Chapter 274: Are You Crazy?

Claire stood there, stunned, unable to react. Her feet seemed rooted to the spot, unable to move an inch further. Her mind was consumed by a single fact: Antony had donated a kidney to Sam’s brother just to secure this collaboration.

In an instant, Claire’s eyes welled up with tears that streamed down her face. She thought to herself, “Antony, why are there such foolish people like you in this world?” She stood there, dazed for a long while, until someone approached and called out to her, snapping her back to reality.

“Miss? What’s wrong? Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?”

The cleaner, upon entering, saw Claire with red eyes, crying nonstop, her face pale as she stood motionless. The cleaner was terrified.

“I’m fine.”

Claire wiped away her tears and rushed towards the private room where they had just negotiated, as if possessed.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Campbell, but we can’t collaborate this time. I…”

She dashed into the room, said this to Sam, and pulled Antony out with her.

“Claire, what’s going on? What happened? Mr. Campbell had already agreed. Why did you say we can’t collaborate?”

Antony, seeing the still-wet traces of tears on Claire’s face and her anxious expression, thought something had happened to her. Claire didn’t answer him. She kept pulling him out of Eclipse Nightclub before speaking.

“Antony, what have I ever done to deserve this from you?”

“What are you talking about?”

Antony was taken aback and immediately pretended to know nothing, thinking Claire must have overheard something.

“Don’t you know what I’m talking about? Antony, if I hadn’t found out, would you really have donated a kidney to Mr. Campbell’s brother?”

“For a collaboration, for me to stay at the Hiokeeh Group, you’re going to lose a kidney. Is it worth it?”

“Do you have any idea what it means to lose a kidney? Antony, are you crazy? Huh?”

Claire interrogated Antony frantically.

“Claire, I’m not crazy. I’m very clear-headed right now. I know exactly what I’m doing. As for the kidney donation, I registered as an organ donor a long time ago.”

“It’s not entirely for you. I just recently got a call from the hospital saying someone was a match for my kidney, and it just so happens that person is Mr. Campbell’s brother, so I thought of the collaboration. It’s just a convenient thing to do.”

Compared to Claire’s agitation, Antony was extraordinarily calm, even looking blissful.

“Convenient?”

Claire was shocked. He was going to donate a kidney so she could stay at the Hiokeeh Group and spoke of it as if it was nothing significant!

“Antony, I don’t care what the truth is, or whether you’ve been an organ donor before. I have one thing to tell you, if you dare to donate your kidney, I will quit on the spot.”

Claire nodded firmly, immediately dispelling any thoughts Antony had of donating his kidney.

“Claire! Do you know what Eclipse Nightclub is? Do you understand how difficult it is to collaborate with them?”

Antony was genuinely surprised by Claire’s determination.

“Really? Is it that hard? But it might not be the case for me. Have you forgotten about Frederick? No matter what, I am his fiancée now. If he steps in, securing the collaboration is just a matter of his word. Do we need you to donate a kidney?”

Claire laughed, her words filled with sarcasm.

But Antony knew Claire was just worried about him and didn’t want him to donate his kidney, which was why she said that.

“Claire, I…”

Antony also knew that if Claire said she was going to ask Frederick, she probably could, but he was still worried. He was about to continue persuading Claire when Claire’s phone rang. Seeing it was the same unfamiliar number again, Claire answered the call.

“Claire, I’ve suddenly lost my patience. I’ll give you two more hours. If you don’t come, you’ll never get this recording for the rest of your life.”
