Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 393

"Sir, I haven't finished what I said just now." Isaac hurriedly turned to explain to Horace. "Mrs. Kirkland is not injured. Andre blocked the knife for her."

Horace had asked Isaac to investigate Andre before, so Isaac recognized him. Thinking of the scene just now, Isaac also muttered in his heart, "The hero saved the beauty. God knows if Mrs. Kirkland will be moved by that."

The same question also lingered in Horace's heart. It turned out to be the case. No wonder Clara took care of Andre so well. He no longer looked at Andre with resentful eyes. Horace could not hate the person who saved Clara.

But when he looked at the intimate action between the two of them, he felt very upset.

There was already another man protecting her. Would she fall in love with Andre? Would there still be any hope between Clara and himself?

Clara was helping Andre walk when she suddenly felt that someone was looking at her. But when she looked around, she didn't find any familiar figures.

"What's wrong?" Seeing the obvious doubt on Clara's face, Andre asked.

"It's okay." Clara shook her head. Maybe it was her illusion. Thinking of this, she looked at Andre and said, "Well, you can't go for too long. Let's go back to the ward."

"Well, okay." Andre agreed and slowly turned back with Clara's help.

Seeing that the two of them had returned to the ward, Horace walked out from behind a nearby tree. Isaac, who was following behind him, thought for a moment but still said.

"Sir, do you want to talk to her?"

"No. Let's go." After he finished speaking, Horace turned around and left. His eyes were filled with pain and bewilderment that others were not allowed to see.

Horace walked over to his car, opened the back door, and sat down. Naturally, Isaac followed and sat in the passenger seat.

"Sir, where are we going now?" Isaac couldn't figure out what Horace was thinking, so he asked.

However, Horace did not reply. Looking from the rearview mirror, Isaac realized that he was deep in thought. No one knew what he was thinking about.

After thinking for a while, Horace looked up and asked Isaac a question. "Except for Clara and Andre, did anyone else go to the opera house with them that day?"

"Laura," Isaac replied. "And I've also found out that Laura... invited Mrs. Kirkland to the opera house on her own accord."

Halfway through his sentence, Isaac felt a little regretful. The connotation behind his words was too obvious. Horace would definitely think that it was Laura who had done it.

However, Isaac had said that, so he must finish his words. Otherwise, he would only cause Horace to hesitate.

In Isaac's heart, there was no doubt that Laura had done this. Such a vicious woman must have bribed the killer first, and then deliberately asked Mrs. Kirkland out to create an opportunity to assassinate her. At this point, she still wanted to hurt Mrs. Kirkland. She was really a lunatic!

Although Isaac was very angry with Laura and wished she and Horace could break up sooner, he was worried that after Horace left her, Laura would retaliate and tell him what he had done to Clara to Horace. In that case, his career and future would all be ruined.

Laura! Horace clenched his fists tightly, with a scowl on his face. It seemed that she had forgotten his warning.

Last time, for the sake of the disability of her legs, he had already let her go. He didn't expect that she dared to hurt Clara. This time, he wouldn't let her go!

"Return to the Kirkland mansion and I'll see Laura." Horace opened said with a frosty expression. His ice-cold tone was filled with uncontrollable anger.

Seeing Horace's attitude, Isaac knew that he had hardened his heart this time. Horace would definitely not let Laura off so easily.

Thinking of this, Isaac became more worried and did not know how long he could hide it.

They drove all the way to the Kirkland house in fear. Feeling guilty, Isaac did not follow Horace to get out of the car. Instead, he chose to wait outside the house.

"Sir, I won't go in. It's better for you and Laura to talk about this alone." Isaac made up an excuse, looking a little flustered.

Horace replied "ok". He did not think much of it and strode in.

If he had been as calm as usual, he would have definitely noticed Isaac's unusual behavior today. He had never concealed anything between him and Laura from Isaac, so there was no reason for him to suddenly think of avoiding them.

However, Horace was only filled with thoughts of finding Laura to confront him. So, he did not have the mood to carefully observe Isaac's reaction.

It had been a long time since he last came to this place. Since he knew that it was Clara who was kidnapped by Laura years ago, he fell out with her and moved out of the house, and never came back to live with her.

There were memories of him and Clara in this house, which recorded every detail of their life after marriage. He was reluctant to leave, so he wanted to drive Laura out at that time.

But he remembered that her legs were broken because of him. Now she was alone and had nobody to rely on. She was already punished. If he drove her out again, she was likely to be homeless.

He couldn't be so cruel to his old lover, so he softened his heart and let her continue to live in his place.

However, it seemed that he had been too kind to Laura before! Such a vicious woman was not worthy of his sympathy at all.

As soon as they entered the door, Horace heard Laura's voice scolding the servant.

"What is this shit? Didn't I tell you that I prefer a light taste? Why the hell did you put so much salt in it? Do you want to kill me? You wanna get fired?"

Lowering her head, the servant trembled and did not dare to speak. This was not the first time such a situation had happened. The servant also knew in her heart that Laura probably wasn't really dissatisfied with the food, but she was in a bad mood and deliberately found an excuse to vent her anger on her.

According to her experience, she knew that if she retorted, she would be scolded even more harshly. If she didn't speak, no matter how Laura scolded her, this matter would be over soon.

"I'm the one who hired her. It's not up to you to decide whether she is fired or not." When the servant was about to cry because of the scolding, a man's voice saved her.

"Mr. Kirkland, you're back!" The servant cried out in surprise when she saw the visitor.

When Mr. Kirkland lived in this house, Laura treated their servants well in order to maintain her good image. However, since Mr. Kirkland moved away, Laura seemed to have changed into another person. She would often find trouble with them and often vent her anger on them.

If it went on like this, although Horace gave them more salary than other employers, she couldn't stand it anymore.

"Go." Suppressing the anger in his body, Horace said to the servant.

"Okay, okay." As if she had been granted amnesty, the servant left quickly.

She hoped that Mr. Kirkland could move back this time. Otherwise, she would really start to think about her resignation.
