Chapter 3818

Author: Lord Leaf
Meanwhile, Claire was preparing to eat lunch at the company.

As there were a lot of official duties and business at the company, Claire would usually not bother to go home to eat at noon. Instead, she would eat takeouts at the company because this would save her more than an hour.

She was just about to pick up her cell phone and order food when she received a phone call from Kathleen.

So, Claire picked up the phone and smiled as she said, “Miss Jane, what are your instructions for me?”

Kathleen said, “Claire, didn’t I tell you long ago not to call me Miss Jane? You can just call me Kylie.”

Claire laughed and said, “You’re my friend when it’s not working hours, but you’re my client when it comes to work and so, I must be polite to you.”

Kathleen laughed helplessly and said, “It’s already noon. Is it still working hours? Don’t you have lunch breaks at your company?”

Claire explained, “Other employees have lunch breaks, and our lunch break is for one and a half hours. However, for

    “Leave Aurous Hill?!”When Claire heard Kathleen’s question, she asked in disbelief, “Why do you want me to leave Aurous Hill?”Kathleen smiled and said, “Because Kelly and I would like to invite you to go abroad for a while.”“Go abroad? For a month?!” When Claire heard this, she quickly waved her hand and said awkwardly, “How could I have so much free time? I still have to manage and take care of the company, and I also have to take care of my family. I would still be able to force it and make time for it if I were to go out for three to five days, but a month is too long, and it cannot be done at all...”Kathleen had a serious expression as she said, “Claire, haven’t you heard people often say this? Time is like something a woman has... if you squeeze it, there will still be something...” Claire was a little embarrassed, and she touched her forehead as she said helplessly, “One month is really too long. Not to mention the fact that I do not have the time, but even if I did, I

    “Criticized?” Kelly said disdainfully, “Rhode Island School of Design originally gave me the authority to grant a special quota. This authority is given to me, and it is up to me to give it to anyone I want. Not to mention that your qualifications are not good enough, but even if it was someone who has not studied design at all, as long as I fill out her information and send it to the Rhode Island School of Design, this person can participate in the masterclass with integrity, and no one can say even one word about it!”After saying that, Kelly looked at Claire and said seriously, “Claire, you don’t have to have so many psychological burdens. There is such an opportunity right in front of you now, and as long as you nod your head, this opportunity will be yours.”Claire pursed her lips and asked with some difficulty, “Kelly... is what you’re saying... true?”At this time, Claire was still in disbelief deep down. Kelly spoke in a firm tone, “Of course, it’s true! Both Kylie and I f

    Kathleen’s words made Claire’s eyes light up immediately.She suddenly thought to herself, ‘Charlie usually has nothing important to do in Aurous Hill. He usually just helps some acquaintances take a look at their Feng Shui, so it shouldn’t be very important...’‘If I asked him to go to the United States with me, he will definitely have plenty of time to do so…’‘This way, I will not have to worry about being separated from him for too long…’Immediately after that, Claire thought of her parents, and she secretly thought, ‘Dad happens to be going to Korea soon for his exchange activities, and Mom’s leg is almost fully recovered. She should not have any problem being alone at home, and based on Mom’s personality, she should be happier living alone at home in such a big house.’As Claire thought of this, she felt that letting her husband, Charlie, head to the United States with her was definitely the best solution to this matter.So, she could not hold back her excitement any longe

    This made her run out in surprise and ask, “Dad, Charlie, where’s Mom?”Jacob grunted twice and casually said, “Your mother went for a facial with Hannah Queen.”“Huh?!” Claire was dumbfounded as she asked, “Since when did Mom start hanging out with Hannah Queen?”Jacob laughed and said, “Isn’t it because Wendy brought Hannah back the last time? Your mother fought with your grandmother in front of her house. Since then, the two daughters-in-law seem to have resolved two or three decades of conflicts. The both of them started chatting on WhatsApp for a few days, and it seem as though your mother gave Hannah a few tips to teach her how to deal with your grandmother. The both of them have become good friends ever since.”As Jacob spoke of this, he smacked his lips and said, “Tsk... Can you believe that the both of them have become good friends now?”Claire shook her head helplessly and smiled as she said, “Although it might sound strange, this is also a good thing. Mom usually does n

    After listening to Jacob’s words, Charlie really did not know whether he should laugh or cry.He could only patiently explain to Jacob, “Dad, it’s very difficult to calculate a person’s fortune simply by looking at the photo because the face is not just about facial features and appearance, but the whole person’s three-dimensional facial image. It’s only then that we can really see what is behind a person’s face.”Jacob could not understand him, and he asked, “Isn’t the so-called face reading just to look at a person’s appearance to know of a person’s general fortune? Look at how clear this photo is! It’s the official published ID photo.”Charlie asked helplessly, “Dad, not to mention anything else, you should have also heard of people saying something like a person’s face or something is black and thus, there will be a blood bath. However, take a look at this guy’s photo. The photography flash is hitting his face, and he looks even fairer than a Caucasian man. Even if there is real

