Chapter 30

Ethan suddenly shoved Claire aside.

She collapsed into the seat like a ragdoll, her body racked with violent coughs.

Ethan glared at her with a fierce intensity and shouted, "Listen to me, this is the last time you defy me. Next time, May and her daughter's fate will be worse than you can imagine!"

Claire recoiled as if burned, pulling her hand back instantly.

Adah's hand hung awkwardly in mid-air, a flicker of embarrassment crossing her face. But she quickly composed herself and said with concern, "Claire, my dear, why must you be so stubborn? Your father was only speaking out of anger. You shouldn't take it to heart. I was so worried about you."
