Damian frowned.Â
He had seen all those news stories online and knew that netizens were now demanding Claudine’s removal from Mitchell’s project.Â
“Come back with me!Â
“I’ll take care of it for you!”Â
Seeing more and more people gathering around, and the discussions growing louder.Â
Damian stepped forward, grabbed Claudine’s wrist, and was about to take her away.Â
His movements were rough, showing no tenderness at all. Compared to the gentle care he had shown Audrey earlier, it was obvious who he cared about more.Â
Just like that, Claudine was taken away by Damian.Â
In front of everyone, she was taken away in such a humiliating manner.Â
“Dami!”Â
Audrey watched Damian leave and immediately tried to follow.Â
But Adriana grabbed her arm!Â
She had seen the whole scene clearly just now!Â
Naturally, she hadn’t missed the look of satisfaction on Audrey’s face when Damian shielded her.Â
A chill ran through her heart.Â
Claudine’s words echoed in her mind again and again.Â
There were some things she had to ask her daughter about!Â
But for now, the most important thing was to keep Audrey here!Â
What Claudine had just said had already made people look at Audrey differently.Â
If Audrey chased after them now, wouldn’t that just confirm everything Claudine had said? Audrey’s reputation wouldÂ
be ruined.Â
She would never allow her daughter’s reputation to be destroyed by a man!Â
“Audrey, today is Professor Nixon’s exhibition. You’re the person in charge of this event, and everyone is watchingÂ

you!”Â
Adriana’s reminder calmed Audrey down.Â
She glanced around and saw that many people were indeed whisperingÂ
She could even guess what they were saying!Â
That crazy Claudine had torn away the last shred of decency between them, making her the laughingstock of these people!Â
She had to stay, she had to regain her dignity, she had to let everyone know that Claudine was the crazy one!Â
She wanted everyone to know that she was the one who truly deserved to stand by Damian’s side!Â
“Professor Nixon, please rest assured, I will make sure to host your exhibition well!”Â
Hearing this, Adriana patted Audrey’s hand in satisfaction.Â
Damian dragged Claudine outside the gallery and shoved her straight into the car.Â
He hadn’t brought a driver; he had driven himself here.Â
He got into the driver’s seat, took off the jacket stained with red wine, tossed it onto the back seat, and, with a cold face, pressed hard on the accelerator.Â
The Bentley Continental shot into the traffic like an arrow leaving the bow.Â
His chest was filled with overwhelming anger, and his reason crumbled like sand in front of Claudine.Â
He had seen it clearly-just now in the gallery, she had put on a pitiful act, but there was not a trace of sadness in herÂ
eyes.Â
How could he not see that this woman had deliberately acted out in front of everyone, targeting Audrey.Â
Claudine wanted those people to see that their marriage was not as perfect as it appeared online.Â
Damian gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands.Â
All he could think about was that Claudine, by burning all bridges, had only one goal-to let everyone know that their supposed loving marriage was a lie!Â
She didn’t hesitate to humiliate herself, to act like a shrew in public, to let others pity her, all just to show that there was no real affection between them!Â
Claudine wanted to push their marriage to the point of no return!Â
He knew very well that the raging anger in his heart was not just because Claudine had slapped him in front of so many people.Â

It was because she refused to leave any room for their marriage, determined to draw a clear line between them!Â
Thinking of this woman racking her brains just to leave him!Â
Damian felt like he was going insane!Â
He would never allow such a thing to happen!Â
Damian pressed harder and harder on the accelerator, the scenery on both sides of the car flashing by rapidlyÂ
Claudine gripped the handle above her head tightly.Â
She looked at the man in the driver’s seat, fear rising in her heart.Â
“Damian, stop the car!”Â
At this moment, Damian had lost all sense of reason. He couldn’t hear anything, his foot pressing harder and harder on the gas pedal. The black car in the night was like a crazed leopard.Â
Watching the scenery outside the window speed by in reverse, Claudine broke out in a cold sweat from fear.Â
She gripped the handle above her head tightly, instinctively squeezing her eyes shut in terror.Â
After a screech of brakes, Damian’s car shot onto a stretch of beach.Â
The force of inertia sent Claudine lurching forward, her forehead slamming into the dashboard.Â
Only then did Damian finally calm down.Â
