Chapter 3 Three Days and Nights

That man …

Claire furrowed her brows. Four years had passed, and she couldn’t remember

his face or even the name she saw on his ID card before she left.

For her, that man was just a passing stranger in her life, an irrelevant person. She would never waste

her brain cells trying to remember him.

She chuckled self-deprecatingly and gazed up at the ceiling. “It’s been four years. He might be married

with children by now, or maybe he already had a family back then. Even if we met again, what would it

change? That night was just a mistake. Who would even remember me?”

Julia nodded, finding her words quite reasonable.

Lying on the bed, Julia and Claire looked up at the ceiling. “Claire, I’ve always wanted to ask why you

chose the pen name C. S. Lawrence? It sounds like a man’s name. Is there any special meaning to it?”

Claire placed her hand on her forehead. After a flight lasting over ten

hours, she was exhausted and wanted to sleep.

Her voice was soft and faint, barely audible. “I didn’t think much of it. H just had a feeling that this pen

name would become popular.”

Since getting on the plane, Victor had felt that something was off with Mr.

Sean.

The man, who had always been expressionless, especially in the past four years,

was now smiling! This was a rare sight, as he had never been seen smiling before.

Though it wasn’t a blatantly obvious laugh, the corners of his thin lips were lifted, giving the impression

that he was pleased.

Victor mustered up his courage and asked hesitantly, “Mr. Sean, did something good happen to you

today?”

Sean wore a meticulously tailored black suit with a crisp white shirt underneath. A light gray tie hung

perfectly in place, exuding an air of refinement and nobility that befit a successful man.

Leaning against the spacious seat, he rested his arm on the armrest, his fingers lightly propping up his

stern face. The arc of his lips deepened suddenly. “She’s back.”

She?

Victor was bewildered. “Who is she?”

Sean didn’t reply. He just gave Victor a quick, uninterested look.

Victor was taken aback, realizing that Sean was looking at him with a gaze that wasn’t cold and

piercing for the first time.

It didn’t take long for Victor to figure it out. The person who could bring Mr. Sean such joy, could it be…

“Mr. Sean, is, is …” His excitement was evident in his wide eyes. “Is it Claire?”

Sean mummbled in affirmation, tapping his thigh lightly.

She not only returned, but she also called him “Sir.”

Heh… interesting, very interesting.

Victor was so excited that he could barely contain himself. He practically vibrated with energy as he

said, “This is great news! She’s finally back. Once we deal with her, we can go back to Ascalon. Mrs.

Vanderbilt will be so thrilled to know that Mr. Sean is coming home soon. She’ll probably throw a grand

feast for the whole city for three days and nights!”

Sean shot Victor a piercing look, and Victor snapped his mouth shut.

Did … did he say something wrong?

Throughout the journey, Victor didn’t dare to utter another word, keeping his head down and minimizing

his presence.

As soon as they landed, Sean gave Victor an order. “Victor, investigate the reasons behind Claire’s

return to Silverton. I also want to know her every move in the city. If she escapes again, you will be held

responsible!”

“Roger that, Mr. Sean!”

Victor did not dare to delay, and he went to deal with it right away.

Claire’s information reappeared on Sean’s tablet thirty minutes later.

It turned out that Claire was the screenwriter for the upcoming movie “The Twenty-Fifth Hour,” a

that had topped bestseller lists during its serialization and amassed millions of fans. Even in its pre-

production stage, it had sparked unprecedented online discussions.

As Sean admired Claire’s modest talent, his eyes suddenly caught that pen

2. S. Lawrence!

Victor watched as Mr. Sean’s face changed through several expressions within a matter of seconds.

His face first showed admiration, then confusion, and finally, it turned somber.

“Victor, contact the producer of this movie and inform them that I would like to invest in it. I want to be

the primary investor.”

He made a move!

Mr. Sean finally made a move!

Victor was aware that Sean had been waiting for Claire in Silverton for four years, and he was

confident that Mr. Sean would not let her go.

Hahaha. Claire, get ready to face Mr. Sean’s wrath!

The crew members were greeted by earth-shattering news when they woke up

The largest domestic conglomerate unexpectedly showed interest in investing in their movie, and they

were being very generous, investing a whopping 300 million right off the bat.

In reality, for a contemporary romance movie, without special effects or

grand and intense scenes, this much money wasn’t necessary at all.

It would be foolish not to invest money that is just sitting there, so of course, the producers welcomed

the investment.