    Elaine looked at Hannah and laughed as she said in a b*tchy manner, “Look, Sister-in-Law. He’s being so anxious just because I said a couple of words.”Hannah curled her lips and said disdainfully, “Isn’t that the nature and virtue of all the men in the Wilson family? They are slow to act, have small abilities, and possess a big temper!”Elaine clapped her hands and said excitedly, “Sister-in-law, you’re so right! Every word that you’ve just said is really true, and it really resonates deep in my heart.”Jacob felt his face burning and so, he stood up immediately and said to Claire, “Claire, you guys can order takeout. You don’t need to order for me.”Claire hurriedly asked, “Dad, what are you going to do?”Jacob said angrily, “I’m already full from anger and so, I’m going to go and lay down in my room and rest.”Claire was helpless and so, she could only say to Elaine, “Mom, why don’t you just stop saying anything else?”When Hannah saw that Claire could not stand it any longer

    When Charlie saw that Claire’s tone was very solemn, he spoke up and said, “Honey, tell us what it is you want to say.”Claire looked at her three closest family members and spoke up, “I have the opportunity to go to the United States to attend a masterclass at the Rhode Island School of Design. However, it will take more than a month before and after the completion of the class...”“What masterclass?” Elaine asked with a surprised expression, “What is it for?”Claire was just about to explain when Charlie, who was aside, said to Elaine, “Mom, the masterclass at Rhode Island School of Design is the Rhode Island School of Design that Claire yearns for the most. It is the best design school in the world.”Claire did not expect that her husband, Charlie, would actually remember her dream so clearly and so, she could not help but feel a surge of emotion in her heart. At this time, Charlie asked her again, “Claire, I remember hearing you talk about it before, and it seems as though th

    So, he asked Claire, “Honey, when will this masterclass of yours start?”Claire replied, “If I am sure to attend it, I will have to report to the school at the end of the month. The course will start officially on May 1st, and it will end on May 31st.”After Claire had said that, she added, “However, there will be a three-day salon after the course ends on May 31st, and I can leave the school when the salon is over.”Charlie could not help but sigh in relief when he heard this. Although going to the United States for more than a month was a long time, the good thing was that it would be at the end of the month. By then, the auction would have ended, and he would also be able to relax as he would have nothing else on hand.In Oskia, aside from the Wade family, there were also Emgrand Group, The Apothecary Pharmaceutical, and matters related to Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group.However, the good thing was that Charlie had people helping him take care of these companies. Moreover, L

    While Charlie was waiting for Claire at the airport, Jacob and Elaine were taken to the traffic police station.But even in the patrol car, Elaine did not stop lashing out at Jacob.As such, the traffic police had no choice but to call up another patrol car to bring them over separately.Charlie was hence left wondering what those two were up to this time as they were nowhere to be seen when Claire's flight was about to land and weren't answering his texts.Fortunately, Charlie never considered them reliable, so he was fine whether they showed up or not.If they did, they could all head home in the same car.If they didn't, he just had to take a cab home with Claire.It was past three when Claire's private jet landed, and Claire herself cleared the checkpoint in just half an hour, wheeling a trolley with her luggage.Seeing Charlie from afar, she couldn't help quickening her pace as she beamed.Charlie hurried toward her as well, and Claire shoved her trolley aside when they w

    However, to Jacob's shock, Elaine wasn't misled at all as she growled icily, "Why would I ask anyone else?! If there's someone I must question, it's Matilda! She's getting married, isn't she? Good! I will be there and ask her why she hooked up with my husband!"Jacob turned pale right then.Matilda's son and even some of their old classmates would be attending her wedding.If Elaine went, he would be exposed, and he wouldn't be able to stay in Aurous Hill out of shame!His nerves gnawing at him, Jacob could only plead, "Please, just trust me this once! Anything else aside, she's getting married, anyway—there's no way that I'd have anything to do with her! That alone should prove my innocence!"Elaine snorted. "If Matilda returned when I was arrested, it means she has been back for a while! And you're saying nothing happened since? Hell, even if she's married, it doesn't prove that she wasn't up to some hanky-panky with you! Maybe while I was arrested and refused a divorce when you

    The driver was left dumbstruck—this wasn't how it was supposed to go.Still, he blurted, "C-Crashing into a Cullinan? I might end up dead instead…""Fine! Then let's change cars, and you crash into ours—how about that?!" Elaine promptly retorted before continuing, "Or we could just stand right in front of your car while you run into us! I just happen to have a death wish, but if you don't kill me now, I'll kill you! Don't think about getting away either—I know your car plate! I'll sell this car and use the money to put a bounty on your head! I don't care what happens to me now! I'll claw my nails into the devil's face even if he shows up!"The driver was actually quite experienced, but even he had yet to meet someone as ridiculous as Elaine.Barely able to keep his hands steady, he threw them up as he apologized, "I'm so sorry, ma'am—I just lost my cool. I'm merely a humble driver of a Honda Civic while you own a Rolls. Hell, I spent fifty bucks buying that red emblem from Amazon,

