When Pedro heard Sofia’s words, he couldn’t help but frown at her. “What do you mean by that? Did you do anything to cause that woman’s sudden disappearance?”He had spent many years with Sofia, so he knew her personality very well. That was why he felt that she was acting weirdly this evening.Sofia’s face turned as white as a sheet, knowing that there was no way she could hide the truth from Pedro. She decided to let the cat out of the bag. “Yes, I’m the one behind her disappearance, but so what? I didn’t hurt that woman and her son. All I did was warn her to stay away from Javier. I even gave her money, but she turned it down.”When Sofia remembered that scene, she was plagued by guilt.After all, that woman left with her son without a word right after the confrontation. Sofia had no idea if the mother and son were met with plight in the outside world.However, Sofia didn’t regret chasing them out of Javier’s life.When Pedro heard Sofia’s confession, he let out a long sigh.

“Fortunately, our personnel just left their posts. I believe we’ll be able to receive new intel from them soon enough. I’ll carry out your orders right away.”As soon as Karen was done speaking, she kept her head bowed as she retreated out of the study as fast as she could.Naturally, Hattie didn’t care about Karen. She kept glaring at a particular spot while feeling waves of hatred attempting to engulf her.Of course, she could care less if Claire was dead or alive. Hence, she decided to recall her personnel the moment she found out about Claire leaving Javier’s side.However, Hattie didn’t expect that Javier cared about Claire much more than she initially thought.Even now, she refused to believe Javier had truly fallen in love with Claire. Hattie was more willing to think that Javier decided to lie in her face the evening before so that she would forget about being with him.Upon being presented with the two potential reasons, Hattie found the second one more believable.No m

After hesitating momentarily, Henry still decided to conceal the fact that he had run into Charles. Then, he said to Javier in a sullen tone, “Mr. Marquez, I’m sorry for not being able to track down Mrs. Marquez.”After speaking, he bowed his head shamefully as if he was willing to accept any form of punishment.Javier’s frustration increased upon seeing Henry’s cowardly demeanor. He waved his hand coldly while saying, “That’s enough. Get out of my sight, you useless fool.”Henry nodded before running out of the office as quickly as he could.At the same time, he wiped the cold sweat off his brow. As expected, Javier’s temperament was so weird that no one could predict his next reaction.Henry was starting to think if he should call in sick for the next couple of days just to avoid Javier for the time being. Otherwise, if things were to continue like this, there was a chance that Javier might murder him in cold blood.The serenity Javier had felt at work all day was slightly tain

Those thoughts kept plaguing Shawn as he watched the time ticking silently on the clock. He felt that he was about to use up all of his energy on negativity.He leaned against the couch lightly, recalling how anxious Hattie sounded in the phone call. Then, he closed his eyes in despair.Shawn knew that Hattie would never show such emotions to him.Soon, she would show up and whisk Javier away. Perhaps she would take him back to his house or bring him back to hers…Then again, it had nothing to do with Shawn.However, his heart still ached for some reason.The pain eventually started flowing through his system. Not even the alcohol’s effects could wash it away.It turned out that alcohol was useless to someone in pain and agony.Shawn kept his eyes closed as he listened to a flurry of loud footsteps coming from the outside. Soon, a familiar figure barged into the private room.Even though he didn’t open his eyes, he knew Hattie was there based on her scent and bearing.After H

A dangerous glint appeared in Javier’s eyes. He no longer looked around his surroundings and went to shower instead.For some reason, Hattie’s scent made him feel disgusted and nauseated.…It was Claire’s fifth day at Yackley Entertainment.She could finally grasp most of the company’s operational details after studying diligently over the previous few days. The night before, she even nailed down a contract for two newbies to join a famous director’s new drama series.When Charles found out about the news the next day, he summoned Claire into his office.He was clad in a white suit then, making him look slimmer and more professional.Charles’ brows were slightly raised, which depicted his good mood.He looked quite handsome in the white suit. In fact, the suit made him appear gentler than other men.Charles was an attractive man. Wherever he was, he would always attract the attention of the masses.However, Claire felt that Charles looked exactly like the rest of the ordinar
