NovelEnglishChapter 373
Kaitlyn had crossed paths with Simon before. Back then, she saw him as nothing more than a spoiled, self-
absorbed rich kid-kind of a dimwit, but harmless
enough.
But today, standing in front of her, Simon seemed like a completely different person, almost unrecognizable.
His face was calm, but you could tell there was a storm raging inside. His eyes were bloodshot, like he hadn't
slept well in ages, and he had sserious dark circles.
"So, she never cared about me, just usedas a pawn. What kind of pawn? No wonder I've had so many
attempts on my life. Could all of them be tied back to her?!"
He practically shouted that last question, frustration boiling over.
Simon used to be pretty naive, but he had definitely been through a lot of assassination attempts. The Ferguson
family's power had always shielded him.
He often wondered why it seemed like his life was more valuable than Dylan's, the real heir.
If what this woman said was true, then it was all a setup from the start.
Clara...
Clara!!

could be more humiliating than this?
He had been so confident she'd never leave him, thinking she'd always be his. Turns out, he was the biggest fool.
Why should he be humiliated like this?
A dark rage flickered in his eyes, his teeth grinding together.
But within moments, he pulled himself together, walked right past Kaitlyn, and left.
Kaitlyn stood there, feeling like she'd landed herself in a mess. She had wanted to warn Clara about Simon,
something seemed off about him. But then a barrage of phone calls stole her attention, and she forgot all about

Meanwhile, Clara was busy transferring investment funds to Kaitlyn's stuin chunks. Kaitlyn, being sharp and
talented, made sure every penny counted. She was producing short web series for streaming platforms, skipping
the tedious network approvals, ensuring quick payoffs.
They figured once the three shows aired, Clara would be looking at a cool six million.
This gave her sbreathing room, easing the pressure to chase more investments, especially since the
Bradford Group was revamping its product lines, ditching all the old designs.
Luckily, even though Johnny was soft in his management style, he was a stickler for quality. This loyalty kept a
solid customer base. So, when the products went on
sale at half-price, they were snapped up, easing the inventory load.
In less than a week, the current stock was cleared, even gaining sbuzz online.
Seizing the momentum, Clara pushed a company-wide initiative to update all product lines, making sure the
electronics looked fresh and modern without compromising on quality. This led to a boost for many young
employees who had been sidelined.
These young talents had a flair for design and were eager to bring contemporary trends into play.
After a grueling week, Clara finally paused, feeling completely drained. What she didn't know was that Ryan had
been trying to reach her all week. Despite his desperate pleas, no one would let him use a phone.
Ryan was being kept under tight watch in a remote facility. Aside from his suite, the staff who brought his meals
barely exchanged words with him.
He had gone from hoping Clara would visit to feeling crushed by disappointment.
Most days, his body ached all over, pain coursing through him, making him curl up on the floor, wanting to
scream and roll around.
How could Clara just leave him like this? Weren't they supposed to stick together no matter what?
Now, he was left with nothing.
What hurt him more than the prison-like conditions was Clara's decisive cut-off.
She had always been good to him.
The more he thought about it, the sadder he got, tears streaming down his cheeks.
Just then, the door creaked open, and someone stepped inside.
He curled up tighter, his voice raw, "Get out, get out!"
The visitor's voice was gentle, "Mr. Ryan, I'm a friend of Clara's."
