Chapter 301 “Will Allen Ramsey be okay p> “You should be asking if Claude Hart will be okay. Mr. Hilton’s people have arrived, and Ronald Collins will probably make sure Claude spends the rest of his life in prison. Harming Lydia, kidnapping you twice, plus his financial crimes… it’s enough
Chapter 300 Claude chuckled softly, ruffling my hair as he spoke, “He won’t be coming back, will he p> The shock hit me like a freight train, reminiscent of the last time I faced Hannah Price’s treachery, trying to rescue those girls from the orphanage. That’s when Max left Crestview,
Chapter 299 I hadn’t touched my dessert fork, instead rubbing my wrist and glancing at the clock. “Claude, you need to take me home. I won’t tell Max about today. You know how Max is; he forgave your past behavior because you helped me while he was away from Crestview
Chapter 298 I thought the story of the farmer and the snake was about me and Kate. Turns out, it was really about Max and Claude. We were brought to Claude’s mansion, a place all too familiar to me. The rooms, the decor-everything was unchanged. Except now, it felt lifeless,
Chapter 297 Kate playfully tapped Allen Ramsey on the head. “What nonsense are you spouting? The lining can hold on for a while, and the Hilton family has every resource under the sun. Just keep nourishing it regularly, and it’ll be fine. Don’t listen to him, Claire. What does a
Chapter 296 Helen’s trust in Max was something I could only dream of having. “Did he have someone rough you up? Was it bad?” I asked, my voice tinged with concern. I watched the typing indicator blink on my phone screen, waiting for a reply that never came. Sighing, I
Chapter 295 I playfully nibbled on his neck and teased, “You ever heard the saying, ‘you’re holding your whole world, so does it feel heavy p> With a gentle motion, he laid me down on the bed, cradling my head with his hand. “Yeah, my whole world,” he murmured. For
Chapter 294 I bought an engagement ring for Max, and when Max was showing it off, I found out that my previous miscarriage had left me with complications, and I might not be able to have children. After Claude got out of the car, I didn’t continue the conversation we’d
Chapter 293 Evergreen Health Center was originally established as a sanctuary for those from the orphanage, ensuring they wouldn’t be mistreated anymore. It also provided free medical care for those less fortunate. The wealthy patients, on the other hand, were our financial backbone-balancing the scales, so to speak. “Then we’re
Chapter 292 Pearce saw that I was intrigued and continued, “Evergreen Health Center-we all want in p> “Sure, but to buy in, you’ve got to bring some capital. How much are you all willing to invest?” I gestured for Helen to hand me a document. I had come prepared with
Chapter 291 “Well, isn’t that the truth? Without Mr. Hilton’s funding, how would Evergreen Health Center even be in business p> “Ms. Claire, don’t take it the wrong way. We’re just old folks speaking our minds, no harm meant p> I didn’t bother with small talk and instead took a
Chapter 290 Returning to Crestview Metropolis somehow made everything feel a bit more genuine. It took me about two weeks to shake off the surreal haze and return to my regular life. Richard was still in bad shape, confined to the ICU. Max had shown me some pictures, but I
Chapter 289 “Claire Max murmured against my neck, clearly wanting to steer away from the conversation. His gentle touch was enough to distract my sensitive mind. He slowly moved downwards, his intentions clear p> Just as things were heating up, there was a knock on the door. “Silas, open up!
Chapter 288 Max was trying to keep things simple. He wanted us to head to Crestview Metropolis and live like any other family. But Lily was on a mission to avenge my parents. Even though I didn’t have much of a bond with them, it still p> “I get it.
Chapter 287 “So, if I kill you, that should do it,” Lily said, almost casually, as if discussing what to have for breakfast. The situation had deteriorated into a standoff between three powerful factions. Princess Harriet turned her gaze to me. “Claire Floyd, you have a choice to make. Is
Chapter 286 “Hey, big brother, is it that easy to detain your own fiancée?” Suddenly, a voice echoed from the other side of the room as another man entered, flanked by soldiers as well. This newcomer sported a slicked-back hairstyle, unlike Max’s, paired with gold- rimmed glasses. He wore a
Chapter 285 In a lavish ballroom adorned with chandeliers and velvet drapes, I found myself exchanging glances with Max, who was known here as Silas. There was something aristocratic about the way his name rolled off the tongue, something that made you sit up a little straighter. “It’s just a
Chapter 284 Helen shook her head, clearly disapproving of my plan. “No way. I can arrange for someone else to take them, but I can’t let you go alone. It’s too risky p> Just then, the doorbell rang. Helen and I exchanged puzzled glances. Who could that be? Helen opened
Chapter 283 I bit down hard on the man’s arm that was holding me captive. He jolted awake, staring at me in the moonlight, and I shrank back, startled by his reaction. It didn’t take long for him to regain his senses. His eyes, filled with a fierce intensity, locked
Chapter 282 After Helen had settled Kate and Tracey, she finally returned to my hotel room and looked at me. This hotel was arranged after Max arrived. The layout of the entire floor had a somewhat European flair to it, which Helen mentioned was because Max had specifically bought and
