Worship The Ground You Walk On novel Chapter 5

The banquet was still going on. The shining lights and toasts made it more thrilling than ever, but Claudia didn't feel like staying anymore.

She felt nothing but coldness in her heart, and she had never been so desperate. She avoided everyone and sneaked out of the hotel from the back door.

The back door was the way to an underground parking lot, where cars were going in and out from time to time, but it was a very isolated place in general, which made it hard for Claudia to get a cab.

She was there all alone.

As Claudia was about to leave, she saw a charming figure not far away. A woman was heading to Claudia, her high heels clattering.

“Losing your man's love and sneaking out like a pathetic cur. Should I pity you?”

Amber walked towards her with a contemptuous look. Her beautiful face was so attractive with a sense of self-satisfaction seeping out.

An unnamed annoyance was accommodating inside Claudia. She clenched her slender fingers.

“I told you that Ben will never have any place for you in his heart!" Amber mocked in the posture of victory.”

Claudia knew that Ben might have no place for her in his heart; however, she was sure that there wasn't any place in there for Amber, either.

“Hello? Tired of listening? I'm just telling you the truth! You think he'll fall in love with you just because you're pregnant? Only incompetent wives would use her kid as the leverage to save her marriage!"

Claudia heard that. Her cold beautiful eyes looked into Amber's eyes. Only if she could say something! She wanted to ask Claudia, "Where's your baby then?”

The woman who couldn't bear a child and wanted to steal somebody else's. She was in no position to look down upon anyone!

Even God was unfair sometimes. He had to make Claudia a mute.

She couldn't say that out loud in Amber's face.

“We'll see!” Amber tightly covered herself up with a men's suit. It was Ben's, well designed and nicely tailored.

Just like how he was.

Amber looked sideways at her with scorn, “I can see him sweeping you out of the fatality! You'll be much more miserable by then! You'll wish you were never born!"

Those words echoed in Claudia's ears. Her beautiful eyes looked so alert.

She looked like an irritated kitten, looking at Amber as if she was her prey, which made Amber very upset.

Amber somehow even felt frightened.

Amber gritted her teeth. She took a step forward and grabbed Claudia's hand so tightly that her nails pierced into Claudia's flesh. Amber scolded, “You little slut! How dare you glare at me like that? What? Did I say something wrong? Should I apologize?”

“I’ll tell you what! He was supposed to be mine! We are meant to be together! We could've been together if you hadn't got in the way!”

She got angrier as she said that. Claudia still didn't draw her cold eyes back, which made Amber even more furious. She let go of Claudia's hand. Before Claudia balanced herself, Amber slapped her right on her face.

"Bah!"

The clear slap sounded so obvious in this empty space.

Claudia's cheek hurt. She raised her hand to cover her left face. Amber was still scolding.

"You’d better behave yourself! We still have your crazy mom under control! Just do as I say if you don't want anything to happen to her! I'll put you in hell as soon as the baby is born!"

After she said that, she angrily strode towards the exit of the underground parking lot.

Claudia stood there with a burning face, which was negligible compared to the pain in her heart.

She raised her head and saw the surveillance camera in the corner. An idea suddenly occurred to her.
