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.

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.
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 492 The Wedding Will Go as Planned
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
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 493 Can’t Stand It Anymore
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. Javier was nowhere near to how a normal groom would react. Nervous, Henry hesitated and finally mustered the courage to call Sofia. When the call connected, hi
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 494 What Are You Escaping From
If it weren't because something had happened, Henry wouldn't act like that. After all, those working for Javier were the cream of the crop.Sure enough, just as Shawn finished, Henry showed a bitter expression. "Mr. Jones, please help me convince Mr. Marquez when you see him. After he returned to the company, he hasn't been eating or drinking. All he does is work. I'm scared that if he doesn't rest, he'll pass out soon. Mrs. Marquez just came over but left after a short while. It seemed like she couldn't do anything."Henry looked distressed, and Shawn's expression was complicated, but he didn't say much. Then, he nodded. "Got it. Get on with your work." He watched as Henry walked away and stood outside Javier's office for a long time before gently knocking. Not sure why, but he didn't directly open the door like usual. Probably because something is starting to change between them. After three knocks, he heard Javier's voice coming from inside. "Come in."Shawn clenched his fist
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 495 Get Her Back
“I can only wait until Claire takes the initiative to come back to my side. Otherwise, she will only retreat. I have no other choice.” Then, he took a drag. Suddenly, Shawn felt that he had understood everything Javier said. However, he wasn’t totally sure. The only thing he was sure of was that Javier was still as sharp as he usually was. It turned out everything was under his control.Shawn felt conflicted after hearing Javier say he wouldn’t marry Hattie. He couldn’t describe it. It was just strange—even though he knew he wouldn’t have any connections with Hattie in the future.As for the other matters, he wouldn’t dare tell Javier about them now. He knew Javier had taken enough blows and couldn’t be disappointed anymore. “Javier, no matter what, no one wishes to see you in such a state. Please get yourself together. As for Hattie, I’ll deal with her.”It was also time for him to deal with Hattie. He couldn’t see her making more mistakes. Hearing that, Javier was suddenly
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 496 I Will Be Back Soon
Shawn laughed, “Well, President Marquez, you said it yourself. With your promise, life will be easier for me at the company.”What he said wasn’t false. It would save him a lot of trouble if Javier was willing to help. Javier didn’t comment as it was just a joke to him. Seeing that it was late, Shawn found an excuse and left, as he didn’t want to be rushed by Chet again. Now that he had returned to the Jones family, he couldn’t be as free as he used to be. He was depressed at the thought of that.After Shawn had left, Javier looked away. Actually, he had sensed Shawn’s strange behavior, especially when they talked about him returning to the Jones family to work. He knew Shawn wouldn’t compromise unless there was something related to him. The truth seemed to be right before him, but Javier ignored it. Now, he only cared about Claire and didn’t want to divert his attention. After some thought, Javier called Henry, who had been busy. Henry had just returned from checking on Claire

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
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 Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 906 Talented
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
