Chapter 99 Force Claire To Appear
Claire’s bright mood instantly darkened when she heard Alice’s name. “Call the police!”
“It’s useless, Miss Donovan.” The receptionist sounded like she was going to cry. “She’s standing outside the doors, not inside the building. She also hasn‘ t done anything except for shouting your name. Strangely enough, the more people there are to stare at her, the more enthusiastic she is about the shouting. She’s now kneeling by the doors and saying that she’ll keep shouting until you agree to talk to her.”
Claire knew better than anyone how difficult Alice could be.
Alpha Ventures was her mother’s company, and it had already suffered a lot of damage to its reputation because of Robert’s actions over the years. She could not let Alice influence any part of Alpha Ventures.
“Okay. I’ll be right there.”
After hanging up, Claire quickly stood up. “Sir, something happened at the office. I’ll be back as soon as I’m done sorting that out.”
The determined look on her face made Sean stop eating. “I’ll go with you.”
“It’s fine.” Claire glanced at Belle and Jon. “I’ll ask Julia to start packing while you look after these two. We can leave once I return.”
Sean did not argue around her. “Very well. Be quick.”
As soon as Claire walked out, Sean picked up his phone and called Victor. “Have someone follow Claire to make sure nothing happens to her.”

After hanging up, he raised an eyebrow upon seeing Belle and Jon staring at him. Belle pursed her lips with glee while Jon was blankly staring at him with approval gleaming in his eyes.
Sean silently stared back.
Approval? What?
Why did he need a brat’s approval?
Was he looking at a kid or his father–in–law?
Darn, the genes Jon inherited!
“Stop staring and finish up. I’ll have someone style your hair later.”
“Yay!” Belle clapped in excitement. “I can finally look pretty.”
Sean chuckled. “You were already beautiful, to begin with.”
His daughter had to be the most beautiful little princess in the world!
Jon looked indifferent, but he was eating much faster than before.
After all, everyone liked to look their best, right?
Claire drove to the entrance of the Alpha Ventures office. Through the car window, she watched as a large crowd of people hovered around the entrance while Alice’s high–pitched voice could be heard

re drove to the entrance of the Alpha Ventures office. Through the car window, she watched as a large crowd of people hovered around the entrance while Alice’s high–pitched voice could be heard even through the car window.
“Claire, I know you’re inside there. If you won’t let me in, you will come out!”
She was kneeling on both knees with tears streaming down her face, evoking sympathy from the onlookers.
“Who is this Claire? What has she done to make a middle–aged woman cry on her knees?”
Alice froze.
Middle–aged woman?
She was not old!
“I hear Claire is the company president’s daughter. She overthrew her father,
so she’s now the boss.”
“What? How can a daughter do that to her father? How ungrateful!”
“Who knows? It’s dirty laundry. The woman crying on her knees is actually the stepmother.”
“The stepmother? No wonder Claire is ignoring her. The stepmother must have treated her badly. Where there’s oppression, there’s resistance. Since Claire is now the boss, this family is doomed.”
Alice did not care what they said about her. Her only goal was to force Claire to appear.
“Claire, come out! You can’t hide forever! Claire, if you don’t come out,
keep kneeling here until you do!”
Claire scowled and got out of the car.
“Excuse me. Please let me through.”
There were so many people standing around that Claire had to ask them to let her move through the crowd.
Alice instantly spotted her. Ignoring the people staring at her, she immediately dashed over to Claire who instinctively took a step backward. When Alice saw that she could not get any closer, she fell to her knees and
knelt before Claire.
“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry, Claire! Please have mercy on us! Robert is your
father! Clarissa is your sister! Just focus your hate on me. Please spare
them!”
While it was an apology, it was an implicit accusation of Claire being extremely ungrateful and cruel to the point where they were being forced into
a corner.
Claire sneered. “The Donovans still own 25% of my mother’s company. Your should be grateful I have not taken them back yet. What? If you’re used to
being a freeloader, you can ask Adam to come attack me again.”
“That’s right!” Someone from the crowd jeered. “Adam Campbell was the old president’s brother–in– law. Not only that but when you guys tore down my house you did not offer us any compensation at all! There were two elderly owners who did not want to move away, so Adam sent his man to destroy their house sa
they would be forced to move away. He’s despicable!”
Claire To Appear
“I hear that Adam Campbell is a villain who’s always throwing his weight around. He’s not a good egg.”
Adam’s name instantly infuriated the crowd, and they all started shouting at Alice. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Alice resented the entire situation. She would never have come here to be
humiliated if not for Clarissa.
“Claire!”
She let out a wail and grabbed Claire’s thigh as tears streamed down her cheeks. “We’re really sorry! Please let us go! We will never do it again!”
Claire was truly at a loss for words. Alice spoke as if she was going to kill them or something.
“Alice!”
She shook her leg to try to shake Alice off. However, that only made Alice hold on tighter.
Claire’s only option was to push Alice away.
“Let go! I never said…”
Suddenly, she felt a jolt of pain coming from her scalp. Someone had pulled a few strands of her hair off her head. She whirled around to find Clarissa
standing there with panic in her eyes.
When did Clarissa arrive?
She had not seen her before this.

Clarissa hid her hand behind her back and shot Alice a look before anxiously pushing through the crowd to escape.
Alice allowed herself one triumphant smirk before wiping it off her face. She
then let go of Claire’s leg and dusted herself off.
“Karma will get you one day. I’ll have my revenge, Claire!”
Claire frowned. What were they playing at?
She did not get it at all.
Alice immediately pushed through the crowd and strode away.
When Claire returned to the apartment. Julia had already packed everything
Julia excitedly grabbed her hand and shook it vigorously Claire, you’re
amazing! I’m so touched. You’re bringing me along to visit your in laws in
Ascalon.”
