Chapter 198 A Bootlicker

Lily's words toward Claire made her feel embarrassed. But the fact that Lily was only a maid caused Claire to feel like she did not qualify to teach her a lesson. She replied with conviction, "Who said I was just a guest? I'm very important in Lucian's heart!"

Claire spoke without a shed doubt. She completely relied on what Lucian promised her, and his feelings of being indebted to her.

"Mr. Lucian, Claire is not just a simple, innocent woman. Please do not be cheated by her sweet words!" caused by her anger towards Claire, Lily boldly exclaimed.

Since Lily's words were a bit harsh, Lucian felt a little nervous. But at the same time, he had a hard time holding back the happiness in his heart. Then he said in a positive tone, "Lily, please help take care of young master. I'll have breakfast with Mrs. Amelia first."

"Lucian, what about me?" Claire quickly asked, knowing that she had to make full use of Lucian's every free minute.

Lucian didn't even bother to respond. He knew that she was incredibly stubborn, so he just sat down at the table. Then Claire pleadingly said with a smile, "Lucian, please let me eat with you."

That morning, Lucian got up pretty late. Claire felt somewhat fearful and agitated,

because it wasn't easy for her to get a chance to grab Lucian's attention. If Lucian and Amelia were always together like glue, how could all her previous efforts be successful?

Amelia remained particularly calm during breakfast, only casting a glance at Claire from time to time while she ate.

"Lucian, today is a weekend. What do you have in plan?" Claire asked as she gently peeled an egg for Lucian. She then slowly placed it near his mouth with a grin on her face.

Even though Claire was good at catching people's attention, after hearing Nicholas praise Amelia, she did not dare to utter a single word.

"What about now? Don't you think you have too much self-confidence?" Lily couldn't help but ridicule Claire when they were the only two people left in the living room.

"It's still better than being a servant," Claire retorted but she was clearly having a hard time to fight back.

"I don't want to waste my time on you anymore!" Lily instantly responded. She didn't feel angry despite Claire's discriminating words because she never thought that being a servant was an inferior job. Moreover, Lucian and Amelia cared very much about her and never looked down upon her.

After some time, everyone was finished with their lunch. Amelia had planned to stroll in the backyard of the Zhan mansion with Mark but before she did, she asked Claire whether she would like to accompany her.

Claire immediately asked in return, "Will Lucian come with us?"

"Lucian is playing chess with Dad. He's not coming," Amelia answered her and added, "Lily has a stomachache so she went to rest inside. If you don't want to go, then I'll go first."

"Lily really won't come with you?" Claire couldn't believe it. She was relieved when she learned that Lily wasn't coming. She always thought that Lily would accompany Amelia wherever she went. Claire then agreed quite easily. "Okay, I'll go with you and help take care of Mark by the way."

"Let's go," Amelia said with a smile and walked ahead with Mark in her arms.

Claire closely followed in silence. An idea suddenly came into her mind. She thought that if she played some tricks right now, maybe no one would take notice.
