Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 149

Clara Fund…

Clara silently repeated the name of the fund.

Clara Fund! Clara!

She did a doubletake.

It was her name!

Horace named the fund after her! She was touched by his love. No wonder he gave her a necklace as the souvenir.

Why he never talked about it before? She was somehow restless. He was so good at keeping secrets.

Would her identity be exposed in front of all?

But… Clara was a normal name, no one would figure out as long as Horace didn't bring up.

Unsurprisingly, a journalist asked about it.

"Mr. Kirkland, does the name of the fund bear any special meaning?"

Horace said, "This fund is named after my wife. She is also at the press conference today."

Hearing this, everyone was surprised. People looked around, trying to find his wife.

Mrs. Kirkland was here! Mr. Kirkland would reveal her identity! Big news!

The fund was named after Mrs. Kirkland. It seemed that they devoted to each other. What a loving couple!

Everyone was waiting to see Mrs. Kirkland and wondering who she was.

Sarah was struck by what Horace said.

"I can't take it anymore. Mr. Kirkland was so devoted to his wife. I'm close to tears. Why isn't there such a man for me? Alas, poor me."

An idea suddenly came to her mind. Clara Fund.

Clara Selman! Clara Fund!

Sarah turned to Stephanie, "Clara Fund, Clara... Isn't it Clara's name? Is it just a coincidence?"

Clara almost freaked out!

She wanted to explain that it was just a very common name, and it was just a coincidence. But before she could say anything, she heard Horace say,

"Clara Fund will be issued permanently, for my wife, Clara Selman."

Clara was speechless!

And the whole crowd went into a cmmotion!

Clara Selman!

It was Mrs. Kirkland's name!

There was only one person who looked angry.

Darren clenched his teeth and frowned his brow.

He was jealous of Horace, for he could express his love to Clara in such an unscrupulous way. Now both Horace and Ashlee stood in between Clara and him, not to mention Ashlee was already pregnant.

Darren stared at Clara who sat in front of him. He didn't know what was on her mind.

Clara was now surprised and delighted. She didn't know whether she was more surprised or more delighted.

People at GLAM all went crazy when they heard what Horace said!

Mrs. Kirkland was actually Clara, their colleague!

It couldn't be true! Clara's husband was Horace Kirkland! Mrs. Kirkland was that Clara! Did they lose their mind?

Sarah stared at Horace on the stage, shaking the photographer Luis. "Did you hear it? Did I hear it wrong? Clara's husband is..."

Luis replied, "OMG, OMG, OMG... I'm going crazy!"

He worked together with the Solrace corporation CEO's wife. He just made fun of her on the way here.

Darren had to admit he was impressed, for he could publicize their relationship in such a high-profile and wayward way.

It seemed that he was going to lose. At the thought of this, Darren seemed restless and frayed.

At this moment, Horace was rolling his wheelchair under the stage.

Amid everyone's exclamation, he approached Clara and gently extended his hand to her.

Clara's heart missed a beat.

"Horace, I, I..." she stammered a little.

Did Horace want her go on the stage?

Horace knew that Clara had never showed up as a focus center under the spotlight.

He said thoughtfully, "Don't worry. Just take my hand."

Clara was still hesitating.

Get on the stage?

She had been working under the stage and never came under the spotlight. How could she still remain calm?

But Horace didn't give her a chance to flinch. He took her by hand and led her to the stage.

People all looked at them.

Clara was flashed by the light. She felt as if she had entered the fairyland.

Clara was still in a trance. She couldn't believe what had happened. Unprepared, she didn't even know what to say.

She was brought to the public by Horace.

No wonder they came to their house this morning to dress her up, it was for the press conference.

As she stepped on the stage, she was bombarded by the flashes, to a point she couldn't open her eyes.

Everyone was excited to see Mrs. Kirkland!

Well, she was beautiful!

This was what she looked like. And she was elegant…

Sarah, under the stage, kept beating her chest and panting. "No way, no way, anyone can help me? I need artificial respiration! Oh God, oh God, Clara is Mrs. Kirkland! Clara's husband is Mr. Kirkland!"

The calmest person here was Stephanie who already knew it. She said to Luis, "Don't you want to take a picture of Mrs. Kirkland? It's the time."

Luis said, "How can I take pictures? I can see Clara every day. Do I still need to take pictures?"

"Stupid!" Sarah patted him on the forehead, "But since Clara is Mrs. Kirkland, we can definitely make the next headline by interviewing her!"

Sarah said, "Look, Clara is so attractive today!"

The people at GLAM were all excited. Darren was the only one livid.

How could Horace show her off in front of so many people! They thought it's love? Just because they got married?

He did not believe that Clara would fall in love with him. She was not as vulgar and materialistic. Horace couldn't win her heart with money.

Clara and Horace stood together on the stage, watching the audience applaud. Although Clara was very nervous, she gradually calmed down, with Horace holding her hand tightly.

Clara leaned over slightly and whispered, "Horace, thank you."
