Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister
Chapter 165 Ashlee Was Taken Away

The nanny of the Middleton's family tried to shout aloud to stop them, but she was in turn forced to the corner.

They asked her the whereabouts of Ashlee Middleton and the nanny had no choice but to point at the bedroom upstairs.

Then they rushed into the room and took Ashlee away violent.

Glenn and Valerie were pushed away by them and they tried to scream and fight back. But the two used to live an extravagant life could by no means beat the well-trained hatchet men. Then Ashlee was taken away while screaming.

Meanwhile, Clara had just woke up.

She had a nice dream last night and now as she woke up, she felt quite energetic.

Horace had been waiting for her in the dining room. Clara came into the room and sat down with a smile on her face.

Horace said in a low voice, "You seem to get better now."

Clara swallowed a mouthful of coffee and said, "I'm myself again. I don't care what others will say. I just want you to trust me."

Horace looked at her with a faint smile on face and said, "I've asked GLAM for a leave for you. I want to take you somewhere else."

Clara was quite confused. She was wondering where Horace would take her. With all those rumors and troubles out there, she didn't want to create trouble for Horace.

"I don't wanna go," Clara said.

But Horace knew what Clara had in mind and said, "You must go. Don't bother, it's not a press conference or something like that."

Clara frowned and was all the more confused. But she had no choice but to after having the meal.

Until now Clara hadn't checked her phone and that's why she didn't know what happened online. Now Ashlee had become the culprit to blame.

Horace drove Clara to a desolated freezer room, in which different kinds of junk was cast here and there in a messy way. Clara couldn't help but shivered all over as she came into the house. Horace noticed that and asked, "Do you feel cold? You can take on my coat."

"No. You'll catch cold."

"Just take it on."

Clara nodded and took the coat. She felt much warmer now.

They opened the door and saw Ashlee was lying on the floor, tied up with her mouth covered by tape, her hair disheveled.

Clara was taken aback by what she saw," Horace, what happened to Ashlee?"

Ashlee couldn't say anything. She just stared at Horace and Clara with fear in eyes.

Horace sneered and before he could say anything, someone break into the house.

It was Darren and Valerie who rushed in out of breath. Seemingly it took them a lot of efforts to here.

Clara was all the more shocked. Ashlee was kidnapped? Even Valerie was here.

What happened?

Horace was quite surprised that they would break in. But soon he knew why they were here.

After Ashlee was taken away, Darren and Valerie must have known it was Horace who hired those hatchet men. To know her whereabouts, they must have followed Horace here.

If they thought they could change anything with their presence here, they were wrong.

Horace sneered and remained silent.

And now Valerie's face had been covered all over with tears. She kneeled before Horace and cried, "Please, Mr. Kirkland, please, let Ashlee go. If you want to revenge, you can take my life. Please, let her go, I beg you, Mr. Kirkland."

Clara couldn't believe what she saw. Valerie, who really cared about her dignity and never allowed anyone to replace fault with her, was now kneeling on the ground to beg Horace.

Valerie saw Clara who was standing beside Horace and she then turned to her.

Clara was scared by her move and hid herself behind Horace.

Valerie still said while sobbing, "Ashlee is still your own younger sister despite the things she did. Please, forgive her. I'll apologize. She must be innocent. There must be some misunderstanding between you..."

"Misunderstanding? How could you say that now?" Isaac scolded as he couldn't stand that woman anymore.

Clara was still confused. She couldn't figure it out what Ashlee did to irritate Horace. Was that related to her?

Ashlee tried to struggle while sobbing. But what she could do with her body tied up tightly by the rope was only to mumble unclearly.

Darren couldn't help but sympathize with Ashlee as he saw how poor she was right now.

He walked over to Horace and said, "Please, for my sake, let her go. She is still pregnant. I can do anything to make up for her mistake."

His words again aroused Horace's rage.

He said in a contemptuous way, "Just look how selfish you are, Darren! I think you know exactly what she did, don't you? And now you want me to let her go? Don't forget that you're also a victim of that incident."

Darren's face turned pale.

Yes, he did loathe Ashlee. But what could he do after he knew she had his baby? He didn't have a choice right now. It was his baby after all.

Darren said with a pale face, "But remember she is pregnant. Just let her go. What had happened had already happened. Clara is alright now, isn't she?"

Now Clara finally understood that what happened here was actually related to her. But she remembered that she had made it clear with them that they wouldn't get involved with each other anymore. They were all saying that Ashlee had done something unforgivable. What had she done?

Clara was still wondering something else. It had never occurred to her that it was related to what happened to her two years ago.

So, she asked Horace, "What did Ashlee do, Horace?"

Horace looked at Ashlee then at Clara before he said, "It was Ashlee Middleton who set you up two years ago."

Ashlee Middleton?

Clara couldn't believe her ears. All the things she suffered these years, the unfairness, the rumors, were all thanks to her younger daughter. And she could still remember how she was almost raped and how Darren broke up with her.

She felt as if she was struck by a lightning.

Isaac explained, "I've done some investigation. Two years ago, it was Ashlee who hired someone to drug you; it was Ashlee who hired the man to rape you and take those photos. She even spread those photos and sent the photos to Darren. The rumors were all created by her."

Clara stared at Ashlee on the floor and saw how she looked at her maliciously. Now she finally believed what Isaac told her.
