Semua Bab Guardian-In-Law: Bab 3821 - Bab 3830

Since Clarice had it tough in life, she would fight for her rights every step of the way. However, anything related to her father left her feeling hurt. Despite her determination, she was just an ordinary girl. She yearned for family and her father’s love. Having lost her mother at a young age, Clarice thought she would be compensated with double the love. Instead, she was neglected. Kaze quietly lent an ear, his heart going out to Clarice. However, she had the will to fight back, and Edmund had her back at least.“Do you think I’m going about this wrong? I don’t have to defy my father, but if he just shows me a little concern, I’ll do what he says.” Clarice was full of contradictions. She hoped to get a reaction out of her father, yet she still pined for his love.In other words, Clarice was desperate for her family’s attention but was lost in her approach. “You’re not wrong. It’s just a matter of perspective. “You’re the connection to the Wittersons. If you can help your

Clarice was ideal for a marriage alliance for the Geofreys. She grimaced, aware of the path her family chose for her. However, refusing to accept reality, she feigned ignorance, even though the problem would not go away. As the air became tense, Kaze realized he should not have brought the subject up. It felt so real to Clarice that she felt detached from reality. “This is the norm, but maybe things will be different with your family.” Kaze tried to console her. “No, you’re right. My father can put up with me sometimes, but I’m expected to attend social events, and he would make sure that I’m dressed to the nines.” Clarice was clear on that point. She used to think her father’s attention to her appearance was a sign that he cared, but it only dawned on her now that they were just parading her. “My father often stayed by my side during these events, so I thought he cared about me. Now I know that he was just showing me off like merchandise. I guess because of the things I do

“But Mr. Witterson’s niece is indeed one-of-a-kind. I heard she’s open-minded and cannot be bound by the norms.” Dwight suddenly thought of Clarice. He saw the girl at the restaurant yesterday and also saw Edmund’s reaction. The girl intrigued him. However, he was just an outsider of the Viper’s Den and could only get so much information about her. “How’s the relationship between the Wittersons and Geofreys?” Kaze was curious. “Not bad, but not good either. I don’t know if they’re working together, but what I do know is that the Geofreys have to please the Wittersons.” The limited information he had about the family was some gossip he had heard from someone else. “If you’re curious, I can ask around for you,” he said. Kaze looked out the window. He found that the greens had lessened and were replaced by concrete structures. They seemed to have left the wealthy district. One of the rooms in the Wittersons’ mansion was luxuriously decorated and filled with pink items, sig

Edmund knew he had a huge ambition, but he had to take the risk in order to get control of the Viper’s Den. Although he had taken control of the finance side of things, it did not mean he had total control of the Viper’s Den. That was the reason why he was eager for more. Ryan, on the other hand, was still skeptical, but since Edmund had given him the order, he dared not question the choice. With that, he got someone to follow Kaze and Dwight. As long as the duo did nothing wrong and were kept under their watch, everything would be fine. Ryan might not know what Edmund had in mind, but he had a feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed. “Did Kaze leave his room yesterday? Did he meet with Clarice?” Edmund asked when he recalled Clarice’s interest in Kaze. If the two of them had not met, there was no way Clarice would show such interest in Kaze. “I don’t think so. Kaze and Dwight were in the same room. If Kaze left, Dwight would’ve noticed.” Ryan found it strange

Manfred continued working, choosing not to mention anything about the situation to his current wife. He simply believed that, as long as Clarice stayed out of trouble, there was nothing else to worry about. As for whether his wife would make things difficult for Clarice, he did not care. Besides, Clarice was not a timid girl. She was hot-headed and rash, and if she felt mistreated, she would surely strike back in her own way. There was no need for the father to worry. Hence, Manfred simply decided to stay out of it. He had no intention of getting involved, no matter how bad things got. However, he had to do something since Edmund called him in person. The most he could do was talk to his wife when he got home later. “It’s a hassle, but it’s nothing worth stressing about. I’ll just let this pass,” he muttered to himself as he continued his work. Edmund, of course, knew how Manfred would react. He called to give a warning so that the father would not push his luck. So long as Cla
