Was he referring to her all these while? The young lady thought to herself. “I just wanted to take a stroll,” Clara answered her. She wasn’t so audible and only Alex knew what her predicament was. “Alright then, let’s stroll together.” Alex came down from his car and ordered his driver to continue and take the car home. The other young lady was very shocked.

"Please, give me more time. I don't have a job and I will need to calculate and raise such an amount of money.” Clara tried to plead with Elizabeth because one week was a short period for the amount they were talking about. “There is no extra time, Clara.” After that reply, Elizabeth left her in the middle of nowhere and disappeared. Recollecting herself, Clara reassured herself that whenever it came to her mum, she would do whatever it was to give her a good burial. When Clara got home that day, Alex was already home. He had been waiting for her and wondered where she went. “Did you take a stroll?” There was a bit of delay in Clara’s reply. She had been warned not to tell Alex anything if not her mum’s corpse would be thrown. “No.” she gently replied, shaking her head and avoiding eye contact. Alex waited for her to say something else, where she was coming from or what she went to do, but Clara remained mute. He let that slide and gave her brief details about his day in the o

Clara was devastated hearing what the credit union had to say. How on earth did her mum borrow such an amount of money without telling her? What did her mother use the money for?She couldn't place all that or get the answers to her question. The bills are too much and she doesn't know what to do.“Miss, are you still there?”“Oh, yes, you were saying?”They repeated the statement they made earlier even though Clara had gotten that in the first place.“When should we be expecting it, Miss?”“Soon.” Clara gathered the courage to mumble that. That way she would escape giving them a certain duration. She doesn't even know how soon that will be.After the call disconnected. Clara breathed out, she was lucky to still be in this hideout of hers and was going to her room upstairs.“Soon?” Alex's voice frightened her.Clara was startled for a few seconds. She itched her hair, she didn't expect anyone to hear her or for Alex to be back by this time.“Were you eavesdropping?” She replied, fakin

Henry was carried away by Annie’s perfect body. His hands were beginning to rise and he found himself smiling back at her alluring smile,That reaction alone gave Annie more confidence as she made some more seductive moves.Suddenly, it seemed Henry was able to control himself. He held her wrist from unbuttoning more, “It’s enough.”His voice didn’t sound convincing like that was indeed what he wanted but he said it anyway. “If you don’t leave now, I will call the security.”That had gotten Annie shocked, was he rejecting her right now? His first tone didn’t sound convincing, but the second, he actually wanted her out.She was still going to maintain her elegance instead of having Henry call security, so she stopped. “Have a nice day, CEO Henry.

Alex exhaled. All he had been taking note of, was his wife's facial expression. She seemed to be in dire need of the money. “If I give you fifty million, is that going to solve everything?” Alex queried her. He wanted her to sort out whatever the problem was once and for all.Even though Clara knew that wouldn't be all. She needed to say yes. Once Elizabeth is settled and she buries her mum, she will find a way to pay back the credit union.“Yes,” she mumbled softly. She couldn't believe Alex was about to give her another fifty million making it a hundred.“Alright. You will have it first thing tomorrow morning, so no need to get a job then right?” Clara knew the question was a trap, so she slightly nodded her head.From there, they went to see some movies together and kept each other company.Selene had told Elizabeth regardless that she was going to meet Annie.

This time, her mind was blank, no ideas, no plans, nothing.All she wanted was to get home and lay her head on the bed, she needed rest.In the car, while Elizabeth and Selene were on their way. Selene felt a bit of pity for Clara.“Mum, we should have collected it and let her bury her mum. What if she involves Young Master now?”“She dares not, I'm sure she lied to him to get the money, if she does, she would be at risk too for lying.”With that reply, Selene breathed out showing she was satisfied with the answer. Why should she even feel pity for Clara at all when it was her position that Clara was occupying? She is meant to be Alex’s wife.Henry Brown was walking up and down his office. He has been feeling guilty and restless. His assistant has been able to give him a brief history of Clara.However, he still can't connect the dots.

The driver came inside with an umbrella. Alex chose to hold that for his wife and led her to the car.Clara was feeling a little embarrassed. Those servants were something else.When they arrived at the restaurant, Alex opened the door for her and led her in like a queen.

What would have happened to our family’s image?” Mrs. Peters calmly questioned her son.Jane hadn't said a word, she was just so happy that everything was working in her favor. So she continued to act naive.“Mrs. Peters, you don't have to blame Alex, I guess he didn't want you to be hurt.” Jane feigned and Mrs. Peters replied to her.“And what about now? Do you know how hurt I am now?”“I’m sorry, mum. It's okay.” Jane embraced Mrs. Peters and that calmed her down a bit.“Son, your father must not know of this. This should be between the three of us.
