Clarence blushed a little as he pretended like he had not heard her. “Did you say something, Cecilia?”

“I said, why didn’t you just do me?” Cecilia raised her voice.

?

“Tsk—!”

Clarence stepped on the brake, almost choking in disbelief.

“Drive carefully.” Cecilia rolled her eyes at him.

Was she trying to act coy?

“Cough cough.”

Clarence looked so lost and helpless. He restarted the Ferrari and continued his drive once more.

Cecilia then suddenly asked him, “Lil Bro, do you want to hear my story?”

“Tell me, Cecilia, I’m listening.” Clarence nodded.

Cecilia then began telling Clarence her story.

She had met Chadwick while they were both in university. Cecilia had been one of the members of the university’s student council.

Chadwick was from a poor family. They met each other during a student union event, and that was when Chadwick then began his crazy pursuit for her. He chased after her for almost a whole year. His persistence and relentless effort finally moved Cecilia, so Chadwick managed to earn and keep this beauty to himself.

They married after graduating, and their relationship became a hot topic all across their ex-campus.

Chadwick naturally became the son-in-law to the Wonder Group’s chairman after his marriage, so he delved into real estate.

However, the man went crazy the moment he got rich. When Cecilia found out that he was cheating on her, the two of them argued about getting a divorce.

She would never have expected that Chadwick would actually kick up such a ruckus just because he wanted a share of her family’s riches.

Thankfully, Clarence was the man that Chadwick chose to drug. Had it been another man, then what would he have done to Cecelia?

After she finished her story, Cecilia looked at Clarence and asked, “Lil Bro, what about you? What’s your story?”

Clarence sighed and replied, “I’ve been an orphan since I was a young boy. I grew up in an orphanage, and one day, I managed to save Miranda’s grandpa from a car accident.

“A few minutes later, the car exploded… so it could be said that I saved his life.

“Before he died, he wanted us to marry each other, so that’s how I became the son-in-law of the Murphy family.

“I was mocked and humiliated by the entire Murphy family for three whole years after my marriage. I thought that it might end one day if I just tolerated it.

“However, Miranda and her first love have now gotten back together again, and he even proposed to her right in front of me.”

Clarence laughed bitterly.

Cecilia’s eyes softened a little. She extended her soft and supple hand to hold Clarence’s, their fingers interlocking.

Clarence suddenly felt a weird feeling swell up in his heart.

“Lil Bro, why don’t you just divorce her and come live with me? I’ll have to get divorced too, sooner or later.”

Cecilia sounded half-serious about it. Clarence wanted to tread lightly.

Clarence said awkwardly, “Cecilia, I see you as my sister, truly.”

“Is that so?”

Cecilia did not believe him. She pouted and said, “Men are the biggest liars.

“If I’m like a sister to you, then why did you do those things to me while we were in the suite?”

“Ahem, wasn’t I drugged back then?” Clarence quickly countered.

Just then, they came to a stop just outside Cecilia’s mansion.

Cecilia continued, “Lil Bro, why don’t you come stay with me… We can finish what we started earlier, hm?”

Clarence knew that she was deliberately teasing him.

He decided to play along and grabbed a hold of her arm, eyes scanning her body. Her shirt was torn in a few places, revealing her snow-white skin underneath.

“Alright then, Cecilia. I guess I’m still feeling a little warm, so I need to release some steam,” Clarence laughed teasingly.

“Darn you.”

Cecilia chided him playfully and lightly smacked him on the head. “Quiet, my period hasn’t finished just yet.”

Clarence chuckled and swiftly got out of the Lamborghini.

Cecilia looked at Clarence’s back and curved her lips into a smoldering smile as her eyes twinkled. ‘You’re really naughty, aren’t you!’

Clarence left Cecilia’s area and hailed a cab.

When he arrived home, it was already dark.

Clarence walked into the mansion and turned on the lights. Suddenly, he saw Miranda was sitting on the sofa.

“You’re home.”

“Why didn’t you turn on the lights? It’s dark outside.” Clarence frowned.

Miranda was pale and her eyes were bloodshot. It looked like she had just cried. “I couldn’t find you anywhere and your phone was off.

“I waited for you here, but I didn’t realize that it was already nighttime. I forgot to turn the lights on.”

“Okay... why did you wait for me, though?”

Clarence’s voice was colder than ever. “Someone proposed to you today, so now you’re here to ask me for a divorce?”

Miranda explained, “Clarence, it really isn’t what you think it is. I didn’t tell you that I was going to see Sheldon because I was afraid you might overthink things.

“I went to see him just to ask him not to harass me anymore.

“I really don’t know why he suddenly took out a diamond ring and proposed to me!”

Clarence was slightly moved. Had he really misunderstood her this whole time?

Clarence knew Miranda was a prideful woman, so he believed that she would never lie about something like this.

Besides, if she really wanted to be with Sheldon, then she could simply divorce Clarence. Why would she bother lying to him if that was the case?

“Really?”

Clarence looked at the woman suspiciously.

Miranda nodded. “It’s true, please believe me.”

Clarence breathed a sigh of relief. “Alright then, I believe you.”

Miranda relaxed too. The big misunderstanding was finally resolved.

At that very moment, Miranda’s phone rang.

“Miranda, come to the hospital right now! Mom got into an accident.” On the other side of the line was Belle’s anxious voice.

“What? Mom was hit by a car?!” Miranda’s body shuddered in deep distress. “What happened?”

Just then, Clarence’s phone rang as well.

“Master Howard, please save me!

“I have to admit defeat this time! I was beating that guy up in the Sheraton alongside Jeremy, and they caught me. They’re about to finish me off!” Johnson was begging for help.

Clarence frowned and asked, “What’s going on? Who’s going to kill you?”

Johnson explained, “I don’t know him either, but he’s an old man from Beth City, and he’s at the Hayes’ residence right now.

“Jeremy has his family to support him, but I have nothing!

“Master Howard, please come over and save me. You just saved Old Master Hayes, surely you can help get me out of this.”
