Chapter 141 Unresolved Dispute

Some of the bystanders were taken aback and gasped in shock, thinking that Claire was too bold. Although she had a powerful background, the woman she was facing also had her own connections and was not easy to mess with.More people gathered around to watch the scene, all anticipating what would happen next. At the same time, they were curious about Claire’s connections, would they be able to help her resolve this matter?After being slapped twice, the woman’s face was swollen, and her makeup was smudged. She tried to strike back.Claire did not kick her this time, but instead, she grabbed both her hands and immobilized her so she could not move an inch.“The first slap was for my son—because you said he had no manners. The second slap was for me—because you called me a slut. You brought this upon yourself, and if you make any more moves, I won't hesitate to slap you again."After speaking, Claire coldly released the woman and walked away with Ollie without looking back.The woma

Chapter 142 Inner Warmth

Javier stood on Ollie’s left, and Claire stood on his right. The family of three walked down the street, looking warm and cozy.Ollie would occasionally act spoiled and ask Claire to hold him, to which she reluctantly obliged.Javier watched from the side. Strangely, he felt a bit jealous. He turned his face and did not look at her.They returned home happily. The couple and child who were humiliated earlier would likely be too embarrassed to show their faces again. At the house entrance, Javier opened the door with his bony and distinct fingers.Ollie ran in excitedly. Today was a happy day for him, and Claire smiled as she watched him run around with his stuffed toy.Ollie got tired after he played for a while. He placed the teddy bear on the bed, covered it with a blanket, and took a shower. He then went to bed, hugging his teddy bear with a smile on his face.Claire let out a sigh of relief when Ollie fell asleep. It was a chaotic day. Her voice was hoarse, and she went dow

Chapter 143 Not Playing Hard to Get

As Claire made her way through the company, people came and went, and each one cheerfully greeted her. “Good morning, Ms. Claire.”She nodded and responded, “Good morning.” She continued on to Thomas’s practice room. She knocked on the door and walked in.“Claire, you’re here,” Thomas said as he stopped what he was doing and walked over to Claire.“How’s the training going?” Claire asked, seeing the sweat on Thomas’s body. It was impressive to see him working so hard early in the morning.“It’s going okay.” Thomas replied, looking down at his muscular arms and wiping off the sweat.Claire nodded and patted his arm. “You’re doing great. You’ve made a lot of progress.”Thomas blushed at her praise and scratched his head. Claire then got serious and pulled out a file from her handbag.She said, “I received a call today from the popular variety show ‘Rising Stars off the Grill’. They want to invite you to be a guest on the show. This is a great opportunity for you, Thomas. You nee

Chapter 144 Wine and Beauty

At this moment, Javier looked in the direction of Claire, his dangerous eyes narrowed and the cold aura emanating from his body made Shawn and Leo slightly startled.Leo was Javier’s business partner and also a longtime friend. Although their relationship was not as close as Shawn’s, they were still good buddies.Shawn and Leo exchanged a glance, both saw surprise in each other’s eyes.Javier had been looking off since he came, and now it seemed like he was about to explode.Leaning over to Shawn, Leo whispered, “Shawn, what has gotten into Javier? Did he get triggered by something?”It was no wonder he was surprised. After all, the Javier he knew was notoriously cold and could control his emotions. This behavior was rare.Shawn shook his head. He remembered Javier’s recent behavior, and also started to wonder.Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and Claire’s beautiful face came to mind. Was this because of their marriage?Sure enough, following Javier’s gaze, Shawn sa

Chapter 145 He Kissed Her

The aroma of alcohol filled the air. Claire’s eyebrows twitched at the smell of it. Memories of that night flashed through her mind, and it ignited a burning anger within her.She now strongly suspected that Morrow did it on purpose, knowing that she wouldn’t let it go easily. He deliberately humiliated her because she could not do anything to him at the moment.Claire reached out to pour the wine over Morrow’s ugly face, but at the last moment, she held back. Today was a big day for Thomas, and she could not afford to make any mistakes. Otherwise, Morrow might do something to ruin it.Claire took a deep breath and tried to sound normal. She let out a sarcastic chuckle and said, “Mr. Marquez, you know I can’t handle my liquor. I won’t be drinking.”She deliberately mentioned her inability to hold her liquor to remind him of what happened that day. However, Morrow acted as if nothing happened and said, "Claire, you played a significant role in the company's success. Let me raise a t

