No Strings Attached novel (Clara and Ian) novel Chapter 456

Hearing those words, Edwin stumbled backward several steps before collapsing onto the bed. His worst fear had materialized.

His mother's chauffeur was a distant relative of Leonora, a man named Daniel, who had contracted cancer before the incident. He had kept his illness a secret, continuing to work for the Campbell family.

With only three months left to live, it wasn't beyond the realm of possibility that he might have done something drastic for the right price. And right after the tragedy, Leonora had given Daniel's widow a whopping half a million in consolation money.

Was it just a coincidence, or had Leonora been plotting this all along? If Leonora was truly behind his mother's death, how would Clara ever face Ian?

With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Edwin took a deep breath and headed back to Northbridge overnight.

Meanwhile...

Leonora sat in the cafeteria, staring down at the unappetizing food on her plate, the hatred in her eyes growing more intense by the second.

Just then, she saw a familiar figure take a seat across from her. Startled, she looked up to find Paolo's aged face before her.

Surprised, she asked him, "How did you get in here? How's Heidi? Is that bitch Clara dead?"
