Chapter 37 He Was Jealous
Just then, Victor ran in. After nodding to Jason in greeting, he stood next
to the bed to respectfully report, “Mr. Sean, we have just received news that Miss Donovan bought a two-room, one-bath apartment in Moonlight Bay for 3
million.”
3.8 million?
Sean was not happy when he heard that. Claire had only spent 38 dollars on the meal meant as a treat for him, yet she did not even hesitate before paying 3.8 million for an apartment.
The numbers were so ridiculously different!
He felt something surging in him.
He was jealous.
It felt like he was only worth 38 dollars to Claire.
“Victor!”
When he spat out Victor’s name through gritted teeth, Victor jumped. His back was as straight as a rod when he responded, “Mr. Sean?”
“Buy every unit in the building. I am going to be her neighbor.”
Huh?
Even Jason was confused by his declaration.

That was not a move meant for someone who only wanted to be a neighbor.. Sean was clearly trying to surround Claire on all sides so that no one else could get close to her.
When it came to going all out, Sean was still the king.
Victor hesitated. “Mr. Sean, while the building is quite new, at least 60% of the building has been occupied. If we buy every unit in the building, we might’…’
“Is there a problem?” Sean asked, glaring at Victor.
Vietor frantically waved his hands and shook his head. “Nope. None at all, I’ll get on it right away!”
Once Victor was gone, Sean instructed Jason, “Look into the Donovans, especially Claire’s mother.”
Jason felt his eyelids twitching violently. Was Sean going to dig into every inch of Claire’s life after making sure no one could get to her?
Why did it sound like Sean was trying to make sure everything about Claire, be it herself or the people around her, was under his control?
Tsk, tsk. Men were terrifying with their possessiveness.
When Sean saw the surprise in Jason’s eyes, he frowned. Regardless of hierarchy and generations, Jason was still older than him, so he was much more tolerant of Jason.

blood is thicker than water. Robert doesn’t seem to treat her like a proper father should,” Sean explained.
What happened four years ago was extremely underhanded and cruel. Even if Robert did not love Claire, he was still rich and powerful to not require
selling off his own daughter.
Furthermore, if the will actually dictated half of the shares were to be Claire’s, Robert could continue being the chairman if he was somewhat nice to her so that she would support him after inheriting those shares.
Unfortunately, Robert insisted on being the only one up top and turned the situation with Claire into what it was now because of his recklessness.
Jason nodded in understanding. “Very well, Mr. Sean. I know what to do.”
After being beaten by Claire, the Donovans were not happy.
Once they were home, they all started cursing her out through clenched jaws. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
“How could she bite the hand that fed her? We have fed and sheltered her for
23 years! How very ungrateful!”
Clarissa applied an ice-pack wrapped with a thin cloth across her bruised cheek while her eyes boggled from how hard she was glaring. “Mom, we cann let her continue on like this! You have to ask Uncle to punish her for us!”
Alice had an older brother who was a thug before he bought a quarry when Alice got together with Robert. With Robert’s connections, her brother, made quite a profit every year. Hence, he was now rich as well.
