Chapter 311
Christopher was trembling in fright as Albert growled at him.
He had no doubt about Albert’s remarks. As someone who was regarded as the king of the underworldand had ruled the underworld for many years, killing two people was a piece of cake for him.novelbin
He looked desperately at the two brawny men who were dragging Wendy and went up to Claire to askfor help. “Claire, could you please talk to them? She’s your cousin, how could you just watch her beingtaken away?”
Claire pursed her lips and said to the brawny men, “Please stop, she was confused…she didn’t meanto hurt me…”
Claire found Wendy irritating, but they were cousins, after all. She couldn’t bear seeing her beingbeaten by these men.
Albert looked back at Charlie and waited for his orders.
Charlie smiled and said, “Why are you looking at me? Listen to what my wife says, then…”
Albert ordered his men, “Since Mrs. Wade has stated her view, let them go!”
Charlie nodded and turned his gaze at Lady Wilson. “See? I told you, you’re not welcome here. Get lostwhen I ask nicely, or I’ll let Albert’s men kick you out of here!”
The enraged Lady Wilson clutched her fists and clenched her jaw furiously. She trembled so violentlythat she couldn’t even stand still, but she didn’t dare to stay there any longer. Christopher took her armand they quickly walked out.
Wendy, on the other hand, was still yelling hysterically, “No! I don’t want to leave! I want to kill the bitch!Let go of me! I want to kill her!”
Albert kicked her mercilessly and growled, “Shut up or I’ll cut off your tongue!”
Terrified at his sister’s maddening behavior, Harold helped her up and said hurriedly, “Wendy, let’s gohome!”
Lady Wilson sighed repeatedly as she walked out of Claire’s new office. Her intention today was tomock Claire and induce her to return to the Wilson family with a little pressure. Unexpectedly, Clairewas not on the same page anymore, with so many prominent figures backing her up! It seemed that theWilson family could no longer deceive her into returning to their side…
Lady Wilson was feeling extremely depressed and upset. Since Claire did not have any intention toreturn to the Wilson family, there went their only hope to revive the family. Bankruptcy and the end oftheir business was the only resort now. If only she had known it would come to this…

Claire could finally heave a sigh of relief after the Wilson family left in disgrace.
However, the lively atmosphere in her office made her nervous again.
The VIPs were gathering under her roof but her office was too small to accommodate so many peopleand it was not very convenient to move around. Then, she saw many Bright Star Building’s staffhustling around her office, serving the guests snacks and drinks.
The building belonged to the Emgrand Group, after all. One phone call from Doris was enough forthese people to put their work aside immediately and come to help at Claire’s office.
Doris walked to Claire and said, “Mrs. Wade, Bright Star Building is our property. Since you’ve chosento open your office here, we have something for you in return.”
She gestured at a middle-aged man and said, “This is Bobby Hinton, the manager of this building. I’vetold him that in the future, the offices on this floor will gradually be emptied out for your use.”
Claire waved her hands frantically and said, “Oh no, Miss Young, you don’t have to do that. This officeis enough for the time being since I’m the only one working here. I have no use for such a large space.Besides, I can’t afford it…”
Bobby hurriedly handed over a check with the value of a hundred and eighty grand written on it andsaid, “Mrs. Wade, this is the one-year rent that you’ve paid in advance. For your information, we willbear all the rent, utilities, property fees, air-conditioning fees, and heating fees of your office in thefuture!”
