Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister

Chapter 16 Your Surname is Selman, Not Middleton.

Before Clara could react, she suddenly heard a cry. She raised her head and saw Valerie Bennett

running over in a panic, followed by Glenn Middleton and Darren with a gloomy face.

Valerie quickly helped Ashlee up on the ground. At this time, Ashlee was no longer as sarcastic and

arrogant as before. Her eyes were red. With the help of her mother, she stumbled and stood up,

looking pitiful.

At this time, Darren also came over to hold Ashlee. Looking at her embarrassed appearance and

slightly red eyes, there was a trace of anger in his eyes. He turned to glare at Clara and said, "Clara,

what are you doing!"

Different from Ashlee's tenderness, Clara looked embarrassed after being splashed with red wine, but

she still had a stubborn look on her face. "She has been trying to provoke me. I pushed her by

accident. I'm sorry."

"Accident?" Valerie's voice suddenly raised, and she scowled at Clara with hatred. "What do you mean

by accident? I think you did it on purpose! You are jealous that our Ashlee can marry a good man, so

you want her to have an accident before the wedding! How could there be such a cruel sister like you!"

Valerie's accusation was like a string of bullets. Without a chance to refute, Clara had already become

the "cruel sister".

She trembled with anger. "Aunt Valerie, you are overthinking. Why should I be jealous of Ashlee?" Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"You've been jealous of her since you were a child. Don't think that I don't know!" Valerie's voice was

even sharper. "You can't admit your mistakes. That's right. Daughters are like their mother, and you're

just like your shameless mother!"

Clara was finally angry.

"Valerie!" She said in a cold tone, "I warn you. I don't want to argue with you for the sake of you being

an elder. But if you speak ill of my mother again, don't blame me for being rude!"

Clara's eyes were blood-shot. Valerie was so scared that she couldn't speak. She quickly looked at

Glenn beside her for help.

Glenn's face was also very pale at this point. He glowered at Clara and berated her, "Clara Selman!

How dare you say that! Apologize!"

Clara was shuddering from fury. When she was about to say something, Darren suddenly said coldly,

"Mr. Middleton, you should've been more careful in disciplining your child. She was just an illegitimate

daughter, yet she dared to yell at your legitimate wife. Does she even respect you?"

Clara jerked up her head as she stared at Darren in disbelief.

Darren also looked at her, but his eyes were full of disdain.

Clara was the illegitimate daughter of this family. When Darren was in love with her, he already knew

about this. At that time, he actually minded it a little. After all, this meant that Clara's mother was a

home-wrecker. But Darren always thought that although Clara had a disgraceful mother, she was

definitely different.

But later, he learned that Clara and her shameless mother were basically the same kind of people.

Therefore, he increasingly hated Clara's identity as an illegitimate daughter. At this time, he said such

sarcastic words, instead of helping Ashlee to vent her anger, it was better to say that he was angry for

his own misjudgment and stupidity Before. But obviously, others would not know what he was thinking.

Hearing Darren say this to Clara for her, Ashlee was surprised at first, but soon she showed a touched

and proud expression. "Darren..."

As for Glenn, though he was an elder, with the status of the Kirklands, he dared not retort after being

criticized by Darren. He apologized in a low voice, "Mr. Kirkland, I'm sorry to get you involved."

Clara, who was stunned, came to her senses and looked at Glenn angrily. "Dad! What do you mean?

Others don't know what happened. But don't you know? My mum—"

Before Clara could finish her words, Glenn glared at her angrily and shouted, "Clara! Shut up! You'd

better remember that your surname is Selman, not Middleton! You don't get the say in the Middleton

family!"

Your surname was Selman, not Middleton.

Glenn's words pierced through Clara's heart like a sharp dagger.

In an instant, the words she wanted to say became powerless.

She suddenly felt that everything was meaningless.
