My Love, Enlighten me

Chapter 70 Courage to Die

Gloria Taylor continued to cut the tomatoes and beef. She was about to make two bowls of tomato beef noodles.

When she was cutting the beef, Kenny Clarke stood by, he didn’t budge. After a while, he said in an odd tone, “You cut slowly.”

Said a man who never cooked, she thought.

Gloria Taylor cut the beef faster. After putting the beef slices on the plate, she turned to look at him at and said, “Get out of here. Don’t get in my way.”

People got lonely easily when the night was late. Kenny Clarke didn’t want to go to the dining table and waited for the dinner alone. He wanted to stay here watching Gloria Taylor cooking.

He made an excuse, “I want to stay here to watch you cook. What if you really poison me? I don’t want to die just yet.”

“I’m not stupid. If I kill you, they won’t let me live either. I’m very expensive. I worth three hundred million Yuan.” Gloria Taylor was only joking.

She blurted out carelessly, but apparently he took it seriously.

Kenny Clarke tried to defend himself, “It was the agreement of the elders of both sides of the family. Cousin disagreed.”

“I don’t blame him. What are you nervous about?” Gloria Taylor looked at him curiously, “I remembered the first day I came here you called Kenny a trash. Now, you’re speaking on his behalf. Do you have a good or a bad relationship with him?”

Leon Clarke asked, “What do you think?”

I thought that you were a shameless psycho.

But, Gloria Taylor dared not say that out loud.

Gloria Taylor served two bowls of noodles on the table.

Perhaps, because of the dead of the night that they put their guard down and chatted while having the midnight dinner.

However, most of the time, she was asking about Kenny Clarke and Leon Clarke would answer her with “Hm.”, “No.”, “I don’t know.” and, “Maybe.”

Gloria Taylor felt that this pair of brothers' good relationship must be fake.

***

The next morning, Gloria Taylor overslept.

She quickly washed and changed her clothes. Then, she ran out of the door.

She met Leon Clarke who seemed up.

He was the same person who got up in the middle of the night and had a bowl of noodle with her last night. Why did she oversleep and wake up depressed while he look so energetic?

He was probably made of steel.

Kenny Clarke frowned when he saw her in a bad mood, “You didn’t sleep well last night?”

Gloria Taylor felt that he was just showing off.

She checked the time and left, “I’m running late. I don’t have time to cook breakfast today.”

She hurried downstairs.

Kenny Clarke followed and grabbed her hand, “I’ll drive you.”

Gloria Taylor didn’t want him to drive her, but she might be late for the bus already.

In the end, Leon Clarke failed to drive her to the office because of a call. Before leaving, he asked his bodyguard to drive her.

***

Kenny Clarke went to a private tea house.

Leng Xu waited for him at the door. When he saw Kenny coming, he nodded slightly, “Young Master, Mister is waiting for you inside.”

Kenny Clarke walked inside the tea house.

Randy Clarke was sitting inside a private room and his face was heavy.

“You suddenly called me. What can I do for you?” Kenny Clarke sat down at the farthest seat from Randy Clarke. His tone was indifferent. He didn’t sound like talking to his own father.

Randy Clarke had long been accustomed to his attitude toward him, he just looked up and called Leng Xu, “Show him.”

Leng Xu took the tablet and handed it to him.

The screen showed a headline news released this morning.

‘Mrs. Clarke is suspected of being close to her husband’s cousin.’

The title was striking and seemingly obscure but very appealing.

Therefore, the number of readers on this news were particularly high.

He scrolled down to see that the news were mainly rumors of Kenny Clarke’s cousin and Gloria Taylor getting close.

There were also two supporting pictures attached. He and Gloria Taylor seemed warm and intimate. The background was a restaurant where Gloria Taylor and the Clarke had dinner yesterday.

“Explain this.” Randy Clarke said.

Kenny Clarke nodded, “The angle of the picture is not very good and the news is a little ambiguous.”

“Kenny!” Randy Clarke was so angry that he smashed the cup in front of him to the ground.

“Because of your mother, I have been holding back for so many years! You are young, so I turn a blind eye like I haven’t seen your attitude! You have become more and more hostile to me. This is your revenge for not bringing your mother back, isn’t it?”

Randy Clarke, the incumbent ruler of the Clarke family, naturally exuded a powerful and shard momentum.

Leng Xu took a step back.

However, Kenny Clark didn’t budge. He looked at Randy Clarke with a heavy face and with a sarcastic tone he said, “What are you talking about? My mother died in the hands of her kidnapper. It has nothing to do with you. You don’t have to blame it on yourself.”

No one had to bear this responsibility until he found out the truth. After he found out, people connected to the case shall pray for their lives.

Randy Clarke looked at his son very carefully.

Because of his mother, Randy Clarke and Kenny Clarke had not been sitting together and talking for so many years.

Every time they met, the atmosphere got tense.

“Kenny, you’re a grown up now. You will take over the company later and you will have to reconcile with me. I have seen Gloria. She’s a kind-hearted young lady. If you don’t want to live with her, wait until the succession and you may divorce her.”

The Clarke was a big family. Many of his relatives were battling for the heir position. This time, Randy Clarke rushed Kenny Clarke to get married because most of the family members thought that Kenny Clarke was inhumane that he couldn’t inherit the company.

Since his mother died that year, Kenny Clarke had not been seeing anyone outside. Some of his relatives had never seen him again as well.

Randy Clarke even sent women to Kenny Clarke. He sent him the beautiful, brilliant, gentle, and intelligent ones, but Kenny Clarke didn’t touch them. So, they were sent out.

Randy Clarke had no choice but to have him married to shut the whole family up.

He knew that Kenny Clarke was in a perfect health. If Kenny Clarke was able to carry the pain all these years, he would also be able to carry the company.

“My relationship with Gloria Taylor has nothing to do with you. I advise you not to poke into this matter further if you don’t want to get hurt.” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Kenny Clarke thought that Gloria must have no idea about what happened today when she went to work.

He really underestimated Anne Taylor’s courage to die that she dared to take such pictures and sent them to the media.
