Chapter 54 Tie Things Up
Through the phone, the receptionist stuttered out, “M–Mr. Anderson, a womar named Claire Donovan has barged into the office with a group of men. No one could stop them. They’re headed your way now.”
Claire Donovan?
The name sounded familiar.
Upon pondering about it, Mr. Anderson realized that it was the woman Robert had sold to him as a broodmare years ago.
He slammed the phone on the table and burst out laughing in anger. “Good. I haven’t even gone looking for her, but she has offered herself up on a silver platter!”
As he said that, his office door was pushed wide open to reveal a woman haughtily strutting into his office while dressed in a casual suit.
Robert was not lying to him after all. Claire really was a beauty. Her voluptuous curves spoke greatly of her ability to bear him sons.
Claire merely chuckled when she noticed Mr. Anderson scanning her up and down with a lewd look in his eyes. She then flung a document on the desk before confidently sitting on the chair across from
him. “This is the contract for a collaboration between Solstice Industries and Alpha Ventures in Belshire. Sign it.”
“Sign it?” Finally, Mr. Anderson tore his eyes away from her to disdainfully glarice down at the document while crossing his arms before his chest. A cold laugh echoed through the air. “Is this how you her for a favor Claire

Claire merely chuckled when she noticed Mr. Anderson scanning her up and down with a lewd look in his eyes. She then flung a document on the desk before confidently sitting on the chair across from him. “This is the contract for a collaboration between Solstice Industries and Alpha Ventures in Belshire. Sign it.”
“Sign it?” Finally, Mr. Anderson tore his eyes away from her to disdainfully glance down at the document while crossing his arms before his chest. A cold laugh echoed through the air. “Is this how you beg for a favor, Claire Donovan?”
Claire languidly smiled. “What else?” This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
“Hah! Are you really stupid?”
He picked up the contract and casually tossed it aside while narrowing his eyes at her with a disgusting smirk on his lips.
“If you’re that dumb, let me help you. You need to properly beg like you mean it. You ran away four years ago. Now that you’re back before me, should we not make up for what you ran out on?”
The men standing behind Claire instantly glared at Mr. Anderson with frigid eyes. They were only waiting on Claire’s order.
The moment Claire gave the order, they would instantly beat this chubby man black and blue until he was absolutely unrecognizable.
However, Claire merely looked down to hide a cold glint flashing through her Jowered eyes. “We do need to tie up what happened four years ago.”
As they were in his territory Mr. Anderson was not at all afraid of the men

Claire bent down and placed her elbows on the desk while resting her chin on her palm to politely smile at him. “Mr. Anderson, is this how you forced
those men to search for the women?”
That was a secret he had kept well hidden. How did Claire know?
As he stared at her in confusion, footsteps echoed outside the room. Matt and the others glanced outside before promptly stepping aside to allow the people outside to head into the office.
Mr. Anderson immediately saw his wife and father–in–law steadily shuffling into the room with the rest of the company shareholders.
He shot to his feet in shock. “Father, Jeanne, why are you here?”
The elderly man’s hair was snow–white while wrinkles covered every inch of his skin. With a hunched back and a cane in his hand, he looked like an extremely frail man who might be blown away in the wind. Even in his old age he was constantly plagued by illnesses and tough situations.
Jeanne Paulman did not answer the question and instead softly said to the mar she was supporting, “Don’t be angry, Dad. We’ll leave once everything is
done.”
Jerome Paulman let out a few hard coughs, causing Jeanne to quickly pat his back while sorrow filled her face. He was so old yet he had to help her out with a family matter. It was just heartbreaking, and that thought only caused her hatred for Mr. Anderson to burn brighter.

Mr. Anderson was confused. Ever since Jerome had fallen sick, he had been in charge of everything in the company. For years, Jerome had been missing from the office, be it physically or mentally. As for Jeanne, his wife was an average woman with no skills. Otherwise, he would not be in charge of the
company.
Now, Claire had appeared before him after four years of absence while his wife and father–in–law were here. He had a bad feeling about this.
“Father…” He walked over to Jerome and awkwardly reached out in an attempt to lead the old man over to a chair.
Jerome smacked his hand away before he could even get close to Jerome.
“I have an announcement to make.”
The elderly man started coughing as soon as he was done speaking. Jeanne tenderly patted him on the back.
Once he felt better and caught his breath, Jerome sighed and continued, “From now on, the president of Solstice Industries is …”
Matt frowned and shook his head. What a cruel fate it was for a man at Jerome’s age to be forced to go through this much stress.
He picked up a chair from behind it and moved it over to Jerome so that Jeanne could help Jerome into the chair.
Mr. Anderson was dumbstruck. He froze on the spot as he had just been struck by lightning and he dazedly asked, “What do you mean? If I’m not the president, who is? Jeanne? She’s not fit for this!”

Jerome was not a healthy man who could handle a lot of stress. Jeanne was not
willing to keep hiding behind her father. She had to make her own decisions.
“James Anderson, from now on, Solstice Industries has nothing to do with you.
Here are the divorce papers.”
Matt promptly handed her a document as she said that.
She grabbed the folder and threw it in James‘ face. “Sign it!”
James‘ face was aching from being hit with the document and he still did not understand what was happening. “Why, Jeanne? Why a divorce now?”
“Why?”
Jeanne cackled as she crossed her arms and sneered at him out of the corner
of her eye. “Let me ask you. Why would you have a mistress and child behind my back when I fed you, clothed you, and brought you power? Didn’t you say you didn’t like kids so it doesn’t matter if we can’t have?”
James suddenly understood what was going on.
His mistress and child were missing because Jeanne knew about them!
Faced with a crisis, James abandoned all dignity and immediately fell to his knees. He did not care how many people were staring as he grabbed Jeanne’s leg and sobbed.
“That witch seduced me, Jeanne! I don’t like kids. I never liked kids! Every man makes a mistake once in their life. Please, forgive me! I won’t ever do it again!”
