Chapter 34
For the first time, Alfie felt a bit annoyed with Claire. He thought about pretending not to see her, but Claire stood right in front of his car
Alfie slammed on the brakes, the screeching sound catching everyone’s attention. Allin glared at Claire standing in front of his car, seething with anger,
He pushed open the car door and got out. “Are you trying to get yourself killed?”
Claire looked up, tears streaming down her face, looking pitiful. “I’m sorry, Alfie. I just wanted to tell you, I didn’t mean to do it!”
In the past, Alfie would have softened at the sight of her like this, but now, with all that stuff online swirling in his head, he felt conflicted.
He didn’t know if Claire had changed or if he hadn’t seen her true colors before.
Alfie looked at Claire with a mix of emotions. “You say you didn’t mean to? Then what about that recording?” His tone was impatient.
As soon as he said that, Claire’s face tumed pale. She trembled, as if trying to say something, but couldn’t find the words. Finally, she looked at Alle and said, “I’m sorry, Alfie.”
“Don’t apologize to me. The person you hurt the most is Moira. You should apologize to her!”
Claire bit her lip and wiped away her tears. “Allie, are you going to apologize to Moira? go with you! It’s always been my fault. I’ll explain everything to
Moiral
This time, Alfie didn’t fall for Claire’s trick. “You coming with me will only make Moira misunderstand more. Claire, if you really know you’re wrong, then
maybe you should stop contacting me!” With that, Alfie got into his car.
Claire stared at him in disbelief, tears streaming down her face even more. She stood there in shock, unable to snap out of it for a long time. It was the
first time Alfie had been so cold to her.
As Alfie’s car drove further away, Claire was left standing alone. After several seconds, she came back to reality. Her hand clenched slowly by her side as she listened to the whispers of passersby talking about her. She didn’t wear the same pitiful expression as before; instead, her face was filled with anger and malice. There’s no way I’m going to lose to Moiral I have to defeat herl‘ Claire swore to herself
Alfie’s car quickly stopped outside the Jimenez family mansion Alfie got out of the car and took out his phone to call Aiken.
Since Moira had blocked him, he had no choice but to call Aiken.
Aiken was slicing watermelon when he suddenly heard his phone ringing. Without looking at his own phone, he called out to Moira, “Moira, could you answer the phone for me?”
Moira put down her phone and picked up Aiken’s phone. When she saw the caller ID showing “Alfie,” she immediately hung up and then blocked the number on Aiken’s phone.
Aiken pl
placed the sliced watermelon on a plate. Seeing Moira didn’t answer the call, he couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, just a scam,” Moira replied coldly.
Aiken didn’t think much of it. He pushed the plate of watermelon towards Moirs and said, “Try some.”
Moira really loved watermelon, but the ones avaliable this season weren’t that tasty. This particular watermelon was a new variety developed by Aiken’s friend, who had just sent it over today. Aiken was eager for Moira to give it a try.
“Thanks, Dad.” Moira picked up a slice and took a bite. It wasn’t very sweet, but it was refreshing “it’s delicious. Dad, you should have some too!”
Aiken smiled and took a piece. After watching TV for a while, he couldn’t resist saying “Moira, Barclay mentioned you’re moving to his place next week”
