After hanging up the phone, Claire felt confused. She muttered to herself, “Hunk’s father was so polite when he spoke, totally different from the one appeared on TV. That’s weird.”
Claire had just finished speaking when her phone rang again.
“Oh? Who is it? Never mind. I should answer it first, lest I miss something important,” Claire spoke to herself.
She answered the phone. “Hello, who’s speaking?”
The person on the other end of the phone replied quickly, “Hello, Claire, long time no see. Do you remember me? I am Tristan who you met in Gavoria years ago.”
As soon as she heard the name, Claire’s eyes widened. She wondered, ‘What day is today? How come I receive phone calls from two big shots from Clusia?‘
She felt passive and timid when talking to Arthur just now, but now she was much bolder.
She cleared her throat and said, “Tristan? Are you crazy? Didn’t you receive training before you hoodwink someone? If you were Tristan, I might have been Audrey Hepburn. I have no money, and I am not pretty either. Don’t call me again. You can’t fool me.”
She said all this in one breath, and hurriedly hung up the phone before the other could react.
Having hung up the phone, she collapsed onto the sofa. “Oh my god. How brilliant I’m. What’s wrong with them? I need to sleep and collect myself.”
On the other end of the line, Tristan, sitting in his car, was not upset by Claire’s sudden hang–up and what she said, but smiled adoringly.”
He looked at the phone and muttered to himself, “Huh? Audrey Hepburn? Claire, you underestimated yourself.
“In my eyes, you’re much better than her. Since you’re not willing to speak to me on the phone, then you can look forward to our meeting.”
Then he gently rubbed his lips, looked out the window at the villas named “Prosperous City” and smiled.
Arthur and Claire appointed the following evening to meet.
Cherise and Hank were also there when Mateo picked up Claire at Chivers Residence.
Claire kept looking back and waving at Cherise and Hank who were seeing her off at the door, as she walked out. “I’m leaving. Hank, you go home. Don’t disturb Cherise and Morris here.”
“I know. I’ll go home later. I know what I should do,” Hank said, waving his hand dismissively at Claire.
Cherise looked much better after she became pregnant, rosy and radiant. Seeing what her mother did, Claire couldn’t help but chuckle. “Go on, don’t keep him waiting.”
Hearing this, Claire opened the car door and got in gracefully.
As soon as the car door closed, Mateo ordered the driver to start the car.
Seeing the car retreating, Cherise turned to Hank, who was standing beside her, and said, “Go ahead and tell me what you

“Well,” Hank replied, nodding like a student being lectured by a teacher.

“Here is the thing. I went to the orphanage two days ago, and on my way back to Prosperou City, I rode my bike past the place where the Waltons caught me last time, and I ran into someone of the Waltons again?
“Oh.” Cherise responded with confusion but no surprise,
“The Waltons again? Why didn’t they take you away this time? It won’t be Tristan or Lydia. Is it Stellar asked Cherne
Hank nodded. “You’re right, it was Stella, She came to meet me herself to ask me one thing, about my birth mother
Cherise frowned slightly at his words, as if lost in thought.
A few seconds later, she said, “Since Stella asked you that, don’t tell me she’s interested in your father?!
“Cherise, I know you could surely guess what it is,” said Hank, nodding his head.
He continued, “She told me that directly, I recorded what she said. Listen to this. She even sounded a bit hysterical”
At the last word Hank pressed the recording on his watch.
A hysterical female voice came out. [I like your father. I’ve liked him for many years.
[I thought he was single, so I’ve been waiting for him all these years. I didn’t expect results like this.]
Hearing this, Cherise raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smile on the corner of her lips. “Keep waiting all these years? A young girl grew up to be a beauty in old age. Her perseverance is truly impressive”
Hank agreed with her. “Indeed. But Cherise, judging by her tone, expression, and how the Waltons have been treating me lately, I’m worried she might target our mother next.”
Cherise agreed with what he said. She thought for a while and said, “Never underestimate a woman’s ruthlessness, especially one who has loved and waited for so many years in vain. I’ve been in Betrico less than two years, but I’ve encountered quite a few women like this,”
