Chapter 796

Then she started sending sixty-second voice messages.

Noreen didn’t even need to listen to know what she was saying.

She replied, “Wilbur dug this up. The decision is yours to make. Whether we release it or not is up to you.”

Claire was decisive. “Release it! We have to!”

She had been wanting to rip off Madeline’s mask for years but never had any proof,

which allowed her to act so arrogantly for so long.

She was actually curious to see Felix’s reaction when he saw all this.

Would he still protect Madeline as he always had?

If he did, well, that could only mean it was true love.

Right now, however, Claire’s attention wasn’t on Felix.

Noreen had said that Wilbur had gathered all this information.

He must have put in a lot of effort.

Claire knew all too well how scheming and cautious Madeline was.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have known her for so many years without ever finding any leverage against her.

Out of both courtesy and obligation, she really should thank Wilbur, or at least treat him to a meal.

But…

Claire was torn, filled with regret.

Alcohol was really a bad thing! It ruined everything!

In the end, she couldn’t bring herself to send the words of thanks.

Noreen told Claire to get ready, saying she’d come pick her up at the hotel soon to go to Portside City for tarts.

She also mentioned that she had originally planned to invite Wilbur, but he had other plans.

When Claire heard Wilbur couldn’t make it, she actually felt a sense of relief.

After all, she still hadn’t figured out how to face him.

As her thoughts were in a jumble, she unexpectedly came across a post Wilbur had just made.

Judging by the background, it looked like he was at some nightclub.

The lights were flashy and decadent.

The main picture was a close-up of two hands clasped together.

The man’s hand was clearly Wilbur’s; he was wearing the Patek Philippe watch he always wore.

The hand he was holding naturally belonged to a girl.

It was slender and fair.

The caption was even more interesting.

[So many cute girls in the world, of course I have to spoil them all.]

Claire fell silent for a couple of seconds before turning off her phone screen.

Then she let out a long sigh of relief.

It seemed she had been overthinking things.

A player is a player because his heart never settles on any one woman.

He certainly wouldn’t be affected by any one woman.

He had probably forgotten all about it already.

There was no reason for her to be feeling so anxious.

After Noreen picked up Claire, they headed straight for Portside City.

During the drive, Noreen received a call from Sophia, who told her that Madeline and her agent, Genesis, had gone to LAU Beauty to try and secure the role of the brand’s new beauty ambassador.

Noreen laughed when she heard. “She’s really got some nerve.”

Claire let out a contemptuous scoff. “Looks like she’s trying to poach my spot again.”

LAU was currently one of the top beauty companies in the country, and a brand that female celebrities were all vying to endorse.

After LAU was acquired by a domestic corporation three years ago, it kept only one beauty ambassador.

That ambassador was Claire.

This fact alone had caused Claire’s status in the industry to skyrocket over the past three years. The projects and endorsements she landed were all high-end brands of exceptional quality, making her the envy of many of her peers.

Madeline was one of them.

She was probably trying to use this opportunity to salvage her image and elevate

her own status.

Unfortunately for her, she had miscalculated badly.

Claire leaned back in her seat, looking completely relaxed. “Doesn’t she do her due diligence on brands? Does she not know that I the owner of LAU

“Then again, I guess I’m usually too low-key,” Claire teased, then flipped her hair.

Noreen raised an eyebrow. “So, ready to be high-profile for once?”
