Worship The Ground You Walk On

Chapter 50 Deliberate Action

“If I hurt you, Claudia, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!”

Hanna apologized repeatedly and sincerely. Her behavior and attitude were perfect.

Even a tyrannical person would accept her apology and calm down at this time, not to mention Claudia

with a good temper.

Claudia looked at her and took a deep breath, not knowing what to say to her at all.

“I’m just seized with a sudden impulse. Really, Claudia, believe me! Don't be angry with Ben. It's all my

fault. I’ll control my emotions properly...”

Hanna kept explaining to Claudia and made her embarrassed.

After a few minutes, she could only take a deep breath before raising her hand and gesturing, “You

don't have to apologize. There’s nothing right and wrong in matters of relationships.”

But Hanna looked at her with a soft and kind smile. She said with a charming voice.

“If you and Ben were just dating, perhaps I’m not wrong. But you're already married. I know I’m

destroying your marriage. It’s immoral!”

She knew that!

She had said so and Claudia had no choice.

“Although it’s true, I don’t think you did anything wrong. In short, you don’t have to apologize to me.”

Claudia said again in sign language.

But Hanna shook her head, “I should apologize for the sake of Conrad. He's so cute. Although I love

him, I never had the intention or preparation to be his stepmother.”

She said in a joking tone to ease the tension between them at this time.

Claudia realized that she was joking and smiled softly without saying anything.

“I'm sorry for turning our relationship into this! In fact, it’s what I’m afraid of most. So even if I really love

Ben, I never dare reveal my thoughts...”

Hanna lowered her head and stirred the hot coffee with the spoon.

“We are gradually knowing each other and I found you are very kind. I don’t want to lose you, such a

good friend...”

Hanna raised her head and looked at Claudia with her bright eyes, as if expecting something.

Claudia said in sign language, “You still love Ben because you once dated and were special beings to

each other.”

After a pause, Claudia continued, “You don’t need to apologize for your love, but I can’t bear it. After all,

he's my husband and the father of my son!”

Even if their marriage was doomed to failure, and he would never love her, Claudia would rather make

the best of an error without rectifying it and try her best to protect their family.

She could only grabbed the so-called happiness by herself.

Claudia was about to leave and said in sign language, “I'm sorry, Hanna. It seems that we can't be

friends!”

Looking at Claudia's departing back, Hanna sat there with a complex expression.

On the way back, Claudia sat in a taxi testily, so she simply took out her phone and texted Kim to tell

her what had happened the whole day.

Kim was the only person whom she could totally believe and pour out her grievances to.

After reading her long message, Kim directly replied one world, “Fuck!”

“...”

Claudia was a bit speechless.

Kim immediately called her and said directly, “Obviously, Hanna is the mistress. Think about it, she’s

pretending to be kind. She approaches you and makes friends with you. She’s pretending!”

Claudia was slightly stunned. Pretending?

Kim said again, “She wouldn’t talk to you if you weren’t Ben's wife. Why would she treat you well?”

If Claudia were not Ben's wife, not to mention Hanna, almost everyone around her would leave.

She had seen enough snobbishness in the business area.

“Don't be deceived by her hypocritical appearance. If she doesn’t want to destroy your family, she

should leave before, or simply stop contacting with Ben! She was his ex-girlfriend. It was actually a

subtle relationship. She knew it, didn’t she?”

Kim needled Hanna again with relatively direct but hard-hitting expressions, waking Claudia up.

“That woman is not a good person. She was much more complicated than Amber. You have to be

careful! The more she pretends to be understanding and harmless, the more Ben will be attracted. This

is the soft kill without spilling blood! She’s so calculating.”

Amber sighed and worried about Claudia’s life. She said, “But you are at least the elder daughter of the

Evans Family. Let’s see. If Ben and Hanna really rekindled their love, you can take Conrad abroad! Go

to a place he can never find, so he will regret it for the rest of his life!”

“...”

Claudia listened to her analysis and felt anxious. Her heartbeat became heavy, and her feeling was

unspeakable.

When Ben was about to leave, Mr. Hunt came over to sign the contract of advertising renewal with the

Crawford Group. Ben saw the document on the table and then remembered that it was sent by Claudia.

She came to the company just because of this document.

He recalled that she left in a humble manner. Her eyes were full of sadness like a broken crystal doll,

with only lonely soul survived.

He tightened his fingers subconsciously and did not hear what Mr. Hunt said.

Ben was jolted out of his thoughts when Mr. Hunt finished speaking and looked at him. He glanced at

Mr. Hunt and said coldly, “We can renew the contract, but the share of interests should remain the NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

same.”

Mr. Hunt frowned and said, “Our company has been working with the Crawford Group for several

years, and this time the CCM project was our company's strong point. We can do our best at both

publicity and advertising. Anyway, as for the interest, we can't give in anymore!”

Ben looked at him coldly with a contempt smile in his eyes.

He sat still while Mr. Hunt stood up and said, “The CCM project is promising, and several companies

are targeting at it. Without good publicity, such a good project would exist in name only. Think twice, Mr.

Crawford.”

Mr. Hunt asked for a high interest. He thought that they had been working with the Crawford Group for

several years and was considered an old customer, so he wanted to revise the interest dividends to get

70 percent bonus in the future.

But it was impossible for Ben.

After Mr. Hunt left, Nate slowly went forward and asked in a low voice, “Mr. Crawford, we won’t make

no concession in the cooperation with Mr. Hunt. Right?”

“Concession?”

Ben repeated the word and sneered.

No one could challenge his decision since his childhood, except for the marriage of Claudia and him.

He would never give in anyway.

“Just tell him. Sign it or get out.” There were many advertising companies waiting for cooperating with

the Crawford Group.

He did not care about a small company - Hunt Advertising at all.

Nate understood and nodded repeatedly, “Yes, sir.”
