Become the Wife of A CEO

She looked a little embarrassed since she actually knew that asking the host to leave was inappropriate and impolite.

Yet, it was fortunate that Logan did not care about whether this request was inappropriate or not. He said, “Fine, I have something to handle now and I will leave you two alone.”

Although he was curious about their conversation, he knew that he must leave since Clara had asked him to.

Clara gave Logan an apologetic smile. Then, he smiled back to show that it was fine to leave.

As soon as Logan left the house, Laura became more arrogant, staring at Clara with contempt and pride, “Clara, you are pregnant, right?”

“How do you know about that?” Clara was shocked, wondering how Laura knew her pregnancy as she only told Horace and grandpa Russell about it.

“I can definitely have a lot of information about you since I cared about you so much,” Laura sneered, “You don’t think that you are a good secret keeper, do you?”

“You followed me!” Clara angrily shouted after she understood the hidden meaning of Laura’s words.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“So what?” Laura replied arrogantly, “Clara, you can only blame yourself for being so foolish that you did not realize it until now.”

“Laura!” Clara was so irritated that she became speechless.

“It was quite strange that Horace would fall in love with you,” happy with Clara’s anger and speechlessness, Laura continued with disdain in her tone.

Then, something hit Laura, which made her laugh loudly, “It is fine. I believe that he’ll divorce you very soon.”

“What do you mean?” Clara stared at Laura with alert, wondering what tricks she wanted to play again.

“I doubt whether Horace will believe that he is the biological father of the baby you are carrying,” playing with her fingernails, Laura smirked.

What Laura said reminded Clara of the conflicts between her and Horace. She pointed at Laura and shouted furiously, “So it was you who asked the doctor to tell Horace that I was raped, right?”

“Yes,” although Clara was true about her trick, Laura was still calm, “Moreover, I also told Horace that, when I saw you in the warehouse, you were totally naked and your clothes were all torn, so it was no doubt that you had been raped. You know what, Horace was furious when he knew that.”

“Laura! How could you!” at Laura’s words, Clara felt that there was rage flaming in her heart, “What the hell do you want?”

“I want Horace to divorce you and leave you, “Laura stood up and walked towards Clara with malice in her eyes, “Clara, I have told you that you should leave him alone. Yet, you didn’t do what I asked. So you can blame no one but yourself for this.”

Transfixed, Clara stared at Laura with shock. How could she still be confident and so shameless after doing those malicious things?

“Do you think that Horace will be with you again if he leaves me?”

“Of course,” Laura cast a despising look at Clara, “Clara, have you ever thought about why he trusts me instead of you?

“Because he still loves me,” Laura added before Clara could give an answer. “Horace doesn’t divorce you only because he doesn’t have an excuse. If it is so, I can give him one.”

Then, Laura turned around, sat down on the sofa, and sneered, “Clara, do you think that Horace will still love you after you were raped?”

Laura’s arrogance intensified Clara’s hatred towards her, “What about you? What do you think he will do to you if he knows that it was you who hurt me?”

After all, after being with Horace for such a long time, Clara knew Horace’s personality very well and also knew that he would never let off Laura if he knew the truth.

“Ha-ha!” Laura laughed out loud, “Clara, are you threatening me? How can you be so sure that he doesn’t know the truth? It was possible that he knew it from the very beginning and is now grateful to me for helping him to get rid of you. Do you think that you can attract him for your whole life only with your average face and talent?”

Clara had to admit that what Laura said was indeed what she doubted. Did Horace, such a smart man, really never doubt Laura’s intention?

Laura was convinced by the blankness in Clara’s eyes that what she said hurt her a lot.

Laura believed that, brought up in poverty, Clara must be diffident. Therefore, she knew that she could easily make Clara quit the game voluntarily only by telling her the enormous gap between her and Horace.

“Useless,” Laura taunted Clara in her heart.

“Clara, only a girl brought up in such a famous and wealthy family like me can deserve Horace’s love since I can help him with both his life and his career,” Laura flaunted, “But you, the daughter of a maid, can never win his love.”

At Laura’s words, Clara’s expression became unpathomable and she stared at Laura with sympathy, wondering how she would react after knowing her true family background.

Clara’s stare made Laura nervous. She raised her voice and cried angrily, “Why do you look at me like that?”

Clara tried to recover her composure by taking some deep breath. She knew that she should not quarrel with Laura any longer since she was there for Helena’s health problem.

“I’m not here to argue with you today,” Clara tried to suppress her rage.

“How absurd!” Laura sneered, “I don’t want to argue with you either. What the hell do you want from me?”

“I want you to save your mother,” without hesitation, Clara directly told Laura her true intention.

Clara’s words infuriated Laura. She glared at Clara with disbelief and shock, “What are you talking about? My mom was dead.”

“No, your mom is still alive and you are actually not a Hutchinson girl,” Clara unveiled the dynamite truth.

“Are you kidding me?” Laura turned pale, “Clara, stop your bullshit!”

“I’m serious. You are the biological daughter of my mom,” Clara looked Laura in her eyes and said seriously.

Laura was so irritated that an angry smirk crossed her lips, “Clara Selman, I know that you are now self-abased. Yet, are you trying to scare me by telling me such bullshit? Do you think that I’ll believe you?”
