Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 367

"No, it's not like that. You're lying. You're lying!" Laura broke down, pointed at the doctor, and cursed, "I don't even know you. You're just bullshitting!"

"This young lady, you can't deny it now." The doctor said in a panic, "You were the one who gave me a sum of money back then to tell this gentleman that his wife had been defiled. To keep this gentleman from being suspicious again, you also told me to tell him that his wife had selective amnesia due to the trauma and that it would be best not to ask her about the incident to keep her from having a nervous breakdown."

"I did everything you told me to do; now, how can you say I'm talking nonsense? I'm not taking the blame for you."

"You're talking nonsense, nonsense, it's all nonsense..." Laura couldn't find the words to retort for a moment at the revelation and could only keep mumbling the phrase.

How had things come to this? How had Sean suddenly come clean with Horace about it? Why she couldn't understand; what was going on?

Seeing Laura like this, Horace was convinced by the doctor and Sean's words.

How could it be? How could things turn out this way? For the first time, Horace didn't know how to face his mistake.

So, Clara hadn't been raped back then, so the baby in her belly... was his! Realizing this, Horace could not help but slap himself in the face.

All those images from the past came back to him, Clara's happy face when she told him she was pregnant, the look of disappointment and pain in her eyes when she heard he didn't want the baby, her crying and begging him to believe her words that the baby was theirs, her insisting that Laura had set her up...

And what about himself? Instead of believing her words and appropriately protecting her and the baby, he even persuaded her repeatedly and forced her to abort the baby.

It's all his fault! If it wasn't for him, how could she have lost her child, the child he had been hoping for with Clara, who belonged to both of them and suffered a miscarriage?

It was their first child, and it had disappeared because of his mistake, without a glimpse of the world.

"Horace, I came here today to set this straight with you. Now, do you believe what I said? And..."

Without waiting for Sean to finish, Horace's angry roar cut him off.

"Get the hell out of here!" Horace finally exploded, grabbing the phone in his hand and smashing it at Sean, "Get the hell out of here. I'll settle with you later!"

Sean's face looked grim as the phone hit him square in the face.

No one had ever thrown anything at him since he was a kid. Even his grandfather had only reprimanded him when he was angry. What kind of a bastard was Horace? How dare he do that to him!

Sean couldn't bear to go up to Horace and punch him hard, but today's situation was extraordinary. It was his fault, and Clara had evidence that he had bribed an officer.

The most important thing now was to find Clara, having done what she had told him to do and hoping she wouldn't leak the information. Otherwise, even if he died, he would drag her along!

With a hostile glance at Horace, Sean suppressed his anger and turned to leave.

He would get his revenge for today's humiliation later!

Whether it was Horace or Clara, he would never let them go! He would make them pay!

Seeing Sean leave, the doctor hurriedly followed, not daring to be in the same room with the horrible Horace.

He said, "This is the end of it, right? Will there be no more problems with his job? Oh my God, can these two gentlemen just let him go like a fart?"

At this point, he was regretting that he should not have agreed to do this back then; it was a matter of time for retribution to come. Who would have thought that five years had passed and he had almost forgotten about it, but now it was being brought up again?

Horace and Laura are the only two people left in the office, but the atmosphere is very different from before.

Horace hadn't spoken since his sudden outburst and hadn't even looked at Laura, just sat there quietly with his head down, lost in his thoughts.

But this kind of Horace scared Laura even more. Having grown up together and having spent five years with Horace, Laura knew Horace well enough.

If he had yelled at her, it meant he was willing to trust her in his heart. But now? Now that he was being silent, was he already convinced in his heart that she had done those things? Was this the calm before the storm? What would he do to her?

No, she could not lose Horace! She was no longer the young lady of the Hutchinson family. She had given up everything for Horace, her legs, her status, her pampered life!

What would she have left if she lost her status as Miss Hutchinson and Horace's sheltered care? What would she do with the rest of her life?

She trembled with fear at the thought and hurriedly pushed her wheelchair to Horace, saying urgently -

"Horace, you must believe me; I didn't do these things. We grew up together, you know me. How could I do such a nasty thing? You believe me. You've always believed me; you must believe me this time too!

It must be Clara. She must have paid off Sean and that doctor to set me up on purpose. She just wants to get back to you, so she set me up like that. Horace, you can't be fooled by her. You can't fall for it!

Have you forgotten? She cut my face because she was jealous of me in the first place. You saw that video with your own eyes; you should always believe it, right? She's never been a good person, and now she's deliberately trying to..."

"Shut up!" Horace interrupted Laura in a stern voice. She had the audacity to trump up a false counter-charge on Clara? Did she take him for a fool!

His heart was aching right now!

Because five whole years had passed before he finally saw this so-called first love of his, his so-called childhood friend, the woman he said he would take care of for the rest of his life!

But it was already too late.

Even if he realised it now, he had already hurt the woman he loved most because of this vicious woman in front of him!

Only at this moment did he realize how much Clara had suffered because of Laura in front of him!
