Chapter 468 What a Wicked Woman

The more Claire thought about it, the more uneasy she became. She was very sure that her emotions would soon drive her nuts.When Hattie realized that Claire refused to leave the study, she became anxious, seeing as she couldn’t do anything about it.She kept thinking the whole time before ordering a housekeeper to bring her a glass of milk. Also, she specifically requested that the milk be heated in the microwave for a few minutes. Then, the housekeeper was forced to knock on the study door while balancing the glass of milk on a tray.“Madam, I’ve brought you a glass of warm milk,” the housekeeper said with a reluctant expression on her face. However, she didn’t dare to look in Hattie’s direction at all.When Claire opened the door, she noticed Hattie still standing outside the study. She replied in displeasure, “You may leave after leaving the milk here.”The housekeeper grabbed the heated glass and started approaching Javier’s desk carefully.Unexpectedly, Hattie suddenly stru

Chapter 469 Extreme Humiliation

“You’re the one who did this in the first place. Who gave you permission to cause trouble in my house?”While Javier spoke, his gaze fixed on the necklace adorning Hattie’s neck. Then, he narrowed his eyes dangerously.“Do you really think I’m this easy to fool, hmm? Are you that confident that I’ll tolerate you every time?”Javier slowly approached Hattie, flames of burning rage and icy aloofness burning in his eyes. As a result, Hattie couldn’t help but shiver in fright.She had never seen Javier look so furious in her entire life. Hattie couldn’t care less about everything then. She decided to deploy the same trick that she had used last time on Javier—the art of looking aggrieved while whining coquettishly. “Javier, why are you lecturing me again because of that woman? This is the second time you’ve treated me like this!”“That’s enough!” Javier berated angrily, no longer wishing to waste his breath on Hattie. Instead, he extended his hand at her. “Are you going to give me t

Chapter 470 Someone’s in Big Trouble

“I want you to—”Javier’s voice floated in the air like a harmonious melody that couldn’t be grasped nor seen, but his subordinate’s expression kept changing drastically as he listened to the former’s instructions.“Do you know what to do now?” Javier asked in a deep voice.The subordinate nodded, not daring to show the slightest hint of playfulness in front of his boss. He replied in a respectful and serious tone, “Yes, sir.”After that, he left Javier’s office immediately.Only after the subordinate had left Javier’s line of sight did he dare to relax and let out a mental sigh of relief.It seemed that anyone who provoked his boss would be met with a fate worse than death.Hattie was definitely in big trouble this time.After Javier had given his instructions to that particular subordinate, he finally felt slightly better. For the first time in his life, he was amused by his tendency to go through rapid mood swings.Then, he went through the pile of work as quickly as he cou

Chapter 471 Only He Is Worthy of Her

Raina cheered when she saw the food on the table. "What's the occasion, Claire? Why are you treating us to so much food?" she asked as she sat down.Claire laughed. "Come on over. We're all waiting for you."Thomas was a little taken aback when he saw Claire's pallid face. "You don't look very good," he said with concern. "Are you okay, Claire?"Claire put a hand to her face and tried to ignore the uneasiness she was feeling. "I'm fine, Thomas. I think I just haven't been sleeping well. Also, I'm pregnant, so I may have to take some time off work. I'll do the handover over the next few days."She spoke calmly, showing none of her bitterness. She would miss the job.Thomas almost spat out his water when he heard that. "You're pregnant?" he asked, shocked.How did he not know that Claire was pregnant?The shock on Thomas' face was indescribable. He stared at Claire, waiting for her to say that she was just joking.Claire laughed at him and gave him a good-natured glare. "You're a supers

Chapter 472 You're Hurting Me

Claire was exhausted. She didn't think she could keep it up anymore.Every time she thought of leaving Javier and how much it would hurt him, she felt as if she had been stabbed through the heart.After crying for a long time, she collected herself. She had to be strong to face what was about to happen next.She called Charles for help. Right now, he was the only one who could protect Ollie.After some effort, she found Charles' phone number and called him. He picked up the phone with a questioning hum.Brightening up, Claire said, "Charles, it's me, Claire Weiss."Charles already knew who she was the moment he picked up the phone."Why are you calling me? You miss me?" He laughed.Claire had no time for Charles' teasing. She took a deep breath and said, "Charles, I need your help. You're the only person powerful enough to help me with this."Charles seemed to already know what had happened. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Okay, but why do you think I should help you? What will

