Chapter 363 Grateful for Him

Author: Autumn Fell
She spoke without thinking but did not expect Javier’s expression to freeze and his face to darken upon hearing it.

With a cold snort, Javier raised his eyebrows and asked her, “Do you have a problem with me coming to my wife’s room?”

Seeing that he used her status as a wife as an excuse again, Claire froze slightly. She then seriously said, “That’s not what I meant. I just think you should rest earlier.”

After saying this, Claire inexplicably felt a chill coming her way and a shiver went down her spine. She tried to close the door. However, as soon as she pulled the door handle, Javier had already grabbed it before her.

“I suddenly changed my mind. I don’t want to rest now. As my wife, shouldn’t you fulfill your marital duties and sleep with me for a while?” Javier said and exerted force, entering Claire’s room.

Claire was startled. Afraid of waking Ollie up next door, Claire lowered her voice and said, “Javier, don’t joke around. It’s so late now.”

But Javier refused to list

    “That manager…who would have thought that she was such a person?”“Truly! One can't judge a book by its cover. Looks can be deceiving. She appeared to be a nice person but did such sneaky things.”“Exactly! It's really shameful. Look at her—still so expressionless, as if someone owed her money.”Claire had just arrived at the company and noticed that the atmosphere this morning was strange. A group of people was discussing something, and Claire could hear that they were talking about her. However, she did not want to pay attention and chose to ignore them. Claire walked straight to her office but was stopped by someone at the door.It was none other than Nicholas, the actor under David’s tutelage.“Stop, I have something to ask you.”Nicholas looked unkindly at Claire, imposing himself and not letting her pass. He stood directly in front of Claire.Claire frowned, displeased, but did not want to interact with him too much. “Move aside.”“Did you take my watch?”To her surprise

    While walking, Nicholas kept saying that he would send Caire to the police station.“Claire, if you don’t give me a proper explanation today, don’t even think about leaving. Not only will I take you to the police station, but I’ll also take you to Mr. Marquez and let him see what kind of person you really are. You thief!”The ‘Mr. Marquez’ he referred to was Morrow.The more Nicholas talked, the more agitated he became. By the end of his speech, his face had turned red.Claire refused to give in and argued with Nicholas. In the struggle, she coldly shook off Nicholas’s hand. Nicholas lost his balance and fell to the ground.Despite being an adult male, he had a rather feminine air about him. And since he was not diligent in exercising, he was really weak.The people around them all gasped at the scene. If they were not in the same company, they probably would have taken out their phones to start gossiping.After Claire shook off Nicholas’s hand, she did not pay any attention to

    This was his only chance to let Claire change her impression of him. Morrow told himself that if Claire intended to rely on him, he would offer his help and not let her suffer any losses. Then, there would be a change in his relationship with Claire. However, it did not happen—not even the slightest. Claire only stood there in silence like an unbending female warrior, taking the burden alone. “I said, I did not take it. Nicholas Vatte, I’m warning you not to make baseless accusations.” Claire was really anxious and glared at Nicholas. She really didn’t want to have too much involvement with this madman. Justice would prevail. Since she had said she didn’t take it, that was the truth.When Morrow saw how Claire acted, he felt upset. It seemed she would rather be wronged than ask him for help. It turned out he was a villain in her heart. If Claire wasn’t Javier’s wife, would he be so patient to wait for an answer? In her dreams! Suddenly the atmosphere became awkward. Everyone was

    Claire stared at Nicholas and said, "Nicholas Vatte, this is my last warning. Do not slander me. I'm not a sugar baby. I dare you to say it again." Angry, she stared at Nicholas with bloodshot eyes. Even Nicholas shuddered under her gaze, and his heart pounded. But since he had said it, he could only bite the bullet and continue."Am I wrong? I know you have a sugar daddy. Why should you be afraid of others knowing? You're a bitch. A slut!" The more Nicholas spoke, the more exaggerated he was. In the end, he yelled, shocking the crowd. His words angered Claire, and she felt her last bit of patience was gone. She glared at the arrogant Nicholas and wanted to rip him into pieces. However, she only pursed her lips and did not retort. It wasn't because she was scared, but she felt helpless when facing these madmen. However, Nicholas was delighted seeing Claire's reaction, thinking she was angered by his words. As if he found Claire's weakness, he became excited. He was gloating and

