Chapter 403: 154: The True Face of Scumbags, Laying Out the Plan by Brother Luo! (Second Update)_2
Having said that, Chloe Martin handed all the shopping bags in her hand to Claire.
It was only then that Claire realized that she had made a mistake!
What a mix-up!
She knew that Benjamin Martin would never betray her.
Claire smiled and said, “Thank you for your hard work, Chloe!”
As she finished, she looked at Cynthia Wilkins, “Cynthia, let me introduce you. This is Benjamin’s younger sister, Chloe Martin. She just came from our hometown, so you might not have seen her before.”
Cynthia was stunned!
How could this happen?
No.
Something was very wrong.
The woman who was with Benjamin Martin just now was not Chloe Martin at all.
That’s not her,” Cynthia narrowed her eyes, “Claire, believe me, the little vixen I saw just now is definitely not Chloe! Benjamin, don’t pretend anymore! I saw it all!”
Benjamin Martin had a look of innocence on his face, “Cynthia, I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
“You’re still pretending!” Cynthia was furious, “Was that you at the entrance of Louis Vuitton just now?”
“Yes, it was me.” Benjamin Martin nodded.
Cynthia immediately looked at Claire, “See, he admitted it!”
Benjamin Martin continued, “I went in with my sister to pick out a bag for Claire, and also, also ”
As he said this, he glanced at Claire, somewhat guiltily, “While I was there, I also bought one for my sister. Claire, I’m sorry, but I was afraid you would be unhappy, so I didn’t tell you.”
Claire laughed and said, “What’s there to be unhappy about? Chloe is your sister, and naturally my sister as well. Whether you buy one bag or ten, I’m happy!”
Chloe was very excited, “Sister-in-law, you are so nice! I like you so much! If my mom ever speaks ill of you again, I’ll definitely stop her!”
Hearing this, anyone else might have been angry.
Who could tolerate their mother-in-law gossiping behind their back all the time?
If this went on for too long, even if there were no problems, issues would arise without a doubt.
But Claire didn’t get mad.
Because she knew her mother-in-law’s temperament— a typical rural elder who had come from a difficult past and had completely different spending habits from today’s young people.
“Claire, don’t be fooled by her!” Cynthia was extremely anxious, “The woman I saw just now was definitely not his sister! I saw it very clearly!”
“Cynthia, I know you never thought highly of my relationship with Claire from the beginning,” Benjamin Martin looked at Cynthia, “but Claire and I have been husband and wife for many years, I love her dearly, and I would never betray her or leave her. Please rest assured that I would never do anything to hurt her!”
Cynthia’s face turned red with frustration, “Claire, believe me!”
Claire continued, “Cynthia, it’s normal to mistake someone for someone else.”
“I didn’t get it wrong!”
At this moment, Benjamin Martin sighed helplessly, “Since Cynthia says she saw it, let’s say she saw it. Let’s not let my situation affect your previous relationship as sisters.”
Hearing this, Claire’s anger flared up instantly, and she looked at Cynthia and said, “Can you please stop meddling in our affairs? I don’t need your concern!”
If this continued, Cynthia would certainly affect the relationship between them.
After that, she turned to Benjamin Martin and Chloe, “Let’s go.”
Cynthia stood there, her lungs about to explode with anger.
She had seen a lot of green tea girls but this was her first encounter with a green tea man.
What a joke!
After walking a few steps, Claire seemed to remember something and looked back at Cynthia, “And that Miss Thompson, she is not really a doctor, is she? She’s just trying to sow discord between us, right?”
Actually, she should have thought of it sooner—a teenage girl wouldn’t have any knowledge about fertility, would she?
She just trusted Cynthia too much!
“Claire, you’ll regret it!” Cynthia looked at Claire and said.
Having said that, she turned and left.As Cynthia Wilkins walked away, Claire frowned slightly.
It was clearly Cynthia’s fault. How dare she to get angry?
Absolutely ridiculous!
Benjamin Martin then said, “Claire, why don’t you go comfort Cynthia? You’ve been friends for so many years, it’s not easy to let that go. You don’t need to worry about my feelings; the innocent are innocent.”
Benjamin Martin was still as broad-minded and reasonable as ever.
“It’s her fault in the first place, why should I go comfort her? We can just not be friends anymore!”
The next morning.
Steward Dalton was awakened by his wife’s voice, “It’s almost 8 o’clock, why aren’t you up yet?”
“Eight o’clock?” Steward Dalton sat up abruptly, looking at his wife.
His wife nodded, “Yes.”
Steward Dalton then asked, “What time did I fall asleep last night?”
“Seems like you fell asleep right after taking the medicine. I hadn’t even finished one episode of my show, and you were already snoring,” said his wife. She seemed to have thought of something and continued, “You didn’t cough last night.”
Steward Dalton’s face filled with excitement, “It seems Miss Thompson’s medicine really works!”
He had thought that Viola Thompson was just trying to fool him.
Unexpectedly, the medicine was so effective.
His wife laughed, “Didn’t you look down on her medicine before? Now you know how amazing she is!”
Steward Dalton hadn’t expected Viola Thompson, who was so young, to be proficient in medicine.
As he dressed, Steward Dalton said, “Last time my son went back to our hometown, didn’t he bring back some ginseng and snow clam? Pack some for me; I’ll bring it to Miss Thompson.”
Steward Dalton’s hometown was in the north, where ginseng and snow clam were local specialties.
“Would someone like Miss Thompson want our stuff?” his wife asked.
What good thing hadn’t the Thompson Clan seen?
Ginseng and snow clam were nothing to them.
Steward Dalton replied, “Whether she wants it or not is her business. Bringing it or not is mine. Anyway, it’s our thought that counts.”
Hearing this, his wife nodded, “That’s true.”
Steward Dalton finished up all his tasks and, nearing the afternoon, he took the items and knocked on Viola Thompson’s door.
Quickly, the door opened.
Viola Thompson hadn’t gone out today, so she was still in her house clothes.
She seemed to be less sharp than usual.
“Steward Grandpa, what can I help you with?”
“Miss Thompson, I can’t thank you enough. Thanks to the medicine you gave me, my old coughing problem is completely cured.”
Only those who had experienced persistent coughing could understand Steward Dalton’s feelings.
He was truly grateful to Viola Thompson.
“Steward Grandpa, you’re too polite, it was just a small favor.”
Steward Dalton smiled and said, “These are some specialties my son brought back from my hometown. Please accept them. I’ve heard that snow clam is good for girls’ beauty and health.”
“Thank you.” Viola Thompson didn’t refuse and took the items from Steward Dalton with both hands.
Seeing that Viola Thompson didn’t disdain the local specialties from his hometown, Steward Dalton was even more excited, and continued, “Miss Thompson, if you need any help in the future, please don’t hesitate to tell me directly. As long as it’s something I can do, I’ll never refuse.”
“Actually, there is something I’d like to trouble Steward Grandpa with right now.” Viola Thompson hesitated for a moment before speaking up.
“Please tell me.”
Viola Thompson lowered her voice, and whispered a few words.
The sound was not loud, but only two people could hear.
Hearing her words, Steward Dalton nodded, “Don’t worry, Miss Thompson, I will definitely find out everything about this situation for you!”
