Chapter 315 Clara Is Recognized
“Mrs. Wilson, I think Miss Hutchinson deserves your son. If they get married, it will be a perfect match!” The lady who tried to flatter Mrs. Wilson said ingratiatingly.
Mrs. Wilson nodded with a satisfied smile as she looked at Clara.
A girl, after staring at Clara for a while, felt as if she had seen Clara somewhere, but she was a little hesitant This girl didn’t think she had seen the daughter of the Hutchinson family.
Nonetheless, the more she looked at Clara, the more familiar Clara looked. The girl struggled to recall all the ladies she had met. Then, it clicked! The girl suddenly shouted, “I remember!”
Anyone focusing on Clara was shocked. They looked back at the girl with annoyance, thinking she disturbed them.
Realizing that her voice was too loud, the girl hurriedly bowed to the others and apologized, but she said with excitement, “This lady looks so familiar. Her name is Clara Selman. She’s Horace’s wife.”
Although the girl had not seen Clara face to face, she had seen Clara’s photo on the Internet. As Horace’s big fan, the girl was curious about what his wife looked like. When the girl saw Clara’s photo, she didn’t think Clara was beautiful.
But now, the girl found Clara looked very stunning. And obviously, Clara didn’t have plastic surgery.
Hearing the girls’ words, all the people looked at Clara in amazement.
“Are you kidding me? Horace’s wife is the daughter of the Hutchinson family?”
“What the hell?”
“I heard that she divorced Horace and disappeared five years ago. But now, she becomes the daughter of the Hutchinson family.”
“What a drama! Does it mean that she and Laura have switched identities?” A man said.
“What do you mean?” The others read between the lines and all looked towards the man.
“Didn’t you know?” The man was first surprised and then got excited, “I have a friend who knows Horace. He told me that Laura was now living in Horace’s house. What do you think their relationship is?” The man finished with a wink.
“They’re married?”
“No, but now that they have been living together for a few years, they should be soon married.”
“Wow.”
The others all nodded and looked at Clara meaningfully.
Clara and Logan naturally heard this. Gently grabbing Clara’s hand, Logan comforted her quietly, “Clara, don’t take these seriously.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Clara returned with a smile. Since Clara decided to attend the auction, she was mentally prepared to face this. If she couldn’t even bear this, she wouldn’t have chosen to return.
Nonetheless, Clara didn’t expect that Laura had lived with Horace for a few years and that they were about to get married.
Clara tried her best to distract herself from that and straightened up, walking steadily forward. Clara had promised herself that she would never back down again!
When nearly all the guests arrived, this auction was to begin.
Just when the crowd fell silent and was ready to enter the auction hall, someone shouted, “Look! That’s Horace Kirkland, the president of Solrace! Why is he here?”
Hearing these words, Clara got nervous and panicked. She didn’t expect to see him so early!
Clara unconsciously clenched Logan’s arm. Logan gently patted her hand and said, “Clara, don’t be nervous. I’m here with you.”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Okay”. Clara nodded, and then calmed down. She was startled rather than scared.
After taking a few deep breaths, Clara looked up toward the entrance of the exhibition hall.
Horace was in a very common black suit, which, however, was fine-tailored and made of superior texture. It must be a custom suit.
Even if Clara had seen Horace on TV at the airport, she found that he was even much more charming than five years ago.
With fine facial features, a tall and upright figure, and a good temperament, Horace could bewitch any woman at present.
Horace wore a confident smile on TV that day, but now he put on a cold face, which even subdued the atmosphere in the hall.
Five years ago, Horace was only seemingly cold. Nevertheless, his current face could scare away anyone who tried to approach him.
Horace naturally saw Clara.
He froze at first sight.
He ignored her stunning gown, her delicate makeup, and the fact that she was holding Logan’s arm. In fact, Horace didn’t even bother to pay attention to Logan.
Horace stared at nothing but Clara’s eyes, which he saw in dreams every day.
Clara’s eyes remained as beautiful and clear as when they first met. Horace felt as if he could see her pure soul through her eyes. And Clara also stared at Horace with an expressionless look.
However, a closer look would reveal something else in her eyes.
It was hatred.
Horace was startled by the hatred in her eyes.
Horace and Clara looked each other in the eye, ignoring everyone around.
The others all remained silent and looked at Horace and Clara, surprised that what they had just talked about came true.
After a long silence, more and more people began to whisper about it.
