Worship The Ground You Walk On

Chapter 80 You Can’t Threaten Me

In the delicate private room, a potted aloe was growing vigorously with thorns on its edge, like a tiger in

the cage preparing to show his sharp teeth.

Claudia was playing with the aloe and hearing Scott’s deep voice in a calm manner.

“I know it sounds foolish. After, the project is just designed for the Crawford Group by you. There isn’t

really much of the chance for the other companies!”

Claudia was surprised and thrilled. She didn’t expect that this secret would be uncovered by him so

easily.

“Besides,” Scott stared at her gently and looked deep down into her eyes, “I also know pretty much

about you. Do you want to know…”

Claudia looked at him curiously.

He noticed that and said, “Like… How did you become a mute fifteen years ago?”

“And how did you love a man devotedly but only received betrayal in return?”

Scott looked at her teasingly with a mysterious smile.

“Am I right, Claudia? Do you want to hear more?”

Claudia was in a panic.

This man was not only as aggressive as Ben but also had the ability to read her mind!

Scott had known too much!

He knew all these secrets she had been hiding!

“Are you surprised about me knowing all of these?” he asked rhetorically.

Claudia’s eyelashes started to quiver slightly. She would be speechless now even if she could speak.

She felt like he could see through what was hidden in her heart. Thinking about this, she couldn’t help

but shiver.

“Don’t worry, I haven't told anyone about these yet,” he explained, “But I’m not sure that I’m the only

one who knows your secrets.”

But Claudia just watching him at a loss.

Scott stood up and moved close to her. Then, he stroked her face gently and smiled.

He put his arm on the table and rested his chin on his hand. “Are you curious about how do I know all

of these?” he lowered his head and gazed at her.

Claudia nodded quickly.

She did not have to deny now. He wouldn’t believe it anyway.

In fact, he was quite pleased about her honesty and kept smiling attractively.

“You have been loving a person for a long time, right? Then you must know, that you can know

everything about a person if you have been loving him long enough.”

If you love someone, you would care much about him. On the other hand, if you care much about

somebody, you would generally be fond of him.

Sometimes, even Scott himself couldn’t figure out how did he actually feel about her.

Did he love her? Or he was just interested in her?

He looked into Claudia’s eyes.

The answer was ambiguous.

“I like you, Claudia,” he said frankly.

Scott put a chair on her side and sat down. He blinked his eyes, which were shining like obsidian, “So,

no matter what you are going to do, I will be on your side.”

Claudia paused. Not long ago he revealed all of her secrets, and now he started to say something

fancy to her. Did he think she would believe him?

“Do you love me? Or, do you love to make use of me and plot against Ben?” she made the gestures.

Everybody knew that the Palmer Group was a well-matched adversary to the Crawford Group. They

were the two leading enterprises in the industry with a similar size and never got along well with each

other.

Therefore, Scott always kept a watchful eye on Ben.

Besides, they had known each other since they were young. Though Scott only had a few dealings with

Ben, they still knew the characteristics of each other.

Claudia knew it clearly, that this man loved profit and manipulation than his lover.

He was more dangerous than Ben.

Scott read her gestures and laughed crazily.

But soon he stopped and stared at her with his dark eyes, “That’s why I like you, Claudia! You are

different from any other woman!”

“Maybe it’s because I know you pretty much, so I won’t fall into your trap easily!” she exposed his plot

directly.

His trick meant nothing to her.

Scott laughed again.

Claudia continued to say in sign language, “Stop wasting your time, Scott. Those things are no longer

secrets to me. Those who know about me can infer them from my past. As for the identity of Miss S, do

you think they will believe you even if you tell them?”

Would they believe that the distinguished trader in the financial world was an obscure mute? Would

they believe that she was the designer and operator of the CCU Project and MTT Project?

They wouldn’t believe it, including Kim and everyone in the Evans family!

Claudia went from rags to riches by her own efforts. She had never asked anyone for help. Even her

closest friend didn’t know the influence of her.

Therefore, she feared no man, let alone Scott.

“Save your breath, Scott!” Claudia smiled. She grabbed her bag and walked straight to the entrance.

Suffering a defeat, Scott was sitting in there blankly.

It was the first time he failed in winning a woman’s heart!

Claudia, Miss S.

You got me pretty good!

When she walked out of the tea house, she didn’t take a taxi immediately. She wanted to take a walk

on this cool summer afternoon.

When she was rambling on the pavement, her phone rang. She took a look at the new message and

frowned, calling a taxi to Central Hospital.

In the hospital, she walked past the maternity ward and was reminded that there was only a few birth

control pills left at home, so she walked into it and found the director.

Expressing her purpose to him, the director said worriedly, “Mrs. Clawford, the pill is too harmful to your

body. According to your health condition, I suggest you stop using it!”

Claudia smiled bitterly. Of course, she knew it was harmful, but it was his request…

“Why don’t you ask Mr. Crawford to take some measure?” the director suggested.

She frowned and felt awkward. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

He knew Claudia didn’t have much of a choice and wrote the prescription for her eventually.

Claudia was about to get the medicine, but once she left the ward a tall man blocked her path and held

her arm, grabbing the prescription from her hand.

It was Marshall.
