Chapter 283
On the other hand, the people sent by the Boleyn family discovered that Clara was neither in her rental house nor in the countryside.
Not only could they not warn Clara, but they couldn't even catch a glimpse of her, so they returned dejectedly.
Gabriel was furious, knowing that Clara had seduced Desmond and then hidden away.
As for where Clara had hidden, Gabriel could naturally find out if he wanted to, but the quickest way would definitely be to ask Desmond.
But Desmond was on a date with Brynn, and now was not the time to ask him.
Moreover, Desmond was now infatuated with Clara, so even if he asked, Desmond probably wouldn't say anything.
Fortunately, his subordinates soon found out Clara's whereabouts.
Emily was worried that the marriage alliance would be disrupted by Clara, so she was particularly concerned about Clara's movements.
Upon learning that Clara had returned to the Manners family, she thought for a moment and said:
"Didn't Desmond say that the Manners family had kicked Clara out? How could she go back?"
She had learned about Nathan from the Manners family being saved by Katniss from Desmond.
At that time, she was annoyed with Clara for pestering her son and had quite a bit of resentment towards Clara. She was quite happy when she heard that Clara had been kicked out.
"Are you talking about Katniss?" Gabriel suddenly said, "I have an idea."
At a café near Golden Lake.
Desmond was on a date with Brynn, but he didn't seem to be in good spirits.
"Desmond, didn't you sleep well last night?"
Brynn sat across from Desmond, still smiling brightly as usual.
"I didn't sleep well."
Desmond immediately perked up and smiled at Brynn.
Hearing this, Brynn immediately shared various sleep aids she had heard of. Desmond listened and responded with a smile, but his thoughts had already drifted far away.
He had comforted Clara for a long time last night and was scolded by Gabriel this morning, so it was no wonder he wasn't in good spirits.
More importantly, he was still worried about Clara, worried that she wouldn't eat properly because of Elodie's situation.
Elodie had become a vegetable, and he had already asked a good doctor to see her. He received the news early in the morning, but the results didn't seem good.
He hadn't told Clara the results yet, fearing that she would be even more heartbroken.
Brynn talked for a long time without getting a response from Desmond, only to realize that he was daydreaming.
"Desmond, what are you thinking about?"
Desmond hurriedly snapped back to reality, "Nothing, just something trivial. Didn't you want to see a movie? Let's go see a movie."
He was afraid Brynn would notice something, so he suggested going to see a movie.
Watching a movie meant he wouldn't have to listen to Brynn talk, and it wouldn't matter if he zoned out.
Brynn was skeptical, but when she heard Desmond suggest seeing a movie, she immediately put her doubts aside.
"Let's go, there's a movie I've been wanting to see. Desmond, let's go now."
She naturally linked arms with Desmond, and seeing that he didn't resist, she was even more pleased with him.
Katniss had barely started reading at home when she received a call from Cecilia inviting her out.
In the end, she was persuaded by Cecilia's persistent calls to go out.
"Katniss! Over here!"
When she arrived at the meeting place, Katniss heard Cecilia's cheerful voice from afar.
She looked up and saw Cecilia waving at her.

Katniss quickly walked over, and Cecilia immediately linked arms with her.
"You finally decided to come out."
Cecilia looked Katniss over, took a deep breath of fresh air, and sighed, "I was about to die of boredom."
"What's wrong?" Katniss asked curiously.
Cecilia pouted and started complaining,
"It's about that wealthy heir from the Loomis family. I got scolded by my dad. These past few days, I've only been allowed to go to school and stay at home."
Cecilia was always lively and active, and being grounded for a few days nearly drove her crazy. It was only because her mom couldn't bear to see her so downcast that she pleaded with her dad, and Cecilia was finally allowed to go out.
As soon as she could leave the house, she immediately contacted Katniss.
"That does sound a bit pitiful." Katniss agreed, subconsciously comparing it to Maximilian and finding that Maximilian was much better.
Realizing she had naturally thought of Maximilian, Katniss felt a bit guilty and wanted to comfort Cecilia to change the subject.
Cecilia's mood changed quickly, and before Katniss could comfort her, she was already dragging Katniss towards the mall.
"Let's go! Katniss, let's shop around the mall today and then go for a hot spring bath, okay?"
The weather was perfect for a hot spring bath!
Katniss thought about how tense she had been these past few days and agreed that she needed to relax, so she agreed.
While they were shopping, Katniss suddenly received a text message.
After reading it, her expression turned grim.
"What's wrong? Katniss? Did something happen?" Cecilia asked, leaning in.
"It's a small matter. Wait for me, I need to make a call."noveldrama

The Manners family was often unpredictable, and there was no need to tell Cecilia and make her worry too.
Seeing that Katniss didn't want to say, Cecilia didn't press, "Then hurry up and finish your call, and we'll shop a bit more before going to the hot spring!"
She had already made a reservation and was determined to help Katniss relax.
Katniss found a place to call Dylan,
"Katniss, why are you calling me suddenly? Is it for Nathan's treatment?"
Dylan's attitude was neither good nor bad, his tone neutral.
Katniss's tone was equally cold as she briefly explained what she had learned.
Dylan immediately responded, "Let me confirm."
"I only want the result, and if this happens again, you know the consequences." Katniss didn't care how Dylan confirmed it; she only cared about the result.
After speaking, Katniss hung up the phone.
Seeing the call end, Dylan's expression turned extremely sour. Even though Katniss was treating Nathan, she was being too arrogant!
Frustrated, he called Lucas to confirm if Clara had indeed returned home.
Lucas immediately knew something was wrong and, upon learning that Dylan had been questioned by Katniss, admitted:
"It's my fault. I softened and let her come back. I just don't know how Katniss found out so quickly."
"Who knows how she found out." Dylan was equally frustrated and suddenly thought of something, "Is someone tipping her off?"
"Maybe." Lucas said, "I'll need you to go home and talk to Clara. The company is too
busy."
Dylan didn't trust Lucas to persuade Clara again, so he agreed to go home and handle
it.
When he got home, he indeed saw Clara.
Clara was sitting on the sofa, enjoying a delicate cake.
