Chapter 479
“Mr. Jefferson, if that’s the case, won’t everything we’ve done be exposed?” Bailey’s voice trembled with fear.
They’d always known Clara wasn’t really the Ramoz family’s heiress. If Henry discovered she was an impostor, all their efforts would have been for nothing
Conner was aware his decision to expose Clara’s identity could lead to mutual destruction, but he would never let Sergio have the last laugh.
With a cold tone, Conner said, “There’s always a plan B. Who’s to say I don’t have a backup?”
“Mr. Jefferson, are you saying that.” Bailey trailed off
“Get the car ready. We’re going to Ramoz Manor.”
“Yes, Mr. Jefferson.”
The Jefferson family’s car headed straight for Ramoz Manor. The guards at the gate saw Conner’s car approaching and quickly came forward to greet him
The guard bowed respectfully and said, “Mr. Jefferson, I’m terribly sorry, but Mr. Ramoz isn’t home today.”
From the back seat, Conner rolled down the window and asked, “Where did Mr. Ramoz go?
The guard looked troubled, “Well we’re not exactly sure.”
“What about Nathalie?
“Ms. Ramoz went out with Mr. Ramoz and hasn’t returned yet.”
The guard’s expression revealed everything to Conner. From afar, Conner could see the lights on in Ramoz Manor
Inside, Clara and Henry were there, with Sergio seated in the place of honor. The three of them seemed harmonious, like a family.
Conner sneered
Everyone had been in it for their own gain. Even though Henry might have talked a big game about breaking ties with the Brook family, he lacked the backbone to follow through
And now that Sergio had proposed to marry Clara, Henry was more than happy to follow Sergio’s lead.
“Bailey, let’s go.”
“Yes, Mr. Jefferson.”
As Bailey turned the car around, he couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Jefferson, Mr. Rano is too much. You’ve done so much for the Ramoz family all these years.
“You’ve put in a genuine effort to help him find his daughter, and now that be has Sergio’s support, he just forgets about you.”
“That’s just human nature”
“But without Mr. Ramaz’s support, we…!
“That’s enough.” Conner rabbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. He hadn’t expected Sergio to accept someone like Clara just for Maeve.
“How’s Nathalie’s doing now?
“Ms. Ramoz is being well taken care of at our villa in the suburbs. She’s quite obedient, unlike Clara”
“Good. Drive to the suburbs now and bring her back.”
“Now Halley glanced at the darkening sky. “Isn’t it a bit too late?”
set now!” Conner demanded.
