Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister

Chapter 185 The Hutchinson's Hit a Bad Patch

Standing beside his Land Rover, Logan looked up and said to Clara, "Get in the car, I'll take you back."

She shouldn't have gotten too close to Horace's enemy, but for some reason, Clara didn't hate Logan.

She even had a feeling of indescribable closeness for him, so she agreed.

She also had a lot of questions about Logan, she would like to know something, and perhaps Logan

can answer that.

Thinking of this, she nodded, Logan quickly opened the door like a gentleman, and let Clara sit in.

After sitting down, Logan quickly started the car.

On the way, Logan said, "Clara, I didn't expect that you are Aunt Helena's daughter."

Clara nodded and said, "Yeah, I didn't think my mom would know you either."

"I guess we have something in common."

Logan gave Clara a meaningful look. He found that Clara's profile was more beautiful than her front.

Logan turned to look at the road ahead, the red light, and the car stopped.

Logan suddenly said, "When I was young, Aunt Helena treated me very well and loved me very much.

Unfortunately... It was cut short. I didn't expect to see her again today."

"I heard from my mom, and she told me a lot of things that happened when you were young."

"That I was naughty?"

Clara replied, "No, my mother said you were very well-behaved, and smart, she liked you a lot and

Laura too."

Clara thought Logan would talk about Laura's past, but he didn't.

Logan seemed to be more interested in Clara and asked, "Where were you when Aunt Helens was

working as a nanny at our house? Why didn't I see you once?"

"At the Middleton's," Clara explained. "My mother said you didn't like outsiders, so she sent me to the

Middleton's."

"Sorry."

"Why?"

"If it weren't for us, you probably wouldn't be living at the Middleton's House," Logan told her earnestly.

"I know a lot about the Middleton, and I don't think they would be very nice to you."

"You were just a kid, anyway, it's all over now." Clara was starting to get over it, "After all, Horace gave

them hell for what my stepmother did, so I don't hate them anymore."

The conversation was fine without mentioning Horace, but once she did, Logan turned into an alerted

panther immediately.

Logan said stiffly, "Who can tell if Horace is doing it for you or for something else? Don't be so naive.

Think of him so perfect. He's a hypocrite!"

Clara didn't like anyone badmouthing Horace in front of her, not one word.

Clara frowned. "Logan, don't get so excited when you mention Horace, okay? Do you really know the

whole incident back then? Maybe it's not what you think."

"You are always so protective of Horace every time. Stupid girl!" Logan said mercilessly. "I've never

seen such a stubborn woman like you. Stupid! You're so stupid!"

Clara thought it would be pointless to talk about it any longer.

She could only calm her tone, "Logan, let me off the car. I can walk back home."

Logan sensed the tension in the car. Clara must have misunderstood him. But in fact, he was not

against her.

Logan said, "Please don't take me wrong. I do not hate you. I only dislike Horace."

Clara was embarrassed and said, "You may have misunderstood Horace. Didn't the Hutchinson family

look into it?"

Logan was silent for a moment, and Clara didn't ask any more questions.

Suddenly, Logan said, "At that time, the Hutchinson family was also in a difficult time and didn't have

much energy to investigate the matter."

Clara was surprised that the Hutchinson family of the big three would have a hard time?

Logan didn't elaborate on the difficult times of the Hutchinson family, which he probably found difficult

to talk about.

Clara returned to the magazine publishing company.

She didn't know why she cared about Logan's words so much, she wanted to get to the bottom of this.

Clara remembered that Stephanie had been at the magazine publishing company for the longest, and

perhaps she can shed some light on the Hutchinson family's past.

Stephanie recalled, and then looked through her old notebooks to answer Clara's questions.

Stephanie said, "Ten years ago, the Hutchinson family was facing an unprecedented business crisis.

Several large foreign conglomerates had suppressed the Hutchinson family group and were about to

be swallowed up by other city conglomerates. The Hutchinson family group was almost at the end of its

tether and was at stake."

Stephanie added, "As I recall, it was quite a big deal because the three Stratmont families were all

connected. The crisis had also alarmed people from the Jakovich and Kirkland families, but they have NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

not stepped in to save them. They have been waiting and watching."

Clara interjected, "Why aren't they helping the Hutchinson family? I thought they were friends."

"That's right. They would have come to the rescue. However, that year, the world economy was in

crisis, and the two families were having a hard time as well. Therefore, they could only wait and see.

They didn't want the Hutchinson's business to be acquired."

Clara listened carefully to the story.

Stephanie added, "It's not over yet."

"Anything else?" Clara asked.

"It's not directly related to the company being crushed," Stephanie said. "But Laura was kidnapped and

disappeared at that very moment. What do you think the Hutchinson family was doing?"

So behind the original kidnapping case, there were so many other factors. Clara thought.

Stephanie said, "Because Laura and Horace..."

She hesitated, not knowing whether to tell Clara about the kidnapping.

Clara said, "Stephanie, it's okay. I heard about the kidnapping from Horace."

Stephanie was relieved, she continued, "Luckily Kirkland was there to help. Although Laura died in the

fire, the Hutchinson family was unexpectedly helped by the Kirkland in the kidnapping case and was

able to pull through. Otherwise, the Hutchinson family would be lost now."

Yeah. The Hutchinson family had been dismissed as a thing of the past.

But Clara has a hunch that the Hutchinson family's comeback was just around the corner, as long as

Logan did it well.

Clara said, "It must be because of Russell."

She thought Grandpa Russell must have been a legend in business.

But Stephanie shook her head and dismissed Clara's idea.

"You're wrong, Clara," Stephanie said. "It wasn't Russell. He was too sick to save the Hutchinson family

back then, when Horace had been kidnapped."

"So..."

Stephanie continued, "It's Sean Kirkland, Horace's older brother."