    With no other choice, Nicholas quickly put away his arrogance and pleadingly looked at Morrow. “Mr. Marquez, please hear me out. This matter isn’t how you think it is. Please don’t treat me like this. I have contributed so much to the company over the years.”Morrow snorted when he heard his explanation. “Still, you can’t see your mistakes, huh? Why don’t we let Ms. Weiss weigh in on this?” Upon hearing that, Nicholas broke out in a cold sweat and dared not act rashly. “M-Mr. Marquez, it’s my fault. I would never commit such an act again. Please forgive me this once, and don’t cancel my roles.” However, Morrow ignored his plead and turned to Claire. “Ask if Claire is willing to forgive you.”Nicholas couldn’t care about anything else and ran to Claire. He anxiously asked, “Ms. Weiss, I’m sorry. I won’t offend you next time. Please ask Mr. Marquez to let me stay?” Claire was unmoved. Instead, she was irritated and coldly said, “You need to be punished for making such baseless

    Morrow deliberately ignored Claire’s attitude and focused on applying the ointment. Soon, he was done but was unwilling to let go of her hand. He held her hand and casually asked, “Where did you get this watch?” He wanted to see if Claire would admit it or dodge the question. Claire knew Morrow would ask this and faintly replied, “I bought it myself. What’s the matter, Mr. Marquez? Do you have to control such matters too?” Then, she took the chance to pull out her hand, thinking she’ll have to wash it later properly. Otherwise, she felt really uncomfortable and would actually chop it off.But Morrow didn’t believe her at all, and there was disdain in his eyes. “Well, it seems I have underestimated your abilities, Ms. Weiss. Since you bought it yourself, I have no comments.” Morrow’s expression was weird, as if he knew the truth but didn’t want to expose her. His reaction irritated Claire, and she said, “I told you I bought it myself. It’s up to you to believe it or not.” “Are

    The colleague felt embarrassed as Claire didn't even raise her head to give her a response. However, after all, Claire had a different status. Then, another colleague comforted her, and she continued, "Ms. Weiss? We're going to lunch. Do you want to join us? You've been busy the whole morning."Finally, Claire looked up. Seeing that she helped Nicholas scold her, Claire knew this person was scared she would take revenge, so she had come to curry favor with her. It seemed there were many fence-sitters in the world.Claire despised such people and coldly glanced at her without speaking, giving off an indifferent attitude. After being rejected, the colleague felt embarrassed and left. However, in her heart, she was cursing Claire."Who does Claire Weiss think she is? She just has Mr. Marquez protecting her. Look at how arrogant she's acting!" the colleague that Claire rejected complained while eating at the company cafeteria with her other colleagues. Everyone agreed with her but dar

    Finally, they reached the main point, and Claire was excited. However, she still remained calm on the surface and said, "Mr. Bjorn, I know you make clear distinctions between public and private interests. Now, you know there are grudges between David and me. Therefore, I feel that you should handle this matter personally. What do you think?" There was admiration in Hugo's eyes. "Okay. We'll follow your plan. I will deal with this matter." After receiving Hugo's answer, Claire felt he could be trusted and gave him a faint response before saying in gratitude, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Bjorn. I believe you can handle this matter fairly." Her words were indisputable. Hugo looked up at her in shock and retracted his gaze without any further comments. Seeing that her mission was completed, Claire nodded. "Mr. Bjorn, I'll be leaving if there's nothing else. Thank you." Then, she left his office. At the door, Hugo suddenly called out to her. Claire was slightly stunned. "Mr.

    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
