Outside came the sound of diggers.

Clara Ocean turns off her computer and goes to the window.

Several workers in orange overalls were planning a garden with blueprints.

The garden, which Du LAN had built for her, was filled with flowers she liked.

In the past life, Du LAN and Joy Ocean moved themselves, so that she would willingly stay in this home to pay, has been keeping this small garden.

Now she refused to be silly to pay, Du LAN is too lazy to spend on her, naturally will tear down to please Joy Ocean.

This is par for the course for Clara Ocean, but she doesn't mind adding to Huaquin Ocean's popularity.

Clara Ocean counts the time and runs out barefoot.

She walked in a hurry, and with her leg hurt, she staggered and nearly fell to the ground several times.

Seeing the distressed Clara Ocean, Ma Wang hastened to meet her, "What are you going to do, Madam?"

"My garden, my garden..."

"Murmured Clara Ocean's mouth.

With so much fighting outside, the Queen Mother knew that her wife was going to tear down the garden and make over the swimming pool.

The garden has always been the little place of Clara Ocean, where she likes to stay whether she is sad or happy, just like the soul sustenance.

Seeing her in such a state, Wang Ma felt distressed and said, "Madam, you must lighten up."

She was not her own daughter, so she would not think of everything for her.

Getting rid of the little garden was just the beginning. There were many things like it to come. Clara Ocean had to think better of it so she could stay in this family.

Clara Ocean rushed out of the house as if she couldn't hear what she was saying.

When Ma Wang starts to chase her, Du LAN's voice behind her says, "Ma, leave her alone."

"Madam, this..."

Duran's voice was unmistakable. "Go about your business."

Wang Ma looks at the expressionless Du LAN and shakes her head helplessly.

She does not understand, how can the lady be so ruthless to the big miss, just because there is no blood relationship?

...

The excavator is in motion.

Almost instantly, the delicate, fragrant flowers turned into messy petals falling to the ground.

Just as it was about to hit the cradle chair, a white figure appeared under the excavator.

The man in the car flicked the lever and looked at Clara Ocean angrily. "Don't you want to live?"

If he hadn't acted fast enough, Clara Ocean would have died.

Clara Ocean spread her arms wide. "Don't you destroy this place."

The master said in distress, "Little girl, we are hired by the master to work here. If you want to stay here, talk to the master and leave us alone, OK?"

Clara Ocean stood there obstinately, refusing to leave.

The master was about to make a phone call when Duran arrived.

"Clara, what are you standing there for? Come here!"

Clara Ocean pursed her mouth aggrieved. "They're going to touch my bassinet, and I won't let them."

Duran said, "I told them to touch it."

Clara Ocean stared in disbelief, "Why?"

Du LAN looked at Clara Ocean's clear eyes and felt guilty in the bottom of her heart. She pressed her lips and did not look into Clara Ocean's eyes. "Joy wanted to learn how to swim, and mom wanted to build an outdoor pool for her.

"Did Mom forget that I'm not a good swimmer?"

Duran didn't forget, she didn't even think about Clara Ocean.

She turned and touched the top of Clara Ocean's hair, calming her down. "Clara, be a good girl. Your sister didn't want anything when she was a little girl, and now she just wants a pool.

Clara Ocean didn't like that. "But there's such a big place over there. Why do you want to touch my little garden?"

It's only been a few years since the Ocean family moved in, and much of the space is unplanned, including an empty lot in the backyard that could be used for a giant swimming pool.

Ms. Duran's choice of the area would have made it obvious to anyone that she was pushing Clara Ocean out.

When Du moved, she had a reason: "The feng shui master said this is a good place to build a swimming pool. If you want a small garden, Mom can build one for you somewhere else."

Clara Ocean laughed mockingly, "Mom, why do you give me the excuse? Since you and your sister don't like me in this house, why don't you let me go?"

Dulan frowns.

Clara Ocean grabbed her hand on the top of her hair, solemn and serious, "Mom, I can leave this house and I can leave this city. I don't have to stay in this house. Would you please not exclude me in this way?"

Clara Ocean had some acting in it, but she meant it from the bottom of her heart.

She doesn't want to be in this house for one second.

She thought Clara Ocean was ungrateful and wasn't as gentle with her as she had been before. "Clara, Mom never meant to kick you out of the house. You just thought too much."

Clara Ocean is also afraid of Clara Ocean to leave here, it is not good to explain to Huaquin Ocean, casually runaround her a few words on the go: "Mom will find someone to design a small garden for you tomorrow, don't make trouble out of nothing."

A cold light glints under Clara Ocean's eyes.

She didn't stop her master's work, but she didn't leave either. She watched the excavator crush the flowers she had watered one shovelful at a time. She watched her bass-chair being thrown to the floor like garbage by the workers.

Clara Ocean's heart began to freeze, and the idea of being strong became stronger and stronger.

...

It did not occur to Huaquin Ocean that something happened to her after she had not been safe for several days.

And this time, the issue is more serious than ever. The media reported that Ocean Cooperation was short of cash, so it rushed to get Clara Ocean married.

Even the Qin Group has been hit hard.

What made him most angry was that at this juncture, Song Zhenting began to take advantage of the situation and stole several cooperation deals that he had been talking about for half a month or more.

Huaquin Ocean's office is now in shambles.

"Mr Ocean, the priority now is to get Miss Clara and Master Qin to admit that they were a free love affair, not a family marriage."

Huaquin Ocean tugs at her tie irritably. "What do they say about the Qin family?"

"The Qin family said they will fully cooperate with us."

The secretary took an invitation from her pocket and handed it respectfully to Huaquin Ocean. "It's an invitation to a charity auction from the master of the Qin family, inviting Miss Clara to come along."

Huaquin Ocean took it and immediately understood what Aaron Willo was up to. He grabbed the car keys and marched off.

When Huaquin Ocean returned home, he looked at the busy servants. "Where's the lady?"

"The lady is in the backyard."

Huaquin Ocean didn't hesitate and went straight to the backyard.

Clara Ocean stood among the ruins, her long dress swaying in the evening wind, her arms tightly folded, her back looking lonely and desolate.
