Chapter 3 Three Days and Nights
That man …
Claire furrowed her brows. Four years had passed, and she couldn’t remember
his face or even the name she saw on his ID card before she left.
For her, that man was just a passing stranger in her life, an irrelevant person. She would never waste her brain cells trying to remember him.
She chuckled self-deprecatingly and gazed up at the ceiling. “It’s been four years. He might be married with children by now, or maybe he already had a family back then. Even if we met again, what would it change? That night was just a mistake. Who would even remember me?”
Julia nodded, finding her words quite reasonable.
Lying on the bed, Julia and Claire looked up at the ceiling. “Claire, I’ve always wanted to ask why you chose the pen name C. S. Lawrence? It sounds like a man’s name. Is there any special meaning to it?”
Claire placed her hand on her forehead. After a flight lasting over ten
hours, she was exhausted and wanted to sleep.
Her voice was soft and faint, barely audible. “I didn’t think much of it. H just had a feeling that this pen name would become popular.”
Since getting on the plane, Victor had felt that something was off with Mr.
Sean.
The man, who had always been expressionless, especially in the past four years,

was now smiling! This was a rare sight, as he had never been seen smiling before.
Though it wasn’t a blatantly obvious laugh, the corners of his thin lips were lifted, giving the impression that he was pleased.
Victor mustered up his courage and asked hesitantly, “Mr. Sean, did something good happen to you today?”
Sean wore a meticulously tailored black suit with a crisp white shirt underneath. A light gray tie hung perfectly in place, exuding an air of refinement and nobility that befit a successful man.
Leaning against the spacious seat, he rested his arm on the armrest, his fingers lightly propping up his stern face. The arc of his lips deepened suddenly. “She’s back.”
She?
Victor was bewildered. “Who is she?”
Sean didn’t reply. He just gave Victor a quick, uninterested look.
Victor was taken aback, realizing that Sean was looking at him with a gaze that wasn’t cold and piercing for the first time.
It didn’t take long for Victor to figure it out. The person who could bring Mr. Sean such joy, could it be…
“Mr. Sean, is, is …” His excitement was evident in his wide eyes. “Is it Claire?”
Sean mummbled in affirmation, tapping his thigh lightly.

She not only returned, but she also called him “Sir.”
Heh… interesting, very interesting.
Victor was so excited that he could barely contain himself. He practically vibrated with energy as he said, “This is great news! She’s finally back. Once we deal with her, we can go back to Ascalon. Mrs. Vanderbilt will be so thrilled to know that Mr. Sean is coming home soon. She’ll probably throw a grand feast for the whole city for three days and nights!”
Sean shot Victor a piercing look, and Victor snapped his mouth shut.
Did … did he say something wrong?
Throughout the journey, Victor didn’t dare to utter another word, keeping his head down and minimizing his presence.
As soon as they landed, Sean gave Victor an order. “Victor, investigate the reasons behind Claire’s return to Silverton. I also want to know her every move in the city. If she escapes again, you will be held responsible!”
“Roger that, Mr. Sean!”
Victor did not dare to delay, and he went to deal with it right away.
Claire’s information reappeared on Sean’s tablet thirty minutes later.
It turned out that Claire was the screenwriter for the upcoming movie “The Twenty-Fifth Hour,” a novel that had topped bestseller lists during its serialization and amassed millions of fans. Even in its pre-production stage, it had sparked unprecedented online discussions.
As Sean admired Claire’s modest talent, his eyes suddenly caught that pen

Victor watched as Mr. Sean’s face changed through several expressions within a matter of seconds.
His face first showed admiration, then confusion, and finally, it turned somber.
“Victor, contact the producer of this movie and inform them that I would like to invest in it. I want to be the primary investor.”
He made a move!
Mr. Sean finally made a move!
Victor was aware that Sean had been waiting for Claire in Silverton for four years, and he was confident that Mr. Sean would not let her go.
Hahaha. Claire, get ready to face Mr. Sean’s wrath!
The crew members were greeted by earth-shattering news when they woke up
The largest domestic conglomerate unexpectedly showed interest in investing in their movie, and they were being very generous, investing a whopping 300 million right off the bat.
In reality, for a contemporary romance movie, without special effects or
grand and intense scenes, this much money wasn’t necessary at all.
It would be foolish not to invest money that is just sitting there, so of course, the producers welcomed the investment.

However, the conglomerate had one condition, all the crew members must take a three-day break before resuming work.
“We got three days’ vacation, free food, free drinks, free entertainment, and even money! This is like winning the lottery!”
