When Sean called out to Claire, her name sounded so charming and seductive However, when Xander called her name, all she felt was disgust.
Still, she hid her feelings well as she politely nodded to Xander.
Xander hurriedly leaned over and shuffled the chair next to the bed in a better position. “Please, sit.”
Claire walked over and sat down without protest.
Evelyn felt ecstatic upon seeing the two of them interact. They were truly a match made in heaven. Just who did Clarissa think she was to have the nerve to lust after Xander?
“Claire, Xander, I’ll leave you two to talk. I’m going down to the shops to buy some fruits.”
Baskets of fruit covered nearly every single surface of the ward. Why would Evelyn even need to buy more?
Claire did not expose Evelyn’s lie for what it was and merely smiled in response.
As the door clicked shut, Xander asked in a fawning manner, “What fruits do you like, Claire? I can peel something for you if you want.”
In Claire’s mind, she barely even knew Xander. As she did not wish to waste another moment on pleasantries, she bluntly asked, “Xander, do you know what your mom wants to see us married?”

Had their decade–long love vanished just like that?
Despite her pounding head, she patiently advised, “True love comes only once in a lifetime, Xander. Clarissa truly loves you. You need to hang onto her.”
“Why should I?”
Xander flew into a fit of rage upon hearing Clarissa’s name. His eyes were filled with scorn. “She kept saying she loved me, but the moment Mom kicked me out of the family, she immediately dumped me. She even told me to get lost. without giving me a single chance to convince her to stay with me. Now that I’m a Morgan again, she has come running back to me without hesitation. How could a woman like that ever be worthy?”
When Sean mentioned how Xander had been corrupted by bad company, he v referring to how Xander had grown into a useless layabout with no good character at all because of his relationship with Clarissa.
Claire finally understood why Sean ignored Xander when he was kneeling in front of the mansion. Sean had been giving Evelyn a way out of this while also teaching Xander a life lesson.
If children were constantly protected from the consequences of their actions, they would grow up entitled and unruly.
A bout of heavy rain and fainting was not only enough to punish Xander, but it also forced Xander to open his eyes to the truth while Evelyn still had a dignified way to change her mind.

Sean had killed three birds with one stone. The Vanderbilts really were a
devious lot.
However, Claire had no food. In this game, she wanted to be one of the
players, not a pawn.
“Fine.” It was impossible to tell what she felt about the situation from her facial expression. “Come over to my place for dinner once you’re discharged
from the hospital. I’ll be cooking.”
To Claire’s place?
An indescribable excitement flashed across Xander’s face. When Clarissa invited him over in the past, they would head to her room after dinner to
have a little fun in bed.
He did not expect Claire to be so open–minded and proactive.
Claire surely liked him. Perhaps she had fallen head over heels for him as
child
“No problem. I will be discharged soon enough,” he eagerly replied.
“Okay” Claire stood up. “I have to head home to get everything ready. Dinner starts at 6:00 pm in my place, so come over then.”
Xander had assumed she would object to having him over and choose to have him over during the day instead. He had not expected her to agree to invite him
over this easily
At that moment. Xander was even more certain that Claire liked him. Why eke

Under these circumstances, it was common to watch a movie after dinner. The
best choice would be a romance film so that the night would naturally progress until the deed was done.
Just two minutes after Claire walked out, Evelyn entered the room.
Xander flung the blanket off of him and enthusiastically cried out, “I want to be discharged right away, Mom!”
Evelyn was shocked. “The doctor said it is best for you to leave tomorrow.
What’s the rush?”
“Claire invited me over to her place for dinner. I must be discharged right
now.”
An invitation to dinner at Claire’s place?
Evelyn was once a young woman. Thus, she knew better than anyone just wha that invitation meant.
Ha.
It seemed she was right. Claire really would do anything just to get her hands back on her mother’s company.
“Very well. I’ll get the paperwork sorted right now. As for you, be smarter this time. Don’t ruin it again. Claire doesn’t only own 10% of Morgan Group now. She is also in charge of Solstice Industries. Once you marry her, your place in the family hierarchy…”

“I know!” Xander could not wait a moment longer. “Mom, stop talking already. I still need to shower and get myself ready.”
He was so very anxious. If only he had treated Claire like this from the very beginning. He would not have suffered so much then.
Evelyn gave a satisfied smile. “Very well. I’ll get to it right away.”
“Claire Donovan!”
Just as Claire walked out of the hospital, she heard Clarissa calling out to her through gritted teeth.
She had known Clarissa would never leave just like that. Frankly speaking,
Clarissa never failed to meet her expectations.
She turned around to look at Clarissa and put on a look of surprise. “You’re
still here, Clarissa.”
Her exclamation infuriated Clarissa so much that Clarissa’s beautiful face twisted into an ugly look. The humiliation she had suffered inside the hospital with Claire’s mocking gaze trained on her the entire time meant she felt a strong urge to immediately strangle Claire for being a schemer.
However, Clarissa could not win a fight against Claire.
That infuriated Clarissa even more.
“That is none of your business!”

Clarissa walked over to Claire and scanned her up and down. When she saw that Claire was as well put together as she was before with neat clothing and hair, she was filled with relief.
Thus, she scornfully gave Claire a sideways glance and haughtily asked, “What did you want with Xander?”
Claire frowned and sighed. “Evelyn has gone too far! She said she would only
support me as the chairman of Alpha Ventures if I marry Xander. I know of the love between you and Xander, Clarissa, so why would I ever want to marry a man who doesn’t love me?”
Clarissa did not like Evelyn in the first place. Thus, she was now cursing Evelyn out in her mind as she spat out through a clenched jaw, “Why did you
visit Xander then?”
Claire blinked in response. “Naturally, I came to ask for his opinion. If he adamantly refuses to marry me, Evelyn will not really force him to marry me, right?”
That was true. In the end, the crux of the matter was Xander himself.
“What did he say?” Clarissa impatiently asked.
Claire pursed her lips in a smile as she proudly replied, “He said he will marry me.”
What…!
Clarissa felt like the world was ending.
