Rebirth Into My Second Chance

Chapter 234

Chapter 234

I had just stepped out of the Hilton family mansion when I saw Richard's Maybach parked there, waiting for me. As I emerged, he rolled down his window, his figure backlit by the sun, making it hard for me to see his face clearly. All I could make out was his white suit, a testament to his current obsession. The bodyguard opened the door for me, but I hesitated to approach, even though I knew I had intentionally lured Richard here.

In his mind, it was his meticulous planning that allowed him to whisk me away in Max's absence.

"Why the fear?" Richard stepped out of the car, his glasses reflecting the sunlight with a cold gleam, mirroring his heart. For his goals, for his mother, he could meticulously plan everything with such depth. A chill ran through me.

He reached out and took my hand. "I told you before, Max isn't one of us. Ever since the day you were taken away by him, I've kept an eye on you. I didn't expect him to actually have the heart to imprison you." I looked down, feeling helpless. It was all my fault that I pushed him into this situation.

But in Richard's eyes, the problem always lay between Max and me.

"Claire, the dean wants to see you," Richard said, sending a chill down my spine, but I still followed him into the car.
