After arranging everything, Damian finally remembered Claudine.
When he was booking the tickets earlier, he had indeed overlooked Claudine.
“I’ll go back to see Darla first. You haven’t been back to Reedport in a long time, so you can stay here for a few days. I’ll send someone to pick you up…’
Before Damian could finish, Claudine had already left.
Audrey spoke up.
“Ms. Hogan has never had children, after all, so she can’t understand how we parents feel. At times like this, all we want is to be with our child as soon as possible.”
Damian watched as Claudine walked farther and farther away, his brows furrowing slightly: Should he explain things to Claudine? After all, just now, he had told her they should live well together.
But there was a reason-Darlene was sick, and he couldn’t just ignore her. Audrey was Darlene’s mother, so of course she had to go back too.
Damian quickly convinced himself to let the matter go.
As for Claudine, he would return to Reedport to pick her up after he finished dealing with things in Bronzevale!
Audrey noticed that Damian wasn’t speaking but kept looking in the direction Claudine had left. The jealousy she had just managed to suppress began to rise again.
She said, “Dami, is Ms. Hogan angry with me? Why don’t you go keep her company? I’ll take care of Darla.”
Damian withdrew his gaze.
“Don’t worry about her. Let’s go see Darla.”
With that, Damian turned and walked in the opposite direction from Claudine.
Audrey glanced at the two people walking away from each other, and a slow smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
She followed behind Damian, quickening her pace slightly. Only when she caught up with him did she slow down and walk side by side with him.
As Claudine opened the car door, she happened to catch sight of this scene.
It was truly a pity that Damian didn’t go into acting.
One moment, he was professing deep affection for her in front of so many people; the next, he was heading back to

the capital with his ex-wife.
He really was a master at being heartless and putting on a flawless act!
She only glanced once before looking away.
After getting in the car, she gave the driver the hotel address and left the venue.
That night, Claudine and Damian made the headlines.
The trending topic homepage featured a photo of Damian lowering his head to clink glasses with her.

The headline read: “A man in power bows for love-the president of the Barrette Group is actually a hopeless roman- tic!”
Looking at those trending headlines online, Claudine felt nothing but coldness inside.
Damian was truly resourceful, even hiring fake accounts to create such headlines.
Didn’t he feel disgusted looking at them himself?
It wasn’t until the next day, when Claudine received a message from Theodore, that she finally understood why Dami- an had gone to such lengths!
When Theodore called, Claudine was still not fully awake.
She had been sorting through documents until the early hours of the morning, hoping to sleep in a bit, but was unfor- tunately woken up by the annoying ringtone.
Claudine squinted her eyes and pressed the answer button.
The next second, Theodore’s curses on the phone jolted Claudine wide awake.
“Claudine, are you and Damian messing with me on purpose?”
Claudine glanced at her phone.
Theodore?
Why is he calling at this hour? Has he lost his mind?
“Make yourself clear! If you want to go crazy, don’t take it out on me!”
Hearing Claudine’s attitude, Theodore cursed again through the phone.
Without any hesitation, Claudine hung up immediately.
She came to a conclusion: Everyone in the Barrette family is out of their mind!
On the other end, Theodore stared at his phone after being hung up on, and, in his rage, cursed again.
Damn it!

He thought it was strange that Claudine’s attitude had changed so much, agreeing to work with him against Damian.
Turns out, those two bastards were playing him!
Thinking about how Damian made a fool of him at the shareholders’ meeting today. Theodore kicked over the chair. next to him in anger.
There was no way he was going to swallow this humiliation!
As he was plotting his revenge, Claudine called him back.
Theodore tossed his phone onto the sofa, ignoring it.
Just as the call was about to be automatically disconnected, Theodore, unable to hold back, picked up the phone and answered.
He was about to start scolding Claudine, but she spoke first.
“Have you calmed down yet?”
Listening to Claudine’s tone, Theodore felt as if he was the one who had done something wrong.
“Claudine, I-calm down, my ass… Hey! Claudine, did you just hang up on me again!”