However, the conglomerate had one condition, all the crew members must take a three-day break

before resuming work.

“We got three days’ vacation, free food, free drinks, free entertainment, and even money! This is like

winning the lottery!”

“Maybe the big boss is just rich and naive!”

“Hahaha. If that rich and naive boss wants to hand me a stack of money, I

won’t complain at all.”

Claire listened to their conversation with an expressionless face. A three-day break was a good thing

for her.

Even if they didn’t have a break, she would’ve asked Mr. Smith for a day off. Tomorrow was an

important day for her; she couldn’t afford to be absent.

“Well, since that’s the case…” She picked up her bag and stood up. “I’||

go on a vacation then.”

The members of the crew, whether it was the producer or Mr. Smith, treated Claire with great kindness.

After all, when negotiating the copyright fees with her, she didn’t increase the cost just because her

had become popular.

In addition, because of her simple outfit of jeans and a T-shirt and her youthful appearance, they

treated her with care as if she were a young girl.

“Ms. Lawrence, the big boss is specifically inviting everyone from the crew to a vacation resort. Are you

really not joining us?”

Claire smiled and shook her head. “I’m so sorry, Mr. Smith. I would love to join you, but I have an event

to attend tomorrow. I hope you all have a wonderful time.”

She waved cheerfully at them, then turned around and walked away with her

bag.

At that moment of turning, her bright smile suddenly receded, and her deep brown eyes flashed with an

icy glint. Her lips, painted in sandy-colored lipstick, curled into a chilling arc.

Dad, I’m here to give you a grand gift. Are you ready?

The most luxurious five-star hotel in Silverton was packed with guests, who were toasting and chatting

merrily.

For his youngest daughter’s engagement banquet, Robert had spared no expense. Not only did he

reserve the entire hotel at a hefty price, but he also generously extended invitations to all the prominent

families in Silverton.

However, receiving an invitation didn’t necessarily guarantee attendance.

Some small business owners still felt obligated to show Robert respect because his daughter Clarissa

Donovan was engaged to Xander Morgan, the heir to the Morgan family, one of the most powerful

families in Silverton.

Clarissa wanted to be the belle of the ball at the engagement banquet, so she spared no expense on

her gown. She asked Alice to buy a limited-edition luxury dress that cost over a million dollars. The lake

blue evening dress hugged her curves perfectly, and the long skirt trailed behind her like a royal train.

“Wow! Clarissa, you look so beautiful today!”

“Yes, this gown looks so expensive. Clarissa, I can guarantee you’re the most beautiful woman in the

world today!”

Listening to her friends’ flattery, Clarissa’s vanity was instantly

satisfied. She smiled modestly, “Oh, stop it. I just dressed up a bit.”

“Dressed up a bit, and you look this gorgeous? My goodness, what chance do the rest of us have?”

“That’s right, you’re stunning even when you’re casually dressed! No wonder Xander is head over

heels for you. He wouldn’t marry anyone else. Haha …”

While the girls showered Clarissa with compliments, a different kind of conversation circulated among

the upper-class women.

“The Donovans is truly interesting. Their eldest daughter disappeared for four years, and they acted

like nothing happened. They even allowed their

“Exactly! Everyone knows that Claire was engaged to Xander from birth. They grew up together since

they were kids. But in the end, Xander ended up engaged to Claire’s younger sister, Clarissa. Life is

truly unpredictable!”

“Well, I suspect Claire’s disappearance was intentional on the Donovans’ part!”

Several women turned their attention to the lady who had spoken last, curiosity gleaming in their eyes.

“What do you mean?”

The lady sipped her wine and said with a smirk, “Robert remarried after Claire’ s mother passed away.

How could he have possibly given her the love and attention she needed with a stepmother in the

picture?”

Several women nodded in agreement. “That makes sense.”

“Alice must have been planning to get rid of Claire from the start so that her daughter could take her

place and marry into the Morgan family. She may have found an opportunity four years ago to do so.”

“What?” One of the women gasped, covering her mouth in astonishment. “Are you saying… Claire is

already dead?”

When someone has been missing for four years without a trace, what else could it mean?

Several women exchanged knowing glances.

Just then, a tall figure walked in through the door.

She wore a luxurious limited-edition lake blue gown, and a dazzling ruby necklace adorned her swan-

like neck, making her fair skin glow.

The dress hugged her curves perfectly, and her every move was graceful

elegant.

“Ah!”

“Oh my god!”

Everyone was stunned by her appearance. She was …