Chapter 473 This Is Not Your Child

Javier had no intention to let her go, even as she kicked him with her unhurt leg."Why do you keep doing this? The child I'm carrying is not yours, and it's not Charles' either. The father is someone else. Please let me go!" Out of anger, Claire blurted this out cruelly.Javier paused. He stared at Claire in disbelief. "What did you say? Say that again."His expression was terrifying. Even though Claire was scared, she still repeated, "I said, the child I am carrying is not yours. It's someone else's. I can't marry you, so please let me go."This was the only way she would be able to leave him.As she expected, Javier's eyes were burning with hatred. He tightened his grip on her chin. "Do you know the consequences of lying to me?" he asked through gritted teeth.Claire couldn't bring herself to look into his eyes when he was in such a state. Trembling, she said, "I know the consequences. I just hope you'll let me go for Ollie's sake. I won't ever appear in front of you ever again."As

Chapter 474 Let Me Go

It finally sunk in that Javier had imprisoned Claire. As the days drew closer to the wedding, she began to panic. If she really married Javier, then what would happen to Ollie and the child she was carrying?She wanted to marry Javier, but she couldn't.She couldn't sit still with that thought. One way or another, she had to escape.However, she was locked up in this room without her phone.Not only could she not get out, but no one outside could also contact her either. Trying to calm her racing heart, Claire cursed herself for being useless. How could she be so stupid? She should have learned her lesson from last night.As Claire was frustrated in her room, so was Javier.He didn't know why he was locking Claire up either. He loved Claire and wanted to cherish her, but he wanted to keep her under his eye all the time. Whenever he remembered the way she was smiling when she was calling Charles yesterday, he felt agitated.As for the child she was carrying, he had to admit that he wa

Chapter 475 Let Him Leave

Javier dismissed the thought immediately.Claire clearly couldn't wait to distance herself from him. Why would she wait for him?With that thought, his expression darkened.Claire turned when she heard Javier coming back in.Her eyes were a little bleary. "Oh, you're finally finished with your work, Javier," she said awkwardly, then stopped. She didn't know what to say next.Before this, she had scripted out what she wanted to say to Javier.No matter what, she needed to convince Javier to let her go.However, she seemed to have forgotten what to say when she saw Javier.Javier gave her a deep look and walked away. "Follow me," he said, without further explanation.Claire didn't know what he was up to, but she did as she was told.Outside, she saw Javier's car, the one that he used to drive her to her office.She went closer, heart racing.Javier was one of the rare people who could afford to drive a three-million-dollar car.Just as she was perplexed, Javier rolled down the window and

Chapter 476 You Know the Consequences

Javier had been with Claire for a long time now. There was no reason for her to call off the wedding so suddenly.He refused to believe that she had cheated on him.He actually had his suspicions about what had happened. This suspicion first surfaced when Claire was poisoned and almost miscarried.Lately, he had been busy with the wedding, so he hadn't been paying attention to Hattie.It seemed like he had no choice but to confront her.He had an idea.He called Hattie. The call was answered almost immediately. "Hello, Javier! What's up?"Unbeknownst to Javier, Hattie was delighted when she received Javier's call.She was only forcing herself to sound calm so that she did not ruin her image."Come to my office when you have time later." Javier hung up directly after saying that.Hattie didn't know what was going on, but she was still excited.Javier sounded like he was asking her out on a date!With that thought, Hattie dressed up nicely and hurried over to Javier's office.In his offi

Chapter 477 Well Played

Hattie was startled, but she did not show it. Clenching her fists, she forced herself to calm down. "I understand, Javier."She had never felt so lowly before. Even though she resented it, she did not dare show it.Javier scoffed. He did not spare her another glance, clearly showing his disappointment.Hattie just stood there awkwardly, not knowing if she should stay or leave. After a while, she found an excuse and left hurriedly.Resentment boiled within her.If Javier wasn't present, she might have gone mad with hatred.She hadn't expected Javier to call her to his office just to talk about Claire.He had even warned her to stay away from her. As if that wasn't enough, he didn't even look her straight in the eyes when he warned her. That hurt her feelings.The more Hattie thought about it, the angrier she got. What had Claire done to deserve his special treatment?When Hattie left Javier's office, she loosened her tightly clenched fists. Her palms were filled with bruises. She felt
