The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 157 I’ll Get Justice for You
Morrow’s behavior throughout the entire car ride perplexed both Thomas and Raina who were sitting in the backseat. He kept trying to strike up a conversation with Claire and was constantly looking for a common topic to discuss.It looked like their boss really did have an interest in Claire—what were they to do?In the end, Morrow still did as Claire requested and reduced his driving speed.“Didn’t we agree to have a meal together the other day, Ms. Weiss? How could you leave on your own after going to the washroom? Isn’t that rather improper of you?” he asked, trying to start another conversation.Claire could feel a headache manifesting itself but could only bear with it and respond, “I had something urgent to attend to that day and didn’t have enough time to inform you before I left.”Her perfunctory response only further reinforced his idea that she was intentionally playing hard to get and a pleased smile appeared on his face.He was actually quite a handsome man and would b

Eida then pulled Thomas in the direction of the changing room.Thomas was stunned into a daze and could only look at Claire for help.Likewise, Claire too was stunned and didn’t understand what Eida was thinking. Clearing her throat awkwardly, she asked, “Erm, Eida, you haven’t told us what it is you intend to do?”“I’m going to do his makeup, of course! His excellent features provide the perfect opportunity for me to demonstrate my abilities, he’ll stun the crowd once I’m done with him. His makeup artist isn’t here yet, right? Just leave him to me.”“Well then, sorry to trouble you, Edia,” Claire said immediately, pleasantly surprised.“No trouble at all,” Eida replied with a casual wave of her hand. “It’s something I should do for my employer’s wife.”Her statement took everyone aback in an instant, Thomas and Raina were especially surprised.Did she just say “wife”? Claire was married?Claire immediately laughed and tried to cover up the situation. “Wife? That’s a good joke,

At the same time, photos of each character’s makeup test had also been uploaded to the movie’s official Twitter page. Aside from the main character, Thomas’ character, Percy Drake, was also popular.Thomas already had a regal air about him but with the addition of his character’s makeup, which gave him the appearance of a prince, he garnered even more fans over a short period of time.Countless comments were being left online about his killer looks and about how he was beautiful enough to even be envied by the female population.“Dear God, Thomas just took my breath away. I think I’m falling for him, and I’m a guy.”“You don’t have a chance of being with him, Thomas is undoubtedly straight.”David’s face grew darker and darker as he browsed through the content relating to Thomas and the pre-filming press conference as well as the online comments.This was especially so when he saw how devastatingly handsome Thomas looked, which made his intent to have Thomas all to himself grow s

The interior of the restaurant was tastefully decorated. Claire, Thomas, and Raina sat down in a secluded room after entering the restaurant.“Order whatever you want, it’s my treat today.” Claire offered generously as she handed them a menu each.Raina let out a small cheer. Nothing beat being able to eat good food when it came to a foodie like her.Even Thomas seemed to have been infected by Raina’s energy as he ordered a few of his favorite dishes.A server appeared with their food not long after. “The food here is pretty good, you’ve got good taste, Raina.” Claire praised after taking a few bites.“Of course! My taste buds are very picky, Claire.”Claire nodded her head in agreement, appreciating the rare moment of harmony.“Raina has good taste indeed, but we have to thank you too, Claire. Thank you for helping me get to where I am today and also for finding someone as capable as Raina to help me,” Thomas toasted, raising his glass of red wine.Claire also raised her glass

In the blink of an eye, the sun was already setting. Checking the time on her watch, Claire realized it was about time for her to get off work and pick Ollie up.She settled the last piece of work on her agenda for the day before nodding her head satisfactorily and then addressing her coworkers.“Don’t go back too late all of you. I’ll be taking my leave first. Call me if there’s anything urgent,” she said softly to avoid being disruptive.“Will do, Claire, just leave it to us.”“You’re pretty busy, right? Go ahead and head off first, we’ll hold down the fort.”Her coworkers responded understandingly, which touched Claire. She thanked them and then grabbed her bag to leave.However, someone blocked her way just as she reached the building doors, and that someone was none other than Morrow.She had intentionally left the office quietly earlier to avoid him finding out. Why did it seem as though he was haunting her like a ghost?Rolling her eyes, she thought that he must be from

“If you still refuse, then I will use my authority as your boss to fire you,” Morrow threatened. Claire looked him in the eyes as she mentally calmed herself down. “He’s just a hedonistic playboy, it’s not worth getting worked up over someone like him. Just breathe and bear with it. Inhale. Exhale.” “What’s wrong? Got nothing to say?” He couldn’t resist feeling smug upon seeing her pallid complexion. “Hmph, I didn’t think this day would come,” he thought. “Shouldn’t you let me meet this new talent first?” She decided to concede a little. He swelled with pride and his head grew even bigger upon hearing her compromise. “He’s not here right now, we still need to work out the details. I’ll set up a meeting once there’s time.” He moved even closer to her, preparing to pressure her again using his weight as her boss. “In that case, we can talk about it when he’s here.” “So, you’re agreeing to take him on?” Morrow inquired upon seeing that she was about to leave again.

That night, Javier went to the study to attend to some work after dinner. When he was done, he had Henry come over. Henry had already gotten off work and was about to hit the sack, but he dropped everything and hurried to Diroux Residences as quickly as possible—Javier wouldn’t want to see him at such an hour if it weren’t for something important.Henry was nervous when he stood before Javier with his head bowed. “Mr. Marquez, what did you want to see me for?” He felt himself break into a cold sweat at the grim look on Javier’s face. Had something gone wrong?“I heard Stardust has been looking into a big investment deal. I want you to pull some strings and get Morrow out of the country for about a month,” Javier said.Henry was taken aback. “Is that all, Mr. Marquez?”Javier raised an eyebrow, looking frosty. “What, that isn’t enough for you?”“No, no, it’s more than enough. I’ll get right onto it, Mr. Marquez,” Henry said hurriedly. He’d only reacted like that earlier because it

There was no way David would give Claire what she wanted. In fact, he loved seeing her frustrated. Claire already expected this, so she narrowed her eyes and said, “David, I’m playing nice right now. Don’t force me to get nasty.”David raised an eyebrow. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”“Oh, really?” Claire retorted. “My female intuition tells me something unusual just happened in this room. Am I right?” In truth, she’d already guessed what was happening in the room when she’d pounded on the door earlier, but she couldn’t go around accusing people without proof. Now, she was just saying this to get on David’s nerves and see how he’d react.As expected, David scowled at her words. He pointed at Claire and said, “Don’t try to frame me for something I didn’t do, Weiss. I have nothing to fear! What the fuck are you talking about?”The fish had taken the bait. Claire smiled and glanced pointedly at the curtains—there was likely to be a man hiding there, but she didn’t want to

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

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
