Become the Wife of A CEO

Horace helped Clara to lie on her bed and tucked up, “Have a good rest.”

“Horace, I…” Clara wanted to ask about Solrace’s problem. But she also feared that her question might irritate Horace.

Horace saw Clara’s sincere eyes and he knew Clara wouldn’t calm down if he didn’t give her an explanation. So, he made up a reason and said, “There is a flaw in our cyber defense system. We were hacked and clients’ information was leaked.”

He didn’t want to tell her the truth. Things wouldn’t change whether he told her the truth or not. She would just be feeling more guilty.

And he didn’t want Clara to remember what happened. Maybe the doctor was right. It’s good to forget sometimes.

Hearing his words, Clara seemed to understand and she didn’t suspect his words.

She took Horace’s hand and she found she had no idea how to comfort her love. She just held Horace’s hand more tightly to let him feel her support for him.

Horace knew what was in Clara’s mind and he patted her hand, “That’s fine. I will deal with it and you don’t have to worry. Now the most important thing for you is to have a good rest on your bed.”

Seeing Horace was still worried about her health, Clara was quite moved and she sat up and hugged Horace in sympathy while whispering to him, “Things will get better.”

“They certainly will.” Horace also held her in arms tightly.

These days he had been heading here and there to deal with his clients and the journalists, which really exhausted him. Now Clara’s hug had somewhat relieved his stress.

They kept holding each other in arms for a long time and Clara felt Horace was much heavier as if he was going to collapse on her.

“Horace,” Clara couldn’t stand it anymore and called Horace softly. But there was no response.

“Horace?” Clara raised her head and turned to Horace’s face. She felt somewhat relieved as she saw Horace had been asleep.

Clara lied back onto the bed slowly to let Horace lie on her bed. Then she tucked up for him and stroked his face affectionately. He must be so tired these days.

Clara was afraid that she would wake Horace up and she put her hand down and just lied beside him quietly.

…

Meanwhile, Laura Hutchinson and Sean Kirkland met at an unfrequented restaurant.

“Seemingly, you’re not as competent as you said. You still let Clara escape despite your promise,” Sean said scornfully.

Laura, however, simply ignored him, “But you still got what you want.”

“That’s right. I didn’t expect Horace to be so deep in love with Clara. He’s willing to do anything for her. I don’t think you have a chance.”

Sean didn’t say those to irritate Laura. He knew how important career was to a man. Now since Horace even sacrificed his career for Clara, Sean didn’t think Horace would choose Laura in the end.

“Really? It’s too early to make a conclusion, I think.” Laura took a sip of the coffee before her.

Noticing the calmness on her face, Sean got a bit curious, “So, you got another idea?”

Laura put down the cup and said slowly, “It doesn’t matter whether Clara was raped or not. I just need to let Horace believe she was raped.”

“So, how did you make him buy your story?”

Laura smiled like a cunning fox, “I told Horace that my brother and I saved Clara together. And I also told him that I saw Clara seemed to have been raped.”

“And he believes you?” Sean was a bit astonished as he heard that. Clara wasn’t a fool. She would certainly tell Horace if she wasn’t raped. How could Laura fool Horace?

“I hired a doctor to tell Horace she has lost her memory as her brain wants to protect her from trauma,” Laura said indifferently, “How about that, Mr. Kirkland?”

Sean was taken aback by her words. What a sophisticated liar!

“Then with that idea in mind, Horace would lose his love for Clara gradually. Then I don’t have to do anything. They will break up in the end.”

Sean nodded after he heard her words and he was surprised that she could fool a man as smart as Horace. Now Sean knew he must be careful when cooperating with Laura.

“You look quite happy, Mr. Kirkland. The stock price of Solrace dropped drastically. You must be glad to hear that.”

“Right,” Sean said with a subconscious smile on his face, “But that’s not by sole purpose.”

“So, what else do you want to do?” Laura said curiously.

Sean didn’t want to talk much about it, “You will know it soon.”

“Old fox,” Laura cursed him in her heart. But it didn’t matter. She only needed his help.

“I still got a question to ask you,” Sean looked at Laura and asked.

“What’s that?”

“You said you still love Horace. Then why you cooperate with me to ruin his company? Don’t you feel sorry for him as you see what happened to Solrace?”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

“His company has nothing to do with me,” Laura said indifferently, “I just want Horace himself. I want to take him from Clara. I don’t care about his company.”

Hearing her words, Sean trebled all over with fear. That woman didn’t love Horace. She just wanted to steal him from Clara as she couldn’t accept her Horace fell in love with another woman.

Then they discussed what to do next and then left the restaurants as they both had their own plan.
