Chapter 56 Not Fooled

When Matt found the mistress, her entire arm was covered in visible wounds, and she had long growr 

tired of days being locked up. 

Once all the paperwork was done, Solstice Industries was now Claire’s. Everything worked out better 

than expected. 

Matt needed to work on Jeanne’s case, so he did not have time to celebrate with Claire. Instead, he 

soon left the office with Jeanne. 

As Claire stood before the main doors of Solstice Industries and gazed up at the skyscraper, she 

heaved. 

Life was full of ups and downs. Who could have imagined she would overthrow that man after four 

years? 

Just as her emotions started to get the best of her, her phone rang. Pulling out her phone, she 

looked down at the screen to find that the caller was from a stranger. 

After a moment of thought, she answered it. “Hello?” 

“It’s me, Claire.” 

The person who spoke sounded like a somewhat familiar middle–aged woman, but Claire could not nar 

the speaker no matter how hard she tried. 

When she did not speak after a few moments, the caller broke the silence by introducing herself. “I’m 

Evelyn. Evelyn Vanderbilt.” 

Evelyn? 

It was Xander’s mother! 

Why would she call Claire? 

Was it because of the 10% shares? 

Claire calmly smiled as she politely responded, “Hello, Mrs. Evelyn.” 

“Are you free to meet right now?”

Claire neither liked nor disliked Evelyn. If not for the fact that Claire’s mother knew Evelyn, Claire would never know who this high and mighty woman even was. 

Whether they were from the main family or the branch family, Vanderbilt women were all born with ar inherent aura of superiority that kept ordinary people at bay. 

Claire, however, was not afraid. “Sure. Send me the location. I’ll be there.” 

In the corner of an upscale café sat a woman. 

She was dressed in an extravagant and fashionable outfit. Even the purse resting beside her arm was 

an expensive limited–edition model from a luxury brand. 

There was not a single wrinkle on her well–cared–for face. She looked so elegant and noble with how 

proper her posture was. 

Claire instantly spotted her upon entering the cafe and fearlessly walked over. 

“I’ve ordered a cappuccino for you.” 

Evelyn shot a look at the cup of coffee placed on the table across from her to indicate for Claire to 

sit down. 

Claire placed her bag to the side and sat down before taking a sip of the coffee. It tasted fine. 

Evelyn did not waste a single moment on pleasantries or small talk and instead went straight to the point. “Claire, I will not agree to cancel your engagement with Xander.” 

Thank goodness Claire had already swallowed her mouthful of coffee. Otherwise, she might have spat it 

back out. 

“Haha!” She burst out laughing from anger. “You didn’t object to it when Xander got together with Clarissa, but now you object to breaking off the engagement when I have 10% of the Morgan Group 

shares. Are you out of your mind?” 

Nobody involved was a fool. Claire would never assume Evelyn was objecting to canceling the 

engagement just because she liked Claire over Clarissa. 

“By the time I found out about Xander and Clarissa. you had vanished 

15–tran 

Despite how harsh Claire’s response was. Evelyn remained unfazed. Her beautifully manicured fingers 

curled around her coffee cup as she elegantly lifted it up for a sip. 

Then, the placed the cup of coffee back down before casually resting her hand on her knee. She looked 

so dignified that the people sitting nearby could not help but watch her. 

“Claire, I know you’re angry about what happened. Xander had betrayed you, but your mother arrange 

for you to marry him. I was instructed to look after you just before she passed away. It was fine if 

the engagement was canceled. I can just accept you in as my goddaughter, but Clarissa… I don’t 

like that girl!” 

Claire frowned. Just as she was about to speak, Evelyn decisively interrupted her. “I can forgive her 

for wrecking your relationship with Xander, but she conspired with the Donovans to hurt you. I will 

never allow a cruel and vulgar woman like her to marry into the Morgans!” 

Realization finally dawned on Claire. Evelyn had not stopped Xander from getting together with 

Clarissa because she did not know what actually happened. Now that she knew what happened, she 

objected to the cancelation. 

At least, Evelyn was a woman with morals. 

Still, so what? 

“Ms. Evelyn, a man who had cheated is like a hundred–dollar bill that had fallen into the toilet 

where the mere thought of picking it out of the toilet feels disgusting. Coincidentally, I don’t 

really need it, so I don’t care if I lose it.” 

Evelyn lowered her eyes to gaze down at her delicate nails. Surprisingly, she was not at all angry to 

hear her son being compared to something that had been stained with poop. 

As she was still certain of her victory, she merely responded with an arrogant chuckle. “Claire, I’m 

sure you know that the second largest shareholder in Alpha Ventures holds 25% of all shares while you 

and your father only hold 51%. Do you know who that person is?” 

Claire’s hands clenched tightly into fists under the table. If Evelyn were asking her that, it meant 

there could only be one answer–Evelyn was the second largest shareholder. 

How did things end up like this? 

It was clear from the look in Claire’s eyes that she had guessed what the answer was. Evelyn smirked in satisfaction. “Alpha Ventures will only truly be yours if you marry Xander. I know you have always
