Want My Womb? I'll Make You Childless novel Chapter 110

Chapter 110

After dropping Clara off at her apartment, Ryan headed straight to Nova AI.

With evidence of Natalie’s theft of the Blade data and her dealings with foreign entities secured, her arrest was a done deal.

He needed to work with the NSA agents and go through Natalie’s exact steps to find the malware.

Back at her apartment, Clara had just finished making dinner when she heard a knock at the door.

Thinking it was Ryan with something to discuss, she opened the door without a second thought, only to find several NSA agents standing there. She froze, surprised.

“Ms. Bennett, you’re suspected of illegally transmitting national medical secrets to foreign entities. We have a warrant for your arrest. Please come with us immediately.”

The lead agent flashed his credentials and held up a tablet displaying a log of overseas data transmissions traced back to her personal computer’s IP address.

Clara glanced at the credentials in the agent’s hand. Confirming they were indeed with the National Security Agency, a cold dread washed over her. It quickly dawned on her that this had to be Natalie Parker’s doing.

She couldn’t believe Natalie had not only stolen the Blade data but also done something like this, clearly aiming to crush her completely.

“There’s something wrong with this record.”

She forced herself to stay calm, carefully observing the agents who had come this time–unfamiliar faces, not the ones who had been

handling Natalie’s case.

“This IP is indeed mine, but I’ve never sent any confidential data. It’s likely been forged or stolen.”

Clara attempted to explain, “I’m a researcher for the Blade project.”

She reached into her bag on the shoe cabinet, pulling out her Blade R&D team ID.“There have indeed been foreign entities trying to steal Blade’s data, and my colleagues and I have been following up on this.”

“But I would never do such a thing. I ask you to believe me.”

The NSA agents exchanged glances after verifying Clara’s identity, looking troubled.“Ms. Bennett, we came here based on a report and aren’t aware of the details of the Blade project data.”

“The chain of evidence has been preliminarily verified. The transmission time and data characteristics perfectly match the classified information intercepted abroad.”

“We need you to come back to the office with us to assist with the investigation.”

The NSA agents stepped forward, gesturing for her to “come with them.” Their tone was polite but carried an undeniable air of authority.

Clara frowned.“Can I at least tell my colleague? We have work to hand over…”

Whatever it took, she had to find a way to notify Ryan.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Bennett.”

The agent’s expression was firm, his eyes fixed on Clara.“Please don’t make us resort to force.”

Clara took a deep breath, suppressing her rising anxiety.

She knew how the NSA operated; resisting now would be pointless.

“Alright, please wait a moment. I need to change my clothes.”

Seeing the NSA agents nod in agreement, she hurried to the bedroom, grabbed a pen, and scribbled a note on a label. Taking advantage of the blind spot near the door, she stuck the label to the refrigerator.

“Let’s go.”

Clara put on her coat, locked the door, and deliberately nudged the doormat on the floor askew with her foot.

-She and Ryan had planned to celebrate getting rid of Natalie Parker together that evening.

She hoped Ryan would notice something amiss when he arrived and would enter the password to see the label.

The NSA agents gave her a once–over, but her face was calm, giving nothing away. They nodded and surrounded her as they entered the elevator.

Meanwhile, in the underground parking garage.

Several nondescript black sedans were parked near the entrance of Clara Bennett’s apartment building.

The paparazzi that Emma Anderson had hired aimed their cameras at the building’s entrance.

“Those guys all looked pretty much the same. Are they the Carter family members Miss Anderson mentioned?”

One of the paparazzi asked in a hushed voice.

Emma Anderson’s initial plan was that Ethan Carter, upon seeing Clara Bennett’s medical report, would confront her. Even if the paparazzi were too intimidated by Ethan to cause a scene, they could at least get some video footage to use for blackmail later.

But to her surprise, Clara Bennett and Ryan Walker had resolved the issue of the medical report in less than half a day, even revealing to Ethan Carter that they were the ones who had orchestrated the scheme.

And these paparazzi, whom she had hired, were too afraid to offend the Carter family to even dare follow them and take a look.

“I don’t know.”

Another one shook his head.“Those guys looked more like bodyguards. They had a really intense, dangerous vibe.”

“Let’s wait a little longer and see if Clara Bennett comes down with them.”

“Will that work? Miss Anderson wants us to get a video.”

“That’s the Carter family we’re talking about!”

One of them glared at the person who had just spoken.“A few photos will do. If we cross the Carter family, we’re toast.”

As they were talking, Clara Bennett and the National Security Agency agents came down.

“Quick, Clara Bennett is coming down.”

