Chapter 36 Shock, Claire is Smart
Chapter 36 Shock, Claire is Smart
Claire goes upstairs still in shock and decides how to find the evidence, only to look up and see Brynn standing on the stairs looking at her.
Brynn’s face is as if she’s watching a farce.
Claire takes a deep breath, represses the anger in her heart, and gives Brynn a cold glance, intending to leave.
Brynn stops Claire’s step and says with a light smile, “Claire, what is the matter with you? I really don’t expect you to be such a person ah.
You were so angry with me that day; I think it was a fake.
I’ll see what you do with your lie.” Claire glares at Brynn.
“Brynn, I never find you are so cruel!” Brynn laughs, pleased, but she still presents to looks puzzled.
“Claire, what are you talking about? I don’t understand anything.
Do you want to smear me when your own affairs are discovered?” Claire ignores her and strides off, but Brynn says, “But I’m looking forward to hearing from you in three days!” Claire is taken aback and leaves without looking back.
Brynn, gritting her teeth and somewhat concerned, returns to her room, and quickly takes out her cell phone and sends a message to the man who took the photo that day to ask him to be careful these days.
After getting the man’s reply, Brynn is relieved.
But it doesn’t occur to Brynn that on the first day of the three-day period, Claire seems remarkably relaxed, eating and drinking as if nothing has happened.
Leo ignores Claire and asks no questions, which makes Brynn restless.
The next day, early in the morning, after breakfast, Leo drives to the company.
Brynn, looking at Claire with a calm face, says, “Hey, this is the first day.
Why are you so calm, Claire? Are you going to give up?” Ignoring Brynn, Claire is going back to her room.
At this moment, a maid runs into the room from the door in a hurry, she says loudly, “Help! Help!” Claire and Brynn are stunned, and before they could ask what is going on, they hear the maid continue to shout, “There is someone making trouble at the door!” No sooner has she spoken than the rioters at the door burst into the parlour.
“Everybody gets out of here!” The man is dressed casually in black, with his hat pressed low over his face.
“Come out, all of you! Get that bastard Leo meets me now!” Claire steps forward, frowning, and asks, “What are you trying to do? Leo is not here.
You should look for him at his company.
What are you yelling about here?” Then Brynn comes along.
After looking at Claire and Brynn, the men look at each other as if to confirm which one is more useful.
At this moment, one of them begins to scold, “If we can find him, can we come here? Don’t talk any more, today you have to give us a reason, or we will all die together!” After that, the man shows his
explosives, which scare Claire and Brynn.
After several inquiries, Claire learns that their company is destroyed by Leo, so they come here for revenge.
Claire is furious and shouts at these people, “You should go to talk with Leo or get out!” “This is Leo’s wife.
If you want revenge, just revenge on her.
I am innocent.” says Brynn, who shrinks into the room in fear.
Claire is stunned.
And she is so angry, hard to calm down.
The men over there hear Brynn’s words and immediately come to get Claire.
Claire, frowning, points at Brynn and says, “You’d better grab her.
She is the new favorite fancy woman of Leo Howard.
Don’t you see she is occupying the house now? She is much more useful than me!” “Claire!” Brynn is so angry that she could not speak any words.
She doesn’t expect Claire to say that to these guys.
“Claire, what is in it for you? You don’t like Leo, so why don’t you let Leo marry me? Now, however, you are Mrs.
Howard.
And these people are looking for Mr.
Howard.
You, as Mrs.
Howard, should stand out, right?” Brynn says.
Claire squints her eyes and looks at Brynn, who has successfully shown how brazen she is these days.
Claire sneers, “Brynn, did not you say you loved Leo so much that you wanted to give him everything you had? Now they are all coming. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Where are you going? Why retreat into the room? All that love you said is fake.” “You...” Brynn’s face turns red with anger.
Because Leo is not here, she has no scruples and swears at Claire.
Claire ignores her.
She turns her head to look at the men over there, and says with a sneer, “I want you guys to think carefully about what you’re doing.” The men wonder why she said that, not understanding what Claire meant.
Claire explains, “Leo is a genius in business world.
He has supreme authority and status.
If you think about it, Leo can destroy your company, and he can chase you wherever you hide.” The men are silent.
It is the first time for them to do such a thing, but they has to admit that what she said is true.
After thinking about it, they ask, “What should we do then? If you can’t give reasonable suggestion, then we’ll kill you and bury you with us!” Claire frowns and says, “I suggest you let me go.
Leo probably will not make trouble with you if you don’t kill me.
But if you had killed me, as I’m still Leo’s wife, and you know how Leo would retaliate? Do you think you have any chance of survival?” When they hear this, they agree with her.
After some discussion, they say, “But our company was destroyed by Leo.
What do you think we should do?” Claire gnashes her teeth and says, “That’s because you have no ability! That’s just the business.
If you are a man, you must do it again, or don’t cry and complain here! Threatening women is a shame.” The men are frightened by Claire’s presence.
One of them, after a long silence, suddenly says to Claire, “Do you think we will succeed again?” “Whether you succeed or not, I don’t know, but just because of your current reaction, a little frustration will make you give up, it is certainly not possible to do anything! You, now, are nothing but cowards! Go back and think about how to start again!” The people are really convinced, after the silence, “Ok, we let you go, but, you have to promise us not to let Leo to revenge on us!” Claire agrees.
The men let go of Claire and Brynn, and then run away.
Just then Leo, who was in the corner, comes out and stares at Claire quietly, as if he were thinking about something.
“Claire...” Leo is surprised how calm and courageous this woman is.
Leo wants to help them, but when he saw Claire so smart like this, he stopped and looked at her quietly.
It is hard to express the shock in his heart.