Chapter 146 This Is Punishment

It wasn’t until Javier almost took her last breath that Claire finally snapped out of her shock and hastily pushed him away. Javier’s breath still lingered on her lips, making her face flush red. She gasped for breath and stuttered, “What, what were you doing?”She wanted to demand why he had suddenly kissed her, but the words could not come out no matter how hard she tried. It was just too embarrassing!Javier’s eyes grew even darker as he noticed Claire’s expression. Without a word, he averted his gaze and cleared his throat. “Don’t forget that you’re my wife in name. And have you forgotten what almost happened to you last time?As Claire recalled that incident, she felt a twinge of embarrassment. She coughed lightly and pulled away from Javier. She felt that he was dangerous and did not want to be too close to him.“I haven’t forgotten what happened last time. I just happened to run into him by chance. Thomas is here to record a program, and that’s why I came.” Despite Claire’s

Chapter 147 An Unusual Connection With Her

At the other side of the restaurant, Shawn and Leo were sipping their wine while they chatted. They looked over to Morrow’s side occasionally and could see that he was sulking.Leo got bored at the sight. He looked at Shawn and asked, “Shawn, what’s Javier doing? Why is he taking so long to go to the bathroom?”Shawn snickered, “You think he’s gone to the bathroom?”“Not really. He might not even be able to return.” Leo shook his head. He wondered in amazement, “Javier is acting so strange. What’s gotten into him?”At that thought, Leo saw through the corner of his eyes that Javier had walked out of the bathroom with a woman by his side.Leo was shocked. His eyes widened in surprise as he stared at them. He nudged Shawn and said, “Shawn, take a look, quick, there’s something big happening!”Shawn followed his gaze. He saw Javier and Claire walking out of the bathroom one after the other, and they left the restaurant directly.Instead of being shocked, Shawn understood in his hea

Chapter 148 Only Want Her to Be Happy

When Javier got up to refill his coffee, he saw Claire lying on her side on the couch. Half her face was glimmering due to the sunlight. Her delicate facial features looked sharper under the shining sun. Occasionally, she would frown or stretch, which gave her a lithe feeling. Javier couldn't keep his eyes off her. Claire never noticed his burning gaze because she was too focused on her phone.Instead, she enjoyed this rare moment of peace. Javier looked away but could no longer focus on his work. His gaze would turn to Claire from time to time. He laughed at himself. He had seen so many types of women. What was going on with him?Time passed by, and Claire slowly closed her eyes and slept on the couch. When Javier couldn't control himself and glanced at the couch, Claire was peacefully asleep. Startled, Javier thought that most people would be nervous when they entered his office, but she actually fell asleep. What a rare sight. He helplessly sighed and got a blanket to cover

Chapter 149 Worse Than Her

Hattie's face was ashen after seeing how peacefully Claire was sleeping and didn't wake up after she had been there for such a long time. Javier looked up to see Hattie's gaze fixed on the couch. He wasn't surprised and coldly said, "Put the things here, and you can leave. I have some work to deal with."In the past, Hattie would endure Javier's intentional coldness and distance from her. She would leave after putting away the soup, of course. However, something was different this time. Javier said he was busy, but Claire slept soundly on the couch. What right did Claire have to sleep in Javier's office?Hattie boldly asked, "Javier, why is she here? Aren't you going to give me an explanation?" There was no emotion in Javier's eyes. He only looked up and said, "Hattie, there's a limit to my patience. Don't try to challenge it."Hearing how he deliberately lowered his voice made Hattie's heart ache. She wasn't a fool and understood Javier didn't want to wake Claire up. Also, she

Chapter 150 Are You jealous

Javier glanced at Shawn indifferently. He knew what he was thinking about. His friend was almost perfect. However, he had to protect Hattie. So, Javier didn’t bother to explain. Instead, he looked at the soup Hattie had brought over. “She brought this soup over. Do you want it? If you don’t, I’ll throw it away.” Shawn was used to Javier’s indifference. Plus, whenever Hattie gave Javier something, it would end up in his hands anyway. “Understood. I’ll take it away,” Shawn said as he walked to the sofa with the container in hand. It was heavy, just like his current mood.Right then, Claire heard the noise and opened her eyes slowly. The person she first saw was Shawn. She was shocked and quickly got up. Awkward, she asked, “Mr. Jones. Why are you here?”Seeing her awake, Shawn greeted her politely. “What a coincidence, Ms. Weiss.” After that, he helplessly looked at Javier and hinted that he wasn’t the one to wake her up. Realizing she had slept in Javier’s office for a while
