Chapter 576: Howard is Going to Get Rid of Claire

That night, Howard got Claire outta the slammer.

On the ride back, Howard was dead silent.

Claire, though, was all smug, head held high, thinking Howard had no choice but to have her back now, no matter what.

Howard wanted her gone, but not locked up.

She flicked her hair, staring out the window like she owned the place.

Who'd have thought Howard could get scared?

"Ma'am, we're home," the assistant said.

He hopped out and opened the door for Claire, his face all serious, hinting she should calm Howard down. Now wasn't the time for their relationship to blow up; they could deal with Howard later, but first, she needed to get on his good side.

Claire got out, grumbling, and quickly followed Howard. "Howard, thanks a ton for this. I didn't think..."

A slap cut her off, smacking her hard across the face.

Claire was stunned, breathing heavy, glaring at Howard with pure hatred.

Howard's eyes were full of rage. "You reckless idiot, those two kids are still part of the Douglas family. I didn't even make a move, but you did."

Claire gritted her teeth, fists clenched, too scared to talk back.

The maid stayed quiet, and the assistant held back, leaving Claire to deal with it alone.

Because of their status difference, Howard couldn't take out his anger on Ethan's mom, but ever since marrying Claire, he'd been using her as his punching bag whenever things went south.

Over the years, Claire had taken a lot of his crap.

In the early days, she put up with it, but lately, she was done.

Claire gritted her teeth, staring at Howard, remembering every beating she'd taken over the years.

"You idiot, why did I ever pick you?" Howard paced back and forth. "If the
