Chapter 654 Stop This

Author: Autumn Fell
Charles watched her with amusement when she wasn’t looking. After a while, he murmured, as if something crossed his mind, "Come to think of it, there's one thing I've always wondered; won't Ollie look for his father?'

Claire was initially slightly confused, but upon hearing his words, she was stunned. As if she had suddenly realized something, she couldn't help but look at the man in front of her with suspicion.

"Charles, don't you think you're acting strange today?" she asked. He always asked her about things that didn't matter, teasing her, and leaving her completely puzzled.

Charles rubbed his nose, feeling a little embarrassed. He rarely acted this way, which surprised Claire even more.

"You must be hiding something from me. Spill it," she urged.

But Charles didn't want to say more and changed the subject, saying, "You're wrong about that. I'm not hiding anything from you. I'm just bored and curious."

Although Claire still doubted his explanation, she couldn't point out

    However, Charles immediately understood what she was trying to ask and laughed lightly. He had an infectious kind of laugh that could put anyone at ease. Claire couldn't help but stare at him, feeling a little confused. She quickly returned to her senses, and said, "I was asking you a question, why are you laughing?"Charles played with the cigarette in his hand, and answered calmly, "I went to the hospital today."He didn’t give her any further explanation. Claire wanted to ask more, but the words were stuck in her throat. She couldn't possibly ask him who he met at the hospital; it would make it too obvious. Her disappointed expression immediately sparked an interest in Charles' heart. He knew that Claire was curious about something, so he continued, "I went to the hospital to see someone you know. Do you want to know who it is?"Claire was slightly stunned when she heard this, but she quickly caught on to what Charles meant."If I know them, is it...?"She didn't finish her

    The man on the other end of the call seemed busy, and he answered impatiently, "What’s up, Chantelle?" Hearing the ruckus on the other end, Chantelle's face immediately turned cold. "Armand, where are you? Why is it so noisy over there? Are you cheating on me and fooling around outside?"Armand seemed to have left the noisy location, and his voice was much clearer as he patiently explained, "Chantelle, what are you talking about? I'm just out for business."Although they were already engaged, Armand and Chantelle had yet to get married due to recent complications in the Weiss family.Feeling guilty for being here, Armand lowered his voice and asked, "Why are you calling so late? Do you need something?"Although they rarely talked these days, Armand still tried his best to satisfy Chantelle's requests if she had any. Feeling unhappy, Chantelle started to whine, "I thought you were really busy, but it turns out you're just out socializing. You didn’t even come to visit me. Did you

    At the hospital, the doctor allowed Chantelle to be discharged, but she refused, saying, “I still feel dizzy. Should I stay a bit longer for observation?”Jeanne was worried and checked her over. “Chantelle, are you okay? Where do you feel bad? Tell Mommy, hmm?”The doctor was taken aback since the report stated that she was completely fine. However, the person in bed looked pale. So, he hesitated and said, “If that’s the case, it would be best if Ms. Weiss stays in the hospital for a few more days.”Chantelle looked perplexed. “Okay.” Although she seemed to be in a dilemma, she was extremely happy and almost jumped out of bed. Then, the doctor prescribed some medication and examined her again before leaving.Once the doctor left, Jeanne looked at Chantelle’s strange expression and asked in confusion, “Chantelle, what’s the matter? Why can’t the doctor find out anything wrong?”If the doctor wasn’t skilled enough, she would ask Liam to get another one. Chantelle shook her head

    As he spoke, he looked at Chantelle on the bed with a gentle gaze and asked in concern, “How are you feeling, Chantelle? Are you better now?”Chantelle was lying in bed and quickly struggled to get up when she saw him. She also looked at him with a gentle gaze. “Armand, I’m happy that you’re here. I feel so much better.”Armand couldn’t stand such a gentle gaze and felt himself melt. Then, he quickly went to help Chantelle sit up. “Hey, you don’t feel well, so don’t move around. It’s all my fault. I should’ve visited you earlier.”Seeing her pitiful appearance, Armand felt guilty and distressed. He couldn’t help but blame himself for not visiting her sooner. He was such a heartless man.In contrast, Chantelle was happy. On the surface, she looked pitiful and knew it would deceive him. Jeanne looked at their intimate actions and knew it wasn’t appropriate for her to stay. So, she quickly found an excuse. “You two have a good chat. There’s something I need to deal with at home. Arm

