Chapter 820 Jealousy and Plans

It wasn’t just him–Harvey gave her chills, too.

She never imagined all her little maneuvers had been completely seen through by them.

Then Claudia crossed her mind.

Claudia seemed to be close with all of them, and it looked like a lot of people knew her.

But she’d practically appeared out of thin air. No one had ever seen or heard of her before.

Yet now, shortly after showing up, she’d already become everyone’s favorite.

She was the one standing beside Harold. The one Zander went in for a hug with.

Just yesterday, Jaron even asked her to come in as a substitute teacher.

According to Nolan, Jaron had called Claudia several times before she finally agreed.

Last night in the group chat, Claudia posted photos and videos of the students practicing calligraphy.

Keith noticed Claudia’s lesson covered the same material she had taught before.

Except Claudia’s techniques were more refined and practical–way more than Keith’s. Most of the students loved her style.

Even Robin, usually so rebellious and unwilling to listen, had been won over. He’d even washed Claudia’s brushes for her herself. 1

Earlier, Keith saw Robin post a shot of his practice work in the group.

His brushstrokes had clearly improved.

Claudia was showered with praise from all the parents.

A few who didn’t bother with social boundaries even said straight up in the chat that they wanted to hire Claudia as their main instructor–money was no object.

Money was no object.

Keith felt a hot rush of anger.

If she didn’t get back soon, she might not have a place to return to at all.

When Harold stepped out of the hospital room, Howard fell in beside him and quietly briefed him on

company matters.

Harold glanced at his watch. “What’s my brother doing in Fandoria?”

“It’s about that same issue from last time. The project was supposed to be good to go, but the lead over

there put everything on hold again. Says we have to wait.”

“Wait for what?”

“The lead on this project is from our country. Word is he’ll fly back in a few days and finalize a new call once he arrives.”

Harold slid into the car. “So my brother should be back soon, right?”

“Mr. Harvey Cross mentioned since he was already over there, he might stay a few extra days and enjoy himself before returning.” Howard pressed his lips together.

Harvey got to have fun–Howard was left running around handling everything.

Harold eyed him skeptically. “He’s going to enjoy himself? With whom?”

Harvey was a total workaholic. Ever since he came back a few years ago, he’d been completely career- focused, traveling nonstop. What sights hadn’t he already seen?

Howard replied, “He just took his secretary.”

“Secretary? A woman?” Harold’s curiosity was piqued.

“Yeah, a woman.”

“Who?”

“Dolores.”

“Dolores?!”

“Yep.”

Howard started the car.

“Dolores…” Harold muttered under his breath.

Was the person Harvey said he liked really her?

But there was almost a ten–year age gap. They were neighbors. Could Harvey seriously be pursuing her?

He frowned.

Dolores was only twenty–one. She’d just graduated college–and she was already Harvey’s personal secretary?

Harvey might seem proper on the surface, but what a creep…

Taking his personal secretary on a trip with him.

A slight smile touched Harold’s lips.

Finally, he had something to hold over him. If Damian found out, Harvey would never hear the end of it.

He’d thought Harvey went abroad because of Claudia.

Turned out it was all planned.

Howard dropped Harold off at Serene Manor before heading back to the office.

Harold went upstairs and found Claudia still asleep.

She didn’t get up until almost noon, had a light bite, then went straight back to bed.

It felt like Harold had found his groove and gone at her intensely. When she woke, her whole body ached.

Harold walked into the room, saw her deep asleep on the bed, and sat gently on the edge.

Claudia was wearing a silk camisole nightgown, her shoulders mostly bare. One strap had slipped down her arm at some point.

He carefully hooked it and placed it back onto her shoulder.

Claudia stirred awake.

“You’re back,” she mumbled, eyes still hazy with sleep, not bothering to move.
