Rebirth Into My Second Chance

Chapter 191

Max didn't say a word in response and just drove me back home.

As we reached my apartment building, I spotted someone at my door. My heart skipped a beat. Could it be Claude?

Sure enough, he turned around at the sound of the elevator doors opening and locked eyes with me.

"Claire..." Then his gaze shifted to Max by my side. "Uncle Max."

"Uncle Max, I can't do it. I'll give you back the shares. I want Claire..." Claude suddenly stepped forward, grabbing Max's jacket. What was he even saying? "Claire, you go inside. I need to have a word with Claude." With that, Max shrugged off Claude's grasp and stepped into the elevator that hadn't closed yet. Claude hurried after him and turned back to tell me, "Claire, wait for me."

The elevator doors closed, and I was in confusion. What shares had Max given Claude to make him marry Kate and stay away from me? What had the ever-composed Max done?

But I entered my apartment, deciding not to meddle. I was curious about what the person who had my blood test report would do next.
