The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 291 More and More Complicated
At the lobby of the Marquez Group building.Shawn finally released his grip on Hattie after he managed to drag her downstairs with much difficulty, and before he could say anything, she immediately slapped him.A loud smack was heard. Shawn’s head turned to the side from the force of the slap, and a visible imprint of her hand could be seen on his face.Hattie had placed a lot of force behind the slap, so her hand stung from the impact, and her fingers trembled slightly. However, it didn’t help to quell her anger, and she pointed furiously at him as she said, “What the hell do you think you’re doing? I wanted to find out why Javier didn’t attend the gala. Do you know how the other Marquez family members looked at me as I sat there? What about my pride as a Snyder?”Shawn felt his own temper flaring up, and the look in his eyes hardened. “I’m begging you, Hattie, stop being so naïve and get your facts straight. You were the one who wanted to attend the gala. Besides, you and Javier

“You…You…” Claire flew into a rage from embarrassment, and her face instantly flushed.She fumbled over her words for a long time but couldn’t find the right ones to describe a man like Charles, who had an impish smile on his face.Thus, she could only grit her teeth and hatefully say, “You’re so shameless!”Charles’ smile only widened as he nodded in acknowledgment. “A lot of people probably feel that way about me, but you’re the first one to dare say it to my face.”She felt defeated by how his mind worked. “Why have you come back?” she asked.She had heard from the servants that he was rarely here and would usually stay at Nuvola Palace. She hated to think about the kind of place it was, and the fact that he hung around there meant that he probably wasn’t up to anything good. Hence, she tucked in her limbs to distance herself from this dangerous man.“This is my home. What does it matter to you if I come back or not?”He didn’t pay any mind to Claire’s expression and gently l
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 293 Extremely Creepy
Furthermore, with his quirky character, Charles wouldn’t take anything Claire told him seriously and would probably snuff her out before she could even tease him. Hence, she did not need to waste her breath or energy on him when nothing would come out of it, so she should just focus on handling her own matters. Moreover, she could barely take care of herself right now to have the mind to care about him.She glanced at the clock at the thought of this and realized that it was already 11.30 pm. Without sparing any more time with him, she tidied up the table and collected her things before heading upstairs. She took extra care when climbing the stairs and trod lightly so she wouldn’t wake him. She might dislike him very much, but it wasn’t to the point of hatred, except when he did things that made her abhor him.Once Claire had tiptoed upstairs, she quickly set her things on the table, grabbed her pajamas from the closet, and entered the bathroom. It wasn’t long before the sound of flo

Charles chuckled and didn’t look the least bit apologetic. He was calm and collected as he glanced at the pasta on the counter. “I didn’t think you knew how to cook.”Claire wasn’t pleased to hear his words. “It sounds like you’ve underestimated me.” She couldn’t resist glaring at him when she finished speaking to show her displeasure.He was also hungry, so he walked around her, sat himself down in front of the bowl with the larger portion of pasta, and brought it closer to him.She was shocked to see that he was about to eat it, so she swiftly stopped him. “Hey, that’s for Ollie. There won’t be my share left if you eat that. Moreover, why is the dignified owner of Nuvola eating my food?”He paused from surprise but quickly regained his composure in the next moment and looked nonchalantly at her. “You can always make another bowl. Besides, you should be honored that I would eat the food you’ve made.”With that, he ignored her and dug in. He also secretly praised her skills as he
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 295 Do Nothing About It
The female secretary quickly collected herself.Charles opened his computer the moment he sat down in his office.“Your breakfast, sir.” He wasn’t one to eat at home before coming to work, so a female assistant placed food she usually bought before him.“No thanks.” He was so engrossed with the numbers on his computer that he didn’t even look up at her when he replied.The assistant took the sandwich away with a look of surprise on her face. She wondered, “Is the president unwell today?” However, this wasn’t unusual as well. Rumors had it that he was a womanizer, so he probably spent the night at a woman’s place yesterday. She couldn’t help being curious about this woman who had managed to capture his interest. She didn’t think about it further and returned to her desk to continue working.It had been two hours since Charles arrived at the office. His face grew darker and darker as he looked at the information on his computer. He didn’t expect the company’s performance to be so po
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 296 No More Self-Preservation
The next day, the atmosphere in Javier’s company was depressing.Everyone, ranging from the shareholders to the meager employees, could feel that something significant was about to happen to the company.Almost everyone had already found out that Javier didn’t attend the Marquez gala, which was considered extremely important for the entirety of the Marquez Group.The Marquez gala had nothing to do with work, but everyone knew this incident had deep ties with Javier’s status in his family.While appearing composed externally, the Marquez family was, in fact, engaged in several clandestine machinations behind the scenes.Everyone studied Javier’s every move quietly. Some people were hoping with all their hearts that something might happen to Javier, whereas others hoped they wouldn’t get involved in the upcoming disaster.As expected, Javier’s absence from the Marquez gala was quickly leaked to the public.“Have you heard? Mr. Marquez didn’t attend the Marquez gala for some reason

All eyes were fixed on Joe, who chose to remain silent at that moment. He still sat there impassively as if he was frozen in time.In reality, those close to Joe could easily see that he was currently furious, seeing as his expression had already darkened.Joe then shot a glare at Pedro, completely revealing the resentment in his eyes.Pedro was so frightened that he shrank back in fear. At the same time, he had just found out that Javier had spent 100 million dollars for the sake of a woman’s life.He had no idea how the director, who was also his younger brother, found out about it.The people in the conference room didn’t dare to make any noise, let alone urge Joe to come up with a response. All they did was watch the elderly chairman anxiously as though they were waiting for the final judgment.Of course, Pedro was the most anxious one out of all. He had already predicted that today’s incident would cause a huge uproar.However, he had witnessed the others targeting Javier r

Morrow again became the center of negative attention, causing all the colors to drain from his face immediately. He didn’t dare proclaim his desire even if he wanted the position badly. All he could do was glare at Javier angrily.He clenched his fists tightly as he gritted out, “What do you mean by that, Javier? I’m also a Marquez, you know! Naturally, I want to do all I can for our family! I don’t care if I can become president at the end of the day!”Morrow sounded quite diplomatic. Naturally, everyone was rather impressed with him. Even Joe’s expression started to relax.However, before Morrow could dwell on his newfound happiness, he heard Javier starting to speak. “Since we all have good intentions for our family, then I’ll cut straight to the chase.”While everyone was muddled and confused, Javier gestured for Henry to pass a stack of documents around.The meeting-goers received and flipped through their documents, still looking quite confused. When they finally went throug

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

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
