The Billionaire’s Surprise Twins (Sean and Claire) novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10 A Pressure

While the pen name C. S. Lawrence had gained immense fame in the online literature community, the person behind it, Claire, remained low-key.

When her popularity began to rise, websites sought to create a special feature on her, requesting interviews with journalists. However, she turned

them down.

Unwilling to relent, the publisher suggested making a video interview, but Claire declined again.

When the publisher proposed using a photo of the author for promotional purposes, Claire still refused

The publisher considered her quite a mystery, while her readers found her intriguing.

Many readers even speculated that the masculine pen name “C. S. Lawrence” might belong to a male author. Since women mostly read romance novels, the thought that their beloved author might be an attractive man fascinated them

even more.

Claire’s pseudonym C. S. Lawrence became increasingly famous as her work gained popularity. The publisher was surprised by its success and no longer insisted on her participating in any commercial activities.

Valeria deliberately tagged C. S. Lawrence and Mr. Smith in her Facebook. post, hoping to embarrass Claire in front of netizens and tarnish her reputation.

Just after the Facebook post was published, it caused a sensation online.

VALLI C…

Within five minutes, it became a trending topic, and within ten minutes, it climbed to the top of the hot search rankings.

Victor sat in the tea room, sipping coffee and browsing Facebook out of boredom. His attention was immediately drawn to the trending topic of C. S. Lawrence. He clicked into it and saw the content, causing him to spray his mouthful of coffee all over his phone screen.

A “puh” sound escaped, his lips as coffee splattered across his phone, and he hurriedly wiped the screen.

On the mist-covered phone screen, Claire’s pure face stood out, especially her large and bright eyes. Even though he had been around Sean and seen all kinds of beauties, Victor couldn’t help but think that Claire was a rare beauty.

The content of the Facebook post attacked Claire: “Hey, everyone! I saw this junior at work today who was trying to get close to my boss. She claimed to be the famous romance author C. S. Lawrence, but I’m not sure if that’s true. She was crying and shouting, demanding to see my boss. Can anyone help me verify her identity?”

The comments section was filled with insults.

“There are many different types of people in the world, and some of them may not be trustworthy. If you are trying to gain favor with the powerful, do not use the name of someone else, especially my idol!”

“Isn’t C. S. Lawrence a man? Is this woman joking?”

‘Although I think this woman is quite pretty, she clearly seeks social status through her appearance.”

“This woman is so shameless! Did she choose to impersonate my idol out of all people? It’s clear she’s not from the online literature community. Otherwise, a woman wouldn’t pretend to be a man.”

Victor wiped the coffee off his lips and stared at the screen in surprise. “What’s going on? Could it be Mr. Sean’s way of dealing with Claire?”

But … didn’t Mr. Sean always leave all tasks to Victor?

When did Mr. Sean start delegating tasks to Valeria?

At that thought, Victor blinked and suddenly felt his heart race. Could it be … that he had fallen out of favor?

Of course, Claire was familiar with this saying. She just hadn’t expected that her crime, in Valeria’s eyes, was being too outstanding.

She had encountered envy from others many times, but she had never seen anyone as envious to the point of hostility as Valeria.

“Heh…” Claire couldn’t help but chuckle. “Valeria, although ‘too much of a good thing can be bad, as someone so clever, I’m bound to outlive those less intelligent than me. As your junior, I’m just reminding you that Mr. Vanderbilt asked to see me. Yet, you’re driving me away and delaying Mr. Vanderbilt’s important matters. Can you afford the consequences?”

“Don’t you dare bring Mr. Vanderbilt into this and use him to pressure me!”

Valeria lifted her hand and pushed it against Claire’s shoulder. Despite her delicate appearance, Claire didn’t budge an inch.

She stood firm before Valeria like a steadfast needle in the sea.

In an instant, Valeria’s anger flared. She yelled toward the entrance,

“Security!”

Two security guards stationed at the entrance immediately rushed over. “Ms. Lopez.”

Valeria raised her finger and pointed arrogantly at Claire. “Escort her out for me!”

The two security guards stood there and watched the spectacle for a moment They knew exactly what had happened.

They had encountered numerous people like Claire who impersonated celebrities to approach Sean. Almost every day, they had to escort one or two of them out.

So, they weren’t polite to Claire either. “Miss, would you like to leave by yourself, or should we assist you?”
