1. an 'encounter'
"I'm already at the place now, don't worry." Claire Brown hangs up the phone in a low voice and walks over to the Bentley sedan SUV at the corner.
The girl's footsteps are careful as she looks along the window and sees two figures kissing fiercely. ...... Wait, why do they look like two men? Did the client say that the mistress she was going to screw up with was a man? Claire Clifford sighs softly and wipes her forehead. She has been working as a mistress-issue-solving counsellor for almost a year, but this is the first time she has encountered such a difficult situation.
It is too late to think about it, so all she can do is going straightforward with it.
"Bang Bang Bang!"
Claire knocks on the car window with a stern face, and the movements of the two people inside suddenly jerk. She is about to open her mouth and even prepare her lines when the car door opens in an instant. Two people appear in front of her.
They are actually a man and a woman.
Claire freezes for a moment, and the lines that didn't come out of her mouth are immediately stifled. The man in front of her is clearly her fiancé, Robert Gordon. The woman she thought was a man is her half-sister, Vivian Brown.
At this time, the grey duck tongue cap is removed, and Vivian's head full of long hair pours down. She shakes her head, staring at Claire with interest and stretching out her hand towards her, "Sister? Long time no see!"
Claire can only feel the heavenly thunder rolling, almost blowing her up on the outside. Ignoring the slender white palm in front of her, she frowns. Robert's mouth twitches in a mocking smile before he pulls back and opens his mouth, "What, you said you didn't want to marry me and now you're running around looking for trouble? Claire, are you playing a game of lust with me?"
These words step steadily and precisely on Claire's weakness that hurts, and she gets furious in an instant. Her delicate eyebrows are furrowing, "I'm here to work! It was your mistress who hired me to catch a mistress of yours, Robert Gordon. I really didn't expect that you have been so busy in developing this business." She bristles with disdain. Robert snorts slightly, and his face is full of mockery. "Work? I'm telling you, Claire Brown, you'd better stop all this nonsense and hurry back to prepare for the wedding." After the man finished speaking, his palm rests on Vivian's slender waist, touching it gently and reassuringly.
Claire stares at them. She really can't understand what these people were thinking. A man is caught cheating on his fiancée in front of her, while the mistress is able to stay pretty calm at such time and stands by and watches on the side with interest. Do these people have common sense......
"I won't marry you, even if I have to choose between a pig and you!" Claire grits her teeth, and her stomach aches with anger. She turns around and intends to leave, but then she hears a soft laugh from Robert behind her. "That's right, I'll just provide your shares given by the Brown family for Viv as a wedding gift."
Claire immediately stops. How could there be such a shameless person in this world?
Since the two old masters from the Brown and the Gordon families made a marriage contract long time ago, which states that Claire can obtain 50% of the Brown family's shares as long as she marries a single man from the Gordon family. Together with the will left by her mother when she passed away, her 10% share would also be inherited by her daughter Claire as long as there is a marriage. Vivian's mother was a mistress who became the wife of the house after the former one died. She had become increasingly active over the past two years, as she and Vivian have been eyeing this marriage contract for a long time and hence wanted to evict Claire out of the house by any possible means. As long as Claire was gone, wouldn't the entire Brown's forture be under their full control easily?
When Vivian hears what Robert said, she laughs even more flamboyantly. Her fox-like eyes narrow, "Claire, I know you don't want to marry Rob. Don't worry, I'm willing to."
Claire grits her teeth,and her nails almost dig into her flesh. Her mother's life's work had been devoted into the Brown businesses. When Claire was incompetent, she had already seen how Vivian Brown and her mom pissed off her mother and ascended to the throne. After a few years have passed, will she still go to let them swallow up a large part of her shares while she has grown up? No way!
Robert and Vivian have already gotten into the car. The engine is roaring and the exhaust fumes are pouring out. Claire chokes and coughes twice, lifting her eyes and staring at the car in anger as it drives away.
Wait, a single man?
Claire remembers something in a flash. She rushes out to get a taxi with her eyes lighting up.
Robert Brown is not the only single man in the Brown family. He has a younger uncle, Edward Gordon, who is the real head of Jin's Global. After so many years, this super billionaire is still single, since this man is notorious and can not be messed with, with rumours spreading around that he has suffered from misogyny and has little interest in women. Anyway, he is the only way that could rescue her from this poor situation. Claire clenches her fists and thinks: whatever the road ahead is, she has to try!
When Claire gets to the Gordon headquarters, she rushes over and almost crashes into a black Maybach. The deafening sound of the brakes rings out and the Maybach slows down immediately. Claire stands frozen, staring at the car door being opened. A slender figure pushes the door down and walks forward without giving her a glance. The slim suit wraps around the man's slender figure nicely. Even though he just stands there, this natural aura around him will make people's hearts tighten. His figure is even better than those men models in fashion magazines. He has sword eyebrows and a high nose. His thin lips purse out a stern lipline. His sharp short hairstyle lines the man's silhouette stand out more. This is a great-looking man.
Claire couldn't take her eyes off him for several seconds. This man ...... is really as handsome as what the rumors say.
