Through the crowd, Cynthia Wilkins said, “I have a coat that’s exactly like hers?”
“I feel like she looks a bit like your Aunt Claire!”
Squinting, Cynthia guessed, “Could it be that your Aunt Claire found out the true face of the scumbag and is crying in the street?”
At the end, Cynthia continued, “It can’t be! Your Aunt Claire is a person who cares about her reputation so much, even if she cries, she wouldn’t cry on the street!”
Cynthia had known Claire for many years and had never seen her cry.
So it must not be Claire.
At this moment
Viola Thompson slightly squinted and looked at the woman’s wristwatch, “Aunt Sherman, it seems that it’s really Aunt Claire.”
“No way! Even if your Aunt Claire is heartbroken, she wouldn’t do something like this.”
Viola continued, “Take a look at her watch.”
Upon hearing this, Cynthia’s eyes immediately fell on the woman’s watch, and her expression changed.
She immediately pushed through the crowd, “Make way! Make way!”
Viola took off her coat, covered Claire with it, hiding her face, and helped Claire stand up, “Aunt Claire, let’s go.”
Her voice was quite distinct and somewhat pleasant.
Claire first froze, then stood up and followed her.
Cynthia walked in front, dispersing the crowd, angrily saying, “What are you staring at! Is there anything worth staring at!”
The crowd dispersed immediately.
This this is Cynthia’s voice.
Hearing her old friend’s voice, Claire felt even more distressed and wronged
She misunderstood Cynthia and Viola.
But in this most difficult time, it was still them who stood up for her
After dispersing the crowd, Cynthia looked at Claire, “Shall we go to a hotel and get a room first? You calm down?”
With tears in her eyes, Claire nodded.
The hotel was nearby.
After smoothly checking in, the three of them entered the room.
Cynthia sighed and looked at Claire’s swollen eyes, then asked, “Claire, were you found by Viola? Is the child you adopted Benjamin Martin’s illegitimate son?”
“Hmm.” Claire nodded and took out the parent-child identification.
Upon seeing the identification, Cynthia slammed the table, cursing for the first time, “Fucking hell! How can people be so cruel!”
“Who’s the mistress?” Cynthia continued.
“I don’t know,” Claire shook her head.
Cynthia frowned slightly, pulling Claire up, “Let’s go confront him face to face! Kill that pair of dog men and women!”
Cynthia was very angry.
She had thought that Benjamin Martin was terrible, but he couldn’t possibly do such a thing.
Who would have thought!
Not only did he do it, but he also did it so disgustingly.
For all these years, he lived off Claire, and now that he had an illegitimate son, he even had the audacity to bring him back to raise as Claire’s own child.
When she went to the Phils family that afternoon, Cynthia saw how Clair adored the child.
Just as Cynthia was about to take Claire out of the room…
“Wait a minute,” Viola urged her at this point, “Both of you are being too impulsive.”
Cynthia looked at Viola, “Viola, do you have a better solution?”
Now, other than confronting and beating up the scumbag couple, Cynthia couldn’t think of any other solution.
Viola continued, “Since it’s already happened, what’s more important now is to protect Aunt Claire’s rights, find out who Benjamin Martin’s mistress is, and sort out what he’s bought her and how much money he gave her all these years. We have to make sure they spit it all out and then sue the scumbag with this evidence and leave him with nothing!”
If they act recklessly, they won’t find any evidence.
These words immediately awakened Cynthia, “Viola is right about dealing with scumbags and bitches like them. They can’t take advantage of a single cent! Make them spit it all out!”Using Claire’s money to support a mistress and buy her things, that’s just disgusting!
It makes my lungs want to explode just thinking about it!
Claire nodded, “Miss Thompson, I’ll listen to you now.”
She had never believed Viola before.
She always thought Viola was just a girl in her teens.
But after experiencing this, Claire felt that Viola was much more capable than her, an aunt with 20 years age difference.
Because from beginning to end, Viola always maintained a calm demeanor.
She didn’t even get upset when Claire didn’t believe her.
And she didn’t take pleasure in Claire’s misfortune after being betrayed by a jerk either.
If it were someone else, they would have probably enjoyed the drama by now, after all, it was Claire who wronged Viola first.
Looking at Claire like this, Cynthia Wilkins sighed, where is the spirited Claire they knew?
However.
If she put herself in Claire’s shoes and encountered such a thing, perhaps she wouldn’t be as strong as Claire.
Viola continued, “Aunt Claire, what you need to do now is calm down and pretend nothing has happened. Then, look into the mistress’s background and check Benjamin Martin’s bank statements to see if he has bought any property, cars, or valuable jewelry for her.”
After saying this, she added, “Before you find these evidences, don’t let Benjamin Martin discover that you already know the truth.”
“Alright.” Claire nodded.
Cynthia Wilkins continued, “By the way, I know a super powerful divorce lawyer. I’ll recommend her to you on WhatsApp.”
“Thank you, Cynthia!” Claire hugged her tightly.
She cried out of guilt.
At the same time, she felt some warmth in her heart.
She was grateful to have true friends by her side at this time.
“Cynthia, I’m sorry for what I did to you and Miss Thompson ”
“It’s okay,” Cynthia comforted Claire, “Everyone has times when they misjudge people, and you can’t blame yourself for it.”
“It’s all my fault, I’m so stupid, I can’t believe I was deceived by Benjamin Martin for so many years.”
Cynthia continued, “Actually, you’re not completely stupid. At least, you listened to my words. If you hadn’t come for this parent-child identification, think about how many more years he would have deceived you? This kind of man is too cunning! He obviously wants you to transfer your assets to his illegitimate child in the future, and then change the surname of the Phils Group!”
Claire was glad she listened to Cynthia’s advice back then.
Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
After calming down, Claire returned to the Phils family home.
The maternity matron was taking care of the child.
“Ma’am is back.”
Claire smiled and nodded, trying to suppress her nausea as she took the baby from the maternity matron, “Let me hold the baby.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she asked, “Has my husband returned yet?”
“Not yet.” The maternity matron shook her head.
Claire cooed at the baby for a while, then said, “I have to work overtime at the company tonight, Miss Zacks, I’ll have to trouble you with the baby.”
“Ma’am, it’s my duty.”
At this time, Mrs. Martin came downstairs, cursing angrily, “What kind of mother are you, always working overtime? What’s the point of having a child if you’re so busy? Just live at the company already! Our son, Benjamin, at least has a master’s degree, are you telling me he’s not even on par with you, a community college graduate? Besides, you two are not strangers, why not just let Benjamin handle the company affairs? Look at how capable you think you are, do you really think the world will stop spinning without you?”
Claire’s eyes were filled with anger, she had never argued with Mrs. Martin before.
Now that she heard everything.
Mrs. Martin couldn’t disdain her more. 154
Always emphasizing her as a community college graduate.
Now she understood everything.
“Mom, how do you think I should handle this?” Claire looked at Mrs. Martin, trying to smile.
Mrs. Martin said, “Of course, you should hand over the company to our Benjamin! From now on, you just focus on raising the child at home! And nurture my grandson well.”
