However, what the director had said after calling her into the office was still ringing in her ears.
S

tella , I don't want anyone to be hostile to my colleagues like this. And what you've done by rallying other coworkers to isolate and bully another employee...it is harassment."


"W-what?"

Claire indeed served time in jail, but she has paid her price to society, as deemed by our judicial system and the judges and juries upholding it. You do not have the right to continue to judge her or to invade her privacy by airing her past for others, with the expressed intent of it causing unrest in the workplace."Stella  paled.

"Furthermore," the director said. "It doesn't mean that we should look at her with different eyes and not give her a chance to live.

Since you feel that you can't work with claire gray, I think you should quit your job now."

She... she was an established member of the staff! She was being dismissed just like that?! Stella couldn't believe it. She'd done nothing wrong! She'd told the truth!
Stella say something," the voice next to her urged.

Stella looked around. When she saw claire she suddenly felt a rush of resentment. She stepped forward and said to claire, "It's you. It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been dismissed by the director! You should be the one who is made to leave!"

Everyone was shocked. The person who was being dismissed was stella!

Stella are you kidding?"

"How is this possible!"

Stella glared at claire, making no effort to hide her resentment.

She drew back her hand to slap claire and her arm was caught.

Claire ducked instinctively. She was no stranger to violence. But that didn't mean she had to stand there and absorb it.

"Just stop already. The director wants you to go. What does it have to do with claire? Can claire control the director's decision?"
Claire raised her head and saw that it was ryan.
When the other people in the fleet saw this, they also went forward and shook their heads at stella or dispersed so as not to get caught up in the drama surrounding her.

The farce ended just like that stella stalked off.Claire stared at her as she left.

"Thank you claire said to ryan.

"It was nothing. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been targeted by stella in the first place ryan said with embarrassment.

Just as claire was about to turn around and leave ryan  suddenly said, "Is your younger brother really your blood-related brother?"
Claire looked at him in surprise.
Ryan hesitated and said, "I just don't think... you're not like siblings." When he saw her standing with his brother, he felt like they were a couple.

"He's not my sibling, but to me, he is my family claire said.

Family? Ryan didn't quite believe it. Even if she was treating that man as family, was that man... merely treating her as a family as well?

When that man looked at claire his gaze looked as if she belonged to him. That was not how one looked at one's siblings!

"Babe, are you listening to me?" Audrey raised her voice and asked.

Lewis had been completely distracted the entire day. She must have asked him the same question three times now, but he had acted as though he had not heard her at all.

"Ah!" Lewis suddenly came to his senses. "What did you say?"

"What's wrong with you today?audrey asked in annoyance. "If you're going to accompany me to try on my gown tomorrow in this state, I might as well find someone else to accompany me!"

Audrey I'm so sorry. My mind's at work, and I just remembered that I still have something to do! Lewis said. He suddenly stood up and rushed out of the private room.
Audrey couldn't ask anything before it was too late. She was left alone in the spacious private room with a big table full of dishes in front of her.

Audrey frowned. What the hell was so urgent that he needed to leave her alone like this? That it couldn't wait an hour until they finished dinner? He was totally different from his usual attentive self!

Lewis  drove the car and called his secretary. "Go to the Sanitation Service Center and check the address of claire's place!"

It didn't take long for the secretary to send the address to lewis mobile phone.

Sean drove the car toward claire's residence.

Although claire said that he was her "little brother" in the morning, he felt that he had to see it for himself before he could rest assured.

The car arrived at the gate of a community of apartment buildings. The landscaping was sparse and while the buildings appeared clean and well-maintained, there was no defeating that the residences were old.lewis parked, got out of the car, etilered through the footpath for visitors, and warched the spende wouts. After some effort, he finally stopped in front of a narrow door Was claire really living here?

The unit was so small, he wondered if it was atting more that a since nom, and the paint was chippity from the door atro peeling trom the window shutters.

Lewis was about to knock on the door when he heard footsteps.

Subconscious he hides in the shadow You're sade and hooked in the direction which the footsteps were coming from

It turned out that there was a tall figure coming toward him

As the figure got closer and doser lewis eyes grew widen The occasional speculation that be that there was impossible had finally become a possible

It was isaac! It was really isaac!

There was no way it was just a resemblance. It was absolutely impossible for them to look this similar.

At this moment isaac's clothes were still the same as the ones he had seen yesterday. Why... Why is isaac here?!

Lewis felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet, and his body was getting colder and colder.

Finally isaac stood in front of the narrow door that lewis had come to and raised his hand to gently knock.

A moment later, someone opened the door and said, "You're back."

The soft voice and sweet smile belonged to claire.His Claire.
