Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 244

"You refused to apologize to Laura. And now, you are even slandering her. How did I educate you!"

Being slapped twice in a row by Helena, Clara collapsed. Her tears fell like rain. "Mom, who is your daughter? Me or Laura?"

After shouting this to Helena, Clara ran out of the ward crying.

At the end of the corridor, Clara stopped. She was exhausted. She sat slowly against the wall, buried her face in between her knees, crying bitterly.

Laura framed her. But neither her mother nor husband, whom she thought to be the closest to her in the world, believed her.

They all sided with Laura and blamed her. Helena had never beaten her, but today she beat her twice for Laura.

Laura's jeer, people's pointing at her, Horace and Helena's yelling at her... all flashed through Clara's mind. She felt suffocated. She wanted to scream.

Clara felt so alone. No one trusted her in the world.

Laura was beautiful, but Clara couldn't feel her beauty. Now, all Clara wanted was to reveal Laura's hypocrisy and let everyone see her ugly heart.

But how?

Clara was immersed in her sorrow. She couldn't stop crying. At this moment, she felt someone crouching down in front of her. She opened her tear-filled eyes and looked up. It seemed to be Logan.

Seeing that Clara's crying eyes were swollen and her snot was flowing, Logan felt sorry. He took a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Clara.

Clara looked at Logan angrily without taking the handkerchief. Logan sighed, and then reached out, wanting to wipe Clara's tears.

"Go away!" Clara shook Logan's hand away and roared in a hoarse voice, "Stop acting."

Picking up the handkerchief that had fallen aside, Logan handed it to Clara again, "Wipe your tears first."

"What does it have to do with you?" Thinking that Logan was Laura's older brother, Clara couldn't suppress her anger, "Horace and my mom don't trust me. No one in the world does, your sister won. So, stop!"

"I trust you." Logan looked at her and said softly.

"You?" Hearing Logan's words, Clara froze for a moment. Logan believed her?

"Yes," Logan looked at Clara and repeated his word without hesitation. "I trust you."

"Why?" Clara was puzzled. Finally, someone trusted her, but it was the last person she had ever thought of. "You trust me instead of your sister?"

Hearing Clara's question, Logan was a little embarrassed. Indeed, few people in the world would trust other people than their family.

Logan hesitated a little and then said bitterly, "I watched Laura grow up. I know her very well. She'll never give up on what she wants."

Clara was still confused. Seeing that, Logan sat next to her and continued, "When Laura was in kindergarten, one day a little girl in her class brought a doll. It was very beautiful. Laura liked it. So, she asked the little girl if she could give her the doll. The little girl also liked the doll very much, so she refused."

"Later, when Laura was playing with the little girl, she suddenly came to the teacher in tears. There were several scratches on her arms, she said that the little girl attacked her."

Laura was crying badly, so the teacher called me and the girl's parents to the kindergarten. When I arrived at school, Laura hugged me and cried, saying that she liked the doll so much that she wanted to hug it secretly, but the little girl saw it and hurt her."

The girl had been quietly saying that she hadn't hit Laura, but she was probably frightened by Laura's cries and the blood on her arms, so she didn't defend herself very much. As a result, the girl's parents believed that their daughter had indeed hurt Laura. They coaxed Laura apologetically and gave her the doll. Only then did Laura stop crying."

"Later, the teacher went to check the surveillance video, because she couldn't figure out why would the usually quiet girl suddenly attacked. Unexpectedly, she saw that when the two were playing, Laura suddenly scratched herself, and then ran to her in tears."

"Thinking that they were kids and that the matter had been resolved, the teacher didn't mention it again. However, she called me over, told me about the truth, and asked me to educate Laura well."

After saying that, Logan looked at Clara with some embarrassment. He assumed that this time, Laura probably did the same thing to make Horace not believe Clara.

Hearing Logan's words, Clara had mixed feelings. She didn't expect Laura to be so scheming at such a young age.

"So, you mean that Laura won't give up on Horace since she likes him so much and that she was lying when she said she won't get between me and Horace?"

Logan nodded, "I guess so. That's why I warned you to be careful."

Clara looked at Logan and asked, "I said that Laura left the fire by herself ten years ago, do you believe me on that too?"

"Yes, I do." Logan nodded. He hesitated again and then said, "However, I don't think Laura left Horace there on purpose. She must've been scared. And she didn't have the strength to take Horace out. After that, she was probably afraid that we would blame her, so she said that someone had saved her."

Laura was Logan's sister after all. He didn't want to think of her as a bad person.
