My Love, Enlighten me

Chapter 269 Came Alone

There was a public toilet next to the tea shop.

Gloria Taylor went in with a bag on her back. When she closed the door of the cubicle she heard a car stopped outside the public bathroom followed by a series of footsteps and a familiar voice.

“If the information is true, Mrs. Clarke should be here.”

It was Shi Ye’s voice. She heard it too often. She was familiar with it.

However, after listening to Shi Ye’s voice, her heart skipped a beat.

If Shi Ye happened to be here, was Kenny Clarke here as well?

The next moment, she heard Kenny Clarke’s indifferent and cold voice, “Go in and search the place.”

She burned the villa yesterday. Now, when she heard his voice again, she felt distant.

She leaned against the door panel of cubicle, listened nervously to the footsteps and left. She went out and planned to run from the toilet.

When she was out, she saw a familiar Rolls Royce parked on the side the road.

She titled her head to look at the other side. Kenny Clarke was standing there with his men. He happened to bump into Jennifer Jones.

Jennifer Jones was facing Gloria Taylor while Kenny Clarke’s men faced the other way so that they didn’t see Gloria Taylor.

When Jennifer Jones saw Gloria Taylor, her eyes flickered.

Gloria Taylor quickly raised her finger to her lips to shush her, then hid behind a car.

She heard Kenny Clarke asked Jennifer Jones aloud, “Have you seen Gloria?”

Jennifer Jones lifted her eyes to where Gloria Taylor was standing. The, she looked up at Kenny Clarke provocatively, “What if I saw her and what if I didn’t?”

He sneered, “Although I don’t have the habit of hitting women, but it doesn’t mean that I don’t hit women.”

Jennifer Jones’ face changed when she heard the threat.

“You!” she snapped angrily, “I haven’t seen Gloria Taylor. She is not my wife. Why should I help you look after her?”

Gloria Taylor who was hiding behind a car silently prayed for Jennifer Jones.

She could feel the pressure from a distance.

Kenny Clarke asked gloomily, “Is that so?”

Gloria Taylor saw Jennifer Jones backed two steps with a pale face. Her voice trembled as she replied, “She’s gone. I don’t know where she went.”

She knew that Jennifer Jones wouldn’t be able to bear the pressure. Once she opened her mouth, Gloria Taylor quickly jumped into an alley behind the car.

When Kenny Clarke and his men looked back, Gloria Taylor had disappeared.

Kenny Clarke looked around and said in a heavy voice, “Search the place.” Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Shi Ye took his men to search for Gloria Taylor.

After his men left, Kenny Clarke stood there alone.

He could feel that Gloria Taylor was around.

This morning, Carl Cook called him and said that someone had sent a strange package to Sheng Ding Media. The sender wrote the letter KC next to the recipient. He thought that the package was meant to be sent to Kenny Clarke.

Kenny Clarke went to Sheng Ding Media and took a look at the package. There was a pen inside the box. Who would send it other than Gloria Taylor?

Yesterday, he had a fight with Carl Cook. After they calmed down, they came to the conclusion that Gloria Taylor didn’t try to kill herself. She was trying to escape.

However, if he didn’t see Gloria Taylor with his own eyes, he would still be uneasy.

Until he saw the package, his heart sank even deeper. Gloria Taylor had escaped.

Before long, Shi Ye came back with his men.

“Young Master.” Shi Ye who was approaching Kenny Clarke saw a hint of hope in his eyes, but he said truthfully, “I didn’t find the young lady.”

When he finished, he lowered his head. He dared not see Kenny Clarke’s expression.

Kenny Clarke didn’t sleep all night. He received the package in the morning.

He also thought that they would find Gloria Taylor, but they didn’t.

In a distance, Gloria Taylor turned away quietly.

As long as she had the heart, it was easy for her to find or to avoid someone.

It was not difficult.

Gloria Taylor went to the bus station. She hopped into the last bus to Linshi just in time.

After four hours drive, the bus arrived at the neighboring city. Gloria Taylor was sleepy.

When she got off the bus, it was already afternoon.

Gloria Taylor took the card Jennifer Jones gave her to withdraw money and found a place to eat.

The news broadcasted in the restaurant was about the Clarke family.

“It is reported that the Clarke family’s daughter-in-law committed suicide by setting the villa on fire yesterday. So far, no body has been found and the villa has been burned down seriously. A source said that the young lady might have lost her life in the fire.”

Gloria Taylor was a little surprised.

She was still alive, but the news seemed to directed public’s opinion to believe that she was killed in the fire.

Was it Kenny Clarke?

Kenny Clarke knew her way of thinking. Did he deliberately use the media to report this news?

After leaving Huyang City, Gloria Taylor felt a little relaxed. Kenny Clarke might not be able to find her today.

However, it was too naïve of her to think this way.

Kenny Clarke was an uncompromising person. He was resolute in finding Gloria Taylor.

Midnight, when she was sleeping, she heard noises from the corridor.

She heard footsteps and voices.

She was alert and immediately got up. She listened to the door for a moment and walked to the window.

She lived on the third floor. It was impossible for her to jump.

Did she need to tear the sheets and tie it like a rope for her to escape like what they did in the movies?

She could take the risk, but the baby inside her belly couldn’t.

Just when she was hesitating, someone smashed the door open with a bang.

Then, the lights in the room were turned on.

The blinding lights hurt her eyes. She raised her hands to her face to block the lights.

After she got used to the light, she turned to look at the door. Kenny Clarke was standing there.

“Gloria.”

He was standing at the doorway. The light in the room shined on his defined face. He looked cold and his eyes were dark as if he just caught a prey.

She knew that her escape was over.

After 30 hours of missing, Kenny Clarke found her.

However, she was unwilling. She stood still.

Kenny Clarke didn’t rush her, “Come.”

Gloria Taylor didn’t want to come over.

But, did she have other option?

She walked toward him. Kenny Clarke pecked her lips. He picked her up and took her out of the room.
