Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 240

Ignoring what Laura said, Clara reminded herself that she must be wary of Laura from now on. However, Clara had no idea what she could do. Clara felt she was getting mentally far away from Horace.

"I'm nearly home, so just leave me here." Clara didn't want to spend any more time with Laura, so she asked Laura to stop the car, even if she didn't know where they were now.

Laura did not say anything more and left after Clara got out of the car.

Looking at Clara in the left-wing mirror, Laura narrowed her eyes with contempt and disdain. Clara remained silent whatever Laura said, so Laura thought Clara was indeed a pushover. Laura became more confident to defeat Clara.

The next day, Clara received a call from Russell and was told to have dinner with him. Clara hadn't seen Russell for a long time, so she agreed without hesitation. After work, Clara went to a restaurant to meet Russell.

"Clara, I've heard about Laura. Are you alright?" Russell cut to the chase after Clara sat down opposite him. He was afraid that Clara would be bothered.

"It's okay." Clara was touched by Russell's worried look and thought Russell was almost the only one who cared about her. "Grandpa, you don't have to worry about me. I'm fine and I can deal with that myself."

Hearing Clara's words, Russell looked at Clara even more worriedly. He wanted to say something but stopped.

Clara realized Russell wanted to say something important rather than only comfort her.

"Grandpa, do you have something to share with me? Is it about Laura?" Clara asked with a serious look.

Hearing this, Russell nodded. "You asked me to investigate the kidnapping ten years ago, and my people do find something new about it."

Clara turned upset when hearing this. "Grandpa, now that Laura is back and she has told us what happened ten years ago, you can ask your people to stop. Thank you for what you did these days."

Russell, however, shook his head. "I've read Laura's explanation in the newspaper, but it is different from what my people said."

"Then what on earth happened?" Clara asked anxiously. She did not expect what Russell's people found to be different from what Laura said.

"I purposely had someone look into the cleaner, according to Laura, who saved them. However, some said that the cleaner was playing cards with some people instead of cleaning there that day."

"Then, Grandpa, do you mean Laura is lying?" Hearing Russell's words, Clara was both a little shocked and puzzled. "But why does she lie?"

"I'm not very sure because we haven't seen the whole picture." Russell couldn't figure this out either. "But Clara, I've never liked Laura. I have thought she was too shrewd since she was a child. Then you'd better be careful when you get along with her."

"Well, I see, grandpa." Clara seriously answered.

After finishing the meal and leaving the restaurant, Clara found it increasingly strange on the way home. According to Russell, there was no doubt that it was Laura who lied. What she said in the Hutchinson family couldn't hold water at all.
