Worship The Ground You Walk On

Chapter 24 I’m Here with You

After Conrad was vaccinated, Claudia was about to go home. It was a sunny day. Doves flew beyond

the central square and many pedestrians stopped to have fun.

Gorgeous water columns spouted by the music fountain rose and fell with the music and changed their

shapes like a dazzling dance. It was quite beautiful. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Claudia stopped and looked at the fountain just as Conrad woke up, so she held him in her arms to feel

the lively atmosphere there.

She heard someone called her as she was enjoying the view.

“Miss Evans.”

Claudia froze and looked at the man who called him.

She saw a tall man in a nice suit, seemingly an employee from the Evans Group.

And only the people from the Evans Group would call her “Miss Evans”.

The young man nodded slightly and politely said, “Chairman Raba would like to meet you.”

Chairman Raba referred to Theodore Raba.

Blair's second husband, who was the executive chairman of the Evans Group now.

So nominally he was also Claudia's stepfather.

The Evans Group was not far from here - only a ten-minute drive. Claudia held Conrad and followed

the young man directly to the chairman's office. The man politely made a 'please' gesture, and then

respectfully left.

Claudia pushed the door and came inside. Theodore had waited for a while. He sat on the sofa

smoking.

On seeing her coming, he hurriedly got up and also said towards little Conrad in Claudia's arms, “Hello,

my baby grandson!”

Conrad was too young to understand him. He just winked his eyes and looked at him quietly.

He did not even smile.

A loving expression flashed in Claudia’s eyes. It seemed that the mother and the son were indeed

connected. Conrad was so young, but he knew that they were in a poor relationship.

As a stepfather, he had barely spent time with Claudia as she was growing up. He was more like a

stranger to her than a father.

And Claudia would never forget that after her mother was diagnosed with psychiatric disorder, it was

Theodore who first advised to send her to a sanitarium.

Claudia knew that he was not a good man.

Theodore wanted to reach out to Conrad, but Conrad simply ignored him. Claudia stood still, showing

no signs of help. He felt embarrassed with his arms reaching out.

They sat down and Theodore began to talk about some household affairs - something about how Blair

missed her and hoped that she could bring Conrad home.

But Claudia also took the opportunity to make a request. She quickly typed on her phone, “Can I see

my mother?”

Her mother was sent to a sanatorium many years ago. Claudia had met her less than ten times. Her

mother was more like a prisoner than a patient.

Theodore was slightly stunned and said, “Claudia, look. Now you have Conrad to maintain your

position in the Crawford Family. I was wondering if you could help me with something.”

That’s why.

That’s why he wanted to see Claudia.

Claudia looked at him indifferently.

“Actually it's no big deal... It's the CCM project. Can you persuade them to give up the project so that

we could have it?” Theodore said.

Claudia frowned and remembered that the CCM project, the commission of counter make chemical,

was a joint project cooperated with a German company, whose main business was daily chemical

industry. It could exactly meet the demands of both the Crawford and the Evans Groups.

And it was said that the project was profitable. It was no wonder that Theodore, having a hard time,

would aim at this lucrative project.

“Only a strong Evans Group can provide a better life for you and Amber. Right?” Theodore began to

persuade her.

Claudia still stared at Theodore indifferently without blinking.

He was a little nervous.

The Evans Group was the legacy left by Claudia's birth father, so Claudia was actually the only heir.

It was Blair and Theodore who worked together to murder her father, tamper with the will, poison her,

and get the property of the Evans Family.

Theodore could not run the company well and finally asked for her help when the company was in

danger.

“Claudia, you are also a member of the Evans Family. You should make a contribution!” Theodore

sighed and looked at her cell phone. He said, “You want to see your mother, don’t you? Of course, you

can. As long as the Crawford Group gives this project to us, I’ll immediately take you to see her.”

On hearing that, Claudia’s heartbeat almost paused for a second!

Mother. She had not seen her mother for too long.

The last time Claudia saw her was when she was about to get married. But she didn’t think the

Crawford Family would agree to give up the CCM project.

Finally, Claudia left the office with her child in her arms, and before she left, she typed on her phone,

“Let me think about it.”

Theodore gazed at her back and clenched his fists fiercely. The Evans Group was in trouble, or else he

would never beg the mute girl in such a humble and submissive manner.

That little bitch! He regretted not getting rid of her back in those days.

Claudia came downstairs and unexpectedly, she saw Amber.

Claudia heard her voice even from a long distance. She was showing off her new bag and lipstick with

a few staff at the front desk. Her voice was delicate and sweet.

Claudia wanted to ignore her and leave in a hurry, but as soon as Amber turned around, she saw

Claudia.

“Hello, sister.”

Her voice drew people’s attention.

Amber wore a pair of beautiful high heels and walked up with an elegant pace, gazing at Claudia and

the baby in her arms with contempt. She said tonelessly, “He’s my little nephew, right? Let me hug

him!”

Just as she finished speaking, she directly reached out to grab Conrad from Claudia’s arms.

Conrad suddenly cried because of her sudden movement and the fact that she did not know how to

hold a baby.

Claudia was heartbroken and wanted to take Conrad back, but Amber ignored his cry and just stared at

her coldly, “You can't talk, so Ben would be worried if you look after the baby alone.”

Little Conrad cried even louder.

His cry tore Claudia’s heart apart.

“You don’t know how to take care of a baby and he's crying!” Amber said in a sweet and affected voice.

She was a perpetrator and pretended to be a victim.

Claudia got angry and grabbed Conrad back without hesitation.

She comforted Conrad for a while, and he stopped crying as soon as he got back into the arms of

Claudia.

Amber looked at her, and her face clouded swiftly. She looked at the baby bitterly and gnashed her

teeth indignantly, “You’ll infect him. What if he becomes a mute like you?”

“Of course he won’t.”

Everyone there heard a gentle voice and saw Hanna walking from afar.

Her glorious appearance was covered by a soft smile like a spring breeze. She first glanced at Claudia

and Amber, and then looked at Conrad in Claudia's arms.

“Ben asked me to spend more time with Claudia and Conrad. I’ll be there for them, so Conrad will be

able to speak.”
