Claire coughs and sits up. She looks at Leo and says seriously, “you really care about Emma. Have
you ever thought that she is not the one you are looking for at all?”
Leo turns and looks into Claire’s eyes. His face is cold, and a strange smile rises from the corner of his
lips. He says, “do you want to say that you are the one I am looking for?”
Now Leo thinks Claire wants him to let Bryce go so she lies to him.
“I...” Claire wants to say yes, but she suddenly thinks of Leo’s character. If she says yes now, Leo will
say she lies to him. She will be humiliated by him again.
Because Leo doesn’t trust her at all!
Claire turns and looks away. She says casually, “No. I just want to tell you not to be confused by the
surface of things. What you believe may be deceiving you.”
Leo suddenly chuckles. He goes to the bedside and holds Claire’s chin. He forces her to look at him. “I
have my own judgment. I only know that I will believe others but I will not believe you. You’re a slut who
lures men around!”
With that, he shakes Claire’s chin away and leaves the room.
Claire falls on the bed. She looks coldly at Leo’s back. She whispers, “Leo, one day you will know the
truth. Then I will make you regret what you said today!”
After Leo leaves, Claire lies in bed and can’t sleep. She keeps her eyes open until dawn.
Claire dresses and goes downstairs for breakfast. She comes to the hall and finds breakfast on the
table, but she doesn’t see Leo.
When Claire sits down, she asks the maid who is cleaning the vase nearby, “where’s Leo?”
The maid sneers, “young master is out. He is not so idle as you.”
Claire seems to be used to it. She shrugs her shoulders indifferently. Leo doesn’t let her out. It’s not
that she doesn’t want to go out to work.
Leo must have gone out to deal with Emma’s funeral. He was nervous last night. He may have gone
out without sleeping.
Claire is upset at the thought of it.
Leo, you know what? I’m the woman you’re looking for!
After breakfast, Claire suddenly thinks of what Leo said last night. Last time he thought Bryce wanted
to kill him, and this time he thinks Bryce killed Emma. Leo won’t let Bryce go.
She has to warn Bryce to be careful recently.
Claire packs up and is ready to go out. She doesn’t notice at all that she is being followed.
She comes to Bryce’s company and finds him still at work. She knows he doesn’t know about it. Claire
is worried and pulls him into the office to talk about it.
After Claire and Bryce enter the office, the person who has been following her leaves.
“That’s it. Now Leo misunderstands that you killed Emma. Be careful not to be caught by him!”
Claire tells Bryce about it in his office. She doesn’t say that Emma wanted to kill her. She doesn’t want
Bryce to be affected. If he fights with Leo, he will suffer.
Claire knows about Leo’s power.
After listening, Bryce thumps the table, and he says angrily, “I can’t stand his misunderstanding! Last
time he accused me of trying to kill him! This time it happened! Who on earth hates me so much? I
think the whole thing is directed and acted by him!”
Bryce is angry. He stares at the table as if he is thinking about something.
“It’s impossible!” Claire comes up to him and tries to calm him down. “Emma is very important to him.
He wouldn’t use Emma’s death to get you in trouble. Someone must be setting you up!”
Claire thinks of the man in the silver mask. But she knows that now she can not doubt him. She needs
evidence and the man saved her.
“Yes, I also think of the possibility. These days, I have been looking for clues about the last event.
However, those people seem not to exist in the world at all. They have no information. They’re gone!
It’s so strange!” Bryce’s hands cling to the table as if he is thinking about something.
Claire never thinks of it. Bryce is serious so she knows it’s complicated. She persuades him, “anyway,
you can leave this place and don’t get caught by Leo! When it’s over, you can come back!”
“Do you want me to hide like a mouse? This is absolutely impossible. I’m not afraid of death!” Bryce
stands up impatiently. He paces back and forth. All of a sudden he stops and says seriously to Claire,
“it’s OK. Believe me. I will soon prove that I didn’t do it.”
“I believe you, but...” Looking at Bryce, Claire has an ominous premonition. She knows Leo. She knows
he will not let him go.
But Bryce is so confident that Claire can’t say what she is worried about.
It is afternoon when Leo gets home. As soon as he gets home, he sees a man sitting on the sofa.
Leo suspects Claire and Bryce have an affair and it’s special, so he asks this person to follow Claire
before going out. Because he thinks Claire will feel guilty and meet Bryce.
They will definitely discuss what to do next.
Leo sees the man at home. This means Claire did go out to meet Bryce.
Leo’s face suddenly turns cold. He gives the man a cold look. When the man sees him, he stands up
immediately. He walks up to him respectfully and shows him a picture.
Leo takes the picture in his hand and looks at it. He flings the picture to the ground. His face turns blue.
He is furious to the extreme.
“You killed Emma and flirted in the office! Claire, you’re slut!”
The picture shows Claire holding Bryce’s hand and walking into the office.
