Chapter 11 She Will Only Have Eyes for Me

“Mommy,” Ollie asked with his arms around Claire’s neck, watching as Javier walked away. “Where’s Daddy going?”Claire ruffled his hair adoringly. Ollie seemed to firmly believe that Javier was his father, and no amount of persuasion could convince him otherwise.Smiling exasperatedly, Claire was just about to tell Ollie that Javier wasn’t his father and that he shouldn’t address him as such when she caught sight of Chantelle approaching.“What do you want?” she asked stonily.Chantelle put on a show of being nice and reached out to cling onto Claire’s arm. “Nothing, I was just worried that you’d be bored, so I came to accompany you.”But she was never one to be kind. She was merely irritated by what had happened earlier and was here to taunt Claire.“I guess you weren’t aware, Claire, but I used to be really jealous of you.”Seeing how Claire ignored her, Chantelle continued forlornly with a twitch of her lips, “You had Dad by your side ever since you were born, but I had to live a re

Chapter 12 Getting Ollie Back

When Claire finally came around, she was no longer at Chantelle and Armand’s engagement party. She had no idea when she had been sent to the hospital.She was still suffering from a splitting headache that felt as though someone was hammering away at her head.“Ollie…” she started weakly, but all that came out was a rasp, which quickly transformed into a bout of hacking coughs.Liam, who was standing beside the bed, did not seem the least bit concerned about her health when he saw her wake up. Instead, all he cared to ask was, “What’s your relationship with Javier Marquez?”At this point, Claire had nothing but pure hatred left for her father. She could almost smell the stench of greed wafting off him, and her headache intensified.Not in the mood to entertain his interrogation, Claire pushed herself into a sitting position on the bed and called out as loudly as her body could take it, “Ollie, come here.”“Quit shouting! He’s not here.” Liam frowned impatiently. “I got Chantelle to bri

Chapter 13 What A Difficult Woman

A pale Claire stared at the car before her, having almost been hit by it. There was barely the distance of a fist between her knees and the car.If the driver hadn’t braked in time, she would probably have been sent flying from the impact.The driver got out of the car in anger and walked up to her. “Are you insane?!”It wasn’t that she was; it was just that she had rushed out without thinking it through in her urgent state. Still reeling from the shock, Claire gulped, forced a smile, and apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to. I just wanted to…” She trailed off and peered inside the car. She could see a figure in the back seat, but she couldn’t see the person’s face. And so, turning back to the driver, she earnestly said, “I want to speak to Mr. Marquez.”“Mr. Marquez?” the driver frowned, looking conflicted.“That’s right. Could I please trouble you to help me tell him that?” Claire looked imploringly at him.“I…” The driver was put in a tough spot. Knowing hi

Chapter 14 How Could She Have Been so Blind

Since Javier wasn’t willing to help, she would have to rely on herself. She would definitely get Ollie back. She wasn’t going to let her father have his way. Steeling her heart, Claire swiftly left Marquez Group.Returning to the Weiss’ villa, she secretly entered through the backyard, careful to not be spottedby the surveillance cameras.This villa was the first place she could think of to search for Ollie. If her father had really brought Ollie here, she would take Ollie away in secret after finding him and never return.However, she couldn’t find any signs of Ollie after searching high and low.Could it be that he wasn’t here?Claire frowned, but before she could think deeper about it, she heard a delicate voice say, “Damn, I feel so tired.”It was Chantelle!Claire was startled and quickly hid behind a potted plant. Using the leaves to cover herself, she peeked through them and could clearly see Chantelle and Armand slowly walking in her direction.“Why don’t we go back an

Chapter 15 The Infiltration

The doorman was hesitant at first but conceded in the end due to Claire’s persistence.And thus, she successfully entered the hotel.Claire discreetly breathed a sigh of relief.“Are you sure you want to apply for the attendant role?” The hotel manager, Theresa, looked her up and down. Her tone was doubtful. This was because Claire was fairly young and had an excellent disposition, so it was a bit of a waste for her to be an attendant.Claire noticed Theresa’s uncertainty and swiftly put on a sincere attitude, replying in a resolute tone, “Yes, I am.”Worried that Theresa was still doubtful, Claire began sharing her previous work experience when she was abroad. “Not only was I an attendant overseas, but I’ve also worked as a hotel manager. I’ve experienced all sorts of difficulties that come with this line of work, so rest assured, I won't disappoint you.”Back then, when she was sent out of the country, she had taken on all sorts of odd jobs in the first year in order to survive

Chapter 16 Him Again?

