The moment Javier noticed Hattie, his expression instantly became icy.Cold sweat started rolling down everyone’s backs when they noticed their boss’ expression.Anyone present would have sensed that Javier was enraged by Hattie’s presence.Soon, a massacre might break out in the office.When some employees noticed Javier’s expression, they shot Hattie looks of sympathy while thinking that she was in big trouble.Then again, Hattie deserved it. After all, she was the one who had acted like an arrogant queen who thought everyone should bow at her feet.As expected, Hattie was stunned when she noticed the change in everyone’s expressions. However, she quickly returned to her senses.The look of rage faded away instantly. She giggled softly before turning around to face Javier, having previously had her back to him.“Javier, you’re back. It’s torturous for me to spend such a long time waiting for you.”Hattie had already switched to an innocent and harmless expression at that tim

“Miss Snyder may be a vengeful woman, but she doesn’t seem bold enough to exact revenge on your secretary at a time like this.”The day of the wedding was almost here. No matter how enraged Hattie was, she wouldn’t be so stupid as to cause another scene.Javier put away his phone, his cold expression quickly replacing the melancholic one.“I want to achieve two goals. First, I want to ensure Ellie’s safety. Secondly, in the event that Hattie should act impulsively, I’ll be able to find out who’s the one backing her up. Once she makes her move, her weakness will be laid bare. Do you understand now?”Realization dawned on Henry once he heard Javier’s explanation. “I get it now, Mr. Marquez. You’re killing two birds with one stone. You’re as intelligent as ever, Mr. Marquez. That way, we won’t have to worry about not being able to find Hattie’s weakness.”As long as Javier was able to trick Hattie into revealing her true intentions, he wouldn’t have to marry her anymore. Perhaps Clai

Pedro and Sofia rarely visited Javier after hearing that he had brought a filthy woman home.Now that the woman was gone, the elderly couple wasn’t stressed anymore.When they walked into the mansion, a housekeeper immediately recognized them and bowed respectfully. “Mr. and Mrs. Marquez, you’re here. Please, come in.”Sofia harrumphed lightly, already putting on airs as the lady of the Marquez family.Her actions and behavior depicted her noble lineage and the mannerisms instilled within her.Soon, the housekeeper led Pedro and Sofia to the living room respectfully.The environment was still very familiar to the duo. Even though Javier’s mansion was furnished grandly and luxuriously, the whole place still looked empty and lifeless.Pedro and Sofia sat on the main couch reserved only for the head of the house as they waited for the housekeeper to serve them tea.Patty was playing with Ollie in his room, so she didn’t know that Pedro and Sofia had dropped by for a visit.When O

After Javier placed Ollie in his room, he didn’t say much, even after noticing the latter’s confused expression.Instead, he headed downstairs right away.Meanwhile, Sofia and Pedro sat on the couch stiffly. Both of them had solemn expressions on their faces.The former glanced at the staircase, soon realizing that Ollie didn’t follow Javier down the stairs. Then, she whispered to her son, “Javier, do you really want to keep the child with you? Don’t forget that you’re about to marry Hattie. Don’t you think she will suffer a lot after joining our family because of that child?”Javier responded by raising an eyebrow while gazing at Sofia quietly. He didn’t bother providing her with a verbal answer.Sofia couldn’t help but feel anxious when she noticed Javier’s quiet demeanor. She started urging, “Javier, why must you act this way? Did I spend all these years raising and educating you just so you can make me angry whenever you want?”Finally, a spark of emotion appeared in Javier’s

“Ollie, turn on the tracking feature on Twitter and send me your current location!”Claire’s message had a palpable sense of unease and other tumultuous emotions.Suddenly, she found herself to be afraid of the man’s identity. It could be Javier, but it might not be him also. Needless to say, it was driving her crazy.Ollie had never used Twitter before, so he fiddled with the app for a long time before finally locating the tracking feature.Once he activated the feature, the words “Diroux Residences” appeared in large letters on the screen.Ollie’s familiarity with the alphabet enabled him to quickly memorize the location’s name as he contemplated its origin.After all, that name seemed posh and grand at first glance.Then again, no matter how amazing a place could be, Ollie was still unhappy because Claire wasn’t with him.Once Claire found out where the place was, she could take him away. Ollie was willing to go anywhere with her as long as he got to be with her.The little
