Rebirth Into My Second Chance

Chapter 240

Chapter 240

Claude seemed rooted to the spot at the doorstep, and for the life of me, I couldn't recall the last time I had seen him.

"You made it. Where's Kate?"

At my question, he furrowed his brows slightly, probably not expecting my first inquiry to be about my former arch-nemesis Kate instead of how he was doing. "She's tied up at the moment, took off to Serenity Bluff with Hannah."

I stepped back to let him in, but he didn't move forward. "Claire, I'll definitely help you with this, consider it making amends for past mistakes." As he spoke, he pulled out a cell phone from his pocket. "This is a new phone, new number. I've saved my and Kate's numbers in it, plus my uncle's. Just a heads up, my uncle might be unreachable for now."

A pang of anxiety hit me, feeling like everything was falling apart.

"Don't panic. Ronald has already headed to Elmwood Springs. The old guard at the Hilton family somehow got wind my uncle was there. They're planning a shareholders' meeting tomorrow, but I'll make sure the Hilton legacy stands firm."

His resolve was as strong as ever, fearless in the face of adversity, except when it came to matters involving me. Back then, he had only trusted Kate, but he was clear-headed and sharp in every other aspect.
