Chapter 474 Jasmine Rescues Zelda from the Asylum

Howard Douglas sat on the sofa, reading the financial newspaper.

"Ethan's startup is a real headache," Claire muttered, clearly annoyed.

"Do you think Ethan's an idiot?" Howard scoffed. "If Daniel had half his smarts, you wouldn't be stressing out."

Claire felt embarrassed. "Howard, Daniel's been working hard. He's handling all the company stuff and is very considerate. Look how attentive he is to you."

Howard dismissed her. "Forget it. He can't even do his own job well."

Claire went quiet.

"No wonder Annabelle's the smart one. She got Arnold and the Douglas Group to sign the cooperation agreement easily. If it were not for her, it wouldn't have happened," Howard said. "Now that she's pregnant, don't even think about divorce. Don't make it difficult for her."

Claire was reluctant. "We don't even know whose child it is. Her past scandals aren't good for the Douglas family's reputation."

She thought Howard cared most about the family's reputation, but he was firm. "At this critical moment, don't cause trouble."

Claire said nothing more and reluctantly massaged Howard's legs and shoulders.

"Enough, I'm not that old," Howard said, annoyed. He got up and left.

Claire was stunned. Howard's behavior had been odd lately. He used to enjoy her care, but now he seemed irritated.

As soon as Howard left, Annabelle walked in, looking smug.
