It was beyond the expectation of Claire and Louis that Henry would agree so readily.
Perhaps others would think that Louis was stupid. In their eyes, Claire was just an ordinary barmaid and there was nothing to compete for. It was obvious that the chips in the competition were several times weaker. One woman and 30% shares. Obviously, the latter was more expensive.
But since he had said it, if he regretted, he would be laughed at by everyone!
Louis generously clapped his hands and found an excuse for himself. "Mr. Henry, you are so unkind... In that case, let Miss Claire stand in the middle. Mr. Henry, if you lose, I don't want you to go back on your words. Miss Claire, I will take good care of you! "
It was only the first day that the two business tycoons had such a fierce collision. How could they not be excited? In less than ten minutes, there were a lot of people gathering around the gambling table, wrapping the two of them in the middle.
From beginning to end, Henry's eyes had never fallen on Claire, as if she was a dispensable existence. As long as he wanted, he could throw away a chess piece like her at any time! For the sake of his own business, people around Henry could understand that he could exchange a woman for something else. So they didn't say anything more. In business, this kind of thing had been the same.
"That's for sure. I will do what I say."
The fight between the two men hurt Claire's heart unintentionally. And her love for Henry, which she had worked so hard to develop just now, was stifled in the cradle.
She thought she was special to Henry. It seemed that she was the one who flattered herself in the end!
Claire took the initiative to stand beside Henry, and she said with red eyes, "I'm really stupid enough to believe that you have a little feeling for me. I'm flattered! Henry, I'm not a toy. I'm a woman of flesh and blood. I'm even pregnant with the child of Gu Family. How could you not frown... "
Claire's words made Henry impatient. He pushed her away and scolded, "Shut up. Don't forget who you are. There is no chance for you to speak here. You just need to stand quietly. "
Who you are? Hearing these words, Claire suddenly smiled with relief.
Her face was smiling, but her tears were falling.
Claire took a few steps back slowly and nodded in agreement. "Yes, you are right. Henry. I, Claire, am your toy. You can pick it up whenever you want and throw it away whenever you want. You are right. Henry. You bastard! "
Claire almost cried out the last sentence. Not knowing where the strength and courage came from, Claire pushed away the person in front of her and ran out in a flash. The people around them were scared to death. They made way for Claire.
Looking at the direction in which Claire left, the smile on Louis's face became more and more weird. He chuckled and continued to ask, "It seems that Mr. Henry hasn't tamed her well... Such a straightforward woman like Miss Claire. I really love her. In this gamble, we... "
If Henry didn't pay any price today, he probably wouldn't be able to get out of the gambling table! There were so many people around him, and Louis believed that Henry would not break up with him!
Henry's face was tense. He didn't see any change in him. He raised his head, stared at Louis and said with a smile, "That's... Of course. "
He admitted that he was a little regretful and distressed when he saw Claire tell him with red eyes that she was not a toy. But what he said was like water pouring out. If he broke his principle directly, Claire would probably cause more killing intent, wouldn't she?
The atmosphere inside was still rising, and outside the gambling table, Claire wiped her tears silently and looked into the distance. The sea breeze blew her blue floral dress, and her thick black hair danced gently.
