Edward accompanied Clarice to the door but did not enter with her. Instead, he watched her enter, then turned and got into the car, heading to an unknown location. As soon as Clarice entered the house, she could faintly hear the sounds of people arguing on the second floor. Before she could ask Beatrice what had happened, she saw her father-in-law, Filippo, descending the stairs with an irritated expression. Without even giving her a chance to greet him, he stormed out of the house. Upstairs, a scream came from the master bedroom.Not knowing what had happened, Clarice followed the sobs towards the master bedroom on the second floor. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Beatrice kneeling on the floor cleaning up the mess, while her mother-in-law, Gretta, sat on the bed, crying with her face covered.Thinking about Filippo's expression when he left, Clarice was almost sure it was her in-laws who had fought, but why? Although she hadn't been in the Murray family for long, and from w

"What's happening with her? Didn't she hate my father-in-law? Why did they end up together again?" Clarice still couldn't grasp how these two people could suddenly see eye to eye.After hearing her question, Julia looked left and right to confirm that there wasn't a single employee nearby before whispering."You didn't hear? She didn't know what to say to Roberto, so he decided to break off the engagement. That little girl saw there was no hope on his side, and with her father instigating her and her father-in-law pursuing her, she might have created images in her head...""So you're saying it's because Roberto gave up on her that she's like this?"If that were really the case, it meant that Samanta also didn't want to marry Filippo. After all, she was a young woman, and what young woman would want to be with a man who could be her father?"That's not all. I think she's very vain, probably doing this because she's jealous that you married into the Murray family. However, I must say, t

"Never mind, if you can come to meet me, I won't be angry. Please, don't be like this in the future; you know how worried I was about you? I called, but your phone was off, and moreover, you didn't reply to my messages!""My phone ran out of battery. When I managed to turn it on, there were many missed calls and notifications. I couldn't read them, so I might have ignored your calls.""So that's it. I was thinking at that time, why did you run away because you didn't want to buy me a gift?" Alice said and laughed."Silly girl, what gift do you want? I'll buy it for you today, I'll buy everything for you." Clarice laughed."You said that, so sit here for a moment. It's still an hour and a half until we leave work. I'll go upstairs to say goodbye to our manager. Let's take a walk, and you still have to treat me to a luxurious lunch." Alice was not polite with her.After she finished speaking, she took the snacks upstairs.Clarice sat in the resting area next to her and waited for her fo

"Is it really like that?" Clarice asked, but she knew that if Nicholas found out the reason she was here, he might not be happy."Of course, Clarice, the misunderstanding between you and the CEO runs deep. I think you two should have a good conversation long ago." Clarice knew that Luna hoped she and Nicholas could patch things up, but she understood clearly that there was no more misunderstanding between them.Seeing Clarice lowering her head and remaining silent, Luna had no more words to say."Then you should sit here for a while; the CEO's break time is usually half an hour, and he has already rested for ten minutes. If you wait for another twenty minutes, he'll probably wake up.""Alright, go back to work. Don't worry about me." Clarice nodded; she needed some time to carefully think about what to say to Nicholas now and how to explain Edward to him.After Luna left, Clarice was the only person left in the vast office. She leaned back on the s

Clarice knew Edward was here and fought with all her might, but the more she panicked, the less Nicholas wanted to let her go. A pair of large hands held her in his embrace, his lips pressed against hers. Clarice wanted to scream, but her lips were sealed; she couldn't make a sound and immediately broke into a sweat.There were three knocks on the door, probably because no one answered, so Edward made his own move and opened the office door. What caught his attention were two people fighting on the couch. The moment Clarice saw Edward's figure entering through the door, she bit Nicholas's lips hard.The moment Nicholas saw the door, he immediately let her go. Clarice bit him. His expression showed pain, but his face revealed a smile. Edward's face turned pale. He took a few steps and ran directly to the side of the sofa, then reached out and pulled Clarice from his embrace, looking coldly at Nicholas."Nicholas, you better explain to me what you did to my wife n