Someone rapidly pressed the shutter, while another picked up their equipment to start recording.

“Where are they going?”

“Don’t know.”

As they watched in confusion, Clara Bennett got into the car with the National Security Agency agents. Seeing the white and blue emblem on the car door, they were all dumbfounded.

“I–Isn’t that a National Security Agency car?”

“It looks like they’re taking Clara Bennett away…”

“W–What’s going on? Why would the National Security Agency be arresting Clara Bennett?”

The group was shocked, but the lead paparazzi quickly regained his composure and waved his hand.“Don’t make a sound! Just keep taking pictures! This is way more explosive than her fighting with Mr. Carter!”

The others hastily raised their cameras, but just as they pressed the shutter, they were spotted by the outer security personnel of the National Security Agency.

“No photos allowed! Leave immediately!”

A cold voice barked out, and a National Security Agency agent quickly stepped forward, confiscated their memory cards, and forcibly drove them away.

In the chaos, one of the paparazzi managed to send a freshly taken photo to Emma Anderson before being shoved out of the parking lot.

Clutching his phone, he sent a message to Emma Anderson, his heart filled with a mix of fear and excitement. This was an exclusive

scoop!

“Miss Anderson, Clara Bennett has been taken away by the National Security Agency!”

Meanwhile, Emma Anderson was sitting in the living room of her villa, applying a face mask while waiting for news from the

paparazzi.

She couldn’t help but smile as she imagined Clara and Ethan arguing over the medical report.

Once she had those photos, she could force Clara to drop the charges against Lucas, and the Carter family would owe her one.

The moment her phone vibrated, she snatched it up, and the mask nearly fell off her face when she saw the contents of the photo.

In the picture, Clara was surrounded by several people in National Security uniforms, walking towards a police car with a solemn expression and an aura of suppressed tension.

“The National Security Agency?”

Emma’s pupils constricted, and she quickly dialed her mother, Patricia Anderson, her voice filled with barely concealed excitement.“Mom! Something big has happened! Clara Bennett has been arrested by the National Security Agency!”

Patricia was in her study processing documents when she heard this. She paused, her voice tinged with disbelief. “What are you saying? The National Security Agency arrested Clara? What did she do?”

“I don’t know the specifics, but the paparazzi took photos at the scene. There’s no mistake!”

“Mom,” Emma said quickly, “do you think she really did something illegal? Like… stealing state secrets or something?”

Patricia was silent for a moment, a glint of calculation flashing in her eyes.

She put down her pen, stood up, and walked to the window, saying in a low voice, “If that’s the case, then things just got interesting.”

“Before, when we wanted to spread rumors about her having an STD, we were worried about involving Ethan and upsetting the Carter

family.”

“But if it involves state secrets, then it has nothing to do with the Carters. We can totally use this to our advantage.”

“That’s what I was thinking too!”

Emma said excitedly, “As long as we have something on her, we can force her to drop the charges and get Dad back!”

Patricia’s lips curled into a calculating smile.“Exactly. Have someone find out exactly why Clara is being investigated and gather as much evidence as possible.”

“Remember, do it secretly, don’t let the Carter family realize we’re the ones behind it.”

“Don’t worry, Mom, I know what to do!”

Emma hung up the phone, her eyes gleaming with triumph.

She could almost see Clara desperate and begging her for mercy. Her fingers tapped lightly on the phone screen as she started arranging for people to investigate the matter.

Unbeknownst to them, Ethan Carter was standing in the hospital hallway, his grip on his phone so tight his knuckles had turned white.

The words he’d overheard in the information technology department echoed in his ears. The Hayes family had gone so far as to tamper with medical reports and frame Eric Anderson, all to prevent him and Clara Bennett from having more children.

A wave of intense guilt and fury washed over him. Ethan punched in his assistant’s number, his voice hoarse but laced with undeniable

authority.

“Investigate. Dig into every move the Hayes family has made recently. They dared to frame Clara, and I’ll make them pay!”

The interrogation room at the National Security Agency was stark and oppressive, the white walls reflecting a cold, harsh light. The air carried a faint scent of disinfectant.

Clara Bennett sat in a chair, a cup of cold water sitting untouched on the table in front of her.

Two interrogators sat opposite her, their eyes fixed on her with sharp intensity.“Ms. Bennett, we’ve discovered that a document containing highly classified national secrets was sent from your personal computer’s IP address to an overseas location. Can you explain this?”

“My personal computer?”

Clara met the interrogators‘ gazes head–on, her expression calm and steady.

“As I’ve already explained, my personal computer remains at my home, and it has multiple layers of encryption. It’s impossible for it to

have sent any classified documents.”

