All Chapters of The Return: Dad Quest Initiated: Chapter 201 - Chapter 210

Claire was visibly stunned for a moment. She continued clutching her phone, not knowing how to respond to Javier.“Judging from the way he spoke, could he be jealous again?” she wondered.Hence, Claire coughed lightly before she quickly explained, “Um… I’d like to reiterate that I’m his boss, and he’s my subordinate. Do you not believe me at all, Mr. Marquez?”Javier was silent for two seconds after that. Just as Claire swallowed nervously and was about to continue explaining, the phone call was suddenly disconnected.“Uh…”As she stared at the phone screen that showed the disconnected call, Claire was stunned for two full seconds before putting away her phone and rolling her eyes at Javier’s behavior.After getting to know him over the past few days, she already knew that not only was Javier arrogant, cold, and distant, but he was also a jerk who tended to become jealous and had constant mood swings.She asked the driver to stop the car at the entrance of Ollie’s school. There,

Claire let out a deep sigh before shooting a polite smile in Carlyle’s direction. Then, she gestured for him to sit down. “You’re being too serious. There’s no need to be like this, you know. Me helping you out is just a small matter.”Even though she phrased her words like that, she knew very well just how difficult it was for her to procure the evidence.Of course, Claire wouldn’t let Carlyle know the actual truth. She didn’t want him to repay her at all.Carlyle sat down obediently, but he said to her, “No matter what, I know that you’ve put so much effort into the investigation, Claire. You’re my friend from now on. Just let me know if you need my help in the future.”Claire nodded in response without saying anything. She never intended to ask for Carlyle’s help anyway.At that time, all of the dishes were served. Everyone started digging in. Soon, they gradually got to know each other more.The atmosphere was friendly and harmonious. Claire couldn’t help but think that the t

Fred felt that Carlyle was extraordinarily silent today. It was as if he was plagued by unknown troubles. After a moment’s hesitation, he decided to not say anything about it.Fred thought that Carlyle was unable to stop thinking about the incident that plagued him a few days ago. After all, the celebrity did get wronged by the masses. If Fred had been the victim of that incident, he would have ended his life right away.Carlyle stared out the car window, seemingly deep in thought. Even Fred started to become curious and confused as to what happened to Carlyle, seeing as it was rare for the latter to reveal such a serious expression.A moment later, Carlyle looked like he had made an important decision as he pulled out his phone.Then, he dialed the phone number that he had saved a long time ago. However, he had never taken the initiative to contact that person until now.Soon, the call went through. That person uttered in surprise, “What is it, Mr. Jefferson?”Carlyle grunted so

“Property Title Transfer”Claire widened her eyes as she stared at the words at the top of the document. She couldn’t quite comprehend them.Her surprise only increased after reading the rest of the document.She wasn’t well-versed in property, but nothing looked amiss from the document, which was the title for the piece of land in the east of the city.Her first instinct told her that this was a fake document, especially since there was no name on the title. Even though the rest of it looked professional, she was still suspicious.In the end, she decided to dial the number of the lawyer, which was printed on the back of the document.The call was picked up quickly. They didn’t seem surprised by Claire’s question after she explained her purpose.Claire paused for a moment before asking cautiously, “I want to know if this title is real.”She felt awkward asking this. After all, the lawyer’s phone number was printed right there on the document. They wouldn’t admit to it if it was a scam.

Claire almost admitted that she didn’t want to have lunch with him. Thankfully, she stopped herself before the words came out.This was his territory. If she defied him, he could easily get rid of her. As it were, his glare was enough to burn holes in her.However, she couldn’t stop thinking of that night. Even now, her ears suddenly turned red at the thought of that.How could he act like nothing had happened after doing that to her?She regretted it so much, but Javier seemed like he didn’t care at all.At that thought, Claire made up her mind and said, “Uh, I have something I need to deal with at my office. I think I’ll skip lunch today.”Javier raised an eyebrow and snorted disbelievingly. “Are you really that busy?”It wasn’t like he didn’t know the state of Stardust Entertainment. He knew that this was just Claire’s excuse to avoid having lunch with him. He forced a cold smile. “Are you scared of me, Claire Weiss?”Claire shook her head in denial. “Of course not. Why would I be s
