Chapter 324 No Right to Chastise

• Her mother was right. The moment Claudia said her piece, Alaric let his guard down. Since she did save his life, he would always keep her around. Not to mention Victoria was already gone, so Claudia had five years to spend. She thought she could become Alaric's lover one day if she grabbed her chance and made her moves well.
• However, she didn't expect him to stand firm with his decision for five years. Even after five years, they were still friends. Nothing more. Whenever she tried to cross that line, he would stop her. Every time that happened, she would have to take a step back and find another way to advance.
• "Claudia?" West called out to her again, snapping her out of her stupor.
