Claude was still sitting and watching them quietly. He could see the confused faces of Lewis and his friends. Finally, Claude got up from his seat. He stood up with his hands in his pockets.Meanwhile, Lewis and Tony were facing each other. They ignored the pain in their heads and frowned. They wondered about why his father hit him."You embarrassed me so much." Van couldn't contain his anger until he hit Lewis and Tony on the head again."This dad is so sick. Why did you hit us again?" Lewis rubbed the part of his head that hurt the most. His vision became a little blurry because of his father's beating and also because Lewis had drunk so much beer. But soon, he shook his head and looked back at his father's face."Uncle shouldn't have hit us. Someone has been trying to cause trouble with us, so we called uncle to come." Tony spoke with his eyes fixed on Claude. He wondered if Claude would feel scared until he said again. "Uncle, someone doesn't know you have great power. Tell us wha
Lewis was instantly shocked. He immediately lowered his head, still looking up at his father. Those two round eyes stared at Claude's feet. His hands were shaking, and he almost couldn't support himself because his whole body was shaking.Lewis recalled the words he had just said to Claude about how arrogant he was, saying that he would never apologize to Claude even if Claude would prostrate himself at his feet. And now the tables were turned. It wasn't Claude who sat down and knelt down. But Lewis was now dropping tears to wet Claude's feet."You should have used your wits. You don't even know who you're dealing with." The words came from his father's lips.The word regret seemed to be unspeakable. Of course, Lewis had heard about the great and powerful man who owned most of the harbor. Lewis heard it in his father's study. He also knew that his father had become a great man because there was a great man behind him.Lewis regretted all the things he had said harshly to Claude. Even
Claude drove home as soon as he finished his business at the restaurant. But as his car entered the yard, Claude's eyes narrowed when he saw a familiar black car.Claude immediately got out of his car and looked back at the black car again, but when he confirmed it, Claude let out a small breath. Claude knew the metallic black car belonged to Camila, who was not Olivia's cousin."What did she come here for?" Claude muttered. In his little heart, he immediately knew he would soon get into trouble again because of that man. Camila was actually two years younger than Olivia. And Claude knew that Camila admired Olivia, so the woman didn't like it when Claude married Olivia.Currently, her feet stepped wide into the house. Sure enough, two adults were already sitting in the living room. At first, their faces showed excitement. But upon seeing Claude, who had arrived, they immediately faded their laughter.It was Camila who smiled bitterly at Claude's arrival. The man even examined Claude's
Claude gave Camila a sharp glance. The man seemed to smile when Claude walked closer, he also seemed to raise one eyebrow when they were no longer a meter apart.Claude gave her a glare for a few seconds. "Stop your nonsense and stop interfering in my affairs." Claude exhaled a harsh breath that Camila could feel as it warmed her face. Then he spoke again in a firm voice. "Better yet, mind your own business."Neither Claude's glare nor his stern voice scared Camila. She even applauded Claude's boldness. Camila's gaze was on Anne, who was still beside her. "Auntie, I think your unemployed son-in-law is very extraordinary. He told me proudly not to interfere in his problems. Does she think Olivia hasn't been depressed all her life?"The gaze then shifted from Anne and settled on Claude. Camila also moved one forefinger and placed it on Claude's chest. "You should know that Olivia never lived a happy life with you. If she survived, it was only because she felt sorry for a useless man lik
The next day, Claude was ready in the morning. He stood in front of the mirror and was dressed neatly. Claude's neat appearance raised questions that made Olivia frown. "Are you leaving?" Olivia asked.She noticed Claude's perfect appearance. He wore a black shirt and a watch on his left hand that enhanced his appearance. "Do you have any business outside?" The question was again asked by Olivia.Claude looked at Olivia's face from the mirror's reflection, then turned his body until they faced each other. "Yes, I have a little business outside." Claude replied briefly, and put on his flat face. "Are you ready too?" Claude asked Olivia.Olivia nodded. She also looked well-groomed with her formal suit and long hair that was left loose. Olivia grabbed the white bag on the dressing table and looked back at Claude. "We'd better go together. Before that, we'll have breakfast first." Claude agreed.At this moment, Claude and Olivia walked side by side out of the room. From the side, Claude s
The waiter immediately served the food ordered by Olivia. "Enjoy, please excuse me." After that, the waiter left them."Claude, I hope you've forgotten what happened earlier. I know this is going to hurt your heart a lot. I'll talk to my mom about this later." Olivia put on her sad face again. She didn't even dare to look at Claude's face again.Claude took Olivia's hand and regarded it. "I hope that you will forget this incident." Claude spoke softly, and it made Olivia's heart warm. Olivia didn't understand why her mother couldn't just appreciate Claude. His mother should have known that Claude was a good man.But right now, Olivia breathed a sigh of relief, after which she nodded to Claude and began to enjoy the food served. They seemed to be enjoying their meal without any interruption.There was no more conversation between Olivia and Claude when they were busy enjoying the food. But without Claude knowing, Olivia secretly stole a glance at his face.After fifteen minutes, they f
The smile on his face instantly faded, and Claude was amazed when the money he was holding was grabbed by someone from behind. He quickly looked back to see a grinning man holding several bills."This will be mine." The man laughed loudly. Even now, he looked at Claude sharply and showed his creepy face.The man was dressed so messily he looked like a thug, and Claude recognized him very well. And his name was Frank.Claude looked at him with cold eyes. He got up from his seat and pushed aside the chair beside him until Claude spoke when they faced each other. "Return the money to me." Claude said with a cold voice and deep eyes. But the man just sneered at Claude.Frank shook his head. He smoothed the hair that was slightly covering his face, and after that, he wagged a finger at Claude. "I told you that this will be mine and you won't be able to take it back." Frank shook his head again, making his long hair and dreadlocks messy and covering part of his face again.Claude sighed. Of
Frank was still staring at Claude with a sharp look. His breath was rising and falling as if he wanted to immediately get his revenge on Claude, who had dared to attack and take back his money. Meanwhile, Claude was still talking to someone on the phone.Claude's gaze stared straight ahead and ignored Frank, who was now starting to make a move and wanted to attack Claude again."Come here quickly." After saying that, Claude turned off the phone. At the same time Claude was about to put his cell phone back, he was attacked again by Frank, but swiftly, Claude managed to hold Frank's hand before the dirty hand touched the skin of his face."I warned you to apologize for what you said about my wife, but you ignored it." Claude spoke very coldly. Meanwhile, Frank began to grimace in pain as Claude twisted his hand again."Let go of my hand stupid man, you almost broke my hand, it hurts like hell." Frank couldn't pretend anymore, while one hand tried to release Claude's hand which continued
