Whether it was due to years of habit or some other reason, Claire still refused to wake up at this point. Meanwhile, Arthur had already finished his meeting in Ritewood.
He had only managed to sleep for three hours in the car last night, but he looked energetic and radiant, without a trace of fatigue.

This energy allowed him to speak eloquently and think clearly during today’s meeting, and he secured substantial gains for
Clusia.
As the meeting concluded, the newly appointed leader of Ritewood approached Arthur. “Mr. Jarrett, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you. Your eloquence and strategies are undoubtedly the most visionary and strategic among all the leaders I’ve encountered.
“I admire you greatly and hope we can have more collaboration in the future. Please, allow me to see you out.”
“Absolutely,” Arthur replied. As soon as he finished speaking, Mateo leaned in and whispered something to him.
After speaking, Arthur’s face still didn’t change, he smiled and said to the Ritewood leader who was still standing in front of him, “I believe that the previous cooperation between our Clusia and your Ritewood will definitely bring earth–shaking changes.
“Let us look forward to it next, thank you for your hospitality today, and welcome to Clusia next time.
“I have something to do back in Clusia, so I won’t waste your time. Please stop here.” Humble and polite but without losing momentum, it makes people impeccable.
The Ritewood leader nodded frequently, “Okay, okay.” After saying goodbye to each other, Arthur turned around.
The man who was still smiling just now suddenly had a gloomy face, stern and serious, “Find out the culprit, regardless of gender or status. As for the rest, you can deal with it. Return to Clusia immediately.”
“Yes.” Mateo looked at Arthur, who was suddenly feeling a little out of sorts beside him, and nodded in response.
It has been a while since the incident about Claire in Betrico’s circle of powerful and influential people. A second ago, everyone was still chatting and criticizing as an after–dinner joke, and the next second, all relevant information disappeared. Even the related pictures that everyone took screenshots of and saved in their albums have all disappeared.
The noble ladies, who were still eating snacks, drinking high–end coffee and chatting, said, “What’s going on? Hey, wasn’t it still good just now? Why did it disappear?”
“The screenshots in my album are gone too.”
“My phone just went blank.”
“Mine too, it’s completely frozen.”
“My husband texted me not to gossip, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to help me if something happened.
“My husband too, told me to read more books and newspapers, go out less and gossip less, and he wanted me to go home immediately.”
“I don’t know what happened, but I’m scared. I love my husband, and I cherish this marriage, so I’ll go back first.”

“I’m going back too. Don’t contact me if nothing’s up.”
All of them went home.

Mrs. Jarrett, who had been worried about the impact of this incident, breathed a sigh of relief when she received this news from Jean.
Mary said, “That’s what I thought! Although I might have misjudged people in the past, I was absolutely right about my grandson’s mother. Her eyes were full of light and love, very intriguing. I wonder who could be so vile as to fabricate such
nonsense.
“Jean. We should find a time to visit them and offer them some comfort.”
Jean fully agreed with Mrs. Jarrett’s suggestion and echoed, “Yes, good.”
At Chivers Residence, Cherise was the first to know when the rumors disappeared. Looking at the interface that was completely clean, she smiled, her lips pursed.
Then, she opened a photo, clicked send, and followed the previous sending path, only sending it to the elite circle. It was a photo of a statement and related attachments.
The statement read: [Hello everyone, I am Jacob. I was recently delighted to learn that Ms. Claire is still alive. I believe that everyone in Betrico is familiar with my actions in the past. It was indeed my fault that I wronged her.
[Our marriage existed in name only when our biological daughter was not even a month old. At that time, I had already betrayed Claire. When our biological daughter Cherise was less than 2 years old, I privately dissolved my marriage with Ms. Claire.
[Therefore, after careful consideration, I have decided to take the initiative to clarify the untrue rumors about Ms. Claire that have recently surfaced in the elite circle.
[Below is a series of documents proving the dissolution of my marriage with Ms. Claire. If there is any deception, I, Jacob, am willing to accept all supervision and sanction.]
Below the text, there was indeed a document about the dissolution of the marriage between Jacob and Claire. It looked a bit yellow.
And the date signed below is indeed a full 19 years ago, which is almost 5 years before Hank was born.
As soon as the news came out, the powerful and influential people who were already afraid of what happened to Claire, after reading this statement, all the contempt and doubts in their hearts disappeared.
From now on, no one will dare to mention this matter again. After all, the people behind Claire are not to be messed with.
As soon as the announcement came out, Cherise, who was looking at the good effect, smiled with satisfaction, clicked on the phone screen, and typed a few words in the dialog box with Jacob: [Thank you for this time.]
Claire, who had been sleeping soundly, woke up and all the rumors about her outside disappeared. So except for the vivid memory of what happened last night, she had no idea what happened.
However, Cherise told Hank to inform Claire when she woke up, and she needed to have a sense of crisis so as to avoid unnecessary trouble when going out in the future.
When Claire woke up and heard Hank talking about this, she tutted. Hank said, “This person, it turned out to be Stella.

“It wasn’t directly identified as Stella, but my father said it was a man named Lance, who was promoted by the Walton family, so this matter is inseparable from the Walton family.
“Of course, Ms. Leach said that the person who benefited the most from this incident was Stella. You also know that I told you last time that she said in front of me that she liked my father and had liked him for many years.
“Based on my many years of watching dramas, a woman who can’t get the love she desires is likely to develop extreme thoughts, just like Stella.”
Claire agreed with Hank’s words and nodded, “So watching dramas does have some use. I’ll go back and watch some too.
“But Stella is also quite clever, knowing how to use others to work for her.
“But honestly, she’s also quite foolish. Does she think your dad has been in this position for so many years for nothing? He’s not just going to easily find out who’s responsible and resolve the matter. Later, thank your dad properly for me.”
Hearing this, Hank rolled her eyes at her. “Ms. Leach told me in advance that you have hands and feet, and told me not to do it for you.
“If you want to thank him, thank him yourself.”
