Become the Wife of A CEO

“You are such a shame for us women to do such things.” The lady who did the push also looked condescendingly at Clara, who fell to the ground, with a face of righteous indignation, “You got this look from your parents, even if you think you look ugly, you can’t ruin other people’s faces. Your face is not as pretty as this lady’s, but your heart is even uglier.”

“That’s right,” the man who echoed just now was a little ashamed, “I was too angry just now. Excuse me for my words, ladies.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay, she asked for it.”

“Yes, we all know you didn’t mean that.”

“What this woman did is really unforgivable…”

…

There was an uproar in the crowd and everybody started accusing Clara.

Struggling to get up from the ground, Clara found that her palm was scratched, and it was now glowing with blood.

Yet she didn’t have time to pay attention to her wounds. Clara immediately explained to the people around her, “I didn’t push her, it’s not what you think…”

“We’ve all seen it, stop your excuses!”

“Do you think we’re blind? Everyone saw you push this young lady.”

“Are you trying to say that this young lady fell down and cut her own face by herself? Come on! What a ridiculous excuse!”

“You dare not admit it?”

…

Apparently, no one believed Clara.

The crowd held Laura firmly behind them as if Clara would come forward and hit Laura at any moment. Clara felt indefensible.

“The ambulance is coming!” Just as everyone was about to carry out a new round of reprimands on Clara, the sound of ambulances came from afar.

People had no time to pay attention to Clara for now. They carefully helped Laura to the ambulance.

Clara knew that explanations were useless. Laura looked badly injured, so Clara wanted to get into an ambulance and go to the hospital with her.

“What’s wrong with you?” Clara was pushed aside just as she approached the ambulance, “You’ve hurt her already, and now you want to play more filthy tricks on her in the hospital? Would you ever stop?”

“I didn’t, I just want to check if she is alright.” Clara was aggrieved. Laura was injured, but people shouldn’t accuse her of being the attacker just like that.

“Stop lying! It’s all your fault, stop acting as if you care about her. Listen, you should instead go to the police station.” The man then reached out to Clara as if he wanted to catch her.

Seeing that the ambulance had already driven away, Clara had no intention of continuing to explain. She grabbed a taxi and headed to the hospital.

She hadn’t asked what had happened that year. These things are related to Horace’s life, so she must find out. Moreover, she felt that Laura had fallen on purpose. Clara must prove her innocence.

Arriving at the hospital, Clara found that Logan and Horace were there too.

“Horace!” Seeing Horace, Clara felt much relieved. She immediately told Horace what Russell had found. “Today Laura has admitted that she was not rescued by a cleaner, but escaped the fire herself.”

Clara couldn’t wait to tell Horace everything she knew. She couldn’t understand why Laura didn’t save Horace since she could escape on her own. Horace was clever, Clara was sure he would figure it out.

Horace had a cold face since he saw Clara. After hearing Clara’s words, he looked even angrier.

“If Laura had left on her own, why had she disappeared for so many years?” Horace stared at Clara and asked, “Why is the rope on my body untied?”All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I haven’t investigated this yet,” Clara thought that for a moment, Horace might not believe what she said, “but Laura did admit it herself when she…”

“Enough!” Horace interrupted Clara impatiently.

“Horace, what’s wrong with you?” Sensing Horace’s coldness, Clara was a little puzzled, “Why are you talking to me like that?”

Horace looked at Clara disappointedly. He took out his phone, opened a video, and handed it to her. “Watch it yourself.”

Clara was shocked.

It was a video of what happened to her and Laura at the café this afternoon.

In the video, Clara was talking to Laura in a very angry and exciting way, but Laura looked calm and innocent. In the end, Clara slapped the table angrily, and Laura fell to the ground, her face scratched.

The video was taken from afar, so there was no sound, but it captured everything clear, except when Laura fell to the ground. It looked as if Clara had deliberately pushed Laura to hurt her.

Someone in the café must have recognized Clara and Laura and filmed the video and posted it online.

“Horace, listen to me, it’s not true.” Afraid that Horace would also misunderstand herself, Clara anxiously explained what had happened in the afternoon, “I didn’t push her, she fell down by herself.”

“Clara, do you think I’ll believe you?” Horace looked disappointed. He didn’t expect Clara to deny it in such a dumb way. “Do you hate Laura that much? You’ve hurt her, and now you’re slandering her again.”

“Slander?” Clara couldn’t believe what she heard. She took two steps back slightly. From a little distance, Clara looked at Horace, her eyes filled with shock. She was sad, on the verge of collapsing.

She thought Horace believed in her, so the first thing she did when she saw him wasn’t explaining but tell him Russell’s words.

Horace didn’t believe Laura had escaped the fire on her own, Clara understood it. After all, she didn’t believe it either until she heard Laura admit it herself. It was bizarre.

Yet Clara did not expect that Horace would believe what people on the internet said, that she hurt Laura on purpose, instead of her. In Horace’s heart, was she a malicious woman who would deliberately disfigure someone out of jealousy?
