scared. She grabbed Murray’s sleeve tightly and cried impotently as if she wanted to drain all her
strength.Murray’s eyes were dull with concerns. After a moment of pause, he gently patted her back
and comforted her, “Don’t worry. It’s fine now… It’s OK…”Claire stood to the side, frozen, even
forgetting to turn off her phone. When she looked at how Murray comforted Ryleigh, her eyes were
prickling with jealousy and resentment, and she had no idea why her cousin could fall for such an
unpresentable woman. Ryleigh cried for a long time before she regained her composure. She raised
her head and stared at Claire with red eyes, her eyes filled with hatred.“Murray! It’s her! She asked
someone to kidnap me… She said that I wouldn’t marry you if I was raped.”As she spoke, Ryleigh
began to sob again.Face pallid, she glared at Ryleigh. However, with Murray here, Claire couldn’t act

me. It’s not like this…”“What else do you want to say?” Murray bellowed in a deep voice. He stared
steely at Claire with an obvious glint of anger in his eyes.“Did I tell you to stay away from Lily? We are
going to engage. Are you still seeing me as your cousin by doing this?”Murray looked as shooting
daggers at Claire, and his eyes were scary as if he wanted to eat Claire.Claire reeled back and looked
at Murray in horror. She knew how scary Murray was when he really got mad.Murray glared at Claire
and said, “Since Lily is fine, I’ll let you go this time. You’re really ungrateful and frivolous. Go home!
