THE WHOLE STORY

Inside Claire's company.

Brentley looked puzzled after hearing Erica's words. He couldn't understand what Claire's company's problems had to do with him. If Claire hadn't called him here today, he wouldn't have even known she ran a cosmetics company.

"I've never been to this company. What does her business have to do with me?" Brentley asked Erica.

"Stop pretending you don't know. My cousin's company is in trouble, and it's definitely because of you. If it weren't for you, Mr. Ralap wouldn't have canceled his investment in my sister's company.

If Mr. Ralap hadn't canceled his investment, these shareholders wouldn't be causing trouble," Erica said, pouting.

"Mr. Ralap?" Brentley was taken aback. He recalled that the rich guy who confessed to Claire last night was also named Mr. Ralap.

"Erica, can you explain in detail? What does this have to do with me?" Brentley asked seriously after a moment's hesitation.

Erica turned to Brentley with a disdainful

    ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?In the conference room of Opal Cosmetic Ltd."President Harris, today you must handle the matter of our stock buyback, or we won't leave!" A middle-aged man in a suit shouted at Claire, his expression unusually agitated."That's right, if we don't get our money today, we're not leaving!""We're not leaving!"The other shareholders echoed, their voices rising in unison."Uncle Wallace, Uncle James, please, for my father's sake, give me a few more days. I promise I'll give you a satisfactory answer in three days..." Claire rubbed her temples, looking extremely tired as she pleaded with the group."Give you a few more days?" The middle-aged man couldn't help but let out a cold laugh at her words."Claire, Claire, we invested in this company because of your father. We let you manage it because of him too!""Exactly, but look at what you've done to the company. And now you want us to give you more time? Think about how much time we've already given

His presence was making things even more complicated today."You dare throw something at me?" the middle-aged man shouted at Brentley after recovering from the shock."Weren't you laughing so happily just now? Go on, keep laughing," Brentley said coldly, squinting his eyes at the man."You... you..." The middle-aged man was trembling with anger. He shouted, "Claire, so you brought this kid here just to humiliate me, didn't you? I was planning to give you a chance out of respect for your father, but now, forget it. I'm pulling out my shares today!""Yes, we're pulling out our shares too!""Pull out!"The other sharehold

However, before Brentley could leave the conference room, a young man in a white suit strolled in, swaying slightly.Brentley looked up and recognized the young man immediately. It was none other than Mr. Ralap, the rich kid who had confessed to Claire at the bar last night."Mr. Ralap!""Mr. Ralap!"Everyone in the room stood up quickly to greet Mr. Ralap, their attitudes extremely polite. It was obvious that these people were in cahoots with Mr. Ralap; otherwise, they wouldn't be acting this way."Claire, what's going on here? Your company seems pretty lively today!" Mr. Ralap walked up to Claire, smiling as he spoke to her."Ralap, stop pretending in front of me!" Claire replied calmly."Pretending? When did I ever pretend?""All of this today is your doing, isn't it? You know I don't have the money to pay off these shareholders, so yo

    YOU WANT TO CALL OFF OUR ENGAGEMENT?After Brentley left the conference room, he walked straight to the corner of the hallway and took out his phone to call Mr. Griffin."Ring... Ring..."The phone rang for a long time before he finally picked up."Yes, Mr. Carter, what can I do for you?" Griffin asked softly."I need you to invest in a company for me, One Billion dollars!" Brentley said, his face expressionless."Sure, just give me the name of the company, and I'll have my team handle it," Griffin replied quickly."No, this can't be done by your team. I need you to come over right now. I'm at Opal Cosmetics Ltd. This company belongs to my fiancee, Claire. I'm worried she might suspect my identity, so I need you to personally discuss the investment with her," Brentley said rapidly."Uh..." Griffin hesitated for a moment after hearing this, his tone seemed a bit troubled."Is there a problem?" Brentley asked quickly."Mr. Carter, the thing is, I'm currently on a business trip a

    SEE YOU TOMORROW!Originally, Claire was forced to become Brentley's fiancee because of issues with her father's company. Although she had once set some ground rules with Brentley, stating that they would only be a couple in name and lead separate lives, Claire never intended to actually live a double life. She couldn't imagine having a husband in name while being with someone else behind his back. So, she had been trying to get to know Brentley better and slowly accept him.Over the past few days, Claire had come to realize that apart from being poor, Brentley didn't have any major flaws. That's why she had called him to her company today to get their marriage license. Her plan was to have Brentley move into her house after they got the license. Although she couldn't accept sharing a bed with him right away, she thought they could live in separate rooms and get to know each other better. Maybe, over time, she would genuinely accept him.But Claire never expe

