Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister
Chapter 448 Why Didn't You Come to Me

Clara put down the phone and took a step backward, "Don't you try to fool us again, Laura. If you lie to us, I'll post those photos without hesitation."

Laura now even tried to kill Clara. But she had to follow her orders. Horace wasn't willing to believe her and Clara got the photos of her naked body. She had no choice but to tell them her role in the kidnap of Horace.

She lowered her head without making any eye contact with Horace and said with sobs, "My parents died and my brother and I became the only members of our family. I was a little girl so it was my older brother who dealt with the affairs of our company and our family."

"But my older brother was also young at that time and the board members of Hutchinson Corp looked down upon him. They tried hard to get my brother's shares and our relatives even helped them to bully my brother and me. They just wanted our money."

Laura said with hatred on her face, "Those snobs were eager to flatter us when we were still in power. My parents also treated them while in the past. But when we needed their help, they knew nothing but to push us down the abyss. Bastards!"

"It was a hard time for my older brother, Logan. He needed to deal with the company's affairs and meanwhile watch out for our relatives. But he had never complained to me. I still lived a luxurious life. I had no idea how hard we were at that time."

Tears began to trickle down her cheeks, "Logan loved me so much. He would give me whatever I wanted and he had never let me know what we were facing by then."

That's why she hated Clara so much. In Laura's mind, Clara stole not only her identity as the daughter of the Hutchinson's family but also the one who cared about her the most in this world, her only family, Logan. No one cared about Laura as much as Logan.

"But I found out about it anyways." Laura continued.

"One day, I had a quarrel with one of my classmates. We were lone-time enemies of each other, but as I was from the Hutchinson's family, she didn't have the audacity to curse me. But that day she even darec to say Hutchinson Corp was going bankrupt and that I would soon lose my position and wealth."

Laura could still remember how arrogant the girl was. Every time she thought of her face, Laura felt like tearing apart her ugly face!

"I flew into rage and went back to my home. I wanted to ask Logan what happened to our company. But when I got back home, I found Logan was saying something to someone in a supplicant way."

"Then out of curiosity I eavesdropped their conversation. The man was a big shareholder of Hutchinson Corp. Since my parents passed away, he didn't believe Logan was capable of running our company. So, he wanted to withdraw his money."

"Logan said a lot to him and promised that he would do his best to manage Hutchinson Corp. He would never harm the interests of the shareholders. But the man didn't seem to be convinced and he insisted that he would withdraw his money. He even asked my brother to pay him the so-called penalty."

"When he left, I saw Logan was sitting on the sofa alone and staring at my parent's photos. He murmured that he was sorry. He was sorry that he didn't protect Hutchinson Corp and his younger sister well." Tears trickled down her face and dropped down on the floor. She had lost in her memory. These days were the most unforgettable for Laura in her life.

"Logan was the most excellent boy in my world. I had never seen such a scene before. I was so scared. I realized we might lose our company." "That's why I determined to save our company no matter what I do. I would bring my family back to its heyday and I would save my own life."

Firmness could be seen in her eyes. She admitted that what she cared the most at that time was actually herself, not Logan or the Hutchinson's family. She was a star among her friends and she had always been living a princess-like life. She couldn't accept that she would lose all those things.

If Hutchinson Corp really went bankrupt, no one would curry favor with her anymore. She would be laughed at by those she used to look down upon.

Laura couldn't even imagine such a scene. No! She wouldn't let that happen. If that really happened, she would rather die.

Clara also felt sorry for Logan as she heard her words. It must be so hard for Logan to make it by himself.

During the years spent with him, Logan had always been standing before her to shoulder all the hardships. He had never let Clara to be wronged or to suffer.

But when he was not so powerful, no one was willing to stand on his side or to help the young Logan to make it.

Laura wiped her tears off her face and continued, "I had asked a lot of people without letting Logan know it. But they were either unable to help or unwilling to help. No one helped me.

"Then I knew the so-called friends of mine were nothing but bullshit. They acted like my besties when we were hanging out. But now when I was in crisis, no one lent me a hand. They were all trying to avoid me," Laura said with a sneer on her face.

"Why didn't you come to me at that time?" Horace asked. Clara looked at him instantly to replace that mixed feelings would be told from his eyes.

Clara pressed her hand on her chest as she felt as if she were suffocated.

Did Horace still care about Laura so much? Otherwise, why would he ask her that?
