Chapter 8 Steve Lane, You Really Are Ruthless
Just as the car was about to hit her, a person yanked her aside.
The car drove past them and soon disappeared.
“Ms. Rowan, it’s not worth it to seek death because of a man.” The one who had saved her was the
driver Donny, “If you leave, who will take care of your grandmother?”
The dazed Clara came back to her senses, yes, what would grandma do if she left?
Soon, a car drove by. Donny opened the back door and asked her to get in. “My boss wants to see you. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
He can give you anything you need.”
“He can give me what I want, but what can I give him back?” Clara laughed miserably.
She was not stupid. She didn’t think that the man had unintentionally claimed her innocence and would
unconditionally help her all the time.
She was now notorious and had nothing.
She hugged her arms and whispered, “Thank you for saving me and thank your boss. However, I don’t
want to lose the last bit of dignity I have.”
Seeing her reaction, Donny passed her a business card “Ms. Rowan, this is my phone number. If you
need it, you can call me.”
“Okay.” Then taking the business card, she turned around and left.
Donny returned to Preston Village, and when he saw Ethan Preston, he passed on Clara’s original
words and added, “Sir, that car was heading directly towards Ms. Rowan.”
Ethan’s eyes sank. “Check it out and send someone to keep an eye on her safety.”
That woman’s dignity should be worn down.
............
Clara Rowan went to the hospital.
Grandma had been lying in the hospital ever since her last cardiac arrest and had soon been able to
remove her breathing mask.
Although she couldn’t get out of bed, her mental state was much better.
“Grandma.” Clara forced a smile and walked into the ward, “How is your health?”
“I’m much better.” When grandma saw her like that, she knew she had been crying. She at once
frowned, “You went to find Steve Lane. Did he bully you?”
Clara shook her head and came over to hold her hand: “No, I’m just very worried about you. Grandma,
you must get better.”
Perhaps her acting was too good. In any case, grandma didn’t have any suspicions. “Clara, find an
opportunity to divorce Steve Lane. That man is a an ungrateful soul. Don’t expect someone who seized
the company like that to treat you well!”
“Okay......”
Grandma still didn’t know that she had already been tricked by Steve Lane and left with nothing, nor
that she learned the truth about her parents’ death.............
These days, she spent time with her grandmother in the hospital, looking for a chance to break the TV
in the ward. She didn’t want her grandmother to watch the news and had prohibited the medical staff
from bringing newspapers in.
Seeing that her grandma was recovering, She gradually started to smile again. She felt like she was
still alive.
On this day, her maid called her, “Miss, a lot of people came to the house moving things around......”
The maid didn’t finish the sentence before the phone was cut off.
Clara got into a car and hurried to Rowan House. The villa was in a mess, and several men were
packing up expensive antique calligraphy pieces and paintings.
People looking for things on the second floor were throwing everything they didn’t want downstairs.
Soon two spirit tablets were thrown down.
She pounced forward, but she was still a step too late. The spirit tablets of her parents cracked on
impact.
Holding the spirit tablets in her arms, she looked up at the workers, her eyes red and full of poison.
“Aren’t you afraid of being punished by the heavens for ruining other people’s spirit tablets?”
“Our employer told us to do as we please with the things he didn’t want.” However, they were scared by
her and quickly left.
“Mom, dad, sorry......” She wiped the dirt off as her tears dripped down on it. Her teeth chattered as she
spoke.
Steve Lane, you are really cruel. You killed my parents and didn’t even leave their spirit tablets
unscathed!
