There was doubt in her eyes. Even though she had worn nice clothes, there was a great sense of worry. The past was still haunting her, in front of the mirror, she looked down unconsciously. Ahren's heart was beating uncomfortably. There might be something more than the other Astor family members would do to them.Unconsciously, she had exhaled repeatedly, the hatred and doubt mixed within her. A family should have a warm relationship, but not the Astor family. It would require a wrong path if they could be at the highest peak. They would step on and pull down those in front of them."Ahren, you look very worried. If they see this from you, they will take great pleasure in destroying you, Ahren." Clayton, of course, noticed, he could guess what Ahren was worried about. The truth was that he didn't want to come to the Astor family party, but he couldn't just run away."Yes, I know. I will try hard to hide this expression on my face. And since we're still at home, I'm not trying to hide

"You insolent bastard, how dare you speak in this place. You're the one who shouldn't be talking at all because you have no manners." Flori headed towards Clayton, remembering what it felt like to be humiliated by that man. So, she held a powerful grudge against Clayton."Isn't this a family gathering, and any one member of the Astor family can speak?" Clayton looked calm and was able to return Flori's glare.There were even some people there who were not members of the Astor family who could be here calmly."Are you not self-aware? You've never been considered a member of the Astor family. You're a useless and troublesome man. Now you're talking as if your wife can work with a company the Arnould family owns. What a fool."Other than Flori, the others also seemed to strongly disapprove of Clayton being here. They were forced to accept it and did not expect him to discuss creating an unpleasant atmosphere."Ahren has the ability, and anyone member of the Astor family can follow this.

"H-how did you give me this document? This is a very difficult thing."Ahren was still very confused, she could not find the answer to her wish. This was so overwhelming that she pressed her thumbs together slightly to calm down."I already said that I wanted to help you, Ahren, and I gathered them carefully with Otto's help."He lied in a way to reassure the woman in front of him, the words that came out of his mouth had been carefully thought out because he didn't want to reveal the secret he was hiding. it wasn't time for Ahren to find out.Of course! The old man who could give this good information to Clayton. Clayton, this time, could help her get herself excited again, even her fingers tapping on the table as she now had an extra boost of enthusiasm. A smile appeared on her face, the desire so obvious.A face that was filled with smiles and looked happy was indeed more suitable for the woman, it calmed the man in front of her, then he quickly left Ahren's presence to let her pro

The sky was not too dazzling because the sun was already slightly below, the tall buildings looked magnificent, and the streets were filled with cars passing by, but there was no traffic jam. One thing that really caught Clayton's attention was the woman in front of him. Her demeanor was calm, and she always agreed to Clayton's wishes. She was a reliable woman, even though she occasionally spoke as if she was opposing or correcting."What are you doing here?" Clayton pulled Tiara's body and pushed her to the side, and when Tiara was able to stand up properly, he released his hands wrapped around Tiara's slender waist.The glare from in front of him was intense, any other person would immediately notice if they were stared at with anger.Tiara was confused, her old nerves stabilized quickly as she took a breath, and she immediately answered Clayton's question."Mr. Clayton, I'm here to see my friend."She moved her eyes, it looked uneasy. She was thinking of something to end this conve

Ahren was more gentle, she put down two small plates of chocolate cake pieces and placed them on the table right in front of Clayton."You seem to have a good job, you're doing some very different things to what you're used to." Ahren spoke, she looked to her left side, stepped over a few times, picked up the document she had put down earlier and returned back until she was sitting in front of Clayton."Yeah, I did a good job. How about you? Soon, you will definitely put in a proposal to propose cooperation with the Arnould family."Bringing up this matter was intentional, he wanted to know how his wife felt. Ahren was the type of person who, when working, rarely wanted to be disturbed, she was focused on her own ideas and her work. She was a complicated person because she set her targets high. Many people want to do this and that but are often constrained by situations and conditions.Now that she obviously has better circumstances, it's even harder to do so because she's now a leade
