On the other side, Ashlee turned back into the living room. Glenn was sitting on the sofa with Valerie in his arms. The two were devastated.
Glenn said, "I'm always careful in business. I always greet each other with a smiling face and am good at getting along with others. I never incur hatred with others. Who is going to ruin us this time? I can't figure it out. I'm useless."
Ashlee returned with a grim-looking and sat there without saying a word, even ignoring Darren.
Glenn saw that her daughter's face was wrong and asked, "Ashlee, what are you thinking? Is something wrong?"
Ashlee looked at Glenn, wondering whether to tell her father or not. She didn't want to raise Clara's identity in front of her father!
However, at this critical moment, she couldn't think too much.
She said, "Dad, maybe it's not you, but I that have offended someone."
"You?" Glenn saw there was wrong and asked, "Ashlee, do you know anything? Have you offended someone? Who?"
Glenn thought it was normal for Ashlee to offend many people because she was so arrogant, unruly, and willful.
But who had she offended? Can he have so much power that even Darren was at a loss what to do for a moment?
Ashlee thought it was very serious. If she didn't tell the reason, she was afraid she couldn't take on Horace by herself.
She said, "If I was correct, it was Horace, the president of Solace, who was the uncle of Darren, the second young master in the Kirkland family. "
Horace! The famous Horace! Ruthless and powerful Horace!
Glenn and Valerie were shocked after hearing the name Horace!
Horace's work style had always been quick and efficient. His ability and IQ were amazing. He would do what he said, which often made other companies afraid. If they didn't pay attention, they will fail and never have the chance to win.
Horace was worth billions and had a large number of companies and real estate. In terms of financial power alone, the Middleton family was no match for Horace.
Valerie didn't understand why Horace, who was so superior, had no business relationship with their family and was the uncle of her son-in-law, had to disrupt the Middleton family's company?
Glenn found it incredible.
Valerie asked, "Daughter, how did you offend Horace? Isn't he Darren's uncle, as well as yours?"
The face of their family mattered little, but their business mattered much. Ashlee had to tell the whole story.
Ashlee said, "If it weren't the little bitch Clara, would I have offended someone like Horace? She caused all this. Therefore, the crisis must have something to do with her!"
Darren was speechless.
Ashlee was right. Darren was also suspecting Horace's involvement, which was plausible.
The reason that Horace wanted to break the Middleton family was to protect Clara from being hurt.
It was Ashlee's action that angered Horace and made him do this.
If it was Darren who experienced the same as Horace, he might have done something more ruthless than Horace for the sake of Clara.
Valerie couldn't understand it.
