Chapter 616
And both times, it happened when he was with her Hiram couldn’t help but feel he hadn’t been taking good care of Clair
“Why are you yelling at Clair? Don’t you know she’s not well? Can’t you speak nicely?”
“What’s the big deal about signing a celebrity? If she wants to sign, let her. It doesn’t matter whether this little star can get famous or not, the family is not short of this money How can you get angry about that”
Steven stayed silent
Janis brought the water and persuaded him, “Forget it, Clair is fine. As long as it’s about Clair, you’ll be nervous if there’s any trouble. Steven is also thinking about the company. Don’t you know how much he protects Clair? It’s fine. But you have hurt the feelings of the two children on the contrary”
Being woken up by the noise downstairs, Clair came down, “Dad, I told you Im fine. Why did you call Steven again?”
“TII just talk about him when you’re fine, and I’ll beat him if something happens!” Hiram glanced at Steven, “You don’t have to worry about this matter, just sign it if you sign it, can I still afford to pay for a starlet signed by my daughter?”
Steven said, “Dad, it’s not about losing money.”
“Bang-” Hiram slammed his cup on the table, angrily saying, “You still want to talk back to me!”
“Steven, stop arguing with your dad,” Janis intervened, “His blood pressure is high, he can’t be getting angry. Let’s just leave the matter for now. If the actor Clair signed does prove to be a problem, wait for her to make a mistake and then you can fire her. There’s no need to upset your father over this.”
Steven clenched his fists, and only after a while did he mumble agreement.
He knew, compared to him, Clair was Hiram’s favorite
Hiram was a doting father. The loss of his daughter from his previous marriage often kept him awake at night.
It took him many years to recover from the grief of losing his wife and daughter. His remamage to Janis was largely because of Clair.
She’s the same age, and had the same frail health, which easily stirred up Hiram’s longing for his daughter.
He treated Clair like a treasure, using her to channel his longing. That’s why he was so furious when he found out she was sick.
He was scared history would repeat itself.
Steven wondered how Hiram would react if he knew his daughter was still alive.
He’d probably scare Celeste into moving away overnight with his enthusiasm.
Better to get Celeste on board first, then it’ll be a natural progression for her to come back home.
After Steven left, Janis started nagging Hiram.
“Don’t always blow up at Steven, he’s not a child anymore.”
Hiram sighed, “I’m just angry, and besides, he’s thick–skinned, he won’t take it to heart.”
Steven wouldn’t take it to heart indeed. If he did, he would’ve moved out long ago because of his dad’s temper.
