All Chapters of The Return: Dad Quest Initiated: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Claire did not notice Javier looking at her. She had been staring out the window since she got in the car. Hearing what Javier said, she felt strange. Since they were considered childhood sweethearts and he always had such a good woman beside him, why did Javier want a fake marriage with her? However, Claire would never ask such a thing and pretended not to hear and continued looking at the scenery outside in a daze. Ollie was nervous. He had been asking all these questions for his mom, but Claire had no response. Ollie was also afraid to ask more questions, so he just stared at his father. He became even more perplexed as he looked at his mother. He wondered why his parents acted strangely after a woman came to their table. Soon, they arrived home. When Ollie saw Patty, all his worries were gone, and he went to play with her. Claire said she was tired and went upstairs. Seeing Javier standing there, she said, “Thank you for accompanying me to pick a gown. I’m going to rest now

Meanwhile, Javier was about to get off work when Shawn called. “Javier, we’re having a welcome-back dinner for Hattie tonight at the Woodward Hotel. Are you coming?” Shawn asked outright.“No.” Javier rejected it without thinking. Wait…Woodward Hotel. He had heard his assistant mention that the Stardust Entertainment banquet was being held there. “Okay. Wait for me.” Javier suddenly changed his mind and ended the call. He wasn’t sure why, but the thought of Claire being there made him want to attend. Soon, Claire and Thomas arrived at the hotel. Claire walked in with her slender, fair legs. Her fair skin contrasted beautifully with her sleek brows. She was elegant, with a tall, delicate nose. Her lips were red and full, making her very alluring. A silver necklace adorned her neck, accentuating her gentle beauty. To onlookers, Claire was simply breathtaking and incomparable to anyone else in the room. Regarding Thomas—not much needed to be said. He was handsome with a majes

“Hattie, thank you!”Hattie only responded slightly, but it was evident that she wasn’t happy. As the dishes slowly filled the table, she called them over to eat, and this matter passed. Shawn noticed Hattie’s expression and felt distressed. He couldn’t do much, so he laughed to lighten the mood. Javier went to the restroom halfway through the meal. Hattie’s disguise finally fell apart.After ensuring Javier was gone, Hattie couldn’t help but complain, “Shawn, what did I do wrong? Why does Javier treat me like that?” “We all grew up together. Don’t you know who he is? He’s always been this way. Don’t overthink it. It’s not because of you.” Shawn comforted, but his words lacked confidence.However, Hattie was slightly relieved after hearing what he said, even though she still looked disappointed. “Of course, I know what kind of person he is. But I feel like he has a cold heart, and I can’t warm it up no matter how I try.” Suddenly, she thought of something and asked, “Could it

After ten minutes, footsteps could be heard outside. Claire became terrified as she realized the person outside had to be the perpetrator!The sound of approaching footsteps became more audible. The person appeared to be heading in her direction based on the sound. The footsteps then came to a halt at the door. Claire guessed who it was and found out the next second. The door opened, and a man walked in. It was Morrow Marquez!Claire realized it was Morrow who had plotted against her. He most likely conspired with David to trap her. That explained why David was so kind to her. He had wanted her to finish that wine. That glass of wine had most likely been tampered with. How else could she have ended up here?“Ms. Weiss, how are you? Did you miss me? Have you been anxiously waiting for me? Well, here I am.” Morrow slowly approached Claire. He walked and talked to her with a malicious smile. His tone was extremely arrogant and crazy, making him look obscene.Claire retreated slowly, h

Morrow didn’t believe it. Just as he was about to continue questioning Shawn, the door was kicked open from outside. “No one moves! Police!” With that, a few policemen rushed in and arrested Morrow. They even had guns in their hands. This was the first time Morrow had experienced such a scene, and he was outraged. However, he couldn’t vent his anger as he was being taken down. He could only glare at Shawn and Claire and grit his teeth. “Just you guys wait. I will get you back for what happened today!” It seemed like he was speaking to Shawn, but everyone knew it was directed at Javier. He could only put up with this mockery since there was no proof!Morrow was quickly taken away. Shawn suspected Claire had been drugged because she was still in a daze. He had no choice but to carry her first.Claire looked tiny in his arms, like a helpless doll. Shawn, who was holding her, felt like she was a hot potato. She was really on fire. Her body was probably boiling because the drug in h
