Women are emotional, including Claire. The surprise Leo gives her not only satisfies her vanity, but
also is a promise of Leo.
Leo clearly announces their relationship in front of the crowd and gives Claire an identity. What this
means to a woman is self-evident.
Claire almost forgets it is a staff meeting. She forgets that there are many people watching them. She
and Leo seem to be the focus of the world, or both of them are the world.
Claire hugs Leo. Her tears keeps running down. Leo also holds Claire gently. They seem to be eager to
blend into each other’s flesh and blood.
But their son Conan is complaining. He is at a loss in the spotlight and complains about his parents.
At the beginning, the staff are shocked by Leo’s declaration for several seconds. It isn’t until they hug
that there is constant applause.
Some women are jealous of Claire. Some men adore Claire. Of course, more people worship Leo.
But they can’t do much at the moment other than as a foil.
...
Claire has been dizzy since she comes on stage. She’s just too happy. So she doesn’t even know how
she gets out of the hall.
She makes three cups of coffee in the office. The three of them sit in the office and taste it slowly.
“Aren’t you happy with the surprise?” Leo slowly picks up the coffee and sips it. He seems afraid to
finish the treasure soon.
Conan drinks more than half of it all at once. This coffee, hailed by Leo as the best in the world, doesn’t
seem special. He feels it is no different from other drinks.
Before Claire answers, Conan says, “it’s impossible. Mommy is so happy that she is sad.”
Conan is soon beaten by Claire and bares his teeth in pain.
“You can’t just learn computers. Your eloquence is too bad. Even if you want to show off what you
know, you can’t talk nonsense.”
Claire teaches Conan seriously.
“You are too long winded. I just want to make a joke. How could I not know what you’re thinking?
Mommy, you can’t say that to me.”
Claire looks at Conan angrily and says anxiously, “of course I’m happy.”
But she doesn’t look happy at all. Conan says in his heart, but he does not dare to speak again. Claire
is terrible when she gets angry.
“Leo, is it really OK for you to treat Alyssa like that?” Claire holds the coffee cup in both hands and
wants to drink it with her head down, but she puts it down anxiously.
Leo says he won’t punish Alyssa, but everyone knows it’s worse than punishment. It’s even crueler
than killing Alyssa.
Leo continues to drink coffee greedily and exhale. He smiles helplessly, “you said you won’t interfere.”
Claire says, “she should have known she did it wrong.”
Claire doesn’t even believe what she says. Leo takes a look at her and finishes his coffee. He wipes
the corners of his mouth with a tissue and says, “anything in the world can easily disappear except
jealousy, especially when it develops into hatred.”
He is like a philosopher who is reasoning. Claire tries to hit Leo but she holds back. After all, she was
moved not long ago.
“You’re not sure. No one knows if she really knows she did it wrong.”
Claire still doesn’t think he should do it. She wants to explain, but Leo interrupts, “I don’t really want to
punish her. I want to threaten other people. If you don’t want to be cheated in the future, you have to be
cruel from the beginning.”
He’s right!
Claire sighs and thinks that Leo is not completely impulsive. He thinks about it. If he lets her go easily
this time, many people will be punished if Tracy does the same thing again later.
Claire suddenly remembers a key that she almost ignores.
It’s Tracy who starts it!
Claire pouts and asks, “what do you want to do to Tracy?”
Leo shakes his head helplessly and sighs, “I guess you want me to let her go.”
Claire does think so, but Conan immediately objects, “no, this woman is too dangerous. We have to get
rid of her.”
It is cruel.
Leo praises him, “good. I think so.”
Conan smiles and says to Claire, “Mommy, this woman is your competitor. Do you think she just wants
to ruin your reputation this time?”
Can gossip kill a person?
Claire shakes her head and widens her eyes.
“She broke up her engagement with Daddy before, but now she hears that Daddy woke up and wants
to come back to him. She is not ashamed.”
It’s not surprising that Conan knows these things. He can know almost everything he wants to know.
Claire frowns and says, “I don’t believe your daddy will be seduced by her. Am I right, Leo?”
Leo doesn’t cooperate with her at all. He crosses his legs and casually replies, “I’m not sure. In case I
get drunk...”
He’s making fun of Luke. All three of them can not help chuckling.
“But I’ll punish that woman even for Luke’s sake. Tracy just wants to ruin your reputation this time. Next
time she may threaten your personal safety.”
Leo is serious and determined. Even if Claire explains, it doesn’t make sense.
“But we agreed to let go of the hatred.”
Claire is worried. She doesn’t want her quiet life to be broken.
But Leo holds her in her arms and says softly, “I’m defending our lives, not revenge. Trust me.”
Conan smiles and says to Claire, “Mommy, this woman is your competitor. Do you think she just wants