    Thus, when he faced a woman, who looked similar to Claire, but was so gentle and loving to him, he couldn't help but cheat. This was why he accepted Chantelle. He didn’t love her, but he could find a hint of Clarie’s sweetness in her. In his dreams, he wished to ask why Claire would brutally destroy their relationship and do something so petty to hurt her own sister. She was really heartless.So, after Claire returned to the country, he ignored everything about her. Now, he couldn’t let her go because of Chantelle. Thinking of that, he was even more sure of his idea and decided to schedule a time to look for Claire tomorrow. Soon, Chantelle fell asleep in Armand’s arms after crying. He gently laid her back on the bed and stayed with her. Since something was troubling him, he left soon after.When he was gone, Chantelle opened her eyes and showed a delighted smile, feeling extremely happy. All that was left to do now was to wait for Armand to take revenge on Claire, and she'd en

    Claire frowned and repeatedly read the text. She felt distressed as Armand had always been her knight in shining armor.How had he become so cruel? She put her phone away and decided to ignore his threat. She had to deal with too many things. She didn’t want to have any entanglements with the people in the past.Then, she received another text. “Claire Weiss, you'd better not challenge my limits! Otherwise, I won’t guarantee what I’ll do at Javier’s wedding tomorrow. I might make you famous!”Armand’s expression was twisted after he sent out the message. He knew Claire wouldn’t give in when he sent the first text, but he didn’t believe she wouldn’t take action after he sent the second one. After all, Claire was currently with Charles. If he did offend Charles, it really wasn’t worth the loss. That was what Armand thought, but Claire had a different idea in mind. She could never allow anything to happen at tomorrow’s wedding. Absolutely not! If Armand really did stir up trouble

    Why did she feel like Charles was hiding something from her, and she couldn’t guess what was on his mind?Charles raised his brow. “What did you think it was?”Suddenly, Claire was rendered speechless. After all, this wasn’t Charles’ fault.They were silent. Finally, Claire looked at the time and sighed, “Tomorrow will be his wedding.”There was a hint of sadness on her face as she said that. Looking at her, Charles felt distressed. It felt like a needle poking into his heart, making him feel helpless. “What’s the matter? If you regret it now, you can go back to him,” he couldn’t help but say. However, he was taken aback by his own words. When did he become like this? Was he jealous? At that moment, Claire was immersed in her own mixed emotions and didn’t notice Charles’ abnormal behavior. She sighed again. “There’s no turning back at this point. I only hope Ollie and I will be safe in the future.”Charles suddenly wanted to hug her when he saw how upset she was. However, he d

    Hattie was happily basking in the guest's flattery. She was getting increasingly excited. Soon, she started to chat with them.Beside her, Javier stood there awkwardly and speechless, thinking, “Heh! Look good together? We’re not even married, and all of you call her Mrs. Marquez?”If it wasn’t to lure Claire out, he would’ve ignored Hattie. It didn’t take long for the guests to notice that Javier was unhappy. In fact, Javier looked like everyone here owed him money, while Hattie looked like a happy wife leaning on him while holding his arm. In actuality, Javier had distanced himself from her and wasn’t touching Hattie at all. Feeling him move away, Hattie felt embarrassed. Thus, she continued to stay in the same position. Therefore, it made the guests think they looked close. Even the guests picked up on Javier’s weird attitude. They all knew this wedding was not normal and didn’t continue talking. One by one, they found excuses and left. When Shwan arrived, he saw Hattie acce

    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

    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

    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

    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
