Chapter 272: What Are You Laughing At?
Paula, seeing that Lady Angela had agreed, took Julia and Kira to sit down on
the couch across from Claire.
Lady Angela’s eyes never left Claire’s face with inquiry and curiosity.
“Did you make those dishes?”
Claire graciously replied, “Yes, I did.”
Angela’s eyes fell on Claire’s tender and soft hands, “Your hands don’t look
like those of a cook.”
“Oh…” Claire laughed pleasantly, “Cooking is just a hobby of mine, I used to do a lot of it, but rarely do it now.”
Lady Angela nodded and exchanged pleasantries with Claire, who was relaxed instead of nervous, the chat lightened her mood.
“CoCo, I’m curious, why did you make me those dishes?”
“Lady Angela, I wanted to see you and so did others. Odds are you’ve met a lot of people since you got off the plane.”
Lady Angela laughed as Claire finished speaking.
She found Claire interesting, not like the businessmen she’d met before.
When those businessmen came to her, they either offered her money or gifts, and it was the first time she had encountered something like Claire who cooked for her.

COOKEⱭ Tor ner.
She was an interesting person and Lady Angela liked her.
Seeing her smile, Claire shrugged, “It’s really hard to get to meet you. So before I came here, I learned some information about you and knowing that your grandfather was from Highland and that you were brought up by your grandparents, I guessed that you would like our home cooking here, so I gave
it a try.”
Claire had just finished speaking when she saw Lady Angela’s hand suddenly clench hard, a gesture one only does when her heart’s been touched.
And Paula also saw it.
But Paula didn’t think the matter was as simple as Claire thought.
Celebrity profiles are easy to find but most of them contain only the basic information, and it’s hard to find any information that dates back to such a long time ago.
Claire even found this, which meant she had wide connections.
Lady Angela naturally thought of it too, so she didn’t ask any more stupid questions and got right to the point, “CoCo, I’m only coming to Ascalon this time in the name of digging business opportunities, my purpose isn’t actually that so I’m afraid I will have to let you down.”
Kira was pissed upon hearing this.
If her purpose was not that, why did she let out the news and make their
efforts in vain?
Did she think their time was worthless?

“Lady…”
Paula grabbed her hand and squeezed it hard. Kira turned her head to her
mother and saw her mother’s warning look, she pouted and swallowed her unspoken words in frustration.
Lady Angela’s expression changed, “CoCo, thank you for cooking for me today,
but I’m sorry, I won’t give you access to the Ucasia markets just because of
that. I’m a businesswoman, I have my principles and I would prefer that you don’t say anything about having met me today.”
The cold tone made even Paula feel a little uncomfortable, not to mention
Julia and Kira.
Claire, however, maintained the smile she had always had, “Of course, I won’t
say anything. It’s just that, Lady Angela, no matter what your intentions lie, since you’re here and the news has been spread, you have to give us a chance, right? Otherwise…”
At that, she paused and suddenly cocked her head innocently, “Otherwise, even if I don’t say anything, your purpose here will come to light.”
Lady Angela froze for a moment.
How could this woman in front of her say something so threatening with the most innocent expression?
She took a closer look at the expression on Claire’s face but realized that
other than the words she had just spoken, there wasn’t the slightest hint of aggression in her eyes or her expression.
“Alright, I’ll arrange a meeting, you can go back and wait for the notice.”
She gave an order of dismissal and Claire smiled and stood un nodding

Leaving Lady Angela’s room, Paula took a deep breath as if she’d been in a
battle, cold sweat oozing from her forehead.
“Claire, that was such a bold statement you just made! You have definitely offended her by saying that, and even if she has agreed to hold a meeting. you’re only doing someone else a favor, why bother?” said Paula.
Kira was totally on Claire’s side, “Lady Angela didn’t even think about doing business! Mom, you didn’t hear what she said? If she didn’t mean to do business here, how could she take it to heart? I don’t think Claire did
anything wrong!”
Julia was always on Claire’s side and she, of course, agreed with Kira!
So she didn’t make any remarks about it and just waited for Claire to speak This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Paula was all worried when Claire burst out laughing. Paula grabbed Claire’s hand, “Claire, what are you laughing at?”
“Aunt Paula.”
Claire patted Paula’s hand reassuringly and explained, “Lady Angela is a smart person, even if she didn’t figure it out just now, she will in a
moment.”
Paula pursed her lips and looked at Claire without a word, not really knowing what was on Claire’s mind.
“It’s very simple. Lady Angela must have something else going on this time in Ascalon, and she doesn’t want outsiders to know about that matter so she made this excuse. Since I could find her past with her grandfather, she will soon figure out that someone must have leaked it to me. So. I wasn’t threatening

Paula’s realization dawned on her, “I see.”
“But I don’t think Lady Angela has much sincerity in doing business here, so we can only do our best and the rest will depend on fate.“”
When she got home, Claire kicked off her shoes straight away and lounged on
the couch.
Julia brought out a lot of food and ate it while keeping her company.
In the evening, Sean picked up Belle and Jon from school and came back and just as he walked in the door, he saw Claire lying there. He shook his head and walked over, “What? Bad day?”
Claire squinted at him and pouted, “It went well and it went terribly.”
Sean frowned at Julia, who then reacted to the fact that she had only told Logan they met Lady Angela but had forgotten to tell him the results.
