CLAIRE

Before Matthew could say anything, I spoke first. “Charlie’s right. Go home, Matt. I’m fine now.”

Matthew looked back and forth between Charles and me. Then he smiled at me. “About what I offered you earlier, I hope you’ll give it some thought, Claire.”

Those were the last words Matthew spoke before finally stepping out of the room.

What he said clearly raised big questions in Charles and Eva’s minds. Now the two of them looked at each other after Matthew closed the door.

And this is wh

  • The Divorce That Made Me Untouchable   Chapter 45 The Same People at the Right Time

    CLAIRE"Damn. I hate looking weak in front of others. Especially in front of a woman who's weaker than me."Eva's words kept ringing in my head until now. Until I met Matthew again.Honestly, I was shocked by her confession. I thought she pursued Charles because of wealth, but love? Isn't that too naive? For someone like Eva who lacks nothing, a complete family with very stable finances, it should be enough to make her realize to choose better than Charles.Yes, although I've also done the same thing, foolishly falling in love, but if I'm in her position who doesn't lack anything, I open my eyes wide. It's better to choose another man than Charles. Honestly. But beyond that, I've already said my second request and Eva agreed to it. So whatever happens beyond that, I'll try to ignore it. Even if Eva brings her personal problems into our partnership. If Eva brings up her personal problems, I'll just take them as entertainment. They don't matter to me anymore if it's not my client an

  • The Divorce That Made Me Untouchable   Chapter 44 You Two Deserve Each Other

    CLAIRE“How did you know?” Eva’s voice trembled. I bit back my smile. I knew even more than that. I did some digging into Eva’s background after I returned home from my miscarriage treatment. The reason was that I didn’t believe she was just Charles’s best friend.Especially since, during the time Charles and I were together, I never knew Eva existed. So I was really curious to find out everything about her. That’s when I discovered the fact that Eva was the daughter of a murderer. Fifteen years ago, Eva’s father, a wealthy man, founded a new real estate company. The company was a huge success. But sadly, that wealth wasn’t gained in a legitimate way. He acquired it through fraud and by murdering his business partner, who had co-founded the company with him. Consequently, all the assets were seized by him and Margot’s family. There wasn’t much news about it. In fact, there was almost none. And I stumbled upon it by accident. At the time, I was digging deep online until I finally

  • The Divorce That Made Me Untouchable   Chapter 43 How to Deal with a Rude Person

    CLAIRE“Hey, Claire! I’m here to buy you.”Shhh, here she is again. Who else but Eva? Even without looking, I already knew whose voice was behind me. “Oh, sorry—I mean, I’m here to buy your design.” She placed the check right in front of my face. “See, Charles gives me anything I want. I don’t know why it’s different with you.”The boutique was packed right now. And Eva seemed intentional to come during a rush hour. Because she did the same thing yesterday.That’s why I didn’t snap at her. I chose to take a deep breath first, then face Eva. I turned slowly with a smile I’d carefully crafted. I leaned in close so only she could hear me. “Maybe because you’re for sale. Just like I said yesterday.”“I’m sorry, but if that’s true, I don’t care anymore. What matters to me is… that I can buy you for my business.” She looked me up and down. “It’s so much fun having you under my thumb.”I pointed my hand at the 3 o’clock position. “Please give this to the staff over there for payment. After

  • The Divorce That Made Me Untouchable   Chapter 42 This Love

    CLAIRE“Oh my God! Are you serious? I heard you right, didn’t I?”Matthew’s smile widened. This time he even shook his head. “I’m not lying, Claire. Everything’s settled. And you’ll have your rights back. You can be happy with whoever you want after this.”I had no idea how to process this good news, so all I could do was jump up and throw my arms around Matthew’s neck. Meanwhile, Matthew wrapped both his arms around my waist, making sure I wouldn’t fall. “Your suffering with Charles will soon be over, Claire,” he whispered softly in my ear. That moved me deeply. Honestly, I’m so happy because I finally no longer have to lower my self-respect for a man who can’t appreciate me. And what still surprises me to this very moment is that all of this happened because of Matthew’s help! The man I ignored for the sake of my soon-to-be ex-husband. That’s why, as a way of showing my appreciation, despite the agreement that I would marry him, I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. “Thank you

  • The Divorce That Made Me Untouchable   Chapter 41 Tell Your Lover

    CLAIRENo doubt what Eva did caught everyone’s attention. In an instant, everyone—from customers to employees—looked over at us. Perfect. Now we’re the center of attention without me having to lift a finger. Why do I think this is a good thing? Because I can embarrass Eva without having to start it myself. I can teach her that if you dare to act, you must dare to take responsibility.I looked at the checks scattered on the floor. I kicked aside the one covering my foot with my other shoe.“I could even buy everything in this boutique, including you!” Eva pointed a finger at my face.I just smiled sweetly as I stepped on the check near me. “I thought you’d throw money at me. No cash, huh? Well, guess the rumors about Charles going bankrupt are true.”“What? I’ve never heard those rumors. Don’t talk nonsense! Just tell me your price!” Eva’s voice grew louder as her anger flared up. She picked up all the checks and clenched them into a fist. She then stood up again and tapped them aga

  • The Divorce That Made Me Untouchable   Chapter 40 The Woman Who Dares to Disturb

    CLAIREHonestly, I couldn't stop smiling ever since I got out of Matthew's car. Whether it was because I was desperately craving affection or simply because he was so sweet, those words kept echoing in my head. It was like a broken record that kept playing—unable to be stopped, yet too precious to throw away. I felt seen and valued for who I truly am. I didn’t have to be someone else to earn love. And nothing felt more relieving than that.I think Matthew is the cure I’ve been searching for—and he’s meant for me. The only question is how I’ll keep him from turning into poison down the road.Oh, the feeling…“The styles in this album do not suit me. I want a custom design made for my maternity photos.”My steps halted on the last stair when I heard that voice. My eyes fell on the woman currently standing at the door of the VVIP room. Her voice boomed, unlike when she was at home.She is the woman who is so precious to Charles right now, Eva.Oh God, what else does that woman want to

    CLAIREHe was Matthew Alaric Kingsley, the man I had rejected in high school because I loved Charles more back then.And now, he reappeared. Unbidden and suddenly in front of me, helping me."What's going on with you, Claire?"That deep voice entered my ears like a high-speed train that unceremonio

  • The Divorce That Made Me Untouchable   Chapter 3 Bitter

    CLAIREI tried to act normal but my feelings couldn't lie. I loved Charles and that's why it hurt so much to see him prioritize his best friend over his own wife. I still remember what Charles said, that his best friend in his life was very important. But I never thought that the best friend he

    CLAIRE“I hear that a lot.” I pulled the half-eaten piece of candy still hanging from his mouth and ate it. “Maybe so. But have you ever heard it from me?” I glanced at him. “Just because this is the first time I’ve heard it from you doesn’t mean you really feel that way.”“Hmm, okay, it’s fine i

    CLAIREAs I opened my eyes, I saw Matthew holding Charles' hand in the air. His eagle-sharp eyes stared at Charles like his prey. "I can just as easily destroy Ashford Group as destroy your last name."Charles laughed. He then looked at me. That soft looking face, anyone if they saw it, would defin
