Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 159

The dramatic change in Sarah's expression convinced Clara that something terrible had happened. Would it be that GLAM was going to be dissolved?

Not able to guess what had happened, Clara Selman asked, "What's wrong, Sarah? Anything happened?"

Sarah grunted haltingly because she did not know how to describe the whole thing.

"Sarah, tell me! You are making me nervous and anxious."

The look in Sarah's eyes made Clara believe that this "something" was about herself.

Sarah said, "Clara, check your Twitter. Things are happening! Well, yet, you should promise me that you won't be angry after reading those nonsenses."

Although Clara still couldn't guess what had happened, she was convinced that it was definitely bad news or Sarah would not speak in such a hesitant manner when she always spoke to others actively and decisively in her daily life.

Hashtags dashed into Clara 's eyes as soon as she opened Twitter.

She was taken aback.

Almost all the trending topics were about her –

【Clara Selman, the BITCH】

【Horrible Histories: Clara Selman】

【The True Colors of Mrs. Kirkland】

How could it be? What had happened?

She immediately clicked on a hashtag and found that there were several famous KOLs trying to uncover her personal information in a detailed way.

Various personal information about her, including her graduation photos, family background, academic scores, clubs she had attended, and so on, had been posted online.

Unsurprisingly, the news that she was Mr. Middleton's illegitimate daughter and that she had been rumored as a prostitute in school two years ago were also under heated discussion online.

The public were accusing Clara of being illegitimately born and her mother, Helena Selman, of being a bitch destroying others' marriage. What's more, she was described as a whore and a terribly indiscreet girl who had slept with countless men during her university life and she did not deserve Horace's love at all.

Realizing the seriousness of the event, Clara turned pale.

It took the society more than two years to forget those scandals. However, now, how could she show herself up in public again when these rumors reappeared as if there had been concrete evidence?

It would be much better if she was the only victim hurt by those rumors. However, since now she was Horace's wife, this incident would also bring disgrace to Horace's reputation.

Clara was totally stupefied.

She felt that she was stripped off and stood nakedly in front of everyone, sneered and judged by the whole world.

People online were criticizing, bullying and laughing at her. Her mother was now labeled as "a shameless mistress" and she herself as "a gold digger".

Yet it was not the truth!

Clara knew that she was innocent and those scandals and rumors were nothing but bullshit!

What's more, she was also sure that her mother, Helena Selman, was not the one to blame! Instead, she was the exact victim! And it was no other but Glenn Middleton, together with his family, who should be judged and cursed!

All of a sudden, Clara's eyes were attacked by a spasm of furious darkness.

Stephanie asked with concern, "Clara, are you alright? You look a bit off color."

It was obvious that Stephanie had already known all about those hashtags.

Well, maybe she and Helena Selman were the only two people who were still in the dark. Such a supposition was confirmed by the look on other people's faces.

Clara's heart sank, but she managed to utter a reply, "I am fine, Stephanie."

Her voice was low and powerless. She was too tired to think about other stuff.

Deadly silence descended on the office, which made the sound of typing much louder and more obvious than ever.

It was fortunate that Diane Kirby went to conduct her interview and she would not be in the office until noon, or a fight would happen in the office where Clara would tear her with her curse.

Clara tried to distract her attention from Twitter but she failed. She could not help reading the comments again and again.

As time went by, more and more people added their comments to those hashtags.

There were even some people posing screenshots of their chatting records with some so-called relevant people, defaming Clara's reputation and sharing rumors about her history in a mean way.

Countless comments had been reposted and shared, which flooded Stratmont's online community with all those rumors.

【How can an illegitimately-born girl deserve the love of the CEO of Solrace? It is impossible!】

【Well, no wonder Horace would try to keep the history of Mrs. Kirkland as a secret since she has such a dubious background. She is an illegitimate child with a prostitute mother. Horace, you have been deceived!】

【Horace's mother-in-law is a shameless bitch. She was a mistress destroying others' marriage! Whore!】

【Being a prostitute during university life? She is definitely a whore. How disgusting!】

【I have known her since I was in college. She was more than unscrupulous! She slept with everyone! A prostitute! A whore! A bitch!】

Clara heavily bit her lips, preventing herself from crying out.

A video of an unknown person interviewing Clara's university classmates had also been posted online.

【Anonymous User: You were Clara's university classmate, weren't you? And you were the monitor of the class. I believe that you know her very well. Is she an indiscreet girl as it is said online?】

【Class Monitor: Well, it has been years. I don't want to talk about her. I don't want to offend her. All in all, she had a bad reputation.】

【Anonymous User: Although the monitor doesn't want to tell us the truth, according to his answer, it is obvious that something terrible once happened. I have also invited some more of her classmates. Will they tell us the truth?】

【Classmate 1: This was widely known by the public at that time. It was said that she had had sex with a lot of men.】

【Classmate 2: I remembered that she once had a boyfriend and they broke up later when he found out that she was actually an indiscreet one. Then, the boy went abroad to France. That's all I know.】

What happened two years ago happened again, more overwhelming this time, dragging her down into the sea of hellish fire!

The look of disgust and the mean words of her former classmates and teachers drowned her again!

Two years ago, had it not been for the obligation of taking care of Helena Selman, Clara would definitely commit suicide. Now, when the merciless rumors attacked her again, she became too tired to stand up and fight back.

She could not hold her tears anymore. Heart aching, she felt as terrible as being thumped by the whole world.

She stifled her crying with all her strength and ran out of the office to the restroom. She locked herself in it, sobbing heavily.

Luis stood up, cast a look at Clara's desk and asked, "Sarah, does she cry?"

Sarah cried out, "Shut up and mind your own business!"

Sarah knew that Clara would like to be alone at that moment and that her comfort would do nothing good. She signed. Clara must be suffering a lot when things had gone wrong in this way.

Clara's phone kept on buzzing on her desk. Both Horace and Darren called. Whereas, at that moment, Clara could do nothing but sit on the flush toilet, crying.
