"Mrs. Howard has been out since she gets out of the master's room." The maid, alarmed by Leo's reaction, replies quickly.

Leo frowns, rubs his temples and laughs at himself. Why does he care so much about Claire? Where else could that woman go?

But almost an hour later, Leo doesn't see Claire coming back, and his face goes gloomy.

That fucking woman, she doesn't run away, does she?

Thinking of that, Leo finally slams his fist on the table. "Everybody comes out! If you cannot find Mrs. Howard, you don't have to come back!"

...

On the other side of the park, Claire and Brynn sit by.

"Claire, let us go back. It is too late!" says Brynn.

Claire shakes her head. "Let's stay a little longer..."

Claire feels sick at the thought of going back and seeing the face of Leo and the sneering smile!

Just then, the sky suddenly begins to rain, and there is a tendency to rain heavier. Claire and Brynn are stunned. Before they could respond, and the whole person becomes soaked.

Looking out in the dark and heavy rain, Leo's mood becomes more agitated, and his face grows darker when people around him said that they could not find Claire.

But at this small place, where can Claire go? Thinking of that, he lets a person continue to look for her, and he takes someone to go another way to find her by himself.

Claire and Brynn are running in the rain at the moment, trying to find a place to hide, but they are getting soaked.

Claire holds Brynn's hand and runs straight ahead, when Claire feels an empty hand and finds that Brynn has fainted.

"Brynn! Brynn!" Claire quickly crouches down to check Brynn's condition, but Brynn doesn't react at all, which scares Claire.

Claire clenches her fist, carries Brynn on her back and trudges forward.

The rain doesn't stop at all, Claire walks more slowly with Brynn on her back.

Claire is not feeling well. Because she is in the rain, her head is a little groggy, and she would have fainted if there is not Brynn on her back.

"Oh! My god." All of a sudden, Claire loses her balance and falls straight forward, and Brynn falls forward with her inertia, too!

It happens to be a hillside road in the park, which Claire doesn't notice, and with the inertia, she and Brynn rolls down the hill.

The more lethargy of her head and the exhaustion of her strength make Claire feel so tired that her eyelids could not be opens and she faints.

Not knowing how long it was before Claire finally comes to herself, she looks around. The rain has stopped, Brynn is not far away.

Claire hurries over and looks at Brynn, who is still unconscious. Her breathing is fortunately stable!

Claire is suddenly relieved, and she looks up at her surroundings. It seems that they are still in the park just now.

As Claire thinks about how to leave with Brynn, a flashlight flashes ahead.

"Mrs. Howard!"

She doesn't know who is shouting, but Claire's side is illuminated by a lot of flashlight lights.

Claire is a little uncomfortable for a moment, and she rubs her eyes and crumples up to see that it is Leo.

Claire has not reacted yet, and here Leo has come fast.

Looking around, and looking at Claire, only to see her wet body and her beautiful figure all exposed. Leo sneers, "I can't believe you have this kind of interest. Want to spend the night here? I don't mind fucking you here."

Claire gets angry and says, "Leo, can you see clearly? This is because I accidentally fell, just rolled to here!"

Leo then looks at Claire, who is discomfited, only to see that her clothes are stained with grass and mud on the ground, and that there are several bruises on her arms.

But Leo, who doesn't have a soft spot for the beauty, frowned at Claire for a long time before saying, "As my wife, Claire, you should know who you are. It is an insult to be so discomfited. It is really gross."

"Hmm, discomfited? Am I embarrassed? I am not embarrassed than you sent me to the auction to be butchered!"

Claire is momentarily irritated and stands up yelling at Leo.

She really wants to know why the man in front of her really hates her, to insult her again and again, and her own mother!

Leo feels pins and needles in his scalp. "Claire, you had better learn to be well-behaved and not touch my bottom line."

His voice is so cold that the servants around him shudder so hard to breathe.

Then, Leo tells the others directly, "You take Mrs. Howard and her friends back to rest." Then, without looking at Claire, he turns away.

As soon as they get home, Brynn is taken to her room. Leo looks at Claire and says, "Come with me."

Claire is scary, wondering if she has touched Leo's bottom line and he is angry.

But on second thought, what is more shameless than what Leo did? He did the shameless things, why did not he let her talk about that?

Leo walks straight into the room without turning back.

Claire follows hesitantly and enters the room. Before she could look up at Leo, she hears his voice overhead, "Take off your clothes."

Claire, stunned and pale, steps back and turns to run.

As a result, Leo strides up, pulls Claire and jerks her onto the bed. Then It turns out he is on top of her.

"You don't want to take it off? I will take it off for you." Leo's impassive voice rings in her ear, and he frowns as he sees the wet clothes on her body.

Claire startles, quickly slaps at Leo and shouts, "Leo! What are you going to do?"
