NovelEnglishChapter 443
Walter let out a relieved sigh and handed the phone back to the butler. Across the desk, Eden was on edge,
watching him hang up so quickly.
"Grandpa, what did Dylan say?" she asked, her voice tinged with urgency.
"He doesn't like Clara," Walter replied.
Eden's fists clenched, and tears started to pool in her eyes. It's always hardest to admit your feelings when you
really like someone. Walter picked up his pen to reshis calligraphy, but seeing Eden so upset, he paused, his
brow furrowing slightly.
"Why are you so concerned about Dylan's love life? Maybe spend a little more tadvising your mom to keep
our family issues private."
Eden stood up slowly, feeling the pins and needles in her legs. She wiped her cheeks with a swift, careless
motion.
"Grandpa, don't you think it's strange? Dylan, someone so extraordinary, had his legs injured back then and
didn't blClara. Could it be that he liked her even then?"
Walter chuckled at the thought. "Are you saying that while Clara was chasing your brother all over the place,
Dylan secretly had a crush on her?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGiven his looks and status, a secret crush seemed unlikely. Eden's tears flowed even more freely. It felt like the
whole world doubted Dylan's feelings for Clara. But she saw it clearly.
Her nails dug deeply into her palms. Taking a deep breath, she declared, "Grandpa, I'll prove it to you."
With that, she turned and left. Walter looked at the calligraphy he had written, strong and bold. He set the pen
down and turned to the butler.
"Let everyone know they need to be hfor Christmas," he instructed.
The butler nodded respectfully. As Eden left the mansion, she looked up at the sky with determination. She
quickly called Megan, her tone confident.
"You need to work withon this. I'll make sure Clara doesn't suspect you, but Sarah's got to take the fall."
Megan pursed her lips. She'd met Eden Ferguson by chance. Eden wasn't as naive as Sarah, and messing with
someone from such a powerful family was playing with fire.
"What do you needto do, Ms. Eden?"
"Have Sarah give Clara a hard tso she can't focus on Dylan."
That way, Clara wouldn't have the energy to be around Dylan, and with the holidays coming up, Dylan would be
even busier. Megan's lips curled into a sly smile. She'd been wanting to ditch Sarah anyway. Her lowly status and
audacity to dream of Dylan were laughable.
“Alright.”

On the weekend, Clara headed to Ryan's villa. The place had sservants, but it felt a bit empty with Ryan
away. With Christmas approaching, and Ryan's birthday on Christmas Eve, she planned to bring him out for a
meal together.
Lately, Ryan had been texting her every day, sharing notes on his studies. He was learning quickly, which was
comforting for Clara. She went to the market to pick up sholiday decorations, asking the villa's staff to help
out with wreaths and fairy lights, creating a festive vibe.
Meanwhile, after Megan's call, Sarah was waiting by Clara's apartment entrance. When Clara returned and saw
her, she frowned.
Sarah stood there with a smug look, holding out her hand. "I need money to raise a child. | can't ask Ryan, so it's
up to you. | need gourmet meals daily; the baby insidedeserves the best."
Clara tried to walk past, but Sarah followed closely.
"Clara, your brother cares a lot about the baby I'm carrying. If something happens tobecause of you, do you
think he'll blyou?"
Clara paused, rubbing her temples. "I'll transfer three hundred thousand to your old account. Don't cto me
until after the holidays."
Sarah's eyes lit up at the mention of the money. It was more than she could ever earn, and she had Megan to
thank for it.
"That's not enough. | want a villa or letstay in Ryan's villa."
