The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 4040

The instant Gopher saw Stephanie, all of his hopes were crushed.

At that moment, he knew full well that his fantasies were shattered, and that he would surely die!

There was just one thing that he didn't understand. How did Charlie find out that he would target Stephanie?

Out of reflex, he asked Charlie, "So, you losing at the casino twice was just an act?!"

Charlie snickered. "Of course. How could I forget the bait when I'm trying to fish?"

Gopher was shocked. Then, he frowned and asked, "I don't understand... You... You weren't in Canada, so how did you know all this?! This is our organization's internal secret. Only a handful of people in the organization know about it! And none of them know you, so they couldn't possibly tell you!" Claudia scoffed. "Gopher, did you think I was oblivious to the things you were doing? You had someone mark Mrs.

Lewis's door. Of course I'd find out! I also knew what that mark meant. t was me who informed Mr. Wade, all for him to come to Canada and protect Stephanie!"

Gopher's eyes widened and he glared at Claudia. He barked through gritted teeth, "So it was you! You only learnt that I've killed your family today. When you returned from your disappearance with your face all burnt, I pitied you and thought of letting you off the hook. To think you've repaid my kindness by taking revenge on me! Had I known, I would've killed you with my own hands!"

Claudia reached the back of her right ear and exerted a bit of force at the area before tearing down the scar that began on the right side of her face down to her neck. As she did so, she revealed a beautiful face that combined the attractiveness of Eastern and Western blood.

Gopher shuddered in fright as he blurted out, "You... you've been pretending all along! What... what's going on...?"

Tears welled up in Claudia's eyes. She shouted angrily, "Whats going on? You probably assumed that I was just lucky to survive the fire and didn't know the truth, didn't you?"

Gopher kept quiet, but the shock in his eyes was evident.

Clearly, Claudia had voiced his thoughts.

Without missing a beat, Claudia continued darkly, 'When the house was on fire, I didn't try to escape. Instead, I went to wake up my parents and brothers. But they were already dead. At that moment, I knew that you had killed them!" Gopher's eyes widened. "Since you already knew, why did you have the audacity to return to Vancouver? Were you trying to take revenge on me?"

Tears streamed down Claudia's face

as she gritted her teeth, furious. "Of

course! I only returned to find a chance to kill you! At one point, I strapped foil bags filled with gasoline around my body everyday and carried a knife and lighter in my pocket. I wanted to break the foil bags at the right time to cover myself in gasoline and light myself up to take you down with me!"

Then, Claudia glanced at Stephanie before turning back to Gopher. "But you were lucky! Whenever you

always net

appeared before me during that period of time, you were always there to see Stephanie. Stephanie and Mrs. Lewis have always been so kind to me.

They were worried that I might do something rash or be bullied, so they wouldn't let me meet you alone. Otherwise, I would've burned you a long time ago!"
