of the workday, she got ready to leave.
Clara frowned as she flyped through a few pages “Jade, you gave me these on day one I’ve already organized all the critical points 2 Jade’s expression soured She hadn’t expected Clara to have sorted everything so efficiently She noticed the neatly compiled file and couldnt believe it had been done without assistance. She assumed Simon must have helped Clara, there was no way Clara could have managed it alone. So she handed over another stack, mostly shuplicates of what Clara had already seen.
To her surprise, Clara recognized the documents instantly
With a small smile, Clara quipped, “Or is there something you didn’t catch, Jade?
Jade’s face darkened. “What are you implying?”
“I’m just stating the facts. The documents I prepared are clear and concise. If there’s something you’re unsure about, feel free to point it
Jade, who saw herself as a strong, independent career woman, couldn’t stand such a slight. She took a deep breath and sneered, “You probably had a mans help with those documents Clara, what are you so smug about? You’ve got all this because of your family’s money If you came from a background like mine, you’d probably be out on the streets.”
Clara clapped slowly, her face calm “Well, Jade, you’re truly admirable. You’re the real independent woman of today. We should all take notes from you Anything else?“!!
“You” Jade’s cheeks flushed with anger and she was momentarily lost for words. “I’m not like you. I don’t chase after men. I’ve earned everything I have on my own.”
Clara glanced at her watch, finally showing a hint of impatience. Tim not interested in your life story. If there’s nothing work–related, I’m heading out
“Clara Jade was trembling with rage.
Clara stepped into the elevator, She hadn’t planned on severing ties so abruptly, but Jade’s self–proclaimed independence and condescending attitude were too much. Her confidence came at the expense of belittling another girl. Where was the independence in that? She was just a more strategic player.
Clara headed to meet the real estate agent, who treated her with great respect. “Ms. Clara, this is the finest development in the area, with excellent security. Only residents can bring guests.
The property was indeed impressive. It was not far from the Ferguson Corporation, offering a tranquil haven amidst the bustling city. But even with her recent windfall, it was still beyond her budget.
“Well, this is too pricey for me.
Just as she said that, she noticed another agent approaching with Quinn and Naomi. The agent was enthusiastic. “The villa here may be compact, but it’s surrounded by shopping areas. It’s safe and convenient, perfect for a single woman.“X
Naomi held Quinn’s hand, her voice full of concern. “This villa is only about three hundred square meters, and the garden is small. Are you sure you want to buy here? I can get you something better“}
Quinn’s face was all smiles. “Mom, I love it. Three hundred square meters is more than enough for me, and it’s close to Simon’s office. I can drop by anytime I
As she spoke, she noticed Clara across the way and looked surprised. “Clara, are you here to look at houses too?”
Naomi finally spotted Clara and immediately furrowed her brows. “What are you doing here? Are you here to stir up trouble because you saw me buying a house for Quinn?“%
