2024-10-29 19:42:56"Oh my God, I can't believe this." Claire ended the call with trembling hands. What she just heard was like a nightmare for her. The businessmen beside Claire exchanged glances. Those who originally wanted to cooperate with Claire's company were now hesitant.
"Mrs. Claire, it seems I have business at this time. My business partner is here and wants to discuss something serious with me, I have to go," said Noah.
"Me too, I have important things to do now," said David.
The two men immediately left from there avoiding Claire. They knew that without the cooperation of Jens Creative Enterprise, Claire's company was on the verge of bankruptcy. There would be no benefit from them cooperating with her company.
Claire sighed frantically. She was speechless, and she let the two businessmen leave in front of her just like that. She looked at the two of them with a bleary look. In just a few minutes, Claire's happiness turned to sadness.
"Claire, are you all right?" asked Edward who was still standing there.
Claire's eyes lit up at Edward. "Edward, this is out of my control. Suddenly, everything just happened. I feel like I've never done anything wrong, but why are they doing this?" she complained.
"Calm yourself for a second," Edward responded while stroking Claire's shoulder.
"Oh yes Edward, you said earlier that you know the CEO of Jens Creative Enterprise. I beg Edward, please help me. Please do whatever it takes for him to consider this decision," Claire pleaded, cupping her hands pleadingly.
Edward averted his eyes from Claire, he closed his eyes in confusion. 'Gosh, what should I do now? Does she think I really know about the CEO of that company?' thought Edward.
He looked back at Claire and smiled at her. "Yes, I know him. Don't worry, I will help you." A fake reassuring smile from Edward eased Claire's feelings a bit.
Edward, who actually lied and said he knew the CEO of Jens Creative Enterprise, tried to find a way. He thought of calling his father, who was one of the top businessmen in town.
"Thank you, Edward! I believe that you can help me," said Claire.
"Let me go for a moment to call my father, I will talk to him about the CEO of this company," Edward begged.
"All right, good luck!"
Edward went away from Claire to contact his father—Wilhelm Lackner. He looked around to make sure no one he knew could hear his conversation. After the situation was safe, he immediately contacted his father.
"Edward, what's the matter? Aren't you at a party?" asked Wilhelm who was surprised to get a call from his son.
"Yes, daddy. I'm actually at a party right now. I want to ask you about something quite important," said Edward.
"What's important?"
"Do you know about the CEO of Jens Creative Enterprise?" he asked.
"Why are you asking about him? Did you make any trouble with that company?" Wilhelm's tone was agitated.
"No, Daddy. I didn't have any trouble with that company. I just want to know who the CEO of that company is. You must know about him, right? I want to talk to him," Edward said.
Wilhelm clicked his tongue. "Are you out of your mind? The CEO of that company is very mysterious so it’s hard to find information about him. Don't ever try to get into trouble with him! He has power far above us, our company is not comparable to his company!" Wilhelm explained in a high tone.
Edward let out a low breath. Instead of getting information about who the CEO was, he instead got anger from his father.
Edward, who was annoyed, immediately ended the call unilaterally. "Unlucky! This is so hard!"
Edward returned to meet Claire who was waiting for him with great hope. Seeing Edward's arrival, Claire immediately grabbed the man's hand."Edward, so how was it?" she asked.
"Everything is alright. Your company will be safe, don't worry," said Edward with a smile.
Claire looked at Edward with emotion. "Thank you very much, Edward. I don't know what would have happened to my company without you. What should I do to repay your kindness?""You don't need to do anything, I'm helping you sincerely. We are business partners, and I just want to make you happy," said Edward while gently stroking Claire's face, which made the woman blush with Edward's sweet treatment.
"Edward, you are very kind." Claire felt that the attention Edward gave her was more than of a business partner.
"You can talk to me if you need help, I will always help you," Edward replied. Claire felt more and more immersed in the man, especially because she thought Edward was a real man who could be relied on.
Edward smirked. Previously, he had been fascinated by Claire's beauty and her success. He planned to marry her so that Claire's company could fall into his hands. However, seeing the state of Claire's company, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, of course Edward would not do that. He was better off choosing another honorable woman who was more beneficial to him.
'Claire is so beautiful, I'm not going to marry her, but at least I'll spend my time with her tonight,' Edward decided to himself.
Claire's feelings began to calm down. She really enjoyed the party with Edward. Suddenly, she put her drink glass on the table.
"Claire, are you all right?" he asked.
"Yes, I'm okay. I just want to go to the toilet for a moment." Then Claire immediately walked away from there.
Edward stared at Claire's departure then his gaze turned to Claire's glass that was on the table. He took out some powder from his pocket.
"It's lucky I brought this," Edward said with a sly smile. He immediately mixed the drug powder into Claire's drink. "Claire, tonight you will be mine! We will have the best night ever!"
Without Edward noticing, a waiter was watching his action. "What is he doing? What did he mix in that drink? It's Mrs. Claire's drink. I have to tell the butler!" The waiter who saw suspicious signs immediately rushed to meet the butler.

