“You’re the one who did this in the first place. Who gave you permission to cause trouble in my house?”While Javier spoke, his gaze fixed on the necklace adorning Hattie’s neck. Then, he narrowed his eyes dangerously.“Do you really think I’m this easy to fool, hmm? Are you that confident that I’ll tolerate you every time?”Javier slowly approached Hattie, flames of burning rage and icy aloofness burning in his eyes. As a result, Hattie couldn’t help but shiver in fright.She had never seen Javier look so furious in her entire life. Hattie couldn’t care less about everything then. She decided to deploy the same trick that she had used last time on Javier—the art of looking aggrieved while whining coquettishly. “Javier, why are you lecturing me again because of that woman? This is the second time you’ve treated me like this!”“That’s enough!” Javier berated angrily, no longer wishing to waste his breath on Hattie. Instead, he extended his hand at her. “Are you going to give me t

Raina cheered when she saw the food on the table. "What's the occasion, Claire? Why are you treating us to so much food?" she asked as she sat down.Claire laughed. "Come on over. We're all waiting for you."Thomas was a little taken aback when he saw Claire's pallid face. "You don't look very good," he said with concern. "Are you okay, Claire?"Claire put a hand to her face and tried to ignore the uneasiness she was feeling. "I'm fine, Thomas. I think I just haven't been sleeping well. Also, I'm pregnant, so I may have to take some time off work. I'll do the handover over the next few days."She spoke calmly, showing none of her bitterness. She would miss the job.Thomas almost spat out his water when he heard that. "You're pregnant?" he asked, shocked.How did he not know that Claire was pregnant?The shock on Thomas' face was indescribable. He stared at Claire, waiting for her to say that she was just joking.Claire laughed at him and gave him a good-natured glare. "You're a supers

Javier had no intention to let her go, even as she kicked him with her unhurt leg."Why do you keep doing this? The child I'm carrying is not yours, and it's not Charles' either. The father is someone else. Please let me go!" Out of anger, Claire blurted this out cruelly.Javier paused. He stared at Claire in disbelief. "What did you say? Say that again."His expression was terrifying. Even though Claire was scared, she still repeated, "I said, the child I am carrying is not yours. It's someone else's. I can't marry you, so please let me go."This was the only way she would be able to leave him.As she expected, Javier's eyes were burning with hatred. He tightened his grip on her chin. "Do you know the consequences of lying to me?" he asked through gritted teeth.Claire couldn't bring herself to look into his eyes when he was in such a state. Trembling, she said, "I know the consequences. I just hope you'll let me go for Ollie's sake. I won't ever appear in front of you ever again."As

Javier dismissed the thought immediately.Claire clearly couldn't wait to distance herself from him. Why would she wait for him?With that thought, his expression darkened.Claire turned when she heard Javier coming back in.Her eyes were a little bleary. "Oh, you're finally finished with your work, Javier," she said awkwardly, then stopped. She didn't know what to say next.Before this, she had scripted out what she wanted to say to Javier.No matter what, she needed to convince Javier to let her go.However, she seemed to have forgotten what to say when she saw Javier.Javier gave her a deep look and walked away. "Follow me," he said, without further explanation.Claire didn't know what he was up to, but she did as she was told.Outside, she saw Javier's car, the one that he used to drive her to her office.She went closer, heart racing.Javier was one of the rare people who could afford to drive a three-million-dollar car.Just as she was perplexed, Javier rolled down the window and

Hattie was startled, but she did not show it. Clenching her fists, she forced herself to calm down. "I understand, Javier."She had never felt so lowly before. Even though she resented it, she did not dare show it.Javier scoffed. He did not spare her another glance, clearly showing his disappointment.Hattie just stood there awkwardly, not knowing if she should stay or leave. After a while, she found an excuse and left hurriedly.Resentment boiled within her.If Javier wasn't present, she might have gone mad with hatred.She hadn't expected Javier to call her to his office just to talk about Claire.He had even warned her to stay away from her. As if that wasn't enough, he didn't even look her straight in the eyes when he warned her. That hurt her feelings.The more Hattie thought about it, the angrier she got. What had Claire done to deserve his special treatment?When Hattie left Javier's office, she loosened her tightly clenched fists. Her palms were filled with bruises. She felt
