“What’s wrong? Why do you like that vase so much? You never care about me as much as you care about it! Is it because I’m not as valuable as a vase to you?”Hattie’s angry gaze was fixated on Alex. It was evident that she didn’t respect him at all.The Snyders knew very well that they had been putting up a harmonious and loving facade for the public to see.Of course, Hattie knew her home had been ruined from the inside out a few years ago.Alex held the vase carefully while looking around the living room, which was filled with vase shards. His face twitched out of agony and pain toward the loss.“Why are you throwing a tantrum in the middle of the night? Are you not planning to go to work tomorrow?”Alex grunted loudly, already showcasing his authority as the strict parent of the household.However, Hattie wasn’t afraid of him in the slightest. Just as she was about to berate Alex for not going to work lately, Bianca quickly arrived at the scene and started checking on the back
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 304 He Was a Little Frightening
“Fortunately, our personnel just left their posts. I believe we’ll be able to receive new intel from them soon enough. I’ll carry out your orders right away.”As soon as Karen was done speaking, she kept her head bowed as she retreated out of the study as fast as she could.Naturally, Hattie didn’t care about Karen. She kept glaring at a particular spot while feeling waves of hatred attempting to engulf her.Of course, she could care less if Claire was dead or alive. Hence, she decided to recall her personnel the moment she found out about Claire leaving Javier’s side.However, Hattie didn’t expect that Javier cared about Claire much more than she initially thought.Even now, she refused to believe Javier had truly fallen in love with Claire. Hattie was more willing to think that Javier decided to lie in her face the evening before so that she would forget about being with him.Upon being presented with the two potential reasons, Hattie found the second one more believable.No m

However, just as Henry turned around, he caught sight of a familiar silhouette from the corner of his eye.Even though that silhouette instantly went to the back, Henry could still recognize him as Charles Yackley.He couldn’t help but feel confused. After all, he had no idea why Charles would drop by the same store out of pure coincidence.However, he quickly forgot about Charles. Tracking Claire down was his utmost priority. Charles had nothing to do with his investigation.As for Charles, he was quick to notice Henry, Javier’s personal assistant.Although Charles was unfamiliar with Henry, he had noticed the latter standing by Javier’s side a few times in the past.After Henry’s figure disappeared from his line of sight, Charles finally looked away slowly.Then, he asked Eida, who had an eager smile plastered across her face, “Why did he come here?”Eida looked a little hesitant, but she had no choice but to reply to Charles when she noticed his gaze. “H-He’s here to look fo
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 306 Was He Doing Well
After hesitating momentarily, Henry still decided to conceal the fact that he had run into Charles. Then, he said to Javier in a sullen tone, “Mr. Marquez, I’m sorry for not being able to track down Mrs. Marquez.”After speaking, he bowed his head shamefully as if he was willing to accept any form of punishment.Javier’s frustration increased upon seeing Henry’s cowardly demeanor. He waved his hand coldly while saying, “That’s enough. Get out of my sight, you useless fool.”Henry nodded before running out of the office as quickly as he could.At the same time, he wiped the cold sweat off his brow. As expected, Javier’s temperament was so weird that no one could predict his next reaction.Henry was starting to think if he should call in sick for the next couple of days just to avoid Javier for the time being. Otherwise, if things were to continue like this, there was a chance that Javier might murder him in cold blood.The serenity Javier had felt at work all day was slightly tain

“Serena, Ian, hurry up and thank Mr. Moore for deciding to take you in.”The newbies, Serena McCloy and Ian Ashwood, were elated to hear the news, so they thanked the producer happily.After they were engaged in some polite talk, Claire quickly said her goodbyes to the producer after coming up with a work-related excuse. Then, she took the newbies and left the bar hurriedly.After all, she was really worried that Javier’s sixth sense might alert him that something was up. If he did find out that she was there, it would be the end of her freedom.With that thought in mind, Claire didn’t say much to the newbies. She immediately flagged down a cab and disappeared from the area with them.It was true that Javier didn’t discover Claire in the bar.However, the moment Claire saw him, he had a weird feeling. Then again, that feeling only lasted for a moment before vanishing without a trace.By the time Javier turned to gaze at the doorway in confusion, no one was there.Since he had a

Those thoughts kept plaguing Shawn as he watched the time ticking silently on the clock. He felt that he was about to use up all of his energy on negativity.He leaned against the couch lightly, recalling how anxious Hattie sounded in the phone call. Then, he closed his eyes in despair.Shawn knew that Hattie would never show such emotions to him.Soon, she would show up and whisk Javier away. Perhaps she would take him back to his house or bring him back to hers…Then again, it had nothing to do with Shawn.However, his heart still ached for some reason.The pain eventually started flowing through his system. Not even the alcohol’s effects could wash it away.It turned out that alcohol was useless to someone in pain and agony.Shawn kept his eyes closed as he listened to a flurry of loud footsteps coming from the outside. Soon, a familiar figure barged into the private room.Even though he didn’t open his eyes, he knew Hattie was there based on her scent and bearing.After H
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 309 He Missed Her
Patty knew how much Javier hated whenever other people touched him, so she hesitated momentarily before deciding not to help Hattie bring Javier upstairs.After all, Javier was already extremely drunk, so there was no way he was able to recognize her if she were to help out.Javier’s frame was already tall, not to mention his entire body was slumped against Hattie’s frame, which made it more difficult for her to drag him upstairs.She spent a long time and almost all of her energy on getting Javier upstairs. However, upon reaching the corridor, she was suddenly at a loss.There were so many rooms on the second floor. Hattie had already forgotten which room Patty had pointed at earlier.Left without a choice, she could only cast her gaze at Javier. Then, she coaxed gently, “Javier, which room is yours? I want to take you to your room so that you can rest for the night.”Javier didn’t reply to her after a while.Hattie knew that Javier had never gotten drunk before. In the end, sh

A dangerous glint appeared in Javier’s eyes. He no longer looked around his surroundings and went to shower instead.For some reason, Hattie’s scent made him feel disgusted and nauseated.…It was Claire’s fifth day at Yackley Entertainment.She could finally grasp most of the company’s operational details after studying diligently over the previous few days. The night before, she even nailed down a contract for two newbies to join a famous director’s new drama series.When Charles found out about the news the next day, he summoned Claire into his office.He was clad in a white suit then, making him look slimmer and more professional.Charles’ brows were slightly raised, which depicted his good mood.He looked quite handsome in the white suit.

Wherever he was, he would always attract the attention of the masses.However, Claire felt that Charles looked exactly like the rest of the ordinar

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

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
