Claire looks at Brynn, closes her lips and is very upset. Then she says, “Leo, I want to talk to you.”
Then she goes to the sitting room next to her.
Leo looks at Claire, smiles, and follows her.
Claire turns angrily to Leo and asks, “What does that mean? Why is Brynn still here?”
But when Leo hears this, he laughs in mock surprise, “What? Dis not you cry and beg me to keep
Brynn? Have you forgotten how you pleased me in bed?”
Claire’s face turns pale and she is immediately ashamed and indignant. Suddenly she realizes that she
has fallen into the trap of Leo.
But she is powerless to break free.
With her head down and her fingers twisted, Claire clenches her teeth. “I don’t know much about her
yet, so...”
“Don’t know much about her?” Leo sneers, “You’ve been friends all 20 years, and you don’t know much
about her, Claire. There is no joke funnier than that.”
Claire looks pale.
Leo looks at her, then stops talking and turns away to the restaurant.
Claire has no choice but to follow him with her head down.
As soon as she gets to the restaurant, Claire sees Brynn standing by, helping Leo pull up his chair, and
then sitting next to him.
Claire is upset, bites her teeth, but doesn’t show anything. Instead, she sits opposite them and eats
quietly.
At the dinner table, however, Brynn seems to be deliberately giving Leo a dish every now and then in a
soft tone. It seems that they look like a married couple for years, making Claire uncomfortable.
Just then, Brynn laughs and says, “Claire, just eat.” As if she has suddenly discovered Claire.
Claire clenches her teeth and loses her appetite, “Sorry, I don’t want to eat.”
Brynn gives a cold snort and says, “I see. You are not satisfied just because it is me who pick that dish
for you, so you don’t have appetite.”
Then she begins to cry again. “Claire, is that true that you can’t stand me? What have I done wrong to
make you hate me so much?”
How can there be such a shameless person in this world! ! !
When Claire hears this, she gets very angry and claps her hands on the table. “What have you done?
Do I have to repeat? I just lose my appetite. Why should you care so much?”
“Well, don’t you just call me dirty? Claire, you’re not innocent, either.” Brynn responds, and Claire gets
even angrier.
So she looks at Leo and finds that he has not responds to anything at all. So she gives up talking to
Brynn. She takes a deep breath, and goes upstairs.
As a result, Claire, who has just gone upstairs to her room, hears a knock on the door. It’s the maid of
the house, “Mrs. Howard, open the door.”
Claire, her scalp tingling, says, “Come straight in.”
But when the maid comes in, she raises her eyebrows at Claire and says, “Mrs. Howard, I’m here to
get some clothes for Brynn to wear!”
Brynn again! “Take it yourself.”
The maid gives a little snort and walks past Claire with a disdainful face. She takes some clothes out of
the wardrobe, and then suddenly says, “There are some people who can’t hold a man, who have no
ability. Why are they still living in this world? What a waste of food.”
Claire takes a fright and bites her lip. The maid’s words sticks to her heart.
“Do you want your clothes or not? Get your clothes and get out of here!” Claire is so angry, she says.
Who knows that maid is more brazen.
“Hmm, no wonder the master doesn’t like you. I say, a woman like you is just a waste in the world!”
The maid’s words are even worse, and Claire suddenly clenches her fist.
“You should understand that I am the mistress of the house! What are you? Figure out your position.
You’re not in charge here! Now, get out of here!!!”
The maid is shocked at this. She was used to seeing Claire being submissive, but this frightened her.
She dares not say anything at once, and hurries out with her clothes in her arms.
On the other side, after dinner, Brynn sneaks into Leo’s room, “Leo, to be honest, I really like you.
Could you promise me? Will you marry me?”
Leo could not help frowning, “Shut up.”
Brynn has no choice but to close her mouth and sit down to look at Leo quietly.
Leo doesn’t even look at Brynn and goes to the bathroom.
As Brynn looks around the room, she feels bored and begins to observe, thinking that if she wants Leo
to accept her, she should behave in the way he likes.
At that moment, the maid knocks on the door and comes in, smiling at Brynn, she says, “Miss. Brynn,
here is your dressed. Mrs. Howard did not want to give it to you at first, which makes me say a few
more words to her. It is a little late. I am sorry.”
Brynn looks at the maid in front of her and says, “Thank you. That’s Claire’s personality. She’s just a
little spoiled. Don’t worry about it.” Then she smiles at the maid.
The maid looks disgusted. “Mrs. Howard wouldn’t be half as sweet as you are. But this time, it seems
that she soon ceases to be Mrs. Howard. Maybe I will call you Mrs. Howard soon.”
Brynn is very happy to hear this, but doesn’t show it on her face, and she symbolically says a few
words to the maid. Then let the maid out.
After the maid leaves, Brynn continues to observe what is in Leo’s room. Suddenly, an emerald object
comes into her sight.
Brynn feels a little bit familiar, and when she picks it up, it is an antique jade pendant. And to her great
surprise, Brynn recognizes it as Claire’s jade pendant!!!
“Isn’t this Claire’s jade? What does Leo do with it?” Brynn is surprised, mumbles, holding the jade
pendant. She knows, normally Claire thinks this jade pendant is more important than her life, how can it
be here in Leo’s room?