“We’ve verified the IP address, and it definitely originated from your personal computer,” one of the agents stated.

He slid a printed IP tracking report across the table towards her.“Furthermore, this classified document is highly related to ‘Project Blade,‘ in which you were a key member at Nova AI. As a core member of the project, you had ample opportunity to access this data.”

Clara stared at the black and white address on the report, then closed her eyes briefly. “You can check my computer records. I didn’t even touch my computer this afternoon.”

“Besides, this data isn’t even from Project Blade. It’s bait that my colleagues and I released to gather evidence of Natalie Parker’s data

18:07

theft.”

“And she took the bait. I already notified your colleagues to arrest her.”

“She must be the one who did this, trying to shift the blame onto me.”

Recalling her last experience in the interrogation room, Clara felt a surge of anxiety. She couldn’t stop herself from trembling.

The interrogators exchanged glances, and one of them left the room, presumably to verify her claims.

After a short while, he returned, shaking his head.“We haven’t received any reports of Natalie Parker’s arrest.”

“How is that possible?”

Clara stood up, staring in disbelief at the interrogator who had just entered the room.

She had distinctly heard Ryan’s phone call; how could they not have received any news about Natalie’s arrest!

“Ms. Bennett, please remain calm!”

One of the interrogators rapped his knuckles on the table.“We hope you’ll give a truthful account, and we’ll strive for a lenient

sentence.”

Clara leaned back in her chair, feeling utterly powerless.

Where had things gone wrong?

Just then, the door to the interrogation room swung open, and Ryan Walker strode in.

Menu

He was dressed in a sharp black suit, his posture ramrod straight. A hint of urgency played across his face, and when he caught sight of Clara, the worry in his eyes was unmistakable.

He quickly moved to her side, gently squeezed her shoulder, and offered her a reassuring look before turning to the interrogators. He handed them an encrypted USB drive.“This contains all the evidence of Natalie Parker stealing classified data and falsifying IP addresses, including surveillance footage and technical analysis reports.”

“Clara is being framed. She and I have been cooperating with the National Security Agency in the investigation of Natalie Parker’s

criminal activities.”

The interrogators took the USB drive and plugged it into the computer for a quick verification.

As the evidence was confirmed bit by bit, the stern expressions on their faces gradually softened, and their gaze toward Clara held a hint of apology.

“We apologize, Ms. Bennett. We were mistaken about you.”

The lead interrogator stood up and extended a hand.“Thank you for your contribution to national security.”

Clara watched Ryan’s upright figure, a complex mix of emotions swirling within her.

“Sorry, I’m late.”

Sensing her gaze, Ryan turned back, his eyes softening.

“I went to your place…”

He glanced at the interrogators nearby, leaving the sentence unfinished, but it was clear he’d seen the sticky note Clara had left.

“When I saw you weren’t home, I thought I’d come here first to get an update on Natalie Parker’s situation.”

“The Natalie Parker case is classified as top secret; it’s not something regular personnel have access to, which is why they couldn’t find

the truth.”

Sunlight streamed through the interrogation room window, outlining him in a soft glow. When he turned back to her, the tenderness in his eyes seemed capable of melting all the coldness in the world.

Clara’s heart skipped a beat for no reason.

Just moments ago, when she heard the NSA agents say they couldn’t find any record of Natalie Parker’s arrest, she’d even begun to doubt Ryan.

But now, seeing him, hearing his explanation, she felt an overwhelming sense of reassurance. It turned out that no matter the time or

circumstances, he was always worthy of her trust.

Clara relaxed, her body going limp, and she nearly lost her footing. Ryan, noticing her distress, quickly wrapped his arms around her.

“It’s okay now. I’ll take you home to rest.

”

Clara nodded and followed him out of the interrogation room.

As they reached the main hall of the National Security Agency, they saw several officers escorting someone inside.

The person’s hair was disheveled, clothes rumpled, and face clearly showed signs of distress.

She looked up, saw Clara and Ryan, and a flash of malice and resentment flickered in her eyes. She struggled to break free and lunged forward, but the officers held her firmly.

“Clara! You bitch! This is all your fault!”

“You also stole data and transmitted it abroad. Why are you okay? Did Ryan pull some strings!”

Natalie’s voice was hoarse, filled with frenzied hatred.

She knew she couldn’t escape, but she still hoped the National Security Agency could verify the evidence of Clara transmitting data

overseas.

Either way, she just wanted Clara to suffer even more than she did. After all, she still had Ethan’s guarantee backing her.

Yes, she had Ethan. The National Security Agency couldn’t convict her just like that!