    FATHER AND DAUGHTER CONVERSATION!In the conference room.Claire quickly walked up to Brentley, grabbed the contract and shouted at him with a puzzled expression, "Brentley, do you even know what signing this contract today means?""Of course I know what it means. I'll bring the investors over by noon tomorrow, don't worry," Brentley replied calmly."Big brother, how can you be so sure you'll bring them here tomorrow? And even if you do, will they really invest in my company?" Claire's eyes were wide with emotion as she shouted."Yeah, why are you dragging my sister into this if you want to ruin yourself?" Erica pouted at Brentley."If I can't find someone to invest in your company by tomorrow, I'll call off our engagement. And I'll take care of the severance pay myself, so it won't affect you," Brentley said to Claire with an unusually calm tone."Brentley, you..."Claire opened her mouth to speak, but Brentley had no intention of staying. He turned and walked out of the confe

    CLAIRE HARRI'S DECISION!The next morning at eight.After a whole night of inner turmoil, Claire finally made her decision.Claire felt that Greg's words made sense. Marrying Brentley or Ralap would both mean marriage, so why not maximize the benefits of this union?The Wallace Family, where Ralap belonged, was a well-known wealthy family in Sunshire City, with assets worth billions. If she married Ralap, not only would it solve all her current problems, but it would also ensure that the Harris Family would be well taken care of in the future.On the other hand, marrying Brentley would only solve the immediate issues with his father's company. Their future life together would likely require Claire to handle many problems on her own.So, when it came to choosing between the two, even a fool would know which option to pick.A moment later, Claire stepped out of her bedroom wearing a long white dress. Her already tall and slender figure looked even more elegant and allur

He never expected Brentley to actually show up today.Claire also looked at Brentley with a surprised expression. She had already given up hope, thinking Brentley wouldn't come today. She was ready to agree with Ralap to cancel her engagement with Brentley!But just at that moment, Brentley walked in."You want to cancel our engagement? Don't you think you need my consent first?" Brentley asked calmly as he walked up to Claire."Brentley..."Claire looked at him with wide eyes, her emotions a mix of confusion and relief, unsure how to respond."Brentley, how dare you show your face here? Didn't you promise to find an investor for my sister's company yesterday? Where's the investor now?" Erica shouted, pointing a finger at Brentley

    BREAKING INTO THE GIRLS' DORM!Brentley stared at the video on his phone, his expression one of utter disbelief.

Otherwise, Claire might continue to misunderstand."Brentley?"Just as Brentley stepped out of his room, he saw Phoebe coming out of the elevator with takeout in her hand."What a coincidence! Did you just get back?"Brentley glanced at Phoebe and replied softly. Today, Phoebe was dressed particularly attractively. She wore a tight crop top that revealed her slender waist and black denim shorts that showed off her long, fair legs. On her feet were cute pink slippers, making her look both adorable and a bit sexy.In Brentley's mind, Phoebe always seemed to prefer wearing shorts. Unless she was at home relaxing, she was almost always in shorts or a short skirt. It

They aren't real at all..."Brentley never expected things to turn out this way. Just as he and Claire were about to leave, she saw these photos. When Claire had called him to say she wascoming to Sunshire City University, he hadn't thought about the photos. Now, they were all over the school and he regretted letting her come."Brentley, I can't believe you're this kind of person.

Brentley asked, his tone a bit nervous."Why? Can't I call you without a reason?" Claire replied with a cheerful smile in her voice. Brentley was taken aback by Claire's response. A strange look flashed in hiseyes because he thought if Claire had seen those photos, she wouldn't be speaking to him like this."No, it's just that you don't usually call me," Brentley quickly replied."Didn't we agree to get our marriage certificate today? Where are you now? I'llcome pick you up," Claire said slowly.Brentley couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. As long as Clairehadn't seen those photos, everything was fine."I'm at school right now!"Brentley whispered, "Do you have time this morning? If not, I can come find you this afternoon."Cla

Brentley asked through gritted teeth, glaring at Graham."I found them on the school bulletin board this morning. They were also in every classroom. Tyree and I have been collecting them all morning, but we've onlymanaged to gather a few. Most of them have already been taken by others," Grahamsaid, looking helplessly at Brentley."Who the heck did this?"

He frowned and asked, "Do you know me?""Of course, I don't know you!" the girl replied nonchalantly."Then why do you want me to get in and take you home?" Brentley asked, his confusion deepening."I had a bit to drink at the bar earlier. I'm worried there might be a DUIcheckpoint ahead, so I need you to drive me home. I'll pay you..." the girl responded softly after a moment."Oh, I see," Brentley nodded slightly, his face expressionless. "Well, youshould call a driver service. I'm heading home myself.""If I could find a driver, why would I ask you? Besides, my place isn't that farfrom here. I'll give you five hundred dollars, okay?"
