Chapter 35 Get Angry and Kill me?
Jason glanced at her and smiled. “I didn’t expect you to know about herbal
remedies, Miss Donovan. Usually, people only focus on modern medicine, right? You’re very different.”
She frowned and shook her head. “I studied clinical medicine in university and graduated with a doctorate.”
“That’s impressive!”.
He could not help but turn around to glance at her a few more times. No matter how hard he looked, she did not seem like someone who was old enoug to have a doctorate. He cautiously asked, “Miss Donovan, how old are you?”
“Twenty-three.”
Jason’s eyes went wide with shock. “A doctorate at 23 years old?”
“No,” she patiently explained. “I got into university at 15 and finished my degree in 2 years. I was going to graduate with a doctorate at 19, but I had to leave the country. I did finish up the courses I needed to take while overseas. Despite the delay, I was finally able to graduate at 20.”
That shocked him even more. His jaw dropped. “A doctorate at 20?”
“Yes,” she said, nodding. “I also studied under a double degrees’ program.”
He was amazed at Sean’s tastes. The first woman Sean noticed was actually a super student! Suddenly, he found himself viewing her with great respect. Perhaps that was the power of knowledge.
They continued chatting until they arrived at the hotel where she was staying
1.
“Thanks for driving me, Mr. Vanderson.”
“It’s my pleasure. As Mr. Sean’s friend, you are an esteemed guest. Please visit us when you have the time. There are many more beautiful spots in the garden for you to explore.”
As she was about to get out, he seized the chance to invite her over on Sean’s behalf.
After giving him a wave, she got out of the car.
As soon as her feet touched the ground, three people suddenly rushed out from beside the hotel to block her from going far from the car’s door.
Her face instantly darkened as she looked at the three menacing individuals around her.
She had not gone looking for trouble with them, but they still came to her.
Robert had already found out where she was staying at yesterday, so he had been waiting for her by the hotel door for an entire day.
Alice and Clarissa got up early as well to wait with him from 6:00 a.m. They waited for hours before she finally appeared.
They glared at her with bloodshot eyes while Robert pointed at her and shouted in anger, “You really hid yourself well! Do you think I can’t find you just because you are part of the show?”
As this was a family matter and her private business, Claire turned around and said to Jason, “Thank you for the ride, Mr. Vánderson. Goodbye.”
As she was about to close the door, a hand quickly darted forward and grabbed the car door. When the culprit saw the man sitting inside the car, her face, caked with exquisite makeup, twisted into an ugly sneer.
“Hahaha! Even if Xander dumped you, you shouldn’t do this to yourself. How

can you even bear doing it with an old fellow like him?” Clarissa cackled.
Alice also noticed Jason. While Xander’s finances had been restricted by his family, he was still the heir. That meant power and riches in his future. He was heaps better than an old fellow in his fifties.
She covered her mouth and laughed. “Claire, I thought you were disgusted by Mr Anderson. You should at least get a man who’s way better than him, right? I didn’t expect you to find a man who is even older than Mr. Anderson. What kind of game are you playing? I don’t get it at all.”

Claire had spent the whole night away from the hotel only to return in a car driven by an old fellow. Anyone would think she had slept with him.
Robert’s face turned extremely unpleasant. “Claire, did I raise you just so you can humiliate me?”
Claire narrowed her eyes and pressed down hard on Clarissa’s fingers. With her fingers pinned against the metal door, Clarissa immediately cried in pain and let go of the door.
She took two steps back while holding her wrist and shouted at Claire, “How dare you attack me!”
Claire ignored her and loudly closed the car door before turning around. Her deep brown eyes glanced at the Donovans as she retorted, “It’s my business if I’m being humiliating. You’re here because of the will, aren’t you?”
If not for the will, why else would Robert be waiting here?
He glanced at Jason once more. The car looked amazing. It must have cost a few hundred thousand or even a million dollars. Either way, it was nothing her could afford.
Jason was someone he had never seen before, though.
Since he did not know who Jason was, he scowled and lowered his voice as he said to Claire, “Tell me where the will is now before I get angry. If you do, I won’t make life hard for you.”
Angry?
Wal
Ha!
As if she was scared!
Perhaps she would have caved in four years ago since he was her father, but now she did not care about him and his dignity at all.
“What if I refuse? What will you do when you get angry? Kill me?”
“You!” Robert clenched his jaw. When he saw that the car did not move even though Jason did not get out of the car, his courage grew. “I am your father! What is yours belongs to me!”
“My mother left them to me!”
She interrupted him before he could say anything more. With her arms crossed before her, she mockingly smirked at him.
“She must have known you had a mistress. That’s why she said all her assets are to be donated to charity if I die before I reach 20.”
“Dad …”
Claire took a step closer to Robert and raised her eyebrows. Despite how innocent she looked, there was a sinister look lurking within her eyes. “You- should have pulled out back then so that I wasn’t born.”
“How can you say that?”
Alice stomped over and shoved Claire. “What did he do wrong in siring you?”
Claire quickly grabbed Alice’s hand and twisted it, causing Alice to scream

Upon seeing tears brimming in Alice’s eyes due to the pain, Claire coldly sneered before letting go. Even in defense, Claire felt like she had sullied her hands. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Just pull whatever tricks you want. If I were afraid of you, I would not have come back!”
At that moment, the Donovans realized they have never truly known Claire
