The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 486 Where Are You
Hearing Hattie’s words, for a second, Shawn felt like he'd fallen into icy waters. He was suddenly impressed by the woman in front of him. Hattie had always had a way of controlling her emotions. But even though he knew it was all a facade, he still savored it, as if her smile was real.After some time, Shawn slowly found his voice and said shakily, “Hattie, are you sure that you want to treat me like this?”But as soon as Shawn asked that question, he regretted it. He quickly got up, acted as if he did not care, and said, “Okay, I understand. It’s a good thing that you’re getting married to Javier. I’ll head off as I have other things to do.”After speaking, Shawn did not take another look at Hattie and left right away.Confusion flashed in Hattie’s heart as she looked at his retreating figure, but it was only for a moment before she regained her composure. She looked calmly as Shawn disappeared. She had succeeded. She was going to get married to Javier soon. So, at this moment,
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 487 Only She Can Be My Woman
Sofia saw her son like this and felt a pang of heartache. When she walked closer to him and heard him calling Claire’s name, she understood what was going on.“Why are you doing this?” Sofia asked. She was anxious and angry when she saw her son like this. She was angry because her son was harming his health for a woman like Claire, and anxious because she could not persuade her son to give up. After all, he was an adult and could not be forced to do the things he did not want to do.Javier saw Sofia and sobered up a little. However, he ignored Sofia and continued to drink, as if he had nothing else to live for.“It’s inappropriate for you to continue to drink like this. Don’t forget that your wedding with Hattie is only a few days away!”Sofia could not bear to see her son like this, so she lunged forward and grabbed Javier’s glass. No mother could bear to see their son in such a state without feeling heartache. Sofia hated Claire even more at this moment. Why did she have to torme
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 488 Planning to Die
Javier looked at the destroyed living room, but his mood had not improved. The things that were causing him agony were still on his mind, not allowing him a moment of peace.The next day, Shawn went to the company to look for Javier but did not see him there. He even asked Henry, but the latter did not know anything as well. Henry was Javier’s right-hand man. Therefore, if he had no idea, no one else would.He gave Javier a call, but he did not pick up. Shawn decided to head over to Javier’s house to check on him.At Diroux Residences, Shawn knocked on his door for a long time, but no one answered. Shawn felt odd because there should be a few housekeepers working at this time. Why wasn’t anyone answering the door? Luckily, Javier had given him a key to the house before. Shawn finally had a chance to use it. The door opened, and it was quiet inside the house. Shawn thought that Javier was not home.“Javier, are you here?” Shawn called out a few times, but there was no response.J
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 489 Willing to Do This
Seeing Shawn in front of him, a hint of disappointment flashed through Javier's eyes. He closed his eyes again and did not mind that he got punched."Are you this useless?" Shawn angrily shouted and pulled Javier up from the ground again.Another punch came flying onto Javier's face. Javier grunted in pain but did not open his eyes."I'm going to hit you until you return to your senses today."Shawn looked at Javier's face and got angrier. His punches became more ruthless. After a while, Javier's face was covered in bruises.Although he'd always respected Javier, he was feeling rather depressed at the moment. Therefore, he went all out. After Shawn got tired of hitting him, he collapsed to the ground in exhaustion. Javier was also knocked to the ground and was groaning in pain. Javier had been beaten ruthlessly. He struggled to get up from the floor and vomited blood. It was ghastly.Shawn stopped moving. He quietly watched as Javier got up and slowly opened his eyes. He looked

Javier’s helpless cries of despair echoed throughout the villa.“In the end, I was the one who let you go,” Javier muttered, holding his chest in agony. He felt like he was suffocating, but there was nothing he could do.Javier thought that his heart was empty. However, why did it still feel like he was being torn apart? After Shawn left, Javier remained seated on the couch in a daze, not knowing what was on his mind.It was already evening. However, Javier was just sitting there without any intention of going to bed. He really missed Claire. He missed her so much.Extreme longing was painful. He kept thinking of all the memories he'd shared with Claire.Javier did not feel that his life was particularly terrible before he'd met Claire. However, after meeting her, his life became much more interesting. Only after losing Claire did he realize how much she meant to him.Javier finally moved. He stood up quietly. He hadn't eaten in almost a day. He had to eat a proper meal before he
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 491 Going Crazy
“Hey, why do you think Mr. Marquez has been absent? Could it be that he doesn’t want to marry the daughter of the Snyders?”An employee was gossiping with her colleagues. Usually, they were not allowed to talk about their president’s matters. However, she loved to gossip and couldn’t help but tell her colleague after getting the news. The other employee was also shocked. Then she looked around and lowered her voice. “Is it true? You shouldn’t simply talk about this matter lest Ms. Snyder hears it…”She made a gesture across her neck. Her meaning was obvious. The gossiping employee didn’t care and laughed. “It’s fine. She hasn’t married into the Marquez family yet. Also, I really don’t wish to see Mr. Marquez marrying someone he doesn’t like.”When they were about to continue, the company’s superior brought the shareholders to the general meeting. Everyone quickly returned to their places and started working. However, they were curious as to why there was such a huge commotion.

All of these matters were making Sofia more upset. She sighed and decided to discuss it with Pedro before making a final decision. Sometimes, it only needed a word to make a person get themselves together. The next morning, everyone was shocked that Javier had returned to the office for work. It felt as if nothing had happened, and he was still the cold and oppressive genius everyone knew. When Javier was absent, Henry had been busy searching for Claire’s whereabouts through the dark web. He also had to take control of the company’s matters. At this point, he was exhausted.So, the moment Javier returned, he was so touched that he could cry, and he showed him a grateful smile. “Mr. Marquez, you’re finally back! My hands were full without you here these days,” Henry complained in a low voice. Then, he noticed that Javier was still cold and serious. Shocked, he stopped himself from speaking and changed the topic. “Mr. Marquez, I’ve found some traces of Mrs. Marquez.” Sure enoug

Claire carefully put Ollie into bed and covered him with a blanket. Her face was full of worry. After Javier and Hattie got married, she couldn’t stay here with Ollie. She had to find a place for her and Ollie to stay. After all, Ollie was still a child. He would soon forget about Javier. As for her, she would never forget about him in this life. However, she accepted this. After Javier returned to the company, he immersed himself in work all day and night. He didn’t eat and was constantly busy. The superiors had no choice but to work overtime. Seeing how hard-working Javier was, they were scared they couldn’t catch up with his progress.Henry witnessed everything and was worried. If Javier continued like this, he would fall sick, and the company’s employees would go crazy. Moreover, it was getting close to the wedding.

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
