Even when she berated him or when their arguments turned physical, it was a preferable torment compared to this current void where he couldn't see her or touch her.
His gaze darkened, and his voice grew huskier. “Clara, with your head always in the clouds, why don’t you try writing? I'm doing this for Anders’ father Trevor's sake, to throw sbusiness his son’s way-it’s got nothing to do with you. Besides, my great-uncle has already dropped hints to Grandma Rose. If | don’t step in and help, do you really think she'd let it slide? Don’t flatter yourself thinking this is all for you. You're not that irresistible.” Clara could detect a hint of scorn in his dismissive tone. She knew that the typically cold and ruthless lan, who didn’t spare much thought for family ties, always made an exception for Grandma Rose.
Her guard dropped a notch. “When would you be available?” she asked.

When Clara arrived at the golf club, lan had just finished a perfect swing. The ball hadn't even landed when Heidi dashed over to see where it would fall. Then, with excitement, she called out, “Brother, you lost, lan got a hole- in-one!” Edwin strolled over, a smile playing on his lips as he ruffled her hair affectionately. “Who's your actual brother here? Why are you so thrilled to seelose?” Heidi leaned into her brother's shoulder, her voice playful. “lan was once a world champion, brother. You're already amazing for keeping up with him. Don’t get discouraged, keep at it!” “Alright, chatterbox, you're good with words. Take a break while I have a word with lan.” =i 8 400 000 000 00 007 000 00 Heidi pouted and moved away from the two men, but as she turned around, she spotted Clara standing in the rest area. Her expression, previously warm, turned to ice.
She approached Clara rapidly, eyes cold. “What are you doing here?” Clara’s demeanor remained calm. “Business,” she said simply.
Heidi let out a mocking laugh. “Trying to secure a contract with the Hayes Corporation for Anders? Clara, | never realized you could be so shameless. How could lan, a man of such pride, ever want a woman who's been played out by others?” Clara looked at her unflinchingly, a cold smile tugging at her lips. “I may be ‘played out,” but not as much as you?” “What do you mean by that?” “You know very well what | mean, Ms. Heidi, don’t you? Or would you liketo spill about those messy affairs you had abroad three years ago?” At these words, Heidi sprang to her feet, fury blazing in her eyes. “You wouldn't dare!” “Whether | dare depends on your attitude. Do you think I'm unaware of who orchestrated my little trip to the rooftop on the anniversary celebration day? Do you really believe | can’t uncover who plotted to throw Anders andtogether?” 12:21 Chapter 110 Heidi laughed dismissively. “You have no proof. Even if you told lan, do you think he’d believe you? As long as we're together, he'll always trustover you!” Clara's eyes flashed with a fierce glint as she faced Heldi’s arrogance, Heidi was right. Between her and Heidi, lan would never choose her.
Clara couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. “Heidi, that drug was indeed a living hell for me, but I should thank the person who drugged me. If it weren't for that incident, | wouldn't have entered the legal field so quickly.
