Chapter 479 âMr. Jefferson, if thatâs the case, wonât everything weâve done be exposed?â Baileyâs voice trembled with fear.
Theyâd always known Clara wasnât really the Ramoz familyâs heiress. If Henry discovered she was an impostor, all their efforts would have been for nothing Conner was aware his decision to expose Claraâs identity could lead to mutual destruction, but he would never let Sergio have the last laugh.
With a cold tone, Conner said, âThereâs always a plan B. Whoâs to say I donât have a backup?â
âMr. Jefferson, are you saying that.â Bailey trailed off âGet the car ready. Weâre going to Ramoz Manor.â
âYes, Mr. Jefferson.â
The Jefferson familyâs car headed straight for Ramoz Manor. The guards at the gate saw Connerâs car approaching and quickly came forward to greet him The guard bowed respectfully and said, âMr. Jefferson, Iâm terribly sorry, but Mr. Ramoz isnât home today.â
From the back seat, Conner rolled down the window and asked, âWhere did Mr. Ramoz go?
The guard looked troubled, âWell weâre not exactly sure.â
âWhat about Nathalie?
âMs. Ramoz went out with Mr. Ramoz and hasnât returned yet.â
The guardâs expression revealed everything to Conner. From afar, Conner could see the lights on in Ramoz Manor Inside, Clara and Henry were there, with Sergio seated in the place of honor. The three of them seemed harmonious, like a family.
Conner sneered Everyone had been in it for their own gain. Even though Henry might have talked a big game about breaking ties with the Brook family, he lacked the backbone to follow through And now that Sergio had proposed to marry Clara, Henry was more than happy to follow Sergioâs lead.
âBailey, letâs go.â
âYes, Mr. Jefferson.â
As Bailey turned the car around, he couldnât help but say, âMr. Jefferson, Mr. Rano is too much. Youâve done so much for the Ramoz family all these years.
âYouâve put in a genuine effort to help him find his daughter, and now that be has Sergioâs support, he just forgets about you.â
âThatâs just human natureâ
âBut without Mr. Ramazâs support, we...!
âThatâs enough.â Conner rabbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. He hadnât expected Sergio to accept someone like Clara just for Maeve.
âHowâs Nathalieâs doing now?
âMs. Ramoz is being well taken care of at our villa in the suburbs. Sheâs quite obedient, unlike Claraâ
âGood. Drive to the suburbs now and bring her back.â
âNow Halley glanced at the darkening sky. âIsnât it a bit too late?â
set now!â Conner demanded.
