The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 709 Won’t Admit Defeat
He wanted to retort sarcastically but quickly remembered Claire’s position, and immediately changed his tone, putting on a polite smile. "Ms. Weiss, of course, I must show up. How could I not attend this party to celebrate your return?" As he spoke, he beckoned at a waiter and took a glass of red wine from the tray, raising it and exclaiming, "To Ms. Weiss! Welcome back."Claire looked at the raised glass and felt somewhat embarrassed. She was currently pregnant, and since her pregnancy wasn't showing yet, many people were unaware of it. However, that didn't mean she could drink alcohol.Claire smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I don't drink alcohol anymore. I'll have tea instead."Then, she picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, accepting David’s toast for her. However, David’s anger boiled when he saw that Claire barely acknowledged him, and his face darkened. He tried to keep his anger at bay, refraining from erupting into a string of curses as he downed the glass a

However, they were unaware that Raina was secretly listening to them from one of the cubicles, and her face turned as white as a sheet. She was clearly scared to death by what she heard. She had come to cool off in the restroom for a moment, but she never expected to witness this exchange between David and Morrow. She wasn’t clueless as to what they were up to as she had heard rumors about their deeds. But it was her first time seeing it firsthand. The first thing that came to her mind was Claire when she saw David handing the drug to Morrow. Although they didn't mention any names, Raina's instincts told her that Claire must be their target. This thought struck fear into Raina’s heart, and her face turned even paler. She made up her mind to tell Claire about this matter before something happened. Raina did not waste another second and exited the restroom to look for Claire. She found her sitting on the side of the party, seemingly in a deep discussion with Morrow. This further confir
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 711 I Missed You
"I just asked you to switch shirts with me, why are you so scared?"Claire also thought that it wasn't appropriate for Raina to exchange clothes with Morrow, especially since Raina looked terrified. "That's enough, Mr. Marquez," she said hurriedly to smooth things over. "I know you're not an unreasonable person. Stop making my staff feel uncomfortable."Morrow didn't answer her. Instead, he looked over her shoulder at something behind her with a surprised expression.Perplexed, Claire turned and followed his gaze.To her surprise, she saw Javier heading toward them."Javier? Why are you here?" Blushing at the sudden attention, Claire hurried over to Javier and whispered quietly.She hadn't expected him to turn up as she hadn't told him where she was.Javier's usual distant expression was soft when he gazed at Claire. "I'm here to take you home. It's late. The kids miss you."At that, an audible gasp rose from the spectators. They were clearly shocked. Even though Claire and Javier's m

The rest of the journey was spent in silence. Neither of them spoke until they reached home.Once arrived, Claire ran upstairs to check on Ollie. He was asleep, but his rest was fitful.Patty told her that he had been waiting for her all night. Clearly, Ollie missed her.At that thought, Claire felt guilty. She should have come home earlier so that Ollie wouldn't have to go to sleep missing her.Gently, she kissed her son on the forehead and left his bedroom.In their room, Javier was lying in bed with his eyes closed as if he had fallen asleep.Claire knew that there was a lot going on at his company lately, so he must have been exhausted dealing with all of that. She went up to the bed slowly and lay down gently so that she wouldn't disturb him.She let her gaze wander across his perfect features, marveling at his good looks. Any woman would kill to look like him, she mused. However, his brows were tightly furrowed even as he slept, like he had a million troubles in his dreams. Cla
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 713 You've Cursed Us
Claire still referred to Sofia by her last name as Sofia had refused to accept her as her daughter-in-law.Patty was still worried about her, but she couldn't do anything to dissuade Claire as she watched her step into the living room.The atmosphere in the living room was heavy, which made Claire's heart sink as well.She felt a little hopeless.Sat primly on the sofa, Sofia turned when she heard Claire come in. Her expression went from distant to furious when she saw her."I wondered which diva it was," she said, snorting coldly. "Seeing as you didn't even bother to greet me."Claire stood some distance away from her and said quietly, "It's not that I didn't want to greet you, Mrs. Marquez. I just didn't want to disturb you.""All excuses," Sofia snapped impatiently. Her tone was harsh as she was angry. Chagrined, Claire opened her mouth to say something in return, but she changed her mind at the last minute.She swallowed her anger and just stayed quiet. No matter what she did, Sof
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 714 It's Not Me or Her, It's Me and Her
"You're right, Mom, it would be peaceful if you would stop causing trouble," Javier said. Sofia could hear the warning in his tone, and that angered her. "I brought you up all these years, just for you to forget all I've done for you after you got married, you ungrateful brat!" she cried, bursting into tears. Her reddened eyes demanded guilt and pity.Javier looked impatient. He told Patty to bring Claire upstairs before going over to Sofia. "Mom, what are you trying to do? I've had enough trouble at the company," he said coldly.His troubles at the company had nothing to do with Claire. He hadn't expected his mother to blame Claire.He didn't want to imagine what could've happened if he hadn't arrived home just in time.Sofia didn't like the grumble in his tone. "I'm worried about you. What did I do wrong? Everything I said was right. Look what has happened since you married Claire. Nothing has gone well for our family. Your grandfather had to be put on bed rest, and he's now ignorin
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 715 Unhappy
Claire was still worried, regardless of what Javier said. "Is it really impossible to save the project?"She knew how hard Javier had worked on it, and she felt guilty when she remembered that this was all caused by her.Javier shook his head. "Don't worry, I won't let it happen. I'm Javier Marquez, remember?"Anyone who wanted to take what belonged to him ought to think twice.Claire laughed at that. "You're right, how could I forget? You're Javier Marquez. Nothing can pull you down. I shouldn't have forgotten."She felt a little better, but still added, "You know, I feel a little sorry for Hattie. She must be really unhappy right now."Hearing this, Javier laughed as well and tapped her on the nose. "Why are you thinking about her? I told you—this has nothing to do with you. Stop worrying about her. She's not as innocent as you think she is."Javier did not tell her that Hattie was involved in the incident with Ollie.After all, she was pregnant and emotionally vulnerable. He was afr
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 716 Make Her Compromise
Claire soon forgot about Raina, as she had too many things to worry about.Unbeknownst to her at the time, she could have avoided a lot of tragedy if she had just interrogated Raina a little more.After Raina informed Claire about her leave of absence, she went back to the office, packed her things hurriedly, and prepared to head home.She had encountered some troubles lately, so she was planning to run away before things got worse.Just as she was leaving, she ran into someone.Frowning, she was about to scold the person when she saw who it was. "M—Mr. Marquez, why are you here?" she asked, trying not to panic as she backed away from him.Morrow watched, satisfied, as Raina stared at him in fear. After checking his surroundings to make sure no one was listening, he threatened her quietly, "Are you thinking of leaving? I'll have you know—I can find you wherever you go, especially if you tell anyone what you know. Your father is the general manager at Mendell Corporation, isn't he? How

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
The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 909 The People She Hated the Most
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
