Claire snorted. A fair competition? In Rita's eyes, Claire was never the recognized young mistress of the Jiang family. However, she was no longer the Claire she used to be. "I don't know what kind of fair competition Miss Rita means, as Chason is originally my husband."
Maybe she had learned a lot from Chason after staying with him for a long time. No matter how anxious and worried she was, she must hide her panic when facing an opponent who was actually stronger than her.
At least, she had to be mentally stronger than her opponent.
As expected, Claire's reply made Rita obviously stunned. She already had little patience to continue spending time with Claire. She picked up her bag and said with some disdain, "let's wait and see."
Looking at the back of Rita who was walking away in high heels, Claire sat on the sofa. She was not as calm and composed as before, and her palms were sweating slightly. Yes, she couldn't find any reason to refute what Rita had just said, could she?
She just wanted to fight against this mistress with her last bit of pathetic self-esteem. No, at a certain moment, Claire even had an illusion, she and Rita who was the little mistress?
She believed that Chason loved her. She even believed that Chason would remember all his promises and be responsible for their marriage to the end. However, if he knew why Rita had left him, would he be hesitant?
Claire smiled bitterly. He was starting to sway, wasn't he? Otherwise, he would not ignore her birthday message. Even if it was because Gina was sick, what she saw was that he was celebrating his birthday with another woman in the hospital, wasn't it?
Gina didn't seem to be in poor health as Chason worried. She looked much better soon. Noticing that Gina seemed to be fine, Chason greeted the medical staff while she was asleep and rushed out to look for Claire.
He called Claire several times, but her phone was powered off. He was very anxious, and suddenly received a call from Frank. "Mr. Chason, I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter?" Wasn't the flowers in the villa fine when he went to see them a few days ago?
Frank hesitated for a while and said, "Mrs. Claire doesn't seem to be in a good mood." As a gardener, he shouldn't have meddled in the affairs of Chason and Claire, but this was also what Chason had specially told him. Of course, not only did Chason tell him, but all the servants in the Jiang family knew this. If there was something wrong with Mrs. Claire, they must report it to Mr. Chason.
Chason was stunned, "how do you know?"
"Mrs. Claire came to the villa not long ago. I called you at the first time, but your phone..." Frank said awkwardly.
Chason took a look at his phone and found that there were indeed several missed calls from Frank. "What's wrong with her?" His heart skipped a beat.
