Chapter 629<\/p>\n
Claire\u2019s words, combined with her pitiful expression, made it seem like she had truly endured a great deal of suffering<\/p>\n
The others, upon hearing her story, couldn\u2019t help but feel more anger towards Stella.<\/p>\n
Even Leo and the others, who had moved to a safer distance, felt their hearts clench with sympathy.<\/p>\n
Hank quietly wiped away a tear. \u201cI had no idea my mom had it so bad. I need to talk to Cherise when we get back.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis grudge needs to be settled\u201d<\/p>\n
Crow\u2019s face was filled with fury. \u201cClaire is just too pitiful. I wish I had been faster to get here\u201d<\/p>\n
Leo chimed in, \u201cExactly, how could they do this to our kind\u2013hearted and beautiful Claire? I\u2019m going to tell Mr. Chivers when we get back<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Ryan, who was standing with them, coughed lightly and averted his gaze.<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t show much expression, but inside, he was thinking that if he hadn\u2019t been there to witness everything, he might have believed Claire\u2019s story. She didn\u2019t seem like someone who had been kidnapped at all.<\/p>\n
She was calm and nonchalant, as if she were just playing house.<\/p>\n
And the part about hair\u2013pulling\u2013Claire was the one who had yanked Stella\u2019s hair.<\/p>\n
Stella, standing by the shoreline, was completely stunned. She stared blankly at Claire, unable to comprehend the situation.<\/p>\n
Normally, she would have her parents backing her up, and she was used to dealing with people who were more refined. Now, she was alone, and Claire\u2019s unconventional tactics had thrown her off balance.<\/p>\n
Stella was seething with rage, wishing she could strangle Claire, but the man standing beside Claire made her hesitate.<\/p>\n
Claire knew exactly what Stella was thinking. She paused for a moment, then casually linked her arm through Arthur\u2019s, and raised her chin.<\/p>\n
She stared at Stella with a look that said, \u201cWhat can you do about it?\u201d<\/p>\n
Crow nudged Leo with his elbow. \u201cHey, doesn\u2019t Claire seem a bit manipulative right now?\u201d<\/p>\n
Leo nodded in agreement. \u201cYeah, she\u2019s got a real knack for this,\u201d he gave a thumbs\u2013up.<\/p>\n
Arthur had been listening intently to Claire\u2019s story. When she finished, he turned his gaze towards Stella.<\/p>\n
Unlike when he looked at Claire, his eyes were now filled with disapproval, and the air around him seemed to press down with intensity. \u201cI didn\u2019t expect the Waltons to so blatantly disregard the law. Or do you think your family is above the law?\u201d<\/p>\n
Somehow, despite his calm tone, his words carried a powerful weight.<\/p>\n
That made Stella take several steps back and shake her head frantically. \u201cNo, Arthur, you have to believe me. She\u2019s lying. Everything she said is false.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t pull her hair; she pulled mine. Look, you can see where she yanked my scalp and left it bare.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s pretending to be weak. She\u2019s good at it. Don\u2019t be fooled by her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stella actually showed Arthur the spot on her head where her hair had been pulled out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-652","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/652","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=652"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
