Become the Wife of A CEO

“As you see, I’ve done what you asked,” Horace stared at Sean, looking very grumpy, “now where is Clara? Let her go!”

Seeing that Horace had released the data here, Sean was simply bubbling with excitement as he got two for the price of one.

Those people from Kirkland Group would no longer take Horace’s side with such a huge crisis of faith and Russell couldn’t defend him anymore. Plus, the business of Solrace would suffer and would no longer be a threat to Kirkland Group and Sean himself.

Sean thought his plan was so impeccable that he could applaud himself.

Thinking that Horace did this just for a woman, Sean couldn’t help but start sneering, “Horace, is it really worth it for a woman? Wouldn’t think there’d be a lover like you in our family!”

“Cut the crap! Where is she?” All Horace wanted right now was to kick Sean’s ass.

“Room 307, Pine Valley Medical Center. Go find her yourself.” Noticing Horace’s anger, Sean turned and walked away with an address. He knew nothing good would happen if he kept staying here.

“Horace, don’t worry, I won’t kick you out even if you are going to be worthless to the Kirkland family. Just one more piece of crap, I don’t mind wasting some money on keeping you alive. Haha!”

Sean said these quite brazenly as he was not willing to just leave like that and thought, “Horace, I thought it was tricky to deal with you. But with your soft spot Clara, you are no match for me.”

Hearing these words, Horace clenched his fists tightly while Isaac had an overwhelming urge to kick Sean.

“What matters now is to find Clara!” Horace stopped Isaac while watching Sean walk away and said coldly.

“Yes, sir!” Isaac knew what mattered the most, “I’ll drive to the hospital right away.”

“No, it would be a mess soon after the data leakage and you need to stay and take care of it.”

“But are you sure you can make it on your own?” Isaac was a bit wary of letting Horace drive by himself as Horace must have been more furious than him.

“It’s okay, give me the key.”

“OK.” Isaac also knew that he should be here for the company.

On the way to the hospital, that video was replaying and Clara’s desperate face was lingering in Horace’s mind. He felt like he couldn’t see anything before him but the scene where Clara was struggling and screaming.

A loud “bang” brought him back. Horace shook his head and realized what was happening.

It was a rear-end collision as he didn’t notice that the car before him had stopped at the red light.

“Do you know how to drive? Are you blind?” The man in the car before Horace got off the car and yelled at him insistently.

Horace took out his wallet as he didn’t have that time to handle this, and said, “How much? I’ll pay.”

“What’s that supposed to mean? You think you can do everything with money? I must make it clear to you today. Look what have you done with my car!”

“How much?” Horace ignored his words and asked again while staring at him.

Seeing the look in Horace’s eyes, he didn’t dare to talk anymore. The way Horace looked at people was so cold yet bursting with anger that they would tremble at a glance.

“Five… five grand!” The man stuttered and asked for this much.

Horace gave him all the money in the wallet and then drove away.

He was so furious that he was not in the mood for an apology and the extra money he gave that man was for compensation as the whole thing was his fault.

Horace then drove to the hospital at full speed.

At the hospital, Horace ran crazily towards room 307 and accidentally hit a few people without apology as he couldn’t wait to see Clara.

Finally, at the doorway of the ward, Horace flinched when he touched the doorknob as he was suddenly afraid to go in.

He wasn’t there the last time Clara got hurt and this time he still wasn’t there. He had promised her that he would protect her no matter what. How could he face her now that he had broken his word twice?

Horace went to the window and saw Clara lying in the bed with her eyes closed, looking pale, and seeming like she was still in a coma.

There were hurt and remorse in Horace’s eyes at the sight of the gauze on Clara’s head. And he swore to himself at heart, “Sean, I won’t let you get away with this.”

“Horace, you came.” Laura inside the room saw Horace, walked out, and said to him.

Horace took a look at Laura and then fixed his gaze on Clara in the bed. He said, “How’s she doing?”

Seeing that it was all about Clara for Horace now, Laura looked down with a bit of hatred on her face and raised her head at Horace with sorrow.

“She hurt pretty bad, and she had already passed out when Logan and I found her.”

“Logan? How did you find her?” Horace turned around and asked while looking at her with distrust and doubt.

Being stared at by Horace, Laura felt a bit guilty, looked away, and said, “We were going to a restaurant, and we saw she was carried to a car by two men in masks when we passed by the subway station. Then we followed that car in a hurry so we didn’t have time to call you.”

“We followed that car to the outskirts but it suddenly disappeared after a turn. We then got off the car, looked everywhere, and found it near an old warehouse.”

“We were worried that she would be in danger so we rushed in. But there was no one else except Clara passing out on the ground, and it seemed that she was…”This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“She was what?” Seeing that Laura said reluctantly, Horace asked loudly with a bad feeling, and he hoped it wasn’t like he thought.

Laura didn’t say anymore, “Horace, please don’t ask, she’s fine now. And she wouldn’t want you to know what happened to her.”
