chapter 284: She’s Obviously Lying!
Sean smiled and asked Claire as he ate his breakfast, “Are you going to the office today?”
“No.”
Claire tasted the porridge and sighed softly, replying, “I want to rest for a few days before taking another job.”
For Lady Angela’s matter, Claire had been busy for a whole half month, waking up early and going to bed late. She needed to catch up on her sleep.
Sean couldn’t help furrowing his brows and asked, “What? Doesn’t it go well?”
Depressed, Claire pouted her mouth and stated, “I’ve given up.”
Sean knew that Claire was the type to give up easily, and he knew more than anyone else about the strength of Sinclaire Jewelry.
In addition to CoCo, there were also three other outstanding designers in the < company.
He knew better than anyone that Claire had long been ready to enter the international market, and it was the best opportunity this time.
All of a sudden, Sean’s cell phone ticked twice. He picked it up and found it was a WhatsApp message from Logan. The content on it made his eyes narrow in displeasure.
After a minute of contemplation, he replied to the message.
Claire turned her head to look at him, inquiring, “What’s up? Something
hapter 284: She’s Obviously Lying!
She hadn’t heard him mention it last night. How come he said it abruptly in the morning?
Claire’s eyes widened in surprise as she asked, “So suddenly?”
“Yes, I didn’t expect it either.”
Sean raised his hand and patted her shoulder, saying, “Go on having breakfast. After that, I’ll go up to pack things. Gerald will pick up and drop off Belle and Jon. You can do your own things.”
Claire wasn’t worried that Belle and Jon had no one to pick up or drop off. Instead, Sean’s business trip of uncertain time unsettled her a lot.
“Sir, is it that urgent?”
“Yes.”
Sean knew she was worried, so he gently pinched her shoulder and comforted her “Don’t worry. It won’t take long, two or three days at least, and a week at most.”
Fortunately, it wouldn’t take too long.
Since Sean didn’t say what he was doing, Claire didn’t ask.
The Paragon Group was such a big company, and Sean served as the president
so it was natural for him to have a business trip. If she always inquired
about it, she was afraid that Sean would be impatient.
After sending Sean out personally, Claire suddenly felt lonely.
This was not her home When Sean was not here

chapter 284: She’s Obviously Lying
This was not her home. When Sean was not here, this was a strange place for
her. She had been bothered by the feeling of living under another’s roof.
She finally understood the true meaning of the saying, wherever you are,
there is home.
Without anything to do, Claire took a walk around the manor. Soon, she arrived at the yard where Julia lived just as Julia walked out with a cat in her arms. When Julia saw Claire, she froze for a moment, and in the next second, she turned around guiltily, and ran towards the room.
“Julia!”
Claire stopped her, “What are you going back for?”
Julia spat out her tongue in depression, turned around with her cat in her arms, and smiled awkwardly, “Nothing, I was just thirsty and going back to
get a drink.”
Claire and Julia had been best friends since their childhood, so they knew
each other very well.
Claire looked at the expression on Julia’s face and knew she was lying.
But she didn’t expose Julia, saying. “Sean is away on a business trip and i don’t know when he’ll be back. If you’re free, you can go to my place and
stay with me.”
“Huh?” Julia hugged the cat in her arms tighter, stammering, “Claire…..
Bag girl! Julia finally exposed herself.
“Alright, I’m going to Frederick’s place. Are you going?”

Julia immediately nodded happily, “Yeah.”
Claire felt helpless.
Since Julia was into a man, she didn’t even want to accompany Claire.
Frederick had a regular timetable and he always got up early. At that moment, he was standing in the courtyard to water the roses. Seeing Claire and Julia
come together, he smiled gently and said, “Claire, you came just in time. I have left two pots of osmanthus wine for you. Originally, I wanted to send them to you. But you were too busy during that period, so I didn’t want to bother you. Come on, bring them back yourself.”
To be honest, Claire appreciated Frederick’s craftsmanship in brewing wine.
“Okay,” replied Claire delightedly.
Frederick took the wine out and gave it to Claire. Seeing Frederick and Julia looking at her together, Claire was confused for a moment and then
understood.
Well… she should go.
Forget it. It’s not good for her to watch the two talking about love.
But she felt somewhat aggrieved. When she and Sean were in love, she didn’t intentionally avoid Julia. But why was Julia different?
“Well, Frederick, Julia, I’m leaving now.”
Julia waved at her, uttering, “Bye, I’ll come to you when I’m free.”
Claire didn’t believe it at all.

Gerald laughed out and remarked, “Ms. Donovan, you’re really almighty. With you around, they don’t even need to hire a teacher. You have enough skills
for them to learn.”
Claire curled her lips and didn’t retort because she thought Gerald was
right.
Approaching the entrance of the school, Claire asked Gerald to park the car a little farther away, so as to avoid the traffic jam later.
Then, Claire got out of the car and stood not far from the entrance of the school. Belle and Jon’s class was always the first to get out of school. Claire looked towards the gate, and suddenly saw an extremely familiar figure actually following the teacher to send the students to the school gate.
Her heart skipped a beat. Without any hesitation, she pushed aside the people standing in front of her and ran over in a few steps.
Pulling Belle and Jon behind her, she looked at the man with a hostile face. and questioned, “Why are you here? What are you doing with my children?“.
The man was no other than Joseph!
He now came to the school every day. The money he had invested in the school was ready to be used in a program, so it made sense that he came over for inspection every day. Besides, Principal Davis had specifically asked Sean about it, and Sean had said it was okay, so he hadn’t stopped Joseph.
However, Joseph was hurt by Claire’s attitude and he said, “Claire, can’t I come and see my own grandson and granddaughter?”
“Who are your grandson and granddaughter?”
