Chapter 596

As soon as Arthur said these words, Claire’s heart skipped a beat, and her palms gradually broke out in a thin layer of sweat.

Although she looked carefree, her cheeks couldn’t help but flush when she heard this. “This, this is a joke, right?

“Mr. Jarrett, you’ve met countless people. I’m a woman with a scumbag ex–husband, two children, and about to be a grandmother. If anyone hears this, they’ll laugh their teeth off.”

“They tried to force me to submit to them, to become their plaything. I would rather die than follow, so I could only. struggle desperately, revealing my identity and threatening them with death.

“Perhaps at that time, Clusia still held some influence, and they were afraid of causing an international incident. So they didn’t force me but just locked me up. However, one of them still wouldn’t give up and secretly drugged my food with aphrodisiacs.
