At the boundary of the city, Claudia had been waiting at the entrance of Wroclaw Sanatorium for a long time.
Irritated by her message, Blair got in the car immediately and headed to the sanatorium at full speed.
Then, a car stopped at the sanatorium and it was Blair who stepped out of the car. She glared at Claudia with anger and resentment. If she could, she would tear Claudia apart right now.
To her surprise, Claudia had Kim by her side.
Since she couldn’t speak, she brought Kim here to speak for her.
“Stop playing charades, Claudia. You are the one who has been scheming again the Evans Group and Eric, aren’t you?”
Claudia looked at her indifferently.
Blair was behaving just as she expected and didn’t surprise her at all.
“Do you have any evidence for that?” Kim retorted.
“She is the only person that knows much about my family! That’s the evidence!” Blair looked at her angrily.
“Well, but why don’t you suspect anyone else? Besides, if you do have the evidence, you can just hand it to the police and sue her.”
Kim said it in a peaceful tone, but Blair was annoyed by her.
“You…”
She pointed at Kim and then turned to Claudia, “I raised you up just like a mother bringing up her own kid, and now you are doing all of these to your family! You ungrateful bastard!”
Blair was so mad that she even scolded her with obscenity.
Claudia didn’t care about it and said in sigh language, “Where is my mother?”
“Do you want Ann?” Blair laughed, “Why should I give Ann to you? You have caused so much damage to my family and now you want to get Ann from me? Go to hell!”
Then, Blair turned around and walked to the car.
But Kim stopped her swiftly and said, “Please be reasonable, Mrs. Evans. Claudia only wants her mother back. That’s a normal request! You don’t want to get into a court case just because of this, do you?’
“What do you mean?!” Blair was shocked.
Kim said slowly and steadily, “Now that the Evans Group is in a mess and the chairman and vice president are in jail, you must be busying in dealing with the shareholders and the bank with no extra time and effort for a court case. Therefore, we decide to make allowance for you and offer you a chance to alleviate your burden.”
Though they caused all the things secretly behind the scene, their words were high-sounding.
Blair laughed coldly, “Alleviate my burden? Sounds good, but what’s in it for me to release Ann?”
Blair had been keeping Ann in her hands just for controlling Claudia.
If she released Ann, she would lose her bargaining chip and couldn’t threaten Claudia anymore. That was not what she wanted!
Claudia looked at her calmly and said in sign language, “So what kind of benefits do you want?”
Blair smiled with scorn and looked at Claudia up and down, resisting to believe that it was this mute who brought chaos to the company and put Eric in jail.
But she knew it was real.
