When Claire was on her way to Maple Villa, she was insanely confident in herself. She had analyzed
Alex and Dorothyâs relationship thoroughly. From when they started dating in university until he came to
live with them, she had remembered every single
detail. This woman was extremely bigoted towards money, so she was able to recall all her memories
just for
money itself. She could remember just how Alex took care of Dorothy when she was sick. She even
remembered how Alex
massaged Dorothyâs feet when she felt tired.
His expression filled with love was definitely not just a mere act. Back then, she saw Alex as just a
mere loser for being willing to do such things for his woman. Itâs like he
didnât have a manâs pride, as if he was willing to slave away for her. However, her attitude was much
different this time, she figured that this could be her biggest trump card. âThereâs just no way that Alex
could ever move on from my daughter.â With this, she came to a conclusion that Alex didnât admit to
this just because others were around.
âAs long as I talk to him in private, he would definitely agree to get back together with Dorothy. He
would
give me anything that I ask for too!â She knew Alex quite well, she knew that love was more important
to him, compared to money. âHmph, heâs such a dumb*ss, but I guess thatâs kind of cute!â
âHow else could I have you wrapped around my fingers?â
When Claire arrived at Maple Villa, she even started humming happily. Her voice was oddly melodious
coming from someone
like her. At the same time, Brittany and Maya arrived at the entrance to their area as well. The two had
gone to the supermarket and bought some groceries. As soon as they drove in, they noticed Claire
sitting at their front gate.
In reality, one of the keys to Maple Villa 8 was still with Dorothy, Claire just had no clue about that.
Since the
steel gate was able to sense the key from within the car, it opened up for them. Claire followed in as the
car was being parked inside. Just a while ago, Claire had her head lowered, looking up information on
Lush Cosmetics. She found out that
a bottle of scar removing cream had a bid up to ten million dollars.
She was appalled. A while ago, a female celebrity had been caught up in a car crash, which led to a
scar on her face. The celebrity somehow found out about Lush Cosmeticsâ scar removing cream and
publicly announced her
price because she couldnât seem to get her hands on it. Even so, she still couldnât buy even just one
bottle. Claireâs shock was just as strong as an earthquake. Although she disliked Brittany, she was still
extremely
impressed by how popular Brittanyâs products had become.
She continued to stare at her screen, paying no attention to the people in the car. She thought that Alex
had
come home, which was why she followed them inside.
Brittany and Maya were still sitting in the car, looking at each other in confusion. Maya lowered her
voice. âIsnât that Dorothyâs mother? Why is she waiting at our gate?
Look, sheâs coming
over.â Brittany looked extremely upset, as if she had eaten a fly. She huffed and said, âIâd like to see
what sheâs up
to.â She opened the door and got out of the car. When Claire noticed that the person getting out of the
car was wearing heels, her heart dropped. âA woman?â âThis isnât what I originally planned.â She
immediately calmed herself down. âItâs alright, I just need to talk to Alex in private. I can definitely
persuade him as long as I want to!â However, what she saw next made her heart jump.
