Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 316

"What's going on? It seems they still have feelings for each other!"

"What the hell?" Someone asked the man who had been excited just now, "You said Laura was living in Horace's house, but what's going on now?"

"I don't know." The man was also a bit baffled. "I heard from a friend that Laura was crippled and it is Horace who has taken care of her these years, but he doesn't marry her. I thought Horace was worried that Laura was too weak to get married, so he decides to marry her a few years later. But it seems he still loves Clara."

"I agree with you. The affection towards Clara in his eyes was too obvious."

"You are right. However, now that he is willing to look after Laura, he should love her. But it is obvious that he loves Clara as well. Now that he couldn't stop loving Clara, why did he divorce her?"

Hearing this, the others all fell silent, not able to figure out the reason. And then a man said, "Who knows who Horace really loves? Maybe he loves both."

...

It was so noisy that Clara could not hear clearly what the others said. She only vaguely heard that Laura was crippled and Horace was taking care of her.

Clara was first surprised at Laura's disability, and then she was shut overcome with annoyance. Horace loved Laura so much that he was even willing to take care of her when she was crippled.

On the contrary, five years ago, Horace instructed Isaac to take Clara to have an abortion. Thinking of this, Clara sneered. She was too inferior to Laura in Horace's heart.

Clara looked away, turned around, and held Logan towards the auction hall, without looking at Horace anymore.

Nonetheless, Horace kept staring at Clara's back. Only then did Horace realize that Clara changed so much. She had never worn such a seductive dress before.

A few hours ago, Horace was told that Logan had returned, that the Hutchinson Group was going to hold an auction, and that Horace's sister would attend it.

When Horace heard this, he got excited with his heart beating fast. Five years ago, Logan said Clara was his real sister. Then did it mean that Clara would attend the auction?

Managing to get an invitation, Horace hurried to the hotel where the auction was held. "Clara finally comes back!"

The moment Horace saw Clara, his heart almost stopped beating! Horace kept missing Clara these years, and now he finally saw her...

However, Clara's gaze upset and flustered Horace. Clara looked so indifferent as if she didn't care about Horace at all. Horace wondered whether Clara learned to hide her emotions or that she no longer loved him anymore.

Horace clenched his fists and made up his mind. He would not let Clara go again!

Thinking of this, Horace followed Clara into the auction hall. The others also followed them towards the auction hall.

After all the people were seated, the host on stage announced in a loud voice that this auction began.

At first, some common porcelains were auctioned for 30 thousand to 100 thousand, attracting only a few green hands.

Those who were experienced all remained calm because they knew the really valuable things were always auctioned in the end.

Suddenly, the auctioneer pointed at a box and said, "Well, here comes the most special one in today's auction. Can you guess what it is in the box?"

Speaking of which, the auctioneer gave a mysterious smile. "I'm sure no one in the room can guess it."

What the auctioneer said interested everyone at present. Apart from pottery, porcelain, paintings, or calligraphy of celebrities, no one could imagine what could be described as special.

The crowd all whispered and talked about what should be in the red velvet box. Some people were very dissatisfied with the stalling. They got impatient.

The auctioneer knew it was time to spill the beans, saying, "It is a ring."

And then the auctioneer was booed by the crowd. They didn't think a ring deserved such great attention.

After the auctioneer opened the box and showed the ring to the crowd, the auction room fell into silence.

Someone broke the silence. "Are you kidding me? It's just a common ring!"

"I thought it was a ring from a king or a queen!"

"Besides, this is not even an antique. At most, it is just a modern craft."

"Even if you want to auction a modern craft, you should choose a diamond ring. Nobody is fool."

"I don't think they had anything attracting."

...

Instead of booing, Horace widened his eyes in shock when seeing the ring. The next second, he grasped the armrest of the seat, shaking all over with anger.

Horace was irritated. "How dare you!"

With eyes burning with rage, Horace looked at Clara, who was not far from him. Coincidently, Clara turned back and met Horace's gaze.

Seeing the anger in Horace's eyes, Clara sneered and thought it was ridiculous.

From where Clara stood, Horace didn't have to be angry at all. Horace's cheating on Clara led to their divorce. Now that they got divorced, Clara didn't want to keep the wedding ring anymore.

This ring meant nothing to Clara now, so she chose to auction it for money.

Clara wanted to disentangle herself from the past.

She was to bid farewell to her old self, Clara Selman, the one who made a big mistake and fell in love with Horace Kirkland.
