Chapter 23 She Couldn’t Give Up Like This!

There were so many people watching!

She drew her hand back with some force but not too much.

The feeling was simply awkward.

Sean lowered his head and looked at the small hand in his palm. It was fair, delicate, with slender,

boneless fingers. When Claire picked up a spoon in their last meeting, he had imagined what it would

be like to hold such a gorgeous little hand.

It felt fantastic now that he had it in his hands!

Do all girls’ hands feel this soft?

Claire’s face heated as her heart beat faster. Then, she said softly, “Sir

Sean let go of her hand with a curled lip. “Your hands are quite heated. You seemed to be pretty ill. I’ll

take you to the hospital.”

Claire shielded her face as her hand was released. She already had a fever, and her face was as hot

as a flame.

Fortunately, he had been holding her hand beneath the table. Otherwise, she might have fainted from

embarrassment on the spot.

Sean was only concerned about her health. He didn’t mean to be disrespectful.

How could he possibly do something obscene to her with his straight and

sensible demeanor?

She seemed to have overthought things.

Claire adjusted her breathing and said, “Sir, I’m feeling much better now. There is no need to visit the

hospital. Look, everyone is still standing!”

Sean finally turned his focus to the others after Claire reminded him again. “Please take your seats.”

This private room had eight dining tables, each seating ten people. The table

Sean sat at had become the head table.

Some people were self-aware and realized their status needed to be improved. So, they automatically

moved to surrounding tables.

On the other hand, Mr. Smith and the producer would naturally sit at the head

table and on the other side of Sean.

No one dared to sit next to Claire because the head table was soon to be entirely occupied. Elena

stepped over and lifted her chin while swishing her dress.

Claire turned to face Elena before her bottom touched the seat. “Elena, didn’t you tell me at the hotel

entrance not to walk close to you? Why are you willingly sitting next to me now? Aren’t you afraid of

being photographed by paparazzi?”

Elena’s bottom froze mid-air, and she couldn’t sit down anymore.

CLOSE

Claire was quite irritable!

She knew Elena wanted to sit closer to Sean. Now that only this seat was left, she said those words.

Wasn’t that making her uncomfortable?

She smiled sweetly and tenderly held Claire’s arm. She tried to suppress her rage. “Claire, what are

you saying? I was joking with you…”

“Heh…” Claire wasn’t polite, pushing Elena’s hand away. “But I took it seriously!”

Last time, she had given in to Elena because she was unaware of Elena’s attitude toward Julia. It

wasn’t a big problem, so she let it slide.

Elena’s expression abruptly changed. She would have hit Claire across the

face if Sean hadn’t sat beside her.

“Claire.” Elena’s face had darkened. “Why are you being so two-faced? I took such good care of you on

stage. Now all I want to do is sit next to you for

dinner …”

Claire sneered, “Do you really just want to sit next to me?”

Her intentions were clear. Elena’s hidden goals were evident to the entire

crew.

But anyone with eyes could see Sean treated Claire differently. Elena’s move

at this point was truly shameless.

Elena didn’t care at all about the looks people were giving her. They had come this far, and she was

just one step away from being a wealthy family member. She couldn’t give up like this!

Even if others criticized her behind her back and called her shameless

afterward, as long as she could win Sean’s heart and become Mrs. Vanderbilt, all those stupid

comments would be meaningless!

“Claire …” Elena furrowed her brows and looked at Claire with a wounded expression and almost in

tears. She put on a delicate yet pitiful performance as she said, “How could you possibly think of me in

this way?”

Two teardrops flowed down her cheeks as soon as she said the words, showin

her lifetime acting abilities.

Sean’s expression darkened. He forcedly slammed the spoon he’d just picked up onto the table. He

remained silent, but the tension in the room was evident.

Victor was so irritated that he considered murder!

What’s wrong with this woman?

Wasn’t the last incident supposed to have taught her a lesson?

She couldn’t spar with anyone, so she had to fight Claire. Wasn’t this playing straight into Mr. Sean’s

hands?

“Madam. Miss Donovan’s side is not open to just anyone. Please go to another table. Otherwise, don’t

blame me for being impolite and kicking you out!”

Victor stepped forward and spoke in his icy tone.

Those words wholly lost Elena’s face!

She had no pride after being chased away by Sean’s assistant and hearing such cruel words.

Mr. Smith noticed Elena was still standing there. If she were genuinely kicked out, it wouldn’t just be

Elena’s face that would be destroyed. It would be the reputation of the entire crew!

“Elena, take a seat somewhere else. Don’t embarrass yourself!”

The producer furrowed his brows and said, “Your clothes are dirty too. Sitting here is inappropriate.

Hurry up and leave!”

Elena was irritated and on the edge of tears. She just wanted to be closer to Sean. Why was she

treated as if she was a pariah?

Even if she’s shameless, she couldn’t possibly stay here any longer.

Elena glared at Claire and lifted her dress. Then, she turned away, and her eyes filled with hate. The

crew had already taken their places. The only available spot was at the innermost table, in the corner.

Elena gritted her teeth and endured the humiliation. Then, she walked over to the table.

“Julia.”

Suddenly, Claire’s voice came from behind Elena before she could even move her foot.

“Come over here and sit beside me.”

Elena saw Julia enthusiastically stand up amid the others’ envious stares and run toward Claire.

Whether by accident or design, Julia’s shoulder collided with Elena’s chest

like a solid lump of iron as she sprinted passed her. A loud sound came out, and Elena was almost

knocked over.

Her chest, in particular, felt such a powerful and tingling sensation!

“Ah …” Elena cried out and gripped her chest. At that moment, her face turned pale from the pain.

Julia came to a halt. She covered her mouth with both hands and looked astonished. “Oh no! Elena,

did I hurt you?”

Elena would generally have played pitifully. But she was already in such a horrible position. She didn’t

want to exacerbate her situation.

She grasped it with a pounding agony in her chest and tried to keep her calm. Heh… it was just a minor

accident. It could not have been harmed in any

manner.”

“Why not?” Julia stood with her hands behind her back. Her gaze fixed on Elena s tightly clasped

hands. “Isn’t silicone quite fragile? Just now, I mistakenly used a little too much force. What if it bursts?”

A muffled sound came out, and several people couldn’t help but burst into.

laughter.

Burst? Hahaha!

Why was Julia being so naughty?

Did she believe it was a balloon that would pop with a single bump?
