Love Left Her For Dead (Natalie Carter) novel Chapter 10

Meanwhile, Logan was also searching along the coast where the waves might have carried Natalie. Jayden's men couldn't find her body in the sea, so Logan boldly speculated that she might not have died.

Hence, he and Jayden split up. Logan led a team to check every stretch of shore and nearby island where the tide might have carried her to.

However, after several days of fruitless searching, all he had was mounting helplessness.

Just then, his phone rang. "Mr. Hall, please hurry over to the Carter residence. Something's happened to Ms. Johnson!"

…

Five days after Clara's true colors were exposed online, Logan and Jayden finally made it back to the Carter residence.

Clara was curled up on the sofa, her eyes swollen from crying. The sight of her made both men's hearts ache.

"I'm so sorry, Clara," Jayden said gently, pulling her into his arms. "It's all my fault. I haven't been there for you these past few days. Don't worry, I've already had people suppress the rumors online.

"As for those spreading lies about you, I've already contacted a lawyer. I promise we'll make this right," he reassured her.

It took a while before her sobs quieted down. Then, she lifted her tear-streaked face and choked out, "But… but so many people believed those lies. Some even said I got someone to plant explosives on Natalie's cruise ship…"

When her voice cracked again, Logan hurriedly sat beside her and comforted her. "Don't listen to them; you had nothing to do with what happened to Natalie."

After Natalie's disappearance, Logan and Jayden had immediately launched an investigation into where the explosives had come from, but after all this time, they still couldn't find anything.

Still, the idea that Clara could have been involved was simply absurd.

Clara was kind, almost to a fault. Despite all the times Natalie had tormented her, she'd never held it against the latter. In fact, she'd even pleaded with them to go easy on Natalie when they were punishing her.
