Claire rcer was taken to the largest suite on the top floor.
The man disguised as a notary was actually one of Mr. Lawton’s subordinates.
When the car arrived in the underground parking garage, he had discreetly sprayed a prepared aerosol anesthetic toward the driver’s seat.
At the ti, Claire rcer thought he was just spraying so hair volumizer and didn’t pay it any mind.
Who would have thought it wasn’t hair volumizer at all, but an anesthetic prepared especially for her.
"Mr. Lawton, I’ve brought the person."
After he finished speaking, Julian rcer’s figure appeared in the suite.
He wore a subservient, fawning smile and respectfully called out.
"Mr. Lawton."
Mr. Lawton glanced at Claire rcer, who lay on the sofa, her eyes tightly shut in a deep stupor...
That stunning face, that curvaceous figure...
She was more captivating than any of the won he’d dallied with over the years.
The thought that he could finally sample the woman he had coveted for over two years made Mr. Lawton’s breath quicken.
He gave Julian rcer a very satisfied smile.
"Very good, Mr. rcer. You did an excellent job this ti."
"To think you could use a notary to trick her into coming here."
"You flatter , Mr. Lawton." Julian rcer finally breathed an inward sigh of relief.
"I had no choice. This adopted daughter of mine is too guarded."
"Unless it was an official from a public office, there was no way she would have taken the bait."
Mr. Lawton smiled and patted Julian rcer’s slightly sagging cheeks.
"I didn’t think you had any brains left. You’re not completely hopeless after all."
The words were incredibly insulting, making Julian rcer feel extrely uncomfortable.
But in front of this Mr. Lawton, he was a nobody with no say.
Even though he was furious inside, he didn’t dare to show it.
Not only did he not dare to lash out, but he even had to plaster on a smile and thank him for the ’praise’.
"Yes, yes. As long as you’re satisfied, Mr. Lawton."
"Alright." Mr. Lawton’s gaze returned to Claire rcer.
He was growing impatient and didn’t want to waste any more ti on pointless chatter with them.
"There’s nothing for you to do here. Go on, get out."
Julian rcer didn’t want to stay here either.
After all, he had successfully completed the task Mr. Lawton had given him.
He had said that as long as Claire rcer was delivered, he would go easy on the rcer Family.
Now that the deed was done, he hoped to get a firm confirmation from Mr. Lawton.
So, he put on his ingratiating smile again and asked Mr. Lawton, "So, Mr. Lawton, I’ve brought Claire rcer to you. About what you said before..."
"I said, as long as you deliver Claire rcer to , I won’t pursue the matter of you breaking your word before."
With Mr. Lawton’s firm assurance, Julian rcer finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Good, good. Thank you for your magnanimity, Mr. Lawton."
"Well, I won’t disturb you any longer. I’ll leave right now." With that, Julian rcer turned and left the room.
The mont he turned, the subservient, fawning smile on his face vanished.
’To think that I, the esteed head of the rcer Family, would have to grovel before a scumbag like that like so kind of lapdog.’
’Back in the day, our rcer Family had quite the status in Rhonia.’
’How did we end up in such a state?’
Outside the room, Oscar rcer saw him co out and imdiately rushed over, asking nervously.
"Dad, how did it go?"
Julian rcer finally puffed out his chest.
Although he was relieved, his expression was grim.
’In front of Mr. Lawton, I had no dignity to speak of.’
’He could be as insolent as he pleased, and I didn’t dare make a peep. I even had to smile and take it.’
As a man, it was naturally a blow to his pride.
Only in front of his own children could he reclaim his dignity.
He gave Oscar rcer a cool glance and said,
"Everything went smoothly. Mr. Lawton said he won’t suppress us."
Oscar rcer also let out a breath of relief. "That’s good, that’s good."
He was used to a life of luxury and privilege from birth.
If the rcer Family truly fell and went bankrupt, he could only imagine how difficult his life would beco.
The two of them walked toward the elevators together.
As they walked, Julian rcer said, "Scarlett was the real hero in this matter."
"If she hadn’t suggested using the adoption termination agreent, how could we have possibly lured Claire rcer to the rcer Family’s house so smoothly?"
"Most importantly, the idea to have soone impersonate a notary was also hers."
"If we hadn’t found soone to pose as a notary, Claire rcer would never have been fooled so easily."
Oscar rcer said, "She is my sister, after all, and your biological daughter. She has the blood of our rcer Family flowing in her veins."
"People from the rcer Family are naturally quick-witted."
"Why else do you think Gavin Sinclair chose her and not Claire rcer?"
At the ntion of Claire rcer, Oscar’s face twisted with disdain.
"That bitch Claire rcer, besides having a sharp tongue and a pretty face, she’s utterly useless."
"She spent two years trying to win Gavin Sinclair’s heart and failed. And after she got married, our rcer Family gained no benefit whatsoever."
"It’s clear she’s a jinx to our family and will be completely useless to us from now on."
"Unlike Scarlett, who is smart, clever, and resourceful."
"Of course." Julian rcer’s expression softened slightly when he spoke of this daughter.
"If she were as brainless as your mother, our family would probably be in an even tougher spot."
"Once she marries into the Sinclair Family with great fanfare next month, the rcer Family won’t be so easily looked down upon."
"As long as she successfully gives birth to the Sinclair Family’s eldest great-grandchild and secures her position as Mrs. Sterling, the rcer Family will also be able to bask in the glory."
The father and son fantasized about the rcer Family’s glorious future.
Before they knew it, they had arrived at the elevators.
But before they could press the button, the elevator doors opened.
Adrian Sutton was just about to step out when he saw the father-son duo, Julian and Oscar rcer, standing outside.
’I didn’t expect this. I hadn’t even gone looking for the rcers yet, and these two scumbags delivered themselves right to my doorstep.’
’And their appearance here proves my suspicions were correct.’
’Claire was plotted against by the rcer Family and Mr. Lawton together.’
’For their own benefit, they sched against Claire again and again.’
’First, they tried to sell her to that Mr. Bower.’
’After I took care of Mr. Bower, now there’s a Mr. Lawton.’
The rcer Family was walking further and further down the path of self-destruction. Adrian Sutton wished he could just destroy them right now.
His eyes, radiating a bone-chilling frost, stared coldly at Julian rcer as he asked, "Where is Claire?"
Julian rcer had been wondering why this handso man looked so familiar.
Now, hearing him ask for Claire rcer’s whereabouts, he finally realized.
’This is that broke-ass husband Claire rcer found.’
He shot him a disdainful glance, not wanting to waste a single word on him.
’Does a low-class pauper like him think he’s worthy of speaking to ?’
’Even though the rcer Family is on the verge of being kicked out of Rhonia’s elite circles, we’re not so low that any random nobody can approach us.’
He stepped past Adrian Sutton, raising his foot to enter the elevator.
