She took a deep breath. “I didn’t sleep a wink last night. I’m so tired.”
Just as she spoke, she headed back to her room.
Slamming her door close, it was like she had shut out the world.
She forced herself to look at the incident objectively. Claire is his sister, but... everything seems so strange.
She knew this was not the time to be flustered as she needed to prove her innocence. Lucas, I will show you the truth.
At Claire’s funeral.
Carmen was wearing a full-length black dress as she stood crying in front of Claire’s portrait.
She cried so tragically that her eyes were all puffy and swollen.
“Mr. Nolan, I really don’t know what happened. Just before she came back, she met up with me and we chatted happily. She even called to invite me to help out at Nolan Group. She was my best friend for many years. I really didn’t expect her to leave me so suddenly.”
Carmen was devastated. “You have to avenge her. That lady called Ashlyn is just too cruel. How can she bring herself to hurt Claire?”
As she seemed like she was going to faint anytime, Nathan quickly supported her. “Don’t be too hard on yourself as the world championship is in two days. If you are not at your best, how are you going to win?”
“I’m not in the mood to compete...” Carmen shook her head in anguish.
“She is your best friend so I’m sure she definitely wants you to win.” Nathan consoled Carmen as he patted her on the back.
“Nathan, thank you.” Carmen accepted a tissue given by a maid and gently wiped her tears.
She was a beautiful lady. Even when she cried, she looked especially vulnerable, causing Nathan to have his heartstrings tugged.
He secretly had a crush on Carmen since a long time ago and she was a goddess to him all this while. A woman that could drive faster than him simply caused him to admire and worship her.
“Nathan is right. You have to stay strong.” Lucas’ stern voice was hoarse. “Nathan, take Ms. Chadwick to rest.”
“Alright.”
