Chapter 3

Even though Claire knew Jordy was acting, she couldn't help but feel bitter.

She asked him the question because she wanted to give him one last chance.

Unfortunately, he didn't understand her intention.

She smiled and said, "So what kind of woman do you like?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jordy unhesitatingly pulled his secretary, Hana Roberts, close to him and planted a kiss on her hair. "Of course, I like a woman like Hana. She is smart and adorable. She takes care of everything for me. She is always so considerate."

Hana naturally fell into Jordy's arms and gave a charming smile. At the same time, she discreetly shot a provocative glance at Claire.

Seeing this, Claire suddenly laughed.

She used to genuinely believe that Jordy was fond of Hana.

After all, he remembered her birthday and made sure to celebrate it with her every year.

He seemed to have devoted himself to her.

She felt pain even now as she saw them holding hands.

But more than that, she found it ridiculous.

Everything Jordy did was just to get her attention.

Hana was merely a pawn for him to just do that.

Claire suddenly realized that her years of resentment were like a cruel joke.

Anyway, it didn't matter now. Once he opened the eighth gift, everything would be over.

The birthday party soon ended.

Claire headed straight to the parking lot, but she saw Hana's reflection in the rearview mirror when she was about to get into her car.

Claire didn't have time to think. She had just turned to get into the car when Hana blocked her path. "Claire, you may be rich, but do you really think money can buy love?"

During the party, Hana's eyes were filled with jealousy when she looked at Claire, and now the latter understood why.

She said flatly, "So? What are you trying to say?"

Hana bit her lip and said, "You've bought Jordy so many gifts, but has he ever really looked at you? You'd better give up. Jordy has always liked me. He takes me everywhere, whether for work or in life. Can't you have some dignity and stop coming between us?"

Hana was Jordy's secretary, but she was allowed to get so intimate with him.

It used to hurt Claire, but she only felt pity for the pawn at that moment.

Claire couldn't be bothered to argue.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving." With that, Claire put the car in gear.

Hana panicked and threw herself onto the car hood. Clare was startled.

Hana shouted, "Why are you pretending not to care? Do you know what others say about you? They laugh and say that he will never accept you even if you pursue him relentlessly. Have you no shame? I'm warning you for the last time. Stay away from Jordy!"

Claire never imagined that Hana could be like that when no one else was around, even though she was seemingly gentle.

But she couldn't be bothered to retort because Jordy was standing behind Hana with a long face.

Hana saw Claire's gaze fixed behind her and instinctively turned around.

Her legs suddenly went weak as soon as she saw Jordy's face. "Jordy... I... It's not what you think. It's her, Claire. She tried to hit me with her car, and I just lost control of my words. Jordy, trust me."

The gloom on Jordy's face vanished in an instant, and he affectionately tapped Hana's nose.

"Of course, I know you're not like that. I was just waiting for you over there for so long, but you didn't come to me. I thought you got lost. Come on. I'll drive you home." With that, he held Hana's hand.

Hana finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't notice that Jordy's gaze was fixed on Claire all the time.

Even while holding Hana's hand, he kept gazing at Claire.

Claire let out a cold laugh in the car.

After learning the truth, she realized how poor Jordy's acting skills were.

Jordy's affection for Claire was so obvious, and even his eyes had shown enough.

But Claire didn't care any longer. She even found it disgusting.

Whenever she recalled those days when he clearly had feelings for her but still kept her hanging and deliberately pushed her towards other guys, she felt nauseated.

Why did she have to suffer so much ridicule and be treated so coldly because he wanted to test her?

If that was Jordy's way of loving her, she'd rather not have it.

Claire pushed away her thoughts and started the car to drive away.

After all, she was about to accept the marriage her family arranged for her. Coincidentally, Jordy was going to set her up with the same guy the next time.
