The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 183 More Evidence Is Needed
Claire put down her phone upon reading this. The public opinion just played a minor part in this matter, the evidence presented by Carlyle and the lawyers was what mattered most. Claire couldn't help but sigh as she thought, "This battle is not going to end so soon." Meanwhile, Javier was in his office dealing with work when his assistant barged in urgently, exclaiming, "Mr. Marquez, we have news of Carlyle. He's made an appearance." Javier looked up sharply upon hearing the news and furrowed his eyebrows, asking, "What's going on?" He too had only read of Carlyle's appearance on the news. He knew Henry had just found out by the look on his face. Henry was hesitant as he muttered, "Well, it seems like Miss Weiss found him. She searched for him at a cemetery, then he made a public appearance to clarify the matter." Javier raised an eyebrow, his cold gaze made Henry shudder. He lowered his head and held his breath, wondering, "Did I say something wrong? Miss Weiss was indeed the

Javier looked at the picture in detail and noticed Claire and himself in the abstract drawing. Ollie used bright colors to represent people. However, if Ollie hadn't told him, he wouldn't have thought that he could come up with such a design. Javier couldn't help but admire his drawing and praised his creativity and artistic skills genuinely, "You did a good job, Ollie." His compliment was very sincere. Ollie's abstract art utilized a very popular style from France. Moreover, he was able to create such a piece at a young age which meant he was quite an artistic genius. Ollie was delighted to hear the compliment and smiled with joy, asking, "Can I put it in my room when I finish it?" Javier nodded fondly. "Of course, it's up to you." Ollie happily headed to the side happily to continue drawing. Claire was fast asleep on the sofa with her laptop still on her knees. Javier couldn't help but frown, knowing that she must have been worn out from meddling in other people's affairs. De

A frail little girl about ten years old, wearing a loose hospital gown that made her look even frailer, barged in. Her delicate face bore a striking resemblance to Sally. Her large eyes were brimming with tears as she looked at her mother helplessly. Henry raised his eyebrows and guessed that she had woken up and accidentally overheard their conversation before coming in. Upon seeing Wendy, Sally's eyes lit up with joy, but it was quickly replaced by panic. She averted her gaze and said, "Wendy, it's great that you woke up. Mom has been worried about you." However, Wendy paid no attention to her concern and looked directly at her mother, choking up as she said, "Mom, please tell me what's going on. I heard everything just now." For the past few days, she had been in a daze, but she suddenly woke up feeling refreshed and was on her way to find her mother when she overheard their conversation at the door. She had no idea that the world had already turned upside down because of her.

After leaving the hospital, Henry started investigating Wendy’s father without daring to drag things out. The results were very fruitful.As Henry held the report in his hands, he couldn’t help but feel like laughing.Wendy’s father was Ned Ferguson. Having spent the past few days visiting and interviewing people for the investigation, Henry found out that Ned had an extremely bad reputation. Back in the farming village where Ned came from, all of his neighbors claimed that he was a bad person who was notorious for committing a series of minor crimes. Not only that, but he was also a gambling addict. It was a norm for him to lose all of his money in gambling sessions before he proceeded to beat up his wife. There were even people who once reported him to the authorities for attempting to sexually harass young women in the village.It wasn’t Ned’s first time committing such atrocious deeds. Even though he didn’t succeed in the assault, there were still rumors claiming that the young

Just like that, Claire received a parcel the moment she arrived at the company the next morning.She was slightly confused, seeing as she didn’t remember having ordered anything recently. Despite that, she still signed for the parcel and accepted it.Upon returning to her office, Claire opened the parcel while feeling astonished the entire time. It was then that she discovered a folder in the parcel. After unsealing it and reading through the whole thing, a look of delight appeared on Claire’s face. At that moment, her mood shifted into one of excitement.That document contained all evidence related to the girl’s father. The thing she needed the most was dropped into her lap at the right time. As long as Claire had the evidence, Carlyle would have a higher chance of winning the court case.With that thought in mind, Claire didn’t dare drag it out any further. Luckily, she didn’t have any tasks on hand at work, so she quickly called Carlyle’s number.That phone number happened to b

“As long as we have this evidence, we’ll definitely win the case! With this, Carlyle will be saved! Thank you! Thank you so much!”Kent couldn’t help but burst into tears as he spoke. It seemed like he wanted to sink to his knees and thank Claire sincerely.Of course, Claire had never been in that position before. She shot an awkward look at Carlyle immediately, but she quickly noticed the tears brimming in his eyes even though he didn’t say anything.Claire felt moved at the sight. She knew that Carlyle wanted to thank her, but with his personality, he must have found it difficult to say the exact words.Hence, she quickly helped Kent up to his feet, already feeling exhausted just from lugging his tall and heavy frame for quite some time. “Um…Don’t thank me yet. Right now, the most important thing is to host a press conference right away and publish the evidence. We can’t let the villains do whatever they want.”Kent quickly steadied himself while nodding hurriedly after hearing

Three days later, Carlyle’s press conference proceeded as usual.At that time, countless news reporters and media people attended the press conference. Everyone paid so much attention to this particular incident.After all, Carlyle was a public figure, to begin with. Moreover, this incident left a huge impact on society. The masses were all waiting for Carlyle to give everyone an explanation.The press conference looked rather grand. People filled every inch of the venue hosting it.Claire, Thomas, and Raina were all sitting in front of the television while watching the live broadcast nervously.It was said that the venue that hosted the press conference was a large conference room belonging to one of the Marquez Group’s hotels. The reporters who attended the press conference were all bigshots in the news industry. After all, only those who were well-known could be affiliated with the Marquez Group.At that moment, Carlyle could be seen standing on the stage whilst looking very h

Seizing the moment when Ned was stunned, Carlyle let out a chuckle on the spot. His cold gaze swept across Ned’s face as he started speaking loudly and clearly so that everyone in the venue could hear him. “Everyone, if anything were to happen to your child, you would’ve made the decision to lodge a police report immediately under normal circumstances. However, Ned, not only did you not plan to report to the police, but you also kept demanding compensation of twenty million dollars from me. I can’t help but suspect your true intentions.”Everyone’s gazes fell on Ned once again. After all, it was true that his actions were quite illogical.Ned had already come up with answers to Carlyle’s questions, so he didn’t hesitate to retort, “Don’t worry, I won’t skip those procedures. Once you’re done coughing up the money, I’ll go with the necessary procedures. I won’t let someone like you get your way, after all! You shouldn’t be allowed to roam outside without facing the consequences!”Car

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 Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 906 Talented
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
