Chapter 10

She had no idea how many cups she had made. Claire felt so dizzy that she could not hold on any longer. When she entered the conference room with another cup of coffee, Mason had already disappeared.

He had not even said if she had passed or not, and just disappeared?

Claire placed the coffee on the table before she turned and left the room.

She just managed to catch Mason’s private car leaving the premises when she arrived at the ground floor of the main building.

She had been abandoned, again.

Claire laughed bitterly at herself. She should have expected it.

She had walked to the curb to hail a taxi when a silver car stopped in front of her.

“Sister-in-law, let me give you a ride.”

The car window lowered to reveal Liam’s gentle, handsome face.

Claire was stunned for a while before she shook her head and said, “It’s alright.”

If Mason saw her, he would say that she was being seductive again.

“Get in. You’ve been running around for several hours, you’re exhausted.” As he finished speaking, Liam unbuckled his seat belt and got down from the car to open the door for her. His actions were so gentlemanly that she could not refuse.

In the end, Claire got into his car.

“Thank you.”

“You’re too kind.” Liam smiled gently at her before reminding her, “Seatbelt.”

As they rode back in Liam’s car to the Yeich mansion, Liam was silent. He did not ask her any excessive questions and dropped her off at the door.

Claire was still exclaiming at Liam’s gentleness when she walked slowly up the stairs to her room.

How could two brothers differ from each other so much in terms of personality?

When she entered the room, Claire faltered in her footsteps.

Because her suitcase had been thrown onto the floor.

She froze for a few seconds before raising her eyes to look at the person in the room.

“Who asked you to fill my house with your things?”

Claire remained silent for a short while before walking up and picking her suitcase up. “I… I thought you weren’t coming back?”

On the night of the wedding, he had his men bring him away. Claire had thought he would not return.

“Hah, this is my room.”

Silent, Claire bit her lower lip. “But I’m your wife.”

“A wife who bears the name of your sister?”

Claire did not have anything to say in return.

It seemed that he would not let her stay in this room. It was clear from his words and actions that he was disgusted with her, but she could not leave.

As she thought of this, Claire looked at him with pleading eyes. “Can you please, just give me a corner of this room? I don’t need much.”

“No!”

Claire’s face paled. “Grandpa will notice if I leave.”

As Mason gave the order, Simon immediately came forth. “Miss Schmidt, please, don’t make me get rough with you.”

Claire bit her lower lip. “Is there no room for negotiation?”

Mason’s eyes were like a wolf’s. Deep, brooding, with flashes of fierceness in them.

After a moment of staring at each other, Claire silently turned around and dragged her suitcase out.

She closed the bedroom door.

“Young Master Yeich, it seems that she has backed down from the adversities.”

Mason’s lips curled in disdain. He had thought she had great perseverance, who knew that she had gotten defeated by this.

Hah, she could not even withstand a single blow.

“Has anyone been sent to the hospital?” Mason asked unexpectedly.

The expression on Simon’s face faltered. “Not… not yet.”

“So why are you still standing here?”

“I’ll get on it right away!”

Simon soon left. When he went out, he saw Claire standing by the door with her suitcase. He used his eyes to tell her that she would be better off depending on herself than others before leaving.

The next day.

When Simon came looking for Mason, his eyes widened when he took a look at the door.
