nIn the car, Claire kicked Hunter and struggled out of his arms, clinging to the car door. She tried to stay away from him as much as she could.
nHunter asked her sullenly. “Who is he? What’s your relationship with him?”
nClaire held her chin in her hand, and tilted her head to look out of the car window. She simply ignored him.
nHunter asked again. “How long have you known each other for?”
nClaire still didn’t say a word.
nStaring at the back of the little thing’s head, Hunter pursed his thin lips, and his eyes were burnt with rage. “You… you’re dating two men at the same time?!”
nClaire whipped her head back, staring at the man. “I’m dating neither him nor you!”
nThe car stopped in front of the Smiths’ mansion.
nClaire got out of the car quickly and slammed the door hard.
nMr. Hopkins carefully observed Hunter through the rearview mirror.
nHunter’s face was gloomy and his eyes were red. He was like a furious lion, exuding a fiery aura.
nAlthough Hunter was usually moody and grumpy, he had rarely been so angry.
nIt seemed that this time, he was really pissed.
n——
n“She got first place?!” Ada was on the phone in the living room, with her beautiful face twisted in shock.
nAllen, on the sofa, raised his head. “What happened?”
nAda hung up the phone, and hesitated for a moment. Then, she said stiffly, “Mrs. Liu said, in this sports competition… Claire won first place.”
nAllen snapped the book closed, and his perpetually stern face showed a shocked look.
nAda was in a complicated mood.
nPhoebe was smart and perfect, but since she was pampered and spoiled, she wasn’t good at sports. In the previous two sports meets, she was amongst the bottom few, which made Ada feel a bit embarrassed.
nWhen she heard other students’ parents boasting about how their sons or daughters did well in the sports meet, she couldn’t help feeling envious.
nShe never expected that Claire would win first place this time!
nIt was a pity that she didn’t accompany Claire to the sports meet.
nThinking of this, Ada felt a little regretful.
nPhoebe was standing on the second floor, her fingers clasping the carved railing hard. Her eyes were filled with jealousy.
nFirst place?
nClaire won first place? What a joke!
nPhoebe was not good at sports, which was her weak point. Now hearing about Claire’s accomplishment, she was almost mad with jealousy!
nDownstairs
nClaire walked into the house.
nAda immediately greeted her with a smile. “Claire, I heard you today…”
nIgnoring her, Claire directly bypassed her and went upstairs.
n——
nThe Johnsons’ villa
nHunter got out of the car and hurried into the gate angrily. In a cold voice, he said, “Investigate that Gallon, now!”
nFollowing him behind, Mr. Hopkins said, “I know a little bit about Mr. Gu’s background.”
nHunter stopped abruptly. Tilting his head, he squinted at Mr. Hopkins. “What do you mean?”
nMr. Hopkins replied. “Gallon Miller used to be the most famous psychiatrist in the Ye Kingdom and was even received by the king. But a few years ago, something happened and his doctor qualification certificate was revoked.”
n“What happened?”
nMr. Hopkins lowered his eyes and hesitated slightly. “He… killed someone…”
nHunter’s pupils constricted.
nKill?
nLate at night
nClaire came out of the bathroom and turned on the computer while wiping her hair with a towel.
nThe door was knocked, and Ada’s voice sounded outside.
n“Claire, are you asleep yet?”
n“No.” Claire threw the towel aside and sat in front of the computer.
nAda pushed the door open and saw that Claire was fiddling with the computer again. She secretly curled up her lips. Why does Claire always tinker with these useless things?
nShe walked up to Claire and smiled. “I heard that you won first place today. Where is the trophy?”
