Javier’s eyes reddened in a split second when he read Claire’s message on the private chat.He was a strong man, but even he had the sudden urge to cry.It turned out that he wasn’t the only one who missed Claire. Both of them still missed each other very badly.No other moment in life was as emotional as when Javier found out about Claire’s feelings.Suddenly, he wanted nothing more than to hold Claire in his arms and hug her tightly. Then, he would tell her that his life had been terrible ever since she left his side.A while later, he typed one word into the chatbox tenderly.“No.”Javier wasn’t living a good life at all.Claire clutched the phone while staring at the lone word on her screen.Tears rolled down her cheeks without any warning. They contained the sorrow and pain she felt for Javier.Even though Claire had an inkling that Javier might not be living well, she was still unable to accept it when someone else suddenly told her the absolute answer.She had endured

No matter what, Hattie needed to remove that thorn as soon as possible.Otherwise, she would suffer every day.Hattie wouldn’t be able to sleep well at night as long as Claire was alive. She was worried that she wouldn’t be able to secure the position as Mrs. Marquez.Her gaze became cold and cruel as she continued thinking about Claire. She wondered where Claire was and what she was doing at the moment.Hattie felt it wasn’t impossible for her to take Claire out without anyone knowing.With that thought in mind, Hattie picked up her phone and called a certain someone.“Harold, what have you been up to lately?”Hattie’s voice was incredibly gentle to the point that she almost sounded like a different person.It was obvious that the man on the other end of the line enjoyed listening to that tone. He chuckled lightly before replying, “Hattie, my dear cousin! What prompted you to call me on this fine morning? Do you miss me already?”Hattie giggled shyly before her seductive and

A glint of hatred shone in Shawn’s eyes. He hated that Hattie was such a cruel and merciless woman who treated other people like maggots.Had it been someone else who committed the murders, he wouldn’t have hesitated to send them packing to jail.It was implausible that such atrocious deeds could have been executed right under his and Javier’s watchful eyes without the slightest acknowledgment of the power they both held.However, Hattie was the one who had committed those murders. Regrettably, that woman held a special place in Shawn’s heart. He knew that no one could afford to turn back now that things had progressed to this point.Having reached that conclusion, Shawn released Hattie’s chin while looking slightly depressed. Then, he picked up his wine glass and downed the contents immediately.Once Hattie was free from Shawn’s grasp, she couldn’t help but inhale deeply to calm herself down.She was extremely nervous earlier because two out of three men had leverage over her.

Hattie was only left with one choice—to comply with Shawn’s wishes.She had already weighed her pros and cons in just two seconds.For the first time, panic, anxiety, and pain were evident on her face.Hattie made herself look inferior to Shawn as she looked at him nervously. Then, she reached out carefully and tugged on his sleeve in an attempt to gauge his response. “Please, Shawn. I’m begging you. Please don’t do this to me, okay? I didn’t do anything at all. Why wouldn’t you let me go? Please don’t send it to anyone else.”Naturally, she was referring to the clip of her striptease.Shawn’s gaze was fixed on the delicate and exquisite hands tugging at his sleeve. These very hands had been responsible for unspeakable atrocities. He shook off those hands in disgust, his tone conveying an unmistakable sense of impatience as he said, “Stop lying to me. I know you’re begging me right now just because I have leverage over you. I can help you keep this secret and not send this video

Charles noticed Claire’s expression, so he hurriedly motioned her to eat, saying, “Hurry up and eat. Make yourself at home.”A smile curled on Claire’s lips. Even though she was starving, she still acted and behaved elegantly. In a way, she still presented herself as a scion of a wealthy family.The woman ate slowly and as politely as she could. On the other hand, Charles felt that she looked even more charming when eating.He finally tore his gaze off Claire’s form without giving anything away. Suddenly, he remembered something, so he decided to probe her. “Claire, if I remember correctly, you’re the oldest scion of the Weiss family.”Claire was caught off guard momentarily, clearly not expecting Charles to bring her family up. A flash of awkwardness streaked past her face at that moment.The Weiss family was a part of her history that she refused to talk about no matter what. She had no idea why Charles would ask her about them.“The thing is, I’m no longer a part of that famil
