Chapter 31 Leo’s Plot

The room seems to have been deliberately separated by curtains, and Claire is on one side. She is
surrounded by darkness, but still dimly visible through the cracks.

Claire looks around, and there is only one chair, most of which was exactly the same as Leo’s room, so
she knows where she is.

Damn Leo!

Claire is about to struggle, but suddenly she hears a small voice, a little moan. She listens, and it is--
Brynn!

“Aha, it is so comfortable...” Brynn says vaguely.

Claire frowns. She doesn’t know what is going on now, but it is definitely Leo’s plot.

At the thought of that, Claire guesses in her heart, wondering if Leo is trying to get her to recognize
Brynn’s true purpose?!

So Claire calms down, only to hear Brynn start scolding her with insulting words.

“Leo, I am telling you, Claire, that woman is not a good thing. Don’t be fooled by her appearance.”
Brynn moans softly as she speaks.

“Oh? What is that like? What do you want to say?” Leo, with his eyebrows raised, thinks it is funny to
magnify his voice so that Claire could hear it.

Claire clenches her teeth, and the pain in her heart could not be described in words. The betrayal of
her best friend from her childhood holds her breath. Claire keeps silent, trying to hear what Brynn is
going to say, which makes her nervous for she knows it is not fake.



Seeing Leo interested, Brynn smiles and says, “I have been with her for so long, and I know exactly
who she is, and I am sure there is something you want to know.”

The tone of Brynn’s voice is so ambiguous. And Claire could see their movements from behind the
curtains, and she is disgusted to see Brynn changing her usual gentleness and embracing Leo.

“Why should I ask a stranger about my wife?” Leo is so polite that Brynn let her guard down.

“Mr. Howard, I am so kind. I’m afraid you are being cheated by that bitch. I don’t care if you don’t want
to hear it.” Brynn speaks and Claire clenches her fist in anger.

However, just then, Leo chuckles, and Claire understands that Leo is making fun of her, laughing at her
ignorance.

Brynn thinks that Leo is interested in what she said and immediately begins to say. “Mr. Howard, do
you know that Claire loves money, very greedy for money?”

“So what?” Leo asks, “What does her greed have to do with me?”

Brynn says, wriggling somewhat, “Claire loves money, greedy for money, so she will marry you. She
doesn’t treat you with her sincere mind. She is a bitch. I love you sincerely, and I really want to marry
you!”

When Brynn’s voice falls, Claire’s heart feels empty. She is truly nauseated by Brynn, but Brynn still
continues.

“Mr. Howard, do you know that Claire have a childhood boyfriend who has been promised a lifetime
and might have done something about sex? But, you know? It is because that man has no money that
she will marry you!”



Leo, whose purpose is to induce Brynn to say these things, naturally showing his cooperation, says,
“How do you know that?”

“Hmm, the man comes to me and asks for Claire’s cell phone number. Claire was married, but she still
met him. I’m afraid they are making love now.”

Leo asks, “So, you gave him her cell phone number?”

Brynn nods.

Claire bites her lip flap and feels cold enough to make her shudder.

“Besides, I have had enough of Claire!” Brynn’s words suddenly became bitter, and before Leo asks
why, she grits her teeth and says, “You did not see how excessive she was doing in the hospital today.
She threw the money in my face just because she is rich. She did not take me for granted.”

“So...” Leo raises his eyebrows and says in a low voice, “What exactly do you want?”

Brynn says hastily, “What I want is simple. I want you to divorce Claire, divorce that bitch, and marry
me, okay?”

“I am gentler than she is, and I listen to your words more than she does. And I will make love with you,
no matter how many times, will you marry me? Why did you marry her instead of me?”

Brynn sniffles in a low voice, scolding, “Why I am nothing but a concubine? I am better than that bitch!
Leo, will you marry me?”

Her voice is low and almost begging.

Leo, however, looks impassive, but with a smile on his lips. Suddenly he gets away from Brynn, stands
up and puts on his clothes.



Brynn is confused, “Mr. Howard, what is the matter? Am I not doing well enough? It’s all my fault. Give
me another chance. I can cheer you up!”

Then she climbs over and tries to get close to Leo, but when she touches Leo’s clothes, Leo slams her
hands and she nearly falls off the bed.

Brynn is taken aback, but before she could response. Leo suddenly walks over and pulls open the
curtains, the other side of which is Claire, who has been tied up.

Brynn is startled and screams, covering her mouth with both hands.

When Leo unties Claire, Claire finally looks up. Her eyes scan Brynn coldly, and now she had nothing
to say.

Leo, glancing at Claire without even glancing at Brynn, says with a sneering laugh, “The affection
between you two is very good indeed, and in that case I shall not interrupt the reunion.”

There’s so much irony in Leo’s tone. Claire bites her lip and ignores him.

Immediately after Leo leaves, Brynn puts on her clothes.

Claire is silent and doesn’t want to say anything.

In the end, Claire takes the lead. She sighs and steps forward and asks, “Why?”
