Chapter 6 A Favor to Ask

If Rosalie were just an average person, all Claudia would need to do was gather evidence.

But Rosalie was the sole daughter of the influential Clayton family.

The Clayton Group was a company with a nationwide reach rivaling the might of the Lamont Group. It had a great reputation and wide connections.

Claudia had once believed Rosalie was as kind and nice as people said. But her ruthlessness in toying with lives shattered that image.

The memory of her grandmother’s mysterious death sent an icy chill from her toes to her head, reddening her eyes.

Moved by her sorrow, Waldron was in pain as well.

If Claudia were his sister, then it was his fault to let her suffer so much these years.

Waldron’s voice softened.

“You can start by telling me what you need.”

Claudia, suppressing her hatred, said, “I want her to bear legal consequences. Pay with her life.”

Waldron nodded unsurprisingly. “To take down Rosalie, you’ll need to take down the Clayton family.”

The Clayton family’s influence and wealth were immense. They would help minimize the sentence even if Rosalie was jailed.

Chapter 6 A Favor to Ask

Waldron proposed, “My family has recently reached a partnership with the Clayton family. If this alliance were to crumble, it could wipe out their three-year revenue. Would you like me to end the cooperation?”

Leaning against a large tree, arms folded, he presented the tempting offer.

“What do you want in return?”

Waldron’s proposal was so alluring. He would probably ask her to pay back.

“I have a request,” he said, his lively eyes focused on her. “Your hair tie.”

What?

Before Claudia could fully process it, Waldron had acted.

He quickly took the tie away from her hair. Claudia only felt a sudden sting in her scalp.

Holding it in his hands, Waldron held it under the sun and examined it. Everyone who had seen him now would be captivated by his exquisite beauty and seductive persona.

Waldron was just too handsome. No wonder some people with deep pockets desired him.

Claudia felt the deal was unfair.

“Just for a hair tie?”

She just couldn’t believe all Waldron asked was a hair tie.

Waldron examined the hand tie again. After confirming something, he grinned. “It’s not meant entirely for you though.”
