Chapter 10 The Official Declaration of War
When she woke up the next morning, Clayton was gone as usual, and Flora sat up propped up in bed, feeling nothing but aches and pains all over her body.
When she went downstairs, she only saw Blair eating gracefully at the table, and no Clayton.
“You’re awake Flora? Clayton went to the office, Jayson is not here today, I prepared the breakfast, but I don’t know if it is to your liking.” Blair smiled.
Flora was unbelievable, she slowly walked across to Blair and sat down, coldly said. “Blair, no one else is home right now, who are you acting for?”
Blair smiled indifferently, picked up the milk and took a sip, saying. “If you wear the mask for a long time, you can’t take it off.”
Her eyes darkened as she swept over Flora’s collarbone, where there were visible red marks, and it was obvious what had happened last night.
Flora noticed Blair’s gaze and uncomfortably pulled at her collar, the image of last night’s humiliation instantly entered her mind and her face flushed.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“What did you say to Clayton last night?” Flora asked in a cold voice.
“Nothing,” Blair shrugged, “just made up a reason for you to marry Clayton, and you wouldn’t talk about it anyway.”
Flora looked at her angrily. “Don’t you go too far!”
Blairs grip on her cup tightened as she put away her polite smile and said in a deep voice. “You know that Clayton is fond of me, and sooner or later the position of Mrs Ward will be mine if I want it.”
Flora did not retort, she looked at this familiar face but felt particularly strange.
“Why did you come back? Where is Daniel?”
The name Daniel was mentioned, Blair’s gaze instantly became cold. “Do you have to reveal my scars? You know Daniel doesn’t like me, he’s just a cheater who plays with feelings.”
“Then why did you go back? What do you think would happen to him if he knew that he was always the backup in your eyes?” Flora asked, looking directly at Blair.
She had left herself a way out three years ago, and she was the victim of her way out.
Blair bowed her head and twirled her glass, and when she looked up again her gaze had returned to coldness. She said. “How do you know I don’t like Clayton now, when you wouldn’t have a chance to marry him if you had to choose again? But you should like Clayton very much, it’s a pity he hates you!”
Flora pursed her lips tightly, although it was not a secret, but it still hurt her heart to be nakedly told.
“Anyway, I will step by step take back all the things that originally belong to me, and I will make you lose badly.” Blair looked at Flora provocatively.
Flora got up with a start, she couldn’t believe that the woman in front of her, with her vicious words, was the same Blair who was willing to fight for her as a child.
“Take it easy,” Blair smiled breezily, “I won’t let you lose too badly.”
She wiped the corner of her mouth gracefully and said. “I’m full, help yourself.” She got up and walked upstairs.
Flora fell back to her chair, when her phone rang suddenly, and the caller was Theo.
“You’re back?” Flora picked up the phone and asked breathlessly, Theo went abroad half a month ago to participate in a research project, but did not expect to come back so quickly.
Theo, however, did not have time to exchange pleasantries with her, and said anxiously. “Flora you quickly come to the hospital! Grandma she … she’s in bad shape.”
