New beginning: Billionaire love story

Chapter 462

Chapter 462 Disliking Frank

Claire didn't have much time to think. As she made her way back to her car, the skies above darkened ominously, and just as she slid into the driver's seat, the rain began to pour.

It was as if the heavens were mirroring the storm inside her mind-a constant swirl of emotions she couldn't quite untangle. The wipers cleared the windshield, but they didn't quite manage to clear the cloudiness in her thoughts.

She started the car and slowly pulled out of the cemetery, her tires crunching against the wet gravel. The streets outside were quiet, and the rain was relentless, blurring the world outside her windows into a muted wash of grays.

Claire felt the weight of the day-of everything she had faced in the past weeks-pressing down on her. But despite the heaviness in her chest, she focused on the road ahead, driving back to Metacortex with one goal mind: she needed to get back to work.

Robert Robertson, far away in his office at the Venus AMD building, had other plans. He sat in a large leather chair, the glow of his computer screen casting an eerie light on his face. His fingers tapped idly against the desk as his mind raced.

He had just received a call from the person he had hired months ago to keep an eye on Claire. The news was significant-Claire had visited the cemetery of her parents, something that had remained a mystery to him until now. It was a small victory for Robert, a piece of the puzzle he had been working on for so long, and he couldn't help but feel a rush of satisfaction.

Claire Peterson's life had always been a game to him, and he was always one step ahead, watching, waiting. He was playing the long game. But now, with her parents' resting place discovered, he could tighten his grip.

He grabbed his phone and dialed the number of the man who had given him the update.

"Keep an eye on her, but be subtle," Robert said into the receiver. "I don't want her catching on that we're watching her. Keep it lowkey."

His voice was calm, but there was a palpable edge to it. Robert wasn't one to leave anything to chance, especially with someone like Claire. He had waited years to finally get close enough to disrupt her life, and he wasn't about to let her slip from his grasp now.
