Worship The Ground You Walk On

They had been indulging themselves all night and stopped when they were finally exhausted. Claudia fell into sleep quickly due to the tiredness, and when she woke up, she found Ben had left.

Sitting on the bed in loneliness, she felt like all the joy in the night was only a dream.

To her surprise, the fever that had been lasting for so many days was gone!

That was ridiculous.

After she finished washing, she walked downstairs and found Ben was sitting on the table with Conrad in his arms.

The little boy was sitting on his expensive suit and playing with his tie.

And Ben looked less offish but more leisure and calm, and more like a loving father.

While Conrad was still a naughty boy. When Ben was feeding him with a spoon, he would put the food on the spoon into his mouth sometimes, but moreover, he just ignored it and moved around in Ben's arm. Claudia was watching this from a distance and smiled.

She was right to give birth to this baby over the objection of him.

But soon, his phone rang. Ben took out the phone and handed the baby to the nanny.

"Don't worry, Hanna. I'll be there soon."

He hung up the phone, walked out of the dining hall, and saw Claudia moving to him. Grabbing the suit from the steward, he talked to Claudia in a low voice, "Are you still in a fever?"

That was a pun.

Claudia was shy, shaking her head with her face turning red.

To make sure her fever was gone, he put his hand on her forehead and then said, "Remember to take the pills!"

'The pills' were definitely not for fever, she knew that clearly.

But when he said this to her, she still felt heartbroken.

He was leaving home so hurriedly and rushing around in the city not for something else, but only for Hanna.

Claudia turned around, took some birth control pills, and swallowed them with a cup of warm milk.

Having been spending days and nights with him, she was still less important than his ex-girlfriend in his eyes. Maybe that was how far she could go.

She ended up in a fruitless love eventually.

While the stock price of the Evans Group was still plummeting due to Amber's scandal, Eric was arrested by the police.

A letter of accusation with solid evidence was sent to the police department, and all the wrongful acts he had done were completely exposed.

Meanwhile, all the shareholders of the company requested removing Eric Harrison from the position of chairman and withdrawing their investment.

And the only thing Blair could do was to pacify them and buy more time.

After all, Blair didn't even know how to run a company. Since Joseph Evans was dead, she was married to Eric immediately and left all the duties in the company to him. When she had to take care of all of these messes now, she was totally overwhelmed.

When she finally got rid of those shareholders, the men from different banks came after them and asked her to pay all the debts, which she couldn't afford at all.

The Evans Group was completely in

a mess, while Blair wasn't the one who could turn the tides. Her only option was to declare insolvency and gothrough the procedures so that she could keep a few assets under her name.

In the police station, she met Eric and burst into tears with a layer of glass tearing them apart.

"How can I live without you, Eric!

Why does the company owe such a

huge debt? The man from the bank

says they are going to take all of our estates and branches. And those directors, I can't hold them off

anymore..."

Eric closed his eyes helplessly. He knew if he was caught one day, Blair couldn't keep the company in operation, but he didn't expect that the day came so soon.

"What's going on? Nobody knew about the things you have done before. Does someone scheme against us?" Blair guessed.

Eric opened his eyes and took a deep breath, "What do you think? What have you and Amber done when her scandals were spread all over?"

"We..." Blair blinked her eyes. On that day, they had brought some men to the sanatorium and beaten the hell out of Ann!

"Can it be Claudia? No, it can't be! She is just a mute after all..."

"Why? She has been merciless since she was young. The only reason why she is listening to you is that you have her mother in your hand."

As an experienced businessman, Eric was pretty good at judging a person.

Since he had known Blair and gotten.

in touch with Evans and Claudia, he knew that Evans was a simple girl with no ambition, which meant she could be controlled easily, while Claudia was different, who had profound insights and thoughts. Though she was mute, she was not easy to deal with.

Now, the fact had proven that he was right.

Blair thought for a while and began to suspect her, "Oh god!

The more she thought, the more anger grew in her heart.

n't tell me it is her all along!"

But then she said, "She doesn't dare to do this. Don't forget that I can kill Ann at any time!"

"She has done this to us even though you haven't killed Ann. What will happen if you really kill her mother?" he murmured. Blair was at a loss, "So... What should I do?"

"I have told you and Amber to calm down, but you didn't listen to me!"

Eric gnashed his teeth angrily and said, "Why did you have to beat Ann and annoy Claudia? You underestimated her!"

Blair was confused, "But she was just a mute. Besides, how did she get the evidence?"

Eric didn't reply, just glared at her and went back to the detention zone.

While Blair was sitting there in bewilderment.

It was her all along?!

Then, her phone rang and received a message.

She opened it and found it was from Claudia, and the content was simple.

"Release my mom right now. I'm waiting for you at the sanatorium."

Blair was convinced at this moment. It was her!

However, she didn't have any power or connection at all. How did she do it...0☐☐☐☐☐
