Chapter 116 Shall I Go And Beg That Gigolo?

That evening, Claudia returned to her parents’ house. Maisie and Adam were both surprised to see their daughter back.

"Claudia, you're out? Your dad and I have been trying to pull some strings to get you off the hook!" Maisie exclaimed with joy.

Adam also looked relieved. "We talked to Tom, and even though he kicked us out at first, he ended up helping you in the end!"

Claudia snorted at their words. "Tom didn't do anything for me. He doesn't want anything to do with me anymore.”

During her time in custody, she had called Tom on the phone. But Lachlan had scared him so much that he wanted nothing more to do with Claudia.

Tiger and his men had been caught by the police while Tom was present at the scene of their arrest. He saw firsthand how powerful Lachlan's connections were and how terrifying his strength could be. Even Eduard himself came personally with his troops to help Lachlan out of trouble.

And as for Lachlan himself... he was a force to be reckoned with.

Tom knew better than anyone not to mess around with him anymore - especially when it came down Claudia who happened be Lachlan's ex-wife!

"If it wasn't Tom or Lachlan who helped you get out of trouble then who did?" Maisie asked curiously.

Adam chimed in too, "Lachlan must still have feelings for you! Maybe he softened up after all these years? After all, everyone knows how much he loved you back then.”

Claudia's eyes flickered a few times upon hearing this but she shook her head dismissively, "It wasn't either of them. Don't worry about it."

With that said, she went into the room that Maisie had set aside just for her use during this visit home.

Although she said this on the surface, Claudia couldn't help but feel a slight unease. After entering the room, Claudia hesitated for a while, then dialed Lachlan's number.
