Lost in Mr. Preston's Temptation

Chapter 34 Madam, Your Crying Act Was Amazing!

“Mr. Lane, if you have the spare money, go to the hospital and get your eyes checked. Try to pick a

good secretary this time, and don’t waste your efforts on trying to suppress the news.”

Listening to her, Steve knew that this news wouldn’t be able to be suppressed, even more so since

recent events had all been orchestrated by her.

Because she had been so close, he had smelled a light tobacco smell on her body.

This kind of smoke wouldn’t have come from a woman.

He remembered what he had seen that day at the city hall and also...

Steve spurned Clara’s willing depravity, but at the same time, an inexplicable feeling of irritation gushed

out of his heart.

It was also this feeling of being unable to grasp something that made him raise his hand to slap Clara.

A man suddenly appeared, grabbed Steve by the wrist, and then pushed him away, “Do you want to try

to touch my boss’s wife?”

“Baxter, let’s go.” She had finished watching this play, and didn’t want to stay here any longer, so she

turned and left.

Baxter immediately followed.

Steve had quickly realized who Baxter Cohen was when he had pushed him away, and that had let him

realize that Clara and Ethan had no simple relationship.

That day when they had gone to the city hall, was it to get a marriage certificate?

Steve’s heart twisted, and he unconsciously stepped forward as if he wanted to catch up with them, but

he was unable to as the reporters swarm around him like bees around a hive.

“Mr. Lane, why did you frame Ms. Rowan?”

“I heard that Mr. Rowan’s car crash was not an accident, did you orchestrate it?”

“Mr. Lane, please answer our questions!”

The reporters questioned Steve but seeing that he kept his mouth shut and didn’t answer, they quickly

focused their camera on Ruby.

Ruby had long ago lost all her inhibitions, and she was willing to answer whatever they asked.

However, before she could say more than a few words, Steve grabbed her arm and pinched her

fiercely, his voice bone-chillingly cold, “If you don’t shut up, believe it or not, I’ll strangle you to death”

“Scram.” Steve pushed the reporters away and almost dragged Ruby out.

Just as Clara had left the hotel with Baxter, she received a message from Aaron saying that Steve had

left taking Ruby with him.

She wasn’t worried at all and cheerfully paid him the rest of the agreed amount.

After Baxter had hacked into Ruby’s phone, she had not only found out the relationship between Ruby

and Aaron, but she had also found out that Ruby had gone to a host club with her friends.

Ruby had even complained to her friends that Aaron was just an idiot, and also the true reason why

she had given birth.

Clara knew that Ruby and Aaron had grown up together, and that it would be impossible to simply pay

Aaron to betray Ruby. Even more so since Ruby had born his child.

However, if he found out everything Ruby had done, that would be different.

Sure enough, after she sent all the information to Aaron, he had seized the initiative to cooperate with

her.

“Madam, you cried so hard just now.” Baxter looked at Clara and couldn’t help but say, “You don’t still Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

have Steve in your heart, do you?”

“My heart died when I learned the truth. Now, I only have hatred for him. There is nothing else left.”

Clara said this without any fluctuation on her face, “I will make the headlines tomorrow. If I didn’t cry,

how would the netizens be able to feel sorry for me?”

Baxter reacted quickly, “Wow, madam, your crying act was amazing! Just by listening to it, I hate Steve

Lane so much that I want to punch him.”

Clara Rowan thanked him for his praise and curled her lips into a smile, “It seems like Steve will be

kept busy for a period.”

Clara suddenly felt as if she was the one who had gained by this transaction.

Because the two had only entered the hotel for a short amount of time, Baxter had parked the car on

the side of the road. She didn’t expect the car to suddenly explode as they were walking down the

stairs towards it.

Clara heard a loud bang and the car in front of her broke into pieces, lighting up in the sky.

Because of how sudden it was, her body did not have time to react, and she stood there in a daze.

As Baxter was about to throw himself towards Clara, a tall figure quickly pulled Clara towards himself,

and protected her in his arms. Draмanovels.cоm

The man was wearing a thin shirt, and the flying metal shrapnel from the car pierced his shirt and

plunged into his back. The pain made him grunt.

Clara quickly snapped out of her daze, and she realized that Ethan Preston was protecting him. “Ethan,

what are you doing here?”

“I had made an appointment to discuss business with a partner.” Ethan’s voice was steady, but his face

was pale.

He looked Clara up and down, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.” Clara shook her head. She seemed to be able to smell blood.

Soon Baxter also got up from the ground. He took a glance at Ethan’s back and sucked in the chilly air.

“Ethan, your back......”
