My Love, Enlighten me

Chapter 332 I'll be fine if you are.

"They don't need to verify whether you heard their secret or not, as long as they considered someone as a threat, they would do whatever they want." Kenny put the glass in Gloria's hands and held her hands.

"Don’t be afraid," Kenny added because Gloria's hands were cold.

"Will Tina be safe?" Gloria raised her head and looked at Kenny with worried eyes.

Randy and Manley were so unscrupulous that Gloria could not expect them to have any mercy even on a baby, but Kenny dispelled her misgivings by a firm answer.

"Tina will be safe. If they want me to work for the family, they won't dare to touch Tina."

After a while, Gloria opened her mouth again.

"I don't understand, was it really worth it for them to do such horrible things? What exactly are they trying to hide?"

"Do you remember my Grandpa asked you to let me go to him before the accident?"

“Yes, I do.” Gloria nodded.

"He told as long as I spend the New Year in the manor, he would tell me everything I want to know." Kenny's eyes became sharp. "Including the truth of the kidnapping case back then."

Kenny Clarke never told Gloria about this, because he did not want her to know too many secrets about the Clarke family, which could hurt her.

Gloria's brain was spinning fast after she heard Kenny’s words.

"So, they were trying to cover up the truth by murdering everyone who knew it?"Gloria paused and frowned. "They thought I overheard what they were talking about, and Richard was going to tell you about it, so neither he nor I could stay alive."

Kenny Clarke answered her in silence.

Silence represented affirmation.

“You aunt...she was involved in the kidnapping case as well?"

Hearing Gloria’s question, Kenny Clarke seemed to be a little tired. He pressed his eyebrows, leaning against the sofa with his eyes closed before opening his mouth.

"Mayo Taylor also told that he saw Manley at the crime scene."

"How much are you hiding from me?"Gloria twitched her mouth, but she knew it was not important right now. “That explains my grandfather’s sudden trip aboard though. We could talk about it with him sometime later.”

"No."

"but..."

Gloria was trying to say something, but Kenny interrupted her. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"It's too late now. Let’s get ready to rest."

Gloria understood that Kenny Clarke did not want to talk about it anymore, so she shut her mouth, too, but she just could not shake the thoughts out of her head.

Kenny used to be quite close to Manley, but if she was related to the kidnapping case, then...

And One was the husband and father, while the other was the best friend and aunt. Why did they treat Kenny and his mother like this?

Kenny stood up and saw Gloria still sitting on the sofa without moving, so he lifted her up all of a sudden.

Gloria exclaimed but Kenny reached out to her lips and motioned her not to speak.

His face was unprecedentedly serious.

"Gloria Taylor, you are good, but I need you to stay out of this one. You are not allowed to go to Mayo and you will stop investing this from anyone. Especially Manley Clarke and Randy Clarke. Anyone."

Of course, Gloria Taylor would not agree, while Kenny was more serious than ever, and she held back for a long time, but only came out with a short sentence that was Manley said to her in a low voice.

"You are being unreasonable."

"Then I’m going to be reasonable with you right now. Listen, Gloria, I will be fine if you are, but if anything should happen to you, and I mean anything, it would kill me."

His words passed into her ears very clearly, knocking on her eardrums and making her stunned for a long time.

"Did you hear me?"

Kenny raised his eyebrows and asked Gloria who was still a little dazed.

"Yeah, I did. But I don’t understand. You know, about the part you said it would kill you or something. Do you mind say it again?"

"You want me to repeat?" Kenny squinted slightly.

Gloria Taylor nodded with blinking eyes, while as a result, for the next moment, Kenny carried her straight to the bathroom.

"Liar! You said you’d repeat!"Gloria argued with him in his arms with a blushing face.

"Uh-uh, I didn’t." Kenny Clarke replied to her faintly.

"Then why did you ask me."Gloria buried her head into his chest.

"Well, just asking."

"..."

...

The next morning when Kenny went for work, Gloria was still not asleep, because she stayed too late last night.

By the time she woke up, it was nearly noon. She leaned on the bed and this whole thing went back to her head again.

The secret Randy Clarke and Manley Clarke have always wanted to hide was the truth about the kidnapping case of Kenny and his mother.

Suddenly something flashed in her mind.

What Kenny needed to know was not just how they planned the kidnapping case, and it was why they did it more important. They did all these things to cover not only the truth of the kidnapping case but also their motivation.

Thinking of this, Gloria took out her phone and called Kenny in a hurry.

"You awake?" Kenny answered quickly.

"Their motivation, Kenny, motivation. They were closest to you and your mother, but next second, they turned into cruel animals. There gotta be a reason. Maybe your mother found something and the same went for Richard. They hurt Richard didn’t because he was going to tell you the details of the kidnapping case, but because he might know something else!"

Kenny heard Gloria's words and was silent for a long time.

"Kenny? Are you listening?"

"Yes." Kenny Clarke's voice became lower.

He was a man who would not easily show his emotions, but people who knew him could hear his emotional changes in his tone.
