No matter what, Hattie needed to remove that thorn as soon as possible.Otherwise, she would suffer every day.Hattie wouldn’t be able to sleep well at night as long as Claire was alive. She was worried that she wouldn’t be able to secure the position as Mrs. Marquez.Her gaze became cold and cruel as she continued thinking about Claire. She wondered where Claire was and what she was doing at the moment.Hattie felt it wasn’t impossible for her to take Claire out without anyone knowing.With that thought in mind, Hattie picked up her phone and called a certain someone.“Harold, what have you been up to lately?”Hattie’s voice was incredibly gentle to the point that she almost sounded like a different person.It was obvious that the man on the other end of the line enjoyed listening to that tone. He chuckled lightly before replying, “Hattie, my dear cousin! What prompted you to call me on this fine morning? Do you miss me already?”Hattie giggled shyly before her seductive and

Ever since Shawn took over the Jones family, he had to continue dealing with the mafia, seeing as his family had illegal businesses. Hence, it was inevitable for him to come in contact with Harold.Besides, Harold owed Shawn a favor, so he was very respectful to the latter.Shawn was also the one footing the bill for everyone during the gathering. It was to thank them for introducing a good business deal to him, allowing him to make huge profits.It appeared that Harold’s female companion was Hattie.Shawn wasn’t worried about Harold spotting anything out of the ordinary based on his expression. He just stared at Hattie coldly, noting the flash of panic on her face. A strong sense of disdain soon appeared in his eyes.The woman that he used to love wasn’t as simple as he thought. Shawn had thought of her as a pure and innocent woman in the past.Soon, Harold noticed Shawn’s weird look, which puzzled him greatly.“Mr. Jones, this is the cousin that I told you about. Do you guys k
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 592 Don’t Cross the Line
A glint of hatred shone in Shawn’s eyes. He hated that Hattie was such a cruel and merciless woman who treated other people like maggots.Had it been someone else who committed the murders, he wouldn’t have hesitated to send them packing to jail.It was implausible that such atrocious deeds could have been executed right under his and Javier’s watchful eyes without the slightest acknowledgment of the power they both held.However, Hattie was the one who had committed those murders. Regrettably, that woman held a special place in Shawn’s heart. He knew that no one could afford to turn back now that things had progressed to this point.Having reached that conclusion, Shawn released Hattie’s chin while looking slightly depressed. Then, he picked up his wine glass and downed the contents immediately.Once Hattie was free from Shawn’s grasp, she couldn’t help but inhale deeply to calm herself down.She was extremely nervous earlier because two out of three men had leverage over her.
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 593 I Prefer Women Like You
However, Shawn didn’t react to Hattie’s naked body.As she continued dancing, she kept dragging the time out. No matter what, she didn’t have the courage to take off the last article of clothing that protected the sliver of pride she had left.Harold, who had been enjoying the dance, felt very hot and bothered. He couldn’t help but urge impatiently, “My dear cousin, hurry up and take it off already! Let me have some fun, will you? Don’t worry. I’ll agree to anything you ask me to do once I’m done having fun!”Shawn’s eyebrow twitched the moment he heard Harold’s words.His gaze was like a sharp dagger aimed at an undressed Hattie.It seemed that Hattie and Harold had too many secrets.At that moment, Hattie felt like tearing Shawn apart. Unfortunately, she could not fight back against him since things had already reached that point.The woman could only close her eyes and steel her heart to remove the last article of clothing.Meanwhile, the three men stared at her with a mixtu

Hattie was only left with one choice—to comply with Shawn’s wishes.She had already weighed her pros and cons in just two seconds.For the first time, panic, anxiety, and pain were evident on her face.Hattie made herself look inferior to Shawn as she looked at him nervously. Then, she reached out carefully and tugged on his sleeve in an attempt to gauge his response. “Please, Shawn. I’m begging you. Please don’t do this to me, okay? I didn’t do anything at all. Why wouldn’t you let me go? Please don’t send it to anyone else.”Naturally, she was referring to the clip of her striptease.Shawn’s gaze was fixed on the delicate and exquisite hands tugging at his sleeve. These very hands had been responsible for unspeakable atrocities. He shook off those hands in disgust, his tone conveying an unmistakable sense of impatience as he said, “Stop lying to me. I know you’re begging me right now just because I have leverage over you. I can help you keep this secret and not send this video
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 595 Do You Miss Me
The architecture in this area was truly stunning. Despite their antiquity, they imbued the locale with an inimitable charm, having undergone recent renovations.Willow and poplar trees also inhabited the area, and they complemented the buildings perfectly.Claire couldn’t help but take a deep breath. The fresh air was very welcoming and invigorating.She really enjoyed being out in nature, so she couldn’t help but yearn for more.If she could spend the rest of her life with the man she loved and her children in this place, it would be a dream come true.Javier’s cold expression suddenly popped into her mind.With a slight throb in her heart, Claire drew another deep breath and tried to push that thought out of her mind.It was a luxury to be able to think about Javier at a time like this. That was why she couldn’t afford to think about him. After all, the more she did so, the more agonizing it was for her.She already had a baby growing in her womb. It was the product of love b
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 596 Too Embarrassing
Charles noticed Claire’s expression, so he hurriedly motioned her to eat, saying, “Hurry up and eat. Make yourself at home.”A smile curled on Claire’s lips. Even though she was starving, she still acted and behaved elegantly. In a way, she still presented herself as a scion of a wealthy family.The woman ate slowly and as politely as she could. On the other hand, Charles felt that she looked even more charming when eating.He finally tore his gaze off Claire’s form without giving anything away. Suddenly, he remembered something, so he decided to probe her. “Claire, if I remember correctly, you’re the oldest scion of the Weiss family.”Claire was caught off guard momentarily, clearly not expecting Charles to bring her family up. A flash of awkwardness streaked past her face at that moment.The Weiss family was a part of her history that she refused to talk about no matter what. She had no idea why Charles would ask her about them.“The thing is, I’m no longer a part of that famil
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 597 No Memory of Him
“The study? Isn’t that Javier’s turf? Is Ollie with him right now?” Claire thought in horror.It was very plausible that Ollie was currently with Javier, which made her heart skip a beat.If Javier truly was there, then he could easily discover the fact that Ollie had been texting her the whole time.With that thought in mind, the woman didn’t dare to reply to Ollie.Meanwhile, Ollie started feeling aggrieved when he noticed that Claire wasn’t texting back after waiting for a long time.He didn’t know what Claire had been doing over the past few days. It was bad enough that she ignored him, but she didn’t even follow up on the promise she had made a few days ago. She claimed she wanted to come over to Diroux Residences and take him away.“Mommy is such a meanie! Great, now I’m sad!” he thought moodily.Ollie was still a child, after all. Hence, a look of disappointment soon took over his features.Javier happened to notice that expression.He studied Ollie from the corner of h

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
