Chapter 312: Chapter 312: She Really Isn’t That Cheap (2)
He’s doing this so Claire North won’t be upset.
Aidan Lynch was somewhat taken aback: "President Hawthorne?"
"Anyway, you don’t need to worry about this matter. You just need to keep an eye on it and not let my dad trouble Claire North."
"Alright then."
...
Inside the car.
Beau Shelby sat in the passenger seat, turning his head to look at Claire North.
After a moment, Claire North spoke up: "Young Master Shelby, did you find me just to stare at me?"
"Raina, can you not be like this?" Beau Shelby furrowed his brow with a helpless expression, "You being like this really makes me uncomfortable."
Claire North was bewildered. What was she doing?
She was just asking normally, how could that make him uncomfortable?
Never mind.
After all, this isn’t the main point.
It’s not important.
Claire North chose to ignore it, saying: "I’m very busy. If you don’t have anything else, please get out of the car, there are people waiting for me at home."
Beau Shelby couldn’t help but ask, "Are the people waiting for you the child you gave birth to back then?"
"Did you come today just to concern yourself with my private matters? If that’s the case, I’m sorry, but I don’t have the obligation to explain to you."
Beau Shelby looked at Claire North’s cold, detached face and knew that even after five years, she hadn’t forgiven him.
Beau Shelby’s heart was filled with mixed emotions, many unspeakable feelings, he was helpless: "Raina, avoiding things doesn’t solve them. Everyone has to grow up. No one can avoid growing up, even children don’t have the right to be forever willful."
Claire North remained silent, after a while, she turned to Beau Shelby: "So, you came today to preach to me?"
"You..." Beau Shelby was even more helpless: "Since you don’t want to hear this, I’ll be direct. Raina, why did you do those things? You said you would bless me and Claire, yet you first schemed against Claire at the banquet, and later spread her... photos everywhere. Is this your blessing? Does this kind of revenge really make you happier? Or do you really think this can separate me and Claire?"
Claire North felt she was hearing a joke.
She schemed against Claire North at the banquet?
That’s got to be the wrong way around!
If Claire North hadn’t used such despicable means first, no matter how much she hated Claire North, she wouldn’t have chosen to do this.
As for the scandalous photos, though it wasn’t her intent, once she knew about them, she didn’t want to stop it.
She’s not a saint. Others want to ruin her, but she graciously says they didn’t hurt her enough.
Sorry, she’s not that cheap.
Looking at Beau Shelby’s angry appearance, Claire North suddenly understood: "Claire North should have refused the Shelby Family’s proposal, and clearly stated she wouldn’t marry you."
Beau Shelby became agitated at once: "You’ve ruined Claire’s reputation completely, of course, she wouldn’t marry! Her refusal is also because she doesn’t want our relationship to be worn away by those strange looks until there’s nothing left. Raina, is this what you want to see? Does this really make you happy?"
"You say this is what I want to see?" Claire North suddenly couldn’t help but laugh: "It seems you really didn’t take my words to heart."
"What did you say?"
"That’s not important," Claire North said blandly, "What’s important is that you’ve already made up your mind. So, whatever I say doesn’t matter."
"Raina..."
"Alright, get out of the car. It’s not a good look for us to be in the car alone for too long," Claire North cast a sidelong glance at him and smiled, "Unless you want Claire North to misunderstand again."
Beau Shelby was unwilling to leave, he furrowed his brow, very seriously, and resolutely: "Raina, this time you can’t get away with it, you have to come with me to apologize to Claire!"
