Chapter Difficult man is not easy to coax.
Pamela holds her shoulders with her arms and gives Claudia a contemptuous look: “I really admire how shameless you’re for showing off that you’re a mistress.”
“Pamela!” Albert snaps at Pamela, “How can you talk to your sister like this?”
Pamela is unhappy. She bites her lip and mumbles, “I’did not say anything wrong, she is a mistress.”
“Yes, I am.” Claudia smiles, blinks her eyes and looks playful. “Miss Pamela , your bags, your clothes, your jewelry and everything else you have were eaned by me with this identity. If you don’t want them, you can throw them away.”
“You!” Pamela becomes angry from embarrassment and gets up to jump on Claudia.
Martha hurries to held her back. “All right, Pamela, all right.”
Claudia sneers at Pamela’s fighting capacity, which can not be compared with that of herself.
However, she casually glances at Albert and finds that his face looks sad.
Only then does she realize, the person who hurts the most by what she just said is him
“Dad…” she can’t help calling him.
Albert smiles and pats her on the shoulder. “You must be tired since you just got back. Go upstairs to take a bath and have a rest. We’ll have dinner later.”

Comes out of the bathroom, Claudia digs out lady’s cigarettes from the bottom drawer of the bedside table and knocks out one to light.
She is not addicted to cigarettes and even hates the smell of cigarettes, but when she is upset, cigarettes are the best tranquilizer.
Her stepmother and stepsister have been cynical and dissatisfied with her for several years. She has long been used to it.
No matter how strong she attackes them, it cannot be too strong.
But she can not forgive herself for unintentionally hurting her father.
“Knock, knock.”
Hastily crushes the smoke out, she pushes the window open to let the smell of smoke disperse.
“Come in, please.”
Albert pushes the door and enters, smiling at his daughter, “It’s time for dinner.”
Claudia nods and walks towards him. “Dad, I was just…”
She wants to apologize, but Albert interrupts her, “Claudia, you have sacrificed too much for this family. Dad is sorry to you.”
“Dad, don’t say that.”
“Well, stop talking and go down to dinner.” Albert pats her daughter on the arm. “Change clothes and Dad will wait for you to eat.”
“Okay.”
It’s for Albert.
Early the next morning, Claudia drives to the mall and buys two of the latest bags from Pamela’s favorite brand.
The little girl’s face lights up with pleasure when she receives the bags. She falters uncomfortably to thank Claudia, but her self-esteem makes her unable to say it.
Claudia drinks the juice and sighs in her heart. If only that man has been so easy to coax like Pamela.
“I’ll go out for a while.” Standing up, she takes the car key and walks out.
In the Wen Group.
Claudia gets dizzy when she sees the building that almost towers up towards the sky.. She flicks her long hair off her shoulders and steps in.
No one in the Wen Group does not know her, so no one stops her from coming in, not to mention that she takes the president’s exclusive elevator to here.
“Ding!” With a sound, the elevator door opens.
Seeing her coming, Wen’s close secretary Wu Ruo welcomes her excitedly.
“Miss Claudia! You finally come here!”
Wu Ruo looks at her like a savior.
Claudia smiles, “What’s the matter? Your boss goes crazy again?”
More than crazy, he is insane!
Taking Claudia’s arm and walking to the president’s office, Wu Ruo reports to her as they walks: “The boss came back for two days and put all the company’s plans for half a year on the agenda. On average, two managers and three deputy managers a day, were slagged off one by one.”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Hearing this, Claudia titters, “Is it true or not, is it so exaggerated?”
“There’s no exaggeration. It was like a catastrophe in Wen Group for the past two days.”
Standing in front of the president’s office, Wu Ruo knocks the door, “Miss Claudia, we all depend on you.”
“Come in.” A low male voice comes from the other side of the door.
Claudia shudders abruptly.
Only to listen to his voice, she knows how angry he was.
Yet she smiles, pushes the door and goes in.
Wen looks up and see that it is her. His eyes flashes.
The surprise is fleeting, too fast to leave a trace on his face.
