Chapter 171 - Can We Get Remarried?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Clarence’s mind went blank.

It was the first time Miranda had ever kissed him. It was the only time they had ever kissed.

Clarence did not know how he was feeling. During their marriage, he never touched Miranda. After their divorce, they were having physical contact now?

After some time, Miranda let go of Clarence. “I’m sorry, Clarence. I really understand the mistakes I’ve made now. Can we get married again?”

It was a very sudden question.

At that moment, Clarence’s heart trembled.

The emotions he had suppressed at the bottom of his heart exploded all at once. He almost nodded to tell Miranda yes.

However, if he agreed to it, would the successors of the consortium let the Murphys off the hook?

When they went after Clarence, the Murphys would get dragged into their mess too.

He would not be able to guarantee Miranda’s safety anymore.

Clarence hesitated.

When Miranda saw Clarence hesitating, her face grew so red it seemed as if it could begin bleeding at any second. Intense rancor accumulated in her heart.

She was humbling herself and begging him.

Why was he still not agreeing to remarry her?

Clarence took a deep breath and shook his head under the woman’s gaze. “Let’s just drop this.”

Miranda let go of his arm. Her voice became cold all of a sudden. Her pleading gaze became distant as well.

“Why? Have you really fallen in love with Cecilia? Do you think you’re suited for her? Don’t you know who she used to be? She was the queen of nightclubs in Mediterranean City, and no one knows how many men she has been in contact with. She used to be called the thorny Black Rose in the night scene.”

Miranda chuckled coldly. “You can’t get that kind of woman to submit to you. She’s only interested in you now. Do you think you’ll really spend the rest of your life with her?”

Miranda’s eyes were red. “Stop lying to yourself, Clarence. Cecilia is just playing with you. After she’s done, she’ll kick you to the curb.”

Clarence said spontaneously, “You don’t have to worry about that. I know very well what kind of person Cecilia is.”

Miranda had an invisible ball of rage in her heart.

She stood up abruptly. “Fine, if that’s the case, I won’t talk about us getting remarried again. We’ll conclude our relationship today and from now on, there will be no more relationship between the two of us. This is my final request: Selina has agreed to give the Murphys a contract for ten billion. I hope you can talk to her for us.”

Miranda had finally stated her true purpose of the night.

Clarence was utterly disappointed.

He was smiling, but he felt terrible. “You beat around the bush for so long, even bringing out the wine and pretending to be pitiful… In the end, it was all just for the ten billion from Selina. I finally understand.”

He hated himself for feeling touched just now and actually fantasizing about getting married to Miranda again.

He had also been worried about how their remarriage would put the Murphys in danger, and Miranda as well.

However, it seemed that everything had been a ploy.

The main reason the woman had asked him here was to get Selina’s ten billion dollars.

Clarence wanted to laugh, but he could not.

He got up to leave.

“Clarence, stop!” Miranda yelled at Clarence’s back.

“Are you going to look for that woman? Stop! You bastard!”

Clarence continued to walk out of the hotel with no intention of stopping.

Miranda was getting anxious. She grabbed the wine bottle on the table and threw it at Clarence like she had gone mad.

Smash!

Headshot.

The bottle landed on the back of Clarence’s head, smashing into pieces immediately. Red liquid started to pour from Clarence’s head.

It was impossible to tell whether the red was the wine or Clarence’s blood.

“Ahh!”

Miranda covered her mouth. She had only wanted to scare him. She had not expected her aim to be so accurate.

Clarence turned around in disappointment and looked at Miranda with a broken heart. “You’re still the same. You haven’t changed at all. You’ll do anything for money while poor me stays fantasizing about what things could’ve been…”

Miranda felt an ache in her heart, but she did not tell Clarence about it.

Clarence shook his head. “Don’t worry, I’ll ask Selina to give you the ten billion dollars. But from now on, don’t come to me anymore.”

After Clarence said that, he completely disappeared from the entrance of Love Sea Restaurant.

“Boo hoo…”

It was as if Miranda had lost something precious. She squatted down and started wailing.

The woman had gotten what she wanted. She had secured the ten billion dollars.

If that was the case, why was she still unhappy?

After Clarence left the restaurant, he went back to Thirteen Hall.

When he went in through the side door, he felt like something was off. Thirteen Hall was too quiet.

The lights were not on as well.

He could not see anything in front of him and it was pitch black.

Clarence called out hurriedly, “Master Williams? What’s going on? Why haven’t you turned on the lights?”

Clarence felt strange. Even though Thirteen Hall was closed, they would always leave a light on. It was impossible for the clinic to be pitch black.

Suddenly, Clarence’s face sank. He smelled blood in the air.

Even though it was normal to smell blood in Thirteen Hall since it was a clinic, Clarence was sharp. He could sense something was not right. 

Woosh! Suddenly, a cold glint flew down from above Clarence, near his scalp. Clarence quickly took a step back, his back was drenched in sweat.

If he had been a little slower, his head would have been split in half.

A voice emerged from the dark. “Kid, you’re pretty fast. However, you still have to die!”

After a cold flash, a long saber was waved in his direction.

Clarence’s face fell. He focused in front of him.

Finally, he saw everything that the dark had initially hidden.

There was a middle-aged man in front of him, and he looked about 5 feet and 11 inches tall. He had a beard and he was dressed in all black. It seemed like his clothes had been painted with some light-absorbing material, which was why he could hide in the dark.

When Clarence entered the Thirteen Hall, this man had lowered his heartbeat and breathing as he hid in a dark corner.

Then, he attacked Clarence when he was not paying attention.

Obviously, this man was here to kill Clarence.

Clarence did not dare to dawdle. He kicked his leg. It landed on the side of the saber.

Clank! With a muffled sound, the middle-aged man who was holding the saber stumbled, taking about ten steps back after getting kicked by Clarence.

He was shocked and annoyed. “Well, what great strength. Too bad you’re just using brute force. If you knew martial arts, then this would be difficult.”

He spat in his hands and gripped the saber tightly before running toward Clarence.

Clarence did not want to waste time with him. He smelled blood, and he was worried about Master Williams and Gunther. He ran to the back of the counter and grabbed some of his silver needles.

When the middle-aged man ran toward him, he stabbed a few of his needles into him.

Thud!

The middle-aged man fell to the floor as if someone had pressed pause on his movements.

“What did you do to me?” The man yelled in terror.

Clarence walked over to the switch and turned on the lights. “Where are Master Williams and Gunther?”

“You mean those two useless scumbags? I killed them.” The man sneered at Clarence as he lay on the floor.

Clarence’s eyes turned red for a second. “I’m going to kill you too.”

He tightened his grip on the silver needle in his hand and stabbed the man..
