Claire was speechless.
What could she really say if Matt wanted to call it admiration?
She turned around and looked out the window at the view lit by the brilliant sun as she smiled. “I wanted to do it myself since it’s my mother’s company. While it feels nice to have you guys around, it still feels like I’m throwing my weight around.”
“What’s wrong with that?” Matt frowned and stepped forward to stand next to Claire in front of the window. “Robert and Adam have been bullying others for decades. They might have been too scared to target the rich or powerful, but they have tormented many of the ordinary people. They deserved this.”
In the end, at least they were taught a lesson.
A thought suddenly struck Matt, and he turned to look at Claire. Her skin was bathed in a gentle halo of sunlight. It was so smooth that he could not see a single pore on it. She was incredibly gorgeous.
“Robert has been in Silverton for long enough that he still has some connections, Boss. You’ve humiliated him so badly today that I think he’ll definitely be back.”
“Heh.” Claire nonchalantly chuckled. “Let him try. Let’s see what he’ll do.”
Robert has been in charge of Alpha Ventures for so many years that Claire needed to conduct a spring clean.
After Claire placed Matt in charge of that task, she recalled that Sean would be flying back today. After patting Matt on the shoulder, she said, “I’m

“Boss!”
Claire was a professional who always left as soon as she was done with her task. Matt, however, wanted her to stay longer.
“How about a meal together?” he asked,
“Your time is best saved for your girls. I’m going home to spend time with Jon and Belle.”
Matt sighed as he watched her leave. “Those girls aren’t as interesting as you. Whatever… it’s better than eating alone.”
When Claire walked out of Alpha Ventures, she found a black Bentley parked by the doors.
She froze for a moment before jumping with joy when she saw the man stepping out of the car. She happily ran over.
“Sir!”
When she was just a few steps away from Sean, she leaped into the air and gave him a big bear hug.
Sean had his arms opened and caught her. When he saw her flushed cheeks ar bright smile, he chuckled. “Did Belle learn that hug from you?”
“No!” Claire pouted. “I have never hugged a man like this before. I just… maybe it’s genetics.”
Genetics?
That was not a had explanation

While it was not a very dignified way to hug in public, Sean adored it as it
showed just how much Claire missed him and it was a chance for them to just cling to each other.
He could not enjoy the hug for long as Claire soon got off him and immediately stepped into his car.
Sean shook his head with a smile on his lips before following her into the
car.
As everyone said, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Sean had only been away for a day, but Claire missed him so much that as soon as Sean sat down next to her, she immediately wrapped her hands around his arm. The awkward reservation from before was gone.
Sean gently stroked her delicate skin with a finger. “I hear something major
happened today.”
“It’s not that major,” Claire casually said. “I just took back what was meant to be mine in the first place.”
A thought suddenly struck her, and she looked up at Sean while holding a hand out to him with her palm up like she was waiting to be paid. “Where’s my present?”
Sean chuckled and turned to grab a bag from the trunk. After opening the bag. he pulled out an intricately decorated box and handed it to Claire. “For

The box looked very old as the satin fabric had turned dull and yellow with the passage of time.
Still, Claire could find hints of the box’s past glory in the texture of the
Chapter 88 Incredibly Gorgeous
She did not take it and curiously asked, “What’s inside?”
Sean grabbed her hand and solemnly placed the box in her palm as he said, “See for yourself.”
The box was rather heavy. Perhaps its age had made the box heavier. Claire took a deep breath before gently opening the box.
Inside the box was a bracelet that glowed and shimmered in slightly green hues of light.
Judging by the luster and the color, the gemstones on the bracelet were some
of the rarest diamonds and emeralds.
Claire had researched gemstones in the past, so she knew just how rare diamonds and emeralds of this specific luster and cut were.
“This is too much. I can’t take it.”
She closed the box and placed it in Sean’s lap.
He pursed his lips as he looked at her. “You said that you won’t be impressed by just anything, yet you say this is too expensive. What should I do with you?”
What should he do with her?
Claire frowned and sat up straight. “I was only joking. You could’ve given me anything. This bracelet must be priceless. Most people would keep it locked up as a family heirloom.”
Diamonds and emeralds were gemstones that spoke of wealth and nobility, especially when they were of the highest grade and cut by master craftsmen.

They were exceedingly rare.
Sean really liked to go all out. His gift was so expensive that she nearly died from fright.
“Claire.”
Sean picked up the bracelet from the box and gently grabbed Claire’s arm. Carefully and slowly, he put it on her wrist.
“Look, your skin is so fair that it looks perfect on you.”
It looked great, but it was way too expensive.
Claire was going to take it off, but Sean immediately stopped her.
“It’s a gift from my mom to her future daughter–in–law.”
“Daughter–in–law?”
Claire silently blushed as she bit her lip. Her voice sounded rather raspy as
she exclaimed, “Don’t tell me this is a marriage proposal.”
Sean tenderly held her arm with admiration shimmering in his dark eyes. Just as he thought, only something as precious as the best diamonds and emeralds was fit for Claire.
How could she be so beautiful?
“Heh.” He chuckled. “You can think of it that way.”
What?
Claire had expected him to deny it, not admit it without hesitation.

It really was a marriage proposal!
“Sir!”
Claire pouted in dissatisfaction. “This must be the most half–hearted marriage proposal in the world.”
“Is this considered half–hearted?”
Sean frowned and thought about it for a moment before turning to pull out a folder from his bag. As he placed the folder in her hands. He asked, “Is this a better show of sincerity?”
