Chapter 141 Wade Stands Up for Clarissa

Finished

At the hospital, Kelly had her foot treated for the burn, and soon after, the police arrived to check on the situation.

Kelly had decided not to pursue charges, and neither did the other party. The issue was left unresolved. Kelly knew it wouldn't be worth continuing. The other side claimed they had been drunk, and it was likely the case would be viewed as excessive self-defense in the end.

As she waited for Darren to return with her medication, Kelly noticed Beau and Clarissa sitting nearby.

Clarissa had deliberately chosen loose, comfortable clothes, forgoing her usual heavy makeup. She now appeared to be going for a natural look, likely attempting to highlight her so-called "pregnancy glow," dressed in a long shirt-dress and flat shoes,

"Kelly, I heard you burned your foot at the restaurant across the street. Is it bad?” Beau asked with a feigned tone of concern, rushing over to get a better look at Kelly's injury. His insincerity was almost unbearable.

Clarissa stood with an air of superiority, her hand placed on her waist as if trying to showcase her pregnancy. She clearly wanted everyone to notice.

"Dad, I'm so exhausted from this pregnancy," Clarissa said sweetly, her voice dripping with false tenderness. "Wade wants me to rest, so I'm heading home. I'll let someone else handle the company for now." She deliberately made this announcement in front of Kelly, Eric, and the just-arrived Melody.

Melody's brow furrowed in frustration as she glared at Clarissa. "I really don't understand how Mr. Wade can't see through her."

Clarissa let out a cold laugh, her voice laced with malice. "A few days ago, I was at a family gathering with the Lockharts. Your mother-in-law asked about you, and when I told her you were in Solmaris, she actually said it was a miracle you survived and came back... but she also thinks you've brought shame to the Wagners."

Melody's face shifted dramatically, her fists clenching in anger. It looked like she might snap. "Clarissa, you've been feeding lies to Hannah, haven't you?"

No wonder she's been so cold toward me lately.

Clarissa laughed again, but this time it was sharp and cutting. "I'm carrying a Lockhart's child now. If you want to hit me, go ahead. I'm the Lockharts' precious gem-no one would dare touch me. The heir to the Lockharts is growing inside me, and if you hurt me, and something happens to the baby, even Oscar wouldn't be able to protect you."
