Chapter 775 Don't Worry; I'm Here

Author: Autumn Fell
Claire did not sleep well that night, even though Javier was right beside her. She felt safe with Javier, but nightmares still plagued her, plunging her into a pit of chaos that made her feel lost. All she knew was that she was terrified.

In her nightmares, she just kept running, running, and running, unable to make any sound. The same dream kept repeating itself, making her feel confused and scared. Just as she was panicking, cold sweat drenching her forehead, a voice sounded. "Don't be scared. I'm here."

She didn't know whose voice it was, but it made her feel safe.

After another dream about falling off a cliff, Claire jolted awake with a scream, breathing heavily.

"Nightmares again?" Javier asked in concern.

Claire's mind was blank as she nodded stiffly. She now knew where the voice in her dreams had come from. For a second, she felt stifled, as if her heart had been replaced with a piece of heavy marble, constricting her chest and leaving her short of breath.

    Javier began working as soon as he reached his office. Claire also did not sit about idly. She went back to her office and met Brian at the door."Good morning, Mr. Lucas," she greeted, doing her best to sound perky."Morning," Brian answered. "You look like you didn't sleep well last night."As a manager, he was normally good at keeping their personal and professional lives separate, so Claire was surprised by his concern. She raised her head and replied, "I'm fine, thank you. Probably just a little tired. No need to worry about me."Brian gave her a deep look that conveyed his disbelief, but he didn't say anything much before going back to his office. Javier had given him a lot of tasks to do after he came back.As usual, Claire busied herself with the issue of the workers. The prognosis wasn't good, but she did receive a surprising piece of news—the developer's lawyers had just rejected the case.At first, she was surprised to hear that, but after some thought, she understood why.

Moreover, she was a woman who Claire was very familiar with.An idea popped into the latter's head as she stopped in her tracks and quickly slipped into the shadows in order to conceal herself.There, she witnessed Hattie getting out of a luxury car and slowly sauntering toward the company which she had just left.When Claire witnessed that scene, she couldn't help but feel suspicious.Could it be that the man known as Mr. Newton had something to do with Hattie?Besides, Hattie never showed up in public recently.

    Claire shook her head stubbornly. "Nope. There won't be justice in this world if everyone is afraid of taking down evil."Brian was amused by the woman's faux serious expression. He looked at her, suddenly feeling that she was a very interesting woman.However, the man suddenly remembered something. With a stoic expression on his face, he warned, "The people from the Anderson Group seem quite fishy. You must be careful from now on. Let me know right away if anything happens."Claire nodded in response, feeling her confidence starting to charge her up after receiving Brian's words of encouragement.Since she didn't have anything to do for the time being, she decided to go to the construction site and console the workers there.Most of the workers were already exhausted thanks to the incident, not to mention it had yet to be solved. The Anderson Corporation had already noted the number of years the workers needed to work for them on their contracts. That was why no matter how reluct

    Some of the people even started crowding outside the Anderson Group and carried out protests against their inhumane actions. At the same time, they demanded the company to pay the workers their salaries.As expected, the Internet and the mass media were extremely powerful. The Anderson Group was supposed to emerge as the final victor, but thanks to the article, the company's image suffered terribly.Trevor only found out about the article when he saw a huge crowd gathering right outside the main entrance of the company.He had spent years surviving in the business world, so he wasn't easily intimidated. On the contrary, the average person didn't dare offend him at all. He did notice the incident regarding the blue-collar workers on the news channel, but he didn't pay any attention to it. After all, the mass media didn't amount to anything back when he was building his own business empire.However, what the older man didn't realize was that the world had already gone through a massi

    Silence was restored to the corridor outside the operating theater for a moment. Everyone fervently hoped that Claire would be fine once her surgery was over.At that moment, the colleague who was on good terms with Claire suddenly remembered something. She asked the worker next to her, "I remember Claire mentioning that someone staged a dangerous accident just to target her on your construction site a few days ago. Is that true?"The workers nodded their heads immediately. Some of them were present when that accident happened, so it was impossible for them to forget about it."Yes. Miss Weiss was extremely terrified back then. Despite her condition, she still reassured us to not worry and that she would get justice to side with us."One of the workers was extremely distressed when he recalled the accident that almost injured Claire gravely. He even started crying on the spot.Shock took over Javier's senses the moment he heard the conversation. He quickly strode over to the worke

    Trevor was caught off guard by Javier's sudden comment, and he knew that what he did must’ve been exposed. However, Yvan had assured him that no one would find out, and even if someone did, he would find a way to handle it. But now, why was he the one being thrown under the bus?Meanwhile, Yvan had completely vanished after this incident, leaving no trace at all. It seemed that this was his plan all along. He left before Javier could say anything about it. He was truly a scumbag. Even a fool would’ve realized they have been used by Yvan. He had been manipulating him all these years so he wouldn’t be so easily exposed. Now he was in a very tight situation. Not only did he have to face the backlash online and the partnering companies, but he also had to worry about his company, which had faced severe drawbacks due to the evidence Javier presented. If he didn't cut his losses in time and handle these matters promptly, his company would truly face bankruptcy. But even he himself didn

    Although Trevor was upset and frustrated at the situation, he had a lot on his plate, and he couldn't afford to waste a single second. He was facing bankruptcy and backlash from the public, so he had to make a public apology as soon as possible. Nothing would be resolved until Trevor stood before the media and apologized sincerely for everything. In the end, Trevor paid the workers' wages in full, but even so, the losses of the Anderson Group were beyond salvaging. Even though he had handled everything, the Anderson group would never return to its former glory. Meanwhile, Claire was unaware of the current development as she was still in the hospital. It was already morning when she woke up, her body still felt weak, and she was in a daze due to the side effects of the anesthesia. The first thing she saw was Javier when she opened her eyes. Initially, she thought she was seeing things in her drowsy state as she did not know where she was. But as time passed, Claire's mind gradually

    "Claire, you gave us a scare! How are you feeling now?" Lea placed a large bouquet of lilies on the table while asking with concern. Claire's boss, Brian, stood beside her. Although he hadn't spoken, Claire knew that he was also very worried about her. Claire was very moved by their actions and replied embarrassedly, "Thank you for your concerns. I'm fine now. The doctor said I just needed a good rest."She had spoken to the doctor, and what she said was indeed true. Everyone was relieved to hear that she was speaking the truth. One of the workers, recalling the various incidents that had happened in the past few days, angrily said, "That guy, Trevor, is such a monster. He kept finding ways to harm you. Thankfully, you got luck on your side!" It was only then that Claire realized she didn't know the progress of the situation. She only remembered that she had recently exposed the evil deeds of the Anderson Group publicly, and she'd had an accident on her way to the construction sit

    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
