Chapter 413: Chapter 423

.

Chapter 423 The sky darkened as Clara sac in Conner’s home Restlessness gnawed at her after she watched the news, where she saw Sergio and Cecilia by Hailey’s side.

The media buzzed with speculation that Cecilia might replace Maeve as the next Mrs. Brooks.

dara glanced at her slightly protruding belly and cursed. “That old hag must be thinking of getting Cecilia to replace me in the Brooks family! No, I won’t allow it!”

Conner was beyond predictable. He was a lunatic!

She couldn’t stay with him any longer. If she wanted a future, she had to rely on Sergio.

Clara clenched her teeth in frustration. Just then, Conner came out from the bathroom, and Clara instinctively wanted to retreat But knowing she needed an escape plan, she cautiously approached Conner. “Conner, I haven’t been home in days. I miss Dad.

Can I-?

Conner sneered, “What are you plotting now?”

“How could I possibly do that? I just really want to go home.”

If you plan to tell Mr. Ramoz something like I mistreated you, don’t bother wasting your breath.”

Conner’s voice grew cold. “Your secrets are in my hands. If you dare utter a word, you’ll face the consequences.”

Clara masked her fear and continued, “Conner, you’ve got me wrong. I would never betray you. You know I’m at your mercy. If anything leaks, it’s my own demise.

“You know better.” Conner’s indifference was chilling as he changed his clothes.

To Conner, Clara was nothing more than a tool. If she disobeyed him, he could easily destroy her and get a replacement.

Clara bir her lip “Conner, may go back?”

“If you wish. But my people will be watching you. Don’t ever think about escaping, or else.” His voice trailed off aminously “I won’t! I’ll do whatever you say,” Clara hurriedly agreed.

Her top priority now was escaping from Conner. Once free, she could seek out Sergio, who she was certain would help her, or Halley, who wouldn’t abandon the Brooks family’s kin After sering Clara off, Conner’s secretary, Steve Kennedy, grew worried. “Mr. Jefferson, are you letting her leave just like that?”

“Don’t worry, she won’t say a word.” Conner’s tone was key. “She’s cunning Keepher in the dark about what’s next.”

“Understood Conner shot Steve a cold glance and asked, “Did you arrange everything with the Hackert Group?

“It’s set. We’ll meet with their trainees tomorrow morning.”

“Good,” Conner replied.

“But what about Ms. Scott? She’s also a trainee there. If we run into her..”

A few days ago, dara caused a car accident involving Bryce against Conner’s wishes. Maeve demanded five billion dollars, making them bitter enemies.
