She couldn’t help curling her mouth. Claire says, “You could check it. Maybe it’s a jade pendant, maybe
it’s not. After all I didn’t look clearly.”
“You guys, check it out.” Leo asks a couple of maids to look around the sofa, then says in a cold voice
to Claire, “If I cannot find it, Claire, you know the consequences.”
“.....” Claire is speechless. This Leo...Come on! It’s none of her business!
“I find it, I find it!” Suddenly, the maid behind Claire exclaims in surprise, then strides toward Loe with
something inside her hand, “Master, your jade!”
Leo grabs back the antique jade, and smiles. Fortunately, he doesn’t lose the little wild cat’s thing.
Claire is a little surprised. She turns her head to see what the jade looks like, but as soon as she looks
over, Leo immediately puts the jade back in his pocket.
It is obvious that it isn’t meant to be seen by Claire.
Claire doesn’t speak anything. It is just a jade, as she said earlier that it’s none of her business!
Leo is different as he cherishes the jade. He stares coldly at Claire, then turns and goes straight
upstairs.
“I don’t care for it!” Claire mutters when Leo goes upstairs, feeling puzzled.
As a result, just as she mutters, a maid comes in from outside and says to Claire, “Mrs. Howard, there
are two people at the door looking for you, saying they are your friends.”
Who looking for her?! Her friends?
Claire is confused, but at the same time she thinks of Kate and Brynn, who are probably the only two
friends she has. They are her best friends.
Claire has had no friends since her childhood, only Kate and Brynn are closer to her. And Brynn and
Claire are similar in their background, so the relationship is deeper.
“It is just, I did not tell them the address, I don’t think so they will be here.”
Claire speaks to herself, then stands up and walks toward the door. As she walks out, she sees two
familiar figures.
“Kate, Brynn, what are you doing here?”
Claire exclaims with a surprise, rushing forward and embracing them.
It turns out that the two beautiful women standing at the door are Claire’s best friends -- Brynn and
Kate!
Both of the people warmly embraced by Claire laughs and says, “Claire, we have not seen you for a
long time.”
“Yes, I miss you so much!” As she pulls the two women toward the room, Claire asks confusingly, “How
did you find this address?”
“Come on! With your husband’s reputation and his big house, who can not find it? We can not go
wrong place with our eyes closed!” The woman named Kate stares at Claire with a smile and some
mischief in her voice.
Claire is stunned and doesn’t know what to say, so she smiles and says perfunctorily, “Well, okay.”
As three women walks toward the living room, Kate and Brynn looks around, sighing as they see the
costumes in the villa.
Especially Kate, who holds Claire’s hand in envy, says, “Claire, you definitely married a right person.
This house is so luxurious, you will not have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life,
hahaha...”
Claire smiles reluctantly, but she is not at all happy to think of Leo, the crazy demon.
“Hey, Claire, where is your husband...” Just as Kate is asking, Claire sees Leo, who is down the stairs.
Kate screams, “Wow, Claire, your husband is so handsome!”
Brynn, who is less excited than Kate, pushes Claire and says, “Claire, will not you introduce your
husband to us?”
“Um...” Claire bites her lip and feels awkward.
Her relationship with Leo is not good, even if she wants to introduce, Leo is certainly not cooperating,
what does she can do now?!
“Hi, my ladies.”
Just as Claire is in a quandary, Leo himself has come and smiles politely to them.
Claire looks up in surprise at Leo and wonders what he is going to do!
He doesn’t like me, does he? Why is he being so polite to my friends?
Just as Claire is surprised, Kate and Brynn shake hands with Leo and make a brief self-introduction.
“Please sit down.” Leo keeps smiling from beginning to end, very gentlemanly.
“Yes, thank you.” Kate says, pulling Claire, smiling, “Your husband is so polite, hahaha, I think such rich
people will not pay attention to us, Claire, you have a really worthy marriage!”
...
Claire doesn’t know what to say. She doesn’t know what Leo is thinking. She follows, looking at Leo,
Kate and Brynn laughing and chatting.
After a while, Leo seems to remember something, and he says, “Excuse me, it suddenly occurs to me
that I still have the company things to deal with, I can’t entertain you, let Claire have a good time with
you!”
He says, and walks up the stairs.
Kate and Brynn nods hurriedly and says, “It is all right.”
At the moment when the two women returns to talk to Claire, no one has noticed that Leo’ face
suddenly becomes expressionless.
As he walks up the stairs to the room and closes the door, Leo draws back his smile in his face, his
smile becomes bloodthirsty, sly and cruel.
Claire, on the other side, is dumbfounded and wondering why Leo is suddenly so polite. Kate and
Brynn come over and say with a smile, “How lucky you are that your husband is not only handsome but
also so nice.”
Claire just waves her hand, no words, no objections, and no answers.
For so long, Claire simply takes the conversation elsewhere and begins catching up with her friends.
Three girls together have a lot of talk, after all, they are playmates from childhood to grow up and they
know all embarrassing things of each other, so they can play jokes without limits.
“Do you remember when Claire was little, she wore a scarf all day long, always thinking she was a
noble lady? At that time, Brynn and I did not care, we thought of you as a silly girl, and today your
dream comes true, Claire.” Kate says, laughing again.
