Chapter 840 Claire stared at him. She shot Owen a look that screamed: I can’t believe you’re that kind of guy! “You’re seriously risking your life over a smut peddler?” Owen scratched his head defensively. “Everyone has their little secret hobbies, right?” Claire cast a highly meaningful glance toward Xavier:
Chapter 839 “Unbelievable. Ganging up on me now, are we?” “Now I believe it. She is definitely your flesh and blood!” With reflexes that sharp, she had clearly done this a dozen times before! The table hadn’t hit him hard enough to cause serious injury, just a bruised ego and
Chapter 838 “Claire? Is that her name?” Xavier felt a spark of curiosity toward the girl. The Churchill Family hadn’t made any public announcements, making her sudden appearance highly suspicious. “Mind your own business. She’s not your sister anyway.” Initially, Owen had just been disappointed in Xavier’s stubbornness, but after
Chapter 837 “Shut your mouth, she’s my sister!” If she were just some gold-digger, Owen wouldn’t have reacted so defensively. But Claire was family. If rumors ruined her reputation, he would be the one paying the price. “Your sister? Since when do you have a sister? You think I don’t
Chapter 836 They ordered a massive platter of BBQ ribs, along with a side of loaded potato skins. They also got a massive sundae that looked absolutely delicious. Owen didn’t peel the cajun crawfish for Claire himself, as he was the type who preferred to be pampered. Fortunately, this restaurant
Chapter 835 “Oakley is used to the raw potency of my handmade batch,” Claire noted. “He’s definitely going to notice a dip in quality with this mass-produced assembly-line stuff.” “But it’s not like I have the hours in a day to keep hand-mixing it for him. The commercial version will
Chapter 834 “She became utterly convinced that you were diagnosed with a terminal illness and had only weeks left to live. She thought you were sleeping early and booking vacations just to spend your final, tragic days with her.” “You really need to clear the air, Caleb. The poor woman
Chapter 833 “Pfft-“ Claire completely lost her composure and burst into laughter. “Ophelia, where on earth did you get the idea that Caleb is dying?” She had no clue how Caleb had framed their conversation last night to make his wife jump to such an apocalyptic conclusion. “If he wasn’t
Chapter 832 Claire nodded, fully validating his desperate hopes. “Exactly. That’s why men need to prioritize their health. Sure, guys who practically live in the gym, maintain a flawless diet, or just won the genetic lottery might fare a little better.” “But at the end of the day, the human
Chapter 831 Claire studied Caleb. His hair had grayed a bit, but his overall energy seemed decent. He was definitely overworking himself, but he didn’t seem to be suffering from any major health issues. After all, as the head of a top-tier billionaire family, he had a team of private
Chapter 830 And yet, someone else had beaten her to the punch. That young girl was several years younger than Dane. Could he really be interested in someone that young? If this was just the elders pulling strings, maybe there was still a chance to turn things around. His biggest
Chapter 829 The two of them walked out together, looking like a match made in heaven. Watching them go, Achilles felt even more uneasy. He decided to test the waters. “The Churchill granddaughter is absolutely stunning. She looks quite a bit like her mother.” “She does resemble Melissa, but she
Chapter 828 Otherwise, how could she have seamlessly integrated both modern and traditional medicine? “Is it really her?” It wasn’t Achilles’ fault for being skeptical; Claire just looked far too young. “If I remember correctly, you said she’s an incoming freshman at the Cabinda University, right?” “Exactly. She’s a freshman
Chapter 827 “Ah, so you’re the young lady of the Churchill family,” Achilles said amiably. He maintained a friendly demeanor toward Claire. The Churchills were incredibly wealthy, not a family anyone would want to offend lightly. Even though he wasn’t in business, living to his age had taught him the
Chapter 826 His legs had improved even more. Claire gave him another acupuncture session and updated his prescription before finally announcing she was heading back to the Churchill family. Baldrick wanted to keep her for lunch, but the butler walked in to announce a visitor. “Who is it?” Baldrick couldn’t
Chapter 825 “Is something wrong?” Catching his intense stare, Claire instinctively glanced down at herself. Nothing was out of place; she had buttoned the shirt all the way up to her collarbone, and the hem safely covered her completely. “Nothing.” He forced his eyes away, feigning absolute indifference. She stood
Chapter 824 Besides, she had her own standards. Beautiful and working in first class, she encountered countless wealthy men, many of whom had propositioned her to be a mistress. She had turned them all down, fully aware of her own worth and determined to leverage her looks for a legitimate,
Chapter 823 “But seriously, who was that guy?” “Do you know him?” Tabitha asked, her curiosity piqued. She had never seen him before and figured he couldn’t be a local from Apex. “He’s the CEO of Vertex International. They’re the ones taking over the Westside Heights Project from my family
Chapter 822 Yet, others saw this as a golden opportunity. Earning the favor of a man like him was a guaranteed one-way ticket to unimaginable wealth. However, rumors suggested he had zero interest in romance, with some whispering that he already had a fiancée who was significantly younger than him.
Chapter 821 The SUNNY gala wrapped up, and Claire headed out with Shirley and Sophia. Shirley’s two fake friends spotted her and immediately started pointing and whispering. Since the three of them had indulged in plenty of desserts inside, they were feeling comfortably full. “Shirley, I know your family is
