Chapter 2215
Clara had learned a great lesson from almost falling for Wilson again. She told herself never to fall for him again, or the tragedy of the past would happen again. She warned herself not to repeat the same mistakes. Once fallen, she might be doomed forever!-The next day, Queenie drove to Clara's place around evening. "Clara, didn't we agree to have a meal together? There's a newly opened restaurant in town, and I heard the food is good. Shall we go over and give it a try?" Queenie suggested. "I even drove over to pick you up. You wouldn't mind, right?"Although slightly hesitant at first, Clara finally agreed with a small smile. "Sure. Let's have a meal together. Wait for me." After that, Clara informed her mom and son about the dinner plan and left the store with Queenie.Queenie brought Clara to an expensive restaurant. The restaurant was popular and trended online, and the key target market for this restaurant was said to be wealthy people.Clara looked around at the interi

Clara sat down calmly and let her guesses run in her mind."Everyone, meet my friend, Clara," Queenie introduced. "Clara, this is my man… Harvey Powell. Meet Mr. Wagner, Mr. MacNeil, and Mr. Brooks."Harvey said to Clara with a smile, "Queenie has been talking about you over the past few days, saying you've been her friend for years. We're lucky to meet today, so let's get to know each other! I heard you're pregnant, so I ordered a sweet dessert suitable for pregnant women. You might want to try it."Sure enough, a serving of sweet soup was placed in front of Clara's seat."Thanks," Clara responded."You're welcome." Harvey smiled with a clear intention to please. "Ms. Wells, are you pregnant? Congratulations!" Mr. Wagner began to speak. "Why don't you invite the father to join us for dinner? Let's make the dinner more lively. Maybe we can think of it as a celebration of your baby!" Clara's heart sank as soon as she realized their intention. These people were trying to get in

Clara was about to leave the place as she talked. However, Martin stopped Clara. “Why are you leaving? Wilson is not here yet.”A whiff of alcohol rushed to her nose. Harvey hurriedly pulled Martin away. “Mr. Brooks, you’re getting tipsy. Why are you making things difficult for a woman?” Then, he turned to Clara and smiled. “Why don’t you call Mr. Birch out to have a meal with us? We have no ill intentions. We just want to discuss business with him. You’ll get your share, and it’ll be a win-win situation for us. Don’t you think so, Ms. Wells? Harvey looked like he was speaking for Clara, but his main purpose was to ask her to call Wilson out. They were playing good cop, bad cop. “You guys have misunderstood my relationship with Wilson. You should go to Birch Group to look for him if it’s anything about business. You don’t have to use such methods to see him.” Just as Clara was about to leave again, Martin pulled her back. “Seems like you want to have it the hard way! Do

Clara kept quiet and ignored Martin. She didn’t want to talk to anyone in the room, but Martin thought that she was acquiescing to his words.As for Queenie, her eyes widened when she heard the word “convicted”. She knew that she had to be pregnant with a son if she wanted to get to the top. The fact that she had also been in jail was a big problem for her too. She was lucky that Harvey’s wife had only given birth to a daughter. Her chances of getting to the top would be greater If she could give birth to a boy and get Martin to befriend Wilson. Queenie pretended that she truly cared about Clara and whispered to her, “Clara, I just wanted to invite you to dinner. I didn’t know that it would turn out like this. However, Harvey’s friends are all from wealthy families. We could take this chance to make some money for a better future.”“Is that so?” Clara said with a straight face. She had never told Queenie about her relationship with Wilson, and the people in the room only knew t

Wilson looked at him coldly. A chill ran down Harvey’s spine. “We… happened to bump into Ms. Wells today, so we asked her to eat together with us. Knowing that she’s your friend, we thought of asking you to join us.” Queenie hurriedly chirped in, “I’m Clara’s friend, who had helped her a lot. I met her by chance and asked her out for a meal. We thought of inviting you to join the fun. Thank you for coming. Please have a seat.” Then, she pulled out a chair beside Clara for Wilson. However, Wilson ignored her and said, “Just now, who was the one who said that I wouldn’t stand up for Clara and that she had to drink even if she didn’t want to? I couldn’t hear it clearly from outside, so did I miss anything besides that?” Martin was embarrassed, and he got up with a smile. “It’s a misunderstanding. I just wanted to liven up the atmosphere. I was going to give Ms. Wells a toast.” “A toast?” Wilson sneered. “Clara is pregnant, and she can’t drink. As for me, the doctor has instruc

However, Queenie found her thoughts funny.If Wilson did care about Clara, he wouldn’t let her stay in the tiny store while she was pregnant. Moments later, Martin finally finished the bottle of liquor. Wilson looked at Clara and said, “I’ll take you back.” “Sure,” Clara answered. She knew that Wilson was helping her to establish her authority. At the same time, he was also hinting at the others to respect her and not play any tricks in the future. Clara looked at Martin’s wretched appearance without the slightest bit of sympathy. After all, she would have been at his mercy if she hadn’t called Wilson earlier. Wilson's words were also to serve as a warning to Queenie. Although Queenie had helped Clara in the past, Clara didn’t like being used. Clara was offended by Queenie’s actions today. Just as Clara and Wilson were about to leave, Martin, who was in a mess, rushed toward Clara in anger.From his point of view, it was Clara’s fault that he had lost face in front of o

“Your hand…” Clara looked at Wilson’s right hand. His bandaged hand had been clean before he entered the private room, but now, it was seeping with blood. Wilson followed her gaze and looked down at his hand. “It’s fine. I think the wound reopened,” he said nonchalantly, almost as if it was merely a small matter. Clara thought of the punch that Wilson had thrown at Martin, which made Martin fall to the ground. Wilson’s wound must have opened at that moment. The blood stain on his bandage was getting darker and expanding, meaning that the opened gap of his wound had to be big. “Get in the car,” Clara ordered Wilson. “What?” Wilson was stunned. “Get in the car. Let’s go to the hospital first. Your wound needs a dressing.” Seeing that he was still frozen in place, Clara grabbed his wrist and led him to the car parked in front of them. Then, she instructed the driver, “We’re going to the hospital.” The driver hesitated and looked at Wilson, who didn’t say anything, and only

No matter what, the humiliation and beatings that Clara had suffered sent a chill down Wilson. It was hard for a man to take it, and he wondered how she had managed to get through it while being pregnant. “Sorry,” Wilson murmured with remorse in his eyes. Clara said with a straight face, “Don’t apologize anymore. There was no right or wrong for everything that happened between us. I hope that we can put an end to our grudges and have peace of mind in the future.” Wilson smiled bitterly. All Clara wanted was to live a peaceful life, and he owed her that. “Yeah, I’ll give you peace. I’ll return to Latveria after you give birth to our child. I will put someone else in charge of the subsidiary company in Solaria. You don’t have to worry that I’ll affect your daily life,” Wilson said. Clara looked at Wilson with bewilderment. She had been hoping that he would say that. Since he would leave Solaria after she gave birth, they might only see each other occasionally for their child. S
