Second Chance: Marrying into Wealth Chapter 77

Paula also finished reading the confession and listened to Fallon, feeling a bit angry.

"This Lawrence is just like that, and he's a bad man. I don't know how, but isn't Clara very proud? How did she fall for Lawrence and even arranged everything so meticulously to clear his name?

She even thought of the escape route. Looking at this plan, it must have been arranged a long time ago. Did Lawrence drug Clara or something, making her so good to him?"

Fallon continued, "What Clara did seems to be for Lawrence, but it actually looks more like it's against Ms. Turner. Ms. Turner, do you really have no grudge against Clara? Mr. Cook also noticed something was off, so he specifically asked me to inquire further."

Unexpectedly, Jason also noticed.

Indeed, Clara is either arrogant or thinks everyone is too stupid to notice, or she is deliberately being so high-profile, letting me see that she is targeting her, but I can't do anything about it.

This question was already asked by Vance last time.

No matter how much I recall my past, I am very clear that I have no interaction with Clara.

"I've only met her twice in total. The first time was when her car lost control and hit me, and the second time was during the fight at the mall.

In my memory, I really haven't had any other conflicts with her."

These words made everyone fall into a moment of silence.

Since there were no clues, Fallon wouldn't dwell on this matter and continued, "It seems we have to find another way to investigate, mainly looking at Clara's motive, not for Lawrence, but for you.

Now that Lawrence has been arrested, he specifically asked to see Clara."

I sneered inwardly.

At this time, Lawrence is still thinking about Clara.

Does he have some true love for Clara? Or is he hoping Clara can help him clear his name?

But I understand Lawrence, a selfish person, he probably wants to see Clara to see if she can help him.

He hasn't even asked about me, like whether I'm dead or alive.

Fortunately, Lawrence is destined to be disappointed. Fallon said Clara refused to meet him.

I wonder what Lawrence's reaction will be when he hears this news, disbelief? Or self-mockery? He wasn't sincere to me, and conversely, Clara wasn't very sincere to him either, but Lawrence himself couldn't see it.

He probably still thinks Clara loves him very much!

"Besides refusing to meet, what else did Clara say?"

I couldn't help but ask.

Fallon thought for a moment and replied, "The police have already approached Clara, but she has a dedicated lawyer handling this matter, so she only said one sentence: they had already broken up a few days before you went to Eagle's Nest Chalet. She didn't say anything else.

She's not a fool, and her lawyer must have reminded her that the more she says, the more mistakes she makes, so she kept her mouth shut. Although Evan took full responsibility, and Lawrence is still at the police station, both of them dodging and having some connection with Clara, she most needs to avoid suspicion and clear her relationship, so she definitely won't meet Lawrence, which is a clear choice."

I sneered sarcastically, "She's not stupid. How could someone like her have thought of becoming Lawrence's mistress in the first place? I don't understand her."

Fallon frowned and stated, "Clara said she didn't know Lawrence was married at first, but after they were together, she found out. By then, she was already deeply involved, and it was too late. Later, she actually thought about giving up, but she couldn't bear to.

Lawrence is also a sweet-talker, coaxing her that he would divorce soon and marry her, but she waited and waited and never saw it happen. She said she had a strict upbringing, a good family background, and was good in all aspects. When she realized Lawrence might be deceiving her, she didn't want to be Lawrence's mistress, so she resolutely broke up."

At this point, Fallon's voice paused, and she looked at me sympathetically, "Lawrence didn't seem to want to break up at that time. He said something like, 'Wait a little longer, and he would soon handle everything and give her a status.' But Clara said she didn't know Lawrence's so-called handling meant he wanted to kill you."

I couldn't help but admire Clara's series of words, making herself sound so innocent.

I haven't forgotten Clara's arrogant look in the mall. Isn't Clara contradicting herself?

Paula couldn't help but complain, "Clara, that bitch, wants to push all the responsibility away, but she has done a lot of bad things. This matter is not over; we must catch her loopholes. Wasn't there a video of Clara arrogantly saying those things during our fight at the mall? Can that be used as evidence to say Clara is lying? Her words are too contradictory."

Unexpectedly, Paula and I thought of the same thing.

But Fallon shook her head, "Clara's lawyer is very good. She doesn't answer some questions, and nothing can be asked. Also, without concrete evidence, the video can only be used as reasonable speculation for the case, not as evidence.

And she produced all the large bills during her time with Lawrence, saying she was the one being deceived."

"Oh, she still won't admit it. If the two of them were locked up together, wouldn't it be lively, with them accusing each other?"

Paula couldn't help but laugh.

I imagined the scene Paula described, especially if Lawrence and Clara accused each other, it would be very exciting.

But Fallon reminded me, "Now you should consider whether to meet Clara and talk. Maybe you can capture some useful information."

Meet Clara?

I thought for a moment and nodded, "Then let's meet! As for what I need to prepare to meet Clara, I'll need you professionals to remind me."

Fallon didn't expect me to make a decision so quickly and said a few more words, "Then you should think it over. Are you sure you want to meet Clara? And whether to meet or not also depends on whether Clara is willing."

I was very confident and raised my eyebrows, "She will meet! After all, she is targeting me."

Seeing my confidence, Fallon didn't say anything more.

She agreed to my request and told me step by step how to meet Clara and where to start.

Soon, the car dropped off her and Paula at their destinations.

I went home alone.

When I stood at the door, my face was calm.

But my eyes were deep, as if separated by a lifetime.

The house had been thoroughly cleaned by the cleaning service, and there were no traces of Lawrence and Missy.

But the memories remained.

The decoration at the door had somehow slightly come loose, swaying in front of me as if it could crack and decay at any moment.

Just like it was foreshadowing my relationship with Lawrence.

Back then, Lawrence and I had put up these decorations together, and the scene was still vivid in my mind.

He looked at me affectionately, pointed to the decorated door, and said, "Melinda, we finally have a home together. Unless you don't want me, I will always be with you."

He was right!

I don't want him anymore, but it's because he broke his promise first.
