Become the Wife of A CEO

Hearing that there was a clue about Horace’s kidnapping case, Clara was very anxious. “Okay, grandpa, I’ll be there soon.”

After hanging up the phone, Clara forced herself to get up, quickly tidied up, and went to the Kirkland’s old house.

In the study.

“Sit down. Look at this first.” Russell handed Clara a file bag.

She hurriedly took out the file inside and began to read it carefully. After she finished reading it, shock and disbelief had already written all over her face.

It turned out that in the fire scene that year, in addition to the traces of Horace’s departure, there was also evidence of another person’s departure.

However, there were only Horace and Laura at the fire scene at that time. Laura was dead and Horace escaped. Who was the other person?

“Grandpa, what’s going on?” She looked at Russell in confusion. “How could there be another person leaving?”

Glancing at Clara, Russell replied, “In fact, there was an explosion in the fire at that time. Laura’s body had long been destroyed and could not be identified. It was difficult to do a DNA comparison identification. In the end, according to the remaining hair found at the scene, it was confirmed that the body at that time was Laura.

“So, it’s very likely that Laura wasn’t the one who died at that time.”

Russell’s eyes became sharp. If that was the case, then what happened ten years ago was definitely not a simple abduction. There must be other secrets.

He snorted. When he found out who dared to frame his grandson like this, he would make them suffer.

Hearing Russell’s words, Clara was shocked. She wanted to say something, but she really didn’t know what to say. For a moment, she couldn’t digest what her grandfather said.

Could it be that… Laura wasn’t dead?

It was impossible. If she hadn’t died, why hadn’t she appeared for such a long time? Why did everyone think that she had died in the fire?

However, what if she really didn’t die? Clara immediately thought of this.

If she was really still alive, would she come back to look for Horace?

At that time, what would Horace do and what would she do?

“This matter is not clear yet, and everything now is just speculation.” Looking at the somewhat absent-minded Clara, Russell could probably guess what she was thinking. “Don’t think too much. I will get someone to continue the investigation…”

Clara, who was lost in her thoughts, did not hear what Russell said next, nor did she know how she left the Kirkland house.

On the way, the more she thought about it, the more confused she felt. She wanted to call Horace to talk about it.

She took out her mobile phone and found Horace’s number, but she didn’t call him for a long time. Thinking that she had just quarreled with Horace yesterday, Clara hesitated a few times and finally turned off the phone.

After a while, Clara took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. Apart from him, Clara couldn’t think of anyone else who could discuss this matter.

“Clara? What’s the matter?” Logan was a little surprised when he received Clara’s call.

“Where are you now? I have something to tell you.”

“I’m in the company now. What’s the matter? Is it very important?” Hearing the seriousness in Clara’s tone, Logan became serious.

“Let’s talk about it when we meet. I’ll find you now.”

“Do you know where my company is? Do you want me to pick you up?”

“No, I know the place. You can wait for me at the cafe downstairs the company. See you later.”

After hanging up the phone, Clara immediately rushed to Logan’s company. When she arrived, Logan was already waiting for her in the cafe.

After Clara sat down, Logan smiled and said, “I don’t know your taste, so I ordered Blue Mountain for you. Do you like it?”

“Sure, thank you.” Clara also smiled at Logan.

She picked up the coffee in front of her and took a sip. The slightly bitter taste made her uneasy heart calm down a little, and her thoughts gradually calmed down.

“Why do you want to see me?” Logan knew that there had to be something important. Otherwise, Clara wouldn’t be looking for him.

After a brief moment of silence, Clara told Logan about the information she had obtained from Russell.

Hearing Clara’s words, Logan couldn’t believe it and didn’t speak for a long time.

“Tell me, could it be that your sister didn’t die and escaped?” After thinking for a moment, Clara finally looked at Logan and asked.

“But, if Laura is still alive, why hasn’t she come to me for so many years? After all, I am her only relative in the world.” Logan couldn’t understand. Was Laura really alive? Then why didn’t she come to find him?

Clara didn’t understand either. Then, the two of them didn’t say anything else and sank into their own thoughts.

After a long silence, Clara heard Logan’s somewhat absent-minded murmur. “Laura’s death anniversary is coming soon…”

Clara raised her head and looked at Logan. The person on the other side was full of undisguised sadness, which made people want to go forward and give him a comforting hug.

After sitting in silence for a while, Clara said goodbye to Logan and returned home.

When she went back to look at the empty villa, she felt very upset.

After sitting on the sofa for a while, Clara went upstairs and found a small suitcase. After simply packing up a few pieces of her clothes, she took the suitcase and left the villa.

When she arrived at the small apartment where her mother lived, Clara stood in front of the door and rang the doorbell. The one who opened the door was the nanny who helped to take care of her mother.

“Clara? What a surprise.” The nanny felt a little strange when she saw that Clara was carrying a suitcase. “This is…”

“I’m here to see mom.” While speaking, Clara pulled her suitcase into the door.

“Give it to me.” The nanny quickly took the suitcase in her hand, and Clara smiled at her gratefully.

After turning around, Clara did not see her mother in the living room. The nanny pointed in the direction of the bedroom.

Clara nodded knowingly and looked at the door of the bedroom. Helena was resting.

“How’s my mom doing recently?” Clara asked the nanny in a low voice, afraid that she would wake Helena up.

Hearing Clara’s question, the nanny shook her head and sighed.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Seeing this, Clara immediately became a little anxious. “Is there anything wrong with my mother’s health?”

“Your mother has been absent-minded from time to time these days, and she doesn’t sleep well. She sat on the sofa in the middle of the night yesterday. I asked her what happened, but she didn’t say anything.

“Moreover, she hasn’t been eating much in the past two days. When she got up this morning, she had a small bowl of porridge. No matter how hard I tried to persuade her, she didn’t listen. She only said that she didn’t have the appetite. Well, she just lay down and rested for a while.”

Hearing the nanny’s words, Clara looked at the door of the bedroom with worry.