He averted his eyes from the piece of paper he was reading. "Is there something wrong?" he responded."I saw a man who mixed a powder into Mrs. Claire's drink when she went to the toilet.

This hotel belonged to the Jensen family, but after Leon was kicked out and put on probation, the man had not set foot in it in a long time.Unlike the arrival of other members of the Jensen family, Leon's arrival did not make the hotel employee's heart beat in the slightest. They thought that Leon was just an ordinary person."Hopefully he hasn't brought Claire into the room," Leon muttered as he ran. He rushed to the reception desk and saw a man there with Claire, who was unconscious. It was even seen that Edward embraced Claire in his arms.Without hesitation, Leon immediately landed a punch on Edward's face, causing the man to fall to the floor. "How dare you touch her!" he shouted.Claire fell into Leon's arms. The man looked at his ex-wife with concern. He took Claire to sit on the sofa near the reception. "Claire, wake up! Clare!"

He stopped in his tracks and turned to Claire's parents. "I have explained what really happened, but you will never want to believe it because from the start you have hated me," he replied."Because we know a loser like you will never admit a mistake." Ariana took out her phone. "I will call the police now.""No, Ariana! Don’t do it! If you call the police, it will only damage our family's reputation.

The next day, on a cold and calm morning, suddenly Leon's cell phone rings, disrupting his peaceful sleep. Leon's eyes opened slightly, and he glanced at the table beside his bed.

I told her she could call the police if she wanted!" grunted Leon, who was sure that the person calling him was Claire.Leon grabbed his cellphone, and without looking at the screen, he immediately accepted the call."Claire, what is it?""Excuse me, Leon?" The baritone voice immediately made Leon's eyes widen. It wasn't Claire who called him, but the manager of the restaurant where he worked part time."Sir, sorry, I thought you were the other person," Leon explained."Leon, did you just wake up?"Leon nodded slowly even though the person calling him couldn't see his movements directly. "Yes sir.""Don't you remember what day it is today?""Day... oh, Saturday!" Leon rubbed his face roughly. "Yes, today is Saturday." Leon forgot he had to work o

Bella fell silent. She stared at Leon with an unreadable gaze. Meanwhile, Edward smiled with satisfaction at seeing Leon, whom he humiliated again. For Edward, he only spoke facts about Leon. He never felt guilty about it."All right, what would you like to order?" Leon asked. He decided to divert the tense atmosphere in the room by refocusing on what he was doing."I'd like a salmon en papilotte, and give me some unsweetened watermelon juice," Bella ordered."Give me the most expensive food and drink in this book," Edward ordered arrogantly.Leon sighed. "Is there anything else?""I think no," Bella responded."Okay." Leon immediately left from there.Today was the worst weekend for Leon. While working here, he had never experienced something annoying like this. "He really went too far. Just wait until the time comes, and I will reveal what he has done!"

"Leon, we hold you responsible for everything you've done," said the restaurant manager in his room. The restaurant manager asked Leon to come into his room and handed the man a letter of compensation agreement. Leon read the agreement letter at a glance and immediately signed it. "So what do you choose? Will you work here for a full year without pay or make up for all losses with money?" asked the restaurant manager. He could already guess that a poor man like Leon would prefer to work for a year without a salary rather than having to compensate with money. Of course, he was sure that Leon could not possibly have that kind of money. "I will make up for the loss with money. This is my last day working here," Leon answered. The restaurant manager chuckled at Leon's answer. "You must be kidding. Leon, that's 70,000 dollars. Where did you get that kind of money?" The response was mocking. "I'm not kidding, I'm serious! I can replace all losses with money," said Leon with a serious ex

"Sorry, our Young Master can't meet you," said the receptionist.Claire's shoulders dropped along with her exhaled breath. Claire's eyes were sparkling. This rejection was so painful for her. "Is he really not willing to give me a chance? The termination of this partnership was so sudden, I don't even know what my company's fault was.""Sorry, Mrs. Young Master's decision is absolute," said the receptionist."Thank You."Claire stepped away from there with great disappointment. She really didn't know what to do there. She walked to the parking lot with a blank stare. Claire's tears spilled out when she got there. The woman sat down in despair, crying."What should I do?

It seemed like they wanted to move, considering the large suitcases they were moving into the car.“Jane, this way!” Leon grabbed Jane's hand and asked her to go through the back lane of the house because they didn't want Elena's parents to see them coming.“Hurry Renee!

He was about to leave there, but Finley held him back.“Wait, Dean! Don't go!"“What, Uncle? I don't want to know anyone now. I just want to focus on my company," said Dean in an annoyed tone.“But this is a great opportunity.

“Why do you want to move there?” Finley responded.“I want to spend the rest of my life there. I don't feel happy being here.

"Rexa, what happened? What makes you feel unhappy?”“There are many things, including my marriage. I don't feel happy with Juliet. I don't want to hurt her any more; that's why I will move to America without her," said Finley.“But if you move there without inviting her, she will definitely be very sad. You don't want to make her even sadder, do you?"Rexa shook her head."Therefore, if you want to move there, then you have to invite her.

All the employees were shocked to see Finley's arrogant attitude.
