Clara finally decided on a location and wanted to send her mother away right the second day.
Mrs. Henderson hadn’t packed all her stuff and was surprised that Clara was in such a rush, “Clara, I
haven’t prepared anything. I don’t have to leave so fast.”
Clara helped Mrs. Henderson to pack her suitcase and said, “It’s okay. You can live in a hotel for a
while and I will ask the butler to help you to rent a place and get you settled.”
Clara then stood up and turned to Mrs. Henderson, “I’ll finish my job here soon and I will come to meet
you in no time.”
Mrs. Henderson stared at Clara and was about to cry, “You are also unhappy here, right? If you are
really upset, we can just leave and forget all this behind. The responsibilities of the Hendersons
shouldn’t fall on you.”
Clara hugged Mrs. Henderson, “I’ve booked you the flight ticket and the butler is also ready. Someone
would pick you up once you arrive there. The hotel is also booked.”
Mrs. Henderson frowned and lamented, “Why are you so anxious?”
Clara didn’t answer her question and prepared all the essential credentials and necessary clothes and
then went downstairs with Mrs. Henderson.
The butler was waiting by the door.
He had been in this family for a long time and was really depressed to see Mrs. Henderson pining away
day by day.
He had been by Jakub’s side since he was born and his eyes started welling up when he thought about
Jakub.
He then asked Mrs. Henderson if she wanted to see Jakub in the mortuary house.
Mrs. Henderson hesitated for a while and said that she didn’t want to go there.
She can’t go to see Jakub in her current state for he definitely wouldn’t want to see her this way.
She knew that she was out of order now for Jakub’s death was really disaster for her and her world
would never be the same.
Mrs. Henderson didn’t sleep much last night and was pondering her previous life and her future life.
How can she bridge the two after this disaster?
She also thought about what Old Mr. Henderson said yesterday on the second floor.
She knew that she would never forget about this, but other people seemed to have moved on.
She was the misfit of this family.
She was really scarred by Jakub’s death and this wound would never be able to recover.
All the family members seemed to have forgot about Jakub’s existence and they were dying to erase
him from their lives.
Clara sent Mrs. Henderson and the butler off and told them to be careful.
Seeing the car driving away, she let out of a long breath and was finally relieved.
From now on, she didn’t give a shit about what will happen to the Hendersons.
She then texted Marshall.
She didn’t know if Marshall would see it, but she had told him everything.
Old Mr. Henderson went out today and she didn’t know where did he go.
Clara waited for a while and went to his room.
She opened her room with a copy key and directly went to the wardrobe and opened the safe naturally.
All the filed were still in it.
Clara checked it carefully and noticed that there were a couple of new files here.
But they were just some breakdowns of overseas income and the sales record.
Clara perused it carefully and noticed that the sales noticeably decreased compared to the numbers
before.
But in general, the overall sales number was pretty substantial.
Clara didn’t take the pictures this time and just put it back after skimming it.
She really wasn’t sure what Mr. Henderson and Old Mr. Henderson were talking about recently.
Mr. Henderson would always leave in the middle of the night and come back early in the morning.
He was probably doing something shady.
After checking the safe, she went out and locked the door and stepped towards her own bedroom.
But she saw old Mr. Henderson when she just reached the stairs.
Old Mr. Henderson looked a bit irritated.
Clara glanced at him and meant to greet him, but just gave up when she saw his angry look.
She then went to her room.
After standing in the living room for a while, the maid came over and told him that Mrs. Henderson had
left.
He was in a bad mood and just pounded on the floor with his cane and said angrily, “Well, it’s better
that she is gone. Our family is unlucky recently because of her constant wailing.”
The maid dared not to say anything and just left.
Old Mr. Henderson waited for a while and then sat on the sofa.
Clara didn’t go downstairs and there was no maid near him, so he didn’t really have anyone to talk to.
He sat silently for about half an hour and got Mr. Henderson’s call.
He hurriedly picked it up and asked, “What did they say?”
Mr. Henderson sounded upset, “Nothing much. They just said some of the people might be
imprisoned.”
Old Mr. Henderson cursed and then said, “They guaranteed me that nothing would go wrong and now
there is a serious problem here.”
Mr. Henderson didn’t say anything, after all, this matter happened before he took over the casino.
He didn’t really know what to say.
Old Mr. Henderson was really pissed off and asked, “Did you ask someone to check the hospital?
Moreover, where is that woman right now? How can they let that woman get in? how stupid are they!”
Mr. Henderson heaved a sigh and said, “We haven’t looked into the hospital yet. The whole thing hasn’t
blown over yet. I’m afraid that we might get into other troubles if we do that.”
Old Mr. Henderson nodded, “Right, we can’t mess this up ourselves. We got to be patient in this critical
time.”
Mr. Henderson thought for a while and said, “But we are really unable to protect some of those people.
Right now, we can only try to do something prevent them from snitching us.”
Old Mr. Henderson lamented, “I meant to take over this business, but I didn’t see that there would be
so many troubles.”
Mr. Henderson answered, “I just feel like that we are targeted here.”
Old Mr. Henderson nodded, “That is for sure. Nothing happened to this place so many years and
something just suddenly went wrong. I knew this would come when that many people just suddenly
disappeared at the same time a while ago.”
He meant to let Mr. Henderson to take over and handle all the matters, but he failed to sort out all the
problems.
They didn’t really achieve anything fruitful over the phone.
Old Mr. Henderson just told Mr. Henderson to stay calm and see if anything would come up and they
can just play by ear.
