How to Tame a Villain Character-Chapter 33: Business Trip

Claudia continued to show a gloomy face as she walked back and forth in her room to pack the clothes she needed for her two-day business trip. As she remembered, her arrival at President Howard’s residence brought disaster. President Howard has one son and one daughter, while his wife died long ago. According to the novel’s storyline, President Howard’s daughter, Clarissa Ainsworth, will die as a result of eating poisonous berries picked from the Ainsworth family’s garden.

Talking about Clarissa, Clarissa is actually a former member of the Scarlet Community. However, because she was busy taking care of her family’s mining business, she decided to leave the community.

Meanwhile, Claudia doesn’t know much information about Carlos, Clarissa’s older brother, because Carlos is very secretive and is busy working too. However, Carlos’s overly closed attitude actually made Claudia suspicious.

"What are you doing, Claudia?" Harry asked as he pushed his suitcase out of the walk-in closet.

Claudia looked away while taking a medium sized suitcase, then put in several dresses that she rarely wore. "I’m packing my clothes, can’t you see?"

Harry furrowed his brows as he put his hands on his hips. "It’s really unusual for you to answer me so fiercely. You seem to have been acting strangely since your father asked you to go on a business trip."

"That’s just your feeling."

"Then why have you been silent all this time? Are you hiding something from me?"

A rough gasp escaped Claudia’s mouth. "Why would I hide anything from you? You still don’t trust me?"

"Not–"

Claudia closed her suitcase roughly then pushed her suitcase out of the room. "We’d better go now. Let this matter be resolved quickly."

*****

Throughout the journey to President Howard’s residence, Claudia still kept her lips locked tightly, making Harry even more curious. Claudia, who usually liked to talk, now covered her mouth for no reason. Even though they had spent a lot of time dating all day yesterday, now it seemed like there was distance separating them.

This time Harry drove the sedan himself without asking someone to be a substitute driver, because he only trusted Thomas and several knights who were his right-hand men. After all, President Howard didn’t like many people visiting him.

"Harry, how well do you know President Howard?"

"President Howard is like my own uncle. He also helped my family a lot when my family business was on the verge of crisis."

Claudia nodded. "Similarly, my family has also been helped by President Howard. Moreover, he really loves me like his own child."

"What about Carlos? Are you quite familiar with him?"

"Regarding Carlos... I honestly only think of him as an acquaintance. Moreover, his attitude is cooler than yours."

Harry had a gloomy face as he looked at his wife who looked innocent. "How presumptuous of you to say that my attitude is very cold."

"I speak according to facts!"

Claudia also didn’t want to miss the opportunity to exchange information with Harry. In her memory, Harry and Clarissa’s relationship was not very close, but Claudia still didn’t know why their relationship had not improved until now.

"Are you familiar with Clarissa?"

Harry smiled a sinister smile as he gripped the steering wheel tightly. "Just hearing her name makes me so sick."

"So what? Even though Clarissa is beautiful. Have you never been interested in her?"

"You don’t need to know about that!"

*****

After traveling for quite a long time, Harry and Claudia stayed at an inn owned by one of Claudia’s father’s business partners. This inn looks quite luxurious if you look at the interior, making Claudia’s eyes light up.

When you open the VIP room at this inn, you are immediately greeted by a towel decoration in the shape of a pair of swans on the king size bed. Claudia’s face turned red and closed the door of the inn tightly.

"Why don’t you come in?" Harry raised his right eyebrow.

"It looks like this room is wrong," Claudia answered softly.

"Is it true? Even though this room is the only VIP room."

"But-"

Harry immediately opened the bedroom door wide while taking his wife’s hand into the room. Seeing the decoration of the room which was filled with a romantic atmosphere, the corners of his lips lifted as he looked at his wife’s head continuing to bow.

"So, you’re embarrassed to sleep in a room with such tacky decorations?"

Claudia nodded as she slowly moved away from her husband. "I actually didn’t expect them to decorate our room so excessively. Even though we never did that."

"Just get rid of everything." Harry took the initiative to help remove all these childish decorations, then put all the knick-knacks on the floor.

For some reason, Claudia had difficulty sleeping today because the room decoration made the atmosphere awkward and she found it difficult to face the day after tomorrow. If the actual storyline of the novel does not change, then prepare yourself to face disaster. Apart from being considered the murderer who killed Clarissa, the Ainsworth family also cut ties with their family. It felt like Claudia wanted to prevent that from happening, but how?

When Claudia wanted to drink water, from a distance her eyes fell on the figure of her husband who seemed busy staring at the tab screen. Claudia was very curious about what Harry was reading in the middle of the night. Could it be possible that Harry was doing the same thing when investigating Alice’s background information?

Throughout the night, Claudia couldn’t sleep well even though in the end Harry also fell asleep next to her after doing some hidden business. Her thoughts were disturbed considering that the plot of the novel had changed slightly since she married Harry. In the original storyline, Harry did not accompany her to visit President Howard’s residence. While now Harry is accompanying her, will the storyline change again? However, who will replace Clarissa’s life in the future?

Before continuing her journey, Claudia transformed her body by wearing a tight dress. However, how stupid she was to choose this dress even though she hadn’t worn it for years. Her tiny hands tried to reach the buttons on the back to cover the curve of her back before Harry was tempted.

"Damn it! Why do I have to bring this dress among all the dresses at home?!" she grumbled.

"You need my help?" Harry smiled a mischievous smile making Claudia swallow nervously. Even though Harry only offered to help, Claudia’s mind was already wandering.
