After a long time...
Finally, Leo squeezes Claire’s jaw and says with a cold sneer, “Disgusting woman!”
Then, Leo Howard throws her off, puts on his clothes and turns away.
Claire tries not to cry until Leo Howard finally leaves, and she could not help but burst into tears.
She really doesn’t want to stay here anymore, Leo is just a monster, and if she keeps staying here, she
will be crazy sooner or later.
But Jade Patton would not let her go back the Bennett family... Claire feels very helpless.
Dad, dad, where are you... I miss you so much... Take me away, please come and take me away...
Thinking about her dad, Claire sobs softly, raises her hand to cover her mouth and tries not to make
any sound.
On the other side.
In the spacious living room of the Howard family, the lights shine brightly inside.
Leo Howard sits on the sofa with a sullen face and doesn’t speak, and the housemaid on the side feels
scary, not daring to breathe, and lowers her head to make no sound.
Claire Bennett, what a hypocrite!
Leo feels inexplicable anger at the thought of her, pulling his collar nervously.
Leo lights a cigar, then sees the envelope on the table before he could open it. So he takes it and
opens the envelope.
“There is only one back?”
Leo Howard frowns. The photo was taken from the monitor, but there is only one back.
Leo would not have recognized the little wild cat whose first sex he has owned, if the woman in that
picture was not wearing a slightly broken evening dress.
Turning that stack of photos open, he thinks he can see the appearance of the woman, but the photos
have only a back, and are still far away, difficult to distinguish the shape.
After several searches those photos, Leo Howard doesn’t find the face of his wild cat, so he simply
throws them away, pulling out his phone, flipping out Luke’s phone number and dialing it.
“Hello, Leo?” In a few moments, the phone is connected and Luke’s voice is heard on the other end.
“Are all those pictures you gave me just to brush me off?” Leo Howard says in anger and asks, “It’s just
the back. I cannot even see her face. What I want is the information about that woman!”
Luke chuckles. He did it deliberately. “That is all we can find so far, Leo. Don’t worry. I have already
sent someone out to pry into. We should have the information soon.”
“Are you sure?”
“Mm-hmm!” Luke answers immediately.
After receiving Luke’s positive answer, Leo Howard hangs up and leaves his phone on one side. He
sits on the sofa and leans back, rubs his temples.
That little wild cat, her body is so hot, he misses her very much, so he must find her!
Thinking that, he stretches his hand involuntarily to his pocket, and wants to take out that piece of
ancient jade. But Leo finds it’s empty inside and there is nothing in his pocket?
Damn, where is the cat’s jade?!
He can’t lose it!
...
When Claire gets up the next day, she feels her whole body ache to the point of weakness. She lifts her
head, tries to sit up straight, and sees the maid rummaging through her room, looking for something.
Frowning, Claire leaves her alone, climbs out of bed, and reluctantly puts on her clothes.
“Mrs. Howard, it is time for breakfast.” A maid comes to Claire’s side and whispers, but her face is
defiant.
“All right.” Claire nods, ignoring the maid’s disdain, and, after washing up, follows her down the stairs
with a blank expression.
Downstairs, the maids are looking for something too, looking anxious.
Claire feels confused, frowning, “What are you looking for?”
Hearing Claire’s words, the maid replies, “We are looking for the master’s jade.”
Claire doesn’t want to hear something about Leo so she stops asking. She picks up the milk and drinks
it quietly, thinking of her lost piece of emerald green jade, which her father has left her for her family,
and where it has gone.
She didn’t find it last time in the Bennett family, but she must continue to look for it next time. If she
doesn’t find, she may be lost it in the hotel on that day...
Claire Bennett’s scalp tingles at the thought of that.
“Did you find it?” Suddenly, Leo’s voice rings behind Claire, with some anxiety.
What jade is so important?!
Claire turns her head and looks at Leo, just as he looks at her. Their eyes meet, and Claire Bennett
turns her head in panic.
As she continues to drink the milk, Claire remembers that when Leo asked her to please him in front of
the people that day, something seemed to fall out of his pocket, like a emerald green jade!
Thinking about it, Claire hesitates. Would she like to tell Leo?
Taking a bite of bread, Claire shouts at Leo, “Hey, Leo Howard...”
Not expecting Claire to call himself, Leo turns and stares at her coldly.
“I remember you had something that fell on the couch that day, probably on the couch...” Claire says
softly, “Maybe it is your jade.”
“What if I cannot find it on the couch?” Leo Howard looks at Claire coldly.
Claire Bennett is taken aback. She is only kind enough to remind him!
