Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister

Chapter 171 The Secret about Her Belly

Ashlee said, "Mom, don't worry, I will take revenge for you! Clara and Helena, just wait for it! You will

pay for this! I swear that you will not have a good end! Mom, take care over there!"

"Okay, don't worry," Valerie replied.

Ashlee has always been protected by her mother, but now suddenly they were far apart, without her

support, Ashlee suddenly felt very isolated and helpless, with no one standing behind her.

They were all in favor of Clara and no one was willing to stand up to her.

Suddenly, Valerie remembered something and asked Ashlee in a low voice, "In your belly..."

She knew that time was running out and at this time, someone was coming.

So, Valerie hinted at her, "You have to watch out ... Your baby is the bargaining chip!"

Before she could comfort Valerie more, the video was shut down.

She didn't have enough time to look at her mother's face. The video chat ended in a hurry and she

didn't know when the next meeting would be...

Ashlee wiped away the tears on her face and sat quietly, making a decision in her heart.

After a while, Horace was here. He happened to be on the way so he came over to have a look.

Isaac said that Ashlee had just finished the video chat with Valerie in the room and was waiting for him.

Horace found that it was necessary to have a talk with her, to ask her what she wanted, thus to return

the favor once and for all. After this, he no longer owed anything to her any more.

In the room, Ashlee sat upright on a chair, staring out the window in a daze.

Horace remembered that ten years ago, she was a pure and kind girl, how could she become such a

vicious woman now?

Was jealousy so powerful that it would change a person's character completely?

Ashlee saw he came in in a wheelchair. There were still tears on her face but she had returned to her

former calm

Horace asked her, "I assume you have talked with Valerie."

"Yes, sir." Ashlee said, "I really don't know whether I should thank you or hate you. I don't think my

mother can bear that kind of suffering. She has never lived that kind of life. It won't be easy for her."

She was right, but he just didn't want her to live comfortably and Valerie wouldn't repent if she didn't

suffer.

Actually, he felt that he was easier on her.

Ashlee thought that since Horace sent her mother away, he must have made a decision. If she begged

him at this time, he would definitely not help her. She was not that stupid.

So, she said to him, "You said I did you a favor and you owe me one, so what's your plan?"

"Anything you want, as long as I can do it." Horace felt that she should ask for money or shares, so he

did not take it seriously.

Anything?

Ashlee thought, was he so sincere? No, he must have thought it was quite easy to get rid of her.

Unexpectedly, she sneered and said, "I want you to dump Clara! This is my term, how about it?"

Give up Clara?

Horace's face suddenly turned cold.

"Impossible." Horace said, his voice cold, "I will not agree to this and you should think of something

more practical."

"Why, you can't do it?"

Horace slowly shook his head, indicating that there was absolutely no way.

"I didn't expect you to love her so much." Ashlee joked.

"Ask for other things, Ashlee." His look became impatient.

Ashlee was not reconciled. This was the only chance for her to turn around, but she had to think

carefully about the terms and she would not agree to a check of tens of millions.

If it was before, she would choose money, but now it is different, she just wants something else.

Ashlee shrugged and said, "Forget it, it's hard for you to abandon her. Well, you need to promise me to

help me revive the Middleton family, marry Darren, and live a carefree life."

Horace could make it happen.

He nodded.

She slowly stood up, raised her head to look at him, and said, "Now, take me home. I want to go

home."

Horace nodded, turned around, and went out. He arranged for Isaac to drive and take her back to the

Middleton family villa together.

Clara was working in the magazine, but she was so upset that she couldn't concentrate. All she could

think was Horace...

When did he become the center of her life? Without him, it was like life had lost its direction, there was

a dense fog in front of her and she couldn't find anything to grasp.

Clara laughed at herself. She didn't want to take the initiative to call him, as if she was fussy. She hated

herself like this.

At this time, the office was buzzing again.

Clara heard Stephanie and Sarah were talking about something on the news, so she went to join them

in order to relieve her boredom.

She asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Investment," Sarah replied.

Clara frowned, "Investment on what?"

"Hahaha, it's the stock. We're talking about the stock of the Midland Inc."

It turned out that the stock price of the Middleton's company began to recover today, and whether they

should buy some, maybe the Middleton family would be a dark horse in the stock market. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Luis said, "What kind of evil moth is this Lin family? Yesterday the stock returned plunge while today it

channeled red! My buddy saw that the situation was not good yesterday and he sold them all. It was a

disaster."

Another colleague said, "Midland Inc's stocks suddenly rose, why? It's abnormal."

"This stock is not good. The stock of Solrace Corporation is stable. It can make a profit without losing

money. Besides, there is a Clara fund. I have bought a lot of shares."

Everyone was discussing. Stephanie pulled Clara aside and said, "Clara, you're here just in time, can

you tell us some inside story? I heard that Solrace Corporation has invested a lot of money to save

Midland Inc in the stock market. Is this true?"

Clara looked very embarrassed, but she couldn't show it.

She had to say, "I'm not very clear about Horace's business. I'm sorry, I can't help you.

Stephanie seemed to see the clue and said, "It's okay. I'm glad you're all right."

Stephanie's comfort made her even more uncomfortable.

She didn't understand what exactly did Horace want to do?

He stayed all night at the hospital to accompany Ashlee and helped the Middleton family save the

losses. Why did he help her so much? Could it be that she has something on him?

Forget it, just take the initiative to contact him. Clara felt that she couldn't bear it any longer, so she

called Horace.

But when she just picked up the phone, she received a call from Russell.
