Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 158

Clara's words brought a tinge of sadness in Logan's eyes. When he thought of Laura, he always remembered his childhood playing with Laura in the park.

When he was a child, Laura always followed him around, like a little duckling. He was always hiding from her because he found her annoying and did not want to play with her.

It was not until his parents died that Logan found that he had only one family member left. She was so young and needed protection. Only then did he understand his burden and responsibility.

Logan whispered, "My parents died more than ten years ago. Laura was my last and only family."

Clara also felt sad.

She wanted to get back to the point and interview Logan about the antique exhibition, but Logan didn't want to continue anymore.

Logan said, "Well, that's all for today. I've already told you everything I should have." He was implying that she needed to leave.

Clara thought that the interview for the magazine should be completed. None of the questions were asked yet.

Clara said, "Mr. Hutchinson, I'll just ask you a few questions about the antique exhibition, OK? Let's not talk about anything else."

Logan showed a smile. The smile was scornful as if her words were ridiculous.

He said, "Do you think Darren send you to interview me for this antique exhibition? I found that you are a bit stupid. No wonder you were deceived by Horace. You deserved it."

What did he mean? Darren asked Clara to interview Logan, not for the article, but for what? Were Darren and Logan standing on the same side?

Logan said, "Or, you know what kind of person Horace is, but you just love the reputation and benefits that the identity of Mrs. Kirkland would bring to you? Clara, I don't understand how you can bear with such an indifferent and cold-hearted man."

Logan's words were too harsh to listen to. Clara found that there was no need to continue the interview anymore. She did not touch her coffee and stood up to leave.

Logan finally said, "Clara, I hope you can think about it. Think about what I said! You have done my best to save you from him."

The interview ended in an unpleasant atmosphere.

Clara went home listlessly all the way.

The interview task was not completed. None of the questions she had prepared were asked, and instead, she got scolded and warned.

When she got home, she found that Horace was already reading a magazine on the sofa.

Horace saw her and said, "What happened? You are so early today!"

"I had an interview today, but it ended before the expected time," Clara answered. She was not in the mood to talk.

While watching him sitting on the sofa, she wanted to remind him of the fire and the grudge Logan had for him.

Finally, she could not help but ask, "Horace, have you ever investigated who the person was that abducted you that day? Have your grandpa?"

Clara thought that if that person was found, maybe they would know who set up the fire and Horace would not have to take all the blames for Laura's death.

When the criminal was found, Logan would not blame Horace for this and maybe they could be friends, as they had both loved Laura so much.

Horace asked in curious, "Why suddenly bring this up?"

"Nothing, I was just wondering."

Horace asked Clara to sit next to him.

Then he said, "Actually, I have found him, but..."

He was not able to complete the sentence.

He had known what happened that year, but he just was not ready to tell her all about it.

He was afraid that she would be in danger if she knew.

"But why did you ask this so suddenly? Could you please tell me the reason?" he continued.

Clara hesitated for a while then she held his hand, and looked him directly in his eyes, "Horace, I just hate it when people misunderstand you for leaving her in the fire because I know you did not."

Horace frowned.

He could not have guessed what happened to her today. Maybe it was because of the comments online.

"Don't worry about it," he said, "I will find out the truth and tell the world at the right time. Now is just not the right time."

Horace did not make it any clearer to her, but out of pure trust, she nodded and stopped asking.

The next day, when Clara was ready to go to work, Horace said he would send her to her company.

In the car, he asked her, "Did you encounter any troubles since we go public?"

Clara shook her head, "No, no trouble at all. All of them suddenly become extra nice to me. Yesterday when I went to the exhibition, I got recognized by the taxi driver and the salesgirl. It felt so weird you know. I guess I will never get used to it."

It was better that way. Horace was worried that she would be in danger as he had quite a few enemies in the city.

Horace sent her to the gate of the building. She said goodbye and went inside.

When she got off the car, Isaac said, "Mr. Kirkland, we almost get to the person who framed Clara that day. I just need more time."

Even though there were blocks on the way, they still managed to find out the truth.

Horace was satisfied, "Good. Don't let them escape. I look forward to the good news from you."

Receiving the encouragement, Isaac was happy. He continued, "About the little girl who saved you ten years ago, I about to have a name. That dress was a limited edition and only ten buyers in this city. As soon as I have the name list of the buyers, we can find out who exactly that girl was."

Horace nodded, "Yes, go on with what you are doing."

Horace really wanted to know the truth. He wanted to find justice for Clara, and he also wanted to say thanks to that little girl who saved his life.

When Clara got into the lobby, she was stared at again. But now she got used to it.

The interview was a disaster, but she was in a good mood today.

She got into the office humming her favorite song, then she saw Sarah rushing toward her, yelling, "Clara, we are in trouble!"
