Flash Marriage With Mr Stranger

CHAPTER 4

In the Elvis family mansion, Lily was pacing around while biting her lips. She had a worried look on her face. No news from the paparazzi yet. She checked the news headlines and had nothing about Clara yet. This is already driving her crazy. She angrily deleted the leader of the goons' number, not wanting anything traced on her. Lily made a phone call trying to reach one of the television networks but was unavailable . Lily had already told her father the previous night about Clara entering the Probiz Hotel with some random old men. Mr Elvis was furious and only concerned about his reputation. He tried reaching Clara all night but all, to no avail. Mr Elvis impatiently dialed her number that morning and waited for Clara at the mansion.

Lily dialed the paparazzi number and, luckily, they picked up.

"You gave us false news, there was no one in the room and no. There was nobody there last night, please don't call our number again, you just wasted our time. " The paparazzi yelled angrily.

" What!? " Lily said with disbelief. "Are you sure you went to the right room-"

The paparazzi didn't let her finish her before he hung up.

"f**k," Lily cursed. But she and Henry took Clara to the room last night, so what the hell happened? She needed an explanation. Lily then called Henry. He picked up the call after two rings.

"Hello," he said lazily, it was clear he had just woken up.

"I called the paparazzi just now, they said Clara was nowhere to be found and there is no trace that she spent the night in that room," Lily said, her voice laced with fear. She tried her best to lure Clara into the hotel. She doubts Clara would agree to meet up next time. Hopefully, she doesn't remember a thing.

"What!," Henry exclaimed. The sleep in his eyes disappeared . He sat up on the bed. "But we took her to the hotel room last night, so how come she was not there?"

"I also don't know, and I told Father last night I saw Clara entering the Hotel with some unknown men, I lied that she's sleeping with people for money," Lily said, already feeling frustrated.

" Don't worry about that and stick to your story. Don't panic, I will be there soon, love you. " With that, Henry hung up.

Lily went to the living room when she heard the maids greeting someone. She was sure Clara was there. She walked out of her room with a bold smile on her face.

Clara pushed open the door and entered the house. The maids greeted her, and she returned their greetings politely. She went straight to the living room and there, she saw Aunt Mary seated beside her father, while Lily sat alone and on her phone. They all raised their heads when they heard the door opening.

Clara's expression was cold with no tinge of warmth on it.

"You this vixen, how dare you tarnish my image. " Mr Elvis roared angrily.

Lily scanned Clara from head to toe. This was not the dress Clara wore last night. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw the hickeys on Clara's neck. This shows that she did it last night. She covered her mouth in shock and pointed at Clara.

" Dad, look at her neck, is that not a hickey? " Lily said with her eyes widened in surprise.

Mr Elvis's eyes also fell on her neck and anger flashed in his eyes. "So you are really sleeping with men for money, I regret ever having a daughter like you, you are a shame to this household." Mr Elvis roared angrily.

Lily smiled secretly, this was exactly what she wanted. She looked at her mother and saw her smiling.

"Clara, you should have told your father if you needed money, you shouldn't have been sleeping around with men. That will tarnish his reputation." Mary also butted in.

The door flew open and Henry entered. He was surprised to see Clara.

"Good morning uncle, good morning Aunt," Henry greeted her with a bow. His eyes fell on Clara's neck and his eyes widened. Instead of him being happy about it, he felt bitter in his throat. The fact that another man has slept with Clara makes his anger boil. He never got the chance to kiss her when they were dating, talked less of hugging her.

"What is that on your neck," he questioned, with a cold gaze. "Don't tell me you have been cheating on me," he half yelled, anger visible in his eyes.

Clara widened her eyes but quickly replaced them with coldness, she didn't notice she had hickeys on her neck. She looks at her shameless boyfriend and her step-sister. Her gaze landed on her useless father. She felt bitterness in her throat. She has been so stupid in the past not to have noticed their hypocrisy. She suddenly let out a cold laugh, startling everyone. They never expected such a reaction from her .

Clara shot Lily a cold blazing look, making her shiver slightly. It felt like Clara was different. This is not the Clara everyone knows, she suddenly changed overnight.

She walked over to Lily, every step she took made Lily's heart beat faster. It was as if Clara was going to kill her. Clara stopped right in front of her.

She packed her hair up for them to see the hickeys on her neck clearly. She smirked "Yeah it's hickeys, do you have a problem with that? Even if I was sleeping around like you claimed, it has nothing to do with you all. " She roared angrily. Her chest heaved up and down. She shifted her gaze to Mr Elvis.

" Do you want to act like a caring father now? " She let out a cold stare. " I guess not, you only care about your reputation, nothing more. “
