Lost in Mr. Preston's Temptation novel Chapter 56

When Clara took the remote control to change the station, she saw some ornaments on the coffee table under the LCD TV and a bunch of lilies that the nurse had specially brought in after she had moved in.

The petals of the lily had opened slightly, and a fragrant scent filled her nose.

She suddenly remembered that night when she had treated Ethan Preston’s wound and saw the flower mark on it.

Clara looked at Baxter, “Baxter, may I ask you a question?”

“What question?” Baxter raised an eyebrow.

“The two brides who had wanted to marry Ethan and died suddenly before getting married. Those were accidents and unrelated to their health, right?”

Thinking of everything that had happened, Clara gave voice to all the doubts that had gathered in her heart, “Because some people think that if Ethan is married, it will threaten him, so they do it in secret......”

After she stopped speaking, her tone became determined, “The car that exploded outside The Follen Hotel that day was not aimed at Ethan, but at me.”

“Fuck!” Baxter was so shocked when he heard Clara’s analysis that his jaw dropped.

He had thought that Donny’s perfect lie had deceived Clara. He hadn’t expected Clara to remember the car explosion or that she would guess everything else so perfectly.

Looking at his expression, Clara knew that all her guesses were correct. “Actually, I should have guessed it a long time ago. Mr. Preston had three wives and so many sons and daughters, but in the end, he favored Ethan. He didn’t hand the family business over to the eldest, but to Ethan. Of course, everyone else would be unhappy.”

“If Ethan died in an accident, as members of the Preston family, they might be able to divide his assets...”

Clara’s eyes sank slightly, and she continued, “However, if Ethan marries a wife and has children, it is the same thing as starting his own small family. In that case, all of his assets will belong to his children and the rest of the Preston family won’t get a penny.”

“Clara, you’re incredible!” Baxter repeated this several times.

Because he had followed Ethan for many years, so he knew a lot about him.

However, Clara hadn’t even been married to Ethan for that long. She didn’t even know anything, but she guessed a lot of things.

It was just that...

There were many people in the Preston family who wanted to target Ethan, but after the bloodbath a year ago, those people followed the rules and didn’t dare have any more crooked thoughts.

There were indeed people who wanted to attack Clara, but they weren’t from the Preston family.

Clara just smiled and took a sip of the water on the table. “One of the brides was the daughter of a shipping tycoon, while the other bride’s family owned a food group. Even though that person killed them, Ethan didn’t try to seek revenge. He even spent a lot of money to settle with their families. I think that killer must have a good relationship with Ethan.”

“It’s someone that Ethan is reluctant to touch.” She rubbed her slender fingers against the surface of the water cup, her tone confident.

“...” Baxter opened his mouth in surprise. He already didn’t know what he could say.

He knew about the Rowan family, and knew that Steve Lane had schemed against Clara, destroying her family, and taking her company. He had always thought that Clara was dumb.

However, now, he found out that he actually was the fool!

“It’s that person who wanted to hurt me, right?” Clara looked at Baxter. “Can you tell me who that person is and why Ethan is indulging him?”

“I don’t know. My time with Ethan was short. It was always my brother who was with Ethan,” Baxter shrugged and muttered, “Before, I was always in Europe. I only came back two months ago.”

“No matter who that person is Clara, don’t worry. Past events won’t happen again!” He vowed to Clara, “With me around, no one will dare do anything to you!”

Clara quickly understood, “You didn’t protect the two brides before me, so they both died? It seems that Ethan really indulged that person.”
