Love Me Or Leave Me

Chapter 301

Time flew by, and a month had passed. Claire had finished her confinement period and no longer needed to be as cautious every day as before.

After discussing with Charlie, Claire decided to invite an Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

an expert to teach her combat arts. She didn’t want to live in constant fear and caution forever. One day, she wanted to go out and live a normal life like everyone else. Especially now that she had a daughter, she needed to protect her in the future.

It wasn’t just Claire who wanted to learn combat arts. Charlie soon realized the responsibility resting on his shoulders. He needed to protect his wife and his daughter in the future. So, he decided to train alongside Claire.

Claire and the baby had special identities as direct descendants of the Jones family. There was a possibility that even extended members of the Jones family might target them. They couldn’t hire outsiders to care for the child, so only family members could take on that responsibility.

Fortunately, after caring for so many babies, Debra had become skilled at looking after children. She no longer went out shopping with her friends every day. Instead, she preferred staying home and playing with Serena, her granddaughter.

“Rena” was the nickname of Charlie and Claire’s daughter, and the child’s full name was Serena Carter. The name was chosen by Claire. It doesn’t carry a complex meaning. It was just a wish for her daughter’s life to be serene and pure, unlike the darkness associated with the Jones family.

In addition to learning combat arts, Claire, like Charlie, also used the internet to invest in various ventures. Having been trained as an heir of the Jones family for many years, Claire had a keen eye for investment. The projects she invested in quickly became profitable.

Life was getting better, and time was passing quickly. Occasionally, Debra couldn’t help but drag Claire out for a walk. It had been a while since the incident with the Jones family, so they probably weren’t being monitored every day. Most importantly, they brought extra bodyguards to ensure their safety when they went out.

Occasionally, they would also visit the Carter family’s mines. The mines were rich in high–quality emeralds. When they came across something they liked, they would cut them and have them made into pieces of jewelry they fancied.

As time passed, Serena grew up gradually. She learned to roll over, say “Dad” and “Mom,” and walked. Every milestone in the child’s growth brought joy to the whole family. Especially Charlie, who would always pick up his daughter and spin her around, making Serena giggle with delight.

To make it easier for Claire to watch movies, Charlie built a large home theater in their house. This way, they could enjoy watching big movies without leaving home.

When the little one was over a year old and walking steadily, Claire had already selected several original novels online and bought the film adaptation rights. Charlie immediately sought out a professional editor to adapt these novels.

It was worth mentioning that the entertainment company Charlie started, the L&K Group, had developed into a leading company in the entertainment industry over the years. The company had a wide range of actors, so they didn’t need to look for actors outside if they wanted to produce a drama. They could use their own.

Malcolm had already become an award–winning actor a few years ago, and his popularity had remained high. Over the years, he had become a well–deserved national idol. When he learned that the script Charlie was using was selected by his wife and intended for adaptation, Malcolm didn’t hesitate at all. He immediately agreed to take on a major role and promised his best performance in the drama.

With Malcolm’s involvement, the drama’s viewership was almost guaranteed. Many newcomers in the company were eager to be cast in the show.

Charlie directly arranged for the company’s internal director to interview the company’s employees. He then had them send the results to Claire for review. Since these novels were Claire’s favorites, Charlie felt she would know what kind of actors she wanted.

Claire indeed knew what she wanted. Although she wasn’t experienced in this, she had thoroughly studied the characters personalities in the books before buying the adaptation rights. Based on her understanding, she selected suitable actors and consulted Charlie for his opinion. Charlie was undoubtedly a professional. With just a glance at the actors‘ performances, he could tell who was suitable and who wasn’t. Together, the couple finalized several scripts.

Once the scripts and actors were in place, Charlie instructed the team to begin filming. The shooting process was quick, finishing in just a few months, followed by the release and broadcast. The first script became a hit!

Charlie stayed in their home theater and watched the first drama with Claire.

As the following dramas were still in production, Claire suddenly said she wanted to go out and have a look. Charlie hesitated, worried about potential dangers outside. However, in the end, they decided to go out together. They couldn’t stay at home forever. Although their home was safe, living in a place that felt like a prison was also frightening.

The first outing went smoothly without any incidents. The only downside was that because Charlie was once an award- winning actor, too many people recognized him. Now, whenever he went out, he had to disguise himself. Otherwise, being recognized could lead to a lot of trouble.

Charlie was not afraid of being recognized by others, but he was worried about paparazzi taking photos and accidentally exposing Claire. What if someone from the Jones family saw Claire and sent people to deal with her?

They were still very cautious on their second outing, but it went smoothly without any incidents. After the first two outings, they went on a third, fourth, and so on. Gradually, their outings became more frequent, and they grew bolder over time.

Perhaps since Kelly had not appeared for a long time and had not returned to claim the Jones family’s inheritance, the Jones family no longer wanted to target her. After all, she was now with Charlie, and the Hoggard family had made it clear that they would protect her. If the Jones family still wanted to take action against her, it would be an obvious offense against the Hoggard family. It would not be a wise move.

The robots manufactured by the Hoggard family had the world’s best attack and defense capabilities. Royalty and leaders from various countries were using them. What would happen if the Jones family offended the Hoggard family and the Hoggard family refused to take on any more orders from the Jones family? At that point, all the top–tier nobles worldwide would have high–tech

robots developed by the Hoggard family, and the Jones family would not have any. They would quickly face disaster.

When Serena was two years old, the power struggle among the collateral branches of the Jones family finally ended. Through the Hoggard family, the new family head quietly sent regards to Charlie and Serena, or rather, Kelly, and expressed their intentions. The general message was that as long as Kelly did not intend to return to fight for their power, the Jones family would not take any action against her. They reassured her not to worry. Meanwhile, the Jones family proposed a truce to the Hoggard family, expressing their desire for long–term cooperation.
