No Strings Attached novel (Clara and Ian) novel Chapter 352

Ian's expression turned icy upon hearing the words. Leonora really had a short memory for pain. Her wounds were still fresh, yet she was already plotting and scheming for Heidi. She sure had a soft spot for her. Even he and his sister had never been on the receiving end of such favor.

Ian's lips formed a thin line, his voice cold as he spoke, "She's found out about Clara's origins."

Edwin's brow twitched violently, "So she told Eve, and Eve used that to blackmail Mr. Casey, causing his heart condition to flare up and disrupt Clara's court appearance, all to save Heidi."

For the sake of Heidi, they were willing to disregard the lives of others.

Leonora knew that Clara was truly May's daughter. So, as May's best friend, shouldn't Leonora be protecting Clara and targeting Heidi? Why was she still setting Clara up?

It didn't make sense, either emotionally or logically.

Edwin began to doubt the depth of Leonora's relationship with their mother. When their mother was dying, she clutched a necklace Leonora had given her tightly in her hand. What was she trying to convey? Had she discovered some secret about Leonora?

Was Leonora implicated in May's death?

At the thought, a sharp pain pierced Edwin's chest, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

If it were true, what about Clara? She and Ian would be bound by an enmity.

Clutching his phone tightly, Edwin's voice grew hoarse, "Ian, have you found something out? Have you been keeping it from me?"

Hearing the accusation, Ian clenched his fist wearily. He denied flatly, "No, there are no leads."

"What about the necklace? No leads there either?"

"The necklace maker is dead; no one knows its secrets."

Edwin felt something was off. "Then give the necklace back to me. It's my mother's keepsake."

Ian said, “That’s my gift for Clara. I’ll give it to her when we get married.”
