The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 621 Shocked
A mix of understanding and disdain rose in Charles' heart, but he put on a gentlemanly smile and said, "You're Liam's daughter, Chantelle, right? I'm sure you know who I am."Chantelle felt a little uneasy from being pinned by Charles' piercing gaze earlier, but upon hearing his words, she relaxed, nodded, and smiled politely. "I'm Chantelle. I know you're Charles. Nice to meet you."Charles nodded without making a sound, and he did not show much emotion on his face. However, Chantelle was infatuated merely by looking at the man in front of her. Because every gesture and movement Charles made was innately elegant and noble, coupled with his sensual and alluring looks, it was enough to make countless women shriek and fall in love with him.Regardless of whether he liked her or not, the simple act of sitting opposite her and smiling made her heart throb. Armand was not even close to this! With that in mind, Chantelle quickly pumped herself up and forced herself to look elegant and g
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 622 Not Afraid of Being Investigated
With this in mind, Charles started to lose his patience, and his gaze became cold. He grunted in disdain and said, "So, you really are a good sister—helping her take care of her fiance for so long."Chantelle noticed that Charles looked different; there was a look of disdain and contempt in his eyes that deeply stung her. She was shocked and rushed to explain, "Charles, it's really not what you think; trust me.""Oh? Why should I trust you? Who are you to me that I should just believe you? Plus, don't you think I know how to look into this on my own?" Charles was intrigued and looked at her with a raised brow.This made Chantelle hate Armand even more. If they had not gotten engaged, this might not be an issue now. With this thought in mind, Chantelle's face showed despair, and she was on the verge of tears. However, she forced a smile and explained, "No, Charles, I know that you can look into my background. That's why I ask that you trust me; I have not done anything, and of course
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 623 Don't Hurt My Face
Nevertheless, he was not interested in this. He only wanted to know the man's identity. With that thought in mind, Charles began to lose his patience. He then sneered and looked at her coldly. "Chantelle, who gave you the courage to speak to me like that? Do you have a death wish? I'll ask you one last time—who is that man?"At this moment, Charles was surrounded by a dense, seething aura, and the temperature in the room seemed to have dropped several degrees.Chantelle was shocked and felt extremely cold. She rapidly put on a simpering smile and said, "Charles, I really have no idea who that man is. I was still very young five years ago and would never have done anything like that."She acted pitifully and hoped to obtain sympathy from the man in front of her. But she really did not understand how cruel Charles could be.He just coldly surveyed Chantelle with indifference in his eyes, as if she were an object. He lost his final bit of patience and grunted callously, signaling his
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 624 Heartless
They had grown up in the same household, yet there were stark differences in their upbringing.Charles pushed Chantelle's tearful face away and said disdainfully, "Clearly you're different from Claire. She's much more sophisticated than you."As he spoke, he took a handkerchief and wiped his hand thoroughly.Touching Chantelle made him feel dirty and gross.Even though Chantelle did not agree with what he said, she knew that she had to act defeated as her life was in his hands. She nodded and begged for forgiveness. "You're right; we're not the same. Please let me go, I beg you. I won't do it again!""What?" Charles laughed coldly. "You mean you intended to harm Claire again before this? I didn't take you to be that cruel." He gestured for his men to grab her again and looked down at her disdainfully. "I have a fun idea. Do you think Claire would be happy to disfigure your face with her own hands?"Trembling, Chatelle struggled and cried, "No, please don't disfigure me. I beg you!"She
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 625 Arrogance
The sunset filtered through the window and bathed the silent ward in a warm shower of gold, brightening up the entire room.Chantelle lay unmoving on the bed.Under the light of the sunset, Chantelle's face was pale. She looked fragile.Soon, the light disappeared, replaced by the darkness of the night.The door to the hospital ward opened.Chantelle glanced across the room to find her mother standing in front of her, looking at her with equal parts tenderness and distress. "Chantelle, what happened to you? How did you get hurt?" she asked."It was Charles! Charles threatened me and forced me to tell him what happened to Claire five years ago. I don't know anything! This must be Claire's doing. You must avenge me!" Thinking of the cruel look on Charles' face, Chantelle burst into tears.Jeanne had already had her suspicions. Now that Chantelle had confirmed them, she just felt sorry for her. She hugged her, trembling with fury. "How dare he do this. He has gone too far this time," she
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 626 Couldn't Help but Be Sorry for Her
As Jeanne and Chantelle considered their options, Chantelle began to get anxious."Then what should we do now, Mom? Is there really nothing we can do?" She looked at Jeanne pleadingly. She really wanted revenge and to be with Charles.She was at a loss.Jeanne hugged her daughter and patted her gently on her back to comfort her. She was older and wiser, so even though things weren't looking the best at the moment, she was at least calmer than her.Chantelle, on the other hand, couldn't stop crying. She was hurt, not just by love, but also physically.After hearing about what happened to Chantelle, Liam arrived at the hospital as well.He had decided to come and ask Chantelle what happened since it involved Charles. He had a reputation to keep. However, his mind was in turmoil. That was because Charles had called him earlier, and what he said had shocked him.After getting Chantelle's room number from the receptionist, Liam walked in to find Jeanne and Chantelle hugging each other.See
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 627 What Did She Do to Deserve This
Wasn't Liam here to help her?Liam knew that Chantelle wouldn't like what he said either, but he had to continue. "I know you don't like to hear this, but it's better if you let him go early. Then you won't have to suffer as much."Jeanne finally knew why Liam was there. "I thought you were here to comfort your daughter," she said angrily. "I sold my family heirlooms to help you back when you were in trouble, and this is how you repay me? I must have been blind to have married you!"Jeanne's eyes were burning with anger. Liam had no answer to her demands, so he just stood there without saying anything.He'd had a good start in life. With the help of his wife, Jeanne, he had managed to set up a successful business, so he didn't want to argue with her too much. However, it didn't stop him from getting annoyed.Irritation flashed across his face. "Charles should be responsible for this, but what's happened has happened. This just proves that Charles doesn't care about you. Just listen to
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 628 Left Without Choice
"What did I do to deserve this?" Chantelle wailed. At that moment, she looked nothing like the haughty Miss Weiss; all she could do was lament about Claire's wrongdoings.Liam finally lost his patience.He stood up and glared at Chantelle. "Chantelle, I thought you were better than this. I've always treated you well, but you have disappointed me."He took out a stack of papers from his bag and place it in front of her.Even though Chantelle managed to school her expression quickly, he still saw the flash of shock and disbelief."What is this, Dad?" Chantelle asked, feigning ignorance. On the other hand, when Jeanne saw the papers, she threw Chantelle a worried look. She had her suspicions, especially when she recalled Chantelle's recent strange behavior.Seeing that Chantelle was prepared to deny everything, Liam felt disappointed.He was disappointed in her refusal to admit what she had done.When Claire was sexually assaulted five years ago, he had already felt something was wrong.

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
