Chapter 348 Conclusion
Chapter 348 Conclusion
Juan has never been so frustrated. All he has planned is not only a plot, but also a gamble. And he’s a loser no matter what the outcome of the gamble is.
There is probably no more unfair gamble in the world, so Juan is so angry at this time.
“In fact, I was plotting your so-called plot a long time ago. That time Tracy humiliated you on the roof. Do you know why I didn’t kill her at that time?” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Claire always thought it was because of her persuasion that Juan let Tracy go. Now it doesn’t seem like that.
Juan knows what Claire thinks. He calms down and says, “you’re not wrong. Although part of the reason is that your persuasion made my heart soft. Second, I found that this woman seems smart, but in fact she is incredibly stupid. It will be a pity if I don’t use her.”
Juan criticizes his partner Tracy, but Tracy can only tremble with anger and dare not speak.
Juan is not Claire. She can’t annoy him.
Juan smiles bitterly and says, “we have lived in France for six years. I thought I had succeeded in getting you and I had a good relationship with Conan. But everything has changed since you returned to the United States.”
“When you lied to me together and you even went to see Leo who was seriously ill, I was already upset. I’m afraid all my efforts over the years have been wasted.”
Claire is cold. She can’t deny it. She has always understood Juan’s mind, but she can’t bear it. The debt she owes is still to be paid.
Even if she doesn’t pay the debt, he asks for it himself.
Claire is silent.
Juan continues, “don’t you really understand? I want you to be with me. I can do anything for it.”
Conan interrupts Juan. “Mommy will be with Daddy sooner or later. Don’t think about it.”
Juan sits opposite them and lights a cigarette. He continues when he smokes, “so I set up a bet. I used Tracy to threaten Howard Group and force you to sign this agreement. Maybe then I can take you back to France and never come back again.”
Claire sneers. “You’re selfish. Howard Group makes a senseless sacrifice.”
Juan looks up and asks Claire in the smoke, "didn't I make a sacrifice?"
“I bet if you will accept the agreement. If you accept it, it means that you are willing to pay all you have for Leo, so even if I take you away, your heart is still here. What I lose is the dignity of being a man.”
Juan has never gambled with his dignity and has never been so frustrated.
“But if I can keep you, I can accept even such an ending. In another case, if you refuse this negotiation, you will still stay with Leo. So even if Howard Group really closes down, I still loses.”
“What’s more, in the end, Howard Group will never close down because of Tracy.”
Juan finally says everything he wants to say. He puts out the smoke and looks at Claire quietly and says, “I’ll lose in the end anyway.”
Conan is expressionless and says, “you want what you don’t deserve, so that’s the end.”
Claire hugs Conan and signals him not to talk. Then she says to Juan, “I don’t know if I really have Leo in my heart, but I’m sure I don’t have you in my heart, Juan.”
“I know.”
Juan is smiling.
“I owe you a lot. You even helped me start a new life six years ago.” Claire closes her eyes and her eyes are moist.
“But I can’t pay you back. You don’t lack anything and I can’t give you what you want.” Claire has tears in her eyes, but they never come down.
“There is no way.” Claire’s voice becomes a little hoarse.
Juan says calmly, “Oh? So, what are you going to do?”
Claire opens her eyes wide and says firmly, “you’ve gone too far this time. I can’t forgive you.”
“I don’t want to see you in the future. I’m afraid we can’t even be friends.” Claire doesn’t have any feelings in her words. She looks at Juan like a stranger.
Juan looks numb and says, “I guessed it.”
Claire says calmly, “maybe this is the last time we meet. Of course, I hope so. I want you to promise me one thing before I leave.”
Juan sneers and says, “you want to owe me one more time?”
Claire ignores Juan’s taunts and continues, “do you know why I agree to this agreement this time? I don’t just do it for Leo. I want all hatred to end here.”
Juan looks at Claire like he’s looking at a joke.
“If you keep competing, you won’t get any benefits.”
Juan lights the cigarette again and says scornfully, “thank you for reminding me.”
Juan seems to be cold on the surface because of Claire’s determination, but in fact he’s upset.
“I was next door just now. I could almost take you away from Leo.”
Juan gets angry again. His bloodshot eyes seem to kill Conan. If it wasn’t for his sudden appearance, how could it be like this?
In the face of Juan’s angry eyes, Conan is still calm. Anyway, eyes can’t kill.
Claire finds that Tracy and Juan are almost the same kind of people. They seem smart but they are stupid. Otherwise, why do they prefer to be so persistent when they are both defeated?
She has nothing to say.
Claire doesn’t look back and pulls Conan away. It’s over.
Tracy is worried and shrieks, “are you going to let Claire go? Previous plans and investment will be wasted!”
“Catch up with them.” Tracy is going to call her men.
