After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 312 I Only Treat Her as a Sister

Golden Crest Estates basked in a serene afternoon, but Clara was anything but calm. After her heated argument with Brynn at the coffee shop, she headed straight to the Boleyn family home.

She hailed a taxi, her face still bearing the mark of a slap, and her clothes a mess, stained with spilled coffee. Despite her disheveled appearance, the thought of Brynn's devastated look brought Clara a twisted sense of satisfaction.

This battle, though started by Brynn, was one Clara had won. And she wasn't planning to let Brynn off the hook just yet.

With the slap mark still fresh on her face, Clara was determined to cry her heart out in front of Desmond, confident that he would break things off with Brynn once and for all.

As Clara plotted her next move, she was unaware that the Boleyn family was dealing with their own turmoil.

Desmond followed Gabriel downstairs, receiving a stern lecture about the importance of a sincere apology. Though he felt uneasy, Desmond agreed to everything.

When they reached Ace, Desmond greeted him respectfully and apologized earnestly. "Mr. Elise, I was wrong. I didn't consider Brynn's feelings."

"Of course you were wrong! You didn't just overlook Brynn's feelings; you completely disregarded her!" Ace's anger hadn't subsided, and he didn't hold back his reprimands. Desmond quickly continued to apologize and tried to calm Ace down.

Ace threw a stack of photos at Desmond, demanding an explanation. Desmond recounted the events of that day in detail, leaving nothing out. Clara, in his version, was like a sister to him, not by blood but by bond.

"I truly see her as a sister now," Desmond insisted. "And Mr. Elise, you can check the hotel's surveillance footage. After I took Clara to her room, I left immediately." Desmond hadn't stayed long in Clara's hotel room that night. She had been deeply upset, and after a few comforting words, she fell asleep, and he left. In hindsight, he was relieved he had left early, avoiding any further complications.

"I went to see Clara that night because her mother had become comatose. She was too distraught to go home and asked me to help find a doctor."
