Chapter 4 - Victoria Paid Claire to Disappear
Victoria admitted offering Claire money.
One million dollars.
Claire refused.
Victoria then told Ethan the opposite.
She claimed Claire demanded money to leave quietly.
Ethan had been devastated.
He never asked Claire directly.

Noah.
Claire explained what happened next.
When she realized Ethan would not respond, she went to Blackwood Tower.
Security refused to let her upstairs.
Victoria met her in the lobby.
Claire told her she was pregnant.
Victoria said Ethan knew and wanted nothing to do with the baby.
Claire believed her.
“Why didn’t you go public?” Ethan asked.
Claire looked at Noah.
“Because I wasn’t going to turn my child into a weapon against a
billionaire family.”
Richard lowered his eyes.
Ethan looked ashamed.
Claire had raised Noah alone.
Not completely alone.
