The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 14 How Could She Have Been so Blind
Since Javier wasn’t willing to help, she would have to rely on herself. She would definitely get Ollie back. She wasn’t going to let her father have his way. Steeling her heart, Claire swiftly left Marquez Group.Returning to the Weiss’ villa, she secretly entered through the backyard, careful to not be spottedby the surveillance cameras.This villa was the first place she could think of to search for Ollie. If her father had really brought Ollie here, she would take Ollie away in secret after finding him and never return.However, she couldn’t find any signs of Ollie after searching high and low.Could it be that he wasn’t here?Claire frowned, but before she could think deeper about it, she heard a delicate voice say, “Damn, I feel so tired.”It was Chantelle!Claire was startled and quickly hid behind a potted plant. Using the leaves to cover herself, she peeked through them and could clearly see Chantelle and Armand slowly walking in her direction.“Why don’t we go back an

The doorman was hesitant at first but conceded in the end due to Claire’s persistence.And thus, she successfully entered the hotel.Claire discreetly breathed a sigh of relief.“Are you sure you want to apply for the attendant role?” The hotel manager, Theresa, looked her up and down. Her tone was doubtful. This was because Claire was fairly young and had an excellent disposition, so it was a bit of a waste for her to be an attendant.Claire noticed Theresa’s uncertainty and swiftly put on a sincere attitude, replying in a resolute tone, “Yes, I am.”Worried that Theresa was still doubtful, Claire began sharing her previous work experience when she was abroad. “Not only was I an attendant overseas, but I’ve also worked as a hotel manager. I’ve experienced all sorts of difficulties that come with this line of work, so rest assured, I won't disappoint you.”Back then, when she was sent out of the country, she had taken on all sorts of odd jobs in the first year in order to survive

How could she get into the room? Claire frowned in distress.It was at that moment that an attendant pushed a food cart past her.A bright idea came to Claire’s mind, and she strode forward. Snatching the cart away, she smiled at the dumbfounded attendant and said, “Here, let me.”“Who are you?” the attendant questioned as she didn’t recognize her at all.“You don’t know who I am?” Claire asked, widening her eyes and pretending to be surprised before sighing helplessly. “That makes sense. This hotel is so large and has so many employees. It’s possible for everyone to not be acquainted with each other.” She then quickly said, “Why don’t you take a break? I’ll handle this.”“But—” Before the attendant could say what was on her mind, Claire cut her off. “Don’t worry, we should help take care of each other seeing as we’re colleagues. I notice that you have very dark circles, probably from a lack of proper rest. So why don’t you take this opportunity to get some?”“Dark circles?” th

Javier’s handsome features twisted into a grimace of pain. He was caught off guard by Claire’s sudden attack. Claire gasped in surprise. With a final heave, she managed to push him away with all her might. “I’m so sorry, Mr. Marquez!” Giving a hurried apology, she made her escape. After a few minutes, Javier managed to compose himself. He sat up on the bed, his eyes burning with anger. That damned woman! He was going to get her and make her pay for what she had done to him!With narrowed eyes, he tried to recall what she was wearing. If he wasn’t mistaken, the woman was dressed as a room attendant. As Javier thought of that, he went to the door and opened it. The two bodyguards standing guard outside nodded when they saw him. “Mr. Marquez.” “Did you see the woman who just left?” Both of them glanced at each other and replied simultaneously, “Yes, sir.” “Great.” Javier narrowed his eyes coldly. “Bring her back to me!” After Claire managed to leave the room, she escap

Ollie pouted ruefully at the question. “It’s Bad Aunty! She’s the one who locked me up. She doesn’t want me to meet Mommy, so she’s been keeping me in here. Besides, she also threatened me saying if I’m naughty, the two men will beat me up!” Ollie pointed an accusing finger toward the two men. “There they are. They’re bad people, just like Bad Aunty!” Javier frowned and shot them a cold look. When the two men saw this, they quickly averted their gaze in fear. “But I’m not scared!” Ollie put on a brave smile, wiping away the sadness from his face. “Because I knew Dad would definitely come and save me!” Ollie wrapped his arms around Javier’s neck and snuggled into him affectionately. Javier was unexpectedly moved by Ollie’s childlike words. The ice around his heart melted inexplicably.Taken aback, the bodyguards noticed that Javier did not shy away from Ollie’s touch. Besides that, the frigid atmosphere around their boss seemed a little warmer than usual. It was the first time

A sleep-deprived Claire reported to work at the hotel early the next day wearing a pair of sunglasses. She couldn’t sleep at all last night as she felt as though she was going out of her mind with worry without Ollie by her side.She had to rescue Ollie today no matter what.Theresa looked at Claire with newfound respect upon seeing that she was early for work. “She sure is a hardworking young woman,” she thought.“One of our staff who’s usually stationed at the top floor just resigned a few days ago, so you’ll be taking over from him. The guests on that floor are VIPs, so please be careful not to offend them, alright?”Theresa signaled for Claire to follow her once she finished speaking. The reason for this arrangement was because their VIP guests tended to be eccentric or have volatile tempers, and Claire’s agreeable temperament should work to her advantage when dealing with them.Claire nodded and followed Theresa into the elevator, secretly delightedTheresa left immediately

