Chapter 25: Unruly people

Claire was ruthlessly thrown onto the bed and couldn’t help but cry out in pain. With her eyes wide open she stared at Alex with anger, as she scolded,

"Alex! Are you trying to end my life?!"

Alex’s lips curled into a wicked smile, his cold eyes suppressing his anger as he said codly "No,just teaching you a lesson"

"Death? That would be to so easy for you,

wouldn’t it?"

Claire was startled, and a chill ran through her heart. "What,are you going to do?" You saw it yourself, that man can’t take advantage of me, why are you still..."

"Ah! What are you doing? Let go of me !"

Ignoring Claire’s words and resistance, Alex locked her limbs to the bed.

"This is a sprider lock, the more you struggle, the tighter it gets" said Alex.

Hearing his words, Claire stopped struggling. She stared at the man in front of her with wary eyes, her almond eyes slightly reddened, her red lips tightly pursed, Silently resisting.

Meanwhile Alex’s smile grew wide as he placed his bony hand on her cheek.

"Very good. you’re still not afraid of me."

"I knew you wouldn’t give in so easily so I

prepared this for you. If you won’t listen to me, then from now on, you just have to lie obediently on the bed".

Claire’s eyes were full of unwillingness, her eyes teary, but she stubbornly stared, afraid that if she blinked, the tears would fall.

But as soon as she spoke, her trembling

voice betrayed her fear "l also have things that I need to do you can’t keep me locked up..."

Alex frowned upon seeing her pitiful appearance, he couldn’t help but soften a little bit.He gritted his teeth, his eyes fierce, and an sternly said, "What do you have to do?

"Do you think This place is the same as your small fishing village? People here are treacherous and won’t hesitate to eat You alive! Do You think you can bet their kindness with your naivety.

Claire stared stubbornly at Alex, her voice suddenly turning cold, "Yes, l come from a small fishing you can look down on me, but that’s not a reason for you to take away my freedom!"

Alex’s eyes darkened,so deep that no one could tell what he was thinking. Look down on her? How could he look down on someone that he cherish? He accepts that he can acts in a domineering way but it’s because of her that she acts like that .

She was so pure and so special to him, he didn’t want this rare beauty to be ruined by deceit and betrayal. But as he met her datermined gaze, Alex began to question his decision for the first time.The two of them looked eyes in a silent, neither willing to back down.

The next morning, Claire opened her eyes, still unable to move her body. Last night he had stormed out in anger, still leaving her bound to the bed. The bedroom door creaked, and Claire turned her head in purprise to see the butler’s gentle approach.

Seeing that His Madam is awake , the butler

was taken aback and asked with concern, "Madam you are awake. Let me untie you"

After getting Claire’s consent, the butler approached and untied the lock of her limbs she hesitated for a moment before asking softly, "Has he gone out?"

The butler shook his head, "No, the

young master is receiving guests in the living room."

The friends of the young master is here to visit him saying that it’s been a long time since they sat down together," the butler said. After a moment of thought, he and continued to advice in a more sincere tone,

"Madam, the young master still cares about you. He was happy when he heard your concern yesterday. You should know that no one has ever dared to go against the young master’s wishes, and his punishment towards you was already the lightest"

Claire sighed lightly compared to last night, her current mood had calmed down alot. The butler was right. Her behavior yesterday was indeed a direct confrontation with Alex. She needed the identity of Mrs. Miller, and going against was a dangerous move.

However, she couldn’t give up on getting her mother’s clinic back. The problem was how to do it without angering The almighty Alex. She was still struggling with this.

Claire rubbed her aching temples and felt a little anxious. Not only did she anger her husband, but she also completely offended The Wills family. She probably didn’t even have the courage to face him now. Getting the clinic back seemed even more difficult.

Lost in thought, Claire had no idea What to do. She got out of bed, washed up, and decided to go out to clear her mind. As soon as she stepped out of the bedroom the conversation in the living room stopped abruptly, and everyone’s eyes turned to her.

Feeling their gaze, Claire glanced at the living subconsciously, Seven or eight young men and women who were around Alex age were looking at her with a teasing expresson.

Anna was also present, sitting beside Alex with a look of afectlon in her eyes. As the daughter of the Smith family she was dressed up in contrast to Claire’s natural look.

Her best friend Julia, had also come along. Upon seeing Claire she looked her up and down with a disdainful’ expression and said

"I heard that Mrs. Miller has a fresh and

elegant temperament, like an untainted white lotus. Seeing her today, I finally understand where the rumors came from."

"Your natural look is indeed outstanding if you were in the coutryside. But standing beside Mr. Miller like this, it might not be appropriate, don’t you think so?"

"Miss Julia, you’re so rude. You look like you’re here to sing instead of paying a visit " Claire said disdainfully eyeing Julia’s up and down which prompt her to come in sit beside Alex.

The room erupted in low laughter at her words. Julia blushed with anger and glared at Claire You don’t understand anything a for a socialite, makeup is the nicest basic form of respect."

Claire found this even more amusing and looked at Julia with surprise. "Oh, so you know what respect means? It’s a pity your mouth ruined your face, which could have respect

Julia’s faca reddened with anger even more and she continued to look down on Claire. "Do you really think you deserve respect just because of your status as Mrs. Miller? You’re just a country bumpkin who got lucky enough to marry into the prominent Miller family."

Anna covered her mouth and chuckled softly, feeling delighted by Her friend’s sharp word’s. However, she didn’t dare show it in front of so many people and pretended to explain for Claire
