Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 141

Clara was confused, "Princess dress? What princess dress?"

Ashlee smiled coldly, "Knock it off. You have such a poor memory."

Although Clara forgot, Ashlee remembered clearly.

Ashlee said angrily, "When we were young, I bought a very beautiful Disney limited edition princess dress. You were jealous of me. Once, when we all went out to travel, you deliberately ruin it! You forgot your dirty deeds, but I remember them very well!"

After thinking for a long time, Clara remembered. It seemed that there was a case.

When Clara was a little girl, once Helena was ill and couldn't take care of her, so she sent Clara to Glenn for taking care of her temporarily.

One day, Ashlee came home very happy, having a Disney limited edition princess dress in her hand, which was very, very beautiful. Clara had never seen such a beautiful dress before and she was envious.

Every girl loved a princess in her heart. Clara also had a princess dream when she was a child.

Clara told Ashlee that she wanted to wear the princess dress for once. But Ashlee didn't allow it. She also scolded Clara as a lowlife, who didn't deserve to wear a princess dress. She should wear a beggar's clothes to beg for food!

Clara was so sad that she went back to the room alone without having supper.

However, Clara still liked the dress very much. At that time, when Ashlee and her family went out, she was left at home alone. She wanted to wear the princess dress secretly.

Just once, she would return it soon after trying.

In this way, no one would know.

So that day, Clara ran to the street alone, wearing the dress secretly. There was no one on the street. She felt as if she had entered a fairy tale world. She was very excited. It was a happy day.

But... Something happened later. She ruined the dress. Ashlee got angry when she came back, and Glenn and Valerie punished her severely.

Clara frowned slightly.

It was a long time ago. She didn't want to remember it because it was unpleasant. so her memory was not clear about that. If Ashlee hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't remember at all. And now, she even couldn't remember many details.

For example, how was the dress ruined?

While Clara was still trying to remember, Ashlee suddenly spoke to interrupt her thoughts.

"Clara! You can't deny it by saying nothing! You've been a jealous bitch since childhood. Now you go even further. You want to get my man! You want to ruin my family! How can there be such a vicious woman like you in the world!"

Clara could bear it no more and retorted, "I said that I was not interested in your things. I'm sorry to ruin your princess dress, but it was an accident. Besides, you didn't let me go and let me wash the dishes in your house for many days. Ashlee, the misfortune of your family has nothing to do with me."

Although Clara didn't admit it, Ashlee still thought that the investigation on the Middleton family business must have something to do with her.

But she didn't want to talk to Ashlee, so she ignored Ashlee and left impatiently.

On the way, Clara suddenly remembered another thing.

Once, Horace showed Clara a picture. The little girl in the photo, who was his childhood benefactor, seemed to be wearing the same dress as Ashlee's Disney limited edition princess dress.

Clara thought it was a coincidence.

Ashlee's suspicion about the investigation was not impossible, because it happened too fast, just shortly after the charity auction.

Clara decided to go home to ask Horace about the matter so that Ashlee wouldn't tangle with her about it in the future.

In the Kirkland family.

Horace was waiting for Clara, sitting in a wheelchair at the door.

Clara was stunned and said, "Why are you sitting alone in the wind? Hurry back. I'll ask the nanny to make you a bowl of ginger soup."

Horace looked at Clara carefully and said, "Are you alright? Did the people in the Middleton family create difficulties for you?"

Clara shook her head, spinning around in front of Horace, "I'm fine. Look, I standing here, alive and kicking, right?"

Horace was relieved and returned to the living room with Clara.

After the nanny made a bowl of ginger soup, Clara urged Horace to drink it while it was hot.

Looking at Horace and Clara hesitated, "I went to the Middleton family's house today. It turned out that Valerie wanted to tell me that Ashlee and Darren were going to get married. Suddenly, my father received a call from the Middleton family company. A big business was under investigation, its capital was frozen. They had a bank loan and were about to bankrupt."

Horace nodded. "I know."

Clara asked him, "You know this? So Ashlee has guessed it right? You're behind this?"

Horace didn't mean to deny it. "Yes, I want to teach them a lesson, especially Ashlee."

Clara knew that Horace was defending her and giving vent to her anger.

He was worried about her safety, so he just sat in the wind to wait.

For the first time, someone was willing to accompany her and protect her. Clara was very moved. How could she blame him?

However, if the Middleton family collapsed, their days were gonna be miserable. Clara had experienced the bitter days before, so she didn't really want to see them suffer that much.

Horace saw that Clara seemed unhappy, so he asked, "Can't you bear it? Don't be too kind to your enemy, or the enemy will think you are too weak and hurt you."

Now that things had happened, what else could Clara do? Did she want to let Horace down? If she became softhearted to them, she would be too ungrateful.

Horace looked frightening when he was angry. Clara had witnessed that before.

Clara sighed, "Forget it. I know you are thinking about me. Besides, I never want to care about the Middleton family which has nothing to do with me. You can do whatever you want. Just... Give them some lessons. I don't want you to pay too much for me."

Horace nodded.

Horace was not a man without discretion. He didn't pay attention to the Middleton family. If it weren't for Clara, he wouldn't even cast a glance at them.

He just needed to let them know that Horace Kirkland's woman was not to be messed with.
