Chapter 121 The Consequences of Deceiving Me

Through gritted teeth, Javier asked, “Did you say that Hattie called Claire earlier and invited her out?”Henry nodded. “Yes, sir. Madam did not want to meet her, but Miss Snyder insisted and hung up before she could say anything else.”Javier immediately told him to bring him to Hattie’s place.Hattie lived close to Javier’s house. It wasn’t clear if this was done deliberately or not.Less than fifteen minutes later, Javier’s car stopped in front of her house. He got out of the car and headed straight for the door.When Hattie opened the door and saw Javier, she was delighted. “Javier, you’re here!”Javier did not ask to go in. He just asked coldly, “Is Claire here?”Hattie’s smile froze on her face when she heard Claire’s name. She stood there awkwardly, looking disappointed. “Is that why you’re here at this hour? You're looking for her?”“Hattie Snyder, we’ve known each other for a long time, so please cut the shit. If she’s here, let her out now before I lose it,” Javier interrupte

Claire was at Nuvolo Palace. She was unhurt. However, she was still trapped. All she got after hours of trying to escape was laughter from Charles’ men.Feeling like a clown, she was red in the face with anger.“Let me go!” She was no longer scared of the people who had kidnapped her. All she wanted was to escape.She changed position and tried to look for another way out, but her efforts were in vain.She opened the window. The night air was cold and brittle.Looking down, her breath caught in her chest. It was too high. If she jumped, she would definitely die.Swallowing, she closed the window.After half an hour of searching in vain, Claire gave up. She sat opposite Charles, who was observing her with some interest. When she sat down, he looked intrigued.Claire drank some water and slammed the glass down. “What was your plan for me after buying me?”“Housekeeping, and…” Charles dragged out the end of his sentence deliberately. He wanted to tease this woman as he found her interesti

Chapter 123 Let Her Go

“He says he wants to see you, sir,” the man continued.Charles frowned. He didn’t understand why Javier wanted to see him. It wasn’t like they were on the best of terms, so why was he trying to look for trouble? “What’s Javier Marquez doing here? I don’t want to see him. I’m busy,” Charles said, waving a hand impatiently.Claire perked up when she heard Javier’s name. She could see an escape now. She knew that Javier was here to save her.All she wanted right now was to see him. A smile appeared on her face.Charles’ assistant was also surprised. He knew that Javier and his boss were not on the best of terms. Moreover, coming over at this time of the night was like going on a suicide mission.Charles thought for a moment, then told his assistant, “Get rid of him.”The assistant was just about to leave when Javier appeared at the door of the room. He scanned the room quickly. His imposing manner was overwhelming.Charles’ expression changed. “Why, if it isn't Javier Marquez?” he snorted

Chapter 124 I Thought You Loved Her

Claire grabbed Javier’s sleeve nervously when she heard this. “That’s a hundred million dollars you’re talking about. Don’t be rash!”She hadn’t done anything to deserve a hundred million from Javier. How was she supposed to pay him back in the future?Javier flicked off an invisible speck of dirt from his shirt without looking at her. He was staring at Charles calmly. “Let her go.”Charles gave him a sinister smile, which looked gross to Javier. “I changed my mind. If she can capture your heart, Mr. Marquez, then she’s probably priceless.”Claire was so angry that she almost went up to Charles herself to slap him. “What did you just say? Repeat that to my face,” she said, trembling in anger.Javier, on the other hand, didn’t seem to be angry. He grabbed Claire by the waist and told her gently, “It’s okay. I’m here.” Then, he turned his gaze to Charles. “Then I’m afraid I’ll have to resort to violence.”The atmosphere immediately cooled down at that declaration. Javier’s men stepped fo

Chapter 125 Cruel

Ollie nodded while glancing at Javier in surprise and delight. Admiration shone in his eyes as he exclaimed, “I knew you wouldn’t break your promise, Dad!”Claire shot a look in Javier’s direction while having mixed feelings. The memory of what happened earlier seemed to have touched her heart.The moment she noticed Javier looking at her, Claire averted her gaze instantly while feeling slightly awkward. Then, she hugged Ollie tightly while saying, “Ollie, I thought I’d never see you again.”Those touching words didn’t move Ollie’s heart at all. Instead, they made him feel unnerved. Ollie gazed at Claire worriedly before asking, “What’s wrong, Mommy? Are you alright?”Claire let out a helpless sigh in return. She was just trying to ease the awkwardness, but it turned out that she made things even more awkward.“I’m fine. It was just something I said to make you feel better. It’s getting late now, so you should go rest.”Ollie nodded in response. Even though he still longed for hi

Chapter 126 Was She Worth It?

