Watching Claire standing there in a trance, Henry smiled faintly. He said three words with a menacing look in his eyes, "Let's do it."
Claire didn't realize that his seemingly simple words had sentenced her to death.
Right on cue, Henry's entourage forcibly picked Claire up. For the first time since they met, Henry finally had the time to observe Claire. Her thick, black hair was tied up, revealing her pure white skin, which added an invisible allure to her.
For a woman who appeared to be weak, she had dared to raise her voice at him just moments ago. He didn't know if it was because she was bold, or she was ignorant of his power.
Henry didn't allow his expression to reveal his thoughts. He continued looking at Claire indifferently.
She had deliberately killed his first child, so he would force her to become a surrogate, and compensate him for his child!
"I didn't do anything! Put me down, put me down...!"
Before Claire could finish, she was thrown into Henry's car by his subordinate. She had no chance to escape.
Half an hour later, Claire and Henry arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau. Henry seemed to have made an appointment in advance because as soon as they entered, an officious person came out to welcome them. He happily led them inside. Claire was a little stunned.
Henry pointed to an agreement document on the desk and commanded her, "Sign it!"
"What signature? Why? Wait a minute. I don't want to. I said..." she sputtered but nobody paid heed to her protests.
Before she knew it, her pink hand was pressed down into the ink pad and then onto the document. And just like that, they were married! This day had been so surreal for Claire. She had been living a regular life, but now her fate had changed forever!
The staff hurriedly handed the marriage license to Henry and Claire and blessed them. "Here is your marriage certificate. If you need any help, you can come to us at any time!"
It was just a sheet of paper but when the marriage certificate fell into Claire's hand, it felt like it weighed a ton. She wanted to pinch herself to see if this was all a dream. Did she just get bound to this man for the rest of her life? It all happened so fast that she could do nothing to stop it. Like a pig destined to be slaughtered, she had no hope.
Desperate to get out of this situation, Claire smiled and said, "Sir, just think about it. Look at me. I don't have a beautiful figure or face. My family is very poor, and my father has many debts. This is not good for your reputation. How about we end things mutually and peacefully?"
All Henry had to do was nod and she would run in the opposite direction as fast as she could!
Looking at the eagerness in Claire's eyes, Henry sneered, turned around, and strode out, leaving her gaping after him. Henry was fascinated by this woman. While other women tried their best to get close to him, Claire avoided him as if he were the God of the plague.
Seeing that Henry was about to get into the car, Claire plucked the courage she didn't know she had and marched towards the car.
She got into the passenger seat and asked, "You are the CEO of a huge company. There must be so many women dying to have children with you. Why are you marrying me instead of picking one of them? There is no advantage of marrying me!"
Henry merely smiled mysteriously in reply. Just as she opened her mouth to debate further, he stepped on the gas, making her shut up. She wondered where he was zooming off to with her in tow.
Suddenly, his mobile phone vibrated. Henry glanced at the time and cut the call. He had decided to take his new wife back to the Gu Family!
However, Molly had just had a miscarriage. If Henry went back home with this woman, it would cause quite a scandal, and then the Mu and Gu families would give him hell.
