Semua Bab My Ugly Husband is the Richest Billionaire: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Another thing that surprised Claire was that Alex wasn't wearing his construction uniform today, instead he was wearing gray cloth pants, complete with a gray shirt and a long tie that hung over his broad chest.Alex's appearance this time emphasized his good looks and authority.But Graham's family didn't care, because they knew that Alex was just the son of a bankrupt billionaire who had nothing."Don't you dare hurt my wife!" Alex snapped, pointing his finger at Graham.Then Alex walked over to Claire and pulled her around his waist to face him."Claire, are you okay?" Alex asked, but his eyes darkened when he saw the slap marks on both of his wife's cheeks."Shit!" Alex was too late."I'm fine. Alex, how did you know I was here?" Claire asked, her forehead furrowed in curiosity."That's not important. I'm sorry I'm late," Alex replied, his hand gently rubbing Claire's cheek.Graham clucked. "No one invited you into my house! How dare you come in here and meddle in our affairs. You'

"Noah, Claire scratched my arm! She threw water in my face too. She just got mad because I said hi," Alice said, showing the red scratches on her arm. Claire's eyes widened at Alice's accusation. Neither did Jenny, who hadn't expected Alice to use such a manipulative act to back Claire into a corner."Claire! You're so wicked. How could you hurt your stepsister? She just wanted to say hello to you, but you hurt her instead," Noah growled, sending a sharp look at Claire, but his hands were still holding Alice's back from falling.Annoyed that Noah had fallen for Alice's lie, Jenny shook the table hard and then got up from her chair. "Are you so blind that you can't see who's wrong and who's right? Have you seen Claire? She's wet too because your actress girlfriend threw water in her face first!" Jenny pointed at Claire, who was indeed partially wet.Noah looked over as well, but Alice immediately whimpered and held her arm. "My arm hurts like hell. We better get out of here, Noah. I do

That's right, Mr. James. Claire was the one who started it all. She was just a poor girl who snuck into the Emerald Hotel with a forged VVIP card. By the way, Mr. James, my name is Tyas, I'm with the Royal Company. It's a pleasure to meet you in person." This time it was Tyas who spoke, her right hand extended to James, inviting a handshake.Claire stayed where she was, watching with disgust as these people insulted her and tried to make up false stories about her.James, on the other hand, clucked at Rachel's hand in disgust. He didn't even want to return the handshake.He said aloud. "I hesitate to associate with hypocrites like you. From now on, I hope you won't show your faces in my presence!" shouted James, shocking everyone there.Surprised by James' defensive attitude towards Claire, Alice frowned and dared to ask. "I'm sorry, Mr. James. But my stepsister is to blame. She started the whole mess. What the friends said is true. Claire got into this hotel with a forged VVIP card.

"The fish is burnt," Alex commented as Claire served the charred fried fish on the dining room table.After they finished their fun in the kitchen, they cleaned up in the bathroom for half an hour, then when they returned to the kitchen, Claire gasped when she realized the fried fish was burnt.A charred smell filled the entire kitchen."You see, right, Alex? I told you not to tease me while I'm cooking." Claire's lips pursed.She looked adorable when she pouted, which made Alex happy to see her."I was. Don't pout! Seeing your lips pursed like that, I can't wait to kiss you again."Immediately, Claire stopped pursing her lips. "Don't even try. Right now my stomach is hungrier than what's under your stomach. If you don't find a solution, we'll eat this burnt fried fish for dinner."Alex almost burst out laughing at his wife's ramblings.Unexpectedly, it turns out that behind her gentle and caring nature, Claire can also sulk. Her puckered lips were actually endearing to Alex. "Okay,

Nancy? This name Alex would remember in his mind as the one who tried to cause trouble for his wife. Alex's blood immediately boiled over. His grip on Tom's shirt collar tightened even more, leaving Tom almost out of breath, but finally Alex released his grip with a rough motion.He took Claire's unconscious body into his arms.As he held Claire, Alex growled angrily and said. "I'm not going to kill you, but there is one condition..."***At the Graham home.Nancy laughed at the many bills she had spread out on the living room table.Alice was smiling too. There was an irresistible gleam of joy in her eyes."Mom, so you sold Claire to a mob boss?" asked Alice, looking both happy and surprised.Clutching the money to her chest, Nancy nodded. "That's right, dear.""But why did you do it?""Our company is unstable after many investors withdrew their cooperation with us. We need money to save the company. Isn't this the most appropriate way?"Alice nodded her head, then smiled. It was tr
