Claire turns her head and sees Leo. She is shocked and wants to say something, but she doesn't say anything.
But Brynn, who sees Leo next to her, rushes over and begins to cry.
"Mr.Howard, do you know those people just scared me so much...I almost died. I almost never see you again."
Brynn says, crying as she pulls Leo's sleeve and wipes her tears with a tissue in her other hand.
Leo is a little impatient, throws her away and shouts, "All the useless people get out of here!"
The maids are so scared that they all fall to their knees, crying for mercy, but Leo never looks back and leaves.
Brynn stares at the maids next to her, thinking that I am not a maid, and Leo is certainly not talking about me.
Then she follows Leo's steps.
Leo looks at Claire and sees that she is still so calm. He has a very complicated mood now. An idea comes to his mind.
Claire, if you are not Jodie Elizabeth's daughter, if you are not so dirty, if you are a virgin...
He shakes his head sharply and Leo forces himself to stop imagining impossible things.
...
When Claire returns to her room, she leaves a message for Kate, who is supposed to meet with her at night.
Then Claire takes a shower and changes her clothes. Then she packs up her things and gets ready to go out.
Leo just comes out of his room, and as soon as he reaches the stairwell, he sees Claire who seems to be ready to go out.
It makes Leo a little curious. He steps forward and begins to sneer, "Hey, Claire, where are you going? It is very late now. You are not looking for another guy, are you? Hmm?"
Claire is pale and frightened, thinks that Leo has misunderstood her again. "Of course not, I am going to do what I am supposed to do these three days."
Then she turns away.
After listening to this, Leo feels relieved with no reasons.
Claire meets Kate in a square not far from home, and just when she finds Kate, Kate finds her too.
As they sit on a bench and chat, Claire tells Kate all about Brynn's behavior at her home, what Brynn has said to her and what had happened to her recently.
Kate listens and jumps up angrily. "How could Brynn do that? You have been kind enough to help her before, but she still betrays you and covets your husband. She is a bitch, damn it!"
After saying that, Kate repeats a few words of abuse, just feel better. However, she sighs again at the memory of their former intimacy.
"Get over it. I already got over it. It's not worth getting mad at someone like that! Besides, I want to ask you to do me a favor today. As you know, Leo and I agreed to find evidence in three days. Today is the second day."
Kate, with an anxious expression on her face, asks, "Tomorrow is the third day. What are you going to do? That little bitch, Brynn must have says something to that man. What are we going to do?"
Claire laughs and says, "I have my own way..."
Next, Claire says her plan, and she asks Kate to help pick up Brynn's stepmother and get some information about Brynn.
After arranging anything for Kate, Claire goes back to the bar of that day and goes straight to the owner of the bar, who is the one who took the photo with Brynn.
The man has something to hide, pretending not to know who Claire or Brynn is. But Claire smiles and says, "I am the wife of Mr. Howard, I can pay you double price. Please think clearly, don't be against Mr. Howard."
When the man hears the name of Leo Howard, he is full of doubts. Brynn says at the time that she would have given him much wealth if she had become Mrs. Howard. But now there is the real Mrs. Howard in front of him!
As the man ponders, Claire continues, "I promise you I will keep you safe. But if you persist, then Leo Howard's strategy...You know the consequences!"
When the man hears this, he thinks it over, and agrees to testify for Claire..
At the same time, he tells Claire that they have a recording habit and he recorded everything they had said that day.
Claire is overjoyed. Her frowning brows are lifted and she makes an appointment with the guy in the bar to expose Brynn's scam the next morning.
...
The morning of the third day.
Early in the morning, Claire leaves home, plotting how to gather the evidence, and on the other hand, Brynn continues to denigrate Claire.
"Leo, I heard Claire call a man last night with a very ambiguous tone, maybe she asked the man to take her away."
Leo glances coldly at Brynn without answering.
Just then a maid runs in from the door and says, "Mrs. Howard is back."
Leo just raises his head and looks toward the door.
Claire walks in with a man, and Brynn is shocked at the sight of the man with whom she is planning this.
Claire stands by, speechless, and sees the man come forward. That man bows to Leo, and says, "Mr. Howard, I visit you today, as Mrs. Howard has entrusted me with telling the truth about the photo that day."
Then the man looks up again at Brynn, who is all over with terror.
Leo, glancing at Claire, nods to the man, beckoning him to continue.
So the man respectfully opens his mouth and says, "The truth is, it was Brynn, the lady next to you, who asked me to take some pictures and then paid me handsomely, so I said yes."
"What pictures? Tell me what she said." Leo's voice is cold and unheated, and Brynn feels scared.
The man goes on to say, "She asked me to take some pictures of Claire and the men, and make it look like an active seduce!"
"You... You are bullshit!! You are insulting me!" Brynn is so angry and scared so that she shouts at the man.
After that, she cries to Leo, "Mr. Howard, you must not believe their lies. This person must have taken Claire a lot of money, a lot of benefits, just comes to frame me."
