The Billionaire’s Surprise Twins

Chapter 308: Is That True?

Secing Claire frowning, Julia hummed with dissatisfaction, "Don't say that green plun wine can be found everywhere. The one brewed by Mr. Frederick is unique. It's especially tasty, sweet and sour, and refreshing. I promise that you will fall in love with it with one sip."

Claire rolled her eyes at Julia, who seemed to be brainwashed by Frederick. As long as someone showed a little bit of dislike or dissatisfaction with anything about Frederick, Julia would immediately explain and defend him tirelessly.

"Okay, I'll drink."

Shaking her head helplessly, Claire picked up one cup and took a sip of the wine. Her eyes instantly narrowed with surprise as she remarked, "Wow, it's amazing! It really tastes good."

"Of course!" Julia hummed, "Just look who brewed it!"

Well...

All of a sudden, Claire felt that Frederick was living an extremely comfortable and cozy life.

If there was a next life, she also wanted to be like him, who didn't have to manage the family business but had shares and dividends every year. With the money, he could invest in some projects to make profits. He didn't have to bother himself to work. Instead, he could do anything he liked and enjoyed with his great fortune.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Jesus! It was really annoying to make a comparison between them.

Frederick took a sip of wine and put the cup down before looking up at Claire and saying,

"Julia said that Sean is not at home you are bored alone, so she asked me to come over with her to keep you company."

Claire nodded sullenly, "Well, I'm indeed bored."

Frederick laughed softly, picked up the wine jug and filled Claire's cup. Secing Julia reach her cup over, he smiled gently and filled it for her as well.

He was about to say something when Claire's cell phone tinkled all of a sudden. It was a new email coming.

Who would send her an email at such a late hour?

Claire glanced at her phone screen. Since Julia and Frederick had nothing to talk to her, she picked up her phone and clicked on the email. When she saw the content of the email, her brows furrowed immediately.

Sensing the change in her mood, Julia asked, "Claire, what's wrong?"

Claire closed her eyes and calmed herself down before slowly opening them. Then, she responded with evident impatience in her eyes. "It's from Lady Angela. She asks us to go over tomorrow."

Lady Angela?

It had been over a week. Although it was not too long, Julia had already given up alter hearing Claire's words. However, Lady Angela sent an email to ask them to go over at this moment, which was kind of improper.

"Claire..." Julia pouted, annoyed. "What does Lady Angela mean? Before she came, she claimed that she was hoping to look for partners, but after she came, she told us that it was not the purpose of her trip. At the bidding last time, obviously Sinclaire Jewelry was the strongest company, but she didn't mention a word about it and requested to have a look at our design drawings. After that, there was no further news about it. I think she's just playing with us. We shouldn't go!"

How could Claire not see that?

However, since they had started, they had to do it to the best of their ability. With Sinclaire Jewelry's strength and potential, it would surely enter the international market shortly. Therefore, they'd better have one more friend than one more enemy.

Even if Claire knew that there would be no harvest in going over there tomorrow, she couldn't afford not to go and offend Lady Angela.

Business people always had powerful connections. If Claire, unfortunately, upset Lady Angela, which led to her criticism and accusation of Sinclaire Jewelry, its reputation would be damaged at that time.

Claire was now just a bit regretful that she had made those dishes for Lady Angela back then.

"We have to go, but don't get your hopes up too high, or the bigger the hope, the bigger the disappointment."

Julia looked at her, in a bad mood.

She had known Claire for so many years, and Claire had never been as disheveled as she was now.

Claire was always confident owing to her strength, but it didn't work with Lady Angela.

No matter what they tried, they couldn't make Lady Angela change her mind since she had no intention of cooperating at all.

"Alright," nodded Julia.

Now that they were going to meet Lady Angela the next day, Claire let Julia go back to rest early.

Even if she didn't have any more hope, she still had to face it in great shape.

The appointment was arranged in the afternoon. After preparation, Claire and Julia headed for the hotel.

It was in the same conference room. When Claire arrived, Sasha and Mia were there too.

Paula, who she didn't think would come, actually came too.

Claire said hello to Paula and took a seat next to her.

Sasha had been staring at Claire unkindly from the moment she came in, but Claire ignored her.

"Claire, I heard you have secured impressive gains at the Felix family the other day. Is that true?" asked Paula in a flat voice all of a sudden.

Claire let out a faint laugh. Sasha must be pissed off by the insult.

"It's true. Not bad, anyway. I've gained a piece of Secondary Deposit Jadeite. It's worth a lot."

"That's good."

Paula revealed an envious gaze as she remarked, "If Winona was still alive and saw you this powerful, she would definitely be proud of you."

Mia's expression changed drastically when she heard this. That bitch Winona passed away so many years ago, but she could still hear the name, which irritated Mia a lot.

"Claire."

Before Sasha could utter a word, Mia spoke first, "I've heard that you're Joseph's biological daughter. Is this true?"

Her tone didn't sound like a normal inquiry, but rather with a touch of sarcasm. Claire furrowed her brows in boredom and ignored her.

Mia seemed to have expected that Claire would not pay attention to herself and gave a sneer, "I know you don't dare to admit it. After all, at that time, Joseph went abroad and Winona was going to marry Frederick. It's really hard to say whose bastard you are."

Claire was not yet angry, but Paula's face darkened first. Furrowing her brows, Paula picked up a document at hand and harshly threw it towards Mia's face.

The sudden movement shocked everyone present for a moment, especially Mia, because people on their generation knew that Paula was very cultured and well-behaved. Not to mention taking the initiative to hit someone, Paula usually wouldn't fight back even if someone pointed at her nose and scolded her. At most, she would only turn around and walk away, turning a cold shoulder to the other party.

It had never happened that she threw things at others because of an offensive remark.

Therefore, Mia didn't react to what was happening for a while. Caught off guard, she was hit by the document suddenly flying over.
