No Divorce? The Billionaire's Love Chase! novel Chapter 552

Claudia lowered her eyes, hiding the emotion within them.

The pain York had caused her was so much worse than that.

His cruelty was something her parents could never imagine, not even in their wildest dreams, across two lifetimes.

Felix scolded her, "The Ferguson elders might be a bit difficult, but Mrs. Ferguson treats you like her own daughter, and you and Miss Ferguson have been close since you were kids. If you marry into their family, you won't have problems with your mother-in-law or sister-in-law. York even promised us that you two would live separately from his parents after the wedding so you wouldn't have to take care of the elderly. Don't just let your imagination run wild and make impulsive decisions."

Claudia felt a little helpless.

She resorted to acting petulant. "I don't care. The truth is, I don't even like him that much. I've always seen him as a brother. What if we get married without thinking it through and we both regret it later?"

Faced with her outburst, her parents were at a loss. They doted on their daughter, and when they couldn't reason with her, they had no choice but to compromise. They advised her to think it over and not rush into a decision.

But Claudia's mind was already elsewhere.

She said circuitously, "Mom, Dad, if you really want what's best for me, then you'll return the money we owe York, give back the card, and give back the house."

Felix nodded. "You and York are getting married at the end of the month. Your mother and I only agreed to move in here so York wouldn't lose face, so people wouldn't think we were destitute. If you say move, we'll move."

Jessica turned and fetched a bank card from her room, handing it to Claudia. "York gave us this. Your father and I haven't touched a penny of it. You can give it back to him."

With this jewelry, she could go to Gideon Harvest and ask him to connect her with an auction house. That way, she could quickly repay York and move her family out of his apartment. She also needed Gideon to recommend her for a position at the Harvest Hospital to jump-start her career.

With the professional knowledge from her previous life, she was confident she could quickly make a name for herself in the field of sleep disorders.

In this life, she would not get entangled with York again, nor would she waste her time and energy on anyone else. She would work hard in her chosen field and, with her own two hands, restore the Watkins family to its former glory.

That evening, around dinnertime at the Ferguson Mansion, Wendy had instructed the kitchen to prepare a lavish meal. The family was gathered in the living room, waiting for Claudia and York to return with their marriage certificate so they could celebrate.

But only York came back.
