Worship The Ground You Walk On

Blair stopped and looked at her coldly, "What do you mean? You have requirements for that?"

She tore off her disguise immediately and showed her malevolent side.

Claudia had gotten used to it. Blair was always a malevolent woman to her.

It was her common sense.

No matter how good at acting, she could not erase something in her nature.

She didn't need to be euphemistic and said by gestures, "I can ask Ben to share some projects with you, but first, you need to release my mom!"

"You want Ann?" Blair felt incredible and looked at her staggeringly. Then, she smiled.

She laughed at Claudia in contempt.

"Wow, you think you are a tough guy now? Do you want Ann? Even if I give her to you, can you take care of a lunatic like her? Will Ben allow your crazy mother to live in here?" Claudia remained calm and replied, "In any case, she is my mother, and I can let my mom live in here as long as I'm Ben's wife!"

If she could set Ann free, Claudia would have the way to find a home for her.

Anyway, it was much better than leaving her as Blair's hostage.

Blair smiled coldly, "Ann was living quite well in the sanatorium, and you can visit her as many times as you want. Why bother to do so many things?"

Claudia frowned unpleasantly, but Blair continued to say, "Besides, I'm just asking for some small projects. But now you want to release Ann in exchange? Do you think I'm stupid?"

Blair stared at her cunningly, "You want Ann? Fine, if you can make sure that the Evans Group can earn ten billion dollars in two months, I will give her to you immediately." Ten billion dollars!

How dare she demand such an amount of money.

According to the situation of the Evans Group, it couldn't even earn a billion dollars in two months.

But Claudia just raised her lips slightly and gestured, "It's impossible for me to help you earn ten billion dollars, but still, you can get some small projects. If you are not satisfied with that, you can just go away." "What?" Blair was surprised and soon infuriated, "How dare you threaten me, you ungrateful soul!"

Claudia kept smiling and said in gestures, "I'm not threatening you. I just want you to consider the situation of the Evans Group and the profit from participating in CCU Project. If you think it's worth it, so please release my mother first. Otherwise, you can get nothing from me."

How was it possible for her to sympathize with a woman who had killed her father, poisoned her, and turned her mother into a lunatic!

Even if she only gave some small projects to Blair and her husband, she felt they didn't deserve them at all.

"It is the Crawford Group that manages the part of the CCU Project in this country! Who do you think you are! Don't act like you can control it!" Blair yelled.

Claudia smiled scornfully, "If you don't believe me, why do you come to beg at me? I guess you know that Ben won't give a care about you and the Evans Group at all, and I am the only one who can help you!" Blair was speechless. Claudia had got her pegged!

Now she was in dire straits.

After casting around for a while, she said, "Don't forget that you are also the heiress to the Evans Group. If it goes bankrupt, you can't get a penny from it!"

Claudia replied, "Even if it doesn't go bankrupt, you never intend to leave it to me, right?"

"You..."

Blair didn't expect that she had figured out all of her dirty tricks.

And then, she burst with shame and anger, "I raised you up, and now you are treating me like this, you ungrateful bastard! You are as abominable as your crazy mother!" But Claudia had already be immune to her swears.

She just looked at her peacefully and

said in gestures, "That's my requirement anyway. Mrs. Evans, you are a little bit emotional right now. I suggest you go home and think about it after calming yourself down. Just think about it, whether your company counts or suggestion is unacceptable.

"}

"You bastard... You..." Blair's face was completely red due to her anger. She had never been threatened like this.

But Claudia didn't want to communicate with her at all. She opened the door and made a gesture to ask her to leave.

Blair ground her teeth angrily and said, "Just wait and see, Claudia. You will be expelled from the Crawford family one day!" She grabbed her purse and walked out of the house.

Claudia closed the door and leaned on it tiredly. She closed her eyes slowly and saw the benign face of her mother in the dark.

Blair had been imprisoning her for years. She was not free, she was badly treated, and sometimes she was the punching bag of Blair and Amber...

This time, she had CCU Project as

her bargaining chip to set Ann free. The communication with Blair. tonight was only a beginning. If Blair still wanted to use her dirty tricks, just tried it!

Thinking about this, Claudia opened her eyes and looked determined.

It was time to strike back.

The next day, Claudia felt sick and couldn't find any medicine at home, so she went to the hospital.

She wanted to do the examination which Cliff had told her and saw whether the tumor was benign or malignant.

It was a biopsy without using any anesthetic.

A scalpel was put into her mouth and cut a piece of the polyp from the tumor. Though it was quick, it was also painful.

When the operation was done, Claudia was pale with all the pains caused by the cutting.

She walked downstairs after resting for a while.

But soon, she glanced at the hall of the hospital and saw Ben was walking with a lady. It was painful for Claudia to watch such a scene.

Ben was taking care of the lady by his side. How she wished she could be cherished by him.

Claudia smiled bitterly and took a deep breath. Before she started to walk away, she heard a lady's voice from her side.

"Mrs. Crawford?"

She turned to look and saw Hanna downstairs.

And the tall figure standing next to her, Ben.

"When did you come back, Mrs. Crawford? Why are you in the hospital? Do you feel sick?" Hanna was talking to her warmly and walked to her.

Claudia gazed at her and looked at

the man behind her out of the corner of her eye. He was still looking at

Claudia coldly and indifferently, which made Claudia feel much more painful.
