Chapter 50 Worse Than Death

it did not matter to Amos whether or not Claire secured the contract.

H Clase could get a contract signed, it meant she was a capable woman. Naturally, Alpha Ventures would be easy for her to govern. If Claire could not secure a contract, then Robert would remain as chairman

of the company just like before. While Amos would not earn a lot of money during Robert's term, he would not be left starving to death.

It was a win-win situation.

It was only then that Robert let the anger simmering in him fade away.

Four years ago, the Donovans had thoroughly offended Mr. Anderson, and Claire was the primary

culprit.

Hence, Claire approaching Mr. Anderson was akin to walking into the lion's den.

With how vicious Mr. Anderson was, Claire would suffer a fate worse than death.

Ha!

There was no way Robert would believe Claire to be capable of securing a contract with Solstice

Industries.

As soon as Claire left Alpha Ventures, she headed straight to the film set.

Matt frowned. No longer looking like the stern, top-notch lawyer he was, he tugged at her sleeves

Although Claire was a scriptwriter, she was paid quite a lot even though she did not do much. It was clear that Mi Suruth was giving her preferential treatment.

"It's fine" My Sith patted Claire on the shoulder. She was beautiful yet talented, exactly the woman he liked dealing with. After checking to make sure there was no one else around, he

leaned in close and whispered. "I do have a request for you, Ms. Lawrence."

Claire just knew there was no such thing as a free lunch. With pursed lips, she softly asked, "What

However, she still did not know what exactly Sean thought of her.

Clane placed the bag of groceries on the table. As she put the items away, she glanced at the area

by the rug

Belle and Jon were sitting on the rug that was covered with puzzles of all kinds including klotski puzzle, mechanical puzzle, burr puzzle, disentanglement puzzle, and building blocks.

Jon casually grabbed one of them. After it was set up. he was able to solve the puzzle within 30 seconds. Belle refused to admit defeat and immediately set up all of the puzzles. Then, without hesitating at all she swiftly solved all of the puzzles. The sight made chills run down Julia's spine.

*Claire, you have given birth to devils! They must have insanely high IQ!"

Claire put down the items she was holding. "Is it that hard?"

"Yes** Julia sobbed. She dragged Claire over to the rug and picked up the mechanical puzzle she had spent 30 minutes on without making any headway at all. She was nearly in tears as she explained, "I

couldn't solve this at all"

Claire silently smiled and plucked the puzzle from Julia's hands. With a few quick twists of

Julia was rendered speechless.

This whole darn family was crazy!

her fingers, the puzzle was solved within seconds. "Here you go."

Claire patted Julia on the shoulder with a smile. After putting away her groceries, she tied an apron around her waist and turned to find Julia still standing there and staring at her with a bitter look on her face. Claire patted her apron and asked, "Do you want to help me with an errand?"

Doing errands was better than being near the two devils and being overwhelmed by their intelligence.

"Sure!" Julia cheerfully walked over and rubbed her hands together as she asked, "What do you need? Salt?"

"I have everything I need." Claire gently smacked her on the butt. "Go check if Sean is home. If he is, tell him that he's invited to dinner tonight as thanks for taking care of Belle and Jon last

night."

"Aah!"

Julia screeched as her face went pale. "I ... don't want to!"

Claire frowned. "Why not? You're constantly calling him Great-Grandpa, so you must be close. Go on."

Things have changed a lot since then. Now, Julia looked at Sean like a mouse who spotted a cat. She could not even hide away from him like she wanted, so why would she even approach him?

Blinking hard until tears shimmered in her eyes, Julia bit the tip of her thumb and started sobbing, "Well, Claire, when you were in the shower that day, I went to give him a hand by telling him about your children, but I didn't know how to tell him about their father. In the end, I said you once met a scumbag who..."
