Chapter 2
"Mr. Tyree, in my opinion, we should keep Ms. Claire here for now."
As soon as the butler spoke, Claire suddenly stopped making a fuss and nodded her head very fast.
Tyree's scalp was numb. As soon as she let go of his arm, he immediately took off his suit and threw it
in the laundry pile. He raised his hand and loosened his tie to feel better.
Judging from Claire's crazed and unpredictable behaviour, he had the feeling that she might do
something even more outrageous.
"Keep an eye on her. Without my permission, she is not allowed to leave the villa."
After saying this, Tyree quickly walked out to the porch, and slammed the door behind him shut with a
loud bang. The way he left was as if there were some wild beasts coming after him.
Watching Tyree leave helter-skelter, the corners of Claire's mouth curled up.
The butler thought that he was seeing things.
"Ms. Claire, please follow me upstairs to your room!" The butler said softly.
"Okay!"
Claire got up from the floor. Glancing at the sticky lollipop in her hand, she put it into her mouth and
licked it. It tasted quite sweet.
She followed the butler to the second floor, took a shower, and put on her silk pajamas. She looked at
her own reflection in the mirror. She had no makeup on and there were two light scars on her forehead.
Claire touched it and winced in pain.
It had been three years. It had been three full years since someone pushed her off the cliff.
Thanks to the help of a very skilled doctor, she survived. For the past three years, she focused all her
attention on studying medicine.
Claire wondered what Sara's expression would be, if she knew that she was still alive and married
Tyree?
For the next few days, Tyree never came back to the villa. The servants in the villa didn't like Claire
because of her silly ways. But no one dared to do anything to her because Mr. Barton has instructed
them to take care of her.
"Ms. Claire, it's Mr. Barton's 80th birthday party today. It'll be held in the Orchid Hall of Chateau Hotel
tonight. Your schedule is written here."
One morning, the butler knocked on the door of Claire's room quite early and showed Claire her
schedule on an iPad.
Claire's fingers tapped on the tablet randomly, but she remembered every detail.
At two in the afternoon, she would need to be at the tailor's to have her measurements taken for a
dress. At five, she would be ferried to Chateau Hotel in another car. The party would officially begin at
half past six...
"Alright, sounds like fun!" Claire was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling as she scrolled through
the schedule. However, she accidentally opened the photo album.
In the photo, Tyree was wearing a suit, and a beautiful woman was holding his arm. It was obvious that
their relationship was not ordinary.
The butler panicked and quickly snatched the tablet, but Claire still saw the photo.
She immediately understood what was happening, but she still kept up her pretense as a fool.
"Who is that? She's so beautiful. Is she Tyree's stepmother?" NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
"Well..."
The butler almost choked on his own saliva. When he came to his senses, he was a little embarrassed.
"Yes, that's right, Ms. Claire, your ride is already waiting downstairs. Please come down after lunch!"
As he turned around, the butler wiped the sweat from his face. Then he thought, "Anyway, Ms. Claire is
a fool. What's there to be afraid of?"
Claire narrowed her eyes.
She wouldn't have mistaken the woman for anyone else. The woman in the photo was Sara Gregory.
It seemed that they would meet again soon.
