Semua Bab The Return: Dad Quest Initiated: Bab 11 - Bab 20

When Claire finally came around, she was no longer at Chantelle and Armand’s engagement party. She had no idea when she had been sent to the hospital.She was still suffering from a splitting headache that felt as though someone was hammering away at her head.“Ollie…” she started weakly, but all that came out was a rasp, which quickly transformed into a bout of hacking coughs.Liam, who was standing beside the bed, did not seem the least bit concerned about her health when he saw her wake up. Instead, all he cared to ask was, “What’s your relationship with Javier Marquez?”At this point, Claire had nothing but pure hatred left for her father. She could almost smell the stench of greed wafting off him, and her headache intensified.Not in the mood to entertain his interrogation, Claire pushed herself into a sitting position on the bed and called out as loudly as her body could take it, “Ollie, come here.”“Quit shouting! He’s not here.” Liam frowned impatiently. “I got Chantelle to bri

Since Javier wasn’t willing to help, she would have to rely on herself. She would definitely get Ollie back. She wasn’t going to let her father have his way. Steeling her heart, Claire swiftly left Marquez Group.Returning to the Weiss’ villa, she secretly entered through the backyard, careful to not be spottedby the surveillance cameras.This villa was the first place she could think of to search for Ollie. If her father had really brought Ollie here, she would take Ollie away in secret after finding him and never return.However, she couldn’t find any signs of Ollie after searching high and low.Could it be that he wasn’t here?Claire frowned, but before she could think deeper about it, she heard a delicate voice say, “Damn, I feel so tired.”It was Chantelle!Claire was startled and quickly hid behind a potted plant. Using the leaves to cover herself, she peeked through them and could clearly see Chantelle and Armand slowly walking in her direction.“Why don’t we go back an

How could she get into the room? Claire frowned in distress.It was at that moment that an attendant pushed a food cart past her.A bright idea came to Claire’s mind, and she strode forward. Snatching the cart away, she smiled at the dumbfounded attendant and said, “Here, let me.”“Who are you?” the attendant questioned as she didn’t recognize her at all.“You don’t know who I am?” Claire asked, widening her eyes and pretending to be surprised before sighing helplessly. “That makes sense. This hotel is so large and has so many employees. It’s possible for everyone to not be acquainted with each other.” She then quickly said, “Why don’t you take a break? I’ll handle this.”“But—” Before the attendant could say what was on her mind, Claire cut her off. “Don’t worry, we should help take care of each other seeing as we’re colleagues. I notice that you have very dark circles, probably from a lack of proper rest. So why don’t you take this opportunity to get some?”“Dark circles?” th

Ollie pouted ruefully at the question. “It’s Bad Aunty! She’s the one who locked me up. She doesn’t want me to meet Mommy, so she’s been keeping me in here. Besides, she also threatened me saying if I’m naughty, the two men will beat me up!” Ollie pointed an accusing finger toward the two men. “There they are. They’re bad people, just like Bad Aunty!” Javier frowned and shot them a cold look. When the two men saw this, they quickly averted their gaze in fear. “But I’m not scared!” Ollie put on a brave smile, wiping away the sadness from his face. “Because I knew Dad would definitely come and save me!” Ollie wrapped his arms around Javier’s neck and snuggled into him affectionately. Javier was unexpectedly moved by Ollie’s childlike words. The ice around his heart melted inexplicably.Taken aback, the bodyguards noticed that Javier did not shy away from Ollie’s touch. Besides that, the frigid atmosphere around their boss seemed a little warmer than usual. It was the first time

Claire’s surroundings appeared dark as she had a cloth over her head; all she knew was that she was being led to a remote location. Her heart grew more and more anxious as time passed, and she desperately kicked the room door with her unbound legs. However, the door stayed closed.After struggling for quite some time, she finally heard the door open and vaguely saw outlines of a few large men entering the room.The cloth on her head was removed and she was immediately blinded by the sudden increase in brightness. Claire glared fiercely at the people before her once her eyes had gotten use to the light again.“Let me go right now, Chantelle! I’ll make you pay if anything happens to Ollie!” she said, all while attempt to break free of her bonds; her face flushing from the effort.“I think you should just wait here obediently for Javier to come rescue you. You both are husband and wife; surely he won’t forsake you if he cares about you, am I right?” Envy flashed across Chantelle’s eye
