Chapter 272: What Are You Laughing At?

Paula, seeing that Lady Angela had agreed, took Julia and Kira to sit down on

the couch across from Claire.

Lady Angela’s eyes never left Claire’s face with inquiry and curiosity.

“Did you make those dishes?”

Claire graciously replied, “Yes, I did.”

Angela’s eyes fell on Claire’s tender and soft hands, “Your hands don’t look

like those of a cook.”

“Oh…” Claire laughed pleasantly, “Cooking is just a hobby of mine, I used to do a lot of it, but rarely do

it now.”

Lady Angela nodded and exchanged pleasantries with Claire, who was relaxed instead of nervous, the

chat lightened her mood.

“CoCo, I’m curious, why did you make me those dishes?”

“Lady Angela, I wanted to see you and so did others. Odds are you’ve met a lot of people since you got

off the plane.”

Lady Angela laughed as Claire finished speaking.

She found Claire interesting, not like the businessmen she’d met before.

When those businessmen came to her, they either offered her money or gifts, and it was the first time

she had encountered something like Claire who cooked for her.

She was an interesting person and Lady Angela liked her.

Seeing her smile, Claire shrugged, “It’s really hard to get to meet you. So before I came here, I learned

some information about you and knowing that your grandfather was from Highland and that you were

brought up by your grandparents, I guessed that you would like our home cooking here, so I gave

it a try.”

Claire had just finished speaking when she saw Lady Angela’s hand suddenly clench hard, a gesture

one only does when her heart’s been touched.

And Paula also saw it.

But Paula didn’t think the matter was as simple as Claire thought.

Celebrity profiles are easy to find but most of them contain only the basic information, and it’s hard to

find any information that dates back to such a long time ago.

Claire even found this, which meant she had wide connections.

Lady Angela naturally thought of it too, so she didn’t ask any more stupid questions and got right to the

point, “CoCo, I’m only coming to Ascalon this time in the name of digging business opportunities, my

purpose isn’t actually that so I’m afraid I will have to let you down.”

Kira was pissed upon hearing this.

If her purpose was not that, why did she let out the news and make their

efforts in vain?

Did she think their time was worthless?

“Lady…”

Paula grabbed her hand and squeezed it hard. Kira turned her head to her

mother and saw her mother’s warning look, she pouted and swallowed her unspoken words in

frustration.

Lady Angela’s expression changed, “CoCo, thank you for cooking for me today,

but I’m sorry, I won’t give you access to the Ucasia markets just because of

that. I’m a businesswoman, I have my principles and I would prefer that you don’t say anything about

having met me today.”

The cold tone made even Paula feel a little uncomfortable, not to mention

Julia and Kira.

Claire, however, maintained the smile she had always had, “Of course, I won’t

say anything. It’s just that, Lady Angela, no matter what your intentions lie, since you’re here and the

news has been spread, you have to give us a chance, right? Otherwise…”

At that, she paused and suddenly cocked her head innocently, “Otherwise, even if I don’t say anything,

your purpose here will come to light.”

Lady Angela froze for a moment.

How could this woman in front of her say something so threatening with the most innocent expression?

She took a closer look at the expression on Claire’s face but realized that

other than the words she had just spoken, there wasn’t the slightest hint of aggression in her eyes or

her expression.

“Alright, I’ll arrange a meeting, you can go back and wait for the notice.”

She gave an order of dismissal and Claire smiled and stood un nodding

Leaving Lady Angela’s room, Paula took a deep breath as if she’d been in a

battle, cold sweat oozing from her forehead.

“Claire, that was such a bold statement you just made! You have definitely offended her by saying that,

and even if she has agreed to hold a meeting. you’re only doing someone else a favor, why bother?”

said Paula.

Kira was totally on Claire’s side, “Lady Angela didn’t even think about doing business! Mom, you didn’t

hear what she said? If she didn’t mean to do business here, how could she take it to heart? I don’t think

Claire did

anything wrong!”

Julia was always on Claire’s side and she, of course, agreed with Kira!

So she didn’t make any remarks about it and just waited for Claire to speak

1. up.

Paula was all worried when Claire burst out laughing. Paula grabbed Claire’s hand, “Claire, what are

you laughing at?”

“Aunt Paula.”

Claire patted Paula’s hand reassuringly and explained, “Lady Angela is a smart person, even if she

didn’t figure it out just now, she will in a

moment.”

Paula pursed her lips and looked at Claire without a word, not really knowing what was on Claire’s

mind.

“It’s very simple. Lady Angela must have something else going on this time in Ascalon, and she doesn’t

want outsiders to know about that matter so she made this excuse. Since I could find her past with her

grandfather, she will soon figure out that someone must have leaked it to me. So. I wasn’t threatening

“Aunt Paula.

Claire patted Paula’s hand reassuringly and explained, “Lady Angela is a smart person, even if she

didn’t figure it out just now, she will in a

her, but reminding her.”

Paula’s realization dawned on her, “I see.”

“But I don’t think Lady Angela has much sincerity in doing business here, so we can only do our best

and the rest will depend on fate.“”

When she got home, Claire kicked off her shoes straight away and lounged on

the couch.

Julia brought out a lot of food and ate it while keeping her company.

In the evening, Sean picked up Belle and Jon from school and came back and just as he walked in the

door, he saw Claire lying there. He shook his head and walked over, “What? Bad day?”

Claire squinted at him and pouted, “It went well and it went terribly.”

Sean frowned at Julia, who then reacted to the fact that she had only told Logan they met Lady Angela

but had forgotten to tell him the results.
