My Love, Enlighten me

Chapter 353 Uneasy

When Kenny Clarke heard this, he replied faintly, “Yes. They only wanted 50 million more in cash, but they wanted 100 million back then.”

Randy Clarke was too scared. He muttered unclearly, “Right, that’s right… they only want 50 million more. You can give it to them, right?”

Kenny Clarke was his only savior right now. He was his only hope.

“Why didn’t pay the 100 million?” his voice sounded like a devil crept out of hell.

“Kenny… Kenny, I’m your father. You have to help me…” the only thing he could think of was begging Kenny Clarke to help him.

“Mother wouldn’t end up like that if you cared about her as your wife! Randy Clarke, this is your retribution!”

He gritted his teeth and hung up the phone with a bang.

It was already dusk.

The maids were all thrown out and the light in the hall was not yet turned on. It was a bit dark.

In the large living room, beside Kenny Clarke and Shi Ye, there was only Aurora Clarke who passed out.

Kenny Clarke stood there motionless. He was becoming one with the night.

After a while, Shi Ye called out with some worries, “Young Master.”

He didn’t know how long had Gloria Taylor been standing there.

She walked over. Shi Ye hid the arm the kidnappers sent them, “Young Lady.”

Gloria Taylor ordered, “Bring Miss Clarke back to her room.”

Shi Ye propped Aurora Clarke up and hid the arm away.

Gloria Taylor sat down beside Kenny Clarke.

It was getting dark and the lights were still off. She couldn’t see his face clearly.

Gloria Taylor stretched out her hand to cup his face and turn his face toward her, “Kenny.”

Kenny Clarke turned his head and pulled her into his arms. He remembered that her shoulder had not yet recovered.

Gloria Taylor patted his back gently. She was well aware that no words could comfort him right now.

She could feel his depressed breath. It felt heavy on her neck.

“My mother was a gentle and beautiful woman. No one was better than her.” he said painfully.

“I know.” her eyes glistened.

She knew what an excellent woman his mother was. She was a noble woman from a scholarly family. She thought that she married a good husband, but unfortunately, she died a tragic death.

This was so unfair.

The most innocent people had to bear the most pain and suffering.

“How could they do that?”

Gloria Taylor couldn’t see his face, but she could feel the helplessness in his voice.

Everything related to his mother was a sensitive topic for him. It hurt whenever the memory was triggered.

If his mother really died in that kidnapping, it wouldn’t be so painful for him.

Gloria Taylor couldn’t answer this question.

She had no answer for this.

She was neither Randy Clarke nor Manley Clarke. She didn’t know how they felt when they did that.

Even it was hard for an outsider like her. She couldn’t imagine the pain Kenny Clarke had to bear.

She hugged him and said firmly, “You still have me and Tina. We will be reunited soon. If your mother knows that you’re happy, she will be happy too. She loves you so much.”

After she said that, she could feel his tears on her neck.

Gloria Taylor dared not move. She didn’t say a word again.

The next day, Gloria Taylor and Kenny Clarke set off to the island Si Chengyu said.

The island was surrounded by a beautiful scenery. It took a day and a night to arrive at the island from Huyang City.

Before leaving, Gloria Taylor saw the news.

“The kidnapped Randy Clarke was found and sent to the hospital for rescue early this morning. He was out of danger.”

She read the news one more time, closed the webpage, and put her phone away. She looked up at Kenny Clarke who was sitting opposite her.

She and Kenny Clarke sat in the hall for a long time last night and then, she fell asleep. When she woke up, she was already on the plane.

Kenny Clarke was wearing a suit with a stack of data in his hands. He lowered his eyes. He didn’t seem upset.

His self-control took her by surprise.

“It seems that I’m more interesting than the breakfast.” Kenny Clarke put down the document in his hand and looked at her, “You’ve been staring at me for two minutes straight without touching your breakfast.”

Gloria Taylor lowered her head and took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun, “I don’t know you have a private jet.”

They took his private jet right now.

Kenny Clarke lowered his head and continued to look at the document in his hand, “If you like it, I can buy you one after we go back.”

After eating two pieces of the steamed bun, Gloria Taylor sat next to him and read the document with him.

Kenny Clarke was reading some information about the island and what Si Chengyu had been doing for the past six months.

After Si Chengyu wrote the address, he sent someone to tail Si Chengyu and to come to the island first.

But, expect for the house and several servants, Tina Clarke was nowhere to be found. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Gloria Taylor bit her lips and worriedly said, “Si Chengyu is too crafty. I don’t think that it will run so smooth.”

“Do you believe me?” Kenny Clarke put down the paper and held her hand.

Gloria Taylor looked up and said, “I believe you every single time.”

Kenny Clarke brushed her hair back, “Don’t worry too much.”

She nodded and looked out of the window but her uneasiness was not getting better.

She took a deep breath and stood up, “I’m going to see Miss Su.”

Kenny Clarke saw through her uneasiness. He didn’t say much. He just nodded and let her go.

Gloria Taylor found Su Qingning was sitting by the window. She was quiet and beautiful.

“Miss Su.” she greeted.

“Young Lady.” she looked up.

“Sorry. I don’t know your real name.” Gloria Taylor couldn’t imagine what kind of woman who was willing to fake herself as another woman.

Su Qingning looked indifferent, “It doesn’t matter what my real name is. What matters is that the young master has helped me. Now, I will help you find the little lady.”
