Chapter 473 As night fell, Conner returned to the hospital ward after seeing Henry off. Clara lay on the bed with her eyes tightly shut, and her face was drained of color.
âDonât pretend to be asleep!â Conner snapped.
The next second, Conner grabbed Claraâs arm. The sharp pain jolted her eyes open, and she gasped. âIâI did everything you asked! Please, spare me!â Despite Clara bezzing for mercy, Connerâs eyes narrowed dangerously. âYou idiot! You ruined my perfect plan and now you have the audacity to ask for mercy?â Conner released her arm, and Claraâs face twisted in anguish.
âWhat do you mean? Iâve lost my child! Maeve pushed me down the stairs, and everyone saw it!â âYouâre such an idiot. Do you really think Maeve is as stupid as you? She had a backup plan. Now everyone knows you killed your own child just to frame her âMr. Ramoz is utterly disappointed in you, and Mrs. Brooks Senior wants y you dead! Youâve made too many enemies. Even if I spare you, they wonât!â
Clara felt her head spinning. She grabbed Connerâs arm and begged, âNo...no... please help me! Help me!â
Connerâs disdain was clear in his eyes. He gripped her jaw and spoke coldly, âWhy ask for my help? You should be begging Sergio I know youâve been contacting his men,â âI..â Clara had hoped the loss of their child would sway Sergioâs sympathy, but Maeve had outsmarted her and exposed her deceit on the spot.
What would Sergio have done if he found out she caused their childâs death?
Clara trembled uncontrollably. She couldnât let this happenânot after everything that had transpired.
âIt was you who threatened me, you Footsteps interrupted them clara quickly clung to Conner desperately. âPlease! I did everything you asked! Have mercy on me!
Please donât kill me!â Conner frowned, lifting his gaze to see Sergio standing outside the room. Instantly, he realized Clara was trying to blame him.
Sergioâs eyes were full of menace. Not wanting a direct confrontation, Conner coldly said, âSince Mr. Brooks is here, you two should have a chat.â
With that, Conner left the room He even paused to put on a gentle façade as he said to Clara, âNathalie, have a good talk with Mr. Brooks When everythingâs over, we can go homeâ
Clara bit her lip in frustration. Conner was clearly trying to make Sergio misunderstand their relationship.
Once Conner was gone, Clara looked at Sergio with tearful eyes. âSergio, I thought you werenât coming back.â
Sergio kept his distance. Clara had anticipated his indifference, but it still stung She sobbed softly. âSergio, let me explain what happened today-
âI didnât come to listen, Sergio interrupted coldly
