CHAPTER 683: CHAPTER 683: FIND A GOOD HOE (1)

In the kitchen.

Claire Lowell had already walked in proactively, put on an apron by herself, and started picking the hollow vegetables placed aside.

Raina North raised an eyebrow at Claire, then glanced at Elias Hawthorne.

Truly a domineering CEO type, he sure lives up to the title. Look at this, he hasn’t even done anything yet, and he’s got Claire Lowell, such a pampered young lady, cooking in the kitchen, washing her hands to prepare a meal.

This must be when a heart as cold as iron turns soft as marshmallow around the fingers.

It’s a pity though that Elias Hawthorne doesn’t have a heart as cold as iron; he simply doesn’t have a heart at all. Apart from Raina North, he doesn’t care about anyone else, so he straightforwardly says, "Miss Lowell, we don’t need your help. You should go rest."

Claire acted as if she didn’t understand the rejection in Elias’s words, smiling as she said, "I’m not tired yet, just let me do what I can. Otherwise, if you have to finish all these dishes Alliance Leader Rivers ordered, how long will you have to work for?"

Then she couldn’t help but say to Orion Rivers, "Alliance Leader, I know you’re used to having your own way and never pay much attention to these trivial things, but I still want to remind you that you should know Nameless is a person who does big things. With a heavy workload every day, even if he’s willing to be nice to you, it should be in moderation. Nameless can get tired too."

When Claire said these words, her tone carried hints of displeasure and resentment.

She truly couldn’t understand why Nameless would like someone like Orion Rivers while ignoring her devoted feelings.

Raina North couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, she poked Elias Hawthorne with her hand, lazily saying, "Since you’re so tired, why don’t you let me go hungry, just stop cooking then."

Claire furrowed her brows: "Alliance Leader..."

Elias Hawthorne held Raina North’s mischievous hand that was poking him, and said helplessly, "Don’t be silly. How can I let you go hungry?" He turned to look at Claire, his handsome face darkening, his voice cold: "Miss Lowell, I already said we don’t need your help. I think the meaning is not hard to understand, don’t you agree?"

Under the man’s imposing manner, Claire was stunned, staring incredulously at Elias Hawthorne, not expecting him to talk to her this way for Orion Rivers.

She couldn’t bear it anymore and shouted loudly, "I... I’m concerned about you!"

Elias Hawthorne’s expression was cold, his gaze increasingly frosty: "I’m sorry, but I don’t need it."

Claire only felt extremely embarrassed, biting her lips, her eyes turning red: "I know you think I’m meddling, but I really can’t stand by, I can’t just watch Orion Rivers take advantage of your... concern..."

She paused, unable to say that Elias Hawthorne likes and loves Raina North: "...do whatever he wants, that’s not a healthy romantic relationship."

Elias Hawthorne was straightforward: "That’s also something between Leo and me. I like her, I’m willing to do anything for her. Moreover, if you really care about me, you should be sensible enough to stay away when you see us together. Rather than interfering under the guise of helping, and especially not presumptuously criticizing Leo. Have you not considered that this could ruin the relationship between Leo and me? Miss Lowell, anyone with a shred of conscience wouldn’t do such a thing."

Claire Lowell: "..."

At this moment, Claire was breaking down. Being pampered and indulged growing up, she had never endured such grievances.

Tears immediately flowed down, and she sobbed loudly: "I... I’m doing this all for your good! Nameless, all I care about is you!"
