Chapter 253 Unexpected Guest
There were noises on his side just now and ra seemed to have heard Laura''s voice. She shook her
head and warned herself not to overthink.
Seeing the phone hung up, Horace wondered if ra was hiding something from him, judging from her
weird tone just now.
"Horace?" Laura''s voice interrupted his thoughts. "Can you give me a ride to the celebration party
Because the set of jewelry was really popr as soon as it came out on the market and the press
conference was a sess, the Solrace Corporation had decided to throw a celebration party at a five-
star hotel for the design team.
However, Horace didn''t intend to attend the party. "I need to go back to thepanyter to deal with
something. Besides, everyone won''t be able to enjoy themselves if I went there, you can take their car."
"Okay then." Upon knowing that he wouldn''t be there, Laura felt a bit disappointed, but she didn''t want
to make Horace annoyed. "Take care on your way."
"I will," Horace replied, then he told everyone about it and drove back to thepany.
"Sir, Mr. Darren Kirnd is waiting for you in your office," when Horace got to his office, his assistant
stood up and said.
"Got it." Horace was a bit confused about why Darren woulde see him. He knew that this niece of
his had never liked him.
Sitting on the sofa in Horace''s office, Darren had been waiting for him. He came here today to talk to
Horace about ra.
When the video of ra and Laura in a coffeehouse together was posted online, Horace chose to
believe in Laura. It was since that time that Darren began to think maybe Horace was still hung up on
Laura. After all, he did like her very much before.
And after what had happened to ra, he was surer of his guess based on the fact that Horace didn''t
even keep rapany. He thought since Horace was still in love with someone else, he didn''t
deserve ra.
As soon as Horace entered his office, he saw Darren lost in thought on the sofa. He only took a nce
at him before he took off his coat and hang it on the hanger. Then he sat in front of his desk and asked,
"What''s up?"
"Since you don''t love ra, let her go," Darren raised his head and said straightforwardly.
With his eyes squinted, Horace looked at Darren and said in a cold voice, "What did you say?"
Without any fear, Darren looked into his eyes and continued, "She''s now in the hospital while you are
here, isn''t it enough to imply something? Horace, since you don''t…"
"She''s in the hospital?" Horace got distraught in an instant as he heard Darren''s words.
"You don''t know?" Darren frowned in confusion when he heard Horace''s question. "When we were in
the hospital today, I saw her calling you several times. Didn''t she tell you what has happened today?"
Darren wasn''t sure if Horace really had no idea or not.
"I was right." Horace thought to himself. When he was on the phone with ra just now, he sensed
something from ra''s tone. It turned out she was really hiding something from him.
"What happened exactly?" Horace asked in a stern voice, looking at Darren.
Seeing that Horace really didn''t know, Darren told him briefly what had happened today.
"Valerie came to make a fuss at Ashlee''s funeral today, she not only hurt ra, but also told her that
she wasn''t Glenn''s biological daughter. They did a paternity test and found out it was true. Mrs. Selman
couldn''t take it and passed out, now ra is taking care of her in the hospital."
After he got the address of the hospital, Horace took his coat with him and walked towards the door.
When he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Darren in a cold voice, "I
love ra, so you don''t stand a chance with her. Keep your eyes off of her." Then he left the office.
Hearing his words, Darren clenched his fists. He didn''t know what went wrong. He came to dered a
battle with Horace, somehow, he felt like a messenger.
On his way to the hospital, Horace couldn''t get his mind of what Darren had said to him. So many
things had happened today, ra must be under a lot of pressure and he should be with her.
But why didn''t she tell him about these things when they were on the phone just now? He had to hear
them from Darren. Thinking of this, Horace felt a bit angry beside his worries for ra. Wasn''t he as
important as Darren to her?
He drove fast to the hospital. After asking the nurse, he found Helena''s ward.
He pushed the door open and wanted to ask ra why, but he stopped his pace when seeing the
scene.
ra had fallen asleep sitting on the chair beside Helena''s bed.
He walked over quietly and squatted down beside ra. He had been a bit angry just now, but his
anger disappeared the second he saw the tired look on ra''s face, all that was left was his sorry for
her. After going through so much today, she must be exhausted.
Seeing that one of her arms was wrapped in gauze, his face darkened. He only allowed Valerie back to
the country because ra begged a mercy for her, but it seemed she didn''t change at all!

Even in her sleep, ra was still frowning. It seemed that she couldn''t sleep well. Horace gently
touched her face, feeling sorry for her.
When his hand touched her face, ra felt a bit cold and woke up from her sleep. As soon as she
opened her eyes, she saw Horace.
She was in a trance waking up from her sleep, it took her a while to realize she was still in the hospital.
"Why are you here?" ra asked surprisedly.
Pointing at Helena, who was still sleeping on the bed, Horace grabbed ra''s arm that didn''t get hurt
and they walked out of the room.
"ra, why didn''t you tell me on the phone what has happened?" Horace asked her in a gentle voice.
Without answering his question, ra asked, "You were at that press conference just now, why are you
here all of a sudden?"
Hearing this, Horace realized what was going on. The press conference had been on live stream, ra
must have watched it on her phone. She didn''t tell him what had happened today probably because
she was angry with him.
"Baby, it was just work. Don''t think too much, okay?" Horace said in a gentle voice.
"I see," ra answered resignedly. She knew she had no reason to be angry with him, she couldn''t ask
him not to see Laura ever again, could she?
Assuming ra had gotten over it, Horace put it behind and asked, "Does your arm still hurt?"
"I feel much better now." ra felt better when she saw that Horace was feeling sorry for her. Then she
went over what had happened today with Horace.
In Sean''s office in the Solrace Corporation.
Sitting in front of his desk and seeing that the stock price of Kirnd Group had been falling, he was so
angry that he threw the pen in his hand to the ground.
The Solrace Corporation was growing bigger and bigger and its product line had been expanding,
ovepping with the business of Kirnd Group. So far, Kirnd Group had lost a lot of money.
Had Horace been going against him? Sure enough, he shouldn''t have shown him mercy at all!
At this time, there were gentle knocks on the door.
"What now?"
Hearing Sean''s angry voice, his assistant dared not go in and said outside the door, "Mr. Kirnd, you
have a visitor."
"I won''t see him. Just tell him I am busy now!" Sean didn''t want to see anyone now.
"But, Mr. Kirnd, it''s a beautifuldy, she said herst name was…"
"I said, I won''t see him! Didn''t you hear me?" Sean interrupted her. Beautifuldy? So what? He would
see her just because she was a beautifuldy? What was with his assistant?
"Mr. Kirnd, you seem really busy." There came a voice of a woman, dripping with sarcasm. "You
don''t even have time for me?" Regardless of the assistant''s attempts to stop her, she walked into
Sean''s office.
Seeing the woman, Sean widened his eyes and sat up from the chair, "When did youe back?"
