Olivia woke up during the night, but she didn't see Claude beside her. "Where's Claude?" Olivia muttered as she looked around her room. But she didn't see Claude there.Olivia woke up because she felt her throat was dry and wanted to drink. Olivia's gaze fell on the nightstand, and saw a glass there. She quickly gulped down the drink until half, then walked to look for Claude's whereabouts.Olivia walked towards the toilet but realized the door was not locked. So she was sure that Claude was not there. "Did he go out? I don't think so." Olivia muttered. She was sure Claude hadn't left because his cell phone was still on the nightstand. And Olivia knew very well that Claude wouldn't leave without his cell phone.Olivia's gaze was now fixed on the open balcony door. "Is he on the veranda at this time of night?" Olivia glanced at the clock, which showed midnight and early morning. Olivia walked over and approached the slightly open door without saying much.Sure enough, Olivia saw Claude
Olivia was currently looking at her face in the mirror. She was paying attention to her appearance, which looked very neat, until Olivia grabbed her white bag that matched her clothes.Olivia was about to leave her room to go to work, but Olivia's eyes fell on Claude, who was still asleep. Her lips, polished with red colouring, now smiled, and her heart became happy as she remembered last night. They spent time together on the veranda, and it looked very romantic.Olivia deliberately did not wake him up. She knew Claude might still feel sleepy because he only slept for two hours. But when Olivia was about to open the door, Claude heard her, and he immediately woke up from his sleep."Olivia. Are you leaving already? Apparently, I woke up late." Claude immediately got up and rubbed his face to relieve his sleepiness.Olivia turned around and saw Claude, who had stood up. "Claude, I'm sorry for disturbing your sleep. I'll be leaving soon and it doesn't matter if you go back to sleep." O
Several people gathered to stare at the commotion that was currently happening. Even after the woman insulted Anne, everyone seemed to be looking down at her."Look, this watch is very expensive but because of you, mine got damaged and I want you to replace it." The woman named Jessy still insisted on demanding it from Anne. She didn't want to let Anne off the hook at all. She picked up the watch and showed it to Anne. "Why are you still blaming me for your stupidity? You're the one who walked and bumped into me, so of course, I'll never replace it." Anne grumbled. She indeed refused to take responsibility. "You should apologize immediately and get out of my way. You've interrupted my fun." Anne gave an affirmation and kicked Jessy out of her presence. Of course, Jessy refused, and she still wanted to hold Anne responsible.Jessy was the woman who owned one of the luxury watch shops in the mall. And the watch that had just fallen had a costly price so she was very angry with Anne. Me
"How dare you say you want to take this to the law. Do you think you'll be able to do it?" Jessy smiled bitterly at Claude. She even laughed at Claude, who she felt was overconfident."Even before you do that, I'll take you to jail first. You have not only harmed me, but have dared to threaten me. You people have no shame." Jessy cursed him. Her gaze went up and down, looking at Claude with a frivolous look.Looking at Claude, Jessy was even more convinced they were from the lower class. Especially when Claude was only wearing a straightforward T-shirt. Then Jessy's gaze turned to her husband. "I think we need to call a lawyer so they can realize their mistake if they've been looking for the wrong enemy."Derry nodded his head. The man looked furious with Claude's actions. Derry felt that Claude was too confident that he could defeat them. "Of course I'll contact our lawyer right away. In fact, I will make sure that these two people will get a very severe punishment and they will neve
Anne widened her eyes, her body instantly trembling after hearing the lawyer's threat. She felt terrified. "How is this? What should I do?" Anne muttered while biting her fingernails. Her eyes twitched, trying to find a way out."I'm so scared. What if they really manage to shut me up? I certainly won't have my freedom anymore." Occasionally, Anne closed her eyes to think. She was thinking hard but couldn't find a way out. Anne's gaze was set to glance at Claude, but she rolled her eyes because there was nothing to expect from her son-in-law. "He really is a useless son-in-law. Even in a difficult situation like this, he's completely unreliable." Anne tapped her forehead repeatedly.This time, Anne gave Claude a fierce look. She wanted to throw a tantrum at Claude. "He really is a stupid man. If only he hadn't mentioned the law, maybe I wouldn't be in such a difficult situation. It doesn't matter if he's the only one going to jail, but all the accusations are pointing at me." Anne mut
Occasionally, Claude looks at the clock in his left hand. He was waiting for his lawyer to arrive. Shortly, he finally saw a man walking with hurried steps. Claude smiled faintly as he saw Allan's arrival there."I'm sorry I'm a little late, sir." Allan saluted Claude.Anne looked at Allan with a frivolous look. She didn't know who Allan really was, and Anne was sure that Allan was an ordinary lawyer who couldn't possibly be as reliable as Claude. Even there, Anne immediately averted her eyes from Claude and the newly arrived lawyer because she didn't want them to laugh at her again after seeing the man Claude had invited."Sir, tell me what happened?" Allan again spoke very politely. But Claude immediately directed his gaze to the three people behind Allan.Allan immediately understood. He turned his body to see who had dared to make trouble with Claude.At first, Jossy underestimated the man who had just arrived. In fact, Jossy was sure that Claude and that woman would only invite c
Claude's words shocked everyone who was there. Their eyes were very sharp when looking at Claude. This even made Jessy and Derry very scared. They had thought that they would be accessible immediately after saying an apology to Claude and Anne, but in fact, they were still faced with a big problem.Meanwhile, Allan nodded in agreement with Claude's words. The man was still looking down at Claude when he spoke again. "Sir, this is the best decision. And I feel that this is what we should do. They should be punished for what they have done to your family." Allan spoke respectfully and did not dare to make eye contact with Claude. "Those who are wrong should be punished accordingly. This will deter them." Allan spoke again.Allan indeed agreed to Claude's request, especially when the one who ordered him was a big man. Even Allan knew when Bruce called Claude master, which made it clear that Claude was much bigger than Claude. Allan will do this task very well and do the job as ordered by
Anne sighed harshly and reached for the drink in front of her. Anne gulped down the drink she had ordered, and then her gaze fell on Claude again.Anne's gaze became sharp again after hearing Claude's words about her friend's age. She glanced at him sarcastically and then moved her body away from Claude. "You should have friends who are younger than you." Anne was very upset about that. She had just imagined many things if she had a rich son-in-law. But the fact that Claude gave an answer instantly disappeared the images in her brain.Anne took a few sheets from her bag and put them on the table. Then she got up and looked back at Claude. "Let's go and get all the groceries." Anne again spoke harshly and treated Claude poorly.They finally reached home, but Anne was still annoyed with Claude's friend. "Next time, find a friend who is rich and has a young age, so that I can set him up with Olivia." Anne said that without caring about Claude's heart. She even hoped that Claude would agr
