Claire locked herself in her office the whole day and never left.She also never ate or drank, merely sitting alone on her office chair and reminiscing about her marriage with Charlie.There was no telling how many times she cried through it all, and her eyes were left red and swollen from tears.As evening arrived and everyone else left, Momo knocked on Clarie's door and asked softly, "Ms. Wilson? Aren't you leaving?""In a minute," Claire replied. "Just go for now—are there still others outside?""No, it's just me left."Claire sighed in relief, and said, "Alright, just go on ahead. I'll be leaving soon too.""Yes, Ms. Wilson. I'm going now."After Momo left, Claire waited for another ten minutes until everyone was gone, before dragging her weary self out of her office.Looking around at the clean, spacious office, she found herself really reluctant to leave.Leaving Charlie meant anonymity and briefly disappeared from this world.When that happened, her company would be s

Ten minutes later, Momo was happily skipping out of Feather Hall with two charms.Claire was herself outside, spacing out and not noticing Momo until she came up to her, asking in feigned curiosity, "What's on your mind, Ms. Wilson?"Clarie came to her senses and frantically replied, "What? Oh, it's nothing… Anyway, are you finished?""Yep!" Momo nodded happily, waving her charm. "I got it, so let's go! Can I hitch a ride?""Sure," Claire agreed to it immediately, but remained distracted.At that moment, her mind was filled with shock, confusion, and pain—all she wanted was to hurry back to her office soon, lock herself up to think in silence.Still, she was still distracted on the way to the office, and almost got in an accident if Momo didn't warn her in time.After getting to the office after many close shaves, Claire was heading straight to her office when the admin came to ask, "Ms. Wilson? What time will the daily meeting be?"Claire waved him off, groaning and scowling,

Hence, Claire bowed at Jeevika again. "Thank you, Master Jeevika!"Reluctant to stay, she took two steps backward, nodded and said softly, "I'll be going now."As she turned to leave, a curious Momo went up to her. "Ms. Wilson? What took you so long?"Claire had no idea Momo was a part of the conspiracy, and forced a smile. "I guessed I asked too many questions and it really dragged on. Go on in—I'll wait outside." Momo nodded, and then exclaimed in surprise, "Ms. Wilson? Where did you get those flowers?""I-It's a present from Master Jeevika," Claire replied awkwardly. "He said we seemed connected, and told me to take them home and care for them."Momo's eyes widened in curiosity. "Whoa, that sounds so mystical… But I guess I should go in now. I'll be right back, Ms. Wilson!"Claire nodded, watching as Momo headed into Feather Hall.Once inside, Momo found both Stephen and Jeevika around, and hurried over, asking in a hushed voice, "What should I do now, Mr. Thompson?"Steph
Chapter 7286
Humans are creatures of hindsight most of the time, and it was only now that Claire realized that she fell for Charlie.But with the strange way things started between them, they couldn't get their relationship on the right track.And now, it was too late to change course.She knew full well that she had every reason to leave Charlie—whether temporarily or permanently, she needed to be gone from his world.And that meant she missed the best timing to properly develop a relationship.Seeing the pain on her face, Stephen knew in his mind that this wouldn't be easy for Claire.For Claire, it's not just leaving her husband, but also her entire social circle. It was she and her parents who needed to vanish from the place they lived without leaving any clues, not to mention that it was even more difficult now that she correctly guessed the connection between Quinn and Charlie. Feeling a little sympathy for Claire just then, Stephen sighed. "Mrs. Wade… You really don't have to worry t
Chapter 7285
After thinking about it for a while, Stephen sighed and said, "Since you've taken the trouble to ask, then I shall give you the truth… Ms. Golding's parents were best friends with Curtis Wade and Ashley Acker, and they've mutually decided to betroth Ms. Golding to Master Charlie."And since she was a child, Ms. Golding always considered herself Master Charlie's fiancee. Even though he had gone missing for decades, she still held on to that conviction."Claire was shocked by the answer.But more than that, her heart hurt—not just because Charlie hid his heritage from her, but because she knew for a fact that Charlie and Quinn were reunited! Why else would Charlie bring her along to have dinner with Quinn?! That left Claire even more troubled.To some extent, she could understand why Charlie would hide his heritage from her.But he brought her along to meet another woman, with whom he was engaged to! All while she was still kept in the dark!That part was a bit too much to take.

Stephen smiled and nodded. "Don't worry, Mrs. Wade. We're not keeping this from Master Charlie forever—once the dust settles and he exacts his revenge, we will tell him the truth."Claire pursed her lips, nodding after pondering for a long while. "If that's what's best for Charlie, then let's go with that. We will disappear from his world.""May I ask when you intend to do so?" Stephen asked. "I will make all the arrangements."Claire was suddenly hesitant, and thought about it for a long while until she eventually said, "Charlie agreed to spend the New Year's with us in the Maldives. We've been married for years, but we've never gone anywhere together, so I'd rather not miss it. "Also, it's Charlie's birthday on the second day of the second month in the Oskian calendar. I'd like to celebrate it with him… if it's not too much to ask?"Stephen nodded in understanding. "I know where you're coming from, but may I ask what plans you have on that day? Or where you might be? So we can

Just once I wish there was more than two chapters
Nanssnnsnsnnsn
Before your writing go's haywire, keep this in mind. Higher ups here do not go around slapping those under them. We have a police union that will take that "Chiefs" job if he puts hands on any officer. So please leave that slapping nonsense out of this chapter.
Why does everyone sound Oskian? I read this problem when Charlie went to Northern Europe. The correct dialect would make this book so much better.
The writer needs to understand, no one would be in the lobby celibateing or eating. Elaine asked for a lawyer and even Charlie told her not to say anything without her lawyer present. Once you ask for a lawyer, they would be jeopardizing their case if they took her statement without her lawyer there
sick of just 2 chapters daily
I’m in too much money to stop.
Linda, you're so right. yesterday's author is better anyway. What a waste again. Two chapters just to get the lawyer in the door. Nonsense!! I can't wait to be done with this crap! I honestly might just stop reading until next year summer time.
This author knows nothing about the American Justice system nor police procedure. No statement would be taken from someone who had asked for a lawyer until the lawyer arrived. There would be no celebration in the lobby; they have break rooms, and no professionals would celebrate anyway.
Charlie with 10,000 Army can find anyone they don't need the name as they certainly have several Alias, and they can use that..he knows what they look like..I bet they will move heaven and earth in search for a rejuvenation pill..haha.. I would! haha
