"If you don't see yourself as a joke, then no one can tell you otherwise. How can you even think of going to see Sherman when you're acting all crazy like this? Do you think he'll meet you? And even if he does, what will you say? You need to have a game plan before running off to find him!"Why do you think you managed to keep him by your side all these years? Isn't it because you're considerate and gentle? Moreover, you two have a shared history. If you lose even those now, let me tell you, you'll truly have no chance to get back together with him."Claire stopped in her tracks, her hand trembling as she held the keys. Tears finally streamed down her face. "Serena, have all my efforts been futile? I came back from abroad, where I already established myself, for him. But now, he turns and marries another girl. I don't even know who she is. Why am I so useless... Did he ever really care about me, or was everything just my imagination?"Serena quickly pulled her to the sofa. "How coul

Of course, Sherman provided quite a bit of financial support which kept Vince quiet for a while. Sherman was happy for the peace.Any intelligent person would not choose to disturb Sherman again. After all, he would not let the Russell family off easily if Vince dared to bother him again.'Buying out the companies under the Russell family would not be difficult, and he could just have them change their names to be under Parr Group. Let's see how arrogant they'd be then,' thought Sherman."Mister Sherman, Miss Claire is in the lobby downstairs. She said she wants to see you," said Lucy.Sherman's hand paused in flipping a page. There had been too much going on lately, and he had almost forgotten about Claire. It had been a long time since he had seen her, especially after what happened with her tipping off the paparazzi."Okay, have her come up," he instructed.It had been a while since the last incident. It was time to meet her and resolve any lingering issues.Claire was surpri

Of course, there was not much room for Lucy's salary to increase any further. She already earned more than many department managers, albeit in smaller companies outside. However, if Lucy could stay working for Sherman, there was a possibility of her being transferred to another department as a manager or something similar.Her skills far surpassed those of some department heads who were just muddling through. Sherman had long wanted to shake up the staff, but he was used to having Lucy by his side. He would have a difficult time finding someone to replace her in the short term if he were to lose her.…Claire drove like a madwoman and ran several red lights on the way, clearly intent on confronting Rita.Meanwhile, Rita was sorting through her files and thinking about scheduling another interview with Esmond. However, sneaking in again after the fallout from the last incident would be difficult.Esmond had been working in the dark for many years and was very cautious. Getting info

Rita would have never let her father blackmail Sherman if she had known he had a girlfriend. No matter how much she liked him, she would fight against it with everything she got. After all, she could not hurt the person she liked just because she wanted to be with him, could she?"You're talking nonsense. When were you two ever together? You're just jealous because you saw us get married."Claire, no longer in a rush, scoffed. "Huh! You can stop pretending now. It was so obvious Sherman and I were together until you ruthlessly stole him from me! Look into your heart—can you swear to me that you've really done nothing wrong?"She then turned and put on a sad expression. "I'm sure you know Sherman is a very filial son. His family has pressured him several times to get married, so he must've hastily married you out of respect for his elders."But you should also know he promised to take me abroad for our wedding after the New Year. He'd never have married someone like you if it wasn't

"I've told you that it's over between us. No, we never even began. You never chose me from the start, Claire. Please, stop making things difficult for my wife." Sherman gently took Rita's hand.Claire felt as if her heart was stabbed by a thousand needles when she saw their tightly clasped hands."Wow… Just wow. Every choice I've made over these years has been wrong. Leaving you was a mistake, Sherman. Now that I choose to come back, I realize I'm still going to lose you. Sherman, why pretend to be righteous here? Why don't you just admit that you've never ever thought of giving me a chance from the start?"Rita, you rat. No need to show off in front of me. You just want to see me suffer, don't you? Well, I won't give you the satisfaction! I'll make all of you regret it!"As Claire spoke, she charged straight toward the pillar in the lobby.Sherman's reaction was swift, rushing toward her in that instant, but he could not stop Claire. At that moment, she had resolved to gamble on
