Chapter 768 Deadly Consequence

Charles looked at his watch before saying to Claire. "Well, you came at the wrong time. I’m at home during this time.""You’re at home? Aren't these your working hours?" Claire was shocked. Charles laughed, "What? It’s my company. Do I need to follow traditional working hours? I can come and go whenever I want as long as I’m happy.""Got it." Claire knew that Charles wasn’t in the company and didn’t want to say much, so she ended the call after that. On the other side, Charles looked at his phone in a trance, thinking that Claire was really different. He deliberately told Claire he was at home to see if she would really come to find him. If Javier found out, wouldn’t it be interesting? At the thought of that, Charles was excited.Claire didn’t know how bored Charles felt after she left. Now, he'd found an interesting companion again.

Chapter 769 What Did He Expect

Charles looked away and didn't answer her directly. Instead, he asked, "I can help you, but shouldn't you give me something in return? After all, I don't feel happy about helping Javier in vain. You should know he's been making my life horrible these days."As Charles was speaking, he showed a pitiful expression. Looking at him, Claire could feel that he wouldn't help her. Still, she forced herself to be calm and said, "So, in order to ensure you guys will get along well, I need your help. Those workers are really pitiful, and they've been exploited by the developers."When Claire was done, she looked at Charles expectantly while Charles felt disappointed by her answer. He didn't know what he was expecting from her. "We will never get along when you're between us." Charles seemed to be irritated when he said that. He was an easygoing person, but now he clenched his fists and looked at Claire, who was surprised."So, Claire, do you understand now?""I don't," Claire said and looke

Chapter 770 Must Be Crazy

At this moment, Charles' room was filled with smoke. He felt that after meeting Claire, he smoked more frequently. Even though he used to smoke in the past, he was never this addicted to it. He laughed at the thought of that and felt he really was going crazy. He was still in disbelief that he'd actually said such a thing. It was out of his character. However, he had to admit that he finally couldn't control it when he saw how Claire was asking for his help to help Javier. In the end, he told her how he felt. As for when he started to have feelings for her, he wasn't sure. It seemed his love for her would last for an eternity. Charles laughed at himself for thinking about such a cheesy line.At some point, he had turned into the person he used to scoff at. It was so strange that Charles was surprised at himself. Then, he laughed and continued smoking. He tried to force himself to forget Claire. But he suddenly remembered why she had come to him.He was reluctant but took out his

Chapter 771 It's Really You

As soon as the plane landed, Javier went home immediately.It was already late at night and the city was quiet. Most of the staff at Diroux Residences were asleep, except Patty, who heard the sound of the door opening and went downstairs to check. When she saw Javier, she was surprised."Mr. Marquez! We weren't expecting you to be home so early," she said as she took his suitcase from him. "I would've arranged something for you if I had known."Javier's expression was impassive as ever. "There's no need for a welcoming ceremony. We can talk tomorrow morning." All he wanted to do right now was deal with Claire.Javier did not look like he was in a good mood. However, before Patty could question him, he disappeared upstairs. Patty watched as he ascended with a worried look on her face. Shaking her head, she sighed.

Chapter 772 Don't Be Rash

All Javier could think of right now was how Claire had been with another man. Jealousy and rage simmered through him, eliminating any possibility of rational thought. This was only exacerbated by Claire's refusal to explain herself. Before she could say anything, he picked her up.Claire had a bad feeling about this. Seeing his scary expression, she tried to push him away. "Javier, stop this! I'm still pregnant!" She didn't dare struggle too hard as she was afraid of hurting the child she was carrying.She sounded close to tears, so her voice wasn't as assertive as she wanted it to be. Javier said offhandedly, "Don't worry. It's my child too, I won't hurt them." Despite his rage, he was still careful to handle Claire gently.He ripped her shirt apart and grabbed her breasts roughly. Thanks to the soft bed beneath her, Claire did not get hurt, but she still felt dizzy by the stimulation. "Javier, stop that! Calm down!"With her hands now free, she tried to push herself up and leave. How

Chapter 773 Why Are You Scared of Me?

Claire's naked body was alluring under the soft light of the room. She shivered and opened her eyes to glare at Javier.Right now, she was tired and disappointed in Javier, so she did not want to talk to him. Even so, her nakedness forced her to look for cover.She knew what Javier wanted. After what happened earlier, she had no desire to indulge him.After taking his fill of her naked body, Javier leaned down and picked her up. He brought her into the bathroom and placed her in the bathtub, which was already filled with water. Claire hadn't expected this turn of events; when she came in contact with the water, she was dazed and couldn't formulate a reaction immediately.Javier splashed the warm water over her gently. After a while, Claire felt a little more invigorated. She was still angry, but not as emotional. Unfortunately, her cleared mind began to notice more of what her body was feeling, which made her uneasy.So, when Javier's hand grazed over her back and her neck, she grabbed

Chapter 774 Never Again

Claire had to admit that this was the first time she had heard Javier speak so romantically. She was so touched that she stopped being angry."Don't be so weak-willed," she chided herself in exasperation. Sadly, she was still the same person she was in the past, after all.Javier was relieved when he saw Claire's expression soften. "I was wrong for what I did to you, Claire. Please don't be angry. I promise this will never happen again," he said. He couldn't even forgive himself for what he had done, so he would definitely never do it again.Hearing this, Claire laughed. "If it really happens again, I don't think I want to be with you."Javier's heart sank. His expression became stony as he pulled Claire into a tight hug. "Don't you dare leave me."His tone was severe, but even though it was a threat, Claire did not feel uncomfortable about it. On the contrary, she liked it when Javier got like this. It made her feel wanted and loved. "I know you aren't happy that I went out with Charl

Chapter 775 Don't Worry; I'm Here

Claire did not sleep well that night, even though Javier was right beside her. She felt safe with Javier, but nightmares still plagued her, plunging her into a pit of chaos that made her feel lost. All she knew was that she was terrified.In her nightmares, she just kept running, running, and running, unable to make any sound. The same dream kept repeating itself, making her feel confused and scared. Just as she was panicking, cold sweat drenching her forehead, a voice sounded. "Don't be scared. I'm here."She didn't know whose voice it was, but it made her feel safe.After another dream about falling off a cliff, Claire jolted awake with a scream, breathing heavily. "Nightmares again?" Javier asked in concern.Claire's mind was blank as she nodded stiffly. She now knew where the voice in her dreams had come from. For a second, she felt stifled, as if her heart had been replaced with a piece of heavy marble, constricting her chest and leaving her short of breath.All of the grievances

Chapter 776 They'll Surely Fail

Javier began working as soon as he reached his office. Claire also did not sit about idly. She went back to her office and met Brian at the door."Good morning, Mr. Lucas," she greeted, doing her best to sound perky."Morning," Brian answered. "You look like you didn't sleep well last night."As a manager, he was normally good at keeping their personal and professional lives separate, so Claire was surprised by his concern. She raised her head and replied, "I'm fine, thank you. Probably just a little tired. No need to worry about me."Brian gave her a deep look that conveyed his disbelief, but he didn't say anything much before going back to his office. Javier had given him a lot of tasks to do after he came back.As usual, Claire busied herself with the issue of the workers. The prognosis wasn't good, but she did receive a surprising piece of news—the developer's lawyers had just rejected the case.At first, she was surprised to hear that, but after some thought, she understood why.
