The Billionaire’s Surprise Twins (Sean and Claire) novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18 Looking Out for Us

Claire didn’t have to turn around to feel Elena’s scornful stare.

She had just eaten many snacks and was no longer hungry. She was craving the sweet and sour spare ribs. At that moment, she set the serving tongs down and turned to leave.

However, Elena grabbed her hand and said, “Ms. Lawrence, you bought so ma snacks. Why do you have to compete with us for these? Put your dish down and go have your snacks.”

Claire frowned. Elena had been quite friendly before, so why was she targeting her this way?

Julia rushed over and pushed Elena aside. Then, she pulled Claire close behind her.

“Elena, what’s the matter? Don’t go after Claire!”

Julia wasn’t strong. But Elena fell to the ground after she pushed her. Those who were close by could see she was acting.

“Ahh …” Everyone eating looked up when they heard a loud noise.

They hadn’t spotted them before, but now they saw Elena seated on the ground, with Julia in an aggressive stance. Elena had been a victim of bullying.

Elena’s assistant was the first to arrive. She helped Elena from the ground as they walked over with their plates.

“Julia, don’t you think you can be so rude to Elena just because you work for

Ms. Lawrence? Speak away, but why did you hit her?”

The assistant was quick to confront. Moreover, since everyone had just seen Elena on the ground, they would likely believe the assistant’s words. Mr.

Smith shouted, “Julia, the crew is like a big family. We’re all in this

together. Don’t ruin the mood.”

Elena supported her bottom with her assistance. Her expression was one of great pain as if she could burst into tears at the slightest movement.

“Mr. Smith, Ms. Lawrence and her assistant are still young and inexperienced in the world’s ways. Don’t blame them.”

The assistant stomped her foot in frustration. “Elena, they physically attacked you, and you’re still defending them? Kindness is often met with bullying, and those who are easygoing are taken advantage of. They will lose respect for you if you continue to side with them.”

Julia was a simple lady with a quick temper. She couldn’t take being wrong any longer.

Her rage erupted when she saw those two acting like helpless victims, and Mr. Smith joined in to lecture her. “Elena, you were the one who attacked Claire first! Could I have pushed you if you hadn’t pulled Claire? Besides, I didn’t apply a lot of force! You fell by yourself!”

“You said you didn’t use much force. So, how did Elena end up on the ground?” The assistant raised her chin and retorted against Julia, “You put your hands on her and still think you’re in the right!”

“It was her fault she fell to the ground!”

2/5

“That’s enough!”

Mr. Smith’s face darkened. He looked at Claire and said, “Ms. Lawrence, you two are young, and the crew always takes good care of you. This drama will continue to be shot for another month. I hope you won’t create too much. trouble even if you can’t fully integrate into the crew as a family!”

Julia was going to complain when Claire intervened. Her eyes became steely as she stepped forward from behind Julia. “Elena, you accused me of being selfish, bút I only took a few pieces of sweet and sour spare ribs.”

Everyone took a look at her plate when she raised it. There were only five pieces of sweet and sour spare ribs left.

“I waited until everyone had finished before coming over. There were only a few left by the time I arrived. I want to ask, where exactly was I being selfish?”

Elena pursed her lips and clutched her assistant’s arm. Then, she sobbed softly. “Ms. Lawrence, what are you saying? Why can’t I understand? I pulled you back and ordered you to take more dishes just now. Julia came up behind me and pushed me for no apparent reason. When did I ever tell you that you were selfish?”

Claire was left speechless.

The actors were, indeed, unique. They brought their acting skills with them everywhere, which she admired.

“Huh…” She chuckled and was amused by the situation. “Is that so? It seems I misunderstood what Queen Elena meant.””
