" Everything that happened before was just a coincidence . Wake up ! " Jim was persuaded and , leaning on his cane , he gasped for breath , his face cold and turned away from Wes " The family is large , and others have been eyeing Claire for a long time . If anything happens to her , I won't let you off the hook ! Get a doctor to check on Claire . You all stay here and wait . " Vera rolled her eyes at me . " Mr.Vanderbilt , Claire's the campus slat - even if she were a mascot , her filths would curse your family ! " Jim was momentarily stunned by her words . The others were confused , but I understood why . Some time ago , after Vera had slandered me , I had been depressed , but to let her keep her dignity , I never told the family . I just kept my feelings to myself for a long time , Since then , the family's business had suffered continuous setbacks , Now , with Vera suddenly bringing it up , I feared Jim might believe it ! As I had expected , Jim fixed his sharp gaze on me for a long time , his brows furrowing deeply . Seeing it was working , Vera immediately egged on her lackeys to slander me further . " Clare's notorious , " Vera pressed , her sycophants nodding like puppets . " She screwed her professor for grades , then set her sights on Wes ! She knows she's no mascot - she wants your fortune !!! * Tim hesitated . He had always been indecisive , easily swayed by rumors . If it weren't for me forcefully changing fate over the years , he probably would have been wiped out in the business world by now ! Wes seized the opportunity , kneeling in front of Jim " Dad , listen to me . She's not some mascot . Everything our family has , you've worked hard for it . We've provided for her all these years , and now , you really want to let a woman with such bad character stay in our family for a lifetime ? " Jim still held on to a shred of rationality . He sent his assistant to check the company's situation . After confirming that the company hadn't faced any issues , and that there were no problems with him or Wes , Jim's eyes turned fierce . " She has already been beaten half to death . She's of no use now . Seal this . Everything that happened here today must not be leaked out . " Achill ran through me s going to take action against me ! Unable to speak , I struggled to call out , but Jim covered my nose and inouth with his band . " You u only have yourself to blame . The family is known for its kindness , and we can't let such a stain taint our reputation . Claire , you've been living off my family all these years , and now you dare to cover my son ? You've got no one to blame but yourself . " His grip tightened , and I struggled for breath . My vision blurred as I began to black out . Just when I thought I couldn't breathe any longer , Jim was suddenly knocked to the ground . A familiar yet strange lace appeared before me . I'm back ! " Pain shot through my body , and I could barely hold on any longer . I faluted . When I woke up again , I found myself in a hospital . As soon as Sean saw my eyes open , he hurriedly handed me water . Does it still hurt ? Don't move . Drink some water with the straw first . " Lopened my mouth , but my throat burned with pain .
