Claire spent the entire night contemplating Adam's ott, her mind racing with possibilities and concerns As dawn
broke, she resolves to share the news with her ile tust. He was the only father figure in her lite after her father's
death and she needed to intors him thest. However, she decided to keep the contract marriage aspect hidden.
The fewer people who knew about it, the better for the purpose of this arrangement. It the news leaked, it could
severely damage Alan's career and popularity
The morning light filtered through the curtains as Claite dressed and made her way downstairs, her heart
pounding with a mix of uncertainty and anxiety. She didn't know how he would react to this news.
Her uncle sat at the kitchen table, his face buried in his phone, a permanent scowl etched on his features, Claire
glanced around and spotted her aunt and then daughter Hannah also seated and having Incak tast Though her
stomach growled at the smell of delicious food, she tossed on the task at hand. She took a deep breath,
steadying herself before approaching her uncle.
"Uncle, | have something important to tell you, Claire began, her voice shaky with nervousness.
He barely looked up from his phone, his tone dismissive. "What is it now, Claire?"
"Adam Whitmore proposed to me, she announced, holding her breath and watching for any reaction.

"Have you lost your mind? Hannah snorted. "Adam Whitmore proposed to you? Huh! There's a limit to bluffing,

Claire remained calm and ignored her cousin, who never missed a chance to pick a fight with her
Her uncle frowned, his eyes narrowing at Claire
That's true, Uncle, Claire said, deciding to address her uncle rather than Hammals.

Adam Whitmore could never be interested in a simple and ordinary girl like her. That was why she had remained
his PR manager; he didn't find her bothersome. Claire never crossed her limits, knowing he was out of her
league. However, she had Daniel and knew Adam loved Mia. They both belonged to different worlds
"So, he proposed to you, and you said yes, her uncle finally spoke, "Why are you tellingnow?" he scowled.
"No, Uncle, | haven't replied to him. | cto you to seek you lessing first," Claire looked at her uncle through
her eyelashes and spoke innocently.
Her uncle nodded and took a deep breath. "Alright. Tell him to talk tothen," he demanded,
Claire nodded, wondering how she would tell Adam and convince him to meet her uncle. He was Adam
Whitmore. People had to wait months to meet him. He was super busy and super popular. She sighed and was
about to leave when her aunt stopped her in her tracks. "Wait a minute!" her aunt called out. "If she gets
married, what will happen to her income? We don't get anything. So why should we give her our blessings?" She
provoked her husband, and Claire knew her uncle would listen to his wife.
"Eva, it's her choice to get married, and we can't stop her. Though | want to meet the man she is going to marry
to make sure she hasn't made a mistake, | do want us to keep getting money. You're not going leave your job
after your marriage, right?! What will happen to your grandmother then? Who will pay for her hospital bills?" her
uncle finally made his statement,
Claire snorted, knowing they only cared about her because she was their sole source of income.
"Don't worry, Uncle. | am getting a huge amount of money from the marriage, and it will be sufficient for all of
you," she confirmed.
"Of course, cousin, Hannah smirked cunningly, "you nailed a big deal by seducing Adam Whitmore and getting
him to marry you. | suspect you're already pregnant with his baby and trapped him in this pregnancy marriage."
Claire rolled her eyes, knowing wasting her energy on someone like Hannah wasn't worth it. But she couldn't let
her pass just like that.
"Not everyone is a whore like you, Hannah," she retorted, making Hannah fwith anger.
"What did you just say about my daughter?" her uncle snapped.
"Uncle, she started it," Claire sighed.
