Chapter 2218
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

“I’ll get the same thing as her,” Wilson told the owner of the shop at the cashier. “Got it.” After they were seated, Clara looked at Wilson’s hand and said, “Pay more attention to your hand. Don’t make it worse.” “Yeah, alright,” Wilson nodded obediently like a child. Two bowls of pasta were served the next moment. Clara lowered her head as she ate. Wilson looked at her and thought of the time when they were having pasta together back then. “I’ll learn how to make this in the future, and I’ll cook it for you on your birthday!” Clara had said with a smile. “Are you sure that you can do it?” Wilson laughed. “Of course!” “I don’t want you to go through all the trouble. You can just order takeout.” “But you can feel my love when you eat my handmade pasta. I will prepare this on your birthday every year! You have to eat what I cook to be healthy so that our future child and I can rely on you forever!” Clara had trusted Wilson wholeheartedly back then. However, he ha

However, Wilson’s voice was calm, almost as if he was making a simple decision. For a moment, Clara could only stare blankly into his eyes. She couldn't avert her gaze even if she didn’t want to look at him anymore. It took a while for her to turn around and get into the car. The car slowly drove away after Clara closed the door. Wilson smiled bitterly as he looked at the car that gradually disappeared. He knew that it was best for him and Clara. Then, he called someone and instructed, “Get me the details of those people who dined in the same private room with Clara today.” The people who used Clara were going to suffer the consequences. -The following day, Queenie came to Clara’s store early in the morning and apologized repeatedly.“I’m sorry, Clara. I didn’t know that it would end up like that yesterday. Martin only disrespected you because he was drunk. Don’t mind him.” Clara looked at her and said bluntly, “You planned it for a long time, right? You brought me

“You’re saying that Wilson has nothing to do with you even when you’re pregnant with his child? It’s fine if you don’t want to help me, but how could you make such an excuse?!” Queenie exclaimed angrily. Just then, a car stopped in front of Clara’s store, and Serenity got down from it. Queenie frowned when she saw that someone was coming. “Forget it. I’ll come over to catch up with you next time.” She left in a hurry after saying that, and Serenity brushed past her. “Who’s that? Your friend?” Serenity asked Clara. “Not really. She’s my former cellmate, who was quite nice to me in jail. I met her by chance the other day, only to find out that she wanted to meet Wilson through me for business. Her main purpose wasn’t to catch up with me.”Serenity sighed. “People are complicated. Their true colors will show through the years.”“Yeah, I agree. People do change.”“Is she the one who helped you erase your tracks to prevent Wilson from locating you after you were released from p