Claire’s surroundings appeared dark as she had a cloth over her head; all she knew was that she was being led to a remote location. Her heart grew more and more anxious as time passed, and she desperately kicked the room door with her unbound legs. However, the door stayed closed.After struggling for quite some time, she finally heard the door open and vaguely saw outlines of a few large men entering the room.The cloth on her head was removed and she was immediately blinded by the sudden increase in brightness. Claire glared fiercely at the people before her once her eyes had gotten use to the light again.“Let me go right now, Chantelle! I’ll make you pay if anything happens to Ollie!” she said, all while attempt to break free of her bonds; her face flushing from the effort.“I think you should just wait here obediently for Javier to come rescue you. You both are husband and wife; surely he won’t forsake you if he cares about you, am I right?” Envy flashed across Chantelle’s eye

The rumors had spread almost overnight. Everyone was shocked to learn Javier had a son, especially since he was renowned for his abstinence and avoiding all forms of intimacy with women. Around the same time, Javier’s parents heard the news. However, they found it laughable. As much as they dreamed of having grandchildren, they knew their unapproachable son would never fulfill their wish. Little did they know their housekeeper would soon show them a secretly taken photo of Javier and a young boy with puppy dog eyes. What shocked them more was the resemblance between Javier and the boy. Right away, Javier’s parents shot to their feet, every muscle in their bodies tensing up as they found the situation odd. It was natural for Javier himself to catch wind of those rumors. The only difference was he was unperturbed by the news; after all, he had never cared for unimportant things like gossip and how others perceived his life. Despite that, Javier’s temples inevitably throbbed as he looke

Hattie looked extremely sincere in her pleading. However, when Sofia did not answer or even look at her, she began to lose confidence. Sofia's face was impassive. "Hattie, I've known you since you were a baby, but I can't help you with this. Please leave." She did not want to discuss the other stuff with her yet.However, Hattie was obstinate. She looked at her with tears in her eyes. "Aunt Sofia, please, please help me. I know it's not much trouble for you, but it can save our entire family. You've always been so kind to me. I promise that the Snyder family will repay you for your kindness!"Hearing this, Sofia felt uncomfortable. She raised her head and gazed at her coldly. "In this case, Hattie, I'll tell you why I won't help you," she said impatiently. "Do you really not know what you've done? I won't say it, but I know exactly what you've done to Ollie. You deserve everything that's happening to you now."Hattie widened her eyes, partly in shock and partly in disbelief when she h
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 912 I Will Repay You
Javier paused outside the door and waited until Claire left before giving his subordinates a look. They understood perfectly and grabbed Chantelle at once.As Javier had ordered, they were to send this woman abroad as far away as possible and leave her to fend for herself.Outside the hotel, Claire looked up at the sky blankly. She felt like a huge burden had been taken off her shoulders; for the first time in a long time, she felt relieved of all the hurt that she had suffered five years ago. Turning back, she told Javier, "Thank you, Javier, for allowing me to face my fears. I feel so relieved now."Javier's expression fell when he heard her thank him. He tapped her on the nose fondly in exasperation. "What are you talking about? Of course, I won't let those who hurt you get off so easily. They have to pay for what they have done."Claire was touched to see him so protective of her. A surge of warmness spread in her chest as she gazed at him fondly. "I'm lucky to have you, Javier."T
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 911 Disappointed
That was all Armand could think of.In just a few minutes, Chantelle admitted to everything she had done to Claire over the past few years.From drugging Claire out of jealousy and getting a stranger to assault her to getting Liam to banish her abroad, she admitted to everything. Claire knew some of them, but not all; only now did she know the extent of her crimes.When she was finished, everyone in the room sported conflicting expressions. Liam looked especially hurt and remorseful. It turned out that his younger daughter had always been evil, and he had wrongfully blamed Claire for all these years.Armand, on the other hand, didn't know how to feel about all this. He glanced at Claire and Javier. He felt that he really didn't deserve Claire, after all he had done. He had thought Chantelle to be kind and naive and had trusted her blindly to the point that he almost married her.Thank goodness the wedding didn't happen. Even so, he had lost Claire thanks to this. It made him regret eve
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 910 Hard to Avoid
If Chantelle told Claire the truth about what happened that night, then there would be nothing stopping her from having a happily-ever-after with Javier.Back then, driven by jealousy, she had drugged Claire and put her in Javier's bed without their consent. She had planned all of this out herself meticulously. She had gotten Armand to catch Claire in the act so that he would call off the engagement and be with her instead. Liam banished Claire abroad to fend for herself. However, if she had known that the random stranger she had arranged to assault Claire was Javier, she never would've done it.Even so, it was a perfect plan worthy of a blockbuster film. Claire and Javier never found out the truth, nor did they know that Ollie was actually Javier's son.It took them two years of skirting around each other only to find out that they were meant to be in the first place. Now that the truth was out, Claire would not settle for prison as a punishment for the cause of all her suffering. Sh

