The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 374 Teach Them a Lesson
“The night was beautiful and full of ecstasy.”On the way to work the next day, Claire looked at Javier and suddenly thought of that sentence. Last night was intense indeed, and she even left a scratch mark on his neck. Although his collar covered it, it was still obvious if one looked closely. Claire felt nervous and was scared Javier’s subordinates would see it. Javier noticed her stare and looked at her in confusion. “What’s the matter?” Startled, Claire quickly retracted her gaze and awkwardly said, “N-Nothing. My company is close. Off to work!” At this moment, the driver stopped the car, and Claire quickly ran down. In the car, Javier looked at her disappearing figure and laughed. He touched his neck, and a playful glint appeared in his eyes.Claire could feel that the atmosphere in the company was slightly different. Everyone seemed to be prepared for a disaster, and the way they looked at Claire was subtle. Then, Claire walked into her office and ignored their gazes. She

"Enough. I have my own limits. However, I won't meddle in your affairs with Claire. Don't look for me in the future." Morrow's attitude was weirdly firm. He had made the decision to not care about this matter. David was anxious, but he had no other choice. In the end, he could only leave with an ugly expression. At the same time, he was secretly shocked at how strange Morrow was acting. He had a feeling that Morrow was hiding something from him. Or that he was afraid of someone. A trace of worry appeared on David's face, and he sighed. Morrow couldn't help him now, so he could only hide from the limelight. It was apparent that Claire wasn't easy to deal with if Morrow was afraid to help him. So, he could not act harshly like before.From the day Hugo had taken away David's authority, Claire's work became much easier. Thomas' schedule was also getting busier. Now it was obvious that even with David in the company, Thomas had obtained more opportunities once David had lost his powe

“Oh?” Henry was stunned when he heard the voice. Even Claire, who was busy dealing with work, looked up in shock. Both of their gazes fell at the door where Javier was standing. His gaze was gloomy, and he seemed angry.Was there nothing between them? Did Claire really not care? Great, Claire had once again refreshed his understanding of her, and she challenged his dignity.Unsure why, but Claire, who was chatting with Henry, suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. She could feel a gaze boring a hole through her. Claire thought it might be a hallucination, but the feeling intensified. So, she looked in Javier’s direction again and found he was still standing there. His expression was subtle.Fortunately, Henry was quick to react. He smiled at Javier and respectfully said, “Mr. Marquez, you’re here. I remember I have some things to deal with, so I’ll be leaving.”Then, Henry disappeared from Claire’s office. At this moment, Javier’s voice sounded behind him. “Henry, you don’t ne

Claire felt Javier's hand still tightly pulling hers and wanted to escape. However, Javier's grip was so strong that she had no strength to compete.Feeling Claire's resistance, Javier was irritated and increased his strength. Right then, the elevator stopped on the middle floor, and it shook. With that, Claire fell into Javier's embrace."Ah!" Claire exclaimed as she couldn't control herself. Next, she felt a warm chest against her body and immediately blushed. Shocked, she wanted to push away, but Javier seemed happy about their intimate position. So, he did not let go of her."Stand still," Javier said to Claire with a teasing hint. When he felt that Claire was still struggling, he hugged her tighter so she couldn't move. Finally, Claire gave up and endured it, thinking that her colleagues were there, and that Javier did it on purpose. The elevator ride was only a few minutes long, but Claire felt like a decade had passed, and she could feel her colleagues' suspicious gazes.

Claire was lost in thought when Javier pulled her to an aisle and started to choose some vegetables. Seeing how Javier took one and then put them back, it seemed that he didn’t know how to select fresh produce.She knew Javier had never done such a thing and laughed, “I can’t believe the dignified President Marquez is this clueless.” Javier wasn’t mad at her comment. He just frustratedly put back the vegetable and gestured for Claire to come over. Claire then started to pick out all the ingredients needed for today’s dinner, and they walked out with bags of groceries in no time.Happily chatting as they carried the bags, Claire suddenly saw a familiar figure. Shocked, Claire stopped and didn’t know how to respond. “What’s the matter?” Javier could feel Claire tensing up and asked. Then, he followed her gaze and saw Raina. Raina seemed to notice Claire’s surprise, and she walked to them. She greeted, “Claire, what a coincidence to meet you here.” As she spoke, she glanced at J
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 379 Kiss of Punishment
He didn't understand. Was he that scary? Other women wanted to get close to him but never got the chance. In contrast, Claire was in a hurry to avoid him. The more Javier thought, the more irritated he was. Looking at Claire's busy figure in the kitchen, he couldn't control his emotions. In the end, he found a position where he could see Claire in the kitchen, took a newspaper, and read it. However, only Javier knew that his gaze had never strayed from Claire's figure. Claire did not feel Javier's burning gaze from behind. She had been busy cooking even though her thoughts were jumbled. She realized she had thought too simply of her relationship with Javier, so she felt awkward when he was there at the company. She felt uncomfortable when she thought of her colleagues' questioning gazes on her and Javier. Of course, Claire knew Javier's intentions, but how should she respond? After all, Javier was outstanding, and everyone knew that. Thinking of that, she felt even more depress
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 380 Don’t Worry About Me
Javier skillfully aroused Claire. They had been together for so long that he knew her sensitive spots. Feeling the numbing sensation across her body, Claire bit her lips to avoid moaning. She knew her body was stimulated, but she couldn’t let this continue. They had been doing it too many times lately. “Javier, can you please not force me every time?” There seemed to be tears rolling down her eyes, and it blurred her vision. Claire could hear her own pitiful voice. Finally, Javier stopped. He looked up and quietly stared at Claire. There was an unknown emotion in his eyes. “Have you thought about asking me to give you an official title? To reveal our relationship?” He did not answer her question. Instead, he asked if she wanted to publicize their relationship. He wanted to tell the world about them and get their blessing. However, would there be a good outcome from doing so? Or would it be another bad ending? Suddenly, Claire thought about her unhappy relationship with Arman
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 381 Is He a Bad Guy?
Raina was shocked and quickly ran over to pull her up. "Claire, are you okay? Wake up! You're scaring me! Someone! Help!" Raina was a petite woman, and Claire was about a head taller than her. It was tough for her to carry Claire, so she could not help but shout for help. At this time, Henry, who was ordered to stay in Stardust Entertainment because he talked too much, heard the commotion. He was shocked and rushed over. When he saw that Claire had fainted, he quickly carried her."Thank you. Please send Claire to the hospital!" Raina cried while rushing him. Henry didn't waste time and took the elevator. When Raina returned to her senses, they were gone. There were still tears in the corner of her eyes, but the person beside her was gone. She couldn't help but feel lost as she thought, "Who was that? Why haven't I seen him in the company? Is he a bad guy?"However, she couldn't be bothered with these details and hurriedly took the elevator down so she could accompany Claire to t

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
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

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
