She Has Three Little Treasures: Fake Heiress, Yet Captures The Tycoon's Heart-Chapter 844: What If She Dies? (2)

"I’m fine, I just really, really want to see Uncle Coleman." Claire Lowell clung to Uncle Coleman’s arm like a spoiled child. "Uncle Coleman, did you miss me?"

"Miss you, of course I did. If I don’t see you for just a moment, it feels unbearable." Uncle Coleman looked at Claire, who was snuggling up to him, sighed deeply, and spoke with tender concern, "You poor thing."

Hearing this from Uncle Coleman, Claire’s tears suddenly surged, and she cried out in grievance, "Uncle Coleman, Uncle Coleman!" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Alright, alright, stop crying, or you’ll not look pretty anymore."

Claire pouted, "Not pretty then, nobody cares anyway."

As she said this, Claire couldn’t help but recall the incident at The Hall of Penance earlier, and her tears began to flow again.

"Nonsense." Uncle Coleman glared at her, then looked at her with complete tenderness, "Who says nobody cares? I care, even the master cares."

"He doesn’t care. In Nameless’s eyes and heart, there’s only that woman." Claire’s tears fell even more rapidly, and she said pitifully, "Uncle Coleman, I’m afraid I’ll disappoint you and won’t be able to marry the master because he won’t have me."

When she uttered the last sentence, Claire felt an immediate, gut-wrenching sadness.

For someone as proud and self-assured as her, admitting to being overshadowed by another woman was extremely difficult.

"Don’t talk nonsense. How could the master not want you? In the entire Umbral Zone, who else but you, the young lady of the Lowell Family, could be worthy of the master?"

"But that woman..."

"Just a woman not worth mentioning. Wasn’t Orion Rivers once received with open arms at The Dark Tower too? And look at him now. This woman just got lucky, meeting the master when he was young and thus gained an advantage."

Hearing this, Claire felt even more discouraged. "Uncle Coleman, is this meant to comfort me? If that woman hadn’t met Nameless early on, I wouldn’t have lost so miserably."

"But what if she were to die?"

"What?" Claire was quite shocked. "Die? How could she die?"

Uncle Coleman retorted, "Why not die? We’re all flesh and blood; isn’t dying perfectly normal?"

Thump thump thump—

The loud sound was the beating of Claire’s heart.

Beyond the heartbeat, she heard the sound of her own desires.

Indeed, she was very tempted.

If she could, she’d rather see Raina North disappear completely from this world. Only by seeing her utterly dead would she feel completely at ease, as no amount of scheming to get Nameless to divorce her would suffice. Only death, her becoming a corpse, would remove her as a threat forever.

Yet Claire still had some wits about her, "Nameless values her so much; if she died, he’d surely investigate to the end. If Nameless found out the truth, he’d never marry the one responsible for killing his wife."

"What killer? What does that have to do with you?"

Claire looked at Uncle Coleman in confusion, and he said, "The one who might kill out of love and has the ability to do so isn’t you. It’s Orion Rivers."

Hearing this, Claire’s eyes suddenly lit up with excitement, "Uncle Coleman, do you already have a complete plan? Uncle Coleman, please, tell me quickly!"

"My dear young lady, please don’t shake me so much. If you keep going, these old bones of mine will fall apart," Uncle Coleman smiled as he saw Claire gazing eagerly at him. "This time? This time, do you have confidence in winning over Nameless?"