How could she get into the room? Claire frowned in distress.It was at that moment that an attendant pushed a food cart past her.A bright idea came to Claire’s mind, and she strode forward. Snatching the cart away, she smiled at the dumbfounded attendant and said, “Here, let me.”“Who are you?” the attendant questioned as she didn’t recognize her at all.“You don’t know who I am?” Claire asked, widening her eyes and pretending to be surprised before sighing helplessly. “That makes sense. This hotel is so large and has so many employees. It’s possible for everyone to not be acquainted with each other.” She then quickly said, “Why don’t you take a break? I’ll handle this.”“But—” Before the attendant could say what was on her mind, Claire cut her off. “Don’t worry, we should help take care of each other seeing as we’re colleagues. I notice that you have very dark circles, probably from a lack of proper rest. So why don’t you take this opportunity to get some?”“Dark circles?” th

Chapter 17 Bring Her Back to Me

Javier’s handsome features twisted into a grimace of pain. He was caught off guard by Claire’s sudden attack. Claire gasped in surprise. With a final heave, she managed to push him away with all her might. “I’m so sorry, Mr. Marquez!” Giving a hurried apology, she made her escape. After a few minutes, Javier managed to compose himself. He sat up on the bed, his eyes burning with anger. That damned woman! He was going to get her and make her pay for what she had done to him!With narrowed eyes, he tried to recall what she was wearing. If he wasn’t mistaken, the woman was dressed as a room attendant. As Javier thought of that, he went to the door and opened it. The two bodyguards standing guard outside nodded when they saw him. “Mr. Marquez.” “Did you see the woman who just left?” Both of them glanced at each other and replied simultaneously, “Yes, sir.” “Great.” Javier narrowed his eyes coldly. “Bring her back to me!” After Claire managed to leave the room, she escap

Chapter 18 Can We Take a Bath Together?

Ollie pouted ruefully at the question. “It’s Bad Aunty! She’s the one who locked me up. She doesn’t want me to meet Mommy, so she’s been keeping me in here. Besides, she also threatened me saying if I’m naughty, the two men will beat me up!” Ollie pointed an accusing finger toward the two men. “There they are. They’re bad people, just like Bad Aunty!” Javier frowned and shot them a cold look. When the two men saw this, they quickly averted their gaze in fear. “But I’m not scared!” Ollie put on a brave smile, wiping away the sadness from his face. “Because I knew Dad would definitely come and save me!” Ollie wrapped his arms around Javier’s neck and snuggled into him affectionately. Javier was unexpectedly moved by Ollie’s childlike words. The ice around his heart melted inexplicably.Taken aback, the bodyguards noticed that Javier did not shy away from Ollie’s touch. Besides that, the frigid atmosphere around their boss seemed a little warmer than usual. It was the first time

Chapter 19 What A Troublesome Woman

A sleep-deprived Claire reported to work at the hotel early the next day wearing a pair of sunglasses. She couldn’t sleep at all last night as she felt as though she was going out of her mind with worry without Ollie by her side.She had to rescue Ollie today no matter what.Theresa looked at Claire with newfound respect upon seeing that she was early for work. “She sure is a hardworking young woman,” she thought.“One of our staff who’s usually stationed at the top floor just resigned a few days ago, so you’ll be taking over from him. The guests on that floor are VIPs, so please be careful not to offend them, alright?”Theresa signaled for Claire to follow her once she finished speaking. The reason for this arrangement was because their VIP guests tended to be eccentric or have volatile tempers, and Claire’s agreeable temperament should work to her advantage when dealing with them.Claire nodded and followed Theresa into the elevator, secretly delightedTheresa left immediately

Chapter 20 Way Out of Her League

Claire’s surroundings appeared dark as she had a cloth over her head; all she knew was that she was being led to a remote location. Her heart grew more and more anxious as time passed, and she desperately kicked the room door with her unbound legs. However, the door stayed closed.After struggling for quite some time, she finally heard the door open and vaguely saw outlines of a few large men entering the room.The cloth on her head was removed and she was immediately blinded by the sudden increase in brightness. Claire glared fiercely at the people before her once her eyes had gotten use to the light again.“Let me go right now, Chantelle! I’ll make you pay if anything happens to Ollie!” she said, all while attempt to break free of her bonds; her face flushing from the effort.“I think you should just wait here obediently for Javier to come rescue you. You both are husband and wife; surely he won’t forsake you if he cares about you, am I right?” Envy flashed across Chantelle’s eye