    Elaine may have led a life as if she was above the rules, but beneath that tough exterior lay crippling insecurities and a horrific inferiority complex.She was always afraid of being belittled—but more than that, of being ostracized and betrayed.Over the years, the greatest source of her complexes could all be traced back to Matilda.After all, Matilda had been a star back in their school days. Because Elaine was a close friend of hers, many boys would get chummy with Elaine, but only because they were interested in Matilda.Being from a poor farmer's family, Elaine had been scorned plenty and therefore felt exceedingly inferior around Matilda.It was from that sense of inferiority that Elaine had inadvertently developed a one-sided rivalry against Matilda, and she believed her greatest triumph over Matilda in this life was the moment she had stolen Jacob from her.However, while Elaine presumed that she could hold that victory over Matilda's head, Lady Wilson had soured that v

    Moreover, given Elaine's ridiculous temper, Jacob knew she would definitely go overboard and destroy him.He wouldn't even have a place to live at that point, and it would really be game over if she held a grudge and stormed the Calligraphy and Painting Association!Under such circumstances, he couldn't ask for a divorce—hell, he might even refuse a divorce if Elaine asked for one!However, that was when Elaine laughed coldly. "Oh, my… You're really not going to divorce me?""Come on—how long were we married?" Jacob quickly reasoned. "Getting divorced at our age? People would laugh at us."Elaine scoffed. "Now I'm curious… Matilda's quite old too, and she's a divorcee marrying again. Won't people laugh at her?""Technically, she's a widow—"Jacob blurted out, but soon turned pale, tensing up again not a second after he had just calmed down, asking gingerly, "W-Why would you suddenly mention her?'Elaine stopped pretending right then and snapped, "It's actually impressive that y

    Horrified, Jacob promptly grasped the steering wheel and brought the Cullinan back under control while not hesitating to snap, "Are you crazy?! We're on the highway—that could have killed the both of us!"However, Elaine ignored him and seized the moment to open the armrest box, pulling out the large white envelope.As she opened it, she muttered, "So, it really was a wedding invitation… You really are a terrible friend, Jacob Wilson, hiding a wedding invitation like this! What's the point? Just look at that nervous face of yours—would I suspect you of having an affair with the bride-to-be?"She flipped open the card and was experienced enough to check the names first while disregarding the usual preamble. She wouldn't care about the venue or the time either, focusing solely on the professor who had somehow made Jacob very nervous.That was how Elaine found the names in less than a second: Yolden Hart and Matilda Hall.Matilda?!The name could well be knives stabbing Elaine in th

    Jacob's brain blanked out, leaving only a dull hum as soon as Walker mentioned 'Professor Hall'.Already feeling nervous in the first place, he quickly said, "Okay, okay—I got it. Anyway, I'm hanging up if there's nothing else!"With that, he promptly pressed the button to hang up.Nonetheless, Elaine was soon asking in curiosity, "Who's Professor Hall?"If Jacob had any semblance of composure, he would have said 'a colleague at Senior University' as if it was perfectly natural, and the matter would have been forgotten.But the reality was that he didn't—in fact, he was the champion when it came to dropping the ball as a casual question from Elaine left him sweating all over his brow.Even as he slid nervous glances at her face, he stammered uncontrollably, "N-Nobody…"Elaine promptly noticed his strange reaction and frowned. "I'm talking about Professor Hall. What do you mean, nobody? Who are they? And what's this about an invitation? Inviting you for what?"Seeing that he was

    Jacob had really had too much to drink and couldn't remember the later parts of what had happened last night—even how he had gotten home was a blur.Naturally, he also forgot that Walker had brought Matilda's wedding invitation, and therefore didn't hesitate to answer the in-car answer button.Over the phone, Walker was positively fawning as he asked, "Mr. Wilson? It's Walker. Why didn't you come in today? Had too much to drink last night?""Uh-huh," Jacob grunted, lethargic. "I did—my head still hurts now… Anyway, what's up? Trouble at the association?""No, of course not," Walker quickly said. "I was just worried you're still hungover, so I called to ask. If you need a driver or anything, you just need to ask!"Then, before Jacob could answer, he continued, "By the way, my wife is somewhat knowledgable in Oskian medicine, and she has recipes for brews that cure hangovers and nourish the liver. I'm sure you'll need the latter since you're always drinking at social events, so I as

    Fortunately, Elaine and Jacob's bickering never escalated.Even though Elaine was winning, Jacob found it tolerable.After Jacob finished his lunch and cleaned up, he never looked up as he said, "Charlie sent a text, saying Claire's flight would touch down earlier at three. We will leave at two."Elaine grumbled. "Why leave so early? She's coming back from abroad, and there'd be checkpoints she has to clear—she'd be lucky if she could leave by half past three. I'm sleeping a few winks now, and we'll leave at half past two."As she left the dining room, she didn't even look back as she said, "Clean up for me too."Jacob had a million complaints but said nothing as he kept his head down, throwing Elaine's lunchbox in the trash can as well.With Elaine gone, he sat on the couch as her hangover slowly cleared while his mood soured with the lack of alcohol.In the end, the pleasure of being fawned over at the Diamond Room was but temporary—the pain of his beloved leaving with someone