The moment Claire was done speaking, the expressions of the people in the company changed drastically. Claire’s expression was more than enough to show that she wasn’t lying at all.

There were even rumors traveling down the grapevine that he wanted Claire to get married to an old geezer.Obviously, Claire’s words were more convincing compared to Liam’s excuses.At that moment, everyone started looking down on Liam.

Claire spent the entire day waiting. However, the detective never got back to her with any news.That night, Claire drove home from work. Her worry over the matter, coupled with the fact that she was unable to rest well due to the terrifying events she had gone through the night before, made her unable to concentrate on driving.When she crossed the road, a tricycle suddenly ran a red light. The moment Claire saw the tricycle, she turned the steering wheel immediately out of instinct in order to swerve to the side. She ended up crashing into the car next to her uncontrollably.The sharp screech of the car brakes being stomped on was soon followed by a deafening bang that indicated the crash.

Chapter 128 Foolish Woman

Despite having said that, Claire couldn’t help but feel touched on the inside. She knew that Ollie was an obedient child, which warmed her heart.Meanwhile, Ollie nestled in Claire’s arms. He pulled out a cooling gel patch from his backpack and handed it to Claire. Then, he said eagerly, “Mommy, I used my allowance to buy this patch that can help your pain go away at the supermarket. The pretty sales lady told me that you won’t feel any pain after using this.”Upon noticing the cooling gel patch, Claire was so touched that words couldn’t even begin to describe what she was feeling. She hugged Ollie immediately and started showering him with kisses.“Mwah! My dear Ollie, I’m so happy right now! I knew you were the best! You’re not like a certain someone who was so fierce to me earlier!”The moment she was done speaking, Claire shot a glance at Javier, who remained silent throughout the entire exchange. A hint of resentment shone in her eyes as she did so.Javier just raised an eyeb

Chapter 129 Why Would You Mind Me Kissing My Own Wife?

It was not until Javier heard the sounds of regulated breathing coming from the spot next to him that his gaze flicked from his laptop screen to Claire’s face. The moment he took in her pale face as she slept, his eyes softened momentarily.Perhaps he didn’t even realize how tender his eyes had become, seeing as that tenderness dissipated in the blink of an eye.Suddenly, Javier had a feeling that he enjoyed the momentary tranquility. It was true that he was exhausted from staying up all night. However, he felt energized at that moment as he returned to his laptop and continued working.Claire must have felt pain radiating from her body in her sleep because she let out a groan at that moment before kicking her blanket away in a fit of annoyance, which revealed her body. Despite being clad in a hospital gown, Claire’s curves could still be seen through the clothing. She was a slim woman, but she was still well-endowed in all the right places.When Javier saw Claire, he stopped bre

Chapter 130 Taking Advantage of Him

After entering the ward, Patty placed the supplements on the bedside table before looking at Claire in concern. “Madam, how are you? Are you feeling better today?”Claire nodded in response, feeling quite warm because of Patty’s concern for her.“Thank you for your concern, Patty. I’m fine. I think I’ll be able to get discharged tomorrow.”It seemed that Claire would be staying the night in the hospital.“Then why don’t I take care of you tonight, Madam?” Patty offered compassionately while tucking the blanket into Claire’s sides.Claire wanted to turn Patty’s offer down. After all, she was an adult, and she would be fine even if no one took care of her. Just as she was about to formulate her response, Javier suddenly spoke up from the side. “I’ll be here tonight, Patty. You should go home.”He was still dealing with his documents without raising his head. However, his attitude was firm, and his word was final.Patty knew Javier’s temperament very well. She opened her mouth, but
