i Claire didn't believe what her mother had said. She had felt Charlie's sincerity toward her, so how could he possibly cheat? 6 Claire then turned to Elaine and said, "Mom, you're overthinking it. Charlie couldn't possibly cheat!" "What do you mean "couldn't possibly cheat"?!" One of Elaine's eyebrows arched upward, and she rebutted, "If that's the case, tell me, why did Charlie buy three sets of skincare products, and yet, he only brought back two sets? Where is the last one? Where did it go?!" Claire replied, "Most probably he bought it for a friend of his? Maybe his friend asked him to buy it for them?" "Friend?!" Elaine responded with a face hardened from anger. "Only brainless people like you would believe that! It is obviously bought for a woman! You said he was an orphan and did not have a mother, he doesn't even have relatives here! If so, who else would he buy the skincare products for?! Of course it's for that vixen!" 2 Claire looked a little uneasy. She knew that whatever her mother said made sense. 6 Charlie didn't have any relatives in this current area, and he didn't have many female friends. Then, who did he buy the extra gift basket for? Could it be Jasmine? 4 If she remembered correctly, that girl seemed to treat Charlie differently.
Nevertheless, Claire just couldn't bring herself to believe that. The Moore family's young mistress, or more commonly known as the current head of the Moore family, was like royalty of Aurous Hill and even the southern regions. There was no one more capable than her.
Her husband, on the other hand, was a married man. Hence, theoretically, Jasmine would never jeopardize her fand fortune to seduce another woman's man. That relationship was just impossible. 9 Then why did the receipt in her mother's hand show three packages purchased? Who? Who had received the final package?! Through Claire's confusion, Elaine continued her blabbering and questioning. "My dumb daughter, tell me! What is your current situation with Charlie?" Claire dumbfoundedly asked, "What situation?" Elaine asked hurriedly, "Mom is not going to beat around the bush anymore! The situation I mean is a boy and girl's relationship status. As in, where are you in the relationship? Have you guys done the deed?! Claire's face turned as red as a cherry, and she replied honestly, "No... Not yet..." Elaine snapped, "What? Not yet?! Are you dense?! Why haven't you?! What are you waiting for?!" 9
Claire lowered her head and replied in embarrassment, "I... I don't know... It just feels as though our relationship is still very delicate... Plus, it was grandfather who wanted us to get married. I only married him because I was asked to. So, I haven't gotten there..." 6
Elaine immediately scolded Claire, "My daughter! How stupid can you be?! A man has needs, and if you can't keep him satisfied, what if he strays away and looks for someone else to satisfy him?! Charlie is worth more than a hundred million dollars! All the gold diggers are lining up to get a piece of this fine man! 7
Elaine continued, "You listen to me, and you listen well. Immediately grab hold of him and tie him to you! Take this opportunity to seal the deal! It would be best if you were to get pregnant with his child! If you don't, wouldn't our family be doomed if Charlie decided to go after that vixen instead?!" "Plus, don't you forget! This villa belongs to Charlie. If he were to change his mind and divorce you, he will definitely chase us out! Letjust say something. I don't want to go back to the old house which we used to X
