming women. I hope my warning will deter Alice and stop disturbing my household.”[Don't worry, Mr. Knight. If Alice dares to disturb your family, I will give her a heavier punishment] Vincent said like a loyal subordinate.At the same time, Claire came back into the room still with a white towel wrapped around her body. She glanced at Alex who was talking to Vincent on the phone.Claire only glanced at her husband for a moment, then she chose to continue
