Claire exhaled deeply, ignoring her father’s words. She treated them as nothing more than the usual pressure she always received, hoping everything would eventually be okay.

“Father should try to understand,” Claire muttered softly.

She put her phone away and let her gaze fall on the flowers in front of her, trying to calm herself amid what felt like a complicated situation.

Her thoughts drifted to Calvin. She was sure he would be a good husband to her. Even in their brief acquaintance, Claire could see that Calvin was a wise man.

Calvin always handled everything with a cool head. She figured it was probably due to his frequent involvement in war—he had learned to face any situation with composure.

“I wish my family could be more like Calvin,” Claire murmured with a bitter smile.

    Danny immediately looked at Calvin very seriously. After hearing Calvin’s answer about wanting the car priced at 10 million dollars, he was momentarily filled with doubt.Calvin’s appearance, which was simple and lacking any visible luxury, made it hard to believe that he could really afford to buy it. However, as an employee there, the man still remained polite toward Calvin.Danny furrowed his brow. "Are you sure, sir?""This car is priced at 10 million dollars. No one has been able to buy this latest model yet, because of the extremely high price." Danny explained carefully, not wanting to offend Calvin or discourage him.But so far, the other big families had been unable to afford it. 10 million dollars was a very high and fantastic price."You might want to reconsider before making your final decision," Danny said politely.Meanwhile, the salesman from earlier, Rowan, was looking at Calvin with displeasure.

"Say it.""Kelly, she's very angry about your departure," Jacob explained.Kelly, she was one of Calvin's subordinates. The woman was always around Calvin and was an excellent soldier.

"Yes, Kelly seems unhappy with your departure, General.""She said you didn't say goodbye to them before leaving s

What hurt the most was when they intentionally accused Calvin of being a criminal and still wanted Claire and Calvin to separate.Calvin gently touched Claire's shoulder.The woman looked at him. A few tears fell from her eyes. Her body still seemed to tremble. "Calvin, I never expected this to happen."Calvin shook his head.

After that, he planned to quickly convince Brian, Claire, and Bobby.He was sure he would gain benefits from this marriage. Not only would he be able to enter and work in the Anderson company, but he was also confident he would gain even more advantages.Leo stared at Calvin with sharp eyes. “I’m absolutely certain that after this, you will be very shocked to see all of this.”“So prepare yourself to part ways with Claire.

Including Brian, who immediately became furious as he stared at him.Calvin still held Leo’s hand tightly, applying pressure on his grip. “Let go of Claire.

All this time, she had been waiting for her wedding with Calvin. And now that Calvin was here, Claire’s older brother wouldn’t give anyone a chance to separate them—not even their own father.Brian stared at Calvin with great anger. Both of his hands clenched tightly. “You have no right to take Claire. We are her family. And Claire has more right to be with us.”Brian pounded his chest firmly. “I am Brian Jones, Claire’s father.

    The scream of course confused his comrades. Another man had just arrived. He looked on with curiosity, “What happened to Yuri?”The man dressed in black shook his head. He even looked at Yuri with annoyance, thinking Yuri’s reaction was over the top.The man could see for himself that Calvin only moved one leg slightly. So how could Yuri fall and scream like a child?“What are you doing? Stop acting like that!” another comrade also felt irritated.

Or for everyone to underestimate them.Seeing Yuri not moving and still screaming made two of his comrades annoyed. “What are you doing? Your actions are really excessive.”The man stared sharply at Yuri. “You’re really embarrassing.”In truth, the man had no idea what Yuri was actually doing.
