Chapter 26 You’re Pretty Good at Dodging, Huh?
“Julia, since you don’t know what that saying means, let me tell you. It means Claire isn’t to blame. The mistake lies in Mr. Vanderbilt’s interest in her!”
Julia’s steps came to a halt. She turned around and glared at Elena. “Elena, I’ ve never met a more shameless woman than you! You even fight in the restroom over men. You want to take-it-out on Claire because Mr. Sean isn’t interested in you?”
“Heh! So what if I take it out on Claire?”
With that, Elena opened her bag and calmly took out a slim, cylindrical Wooden tube.
A wicked and nasty smirk tugged at the corner of Elena’s lips as she gazed at Claire. Then, she gently twisted the tube’s cap.
Julia had no idea what that thing was, but she knew it wasn’t something good.
Her heart raced as she extended her arms and sheltered Claire behind her. “Elena, what do you intend to do?”
“Do I really need to have an intention?” Elena’s expression darkened even more, and she abruptly removed something from the wooden tube.
It was a delicate, frosty glimmer on a thin, long silver needle about ten centimeters long. Julia’s hair stood on end just thinking about it.
Elena approached Julia and Claire, holding the silver needle to Julia’s eyes.

“I simply want to leave a few needle marks on your precious Claire’s body.”
When she saw Julia’s fear in her eyes, she laughed maniacally. “Hahaha. Don’t worry. You’ll only experience discomfort when this needle pierces your skin. There will be no blood flow, and even medical equipment will be unable to detect it.”
“Lunatic! Elena, you’re a complete lunatic!”
Julia took Claire’s hand and turned to run out of the corridor. Elena’s assistant, standing nearby, ran over and blocked their path.
“Haha. Claire, Julia, you can’t escape! I won’t let you off the hook today. I want you to feel terrible pain and the wrath of my heart!”
As the words left her mouth, Elena surged forward with the silver needle directed toward Claire’s face. Julia clenched her teeth and tried to grab Elena’s hand barehanded. But Elena swiftly turned her wrist. The silver needle pierced Julia’s hand right in the palm.
“Ah!” Julia cried out and instinctively withdrew her hand. A scorching and stabbing pain pierced her palm, causing tears to fill her eyes.
Elena was enraged by Julia’s sobs and tears. Then, she gloated to her assistant while holding the silver needle, “Hold her down for me! I want her to realize the consequences of stealing a man from me!”
“Okay!”
The assistant rubbed her hands together and smiled evilly as she approached Claire.
Her fate was tied with Elena’s because she was Elena’s helper. She rose when Elena rose and sank when Elena fell. Elena’s honor and humiliation were
inseparable from hers.
So, no matter who stood in Elena’s way, she would gladly join forces with Elena to overcome the obstacles.
“Claire, be sensible and don’t struggle. Otherwise, don’t blame me if I

accidentally shatter your hand or arm!”
Claire stood there and coldly watched the two women approaching her.
She usually avoided interacting with strangers when someone set their sights on her. Well …
Now, she would definitely make them regret it!
“Claire! Claire!” Julia became increasingly concerned when Elena and her assistant approached Claire. She wanted to run over.

She had just started lifting her foot when Claire’s voice suddenly screamed, “Julia, stand there and don’t move!”
How could Julia possibly stay still? Elena’s silver needle was brutal, and her palm still throbbed in pain from where it had pierced. She took a step forward while sobbing.
Claire knitted her brows and fired over a stern glance. Her tone was higher than ever as she said, “I told you to stand there and not move!”
Julia suddenly froze. Claire had never treated her that harshly before. She paused for a bit before dropping her lifted foot.
“Heh! You two are thick as thieves,” Elena sneered as she clutched the silver needle. Then, she signaled to her assistant and said, “Claire, let me fulfill your wishes!”
As she finished speaking, her assistant grabbed Claire’s arm. Claire’s lips curled with a hint of devilry, and she effortlessly avoided the assistant’s hands with an elegant sidestep.
The attempt by the assistant failed, leaving her upset and unhappy. “You’re pretty good at dodging, huh?”
She spread her arms and lunged again toward Claire. Claire shifted her body to avoid the assistant’s hands and simultaneously lifted her foot. She kicked the assistant in the stomach and made her wobble back two steps. The assistant gripped her stomach and crouched on the ground. She was unable to - stand because of the pain.
Julia was puzzled. She knew that Claire was resourceful and clever. But she had no idea when Claire’s skills had become so impressive!

Claire had stopped her earlier for a reason. If she had gone over, she would not only have been unable to help, but she could have hindered Claire’s performance.
“Hahaha! Claire, you’re amazing! You’re so strong! I love you!” Julia exclaimed while holding her injured hand.
Elena was utterly enraged. Despite her most extraordinary efforts, she had never managed to damage Claire. She sprang at Claire-and gripped the silver needle with tenacity. Then, she yelled, “Claire, go to hell!”
Claire’s stare sharpened. She stood firm as a boulder, and her deep brown eyes fixated on Elena’s silver needle.
At that moment, a group of people suddenly emerged from the end of the corridor. The leader was a tall and powerful man with a royal aura that pressured the entire hall.
Elena caught a glance and shivered in terror. While she was in a panic, a delicate small hand abruptly pressed onto her shoulder before she could retract her hand. Then, she felt a sharp pain in her shoulder after hearing a cracking sound. The next moment, uncontrollable tears sprang from her eyes.
“Ah!” A scream that sounded like a slaughtered pig pierced the air, echoing along the entire corridor.
Upon hearing the cries, people who hadn’t yet arrived at the scene quickened their speed.
Sean arrived at Claire’s side in a matter of seconds.

He placed his slender fingers on Claire’s shoulder without looking at Elena. Claire was scrutinized from head to toe by his anxious stare as he said
nervously, “Claire, are you okay?”
Claire blinked gently with her deep brown eyes. She smiled sweetly at him ar tilted her head.” I’m fine.”
The person who was actually in pain was the one crying right now!
Sean sighed in relief and stroked her on the shoulder. His heart was still beating faster. “As long as you’re okay.”
Elena’s hand dropped to her side. She sat on the ground and cried desperately. “Ah, it hurts so much. It’s killing me. Huhu. It hurts so much
