Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 144

At this moment, Glenn and Valerie were still talking about the cruel reality in front of Clara.

At this time, the so-called kindness they had given her before became a bargaining chip to persuade Horace to let go of them.

Valerie said, "When you were a child, I gave you a fancy skirt which had Ashlee had just bought for a month, and we gave you when it was almost brand-new. Also, once we were given some delicious crabs, and I gave you two to eat. Don't you remember? We've been kind to you! But you're so vicious!"

Skirt? Clara remembered that Ashlee gave it to her because she thought it looked ugly. As for the crabs, they allowed her to eat that right before the crabs went bad because they couldn't finish them all. She had diarrhea for several days after eating the bad meat.

This was their kindness. Now, she was asked to repay them.

Clara said, "I regret wearing that dress, eating your crabs, and being a member of your family. Don't say any more. What's the point of saying this? As long as I pay off your kindness, will you be able to let my mother and me go, let us live happily?"

Valerie thought to herself. "Humph, that would be so easy for you!"

Clara felt very sad when she thought of her childhood.

When she was a child, she and her mother depended on each other. Helena often had to work several jobs. She was very tired and busy, always sleeping very late at night.

At that time, Helena went out early and came back late. She didn't have time to take care of the little Clara, so she had to entrust Clara to Glenn and his family to look after her for the time being.

Helena told Clara to be obedient and not to cause trouble when she lived with them.

During ordinary times, Helena loved her daughter and tried not to let Clara do too much housework.

However, in the Middleton family, Valerie asked the nanny to do other things, forcing Clara to do much housework to torture her, such as washing dishes, sweeping the floor, cleaning the room, and weeding the garden. Clara, who was young and sensible, could only bear it silently.

At night, she secretly cried in the quilt and dared not tell Helena that she did not want her mother to be distracted by her.

Clara still remembered that Glenn was busy at work, but Valerie often took young Ashlee to travel, and Clara would follow them.

Helena thought that was good for Clara to see more and broaden her horizon, which was better than working and bearing hardships with her. She agreed to let Clara travel with them.

Helena said, "I can't give you so much, so I can only rely on the Middleton family. I'm not a person without dignity. I don't want you to become an ignorant child with me. I hope you will be promising and self-reliant in the future."

So Clara was very strong when she was young. Although she looked soft and weak she was very stubborn, and she didn't want to rely on anyone.

However, Helena did not expect Valerie, who pretended to take her, didn't allow her to play, to go so far when they traveled.

Valerie bought ice cream for Ashlee, but said to Clara, "Go and take out the umbrella in your bag and hold it for Ashlee. Look my baby daughter is basking in the sun."

Clara didn't want to go.

Valerie said, "Your younger sister is sweating. You little bitch is unwilling to take an umbrella! Do you know how to be an elder sister?"

Clara was severely scolded. Every time, she could only follow them like a valet, sitting there alone, watching Ashlee play and laugh happily.

Valerie was still there talking to her.

"Hear what you said. Clara, we have been good to you. Is that how you repay us? Has your heart been eaten by the dog! In addition, we also paid for your college expenses! Otherwise, will you be like this today? You can't be ingratitude, can you..."
