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
Anne immediately rounded her eyes after hearing the question from the waiter. "Are you kidding me? Check it once more and make sure you've checked it properly. There's no way Claude would have bought this car." Anne tried to brush it off, thinking it was a mistake, but the maid shook her head. "Madam, this is correct. This car was sent not in Olivia's name but for Mr. Claude." The waiter gave the same explanation. Then the man showed the proof of delivery, which Anne immediately responded to. Apparently, it was true. It was written in Claude's name. It was doubtful that Claude bought the luxury car. Even Anne is sure that Claude will not be able to buy a used car. So how could there be a car sent in his name? Then suddenly Anne thought about her daughter. "Did Olivia buy it for Claude?" Anne muttered, and she immediately believed it. Her gaze became so sharp that she crumpled the paper the waiter had just given her. "She refused to be introduced to a rich man, but she has spent
Olivia was still frowning. She didn't know what her mother meant by pointing at the car keys and saying it was her car. "What are you saying? Are you kidding?" Olivia's gaze fell on Claude, but she only saw Claude, who was silent. Olivia scratched her itchy head, and then her gaze fell on the yard's black car. "Why are you saying that it's my car? I don't even know whose car it is, and I don't know anything about it." Olivia looked back at her mother. Anne also frowned. It was strange to hear Olivia's answer that she knew nothing about the car. It was true that Olivia's face looked confused, but Anne still believed that Olivia had bought the car. Especially when no one else was in the house with money but Olivia.Anne smiled, and the old woman walked over to Olivia. "I think you're the one who's joking right now. Did you buy this car on purpose to surprise me? Anne asked hopefully. She looked at Olivia closely and hoped that her favorite child would nod her head. But apparently, An
They were now in the room. Olivia sat on the bed with a blank look in her eyes. Actually, she was still thinking about what happened, and she also felt uncomfortable with her husband and her mother's actions. Olivia thought that her mother had gone too far. In fact, not even once did her mother accept the truth from Olivia. Meanwhile, Claude took a drink and gave it to Olivia. "Drink up and don't think about anything heavy." As if understanding what was in Olivia's mind now. Olivia looked up and looked at Claude. She accepted the water and took a sip, after which Claude sat next to Olivia's body. Olivia was still holding the glass with a blank look. Afterward, she looked back at Claude. To be honest, Olivia here was still perplexed about the car. Especially when she had yet to get an answer from Claude. Both of Olivia's eyes were directed at the man who was now sitting beside her. Claude looked at her gently, and Olivia nobly asked, "Claude, can you tell me what really happened? I
Anne had just opened her eyes. She was still very sleepy, but the sunlight coming in from the crack in the window opened her eyes into a glare that forced her to wake up. Anne stretched her body and pushed her stiff muscles. Afterward, she pulled back the covers and got out of bed."Apparently, it's very bright, but I'm still very sleepy," Anne complained and rubbed her eyes, hoping the sleepiness would disappear. She would always do that every morning. In fact, Anne was a lazy woman who would never want to do anything but pleasure herself. Anne's gaze now rested on a small object on the nightstand. Anne had almost forgotten about it. She rushed over and grabbed the car keys that Claude had taken from her yesterday. "I almost forgot I had a fancy car today. I guess I should get ready soon." Anne put the car keys back and went into the restroom. Before long, she had returned to get ready. Anne was ready. She went straight out of the room to have her breakfast. Her face was excited,
