Claire looks down and doesn't speak.

Bryce gets angry and kicks the madam. Then he picks up Claire and walks out the door.

They are silent all the way. Bryce presses his lips, but his eyes are full of anger.

Claire says apologetically, "Bryce, I'm sorry, I..."

Bryce frowns. "Why do you say sorry? It's him who should say sorry. Now let's go to him."

Bryce puts Claire in the car. In spite of her objections, he drives to Leo's villa.

"You wait for me in the car. Today, I must ask that bastard to apologize to you." Bryce clenches his fist. He is furious to the extreme, but when he speaks to Claire, he is very gentle.

Claire shakes her head desperately. "Don't go. I'll go back myself. I'm fine now."

When Bryce hears Claire say that, he bursts into a rage. "You are not fine. You've got a bad injury! Leo is a jerk!"

Claire looks at Bryce in shock. It is the first time she sees Bryce angry. He's worse than Leo.

Claire grabs Bryce's warm, strong hand. She says with tears and smiles, "Bryce, I know you care about me, but I don't want you to argue with Leo and get hurt."

Bryce claps Claire's hand. "He can't hurt me. Don't worry."

After that, Bryce goes straight to Leo's villa. Claire is upset so she follows him.

"Leo, you son of a bitch, come downstairs." Bryce growls.

After a while, Leo opens the door and comes out. He frowns and sees Bryce. His expression becomes more terrible.

"It's late. Are you crazy here?" Leo takes a contemptuous look at Bryce. "I didn't come to you, but you came to me"

With that, he sees Claire. He sneers. "Claire, are you not a princess? You come back. I don't remember that I agree with you to come back."

Claire is about to speak when Bryce stops her with his eyes. He says softly, "I will deal with it. Claire, just watch. I'm going to make this bastard apologize to you today."

Leo looks at Bryce and says, "Bryce, do I need to apologize to her? Don't forget what you did in the office this afternoon."

Leo's tone is terrible, but Bryce is not afraid. He says coldly, "I have a good character and I have never done anything sorry to Claire. If you don't believe me, I can't explain. But anyway, she's your wife!"

"Wife?" Leo says scornfully, "she doesn't deserve the title! She's just my plaything!"

Bryce can hardly believe Leo is so vicious. He is furious. "Are you human? You bastard!"

Leo puts his hands behind him. "I don't have to be tolerant of the slut and her lover. Besides, it's also my family's business. What does it have to do with you?"

Bryce finally can't help but lean forward and hit Leo in the face with one blow.

Bang!

With a dull sound, Leo is hit by Bryce's fist and steps back two steps.

Leo's calm eyes gradually become cruel. His eyes are frighteningly black. He wipes the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand. "I'm going to kill you."

With that, Leo rushes up at the same time and hits Bryce in the face.

Claire is stunned. What she worries about most happens. She rushes up at once to persuade them, "stop fighting! It's all my fault!"

Thinking of what happened just now, Claire squats down feebly. She holds her head in her arms and begins to sob.

They are suddenly quiet.

Bryce endures the pain and comes to hold Claire's shoulder. He whispers, "Claire, we stop fighting. Don't cry."

Leo gets up, too. He sneers. "I think you'd better stay away from my wife."

Bryce laughs angrily, "now you know she's your wife?"

Leo frowns and doesn't answer.

Bryce shouts sarcastically, "listen, Leo, you'd better be nice to Claire in the future. Otherwise, I will get Claire sooner or later, because you are not good enough for her."

Leo's eyes are cold, and he wants to rush up again, but he is caught by Ling.

Ling pulls Leo and points to Bryce and swears, "shameless bastard, aren't you ashamed here? I heard what you did in the office. Do you want to lie to us?"

"And you, Claire, I was sincere to you and thought you were my sister-in-law, but you cheated. No wonder my brother said you are a slut. I think he is right."

Ling says maliciously. In fact, his mood is very complicated, but he is angry when he thinks about what Bryce and Claire did.

Claire is stunned and looks at Bryce in shock.

She can't remember what happened at that time. Did Bryce really do something bad to her?

Bryce sighs and says, "I thought nobody saw it, so I didn't want to say it. Since you are sure that Claire and I have done something bad, I have to explain it to you from the beginning to the end."

Claire has hope again, but the other two just look at Bryce suspiciously and don't believe him at all.

"Ling, do you know that Claire and Qi were in conflict at the college?" Bryce asks him.

Ling nods.

Bryce continues, "and then they invited Claire to join the student union. In fact, they just wanted Claire to eat the meal they prepared, because there was an aphrodisiac in the meal."

Leo interrupts, "it doesn't matter. After all, you haven't been given an aphrodisiac."

Bryce ignores him. "Yes, but I didn't know at the time. After all, I like Claire, and I don't want to conceal it. At first I didn't notice Claire's abnormality. Ling may saw us at that time. But in the end I found out that Claire had been drugged, so I calmed down quickly."

Ling asks, "didn't you do anything?"
