The Billionaire’s Surprise Twins by A Young Cabbage

Chapter 36 Ground Her

Was this still the meek Claire who just accepted being beaten and shouted at?

During the engagement party, the Donovans thought Claire was only able to defeat them because she

had a copy of the surveillance footage from the hotel back then. However, Claire had efficiently and

swiftly struck at them twice. Although it looked like she did not put a lot of strength into her attacks, they

were still too afraid to attack her once more.

Robert was so angry that his body was trembling. “Great! What a great daughter I have.”

Clarissa wrapped a hand around her wrist and stood next to Robert. “Dad, why don’t we just bring her

back home and ground her?”

Once Claire was in their territory, they could just lock her up without food or water for three days and

nights. By then, Claire would obediently tell them where the will was, even if they did not torture her.

Robert thought it was a feasible plan. He had planned to use force against Claire anyway. Why else

would he have brought his wife and daughter along?

“Do it!”

The three of them looked at each other before marching over to Claire.

Watching from inside the car, Jason felt a shiver run down his back. The trio was going to kidnap

Claire!

He gritted his teeth in anger. He had to protect Claire on Sean’s behalf:

Just as he unbuckled his seat belt, he suddenly heard loud bangs and crashes coming from outside the

car. Looking up, he saw Claire’s leg swinging through the air in a spinning kick that sent the elderly

woman flying through the

air.

Jason cried out in shock.

Look at how fast she was, how strong she was! Sean was likely the only one who could deal with her.

She was so cool and incredible!

Aah…

He had to tell Sean just how amazing and awesome Claire was!

Claire did not really hit Robert that hard. After all, he was her father. Hence, she only shoved him away

before knocking Clarissa down with a left hook. No matter how cruel Clarissa was, she was still a

daughter Robert and Alice had spoiled. She was unable to bear even the slightest pain. Thus, with a

hand held up to her cheek, she sobbed as she knelt on the ground.

Claire spun around to knock Alice away with a roundhouse kick. As Alice was used to a life of luxury,

there was no way she could handle being kicked. Hence, she was unable to get up from the ground.

Robert had planned to follow up with another attack, but Alice and Clarissa’s agony made him stumble

backward in fear. “Claire Donovan, you will come home with me! This is your last chance!”

Claire dusted off her pants and stood up straight. “I’m a very busy woman,

Dad.

If you are that eager, wait for the lawyer then. I don’t have the time to play with you. Goodbye.”

With a slight smile on her lips, she cheerfully walked past Robert as he stood there, too afraid to stop

her from walking away.

Suddenly, she stopped as though a thought suddenly struck her.

Robert thought she would kick him again when she turned around, so he frantically hopped to the side.

Claire burst out laughing. “Haha! Dad, what are you doing? I only wanted to

tell

you

that it would be better for you to befriend the other shareholders instead of focusing on getting the will.

If their shares end up in my hands, you might not be the chairman anymore.”

Robert’s face turned puce in anger. How he wished he could slap Claire across the face like he used

to. However, she was now so strong that he was too

afraid to do that.

With a tilt of her head, Claire smiled and strutted into the hotel.

Julia had just stepped out of her room when she spotted Claire. Excited, she ran over and grabbed

Claire’s arm. “How was last night? Tee-Hee. Tell me already! What happened between you and Great-

Grandpa.”

A lot had happened the night before, but Claire was in no mood, nor did she have the time to gossip

with Julia.

Pulling out her room card, she opened the door and walked in to place her laptop on the table.

“Did anyone from the Donovans contact you last night, Julia?”

Upon hearing the Donovans’ name, Julia abruptly smacked herself in the head. How could she have

forgotten about that?

“When I returned from Golden Splendor last night, I saw your dad standing by the hotel entrance. I

think he must have been waiting for you. I was so afraid he might see me that I snuck in through the

backdoor.”

“Okay, then.” Claire opened up a program. Soon, her fingers were flying across her keyboard as she

typed. “Just protect yourself. I’m not afraid of

anything else!”

That statement made Julia’s eyes go red as she felt touched by how much

Claire cared about her.

“I was going to call you about it yesterday, but I was afraid you and Great-Grandpa might have been

doing … you know … I didn’t want to interrupt you.”

In the end, she had yet to forget to gossip about Claire’s situation.

Claire shot her a sideways glance before focusing back on her computer screen. “We need to buy a

place and move out of the hotel. It will be bad publicity for the production if the Donovans came back

another time.”

The filming of “The Twenty-Fifth Hour” had already caused quite a sensation from the start. Journalists

would frequently drop by the set. On the way back to the hotel, they would sometimes bump into the

paparazzi. The filming location itself was fine. They were frequently moving about to film at different

locations, so the Donovans could not really know where they were during filming. However, the hotel

was different.

Just one photo from the paparazzi could kick up a huge fuss online.

Julia stroked her chin and nodded. “True, but it’s not easy to buy a place. We

Il have to renovate the place before going through all the effort of moving in. It’s going to be hard.”

“Got one!”

Just as Julia finished speaking, Claire stopped typing to pick up her phone to call the number displayed

on the screen.

Curious, Julia glanced at the screen. Deep down, she let out a shriek of

surprise.

Claire was looking at a listing for a two-bedroom, one-living room, one-bathroom apartment that was

located in the heart of the city. More importantly, it had just been renovated and furnished with the best

furniture around. They could move in right away!

It was rather expensive, but it was exactly what they needed.

After calling the agent, Claire led Julia over to check out the apartment. Once they were done, they

immediately bought the apartment with all the paperwork done within the day. In fact, the entire process

took less than

three hours.

Julia was very impressed by how decisive and effective Claire was as she watched a blank-faced

Claire pay with her credit card. Claire was so manly!

When Sean woke up, he drank the herbal remedy Jason prepared for him. Soo the heat dissipated

from his body.

However, why did the back of his head hurt?

Standing nearby was Jason, excitedly rambling away about what happened at the hotel like a little kid

even though he was already in his fifties.

“Mr. Sean, Miss Donovan is such an amazing girl. She’s smart and a good fighter. I think she must be

the only woman who is good enough for you.”

Sean touched the back of his head with one hand. As realization dawned on him, he smiled. Had Claire

attacked him because she thought he was going to do something to her?

She had quite the nerve!
