Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 198

The three looked at her in amazement, surprised to hear that she would agree to let her off.

"What condition?" asked Sean quickly.

"You will have to give Horace half of your company's stakes," said Clara emphatically.

Clara remembered that Russell had told her it had been the result of Sean's plot that Horace didn't own any shares of the company, so she thought of the idea to benefit Horace.

"No way ever!" Sean blurted out instinctively.

"Then don't even think about Ashlee and her baby will be fine," Clara responded with the same determination.

Sean's face soon turned pale.

Meanwhile, Horace was also surprised to hear the requirement.

He had never expected Clara to know any of those stuff, and he was also surprised that she would have done that for him.

Sean and Darren hesitated for some time before they finally said reluctantly, "Fine, I agree, Horace, let go of Ashlee."

After all, Ashlee's baby was more important to them than anything else.

But Horace ignored them and turned to Clara with his eyebrows knitted, "Ashlee has done those horrible things to you, and deserves punishment, so you won't have to let her off the hook because of me."

Clara smiled and said, "I'm fine. I just really want to do something for you."

Horace relented.

Ashlee was saved, but the company was gone and Clara soon learned that Glenn fled abroad because of debt.

The next day, Russell came to visit them the first time since her fake pregnancy.

Russell showed his concern about Clara's health, without mentioning a single word about the pregnancy.

The nicer Russell was, the guiltier Clara felt.

Clara sat across him and kept apologizing to him.

"I'm so sorry... I disappointed you."

"Sweetie," Russell said to Clara with a loving tone, "This is not your fault. I already knew everything and what Ashlee and Sean had done. Hell, I had no idea Sean, that jerk, would have done such thing. He's a shame of the family."

To stop her from feeling sad, he changed the topic and talked about the shares instead. He looked at Clara appreciatively.

"Thank you, I felt so much relieved now."

Clara looked more energetic thinking of that, and said, "It's useless to keep her around anyway, now that they want her, then I thought I would just sell her for something, to make Sean and Darren feel indebted and appreciate, and then get some stocks back. It would also make it more convincing for Horace to hold the stakes."

"Good kid," Russell said to her with a touched look, "You are too kind and always nice to others. You always think about others, what about yourself?"

"Me?" Clara froze for two seconds, and then laughed. "What is there to think about?"

"You aren't worried that Ashlee will take revenge?" Russell shook his head. "Anyway, be careful."

Russell soon left. When he's gone, Clara mused over what he had said.

Afraid of Ashlee? And her revenge?

So what?

As long as she had Horace, that would be enough.

The incident was pretty much over, and since Sean, Darren and Ashlee had stopped making trouble for Clara, she had been living a peaceful life.
