The Return: Dad Quest Initiated Chapter 98 The New Assistant
Some time had passed after the call ended, but Claire remained cheery as she kept picturing an embarrassed Javier. She had spent most of her days with him, so she now understood his temper better.“Javier isn’t as mean as he seems—his aloofness is what gives him a bad reputation. Maybe I’m seeing this other side of him because I’ve been spending more time alone with him,” she thought while unknowingly smiling.After lunchtime, the caller from this morning came to the office for her interview. She stood before Claire, and only then did Claire realize she was as lively and talkative as she sounded on the phone. Not to mention, the girl was also much smaller in height. Claire possessed a more elegant and chic beauty that contrasted with more delicate, petite women others often adored. Hence, she admired the girl. With an intrigued and friendly tone, she asked, “Hi, you can call me Claire. What’s your name, age, and education level?”“Nice to meet you, Claire. I’m Raina. I’m 21, and I’ve

Claire stood there thinking for some time before recalling something and rushing to her office. Once she got back, she switched on her laptop. After clicking and typing a few things, she found information on Esret Skin. It turned out that Esret Skin’s popularity was rising rapidly, so they wanted to hire a brand ambassador to endorse them. The brand needed a representative with good looks and sizable fan support online and offline to grow its global presence. In most cases, women’s and men’s beauty companies would hire female and male ambassadors, respectively. That wasn’t the case for Esret Skin. They already had the renowned starlet, Ysobel Norris, as their ambassador but wanted a male celebrity to endorse their brand alongside her. “That’s a bold move on their part to introduce themselves into the international market.” Just then, Claire thought of something and typed on her keyboard hastily, researching more information. “Judging from the current situation, the schedules of top m

For the next two days, Claire’s post grew more popular on Twitter. It even got to the point of appearing on social media and online news headlines for several days. All that success brought Thomas some additional fame, and his fanbase grew faster than before. Although there were many positive reactions on Twitter, Esret Skin still hadn’t contacted Claire for an endorsement deal with Thomas. Alas, there was nothing more Claire could do, so she gradually lost hope.…On the third day, a meeting occurred in Esret Skin’s headquarters. Several of their domestic executive members were screening suitable brand ambassadors. Choosing the right male celebrity was also crucial for them to enter the international market, so many of Esret Skin’s directors participated in the screening.One of the directors in charge of the domestic market operation said, “I don’t think we should hire a random guy to endorse our brand. After all, we’re trying to introduce ourselves to the global market. It’s better

When Claire got home at night, she was in a sour mood because Esret Skin still hadn’t contacted her.Seeing the former’s grim expression, Ollie set aside his homework and ran toward her while pouting. “What’s wrong, Mommy? Are you sad?”That slightly improved Claire’s mood, and she circled her arms around Ollie while forcing a smile. “I’m okay, Ollie. I was merely worrying about work. Don’t worry.”“There, there, Mommy. You won’t have to work so hard when I grow up. I promise I’ll take care of you!” Ollie assured as though he were an adult, his chest puffing with determination. A wave of joy washed over Claire just then. She hugged him tighter and pecked every inch of his face, grateful to have a loving son like Ollie.“Indeed, Madam,” Patty chimed in while giggling. “You shouldn’t overwork yourself. It doesn’t hurt to have Sir look after you, you know?”That was when Javier descended the stairs and heard the conversation. Yet, he glanced blankly at Claire, not a word coming from his

The next day, Claire received a call from Esret Skin’s representative. She had just woken up but immediately became energized when she saw who had called her. Pretending to be calm, she asked, “Hi, is something the matter?”The person on the call didn’t beat around the bush. He immediately explained, “We’re hoping to hire Thomas as our brand ambassador for this season. Please let us know if he’s willing and if his schedule allows it.”A moment passed as Claire suppressed the excitement bubbling in her chest. Then, she replied with a level tone, “I see. I’ve just checked Thomas’ schedule, and he’s open to participating in your endorsement deal.”“Great. If you have questions, please drop by our office with Thomas this afternoon. We look forward to working with you.” With that, the representative hung up, leaving Claire with a broad, toothy grin. She sat on the bed and suddenly thought about the party Javier mentioned last night. Claire knew she had to attend it since she didn’t have ma

The other employees returned to work once David left. Only Thomas, Claire, and Raina remained in the training room by then. That was when Raina snapped out of her daze, ran toward Claire, and gave the latter a thumbs up. “You’re amazing, Claire! That’s the most gallant and dashing thing anyone has ever done. I’d fall for you big time if I were a man!”Raina had a lively temper, so she chattered away and even imitated Claire’s actions from earlier, arrogantly saying, “You have no choice but to suck it up even if you’re unhappy with this outcome!”The former’s enthusiasm amused Claire, whose features softened as she put on a pretend frown to nag, “That’s enough, now. Come on, you should take Thomas to get his injuries tended.”Only then did Raina recall Thomas got punched twice by Nicholas earlier. It was because she happened to be in the way that Thomas rushed to her rescue, getting struck in the end. Not wanting to delay anymore, Raina hurriedly got a medical kit and asked someone expe

Claire knew David would never accept defeat that easily. Confidence gleamed in her eyes as she thought, “He doesn’t scare me. So what if he tries to get revenge? He can come at me because I’ll be ready for his attacks. No one frightens me, Claire Weiss—and I certainly won’t go easy on a twisted scumbag like him!”That afternoon, she got Thomas to tidy himself up before visiting the head director of Esret Skin. Once they arrived at the company, Claire briefly explained the hiring situation and endorsement details to Thomas. Soon, Henry, the secretary, led the two to the head director’s office upstairs. He knocked on the door and informed, “Ms. Zachman, Thomas Bjorn, and his manager have arrived.”“Send them in.” With that, Jayda set her work aside and looked up at her two visitors.“It’s nice to meet you. That’s Thomas, and I’m Claire, his manager,” Claire greeted while flashing a polite smile as one should toward an influential figure. Before she arrived, she had already researched th

Now they had settled things, the plan was to discuss hiring fees and photoshoot details. The three quickly got to work, and before signing the contract, Jayda requested Thomas to do some trial shots with their photographer. Claire and Thomas complied at once.Time flew by. Eventually, they wrapped up their discussion, and Claire shot a look at Thomas, hinting to him, “Give them your best performance. I’m rooting for you!” To that, Thomas no longer felt anxious. He nodded at her as though saying, “Got it, Claire. I’ll do my best!”The trio soon arrived at the studio, where many employees prepared the equipment and got ready to watch Thomas do the shoot. Some were also Esret Skin’s executives that didn’t root for him during the company meeting. Many were still bitter about losing their choice of male stars to Thomas, so they waited at the studio, hoping to see him fail. Yet, once the cameras started snapping away, Thomas erupted with confidence. That enhanced his already perfect looks,

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
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
