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

After getting out of bed, Claire quickly freshened herself up and changed her clothes before preparing to welcome Pedro and Sofia to the mansion.It was a good thing that Ollie had already gone to school, so she didn’t need to explain to him what was going on.Otherwise, she wouldn’t know what to say when Ollie asked about Pedro and Sofia’s visit.In other words, Claire didn’t want Ollie to see her looking so sad.She was feeling pretty down right now.In the end, she was forced to face the music on her own.Also, Claire had no idea what the future had in store for her.Time was like a fleeting meteor, after all.Soon, it was already noontime.Patty had already directed the housekeepers to prepare a lavish lunch with a variety of delectable dishes.It was 12 pm by the time Pedro and Sofia arrived at Diroux Residences. Both of them were very punctual people.Having completed all preparations, Claire felt slightly confident and respectfully welcomed the future in-laws into the

Pedro’s expression became weird as well, but he quickly restored his expression to one of tranquility for the sake of the entire Marquez family. He gritted his teeth and said, “I’ve already made myself very clear. If you choose to disappear right now and agree not to marry Javier, the baby in your womb and the child named Ollie will be spared. I trust you won’t need me to teach you what to do next, hmm?”As a father, he was left without a choice.The Marquez family was a chaotic mess from the start. Now that Javier finally obtained the ultimate authority and was able to calm things down, if he were to marry Claire, not only would he bring shame to the family, but the company would also be in a perilous situation.Sometime later, Claire finally spoke up once again.“I understand. Don’t worry. I’m a mother too. I think you two know what my final decision is.”Once she was done speaking, Claire felt as if all of her energy had been drained at that moment. She could only lean against

Claire froze on the spot with furrowed brows.If she wasn’t mistaken, that voice belonged to one of her family members.As expected, the moment she turned around, she noticed her father, Liam, standing right behind her.Claire was surprised. Then, she remembered that the news of her upcoming marriage made her very popular.It wouldn’t be difficult for Liam to track her down if that was what he wanted to do.When Liam noticed Claire looking at him, he looked surprised and delighted. “It really is you, Claire. I can’t believe that I would be running into you here. I really miss you. How have you been doing lately?”Liam looked like he genuinely cared about Claire as her father. In fact, he had paternal affection written all over his face.If Claire hadn’t known that this father of hers was cruel enough to sell her to Nuvola Palace, she would have felt quite touched by now.However, the memory of that incident made her expression go cold. All she did was glance at Liam icily.“Li

At that moment, Claire’s strong facade was threatening to crumble.Soon, tears started flowing down her cheeks.Suddenly, the sound of a bell ringing could be heard coming from the school.Claire knew that Ollie was about to exit the school grounds, so she quickly wiped her tears and did her best to control her emotions.As expected, Ollie ran out of his classroom soon enough.After scanning his surroundings, he was able to locate Claire’s silhouette a moment later.Surprise and delight appeared on his face as he bolted toward her happily.Then, he hugged her tightly. “Mommy, you’re finally here to pick me up! I’m so happy!”Warmth flooded Claire’s heart at that moment as she flashed her son a bright smile. Then, she scooped him into her arms lovingly. “You’re such a good boy, Ollie. I’ll come to fetch you every day from now on, okay?”Ollie quickly nodded happily in his mother’s arms. “Okay, Mommy! I love you so much!”When the children around Ollie noticed his elation, they
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 464 Take a Good Look
No matter what, the children were innocent. Claire could never watch her children get hurt in front of her eyes.Hence, she could only choose to leave.When she thought of leaving, she felt another surge of sorrow overtaking her senses.Her heart was in so much pain from the emotional turmoil.However, Claire had no choice but to grit her teeth tightly. She must quell her desire to break down and cry.If Javier were to find out that something was wrong, she wouldn’t be able to leave his side.Right now, she could only come up with a way to convince Javier to let her and Ollie leave the mansion.It might be a sad outcome, but it was bound to happen.

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
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 910 Hard to Avoid
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
