203 Grace and Steve

The Claytons had a common trait. They never let go of the bone once they've bitten it.

Lara Clayton and her father were probably the only two who would give up an opportunity if it seemed too bothersome. Her mother wouldn't change her mind no matter what happened; her brother likewise.

As for the twins, it was clear enough which was Scarlet's standing with biting.

In such a family, it was useless to expect them to let go of Lara just because they were told to.

Lara had blocked all the numbers and avoided spreading information about her location. Still, they could guess she was in Norwich. It was where the base of the LY Corp was. And it also was where she attended a cocktail party with no shame nor worry.

«She's there,» Mrs Clayton said. «She went far from Sheton, indeed. How could she make that man accept her bastard, though? Does Nathaniel Woods even know about her pregnancy?»

«Don't be like this, dear,» Mr Clayton replied.
