As long as Edward stepped in, her scandal would definitely be resolved.
Give it some time, and once people forgot about this mess, she could claw her way back into showbiz.
And Jose—he was just angry right now. Deep down, he must still care about her.
Later, she'd beg Jose for forgiveness, and he'd definitely take her back.
A triumphant smile spread wider across Clara's face.
She could almost see her future unfolding into something perfect.
I'll be the envy of everyone again—the only real heiress of the Tucker family!
Not just Raymond—I'll win over my other brothers too, little by little.
I'll be their favorite, the apple of their eyes!
I'll marry Jose!
And I'll become a shining A-lister in showbiz!
The more Clara thought about it, the more excited she got. She couldn't wait for that day to come!
But for now, she needed to meet with Raymond first.
Clara iced her swollen cheek for a while, then changed into a white dress with a coat over it—looking delicate and fragile. She even did her makeup to look haggard on purpose.
With this look, Raymond would definitely feel sorry for her when he saw her.
At five o'clock, Clara got into a black car and headed for the mansion where her brothers lived.
An hour later, the car pulled up in front of the mansion on the mountain top.
Clara stared at the massive, luxurious building in front of her—grand, like a castle.
Envy filled her eyes.
Tucker Mansion and Mohler Manor were known as the two top luxury residences in Capaville.
On this prime piece of land, each estate sat on its own beautiful mountain peak—a clear sign of just how powerful their owners were.
Both had been designed by top-tier architects and had sold for over ten billion back then!!
If I get to live here, I'll be as happy as a fairy-tale princess.
I have to live in this mansion someday!
Clara straightened her clothes, flashed a confident smile, and walked toward the main gate.
But just as she reached the entrance, a bodyguard stopped her!
"Halt! This is Tucker Mansion. Only staff and guests allowed—everyone else stays out!" The cold, menacing-looking bodyguard in black blocked her path.
Clara's face flickered with anger!
But the anger vanished in an instant. She spoke softly and weakly to the bodyguard, "Hello, I'm Clara Tucker, the second heiress of the Tucker family. This is my brothers' home."
This lowly servant!
Daring to block me at the gate!
I'm the heiress of the Tucker family!
How dare he compare me to a dog!
Is this bodyguard an idiot?
How can he work here and not even know who the Tucker family's second heiress is?
As soon as I see Raymond later, I'm gonna complain about this guy and get him fired!
He's just a lousy servant—how dare he disrespect me like this!
After being denied entry repeatedly, Clara could no longer keep up her gentle act. She pulled out her phone and warned the bodyguard. "Just you wait! I'm calling Raymond right now! You'll regret disrespecting me like this!"
The bodyguard stood straight as a sharp sword, his gaze cold and piercing. He didn't flinch at her threat!
His obvious disregard for her made Clara so angry!
She unlocked her phone, found Raymond's number, and slammed the call button.
Ring!
At the windy gate, the sound of the unanswered call echoed.
Clara's expression changed.
The wind on the mountain top was fierce, and the temperature was freezing. But because she'd wanted to look nice, she was only wearing a dress and a thin coat—she was practically freezing.
She'd only been out of the car for a few minutes, but her hands and feet were already icy cold. She couldn't help shivering.
She frowned at her phone screen, confused. Why isn't Raymond answering?
