Become the Wife of A CEO

Seeing that Sean left, the rest of the board members also lost their backer. At this time, they definitely couldn’t attack Horace him.

Thinking of the attack on Horace just now, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and was extremely nervous.

“The meeting is over. You can go back now,” Russell waved his hand.

Feeling that they could finally breathe a sigh of relief, everyone quickly stood up and left the meeting room.

“Grandpa, if there is nothing else, I have to go now. I have a lot of things to deal with.” Seeing everyone leave, Horace also said goodbye to Russell.

“Wait a minute,” said Russell. “I have something to tell you.”

“Okay.” Horace was confused and didn’t know what his grandfather was going to say to him. He asked Isaac, who had been waiting outside the meeting room, to follow her. And Horace walked with Russell to his office.

“Grandpa, what’s up?” Sitting on the sofa, Horace asked.

“I heard that Clara was kidnapped a few days ago. What happened?” With a serious look on his face, Russell asked, “How is Clara now?”

Hearing that his grandfather was going to ask about this thing, Horace’s face turned livid. He paused for a moment and replied, “Don’t worry. Clara is fine now.”

“Have you found out who kidnapped Clara?” How dare those people kidnap his granddaughter in law? Did those guys look down upon the Kirkland Family?

Without answering Russell’s question, Horace pursed his lips into a straight line, with hatred in his eyes.

Russell had watched Horace grow up. Of course, Russell knew that Horace’s expression showed that he had found out the person who kidnapped Clara.

“Who is it?” Russell was very angry. He wouldn’t let the man go.

“Grandpa, Clara is back safe and sound.” He didn’t want to tell Russell that it was Sean who did it. Russell was old, so he didn’t want Russell to be sad for the fight between him and Sean.

Hearing that Horace was unwilling to reveal the person behind the kidnapping, Russell also guessed that this person’s identity was not simple. Maybe the person was someone he knew.

“Who the hell is it?”

But Horace just kept silent.

“Well, you don’t want to tell me, do you?” Russell turned to look at Isaac, who was standing aside, and said, “Isaac, it’s you that investigated it, right? Tell me.”

Looking at Horace, Isaac was in a dilemma and didn’t know if he should tell Russell.

“What’s wrong? You don’t even take me seriously now?”

“No, sir. I … I…” Isaac was flustered. He didn’t know what to say.

“Then just tell me what happened.”

Taking a look at Horace, he finally couldn’t bear the pressure of Russell. “In fact, it’s the eldest master who kidnapped Clara some time ago.”

“What?” Russell suddenly stood up and asked in disbelief, “You said that Sean kidnapped Clara?”

“Yes.” With a serious look on his face, Isaac nodded. “And he also threatened Horace to release the customer information of all the companies under the name of Kirkland Group.”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“He’s behind this too!” Russell was so angry that he threw the teacup in front of him out. “How dare he! He still shamelessly forced you to hand over the shares today. Is he completely out of control?”

“Grandpa, don’t be angry. It’s bad for your health.” Seeing that Russell was furious and trembling slightly, Horace was worried about his health and hurried to help him to sit down.

“And you!” Unexpectedly, Russell yelled at Horace. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? If I hadn’t forced Isaac to tell the truth, when would you tell me? What’s the point of protecting him?”

“Grandpa, I’m not defending him. I’m…”

Noticing the embarrassment on Horace’s face, Russell also guessed that this matter was not as simple as kidnapping. “What else do you hide from me?”

“Grandpa, I…” Horace didn’t know how to tell Russell about this. Recalling the video he saw that day, he still wanted to kill Sean.

“Isaac, you tell me!”

“Russell, it’s about Clara. I… I don’t know how to say.”

Russell didn’t understand why these two people tried to cover up. “Why don’t you know how to say? Did Sean do anything else to Clara except kidnapping her?”

Uttering these words, Russell saw that both Horace and Isaac looked a little embarrassed. Am I right? Did Sean really do something else to Clara…

All of a sudden, Russell stood up and kicked down the tea table in front of him. The exquisite ceramic cups were smashed to the ground, turning into pieces, which reflected the light in the lamplight.

“How dare he! Clara is his sister-in-law. How could he do such a thing?”

Seeing that Russell was thinking about something else, Isaac hurriedly said, “Russell, the eldest master didn’t do such a thing, but he…” Isaac gritted his teeth and continued, “He found four beggars and asked them to…”

“That’s enough! Stop!” Sitting next to Isaac, Horace couldn’t stand it anymore and interrupted Isaac harshly. He looked angry and blue veins stood out on his hands.

Hearing what Isaac said, Russell was so shocked that he staggered two steps back and almost fell to the ground. Thanks to his sharp eyes and agile hands, Isaac hurried to hold Russell and let him sit on the sofa.

“How could he do such a thing? How dare he! How dare he…” Russell even had no strength to curse. He collapsed on the sofa and muttered, unable to come to his senses for a long time.

Horace sat aside with a long face. He grabbed the edge of the sofa so tightly that his fingers sank in.

For a moment, the office fell into silence.

…

In the villa, after breakfast, Clara was sitting on the sofa and watching TV, but she didn’t hear a word from the TV, thinking about what happened last night.

Thinking that maybe Horace didn’t like her, Clara felt her heart ache.

At this time, her mobile phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was a call from the hospital where Helena was. Worried about her mother’s health, Clara answered the phone in a hurry.

“Are you Helena’s family?” The doctor’s serious tone on the other end of the phone made Clara nervous.

“Yes, I am her daughter.”

“Please come to the hospital now. Your mother has problems with her body. We need to explain the details to you.”
