Claire continued, “A few years later, the designer had already designed countless sets of high-quality jewelry thanks to the hatred he harbored for the woman. At the same time, he won various awards and earned a lot of money, which resulted in him becoming a prominent designer.“However, he still missed that woman dearly. Finally, he decided to return to the city in search of her, only to realize that everything had already changed. Not only was the woman already married, but she also had given birth to two children.“The designer was heartbroken, to say the least. He had no idea what to do in order to give the woman the best outcome she deserved. Then again, the woman was no longer the same person he knew from long ago. Even so, the designer couldn’t help but ask her if she still loved her current husband.“After hearing the question, the woman seemed stunned for a moment. She was unable to answer the designer at that time. She hugged her sleeping child tightly before telling him i

However, Javier didn’t care about the money at all. He finally looked away when he noticed that his rival wasn’t planning on increasing the bidding price.Then, he shot a look at one of his subordinates. The latter quickly understood what he meant, so he moved forward to grab the jewelry.It seemed that the merchant really was in love with the jewelry. When he noticed Javier’s subordinate approaching the jewelry, he immediately became anxious.Hence, he quickly stood up and shot Javier a pleading look. “Mr. Marquez, I know I shouldn’t fight for an item auctioned to the highest bidder, but I really like the jewelry. Can you please spare it and sell it to me? I’ll do anything for you in the future.”Javier knew the man, but he didn’t know much about him.The merchant wasn’t boasting when he claimed he could do anything for Javier. After all, he had the capability and the means to carry out his promise.It wasn’t a bad deal on Javier’s end. Everyone knew very well that he was the be
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 454 Not Blessed Enough
When Javier and Claire returned home, the latter was already in a deep sleep.Surprisingly enough, Javier didn’t have the heart to wake her up after noticing her situation.Instead, he scooped her out of the car and into his arms before walking up the stairs slowly.It was already very late at night.As Javier watched Claire sleeping on the bed that night, he started looking forward to certain things for the first time.For example, he couldn’t wait for the wedding to begin.After removing Claire’s clothes carefully and putting on a set of comfortable pajamas for her, Javier couldn’t help but marvel at her ability to continue sleeping soundly.Claire woke up early in the morning the next day.Javier seemed to have woken up before her, seeing as he was nowhere to be found.After freshening herself up in the bathroom, Claire took Ollie out on a shopping trip since it was a weekend.She had been very busy lately, so she didn’t get to spend much time with Ollie. Now, she finally

Upon witnessing the scene, a sly smile appeared on Hattie’s face.Sofia seemed to be traveling to Diroux Residences to settle the score with Claire.That was the outcome Hattie wanted.Sofia might be beautiful, but she was also quite dumb. All Hattie needed to do was trick her with a few words, and Sofia would fall into her trap voluntarily.The older woman’s personality was perfect for Hattie. That meant she wouldn’t have to deal with a crafty and mean mother-in-law in the future.With that thought in mind, Hattie couldn’t help but mock Sofia even more.She was starting to feel that it would be very difficult for Claire to get married to Javier as long as Sofia was around.Hattie finally peeled her gaze away once Sofia’s silhouette completely disappeared from her line of sight.Then, she ordered the driver to start the journey back to Snyder Villa.What Hattie wanted to do right now was wait for everything to fall into place according to her plan.All she had to do was wait
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 456 You’ll Be Interested
Claire had no idea how to explain everything. If she were to tell Sofia that Javier was the one who took the initiative to buy the jewelry for her, it would still be a futile effort.Also, that would seem like a flimsy excuse that reeked of lies.Claire couldn’t help but feel slightly disappointed, so she nodded in response. “Sofia, Javier did buy me the jewelry, but it’s a gift for our wedding. I hope you can understand that I’m not wasting his money.”She knew that Sofia didn’t like her, so she could only make herself seem nicer.After all, Claire had already received the jewelry as a gift, so she couldn’t explain her way out of this incident.Sofia refused to listen to Claire’s explanation. Instead, she gazed at the latter coldly.“Wedding gift? Miss Weiss, I think you should know what your situation is. You’re indeed pregnant with Javier’s baby, but marriage is no child’s play. The Marquez family has yet to properly acknowledge you as a daughter-in-law.”Claire’s heart throb
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 457 No Hypothetical Nonsense
However, Hattie struck first by eyeing Claire up and down when she noticed the latter approaching her.“I told you, you’re not welcome here,” Claire gritted out, clearly unhappy. Then, she shot Patty another look.Hattie continued sitting on the couch in a relaxed posture. Even though she heard Claire’s words, she showed no signs of getting up. In fact, she laughed coldly once again. “Don’t you know that I used to come here frequently in the past? I’m way more familiar with this place than you do.”Upon noticing the drastic change of expression on Claire’s face, Hattie continued to speak with a smug smile on her face. “So, if a latecomer like you get to prance around in this place, why can’t I do the same?”Claire knew that Hattie said those things on purpose just to trigger her.However, she was completely disinterested in the past, which Hattie had shared with Javier. With an icy expression, she told Patty, “What are you still standing there for, Patty? Get her out of here.”Ev
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 458 Experiencing His Wife’s Anxiety
However, Claire was only a woman who wanted to fight for Javier’s affection, so she had no idea that her conflict with Hattie would cause her a string of unfortunate incidents in the future.Hattie hated Claire with all her heart. She was the apple of the Snyder family’s eye since she was a little girl. No one dared to treat her like this in her entire life.Even if Javier didn’t like her in the past, he wouldn’t go as far as to chase her out of his mansion mercilessly, unlike what happened today.It was so humiliating for Hattie. She felt as if she was a disgrace to her family.Patty pushed a hateful Hattie to the entrance. Suddenly, both of them heard Javier issuing another order from the inside. “No one is allowed entry into Diroux Residences without my permission from now on.”Hattie, who was in the midst of leaving, stopped in her tracks. Javier’s order made her hatred for Claire grow by leaps and bounds.Meanwhile, Javier placed Claire on her bed in the bedroom with extraor
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 459 Making a Big Deal Out of Nothing
If the bride were to be another woman, Sofia would acknowledge her as the daughter-in-law as long as that bride had a good family and reputation. After all, Javier must have really liked that bride.However, Sofia could never let a woman like Claire join the Marquez family.If that were truly the case, the Marquez family’s reputation would be ruined.The more Sofia thought about it, the more depressed she became. She couldn’t swallow dinner that night and wallowed in frustration the whole time.Once Pedro returned home from work, he heard the housekeepers reporting to him about Sofia’s reluctance to finish dinner.Sofia was a woman who prioritized the quality of life, so once Pedro heard about her not eating dinner, he couldn’t help but feel surprised.After entering the master bedroom, Pedro noticed Sofia sitting on the couch all by herself with an immensely dark expression.“What’s wrong, Sof? Who made you angry? Why don’t you tell me about it?”When Sofia noticed Pedro’s ret

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
