After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities

Chapter 793

"There was a small problem at home," Clare took a sip of red wine, forcing a stiff smile. Tammy and Skyla caused such a huge disaster that dragged the entire Hipps Family down into the abyss.

The more Clare thought about it, the angrier he became. His fingers holding onto his wine glass turned white with rage and his chest heaved with fury. He wanted nothing more than to rush back there immediately.

But he had signed a contract to be a judge in the piano competition's final round. If he broke it unilaterally, he would have to pay compensation fees. It didn't matter how much money it was; damaging his reputation because of this would not be worth it.

Especially when breaking contracts in international competitions could affect his position in the industry as well.

So despite feeling restless inside, Clare still attended this banquet while suppressing his impatience.

"Tomorrow... just make it through tomorrow," he thought.

Sylvia raised an eyebrow and glanced at him calmly. The Hipps Family had deep roots in Aettosa, especially since Clare was set to inherit their title soon enough.

She knew what Clare had been doing for the past year - studying under Air Force Department and achieving remarkable results - which added great support towards inheriting his title eventually.

In due time, they would hold an inheritance ceremony where Aettosa's president himself would crown him; if something went wrong now...

It might add yet another obstacle on his path towards inheriting the title again!

But what exactly happened?

Sylvia scanned everyone present before sending Franklin a message on Facebook. "I've heard some rumors about Hipps Family's situation here; can you tell me more when I'm back?" The man quickly replied, "I've heard some things too but let's talk later."

Sylvia didn't reply but continued walking around with Louis and Jenna inside the banquet hall while Ashlyn caught sight of him from afar. She took a deep breath before approaching him gently with warm smiles on her face:

"Mr. Hipps... I really admire your talents! Could we exchange contacts?"

This woman definitely wanted something from him again just by looking at her expression - which annoyed Claire greatly!

"I can't." He interrupted Ashlyn rudely before she could finish speaking - knowing full well that she probably wanted his Facebook or phone number or something similar again!

"Mr. Hipps..." Ashlyn looked hurt by his response as she gazed up pitifully into those handsome eyes of hers once more. "I haven't finished speaking yet! All I want is your Facebook!"

"I'm sorry, but you're not my type." Clare's face was grim. He was already in a bad mood, and this woman just had to come and provoke him.
