What nonsense!
Claire sneers, nods at the man. He understands, takes out a mobile hard drive and says, “I have been
doing this for years, so I have got the habit of recording. Would you like to hear what you said that day,
Miss Brynn?”
Brynn is so frightened that she could not even cry.
“I want to listen to this recording.” Leo doesn’t even look at Brynn.
Then the man inserts the hard drive into the computer and soon the record of the day is called up.
“As long as you help me get rid of Claire, that bitch, and when I am Mrs. Howard, I will give you an
unexpected reward.”
“OK, Deal.”
By the time Brynn hears her voice coming out of the computer, she is completely paralyzed and
unresponsive.
Then Leo turns his head and looks at her coldly.
Tears falls down and Brynn quickly cries and begs Leo, “Listen to me, the truth is not like this, I am
wronged, they frame me...Leo, you have to believe that I really do love you. Please believe my
sincerity.”
Brynn has tears in her eyes. Claire is tired of looking at her, and this woman is still pretending to be
innocent!
Leo doesn’t respond, so Brynn turns around and screams at Claire. “Claire, Leo and I really love each
other, and our love can stand the test, so please don’t destroy us again, OK?”
Claire is really speechless.
But when Leo hears Brynn, he looks up at Claire and wonders how the woman would react.
However, just then, two people come in through the door.
What Brynn doesn’t realize is that it is Kate and her stepmother who come in.
Brynn freezes with surprise.
Claire steps forward and whispers to Brynn’s stepmother, “Auntie, you must have heard what Bryn just
said. She has been living very well with us these days.”
Brynn’s stepmother, with a sudden change of face, steps forward and gives Brynn a hard slap, cursing,
“You are an unfilial girl. You have lost all my face! Tell me, what did you do when Claire was so kind to
you to let you stay here? How dare you say something like that when you covet her husband?”
No one goes up to help Brynn. Brynn’s stepmother is a strong guy, and she is angry. After pulling Brynn
up and giving her another slap, she says to Claire, “Claire, I am sorry about this. I will just go back and
teach Brynn a lesson. You don’t have to worry.”
Claire nods and advises, “Don’t worry, aunt. I will be fine, but I have to remind you that gamble is not a
good thing after all, I hope you don’t gamble again.”
Brynn’s stepmother nods and smiles. Then she grabs Brynn and pulls her out.
Then, after Claire sends Kate and the man who testified for her away, she sighs and goes back to the
living room.
Leo, who has been sitting in the living room without a word, is looking at Claire with a smile on his face.
Claire, who is not comfortable with his gaze, looks at Leo and says, “What do you want to say?”
Leo shakes his head. “Let her off so easily? You are too kind.”
Claire is taken aback when she realizes that he is talking about Brynn and says, “It doesn’t matter. As
long as you don’t need me to prove anything and touch me again, it is enough!”
“I can’t touch you anymore?” Leo snorts, he smiles seductively and says, “You are my wife, of course I
can touch you!”
Leo says, suddenly pulls Claire into his arms, touching her cheek.
Claire is startled, “What are you... doing?”
The maids around see the scene and immediately leave the living room.
Pleased with Claire’s reaction, Leo smiles. Then he trails and kisses along her jaw up to the side of her
mouth....
Claire frowns and begins to struggle vigorously.
“Don’t refuse me!” Feeling her struggle, says Leo in a cool voice.
However, Claire slips out of his arms in the middle of the gap, then runs upstairs without looking back
and slams the door shut.
Leo’s face is so cold. The damn woman... she... refused so directly!
...
When she gets back to her room, Claire takes a deep breath. Leo, what a moody pervert! Well, it is all
settled, thanks to Kate.
Thinking of it, Claire hurriedly takes out her phone and sends a message to Kate, “Kate, you have
worked hard these two days. If you have time tomorrow, I will treat you to dinner.”
Kate’s reply is received, and she readily agreed, so the two women agree on a time and place for
dinner.
After everything has been arranged, Claire looks at the time, and it is getting late, so she is ready to go
to bed.
But somehow there is no way to go to sleep. Thinking back these days, it makes Claire suddenly
realize that she really doesn’t know the people around her.
Brynn, for example, is not as gentle as Claire usually remembers.
And like Leo...
She always thinks that Leo is a total psycho and thinks he treats everyone like a monster.
But, no, he also has a gentle and kind side. Although indifferent, he is very polite to people, and seems
to respect people, not exactly as she thought...
Thinking about it, Claire finds herself completely blind…. She thinks about it for half a night before she
finally falls asleep.
