Claire found the statement laughable. “Then you can say those words to my younger sister but not to me. I still need to work, so if you could excuse me.”
belle replied angrily, “If it weren’t for you, why would the projection ads of hendrix proposing to audrey have been taken down? You killed isaac ’s fiancée and he’s taking it out on hendrix and audreys families, and yet you’re just fine, casually sweeping the streels here.”
Claire was stunned. The thought had not occurred to her that it had been done by Mr. Landford.
Mr. Landford…as a matter of fact, it was also because of him that she was able to escape from daniel the last time.
The landford family was the most powerful and the wealthiest in all of the city. Mr. Lamdford controlled the huge landford Corporation, and that meant that he could have whatever he wanted.
Claire had found that out the hard way.
In the beginning, when lewis was rushing to break up with her, not a single lawyer in the city was willing to handle her case. Wasn’t that also because of Mr.isaac landford?
All the pain she suffered in prison was ignored by the prison. guards, wasn’t that also because of him?
Because the person she killed was Mr.lamdford's fiancée.There was even a time during her imprisonment when she’d nearly been drowned in the bathroom sink. She could still recall almost suffocating and the fear of death enveloping her-much as it did with dan at that awful reunion party.
And the reason behind her treatment in jail was just because someone had heard that the landford family had given orders to punish her there. Those who wanted to curry favor with the lanford family had hastened to stomp on her several more times, torturing her.
Claire continued to sweep, ignoring belle’s scolding.
belle was angry beyond belief and rushed forward to slap claire but was stopped by audrey.Audrey! Claire has no respect for anyone, I want to teach her a lesson! belle jerked her hand free.
“Why bother?” One corner of audrey s lips suddenly tugged up. “One of my rings has gone missing. I’m not sure if it fell around here and then got swept up like rubbish. It seems like I’ll have to trouble the employees of the Sanitation Service Center to help me look for it.”
belle was stunned but she immediately snapped out of it. She also smiled and said, “Yeah, they do need to look for it properly. Your ring isn’t cheap. They will have to go through all of the garbage in this dumpster lest they miss it.”As belle spoke, she turned toward claire and continued, “Since you were sweeping here just now, you must know where it is. You’ve probably already swept the ring into the garbage. bin, so hurry now and look through the bin to find it.”
Claire stopped what she was doing and stared at her coldly.“What are you looking at? Go and find it! If you can’t find it, it means that you must have stolen it belle responded maliciously.
Anna who was sweeping across the street, noticed the commotion and walked over to ask what had happened.
It was at that moment that claire noticed Lily dialing a number. Sure enough, it was not long before anna received a call from the director, stating that they had to find the ring audrey had lost, no matter what.
Claire pursed her lips tightly. She was aware that today’s incident was just audrey deliberately making things difficult for her, and now she had no choice but to find this non-existent ring.
A few moments later, their group leader also rushed over. When he heard that audrey’s ring was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, he immediately turned to anna and claire. “Hurry and look for it in all of the places that got swept just now and in the garbage bins that were just filled. You must find the ring!”
“Oh, thank you, Director.”audrey held a hand to her heart. “I would be gutted if we didn’t find it!”
It was a pathetic performance.
Claire’s boss assured her it would be found.Audrey nodded appreciatively. “Then we’ll wait in the car. If you find the ring, inform us audrey ordered gracefully and turned to leave.
“Ah? In the car?” The group leader was clearly stunned. He was surprised that a ring worth hundreds of thousands of dollars had been lost and that the two women had decided not to supervise the search.
“After all, our audrey is a popular celebrity. If she were to stand here and watch you searching for the ring, it would probably only be moments before she got surrounded by movie fans,”belle said.
The group leader thought so too. And probably didn’t want any bad press for the Sanitation Center. “You’re right. Please about your day. We’ll contact you the moment we find something.”
Audrey’s car was parked nearby. Even if she sat in the car, she could still easily see claire, digging through the garbage, looking dejected and insignificant.
“She’s only qualified to go through rubbish,” belle said cruelly with a smile. “Despite how she was so smug moments ago, she still has to wade through a garbage dump now.”
Audrey calmly replied, “Let’s leave after a bit.”
Claires current appearance was making her seem not as threatening.Even though this woman was once loved by hendrix, in the end, she was also abandoned by him.
And yet, back in the prison, even when all ten of claire’s fingertips had been bleeding, all fingernails ripped out and all of the bones in her fingers had been broken, she still insisted that she was framed and that she was innocent!
Why did that woman suffer through such pain and still insist that she was innocent? Did she actually think that if she persisted in proclaiming her innocence that she would not really be guilty? Or that they’d somehow believe her and go easy?Irish was dead!
The law looked at the evidence!
Oh right, best to commemorate it,” Annabelle said and took out her phone to take a picture of claire inside the huge dumpster, hefting broken bags and sifting through all kinds of refuse and rotting food.
belle shook her head. “You’re right. I’m glad we’re in the car and going to leave. Can you imagine that stench?”
Claire did not know when this situation would end but it was clear that it would be impossible to get off work at her usual time. She had also gotten anna and several other coworkers in trouble by making them stay behind with her to look for a non-existent ring.
Claire removed the plastic gloves she was wearing and reached for her phone to dial a number isaac , it’s me, today I’m… there. are some issues at the center, I’m afraid I’ll not be back until very late. Make a little something for yourself for dinner, you don’t have to wait for me.”A strong male voice rang out from the other end of the phone. “What happened?”
Oh, it’s you.”
Just hearing his voice brightened her spirits.
“It’s just… uh, some work-related issues. Anyway, you don’t have to wait for me,” she replied. She saw that the group leader was glaring at her and she hurriedly ended the call. She put on her gloves again and continued to look through the trash.
