Chapter 46 Express love, I will never marry a woman other than you in my life
Suddenly, the lights are dimmed and Claire Bennett is frightened. She quickly grabs Leo Howard’s arm next to her.
Leo Howard frowns in the darkness but does not push her away.
“What’s the matter? Is it a power off?” Claire Bennett asks in surprise, which makes Leo Howard feel helpless.
Leo Howard says coldly, “Although I am the host, today’s party is hosted by Bryce Family. The leader of Bryce Family is very old now. It is high time that he chose heirs. They haven’t said anything about it. I’m afraid he’ll announce his successor tonight.”
Leo Howard has just finished talking when a light comes on the platform. Claire Bennett sees an old man standing in the middle of the platform. Although he looks old, he is in good health.
He is standing on the platform and begins to speak to the microphone.
“First of all, thank you very much for coming to today’s banquet. On behalf of Bryce Group, I thank you for your support and love. Secondly, the main purpose of today’s banquet is to announce Bryce Group’s next successor, Bryce!”
Hardly has the old man finished his words when a young man comes up on the platform. Claire Bennett is shocked when she hears the name. When she sees his face, she freezes.
The young man on platform is Bryce who grows up with Claire Bennett!
Claire Bennett rubs her eyes again. She can’t believe Bryce is the heir of Bryce Group.
At this point, after the announcement of the successor, the whole scene is brightly lit. Leo Howard looks at her and finds Claire Bennett’s anomaly. He frowns and with some doubts he opens his mouth and
asks, “What’s wrong with you? What’s going on?”
“Nothing...” Claire Bennett is shocked and shakes her head violently. Her heart beats fast and she stares at Bryce on the platform.
Bryce on the platform also happens to see Claire Bennett. They look at each other and Claire Bennett bows her head hurriedly, daring not look at him again.
Claire Bennett remembers her past with Bryce...
She remembers that when they were young, they always played hand in hand. Adults made fun of them when they saw it.
Once Claire Bennett’s aunt asked Bryce, “Bryce, you and Claire are always playing together. If you grew up and Claire married another man, how would you play together?”
At that time, Bryce said without hesitation, “Claire is mine. I won’t let her marry another man!”
Claire Bennett remembers Bryce’s promise to her. “Claire, I’m serious. When I grow up, I’ll marry you. I’ll be good to you all my life.”
Then Bryce disappeared and Claire Bennett got the news that he was forced to go abroad.
In fact, Claire Bennett was not so sad after Bryce left that year because she always thought they would meet again even if she was told that Bryce had no longer wanted her. It was not until Jade Patton asked her to marry Leo Howard that Claire Bennett finally gave up.
But she doesn’t expect him to come back. He appears again...
Bryce...
Claire Bennett is a little upset. Leo Howard watches her reactions coldly, thinking that she is not happy because she thinks the heir of Bryce Group is handsome.
Leo Howard says sarcastically, “What’s wrong? Did you just stare at Bryce to seduce him?”
Claire Bennett shakes her head violently, ignoring Leo Howard’s gloomy face. She looks pale. “I’m not feeling well. I’m going to the bathroom!” When she finishes, she hurries to the bathroom.
Leo Howard looks at Claire Bennett’s anxious figure, confused and slightly worried.
Just then, he finds that Bryce, the new heir on platform, has disappeared. Only the old chairman of the board of directors leads the elders of the family to toast all the people present.
Leo Howard waits for Claire Bennett to return as he handles the toast. He has an ominous foreboding...
Leo Howard immediately lowers his glass, laughs and makes an excuse then turns and leaves. He goes to the bathroom.
Claire Bennett runs all over the way to the bathroom. She looks at herself in front of the mirror and begins to wash her face with cold water. She wants to sober herself up.
Bryce... How does Bryce who grew up with her become the heir of Bryce Group? Does he deceive her from beginning to end?
Claire Bennett shakes her head forcefully to force herself not to think about it. After washing her face, she wipes the water off her face with a paper towel. She leaves the bathroom.
As a result, as soon as she walks out of the bathroom, she sees a familiar figure at the door. It is Bryce.
Claire Bennett is embarrassed. She wants to escape but Bryce comes and stops her. He smiles and says, “Claire, we’re seeing each other again!”
Claire Bennett bites her lips and looks up at the Bryce in front of her. She is at a loss as to how to deal with it. She has to scratch her head and say, “Bryce, why don’t you greet the guests?”
“I am greeting you. You are my guest!” Bryce says with a laugh.
Claire Bennett droops her head. At last she cannot help asking, “Why do you become the successor of Bryce Group? I’ve known you for so many years that today I know you’re the son of Bryce Group!”
If it weren’t for you, I would never be the son of Bryce Group...
Instead of answering Claire Bennett, Bryce mutters, “I didn’t expect you to marry Leo Howard...”
Claire Bennett is silent. She bows her head and stops answering.
The atmosphere is awkward. Just then Bryce suddenly raises his head. He grabs Claire Bennett’s hands and says, “Claire, do you know how painful my heart was when I saw you in Leo Howard’s arms?”
Claire Bennett wants to get out of Bryce’s hands. She says, “Bryce, stop talking. Now that I’m someone else’s wife, it’s not good for you to do that.”
“What’s wrong? You should have been mine!” Bryce does not let go at all. He laughs. “Claire, last time you said you loved money and power. Now I’m in power. I want you to be my wife, okay?”
Claire Bennett is shocked that Bryce thinks so. She says, “Bryce, you should understand that since I got married, we can’t be together. Whether you are rich or powerful or whether you are the heir of Bryce Group, it is useless.”
“No!” Bryce exclaims and he refuses to give up. “Claire, I don’t care who you marry. I don’t mind. You can get divorced if you get married. I don’t mind that. I’m going to marry you!”
“You’re crazy. Do you know what you are talking about now?” Claire Bennett is ashamed to hear Bryce’s radical statement.
“Yes, I’m crazy. Claire, I’m just mad for you...” Bryce laughs loudly.
Leo Howard comes to the bathroom to find Claire Bennett. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Suddenly he hears a voice coming from a short distance around the corner and stops.
“Claire Bennett, listen. I’m sure I will marry you in this life. I don’t care if you’re married or not. I won’t marry a woman other than you!”
Leo Howard hears Bryce’s affectionate love. Claire Bennett is the object of his love.
Leo Howard’s fist clenches in an instant. He is furious to the extreme. Claire Bennett, you’re terrific. You can flirt with a man in the bathroom who is the future heir of Bryce Group.
You are really capable! You are a slut!
