No Strings Attached novel (Clara and Ian) novel Chapter 572

Katherine went abroad to take care of her father and moved into a villa nestled in the hills. Everything she needed, from food to clothing, was delivered by Connor.

At first, she didn’t think much of it. But later, she sensed something was off.

The place was swarming with bodyguards, and wherever she went, they followed. Moreover, her phone was restricted from accessing domestic websites. She couldn’t receive any news from there. Nor could she contact anyone from back home. Even calls from Brodie became scarce.

Eventually, she realized what was happening.

Teo’s suspicions were right. Her older brother, Connor, was indeed up to something.

Katherine had no clue what was happening back home. She was desperate to know how Ian’s company was doing. She was dying to find out if Clara had given birth and why she hadn’t been in touch.

At noon, she secretly added some sleeping pills to the bodyguard’s meal. Taking advantage of the moment he fell asleep, she stealthily used his phone to go online.

The news she saw online brought her to tears. Clara had lost her baby, Ian had been ousted, and Brodie had become the CEO of their corporation.

At this point, Katherine had a pretty good idea of what had happened. Ian and Brodie must have staged a play. She couldn’t believe that they would turn against each other.

When she saw all this, Katherine’s heart ached unbearably. She felt sorry for Ian, sorry for Clara. She couldn’t imagine how they had been coping these past days.

The thought that these two loving people had been separated was agonizing. And to think all of this was caused by Connor, Katherine’s resentment towards him grew stronger.

Now, everything hinged on her regaining her memory. If only she could remember, the truth would come out.

After much deliberation, Katherine decided to return the phone to the bodyguard and went upstairs alone.
