Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 95

Darren's face turned paler.

He knew Horace was a tough guy, but he had never expected him to be as tough as that.

Sean looked at his son with a harsh face, and said sternly, "Darren Kirkland, you just think I would never know that you got out of your way to protect that Clara was because you still like her?"

Darren's eyes grew round with shock.

His father had known about him and Clara?

He was stunned there for a moment before he calmed down and sniffed.

Yeah, he had left the home in rebellion, while his father had ostensibly said that he would just let him and sit by, but how could he possibly have done that to his only son?

During his four years in college, his every move had probably been under his watch.

"You already knew that?" said Darren coldly.

"Yes," answered Sean casually, "When Horace was getting married, I realized that the woman was your ex-girlfriend. But I don't care who she is, as long as she's Horace's woman, I won't spare her."

Darren's face was ashen as he sensed the man's murderous tone. He sprang over the desk and snarled, "You're never going to hurt Clara!"

Darren had expected his father to be annoyed by his threat, but he simply gave a sneering smile.

"All right, I promise you I won't take her life," he said slowly.

Darren then confused.

He didn't think he would really relent that easily, so he looked at him distrustfully, "You mean it?"

"Of course. When did I ever lie to you?" Sean then calmed down. "Because I have thought of a better way to deal with Horace."

With a half-incredulous look at him, Darren nodded. "OK, as long as Clara is fine, you can tackle him however you like."

Sean nodded and said, "You may leave now."

There Darren left.

Once he walked out, the assistant in the room came near the desk.

"Mr. Kirkland," said the assistant with a dull face and deep voice, "Are you really going to let her off?"

"Who told you that?" Sean said with an icy look.

The assistant froze in confusion. "But you just said—"

"I only said that I wouldn't take her life, but I never said that I would let her off." A scheming smile flashed across his face. "It's rare that Horace cared about someone so much, so it would be a waste to just kill her."

In fact, he had planned to kill her, but when they were in Maniana that night, Horace flew right back home once he heard something wrong with Clara, he was startled.

He had long known that the woman was special to Horace, but only in a way for fun, just like how he's interested in any hot women.

But then he found out that Horace was in love with that chick.

And that finding thrilled him.

He had always hated Horace, the little brother who's so much younger than him but overshadowed him in every way. He had always been jealous of his brother for being so much better than him, and even more of their grandfather's preference for him.

It's was not until that kidnap ten years before, from which Horace lost his legs, did he start to believe that his brother had been out of the picture before growing up as a threat.

Years later, however, to his disappointment, Horace returned from Maniana as a bigger threat to him in spite of having to sit in a wheelchair.

For all these years, ever since the jerk's return and the establishment of Solrace, he had been growing into a bigger threat.