After a lot of persuasion, Claire and Sofia finally managed to get Ollie to agree to stay in the hospital for another three days.Of course, three days weren't enough. Sofia and Pedro tried everything they could to convince Ollie to stay in the hospital for as long as possible.However, Ollie was smart enough to see through their ruse. He felt guilty when he saw them trying to cajole him into staying, so one day, after another attempt, he spoke up hesitantly, "Grandma, Grandpa, I'm glad that you're trying to keep me happy, and I'm touched that you're concerned about me, but I've been in the hospital for too long and it's making me sad. I promise that I'll listen to the doctor even when I'm at home, okay?" Under his bright, clear gaze, Sofia's protests died in her throat, leaving only exasperation and wordless sorrow.Ollie was too mature for his age. How could they not love him?Therefore, Ollie got his wish and was discharged three days later. In order to take care of Ollie, Sofia an

Hearing this, Javier narrowed his eyes. He felt like he was on the verge of grasping something, but the feeling passed too quickly for him to register it. Softening his tone, he said, "There's no need to be scared, Ollie. We're all right here with you. We'll protect you no matter what happens. Can you tell me what you remembered?"Ollie might have regained his memories from before he'd been drugged.Buoyed by the encouragement, Ollie thought hard for a moment and said with a frown, "I … I remember a lady beating me. She locked me up and didn't let me eat anything while saying bad things about me and Mommy all the time. I wanted to fight back, but I was too weak. After I tried to run, she caught me and beat me up some more and forced me to eat food off the floor." Toward the end of this, Ollie burst into tears.Claire's heart hurt for him. She wanted to hug him, but Javier got there first."Tell me, Ollie, do you know her name?" Javier's voice was thick with tears as well. "Do you remem
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 907 Scared
With that, Henry threw a glance at the rest of the employees and hurried them out. He also dragged Raina and Thomas out with him, leaving only Claire and Javier's parents to keep him company.Since it was only a small procedure for Javier, he did not get a lot of anesthesia. He tried to wriggle his body a little. Realizing what he was doing, Claire quickly helped him sit up.Javier did not look like he had just come out of surgery. Thanks to his strong physique, he looked fine.Seeing this, Sofia finally eased up a little on her worries. "How are you feeling, Javier?"Javier shook his head. "I'm fine, Mom. I just need some rest. How about Ollie? Did they say when he'll wake up?" He already knew that the surgery was a success, so he wanted to know when he would be able to see Ollie."Randy said that Ollie will be out for some time, but he's fine," Claire replied. Javier nodded. He, too, finally eased up on the tight knot of worry that was weighing his chest.Once he was sure that Javie

The surgery took three hours.As time went by, Claire got more and more anxious. However, there was nothing she could do but wait.In the end, Sofia was the first to crack. She went up to Claire and said anxiously, "Claire, are you sure that Dr. Xenos is good? It's been three hours, why aren't they out yet? I have a bad feeling about this."Claire wasn't exactly relaxed either, but she didn't show it. She gathered her thoughts and comforted Sofia. "Everything will be fine, Mrs. Marquez. Randy is a well-known surgeon, I'm sure he knows what he's doing. Don't worry." She wanted to reach out to comfort her, but in the end, she just sat there with an awkward expression. This was probably how their relationship would be in the foreseeable future—awkward and distant.Pedro watched their interaction with an air of knowingness. "Stop crying, Sofia," he said. "They're fine, you don't have to cry about them. Claire's still pregnant, don't upset her."Sofia was about to get angry about his admoni
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 905 Wouldn't Be Able to Bear It
At that, Javier narrowed his eyes dangerously.The Weiss family wasn't in a stable condition right now, so it wouldn't be hard for him to take revenge on Claire's behalf. Now that he knew the truth of what had happened, he had to find a way to punish the perpetrators.The news that Ollie was Javier's biological son quickly spread, especially after Sofia held a party in celebration. In fact, it made headlines the day before Ollie's scheduled surgery.Javier wasn't surprised about it. He had been looking for an opportunity to announce it to the public so that there wouldn't be unsightly rumors that would affect Claire. Claire, on the other hand, felt a little uncomfortable about the announcement. After all, she had always been a private person; she didn't want anyone to disturb her peaceful life.After a while, though, she got used to it.The most important contributor to this was that it benefited Ollie. From now on, he wasn't a fatherless child anymore. He could tell anyone who would l
