Claire stays up all night. She is staring at the ceiling in the dark room. There is nothing in her mind. The decision she has to make has already been made.
The next day Claire gets up and drags her suitcase out of the room. She takes a look at the direction of Leo's room. She stops.
If she leaves now, it will be difficult for her to find her father. She can search Leo's room before she leaves. She wants to see if there is a valuable clue.
Claire puts the suitcase in the room. She sneaks into Leo's study.
Leo is out of the house so Claire doesn't have to worry about his sudden appearance in the study.
Claire takes a deep breath and begins to search Leo's study, but after a long time, she doesn't find anything useful.
She wants to find out about her father's address. In the study, however, there is only Leo's desk except for books.
Claire stays in front of this desk. She observes the shape of the desk carefully. She finds it no different from a normal desk.
Claire squats down and strokes it. At last she finds a different place!
There is a lock outside the drawer on one side of the desk. If there's nothing very important in it, why does Leo lock it?
Claire is excited. She finds a wire in his study and rubs it on her head and then she tries to unlock it.
Claire tries several times, and finally she manages to unlock the lock.
Claire throws the lock aside and quickly opens the drawer. She takes everything out of the drawer.
There is only one document bag.
The document bag is carefully locked in the drawer by Leo. It proves it's important!
Claire opens the document bag trembling. She takes out the document and reads it. But Claire freezes.
Her hands can't help shaking. Claire stares at the content on the paper: Party B is willing to transfer Claire's custody right, supervision right and personal freedom right to Party A at a price of 200 million dollars. Claire has nothing to do with Party B since then. Claire is at the disposal of Party A. Even if Party A makes Claire a maid, Party B has no right to interfere.
There are long terms under the agreement, but Claire reads only the first part.
Agreement, 200 million dollars, custody...
This is an indenture to sell her. Her stepmother Jade sold her to Leo for 200 million!
Good job, Jade!
Claire stares ahead. She is shocked and angry. The paper in her hand is crumpled by her. She wants to turn all her anger into power and rush home and slap Jade's vainglorious face!
"I didn't expect that I am worth so much money. I'm worth 200 million dollars. Ha ha." Claire can't help laughing. She always thinks she married Leo and is Leo's wife. She didn't expect it is just a cover!
If she doesn't see this agreement today, she doesn't know that Jade sold her to be a slave!
After a long time, Claire's anger gradually subsides. She spreads out the paper that has been crumpled into a ball and continues to read the contents of the agreement.
Maybe there's something else she doesn't know.
As expected, Claire finds a bigger joke when she reads the whole agreement.
It turns out that she and Leo are not married at all. They have never been married! Marriage is a lie! It's a cover! They don't even have a marriage license!
It's just a game to sell herself from the beginning to the end!
She is a real maid! No wonder Leo doesn't like her all the time and says she doesn't deserve to be his wife!
Ha ha...
Claire recalls that there is no wedding on the day she married him. She was locked up that day. Leo didn't mention going to the Civil Affairs Bureau. She didn't think about it because she was troubled by something else.
All of a sudden, Claire thinks the world is ridiculous! Emma is dead. Bryce was killed by Leo. She's not married to Leo at all!
She's just his maid!
Ha-ha!
Claire laughs. Tears fall from her cheek to the ground. The marriage she wants to protect is fake!
Just then, the document bag in Claire's hand falls to the ground. A piece of paper falls out.
Seeing this, Claire quickly wipes her face and bends down to pick up the paper. At the moment, she feels that as long as it is in this document bag, it is a big secret she doesn't know!
Claire simply reads the paper. Next second, she is shocked to the extreme. The anger and hatred in her eyes reach the peak!
God!
Claire weeps immediately. Anger drives her mad. She pushes the computer on Leo's desk to the ground. The LCD breaks after the computer screen falls to the ground.
"Leo! I hate you! I hate you so much!" At the moment Claire is insane and clutching the paper in her hand. Her eyes are horrible and crazy!
Death notice!
Claire sees her father's death notice! That's her father's name!
She's been looking for his father for so long! It turns out her father died a month ago! And she never knew!
Leo lies to her that her father is in the hospital now. He threatens her with her father. Ha ha... It turns out these are fake!
Claire just feels the whole world collapse. She is concerned about her father. She didn't expect her father to have died. She didn't see him before he died!
Claire cries and roars. Leo! I hate you! I hate you so much!
Meanwhile, the door of the study is opened from the outside. Leo looks at the mess in the study and Claire crying.
