The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 279 She Got Fired
After some time, Henry rushed back to the Marquez house. He looked at Javier with a complicated gaze. Javier was already in a lousy mood and coldly said, “No nonsense. Spit it out.”Henry shuddered and reported, “Mr. Marquez, we’ve discovered that Ollie had been expelled the day before yesterday, and Mrs. Marquez was fired by the company yesterday. No one in the company knows where she is now.” Javier was taken aback but quickly returned to his usual cold demeanor, his eyes filled with rage.“Continue searching—her friends, anywhere she might go, and also the Weiss family. Send people to keep an eye on them,” Javier ordered, but his mind was a mess. Claire had left too suddenly and without any reason. Just two nights ago, they were… Then, thinking that Claire had dared to leave without saying goodbye, his expression became uglier. Henry saw the change in his face and broke out in a cold sweat. “Yes, Mr. Marquez. I’ll send people over to investigate. We will soon receive news.”

David was not annoyed. David reached out to touch Thomas, but he dodged it with a scowl of disgust. Thomas had other things on his mind. He didn’t want to continue this with David, so he coldly walked away and went to Claire’s office.However, David did not chase him. David said as he watched him leave, “Thomas Bjorn, I’ll await your return. I’ll always be welcoming you with open arms.” As he came to a halt, Thomas snorted contemptuously. He would not stoop to such depths. To him, Claire was his sole agent. Upon reaching her office, he found the door was wide open. The strange feeling in his heart grew more intense, leading him to investigate right away.As expected, Claire wasn’t in there. The laptop on her desk was gone, leaving only a chair and nothing else. Thomas felt his brow twitch, and he placed the cake on her desk. Just as he was about to look around, an employee entered. When he saw Thomas, he greeted, “Thomas, you came so early? Are you here to look for Claire?” Thoma

Thomas nodded. He was still scowling but didn’t say anything more and immediately left Jack’s office.His feelings were in turbulence, and because of this, he didn’t notice that David was standing in a nearby doorway.David’s expression quickly changed into one of intrigue when he saw Thomas exit Jack’s office, and he was pleased when he saw that he was furious. Once Claire had left, he immediately went to see Jack and requested that Thomas be placed back under his management. She was the biggest obstacle in his path, and seeing as she was now gone, it was only a matter of time before Thomas would be in his grasp again. He knew Thomas had rejected him when he saw him scowling as he walked out of Jack’s office, but he didn’t care. He had ways of getting Thomas back under this thumb as long as Claire remained gone.Thomas was bound to be his now.David’s eyes darkened as he considered this, and a wicked smile appeared on his face.The only thing Thomas cared about right now was Clai

There had never been a woman who was blatant enough to disappear from under Javier’s nose all this while. He had even decided to teach Claire a good lesson once he had found her to ensure she never did this again.Anyone who crossed him had to suffer the consequences; she was no exception.As the day progressed into the evening, Javier remained secluded in his study without once stepping out.Patty was worried. She knew he was anxious about Claire’s disappearance, but his body wouldn’t be able to handle the strain if he continued this way. With that thought in mind, she prepared a simple meal and gently knocked on the door to his study.“Who is it?” Javier’s tone was sullen, and he sounded as though he was in a horrible mood.Patty sighed before gently saying, “It’s me, Sir, Patty. You didn’t sleep last night and haven’t eaten all day today. Your body won’t be able to handle the stress if you continue like this. I’ve prepared a simple meal. Please eat a little.”“I’m not eating.

Claire came to her senses in the next second and looked at him with her guard up. “Why should I believe you, Charles.”Charles had a point. Knowing the extent of Javier’s capabilities, he could find her at any minute. However, if she could think of this, it wasn’t strange that Charles was able to too.Charles wasn’t perturbed by her repeated questioning and chuckled again. “Because I managed to find you first. Do you really think that we’ve run into each other here purely by coincidence?”“You looked into me?” Her brows furrowed.He laughed again and shrugged.Just as she thought he would say something in response to the matter, he leisurely took out a cigarette and lit it. He appeared even more mysterious as the smoke shrouded his handsome face.She gradually lost her patience with his nonchalant behavior and mocked him with a sneer. “Even so, why would you want to help me?”The only knowledge she had of this man was that he seemed to be Javier’s rival.Sure enough, a dangerou

Did Charles just say that Javier has feelings for her?The thought had crossed Claire’s mind, but she wasn’t full of herself.She and Javier lived in two different worlds, so it was absolutely impossible.“That’s enough, Charles. What you’ve just said can’t be possible. He doesn’t love me nor I him, but I will go with you just so I can witness the extent of your downfall.”She wasn’t willing to admit that she couldn’t bear for anything to happen to Javier, so she’d rather willingly walk into Charles’ trap than see any harm come to Javier.She did indeed have a soft spot for Javier and didn’t want to burden him.Seeing that his goal had been accomplished, Charles disregarded everything else that Claire had said, and a conniving smile appeared on his face.“Well then, follow me.”With that, he gestured for them to enter his car, and it was at that moment Claire realized the vehicle had been waiting nearby for a while.She glanced at him with intrigue and had a bad feeling when s

“Number two, since I’ll be paying rent while I live here, I am free to leave whenever I want to. I’m sure you have no objections?” she continued.Charles nodded and gestured for her to continue.“And lastly…” She paused, and looking as though she had made a major decision, she said, “This is the most important one. Since I’ve agreed to follow you here, you have to promise that you won’t allow Javier to find me and that you won’t harm him.”An indecipherable look flashed across his eyes as he looked at the slightly nervous and pale woman before him. She was a conundrum—it was obvious that she was fearful of him. Despite this, she continued to discuss the terms with him, aiming to benefit both herself and Javier.For a split second, he felt as though he was beginning to envy Javier, but the feeling passed as soon as it appeared and returned his attention to the present.“Alright, I can promise you that. Is there anything else?”Claire felt as though a weight had been lifted off her

Ending the call, suspicion appeared in Javier’s eyes when he glanced at the glass of water that Sofia had brought.Claire’s sudden departure without a word was completely out of character. Per his understanding, she wouldn’t do something so irresponsible.The dangerous look in his eyes intensified as he contemplated this, and he couldn’t help being suspicious of his mother’s demeanor when she left.The Marquez gala was happening soon, and he understood the pros and cons of this event. As a man, he had never intended to place Claire in the middle of the storm.He had never once taken those scheming geezers seriously.The thought of this possibility made him frown in annoyance, and he pushed his suspicions to the back of his mind.Right now, finding Claire was more urgent. He could take his time dealing with other matters once this was done.Three days later.There were still no updates or developments regarding the search for Claire. Javier only slept for a few hours these past

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
