The Billionaire’s Surprise Twins

Chapter 39

Chapter 39 Find Claire Now!

Xander was a pampered rich boy who had never done a single household chore or set foot in the kitchen in his whole life. Since the servants were not going

to cook for him and he was too poor to order takeaway, he bought a carton of instant noodles. Those noodles were what he ate for every meal.

Clarissa refused to eat instant noodles. The mere scent of those noodles made

her feel sullied.

“Oh, my dear Clarissa, I have missed you so much!”

Xander wrapped his arms around Clarissa as soon as she stepped through the doors. Then, he eagerly carried her up the stairs…

Thirty minutes later with his arms wrapped around Clarissa, Xander made bold promises for their future together.

“Once Mom returns, I’ll have her throw us another engagement party. Clarissa, we’ll get engaged and then have the wedding early next year. I have everything planned out. We’ll get married on the Greek Islands with all of your family and friends in attendance. I’ll even sponsor their tickets. I promise you’ll have a grand wedding.” Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Vanity was present in every woman, and Clarissa was vainer than the average-

woman.

What Xander said made her grin with joy. How she wished the Greek Islands wedding could happen tomorrow.

She raised her head and kissed Xander on the cheek before wrapping her arms around him. “I have loved you since I was a child, Xander. My dream has

always been to be your bride. Once your mom returns, talk to her so that we can get married as soon as possible.”

“I’ll do my best.”

When he made those promises, he sounded so very confident. Now that she w asking about the promises, it was he would “do his best”. What?

Clarissa instantly got mad. “What do you mean by that? Should it not be something you owe me?”

“…”

Xander frowned as he hesitated. When he saw just how dissatisfied Clarissa was, his only option was to explain what he meant.

“Clarissa, my mom told me that as long as I can retrieve the shares Claire

owns, they would give me as much money as I want and turn a blind eye to my future actions.”

Claire?

Upon hearing that name, Clarissa’s face grew even uglier. “Do they want you to marry Claire? Is your mom not happy with me as your wife?”

“No!” Xander frantically replied. “It was because she owns 10% of our company’s shares. With those shares, Claire will always have a voice and power in the Morgan Group shareholder meetings. The company belongs to th Morgans, so why should she have the ability to meddle in that?”

Frustrated, Clarissa pouted. “You asked her for them?”

“I did but she refused me.”

Suddenly, a thought struck Clarissa. Her eyes lit up as she excitedly said to Xander, “Did you talk to her at the hotel or…”

“Naturally, I went to the filming studio. The production team is currently using the studio of my family …”

“Haha! You’re amazing, Xander!”

Clarissa excitedly squirreled out of Xander’s arms to kiss him in joy before putting on her clothes. “Give the me address of the studio now, Xander!”

The filming had been delayed by days already. To catch up to the schedule, Mr. Smith had everyone working late into the night on the first day Suzanne joined filming.

They would go to bed at four in the morning and start work at eight the next morning.

In order to catch just a little more sleep, the cast and crew decided to sleep on the set in sleeping bags instead of heading back to the hotel.

The next day was the same with a very late clock-off time and a very early start on the next day.

Claire followed their schedule for four whole days. On the fifth day, Mr. Smith was kind enough to let them head back to rest at 10:00 p.m. since everyone looked like they were at their limits.

“My goodness! I’m exhausted. I feel like I’m going to fall apart.”

Julia slumped down into a boneless heap on the passenger seat the moment she got into the car. She did not want to move a single inch.

Claire fastened the seat belt for Julia before buckling herself in. Finally, she started the car.

Claire had just started driving when she noticed the white van right behind her car.

Her red lips curled up into a smirk. With her left elbow resting against the car window so that she could rest her head on her left hand, she was now controlling the car with only one hand.

She abruptly sped up, forcing the van behind her to speed up as well. After racing down a whole street, she suddenly slowed down, forcing the van to do the same.

No matter how few working brain cells Claire had, she knew for sure that the van was following her.

She glanced at Julia who had already fallen asleep. With her right hand, she swiftly spun the steering wheel.

Her car swooshed down the street like a cheetah, racing past all of the cars ahead of her. Even so, she did not slow down at all, swerving and weaving through traffic whenever she could.

The people in the van behind her were shocked.

“Shoot!”

Sitting in the passenger seat was a man with bleached hair whose jaw had -dropped to the floor. “Darn it! I couldn’t keep track of the car. Did anyone

see where she went?”

The four men in the back of the car shook their heads with equally shocked

looks on their faces. “Not at all.”

“Aaron …”

The driver trembled as he asked the man with bleached hair, “A-Are you sure- that person is just a woman?”

Those were not driving skills that could be found at all in Silverton.

She drove like it was a game to her. No matter how many cars were ahead of her or how many cars wanted to overtake her, she just drove however she pleased, overtaking as many cars as she wanted. She would even change lanes multiple times without stopping once while weaving through traffic. It was terrifying!

Aaron Campbell was Clarissa’s cousin and the son of Alice’s older brother.

Alice had originally asked Aaron’s father to handle Claire, but he thought the kidnapping of a young woman was so trivial that he allowed Aaron to take charge and prove his worth.

None of them had expected to be forced to wait five whole days outside the film studio. Finally, the cast and crew were allowed to head home. He had only followed Claire’s car for a few blocks before he completely lost her.

Aaron angrily smacked the head of the driver. “Stop whining just because

LL-

C…

you’re not as good. Cut the chatter and overtake the cars ahead of us already. Find Claire now!”

The driver was near to tears from panic. “I can’t do it, Aaron.”

Meanwhile, after having easily shaken the van off her tail, Claire disdainfully smirked. Soon, she pulled into her apartment’s parking lot.

“We’re home, Julia. Julia!”

Julia had been asleep the entire time. She did not know just how harrowing an experience the ride home had been, She rubbed her eyes as she unbuckled herself. When she turned around, she cried out in shock, “Claire, look! What on earth!”

Claire looked in the direction she was pointing to find that it was because there was not a single car parked in the entire parking lot.

Claire had actually noticed that when she drove into the parking lot.

While not every bay had been occupied on the day they moved in, she recalled at least 60% of them had a car parked in the bay.

Now, however, the entire parking lot was empty except for their.car.
