Genius Son Sells his Mom to Dad

Chapter 228 The domineering Juan

However, Claire can still hear someone talking behind her back when she goes to work the next day. They even start pointing at her and talking loudly to make her hear.

This is worse than yesterday. Claire is even more upset when she comes to her desk and finds it in a mess. All the papers she set up before work yesterday fell on the desk or on the ground.

Claire’s bad mood lasts from yesterday to today. When she sees the scene, she almost cries.

It’s all Leo’s fault. Claire makes up her mind to discuss it with Leo when he comes. If he doesn’t clarify, she will. She will not bear any consequences.

At least before she leaves, she has to return her innocence. She is not sure what she will do then. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Claire makes up her mind. She pretends to be calm and tidies up the things on the table. Then she turns on the computer and sits in the seat waiting for Leo. However, she waits all morning and Leo doesn’t come to the company.

Claire thinks he doesn’t come back. She goes into the office and finds him not in it.

Claire is in a worse mood. She sits in her seat and is not in the mood to work at all. Fortunately, no one comes up to trouble her today, so that Claire’s bad mood is not close to the state of collapse.

However, Claire is disappointed that Leo doesn’t come to the company.

Claire is in a terrible mood. Leo still doesn’t come to the company this afternoon. A little hope in her heart is extinguished.

Claire gets up and packs up and leaves the company. She ignores people who point at her and talk about her when they see her. Claire walks out of Howard Group with her head up and chest up.

As soon as Claire gets out of the company, a black elongated Lincoln comes to the company’s door, and a window falls down in the back seat. Claire sees a familiar face.

“Get in the car.”

Juan says plainly to Claire.

Claire stands and thinks. At last she gets in the car door that the driver has opened for her.

Looking at Juan sitting next to her, Claire says awkwardly, “Juan, long time no see.”

Juan looks at her calmly for a long time. He suddenly smiles. “Claire, you’re determined to stay with Leo. In the end you’re like this.”

Claire is embarrassed to hear the taunt in Juan’s words. Juan may have known her embarrassment in the company, otherwise he will not appear at the door of the company on this special day.

He may have been waiting for her here for a long time.

Although Claire feels guilty about Juan, she can’t help but seriously explain to him, “Juan, I think you may have misunderstood. I stay with Leo to find Conan. I suspect Leo hides Conan, so I became his secretary.”

Claire’s words cause Juan’s dissatisfaction. He looks at Claire and blames her, “so why don’t you ask me for help? If I help you, it’s much better than being his secretary. You’re being talked about in private now. You are so stubborn that you can’t stand it. But you put up with it for a day.”

“Claire, can’t you forget Leo?”

Claire is shocked by Juan’s words. She explains quickly, “no! You’re not right. I put up with it in the hope that Leo will return my innocence. They are not telling the truth. I don’t want to leave now. In that

way, they will think I run away because I’m guilty!”

Compared with Claire’s panic, Juan is much calmer. He looks at Claire with the eyes that see through everything and says lightly, “does Leo clarify for you now?”

“No...” Claire is disappointed!

Hearing Claire’s words, Juan shows an expression that he has seen through for a long time. He looks at Claire as if he is sympathetic or disappointed. “So why don’t you listen to me earlier and leave him? Now you’re like this. Are you willing?”

She is not willing, but...

Juan helps her so many times that Claire can’t pay him back in her life. She understands that as long as she asks Juan for help, he will be desperate to help her solve the problem, but she doesn’t want to owe Juan any more!

She has hurt him once. She can’t continue to be sorry for him!

Claire takes a look at Juan who is looking at her affectionately. She turns her head and says reluctantly, “I don’t want to rely on you every time. I want to solve problems on my own.”

“Why can’t you rely on me?” Juan is emotional. For the first time since Claire gets on the car, he becomes excited. Juan looks at Claire and seriously says, “I don’t care if you rely on me or cause me trouble. As long as you say it, I can do anything!”

Because of this, Claire doesn’t want to rely on Juan.

She shakes her head awkwardly and says firmly, “Juan, I don’t want to owe you more. Although it will be difficult for me to solve it myself, I believe that as long as I try my best, I will get what I want. Juan,

don’t hope for me. Give me up.”

“Claire…” Juan looks down in dismay. This powerful man with numerous assets and numerous subordinates shows his vulnerable side in front of Claire.

Juan looks down and is silent for a while. He looks up and says firmly, “I will not give up on you. As you say, as long as I try my best, I will get what I want.”

“This is different. You can’t force feelings.” Claire looks at Juan and says heartily.

“You don’t have to say that.” Before Claire can finish, Juan interrupts Claire.

Juan becomes as cold as ever. He says firmly, “Claire, I don’t care why you stay with Leo. I’ll take the time to prove that you made the wrong decision. But I want to remind you that everything Leo has now will one day become mine, including his property and you!”
