Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 144

At this moment, Glenn and Valerie were still talking about the cruel reality in front of Clara.

At this time, the so-called kindness they had given her before became a bargaining chip to persuade Horace to let go of them.

Valerie said, "When you were a child, I gave you a fancy skirt which had Ashlee had just bought for a month, and we gave you when it was almost brand-new. Also, once we were given some delicious crabs, and I gave you two to eat. Don't you remember? We've been kind to you! But you're so vicious!"

Skirt? Clara remembered that Ashlee gave it to her because she thought it looked ugly. As for the crabs, they allowed her to eat that right before the crabs went bad because they couldn't finish them all. She had diarrhea for several days after eating the bad meat.

This was their kindness. Now, she was asked to repay them.

Clara said, "I regret wearing that dress, eating your crabs, and being a member of your family. Don't say any more. What's the point of saying this? As long as I pay off your kindness, will you be able to let my mother and me go, let us live happily?"

Valerie thought to herself. "Humph, that would be so easy for you!"

Clara felt very sad when she thought of her childhood.

When she was a child, she and her mother depended on each other. Helena often had to work several jobs. She was very tired and busy, always sleeping very late at night.

At that time, Helena went out early and came back late. She didn't have time to take care of the little Clara, so she had to entrust Clara to Glenn and his family to look after her for the time being.

Helena told Clara to be obedient and not to cause trouble when she lived with them.

During ordinary times, Helena loved her daughter and tried not to let Clara do too much housework.

However, in the Middleton family, Valerie asked the nanny to do other things, forcing Clara to do much housework to torture her, such as washing dishes, sweeping the floor, cleaning the room, and weeding the garden. Clara, who was young and sensible, could only bear it silently.

At night, she secretly cried in the quilt and dared not tell Helena that she did not want her mother to be distracted by her.

Clara still remembered that Glenn was busy at work, but Valerie often took young Ashlee to travel, and Clara would follow them.

Helena thought that was good for Clara to see more and broaden her horizon, which was better than working and bearing hardships with her. She agreed to let Clara travel with them.

Helena said, "I can't give you so much, so I can only rely on the Middleton family. I'm not a person without dignity. I don't want you to become an ignorant child with me. I hope you will be promising and self-reliant in the future."

So Clara was very strong when she was young. Although she looked soft and weak she was very stubborn, and she didn't want to rely on anyone.

However, Helena did not expect Valerie, who pretended to take her, didn't allow her to play, to go so far when they traveled.

Valerie bought ice cream for Ashlee, but said to Clara, "Go and take out the umbrella in your bag and hold it for Ashlee. Look my baby daughter is basking in the sun."

Clara didn't want to go.

Valerie said, "Your younger sister is sweating. You little bitch is unwilling to take an umbrella! Do you know how to be an elder sister?"

Clara was severely scolded. Every time, she could only follow them like a valet, sitting there alone, watching Ashlee play and laugh happily.

Valerie was still there talking to her.

"Hear what you said. Clara, we have been good to you. Is that how you repay us? Has your heart been eaten by the dog! In addition, we also paid for your college expenses! Otherwise, will you be like this today? You can't be ingratitude, can you..."

Glenn said, "Clara, you can't be so ignorant. If the Middleton family collapse, I am going to jump off the building!"

Clara regretted that she had received support from the Middleton family for so many years. If she didn't help them solve the problem, it seemed that she had become a big ungrateful villain.

Clara was suffering. All of a sudden, Valerie and others became quiet, standing behind her.

Looking back, Clara saw that Horace came in, sitting in a wheelchair.

Although Horace was in a wheelchair, compared with his charisma and charm, the wheelchair was not a big deal anymore and even had become his signature.

Horace's aura was powerful on any occasion.

Horace looked around all the people present, including Clara with red eyes.

Valerie and Glenn looked at each other a few times and tried to open their mouth, but they were scared by Horace's momentum and became hesitant.

Glenn said, "Master, Master Horace? Come in, come in, please sit down..."

Valerie, who was also well versed in public relations, said with a smile, "Oh, it's Master Horace. Don't regard us as outsiders. Just now we were talking with Clara. And you came in. Haha."

Horace came to the Middleton's place in person!

Glenn couldn't figure out what his purpose was. Did he want to acquire the Middleton family company as part of Solace, or do he want to negotiate a deal with him?

Valerie quickly elbowed Glenn when she saw that he was just looking at Horace without talking.

Glenn then reacted and said, "Oh, yeah, we were just talking to Clara about her childhood. This little girl has worried us a lot. Alas, but she is also my own -"

Before Glenn finished, Horace interrupted him coldly.

"I heard what you just said."

Horace's words made Valerie and Glenn stunned at that time. His tone was cold and unfriendly.

What did he hear?

Therefore, Horace came to the Middleton family today to be her guard, instead of talking about business. He was protecting Clara!

Glenn said awkwardly, "Now that you have come, I have something to say. We beg Master Horace for mercy to let us go. I heard that you and Clara are married. So you are also my son-in-law. If you are available, you can come home for dinner."

Valerie pretended to be relaxed and laughed, "Yes, my dear, you are right! The family doesn't talk strange words. Wow, Clara, you've married a good man!"

Just now, Horace had heard how they scolded Clara outside the door. Now they were flattering. Horace hated it.

He just saw that Clara had suffered great injustice here, so he came in to stop them, instead of coming in to visit relatives.

People, except Horace himself, were not qualified to scold Horace's woman!

When Clara saw Horace was about to get angry, she grabbed his arm in time and whispered, "Horace, No."
