Chapter 7
Claire looked at Zane intently, not missing any emotion that flashed in his eyes.
But the reality broke her heart completely.
From Zane’s eyes, she could tell he was serious.
He truly wanted her to kneel and apologize to Emma.
Claire laughed coldly, uttering just two words:
“DREAM ON!”
With that, she turned and left without looking back.
She didn’t even return to the private room.
Whether it was Zane or her former friends, she was done with all of them.
Claire suddenly recalled a saying:
Promises are like paper–they’re void as soon as they’re written.
The person who once protected her from everything and couldn’t bear to see her suffer the slightest grievance had ultimately disappeared.
After leaving the club, Claire took a taxi directly to the Gray family mansion.
She thought that this departure might mean she would seldom return home in the future, so she wanted to visit Uncle Gray before she left.
On the way, Claire received a video call from Jackson Meyer.
When the video connected, instead of Jackson’s handsome face, she saw a field of bright golden sunflowers.
“Claire, don’t these sunflowers look beautiful?”

“I planted them especially for you.”
“Didn’t you promise me that if my sunflowers bloomed, you’d grant me one wish?”
Jackson was Claire’s junior at university.
Since falling for Claire at first sight, he had pursued her relentlessly.
But at that time, Claire’s heart was filled only with Zane.
Unable to give him the response he wanted, she had always been cold to Jackson.
But Jackson wasn’t discouraged at all, always followed behind her.
In his words, as long as Claire wasn’t married, anything was possible.
Hearing Jackson’s words, Claire was stunned.
She hadn’t expected that a casual remark she’d made would be taken so seriously by him.
Just like how she had taken Zane’s playful words as truth.

“Yes, what wish do you want me to grant?”
Jackson carefully said: “I hope you can come back. I miss you.”
Claire’s eyes flickered slightly, and she fell silent.
Jackson thought she was angry and quickly apologized:
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have used this to pressure you.”
