Chapter 308 Be With Him Tonight

Author: Autumn Fell
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.

    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. In fact, the suit made him appear gentler than other men.Charles was an attractive man. 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

    After snapping out of her thoughts, Claire looked through the celebrities’ information while supporting her forehead with a hand.It seemed that she would be very busy in the future.Soon, Claire had forgotten all about her impromptu meeting with Javier at the bar.In the general manager’s office of the Snyder Group, Hattie was currently sitting behind her desk while gazing at Karen with a professional gleam in her eyes.“I ordered you to track down that woman. Do you have any news for me?”Karen quickly placed the document that she had been holding on Hattie’s desk. She said respectfully, “Miss Snyder, this is Claire Weiss’ current location as well as her recent activity chart. She had never left this city from the start.”A trace of shock appeared in Hattie’s eyes. She quickly grabbed the document and started reading the contents carefully.Unexpectedly, the more she read, the more interested she became. In the end, a smug smile blossomed on her beautiful face.“It turns out

    Claire nodded while studying the man in front of her.“What are you doing here, Harley?”When Harley heard Claire’s question, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face. Then, he smiled and answered, “Well, Miss Weiss, I was in charge of the newbies who were recently transferred to you. I’ve gotten to know them well, so I was wondering if you could let me take charge of them again.”Claire frowned immediately when she heard Harley’s request. At the same time, she looked at him with surprise evident on her face.“Why must you insist on managing those two newbies? I apologize for being blunt, but you can always manage talents who are way better than them.”It wasn’t like Claire wanted to snatch those newbies from Harley; Charles was the one who wanted her to manage the newbies, after all. She was worried that Charles might bring this matter up and use it to berate her in the future.Harley was slightly stunned for a moment. However, he argued stubbornly, “To be honest, Miss Weiss

    Claire was confused, but she still followed Ollie into the room with a faint smile on her face. When she noticed two bowls of pasta sitting on the table, a weird feeling suddenly surged from her heart.She could barely believe what she had just seen, so she quickly lowered her head to ask, “Ollie, did…did you prepare this for me?”Claire remembered the years that she and Ollie had spent living abroad. A few times, she came home late because she had to pull overtime shifts. Ollie was the one who cooked for her despite his tender age. The only dish he knew how to prepare was pasta.However, one time, Ollie accidentally spilled hot water all over the place because he was too young to carry the pot. The poor child almost got scalded during the process. Once Claire found out about it, she forbade Ollie from cooking since then.Nevertheless, Ollie still chose to prepare pasta for Claire’s sake, making her feel touched and guilty at the same time.She couldn’t help but pull Ollie into a

    It was evident that everyone looked exhausted. Henry didn’t want to summon them at such an early hour, but given the circumstances, he was left with no choice.In the conference room, Javier looked a lot more serious than usual. He scanned the surroundings quietly, noting how everyone kept quiet with their heads bowed. Then, he started speaking in a soft tone.“Who’s in charge of the ‘Love Strategy’ cast?”One of the higher-ups’ complexions became as white as a sheet the moment Javier’s question fell. He replied nervously, “I’m in charge of the cast, Mr. Marquez. However, we agreed to use one of our celebrities as a cast member at first, but for some reason, the production crew suddenly decided to switch to another person. We also didn’t expect that development to happen.”Javier narrowed his eyes slightly as he gazed at the higher-up. However, it seemed like he was addressing everyone at the same time.“So, you allowed the incident to continue festering. Do you know what the publ

    Claire finally came up with an excuse to convince Clement that she had to leave right away.As usual, whatever she feared the most would come true. Just as Claire was about to walk out of the main exit, someone suddenly called out to her from behind in a perplexed tone.“Claire?”Claire froze in her tracks out of habit. She could easily discern the speaker’s identity just by his voice, but she could only grit her teeth and walk out of the exit briskly without daring to stop.When Carlyle noticed the woman trying to flee from him, he was even more sure she was Claire. He chased after her without even thinking.He was shouting very loudly at her as he ran. “Claire, wait up! I know you’re Claire!”Even though there were many people around them, they were all engaged in their own businesses, so they didn’t notice Claire’s antics.When Claire noticed Carlyle was about to catch up, she felt cold sweat forming. Left without a choice, she could only take a sharp turn and duck into a vac

    The first thing Claire did after arriving home that evening was to open up her computer and look up the movie “Love Strategy.”She had been swamped over the last few days, so she hadn’t had time to deal with these trivial matters.However, after her conversation with Carlyle today, she had a feeling that the matter wasn’t that simple.She didn’t know exactly what had happened, so she had to look it up on the Internet.She immediately noticed the problem.“Love Strategy” was already publicized, with Carlyle and another actress from his company as the leads.Claire paid some attention to the timing of the announcement. It was around when Carlyle’s PR team was working on getting him back on the silver screen after his scandal.However, when the auditions started, the producer insisted on having one of Harley Jensen’s actresses as the lead.The details of what caused the crew to break their contract and change their lead were unknown to Claire, but she was certain that this had a negative

    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

    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

    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
