Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister

Chapter 155 The Person Behind It All

Two years ago, Clara still loved Darren so much.

But they were not meant to be together.

He didn't believe her because of several photos taken secretly. This killed all the love she had for him.

And now he even asked her if she was in love with someone else.

Clara thought it was funny.

She answered him, "I love Horace very, very much. Darren, since Ashlee has your child, you should

stop messing around and take the responsibility."

Darren was very unhappy about her words. He was very jealous of Horace as Clara actually admitted

that she fell in love with him. She advised him to live a good life with other women! Is this really the

same woman he knew?

Darren admired Horace's high-profile disclosure of Clara's identity. It was really a move of enthusiasm

that no woman could resist.

Horace did it. He conquered Clara's heart.

Clara said, "Darren, the only thing we have is friendship. You asked me a lot of questions today that

have gone too far. Don't forget, you are going to marry Ashlee next month."

"Clara, I had to. She has my child! I have no other choice." Darren hurried to explain to Clara.

Darren did not love Ashlee? Clara was surprised. She felt sorry for Ashlee and Darren. How many

years could a marriage last if there was no love?

Darren put his hands on her shoulder and said, "Clara, I only have you in my heart. I did not spend one

day without missing you. I hate it every time I think about you lying next to another man! Clara, will you

come back to me? Let's run away and live somewhere else together! We will be happy!"

Clara thought that she should keep a distance from Darren from now on. She stepped back and

Darren's hands dropped.

She said, "Darren, I'm sorry. I really don't love you anymore. Ashlee has your child, and you must take

this responsibility. Forget me, please. The past has passed. It's pointless to linger on!"

Clara's words provoked Darren. He forced Clara into his arms.

"Clara, baby, don't do this to me! You can't do this to me!"

Darren's excessive behavior made Clara remember that time when he kissed her forcefully. She got out

of his arms and slapped him in the face.

Clara fled from his office.

Darren was left in the room alone. Suddenly, he felt his limbs were so cold, and so was his heart. Are

her resistance and refusal all for Horace?

Darren thought to himself, when she meets Logan, he will tell her something new about Horace. Then

she would be able to see how cruel and selfish that man really was.

Let's wait and see. He thought.

Suddenly, Darren's office phone rang.

Darren picked up the phone and heard the news about Horace.

The person on the phone told Darren that Horace was indeed investigating the drugs used and photos

taken two years ago.

Darren knew that Horace would never give up tracking down the truth about Clara being framed two

years ago. If Horace kept on, he would eventually get to Ashlee.

Moreover, if Horace knew that it was Ashlee who was behind it all, he would get his revenge for sure!

"He did not find anything yet, right?" Darren said, "That's good, very good. Then you should deal with it

quickly and clean that all up. Don't let him find anything."

"OK, Mr. Kirkland. I'll try my best," said the person on the other end of the phone.

Darren was angry that Ashlee broke him up with Clara for no reason, but now, after all, Ashlee was

pregnant with his child. He had to help them. What other choice did he have?

If Horace knew that Ashlee was the one that got Clara drugged, he would use any strength and means

to make the Middleton family pay. Ashlee would certainly end up in hell.

Darren wanted to keep his child away from those troubles. He needed this family to be intact.

Therefore, before Horace's investigations, Darren had someone erase almost all clues and evidence,

hoping to stop Horace from finding the truth.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Stratmont, Horace was in his office and asked Isaac about the

progress of his investigation.

He asked, "Do we have a clue of who framed Clara two years ago?"

Isaac was embarrassed to say anything because he hadn't made any progress yet.

Horace frowned, "Why? Is there something you can't find out?"

In fact, Isaac also had many questions in his heart. He said to Horace, "Mr. Kirkland, we had found

some, but suddenly the clues were wiped out. It seemed that someone was cleaning up. Many

evidence clues were not to be found as if they were deliberately erased by someone."

Horace's eyebrows frowned and he couldn't figure out who was so concerned about Clara's affair two

years ago and deliberately hid the truth.

Horace asked, "What did you find?"

"We found that on the campus, in addition to Clara and Darren, a third person often appeared."

"Who?"

"Ashlee."

"Ashlee?" Horace thought it was not very unusual. Although they were not getting along with each

other, they were still sisters. They must have been hanging out more or less.

Horace asked, "And then?"

Isaac said, "Um… that's all we've got so far. It seemed that some myterious force has been obstructing

us."

Why? How did the mastermind behind this know that he was investigating the incident two years ago?

Was it someone he knows?

He and Clara did not even know each other two years ago. Whoever was behind it could not have

come for him. Then why did he obstruct his investigation of his? Unless this person knew the

relationship between Horace and Clara, and they were afraid Horace would find out the truth.

He asked Isaac, "Do you know who the other party is?"

Isaac replied, "I can't find out for the time being. The other side's influence is not small. It's not an

ordinary person."

Horace felt that this had been more and stranger.

Two years ago, Clara was just a college student. How could she get into trouble with people with such

power? Even Darren, with the influence of his family, would not mess up with people like them.

Horace instructed Isaac to eliminate any difficulties and continued the investigation until the truth was

revealed.

No matter who the other party was, he would never give up, because he wanted justice for his girl.
