The Billionaire’s Surprise Twins by A Young Cabbage

chapter 285: Start with the People Around You

Claire opened her arms and shielded Belle and Jon without regard for her own safety.

Belle looked at Joseph and winked, tugging gently on Claire’s pants, “Mommy this sir is nice…”

“He is not!”

Claire chided Belle, “Belle, didn’t Mommy tell you not to talk to strangers?”

Belle pouted. Her mommy had never been this mean to her in all her life.

As soon as Joseph saw Belle’s aggrieved look, there was anger inside of him.

The kids were so cute. How could Claire yell at them!

“Claire!”

“Don’t you call my name!”

Claire interrupted him with an extremely cold attitude, “I don’t have anything to do with you. In fact, we

are enemies. I’d like to ask you to stay away from my children and not to disturb my life!”

The parents who came to pick up their children from school looked over curiously. Most of these

parents were doing business and Claire had been on a lot of news recently, so quite a lot of people

knew her.

Seeing her being so aggressive with the man across the street, some people intentionally approached

them, wanting to get more information.

Joseph glanced at them and lowered his voice, “Claire, do you want to argue

Claire didn’t want to. She didn’t even want to see him, let alone argue with

him.

She bent down, took Belle and Jon’s hands and turned to leave when Joseph reached out and grabbed

her wrist, “Claire, can we talk this through?”

Claire frowned and shook her wrist, only to have Joseph grip it tighter, “Sooner or later we’re going to

have to clear things up between us, and I’ll just have to start with the people close to you if you keep

avoiding me like

this.”

He was threatening her with Belle and Jon.

Claire gritted her teeth in anger, for a mother, the safety of her children was the most important thing.

Although she knew that Joseph would not do anything to hurt her children, it did not mean that his men

would not do anything.

She took a deep breath, trying desperately to suppress the anger in her heart, “Okay, I can talk to you,

but Belle and Jon need to go home first.”

Joseph was relieved as he knew that her agreeing to talk to him was the biggest concession she could

make, although he really wanted more contact with Belle and Jon.

Belle saw him look over and she grabbed Claire’s hand with both her hands.

It seemed that as long as Claire didn’t agree, Belle wouldn’t see him anymore. Joseph closed his eyes

in chagrin and could only agree, “Fine.”

Claire looked at his hand and he sighed, letting go of Claire.

“Come on, Belle and Jon, Mommy will take you to Gerald and he will take home.

Mommy will be back soon. Be good, okay?”

Belle looked back at Joseph as she followed Claire, a little sad, “Okay, we will be good.”

With not only Gerald but Julia and Mrs. Vanderbilt in the house, Claire

wasn’t worried about the two little ones going back without someone to take

care of them. After helping them into the car and explaining a few things to

Gerald, Claire closed the door and saw them off.

“Claire, get in my car.”

Joseph’s car was parked nearby and Claire turned her head to see Joseph himself holding the

backseat door for her.

She said nothing, walked over and bent down to get into the car.

This was the closest Claire had ever been to Joseph in her life. They were

both sitting in the back seat, although Claire’s body was against the door and she was deliberately

distancing herself from him.

Joseph looked at her and didn’t say anything, his heart aching.

His daughter treated him like an enemy. How could it not break his heart?

But he was not used to getting too close to Claire. Except for the few times they had met before, they

were actually still considered strangers.

Joseph booked a fancy hotel that was owned by the Vanderbilt family.

He did this in the hope that Claire would let her guard down against him and

that between the two, there would be no hostility so that they could have a

He did this in the hope that Claire would let her guard down against him and that between the two,

there would be no hostility so that they could have a

calm conversation.

But it was clear that Claire didn’t appreciate it.

“Claire, I don’t know what you like to eat. Just order.”

“Be my sex slave and you’ll never feel the pain of your past again,” said the man who showed me

kindness when I lost my family.

Without even glancing at the menu, Claire turned to the hotel manager and said, “Just serve the same

dishes you usually serve Mr. Sean.”

Sean never ate takeout, and at work, he usually had food delivered from this

hotel.

So the manager knew Sean’s favorite dishes and he nodded and turned to order

In the private room, it was just Claire and Joseph. Claire was sitting with her back straight and clearly

on guard while Joseph frowned and sat

casually.

“Claire, I already know who you are.”

At times like these, whoever speaks first means is more impatient, and from the moment Joseph

initiated the conversation, he had to lower himself.

Claire sneered without even looking at him.

“Oh yeah? I told you the first time we met.”

Joseph sighed as the thought of that filled him with guilt.

Indeed, at their first meeting, Claire had told him that she was Winona’s daughter, and what did he do

then?

Not only did he disbelieve, question and doubt her, but he even humiliated

her…

“Claire, I’m sorry. In all the years of fighting with the Summers family. Master Summers has cheated me

more than once, I really…”

“So you doubt everything, even if it’s your daughter who’s standing right in front of you?”

Claire finished his words for him with a sarcastic smile.

Both Master Summers and Joseph were suspicious in nature.

One of them was her grandfather and the other was her father. They were probably the most

suspicious men on earth!

How “lucky” she was!

It was destined that she would not get the family affection she had wanted

all her life.

“Joseph, do you have any idea how happy I was when I learned that my real

father wasn’t Robert?”

She suddenly looked at Joseph, her eyes gradually reddened, “I have never been loved by my father

since I was a child. My so–called father hated me and plotted against me. I studied hard, harder than

anymore to make myself better, just hoping that one day my father would see me and finally love me.

I didn’t expect that I could be his pride. I just want to be like other children, to be loved by my father,

even just for the slightest.”
