The CEO's Amazing Ex-Wife Is Back! by H. Dally

Chapter 123

Clark stiffened, disliking how Thalassa’s gaze remained pointed and questioning. He let out a small chuckle.” Didn’t I? I think I did.”

“No, you didn’t, Clark,” she calmly stated, shaking her head, still waiting for an answer.

Clark swallowed. “Uh, the last woman I was with… she was called Meghan. I never married her, though, because after the first two experiences, I didn’t want to be attached to anyone else. But we were together, and I thought she had gotten better until she had a bad relapse and had to be sent back to the mental hospital. She committed suicide in there.”

He let out a sorrowful sigh. “I guess I didn’t tell you because remembering this has become too painful for me.”

“And what about the inheritance you got from all of them? You didn’t tell me about that either,” Thalassa continued.

Clark subtly gritted his teeth, wondering why she wasn’t letting it go. “I… I didn’t think it was important. Yes, they were well–to–do, but almost everyone in the foundation I joined was wealthy in some way. When they died, I didn’t want to receive anything, but the lawyers told me that since I was the last surviving relative, if I refused, their fortune would be taken by the government. That’s why I agreed.”

“But Meghan wasn’t your wife, so how did you receive her property after she died?” Thalassa questioned.

Clark licked his lips. “She left everything to me in her will. I don’t know why… For some reason, she really trusted me. But I guess she did it because I was the only loved one she had left.”

Pursing his lips sadly, he sank back into the couch. “Why are you asking me these questions, Lassa? Do you think I was with them for their money?”

“I never said that, Clark,” Thalassa pointed out.

“Yes, but I know that’s what Kris was trying to imply. I only accepted the inheritance because it was their wish for me to have everything, and I couldn’t just let the government take it. Since then, most of the money has been going into charity and supporting the needy, mostly in Africa. I can get you all the documents to prove it if you want.”

continued staring at him for a few seconds before shaking her head. “No, it’s fine. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t be asking you all these questions because it’s not my place. All I’m doing
