Chapter 215 Who Was the One Behind?
Chapter 215 Who Was the One Behind?
Horace said coldly, "There were in that case that I never understood. After the kidnappers got the
money, they could have escaped quietly, but why did they set a fire to burn me to death in the end?
What good would it bring for them to make a scene?
I have been secretly investigating. After years of research, I am basically certain that Sean was the
mastermind behind it. The people who kidnapped me didn't want money at all, they wanted my life.
Ransom was just a cover-up. But he didn't expect that the fire didn't kill me, and I escaped. "
Horace couldn't help clenching his fists. The scene of his escape from the fire ten years ago was still
vivid in his mind, and he swore that he would make them pay the price.
Clara saw Horace who was full of a vicious aura and didn't know what to say to comfort him.
It's been so long. But when it came to the fire, Horace still could not calm down. It was conceivable how
much pain it had brought to him. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Clara gently opened Horace's tightly clenched fist and held his hand with her own, hoping to give him
some comfort.
Having felt her worries for him, Horace took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and said softly, "It's all
right. They can't hurt me now."
Seeing Horace in such pain, Clara felt an indescribable sadness in her heart, followed by anger.
She could never think that it would be Sean who manufactured the kidnapping. She knew that Sean
and Horace had always been at loggerheads with each other, but she did not expect Sean to be such a
monster.
"Why did him..." Before she could finish her sentence, she realized that it must be for the family
property.
Grandpa never hid his love and preference for Horace. It was estimated that Horace was also the most
suitable heir in Grandpa's heart. If Sean wanted to become the head of the Group, the most
straightforward way was to make Horace disappear.
"Was it because of him that you used a wheelchair the whole time?" Clara asked.
"Well, although I felt something was wrong at the time, I was too young to protect myself. I could only
pretend that my legs were disabled so that Sean could postpone his plans against me. The reason I
went to the United States was to grow my own power without causing his suspicion. Only when I have
enough strength to compete with him can I find out the truth and let them pay.
Now that Solrace was on the right track, I'm no longer who I used to be. It's time to make this public.
Even if Sean still wants to play the game, I could compete with him now. "
Clara silently listened to Horace's story, and his endurance and perseverance of the past ten years.
Horace had never told her about this before, and when she sometimes asked him out of curiosity, he
always changed the subject and was reluctant to talk about it.
Now that he was willing to share his past with her… does it mean that he had finally opened his heart
to her and was willing to let her into his heart?
Hugging on this small bed, slowly they both fell asleep...
That night, in the narrow bed in the hospital, the two of them slept like babies.
The next morning, he went to work very early because the company still had some things to deal with.
Clara called Helena, her mother. Since she was hospitalized, she had not called Helena yet. She must
be worried sick about this craziness.
"Clara, are you alright? Are you injured?" As soon as Helena answered the phone, she asked Clara
anxiously, "What's the matter with you, my child? How could you not call me after what you had been
through? "
As she spoke, Helena started crying.
Hearing Helena's cry, Clara panicked, "Mom, don't cry, I'm fine, I'm not hurt at all, don't worry!"
"Really? But you were taken so high up there and dragged around. I saw the news!" Helena didn't
believe her words.
"I'm really fine..."
Clara comforted Helena, who had been crying too hard for her on the phone. After reassuring her that
she was okay, Helena's mood stabilized.
As soon as she hung up the phone, Clara heard a knock on the door.
Putting down her phone, she walked over and opened the door of the ward. When she saw the face at
the door, Clara was stunned for a moment. Why was she here?
"Clara, are you okay?" Elaine asked with concern as soon as she saw Clara.
"I'm alright. But I never expected you to come, to be honest…" Clara quickly let Elaine in with a smile.
She and Elaine had only met once. She really didn't expect Elaine to visit her.
"I'm worried about you. I was terrified when I saw the news on the Internet, lest something happen to
you…. Now that I see you're fine, I'm relieved. This is a gift for you. "As she spoke, Elaine handed
Clara the flower she had been holding in her hand.
"Thank you, it's very beautiful." Clara took the flowers, but she also found it a bit strange, because
Elaine gave her a bunch of blue roses.
Lilies and narcissus were commonly seen in a ward, but blue siren? Not so much. Clara thought to
herself, maybe it was Elaine's taste, as unique as she was.
"Where is your husband? Why are you alone here?" Elaine looked around and asked.
"He had something to do in the company this morning," Clara replied with a smile.
"You are so lucky, dear. Horace is good-looking and successful, and he treats you well. You should
chain him up by your side, or I am afraid someone would steal him from you."
"..." Hearing Elaine's words, Clara didn't know how to react for a while. Then she answered, "I trust
him."
"Really?" she said with a smile. For some reason, Clara always felt that Elaine's tone was indicative of
something.
