Chapter 9

Author: Beloved Farewell
"I know everything that happened before was my fault. I'm sorry. I'll apologize to you, and I'll make Justin apologize too. Please don't leave me, okay?"

As soon as Claire finished speaking, she called Justin over from where he had been standing by the door and coldly ordered him to kneel.

Justin looked at Claire pleadingly, but all he received in return was her icy stare.

In the end, he had no choice but to bend his knees and kneel in front of me.

I watched the scene with cold indifference

    "I know everything that happened before was my fault. I'm sorry. I'll apologize to you, and I'll make Justin apologize too. Please don't leave me, okay?"As soon as Claire finished speaking, she called Justin over from where he had been standing by the door and coldly ordered him to kneel.Justin looked at Claire pleadingly, but all he received in return was her icy stare.In the end, he had no choice but to bend his knees and kneel in front of me.I watched the scene with cold indifference and found it painfully ironic.Once upon a time, Claire had forced me to apologize to Justin in the same way. She hadn't made me kneel, but she had crushed my pride all the same, leaving me in agony.Now that the situation had reversed, I felt no urge to laugh.Perhaps in Claire's eyes, none of us ever had any dignity—we were nothing more than toys she could manipulate at will.It wasn't that she didn't love me. But that love was born of guilt and of her fear of losing me.And someday, ther

  • The Heiress's Gold-Digger   Chapter 8

    "Shut up! Justin, you still have the nerve to ask me to help you? Look at what you've done!"You knew perfectly well that the money in that card was money Simon saved up to marry me, yet you deliberately tricked it out of my hands and even squandered it without my permission!"Who gave you the guts? Who allowed you to do that?"Justin had never seen Claire look so cold and ruthless. He was so frightened that he barely dared to speak, stammering,"Clairebear, it's not like that. Listen to my explanation…"He thought he could, as before, come up with some excuse and make Claire soften.But this time, no matter how he begged, it was useless.Claire looked at him icily."I won't help you repay that money. I've already hurt Simon too many times. This time, I absolutely cannot wrong him again. And you've framed Simon again and again in the past, deliberately driving a wedge between us. I won't just let that go."From today on, I don't care what method you use—go and apologize to Sim

    I laughed in anger. No wonder Justin had acted so generous when he returned the card to me.He thought I was still the same Simon who loved Claire so deeply—someone who, even knowing about the dirty tricks he pulled behind my back, would let it go for her sake.But this time, I didn't just want him to pay the price. I wanted Claire—the woman who had betrayed me—to pay it too.So I immediately contacted a junior from my university days, someone I had always been on good terms with.She was now a well-known lawyer in the capital, with a law firm of her own.I told her everything—my history with Claire and Justin, every grievance and betrayal. After listening in silence for a long time, she finally said in a firm, confident voice, "Don't worry, Simon. I'll help you get back everything that belongs to you."She then acted as my attorney and formally sued Claire and Justin.The legal process went even more smoothly than I had expected.The court ruled that Claire must return all the

    But such a small request had made Claire's face turn cold at once."Simon, did you do this on purpose? You know perfectly well I don't want to remember those painful things from the past, yet you still ask me to cook for you! What are you really trying to do?"Only then did I realize that what I saw as a warm gesture—a simple birthday cake—was, in her eyes, a form of humiliation.From that day on, I never dared mention cooking again.Later, when Justin was hospitalized with a back injury, Claire canceled all her work just to take care of him.She even willingly stepped into the kitchen she hated most, spending more than three hours every day preparing nutritious meals for him.I was both heartbroken and jealous. I had a huge fight with Claire over it.In the end, all I got was her cold stare and one sentence: I hate petty men the most.What was even more ridiculous was that back then, because I loved her so deeply, even knowing she cared more about another man than about me, I

    At those words, Claire seemed to be struck by something, freezing in place."What did you say? Simon's mother passed away? No… that can't be true. She was so healthy. How could she—"Before she could finish, it was as if something suddenly occurred to her. She turned to look at me, her voice rough and strained."Simon, when you told me earlier that your mother had been in a car accident… you weren't lying to me? I'm sorry, I… I thought…"Seeing the regret and panic on her face, I gave a cold laugh."You thought? Thought what? That I made up something like this just to scam you out of thirty dollars? Claire, how low do you think I am? So low that I would curse my own mother's life for thirty dollars?"By the end, I could no longer control my emotions. My words burst out like a roar.Claire stared at me in a daze. She stepped forward cautiously, about to say something, when Justin suddenly stopped her."Clairebear, don't fall for it. This is just Simon's trick to play the victim!

    "Want to get back together? Don't even think about it! Even if you knelt down and begged me, I would never take you back!" Claire spat.Sometimes, I truly marveled at Claire—at her boundless confidence and her shamelessness.Not bothering to argue with her any further, I slapped my resignation letter down in front of her."Please sign it, Ms. Musk. Trash like me shouldn't stay in your esteemed company and offend your eyes."…Claire's face changed instantly, her voice turning sharp."You're resigning? Who gave you permission to resign? Simon, I'm warning you—if you keep putting on airs like this, there really will be no chance left between us!"Justin glanced at me with barely concealed glee and spoke in a hypocritical tone."Clairebear, can't you tell? Simon is just throwing a tantrum. Someone who would lie about his own mother dying just for thirty dollars—how could he possibly bear to leave a company with benefits this good? I think he's just playing mind games, forcing you
