The Billionaire’s Surprise Twins (Sean and Claire) novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8 Perfunctory Answer

Claire smiled, her eyes curved into two crescent moons. She withdrew her hand behind her back and tilted her head slightly as she looked into Sean’s eyes. “I have no relation to Xander, so why should I address him as a peer?”

Today, Claire had deliberately chosen to wear a white casual shirt to assert her dominance during negotiations with Robert and Xander. Though her attire leaned towards a professional look, in Sean’s eyes, she still resembled an inexperienced young girl.

This was due to her pair of clear, watery eyes that were transparent to the core, free from any impurities, as if they held the purest thing in this world.

Sean had seen Claire in different outfits, from S**y black silk pajamas to casual shirts to professional attire. She could look S**y or innocent, meticulous or carefree, but her eyes always showed her innocence.

That pair of eyes was tender enough to make his heart itch.

He deliberately put on a stern expression. “Your father also calls me Mr.

Sean.”

“So what?” Claire shrugged indifferently. “You’re so young and good-looking.- If I call you Mr. Sean, won’t that make you sound old?”

Sean furrowed his brows. “I’m good-looking?”

This description was something he had never heard before.

When people praised a man, they usually used terms like handsome, attractive,

or dashing. Why did it become “good-looking” when Claire said it?

Claire nodded. “Yes, you’re good-looking. You’re the most handsome man I’ve

ever seen.”

Just then, Claire’s phone suddenly rang. She took it out and saw that it was a call from Julia. She was probably going crazy with worry by now.

Claire waved her phone at Sean. “Sir, thank you for today. I have something to do, so I’ll leave first. Bye.”

She had only taken a couple of steps when Sean’s voice echoed behind her. “How do you plan to thank me?”

Claire stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at him. He had a serious expression, as if he genuinely expected her to express her gratitude.

He actually took her words seriously…

She pretended to think seriously for a moment, then smiled slightly at him. “Let’s have dinner some other time.”

Apart from their encounter at the airport, the two of them barely knew each other. They didn’t even have each other’s contact information, whether it was a phone number or a WhatsApp contact. Claire’s response was rather perfunctory.

Watching her walk away, Sean chuckled softly. Then he turned and walked towards a Bentley Mulsanne not far away.

When Victor saw him approaching, he quickly got out of the car and opened the

back door for him. “Mr. Sean.”

Mr. Sean …

Hearing that address again, Sean found it somewhat unpleasant.

He found Claire’s address of “sir” much more comfortable, both ment*lly and emotionally.

However, he only paused briefly before stepping into the car.

He took out his phone and dialed a number, his voice devoid of emotion.

After Sean and Claire left, the Morgans fell into darkness.

Robert sat on the sofa, his head bowed and his fists tightly clenched.

If he were to really give Claire 26% of the shares, he would no longer be able to secure his position as the chairman.

With just that additional 1%, Claire could take his place.

She was trying to take over the company from him!

“That wicked Claire is being very greedy! She is asking for 10% of Morgan Group’s shares and trying to take over Alpha Ventures. What does she need sc many shares for?”

Alice, with her gossiping mouth, kept cursing Claire. “She must have a wild

The three exchanged glances and stood up in unison.

“Xander, it’s getting late, we should leave now.”

After Robert finished his words, Clarissa said in a hurry, “Xander, I’ll

visit you when you’re available. Take care tonight.”

Xander waved his hand in frustration as they hurriedly left.

Once they were outside, Clarissa asked, “Mom, I heard Mrs. Morgan say they are confiscating all of Xander’s cards and cars, and they won’t support him anymore. Does that mean the Morgans won’t care about him anymore?”

Alice glared at her, frustrated. “Evelyn was just saying that to scare him. After all, Xander is her eldest son. Clarissa, you need to be by Xander’s side during times like this. That way, he’ll rely on you even more.”

Clarissa understood the logic, but …

“But, Mom, what if Mrs. Morgan was telling the truth? What if the Morgans really won’t care about Xander anymore?”

Alice’s heart skipped a beat at the thought of this possibility, but she quickly thought of a solution. “You should comfort him and stay with him. You can consider other options if the Morgans still don’t care after a year or two. You’re still young. There’s no rush to get married!”

Clarissa couldn’t wait for a year or two, but one or two months were still possible.

Clarissa outwardly agreed, but inside, she was already formulating a different plan.
