Luke is relieved and complains, “I’m afraid you’ll become a fool if you go on like this. You don’t care
about your son.”
Claire smiles awkwardly and says, “Luke, tell me Tracy’s phone number.”
Luke is confused and stares at Claire’s bloodshot eyes and asks, “Miss Bennett, are you really stupid
enough to negotiate with Tracy?”
Claire pouts and glances at Luke and says discontentedly, “do I really look like an idiot?”
“Idiot? Yes, you are a real idiot in dealing with everything about Leo.”
Luke’s eyes are blinking and seem to see through her. He makes such a remark arbitrarily.
Claire shakes her head and says, “you know I’ve caused Leo’s illness. If Howard Group fails this time,
how can I deal with him in the future?”
“But you said you would not make up with him.” Luke laughs.
“Of course I don’t have that plan. Anyway, just tell me Tracy’s phone number.” Claire is stubborn.
Luke sits in the chair and looks up at Claire. He shakes his head and still refuses.
“I just want to talk to Tracy, not negotiate. I want to do what I can. Even if she doesn’t agree, she just
satirizes me. What can she do to me?”
Claire feels a little frustrated and tries to make her face look more sincere.
Finally, Claire keeps talking to Luke. Luke can’t stand it and tells Claire the phone number. He tells her
again and again that she can’t answer any of Tracy’s demands.
Claire agrees on the surface, but she is ready for danger and sacrifice. This is her way of self salvation,
which should be completed in any case.
Luke is still worried, but as Claire says, even if he doesn’t give Claire the number, Claire will still get it.
Luke clearly remembers meeting Tracy that day. Although Tracy was talking to him, in fact, Tracy
wanted him to convey her request to Claire. Luke doesn’t want Claire in danger, so he doesn’t want to
tell Claire.
The only thing Luke can do now is to pray Claire not to do stupid things. Otherwise, no matter what
Howard Group will become, Leo will definitely scold him when he wakes up.
Thinking of this, Luke looks at Leo’s bloodless cheek on the hospital bed and sighs helplessly.
“It’s not a bad thing to get sick. At least you can lie here and watch others do their work.” Luke puts his
hand behind his neck and leans against the chair. He smiles helplessly.
But things may be a little more terrifying than Luke thinks. Tracy doesn’t just want Claire to pay for what
she did.
Luke doesn’t know about it.
...
As soon as Claire leaves the hospital, she adjusts her mood and calls Tracy.
Tracy seems to be ready to take the call and immediately answers Claire’s.
Claire swallows and doesn’t know how to tell the woman. She had the upper hand a few days ago but
now they’ve changed places.
Tracy doesn’t talk and just snorts.
“I’m Claire...”
Claire feels the sweat on her hand holding her cell phone. She is not afraid, but has more difficult
emotions than fear. Anyway, she is embarrassed.
But for Leo, she has to put up with it. Claire clenches her teeth and asks again, “excuse me, are you
Miss Wilson?”
“So you’re the little bitch. Do you want to make sure I was killed by your mysterious friend?”
Tracy finally speaks. She first mentions Claire’s threats that day.
Claire smiles bitterly and whispers, “Miss Wilson, I don’t want to fight with you, but...”
“Oh? You don’t want to fight with me? Miss Bennett, do you want to ask me for help? It’s so rare...”
Claire finally realizes how uncomfortable it is for a woman to be mean. Even on the other end of the
line, Claire is angry.
But in fact, she’s entitled to be angry right now. She has to continue patiently, “Miss Wilson, we did
have a lot of misunderstandings before. I’m calling you this time to eliminate these misunderstandings.”
Tracy sneers.
Claire continues, “to be honest, I don’t know if it’s useful to tell you that. In short, I think all things are
due to unnecessary hatred recently. I want to ask Miss Wilson to be able to forget the unpleasant
things.”
Claire doesn’t talk directly to Tracy about the terms. Maybe Tracy will not embarrass Claire when Claire
gives in.
But not everyone is as willing to sacrifice as Claire.
“I can forget hatred, but when people do something wrong, they have to pay a price. Little bitch, don’t
think I don’t know what you think. You want to admit defeat for a while and revenge me later...”
Tracy’s voice is sharp and pierces Claire’s ear through the phone’s earpiece like countless pins.
Tracy finally doesn’t want to talk to Claire. The price she says is the request she wants to negotiate
with Claire this time.
Claire takes a deep breath and says, “forget it. Miss Wilson, now that things have reached this point, I
will not hide them.”
“Oh? What are you going to do?”
Although Claire can’t see Tracy, she can guess how arrogant she is now.
“What does Miss Wilson want me to do? I heard it from Mr. Luke. Although I don’t know what your
request is, maybe I will agree.”
Claire still doesn’t agree. Without knowing Tracy’s intentions, she still waits.
“You seduced a lot of men. No wonder you understand quickly.”
