Chapter 605: The Truth About Ethan's Mother's Death

Bradley's screams bounced off the walls of the deserted building. He kept blacking out, only to be yanked back to consciousness by the searing pain.

Flat on the ground, hands shaking like leaves, he knew no one was coming to save his sorry ass.

Born a bastard, he had no dad and his life was one nightmare after another.

His life was always a dumpster fire. He was never meant to see the light of day, and he knew he wouldn't find redemption before it all went up in flames.

Claire was chilling on the couch with a face mask on when Howard barged in with his goons.

"Cut the crap, Claire. Did you have Bradley snatched? Let him go, or else..." Howard's voice was dripping with venom, ready to tear Claire apart.

"What? I don't get it." Claire played dumb and said again, "Howard, what are you talking about? Seriously, I don't get it."

Howard's fists were clenched so tight his knuckles turned white. "Claire!"

Claire laughed and had her bodyguards step up. "Howard, did something happen to your precious son? Serves him right."

"Claire, what do you want for Bradley's release?" Howard asked, barely keeping his rage in check.

Claire was fearless, holding all the Harper family's dirt and Howard's secrets in her hands.

"I'll give you time to think. Tomorrow morning, at the company board meeting, transfer all your shares to Daniel. You've seen how hard Daniel's been busting his ass all these years!" Claire was losing it, refusing to back down.

She was done playing nice.
