Chapter 271 Listening to Desmond's voice, Gabriel felt a wave of annoyance.
He stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at him gloomily, "Shut up!!" Desmond was somewhat stunned.
He felt that his father's temper was getting worse.
Desmond lowered his eyes, feeling a bit unhappy, and said softly, "I'm sorry, Dad. I know I've annoyed you. But regarding Clara's matter... I really have no other way but to ask for your help." Hearing his son's soft words, Gabriel also felt uncomfortable. His tone softened a bit, "Alright, I didn't say I wouldn't help her. But we need to think this through carefully and aim for a decisive victory. We can't let this case have any more chances for reversal." He couldn't take this kind of trouble anymore.
He had already spent too much energy on Clara's case.
Hearing his father's words, Desmond felt much better emotionally.
In the evening, he analyzed the ins and outs of the matter with his father once again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGabriel seemed to hear something important. He waved his hand to stop Desmond and then asked again, "What did you say? You said this matter was exposed by someone named Laura?" Desmond nodded solemnly.
When Clara told him at the time, he didn't believe it. Neither of them thought this matter could cause such a big stir.
Now it seemed that Laura's abilities should not be underestimated.
"Who is she?" Gabriel quickly grasped the key point, "Does she have a grudge against Clara?" Desmond was taken aback by the question.
He only knew that Laura was Clara's classmate and seemed to have gone bankrupt. As for other messy things, he had heard but never verified, as it had nothing to do with him, so he wasn't very clear.
Seeing his expression, Gabriel understood.
He finally knew why Desmond, who wasn't stupid, couldn't solve any problems and always relied on him.
It turned out that he wasn't concerned about the issues at all and wouldn't think of ways to verify them.
Gabriel sighed, "You should find someone to investigate Laura. The breakthrough in this matter might be with her." Desmond was about to nod in agreement, but Gabriel changed his mind, "Forget it, I'll find someone to do it." He just wanted to end this matter quickly.
Gabriel's people were very efficient, and with Clara's inquiries, he quickly learned the whole story.
Once he found Laura's address, he immediately took Desmond to visit her.
The reason for bringing him was to let Desmond learn how to handle things in the future.
When Laura opened the door, she was drowsy, wearing loose pajamas.
She was stunned to see the two of them, "What do you want?" She recognized Desmond, but the other middle-aged man looked very authoritative, and she hadn't seen him before.

We want to discuss a business deal with you." Laura looked them up and down, then sneered, "Desmond, I don't get along with Clara. You're her fiancé. What do you think we have to talk about? If she finds out, there will be another scene." Desmond was about to speak, but Gabriel directly said, "Desmond is here because he wants to break off the engagement with Clara." Laura was a bit surprised. She scrutinized the two of them, seemingly pondering whether Gabriel's words were reliable.
Gabriel showed a faint smile, "We can't talk about anything standing here. Why don't you let us in?" Laura nodded, not afraid of what they could do to her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter Gabriel sat down, he didn't waste any tand directly stated his purpose, "Desmond plans to break off the engagement with Clara, but her condition is for us to clear her name. We know you reported this matter, So..." Listening to Gabriel, Laura remained calm. She brushed her hair aside, "Weren't Desmond and Clara madly in love? Why are they breaking off the engagement now?" Back then, it wasn't Clara who had an engagement with Desmond. The engagement was snatched from Katniss. Such deep affection, yet it ended up falling apart.
Desmond turned his head to look elsewhere, while Gabriel said, "She caused so much trouble. How could she have the nerve to join the Boleyn family? But since she has a request, we have to agree." "So, what do you wantto do?" Laura said confidently, "So what if I reported it? Are you going to arrest me?" Compared to the Boleyn family and the Manners family, Clara's family was truly in decline now.
"We hope you can record a video admitting that you falsely accused Clara of hiring a hitman." Gabriel slowly stated his request, "Of course, we won't let you suffer a loss."

Hearing the first part, Laura looked troubled. Hearing the latter part, she but showed a faint smile! calm, "Oh, then I'd like to hear what conditions the Boleyn family offers."
Gabriel had investigated Laura before and knew she used to have a good family background but later fell into decline. But now, living in such a luxurious house, she must have ssource of income. As for what kind of source, he wasn't interested. He just asked Laura, "Since we have a request, it should be up to you. What do you want?" Laura smiled, "As a weak woman with no good prospects, I naturally want smoney and a house for security." Gabriel smiled and nodded, "Of course." "And..." Laura slightly turned, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, "If I admit to making up the story, I'll definitely be scolded. My body and mind will be severely damaged..." Desmond impatiently said, "Just state your demands. We'll agree to what we can. But if your ambitions are too big, we can't help." Gabriel didn't speak, seemingly agreeing with Desmond.
Laura rolled her eyes and directly stated her demands, "My demands aren't high. A car, a house in Golden Lake, and an additional $200,000." Desmond gasped and couldn't help but stand up, "Are you crazy?"
A car was manageable, but a house in the luxurious Golden Lake area, even the smallest one would odstat least $100,000. Adding $200,000 in cash, in a twhen the national average annual salary was only $2,000, would directly place her among the wealthy. The Boleyn family could afford it, but giving away $300,000 at once would still be painful.
Laura looked at the red-faced Desmond and couldn't help but smile, "It depends on how much Desmond thinks it's worth." Wanting to get rid of Clara without paying a price? There's no such good deal.
