Become the Wife of A CEO

Chapter 212 The Close Call



Darren didn’t speak.

Ashlee’s heart was full of despair.

“What’s so good about her? You all love her so much and you all want to help her. Are you all blind? Well, if so, let me bring her to hell with me today. I want you all to live in regrets and pain for the rest of your lives.” As she was speaking, she was about to jump down with Clara together.

“Stop!” Horace panicked and shouted when he saw that Clara had only two fingers pulling the iron ring. He secretly resented that Darren was such a bad actor.

He turned to Ashlee and said, “Ashlee, I will replace Clara.”

When everyone heard the words, they looked at Horace in shock, unable to believe what they had just heard.

“Young Master!” When Isaac heard Horace’s words, he hurriedly wanted to stop him.

Although he was also very worried about the safety of the young lady, it was not feasible for Horace to exchange with Clara. What if Horace was in danger? He could not allow Horace to risk his life.

Horace glanced at Isaac and told him to stop saying anything.

“What did you say?” Ashlee couldn’t believe what she heard and stopped her actions.

“Yes, I’m here in exchange for Clara. Think about it, I’m the president of Solrace and a Kirkland. I’m much useful than Clara. If you hold me, hostage, you can ask the Kirkland family and Solrace anything you want. Trust me, they won’t refuse you for anything.”

“Besides, as you said just now, you hate me, and I took everything from you. I sent your mother away. All of that has nothing to do with Clara.”

While talking, Horace slowly approached Ashlee, pushing his wheelchair.

Seeing that Ashlee’s emotions were no longer so excited, Horace then said to Ashlee softly, “I’ll replace Clara, and then you can retaliate against me any way you want, and even throw me downstairs. Can’t you see that I’m a disabled man and I have no ability to resist you?”

Hearing Horace’s words, Ashlee, who was in a state of shock, didn’t even notice that Horace was slowly approaching him, and now he was less than two steps away from her.

Horace’s words shocked not only Ashlee but also Clara.

She never thought that she was so important in Horace’s heart. At this moment, she felt more than ever that Horace loved her so much more than his life.

To be able to meet such a man was the best luck she had in her life.

“You love her so much that you even want to trade your own life for her?” Ashlee whispered when she heard Horace’s words.

“Haha…” Ashlee laughed frantically again, “But why? You all love her so much, but she is a bastard! She does not even have my family name!”

Ashlee suddenly stretched out her hands and grabbed Clara by the neck, and shouted, “Do you want to save her? You wanna die for her? She must die today! If you never have a chance to see him, I want you to live in pain for the rest of your life.”

After Ashlee finished shouting, she turned to look at Darren with frantic eyes, but they were no longer with love, but with a strong hatred, “Everything I do is for you, but what about you? All you have in your heart is this bitch. Darren, if you love her, then I have to kill her, and I want you to live the rest of your life in remorse.”

After saying this, Ashlee took Clara’s arm and was about to jump down with her.

“No!” Darren shouted anxiously when he saw Ashlee’s movements.

The surrounding police also swarmed up, trying to catch the two who were about to fall.

At this moment, as she was not paying attention, Horace had been very close to them already. He stood up and ran towards Clara. He grasped her arm and pulled her back into his arms.

By the time they fell back on the floor of the roof, Ashlee had already fallen down.

She had been dragged around by Ashlee and strangled by her neck. After regaining her freedom, she could not help coughing violently.

“Are you alright? Is there any injury?” Horace quickly untied the rope for Clara, held her in his arms, and checked for bruises. He was afraid that she got hurt and the injuries could not be seen.

“… I’m fine.” Clara looked at Horace and replied.

While they were talking, the people around him were in great astonishment. They couldn’t believe what they had just seen.

Who was the man that pulled Clara over just now? Horace? Wasn’t he disabled in both legs? But obviously, he was running!

Everyone has the same question in their hearts, but for a moment they don’t know how to react to this, and there was a strange silence.

Clara and Horace also noticed the abnormality around them. Seeing that everyone was looking at Horace’s legs, Clara got worried, “Horace, your legs…”

After looking around, Horace lowered his head and comforted her by saying, “Don’t think about it, as long as you’re fine, nothing else matters.”

Hearing Horace’s gentle words at this moment, Clara, who had survived this madness, felt that her heart was full of joy, but…

Clara looked at the edge of the rooftop. Ashlee was her sister. Although she almost killed Clara, Clara still felt the pain to watch her die.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

She remembered the first time she saw Ashlee. Ashlee was in a pretty dress and her eyes were full of disgust and disdain, and she looked like a princess in front of her maid.

Ashlee framed her again and again, and almost killed her in the end, but still, they had the same father. Her remorse upon her death.

It was horrible to see her own blood die such a horrible death in front of her. She could not hold this anymore and she fainted.

“Clara, wake up!” Seeing that she had passed out, Horace anxiously called her name. But Clara’s eyes were still tightly closed, and there was no sign of waking up.

At this time, Horace couldn’t pay attention to anything else now. He picked up Clara and walked downstairs, “Isaac, get the car and we are going to the hospital.”

“Yes,” Isaac replied. Horace no longer tried to hide his good legs. He was such a thoughtful man. He must have his own plans.

When Horace and Clara completely disappeared from people’s sight, the crowd around them finally started talking.

“Horace is not disabled at all! When did his legs heal?”

“It’s incredible! But why was he still in a wheelchair just now? Apparently, he could run like a normal human being.”

“Was he in the wheelchair for some kind of a weird fetish? OMG, I really don’t understand the world of the rich!”
