Become the Wife of A CEO

Ashlee panicked, but soon she changed her attitude, “I did it, so what? I fake her pregnancy and plan to make her infertile. But you can’t do anything to me because I’ve saved your life.”

Looking at him arrogantly, Ashlee had always liked the feeling that they hated her but there was nothing they could do.

Revenge gave her such a pleasant feeling.

Horace sneered, “Don’t think you can do anything just because you once saved my life. I told you, I’ll pay you back if you don’t come near Clara.”

Horace said this seriously, scowling at her. And she felt like there was nowhere to hide.

Ashlee was suddenly frightened, staring back at him, “What do you want?”

“Isaac,” Horace called Isaac, “lock her up first.”

Four giant men immediately pinned her down to the ground.

Horace turned around and said to her with a creepy smile, “Ashlee, you did save me, I’ll pay back for that. But I won’t spare you if you do something to my wife. You just stay here and rest. I’ll come back and settle this between us after I get the more important thing done.”

“Horace, you can’t do this!” Ashlee totally panicked, “I saved your life. How could you do this to me? You’ll go to hell!”

She was just talking nonsense only to call him back.

“Come back, Horace. You can’t do this.” Ashlee struggled to call him back but was pinned down by four giant men, “Darren and Sean won’t let you off the hook if you did this.”

Horace stayed silent until he left.

Seeing his leaving, Ashlee had never felt that scared before.

No one could save her from Horace.

Besides, he hadn’t done anything yet because she was his lifesaver. But what if he found out…

Ashlee couldn’t dare to think anymore, curling up with her arms around her knees while shaking, and mumbled, “Darren…”

While at Sean’s office.

His assistant Roger Mullins suddenly rushed in without knocking.

“Mr. Kirkland, something’s wrong!”

“What?” Sean frowned.

“Some of our subsidiaries suffered a sharp fall in their stock prices and they even hit limit down. Some of them were taken over maliciously by Solrace after the fall.”

Sean’s face changed instantly.

What was Horace doing?

Sean sent people to handle it right away, which turned out to be useless.

It was in vain.

“How could this happen?”

Sean fell into the chair, looking at the falling stock on the computer screen like the world was also going to fall.

The phone on the desk rang crisply, which sounded annoying and sarcastic to him now.

Sean picked the phone up and saw that it was from Horace, which made him more furious than he already was, and he almost smashed it and threw it out of the window.

Horace’s composed voice came from the other side of the phone as he hit the button, “Bro, that was from me. How do you like that?”

“Horace!” Sean was so angry that he yelled in rage to the phone.

“Why did you do this? What do you want?”

“Simple.” Horace sounded peacefully compared to Sean’s rage, “You’ve done something to me before, as your brother, I should return the favor, right?”

Sean was shocked, wondering if Horace knew about Clara.

But Sean struggled to calm himself, “Horace, did you do this to be against me for real?”

Sean still had confidence that Horace was afraid of him, or otherwise, he would have fought for the shares of their family business a long time ago.

Apparently, Sean was wrong.

Horace sneered at the phone, “Don’t think I was afraid of you for I didn’t make the move. I just didn’t care to do it then. But if you do something to Clara again, I’ll take everything from you.”

Horace hung up and left Sean alone staring at the phone.

Sean smashed it angrily.

Growing up, Horace was always the better one and Russell liked him more.

No matter what Sean did he would always get nothing. But things were different when it came to Horace.

Horace would always get the best just because he was the little one.

But actually, Horace got everything and Sean got nothing no matter good or bad. Sean was even called “mean” while standing around and watching.

That was why Sean planned that car accident and the kidnapping which left Horace disabled.

Sean thought he would beat his annoying brother by that. But Horace was still the better one in others’ eyes when he came back.

While Sean was still nobody, worthless.

He admitted that Horace was surely better than him, but he just couldn’t accept the fact that everyone preferred Horace instead of himself.

So he definitely would not let Horace win this time.

…

Clara woke up and got a call from Darren.

She picked it up and heard the anxious voice on the phone while wondering why he would call.

“Clara, did Horace purchase my father’s company on purpose? What happened? Was he crazy? After all, we are family. How could he do this?”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

She was shocked at what he said.

Clara tried to calm him down with several words and hung up as she didn’t know how to explain.

She checked Twitter on her phone and found out that Sean’s company and subsidiaries went broke all at once like there was an invisible hand grabbing him by the throat.

Horace just returned at this moment.

He walked into the room with medicine in his hand. Clara grabbed the phone and asked when he was helping her with the medicine, “Did you do this?”

Horace said “yes” without denying it.

Peacefully and frankly, he wasn’t afraid of anything.

“Why?” Clara was confused.

“It was Sean and Ashlee who planned your fake pregnancy.”

Clara froze.

Ashlee again!

No wonder she mentioned the pregnancy before like she was up to something.

“How about Ashlee?” Clara asked.

“I locked her up. It’s up to you what we’ll do to her.”

Clara looked at Horace in surprise, “I thought you were going to return the favor.”

“If she tries to hurt you,” Horace said seriously, “then I can be an ingrate.”

Clara was so moved and thought for a moment while staring at Horace.

“Forget it, just lock her up for now. After all, she did save you.”

Horace told Clara to rest as she was still weak.

Things were done with Sean, and now it was Ashlee’s turn.

Horace came to the basement in the wheelchair and heard Ashlee screaming before he entered.

“You bastard! Did you forget how I dragged you all the way to the hospital?”
