Claire was at Nuvolo Palace. She was unhurt. However, she was still trapped. All she got after hours of trying to escape was laughter from Charles’ men.Feeling like a clown, she was red in the face with anger.“Let me go!” She was no longer scared of the people who had kidnapped her. All she wanted was to escape.She changed position and tried to look for another way out, but her efforts were in vain.She opened the window. The night air was cold and brittle.Looking down, her breath caught in her chest. It was too high. If she jumped, she would definitely die.Swallowing, she closed the window.After half an hour of searching in vain, Claire gave up. She sat opposite Charles, who was observing her with some interest. When she sat down, he looked intrigued.Claire drank some water and slammed the glass down. “What was your plan for me after buying me?”“Housekeeping, and…” Charles dragged out the end of his sentence deliberately. He wanted to tease this woman as he found her interesti

Claire grabbed Javier’s sleeve nervously when she heard this. “That’s a hundred million dollars you’re talking about. Don’t be rash!”She hadn’t done anything to deserve a hundred million from Javier. How was she supposed to pay him back in the future?Javier flicked off an invisible speck of dirt from his shirt without looking at her. He was staring at Charles calmly. “Let her go.”Charles gave him a sinister smile, which looked gross to Javier. “I changed my mind. If she can capture your heart, Mr. Marquez, then she’s probably priceless.”Claire was so angry that she almost went up to Charles herself to slap him. “What did you just say? Repeat that to my face,” she said, trembling in anger.Javier, on the other hand, didn’t seem to be angry. He grabbed Claire by the waist and told her gently, “It’s okay. I’m here.” Then, he turned his gaze to Charles. “Then I’m afraid I’ll have to resort to violence.”The atmosphere immediately cooled down at that declaration. Javier’s men stepped fo

The moment Claire was done speaking, the expressions of the people in the company changed drastically. Claire’s expression was more than enough to show that she wasn’t lying at all. It was coupled with the fact that Liam’s public reputation was already bad enough. There were even rumors traveling down the grapevine that he wanted Claire to get married to an old geezer.Obviously, Claire’s words were more convincing compared to Liam’s excuses.At that moment, everyone started looking down on Liam. However, since he was their boss, they didn’t dare show their disdain clearly. Instead, they decided to treat the whole fiasco as if it were a soap opera.Upon realizing that he had become the center of his subordinates’ attention, Liam could feel his pride starting to crumble. Since he was unable to unleash his rage on Claire due to the people present, he could only hint at his assistant to summon the security guards and chase Claire out of the company.Claire had already expected that th

Despite having said that, Claire couldn’t help but feel touched on the inside. She knew that Ollie was an obedient child, which warmed her heart.Meanwhile, Ollie nestled in Claire’s arms. He pulled out a cooling gel patch from his backpack and handed it to Claire. Then, he said eagerly, “Mommy, I used my allowance to buy this patch that can help your pain go away at the supermarket. The pretty sales lady told me that you won’t feel any pain after using this.”Upon noticing the cooling gel patch, Claire was so touched that words couldn’t even begin to describe what she was feeling. She hugged Ollie immediately and started showering him with kisses.“Mwah! My dear Ollie, I’m so happy right now! I knew you were the best! You’re not like a certain someone who was so fierce to me earlier!”The moment she was done speaking, Claire shot a glance at Javier, who remained silent throughout the entire exchange. A hint of resentment shone in her eyes as she did so.Javier just raised an eyeb

After entering the ward, Patty placed the supplements on the bedside table before looking at Claire in concern. “Madam, how are you? Are you feeling better today?”Claire nodded in response, feeling quite warm because of Patty’s concern for her.“Thank you for your concern, Patty. I’m fine. I think I’ll be able to get discharged tomorrow.”It seemed that Claire would be staying the night in the hospital.“Then why don’t I take care of you tonight, Madam?” Patty offered compassionately while tucking the blanket into Claire’s sides.Claire wanted to turn Patty’s offer down. After all, she was an adult, and she would be fine even if no one took care of her. Just as she was about to formulate her response, Javier suddenly spoke up from the side. “I’ll be here tonight, Patty. You should go home.”He was still dealing with his documents without raising his head. However, his attitude was firm, and his word was final.Patty knew Javier’s temperament very well. She opened her mouth, but
