Speed Candles

Chapter 20 Unexpectedly

Norah’s words made Emily taken by surprise. She had made many efforts to investigate everything

about the Clark family and even their ancestors.

But Emily heard nothing about the fact that Sebastian was an illegitimate child.

Emily was scared out of her wits.

“I know what you want to ask. Sebastian is a child of my blood.”

She suddenly had a bold and arrogant conjecture that Norah had already been pregnant before she

married into the Clark family, just like her now.

Emily moved her legs which had been insensible. Then she feigned to ask unconcernedly, “Since we

have suffered mutual sympathy, Mrs. Clark, why don’t you help me now…”

She still wanted to say something else, but Norah stopped her, and then said arrogantly, “Miss Morris, I

think you misunderstood me. The reason why I told you that is to let you give up before the impossible,

not to let you keep doing this.”

“Sebastian has always taken his identity to heart. Of course, he also knows that I made use of

disgraceful means to marry into the Clark family back then. He will never allow his child to be the same

too.”

Norah’s tone was not polite at all. Her eyes were full of contempt and arrogance when she spoke.

When Emily first met her, she only felt that she was quite different from normal women. But now, she

even thought this woman was perfect.

A woman who could uncover her most painful memories was not likely to care about her little tricks.

She knew very well what Emily was planning to do.

Norah glanced at her. She sneered and took out a check from her handbag, and then said impatiently,

“I believe Sebastian has given you one chance, but you didn’t take that. You thought yourself clever

and I was good-natured, so you could turn the tables, but you didn’t expect me to turn the cold shoulder

to you.”

The rich and influential Clark family would give her a lot of money. Emily picked up the thin check to

take a look, and then put it down. She hadn’t added the number on it yet.

“Mrs. Clark is really generous.” She stopped and smiled.

Now the whole C City knew that she was a murderer, and had been in the prison for two years.

Everyone looked down on her.

If she couldn’t prove she was innocent, her father couldn’t die in peace. Then she could only disguise

herself, have the jitters all day and live without dignity until her old age.

“Miss Morris, think it over. Going abroad with the money is much happier than marring into the Clark

family.” After saying that to her, Norah gently pushed the check on the table in front of her, and got up

to leave.

When she passed by Emily, she glanced at her and warned her, “Moreover, the Clark family won’t

accept a murderer. Do you think it’s very proud to ruin your sister’s marriage?”

“Mrs. Clark, you have the right to prevent me from marrying into the Clark family, but please don’t judge

me according to those gossips.”

Norah didn’t expect Emily to talk to her like this. She was not angry, “Whether you are innocent or

guilty, it’s impossible for you to enter the Clark family.”

She suppressed the bitterness in her heart, and remained obedient on the surface. Then she asked in

a roundabout way, “Did he hate you?”

“Of course. Everyone wants to live a decent life.”

What Norah said was concise and comprehensive.

In the meeting room at Seaview Properties.

Sebastian had just finished a three-hour emergency meeting. Hope waited outside for more than an

hour, and then came in when everyone was out.

“Mr. Clark, Miss Morris went to meet Mrs. Clark. When Mrs. Clark came out, she didn’t look well.”

“Damn it.” He was so angry that he even clenched his fist and hit on the conference table, “Haven’t I

told you to send someone to follow her all the day? What’s going on?”

Hope pouted her lips and said, “Mr. Clark, you said that we can’t let others know it’s you who send

them. They were detained by security personnel when they arrived at K Restaurant.”

“Take her to the hospital when you are free.” Sebastian raised his head to look at her and stopped

gritting his teeth.

Hope gasped with surprise at his words, “Mr. Clark, but…”

“What?” His eyes sparkled with rage, “You do not want to go or you are not capable?”

Hope graduated from a famous university. In the first round of interview, Sebastian chose her to be his

assistant. In the past five years, she had never let him down. No matter how difficult the work was, she

could handle it easily.

“Mr. Clark, I have no experience in this field!”

Sebastian looked sideways at her and said, “You will also give birth to a child in the future. You can

learn it in advance.”

When it came to this point, Hope thought she would lose her job if she wasn’t willing to. So, she went

out in a sullen face.

Sebastian leaned in the sofa, closed his eyes, and rubbed his forehead. Recently, he had been busy

with his work and private affairs all day. Those who didn’t know what happened would think that he was

lustful and tired of having fun every day.

After a while, a person pressed her hands on his temple gently. Her force was light and soft, which

almost made him put down his guard.

Recently, he had been in contact with only one woman, and others could not have the guts to come on

here.

He still had his eyes closed and spoke in a deep voice, “Emily, you are really brazenfaced.”

But before he finished, a woman’s sharp voice sounded, “Sebastian, who did you ask to learn in

advance?”

Sebastian quickly opened his eyes. The woman in front of him was Fiona, staring at himself with a

smug smile.

“Fiona, when did you come back?”

Fiona was born after Norah married into the Clark family. They got along well with each other since

they were children. But when she was in college, Norah thought their grandfather and grandmother,

who had been abroad all the year round, were lonely, so she asked Fiona to go abroad to study. So,

she could have more time to stay with them.

She wrapped her hands around Sebastian’s neck, staring at him and asked, “Sebastian, who is Emily?

Your new girlfriend? Is she a celebrity or a young model?”

“You little girl, don’t make a wild guess.” He reached out his hand and gently pinched her face.

She looked at Sebastian and complaint, “Mom said you haven’t been home for a long time. Did you

have a quarrel?”

“Does she let you come as a persuader?”

“No, I’m not even bothered about our family matters. I’ve been listening to you since I was a kid,

haven’t I?” Fiona said gently, “I won’t run against you!”

“Let me treat you to a dinner. You call the restaurant, just like before.”

“No way. I have a date with someone today.”

“A boy or girl?” Sebastian raised his eyebrows and wondered who was more important than him.

“None of your business. So far no one has dared to kidnap your sister.” Fiona got up and left. When

she got to the door, she snapped her finger and said, “By the way, take me to meet Emily when you

have time off.”
