Mia didn’t know whether Claire and Paula were compatible or they were just pretending.
Paula was surprised to see the three parties, at least ten people. Instead of rushing over like Mia, Paula directly walked to Claire.
“Claire, what’s going on here?” asked Paula.
Claire replied sincerely, “Lady Angela is resting and is not seeing guests right now.“”
“Well, I see.”
Paula nodded, looked at Claire again with warmth and amiability, even more affectionately than looking at Kira, and asked, “So are you going to just
wait here?”
Originally, Claire had wanted to continue waiting. But if she stayed here, she was sure Sasha would also stay, and as for Mia, who was foxy, she probably wouldn’t leave either.
Even if Lady Angela agreed to meet them after a good rest, they wouldn’t have a good talk with so many people present.
“No, I’m not waiting anymore,” replied Claire.
Then she took Julia’s hand, saying, “Aunt Paula, how about we have a cup of
coffee?”
Paula’s mission today was to meet Lady Angela. However, she knew that so many people surrounding the doorway would only make Lady Angela annoyed. At th

time, the cooperation wouldn’t go smoothly. What’s worse, if she was hated by Lady Angela, she would really have no chance at all.
“Okay, let’s just go to the cafe downstairs,” Paula agreed with joy.
Sure enough, as soon as Claire left, Sasha followed suit, and Mia, who was so arrogant, would be even less likely to keep waiting at the door.
Sasha and Mia followed Claire and Paula along the way, which annoyed Julia.
“Claire, are they copycats? What the hell? People might think we’re going to a gang fight!” Julia said in a huff.
Claire curled her lips indifferently, “It’s fine. Whatever.”
Arriving at the cafe downstairs, Claire found a corner seat with a good view, where she wouldn’t be disturbed. She liked it very much.
The four people gathered around a table and ordered four cups of coffee and some snacks.
Sasha and Mia sat not far away from them. Sasha was like a radar, keeping a close eye on their movements at all times.
Claire just ignored them.
“Aunt Paula, did the Summers family come up with any good programs this time?” inquired Claire.
With a depressed face, Paula replied, “Claire, to be honest, I don’t have the slightest confidence in entering the international market this time around, and I’m here just to watch the fun.”

Giving up so easily wasn’t Paula’s style.
Claire furrowed her brows and asked worriedly, “Is… something wrong?”
Paula pursed her lips hard, hesitating how to speak.
Seeing such a scene, Kira voiced out in an unkind manner, “How do you have the nerve to ask? It’s all because of your shit!” This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
“Kira!”
Paula gave her a low reproach, signaling for her to shut up.
Kira was angry and her eyes reddened in grievance as she said, “I’m telling the truth. Your rumors before had a very bad impact on the reputation of the Summers family. Many people are digging for the truth that year. Grandpa is keen on face–saving. He’s so angry that he couldn’t eat or sleep well.”
As Kira said, her tears fell uncontrollably. Even Paula glared at her, she had to take it out on Claire!
“Nevertheless, my mom still tried to explain for your mother and you, so she went to Grandpa and suggested telling the truth about that year, which was good both for you and the whole Vanderbilt family. But how could Grandpa let it be known that he used to break up an affectionate couple and drive Joseph to what he is now? You know what? It’s the first time I’ve ever seen Grandpa hit my mom!”
Claire’s heart skipped a beat and she looked at Paula worriedly, asking, “Did he hit you?”

Mom!”
Kira cried, “He swelled up my mom’s face, and my mom didn’t leave the house or a week. How could it be nothing?”
Claire knew that Master Summers was ruthless and cold–blooded, but she never magined that he would have laid such a cruel hand on his daughter for the iake of his own reputation.
Claire had never enjoyed Paula’s care since she was a child, and she had always treated Paula as an enemy before. However, after the misunderstanding was solved, Claire considered Paula the only family she had in the world except for the Vanderbilt family people, Belle, and Jon.
At this moment, Claire’s eyes were bloodshot because of endless anger.
‘Aunt Paula, you should either leave the Summers family or overthrow that old man completely. The Summers family will be overthrown if it remains in his hands!”
Paula’s pupils shook fiercely. She had never thought of leaving the Summers family or overthrowing her father.
So many years of submitting to insults and humiliation led to her resigned character. Sometimes she even thought that as long as she obeyed whatever her father ordered, the days would be much better.
But… was it really better?
Only she herself knew the bitterness and sorrows.
In the most aggrieved and difficult times, she thought as long as her father died, everything would be good. But Master Summers was quite healthy.

character. Sometimes she even thought that as long as she obeyed whatever her father ordered, the days would be much better.
But… was it really better?
Only she herself knew the bitterness and sorrows.
In the most aggrieved and difficult times, she thought as long as her father died, everything would be good. But Master Summers was quite healthy. It seemed that he could be able to live another twenty years.
“Claire…”
All of a sudden, Claire held her hand, clenched her back teeth, and fumed, “Aunt Paula, if you can’t steel yourself, I can help you!”
In fact, Winona’s death had something to do with Master Summers. If he hadn’t forced Winona back then, she wouldn’t have ended up like that.
Claire hadn’t made it difficult for Master Summers in consideration of the kinship between Winona and Master Summers. She believed that as long as sh caught the real culprit, she would take revenge for her mother.
But… evil was always evil. Now that Master Summers had done so much evil, why could he still do whatever as he pleased and continue to hurt others?
Even Kira couldn’t stand to watch. Crying, she held Paula’s arm and persuaded, “Mom, just promise her! I know Grandpa often beats you. Whenev you do the slightest thing wrong, he will beat you. Last time, we failed to get the mine, and I lost it to Claire. That night, you purposely pissed me
off and drove me away because you didn’t want Grandpa to beat me. In the end after Claire and Mr. Sean left, Grandpa beat you up all over your body. Mom, I don’t want to see you get beat up again…”
