Chapter 181 Bitterness and Injustice

After a long while without much response from Carlyle, Claire walked over to his side and sat down gently. From a distance, she could see a face that had similar features to Carlyle engraved on the tombstone. It was at this moment that she realized that he must have inherited his innate gentleness and elegance from his mother, as the expression between their eyebrows and eyes was something that acting could not portray. Claire started to recall her first impression of Carlyle and she began to reminisce about the past. She asked softly, "Carlyle, do you remember what happened when we first met?"Knowing that she wouldn't get a response, Claire continued, "At the time, I accidentally spilled some wine on my clothes. It wasn't your fault, but you kept apologizing and making amends like a child who did something wrong."Later, when I recognized you, I realized that you were just as the rumors described—gentle and polite, unlike those arrogant people in the entertainment industry. I didn'

Chapter 182 He Never Hugged a Woman First

Claire watched Carlyle cry silently. She did not try to comfort him because she knew he was tired and needed to release his emotions. Both Claire and his manager felt their hearts ache to see Carlyle so vulnerable and fragile. They breathed a sigh of relief as they exchanged a glance. It was good that Carlyle was venting. They were afraid that he would shut down and feel hopeless about the world. While Claire was still in a daze, Carlyle suddenly turned around and hugged her, startling her. She wanted to push him away, but her heart softened when she saw tears in his eyes and allowed him to hug her while he cried. He was close to breaking down, so he probably didn't know what he was doing. His manager couldn't help but stare in shock, wondering if their relationship was more than it seemed. He had known Carlyle for years but had never seen him hug a woman. However, now was not the time for gossip. His well-being was all that mattered. He sighed deeply and said, "It's good to cry. Cry a

Chapter 183 More Evidence Is Needed

Claire put down her phone upon reading this. The public opinion just played a minor part in this matter, the evidence presented by Carlyle and the lawyers was what mattered most. Claire couldn't help but sigh as she thought, "This battle is not going to end so soon." Meanwhile, Javier was in his office dealing with work when his assistant barged in urgently, exclaiming, "Mr. Marquez, we have news of Carlyle. He's made an appearance." Javier looked up sharply upon hearing the news and furrowed his eyebrows, asking, "What's going on?" He too had only read of Carlyle's appearance on the news. He knew Henry had just found out by the look on his face. Henry was hesitant as he muttered, "Well, it seems like Miss Weiss found him. She searched for him at a cemetery, then he made a public appearance to clarify the matter." Javier raised an eyebrow, his cold gaze made Henry shudder. He lowered his head and held his breath, wondering, "Did I say something wrong? Miss Weiss was indeed the

Chapter 184 Are You Jealous?

Javier looked at the picture in detail and noticed Claire and himself in the abstract drawing. Ollie used bright colors to represent people. However, if Ollie hadn't told him, he wouldn't have thought that he could come up with such a design. Javier couldn't help but admire his drawing and praised his creativity and artistic skills genuinely, "You did a good job, Ollie." His compliment was very sincere. Ollie's abstract art utilized a very popular style from France. Moreover, he was able to create such a piece at a young age which meant he was quite an artistic genius. Ollie was delighted to hear the compliment and smiled with joy, asking, "Can I put it in my room when I finish it?" Javier nodded fondly. "Of course, it's up to you." Ollie happily headed to the side happily to continue drawing. Claire was fast asleep on the sofa with her laptop still on her knees. Javier couldn't help but frown, knowing that she must have been worn out from meddling in other people's affairs. De

Chapter 185 Don't You Have a Guilty Conscience

A frail little girl about ten years old, wearing a loose hospital gown that made her look even frailer, barged in. Her delicate face bore a striking resemblance to Sally. Her large eyes were brimming with tears as she looked at her mother helplessly. Henry raised his eyebrows and guessed that she had woken up and accidentally overheard their conversation before coming in. Upon seeing Wendy, Sally's eyes lit up with joy, but it was quickly replaced by panic. She averted her gaze and said, "Wendy, it's great that you woke up. Mom has been worried about you." However, Wendy paid no attention to her concern and looked directly at her mother, choking up as she said, "Mom, please tell me what's going on. I heard everything just now." For the past few days, she had been in a daze, but she suddenly woke up feeling refreshed and was on her way to find her mother when she overheard their conversation at the door. She had no idea that the world had already turned upside down because of her.

However, Ned, not only did you not plan to report to the police, but you also kept demanding compensation of twenty million dollars from me. I can’t help but suspect your true intentions.”Everyone’s gazes fell on Ned once again.
