Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire

Chapter 374: Chapter 374: Looking at the Rival in Love

“Smack—”

A crisp sound echoed through the sprawling living room, abruptly cutting off Clara Shaw’s words.

Her cheek was slapped aside, burning with a sharp pain. She raised her eyes in disbelief to look at the person in front of her.

“Dad…”

Nathaniel Shaw was so enraged his chest heaved violently. He yelled sternly, “Shut your mouth! You’ve become more and more unruly! What did I tell you before you came here? Did you forget it all?”

Tears immediately streamed down Clara’s face, her heart filled with grievance.

This was the first time her father had hit her.

And, what’s worse, it was because of that little wretch, Serena Summers!

She tilted her head back, tears uncontrollably falling, her accusatory gaze meeting Nathaniel’s eyes.

“Dad, I just wanted to stay here to keep Grandpa company. Is that wrong too?”

“Staying is not wrong. But tell me, are you staying here for Grandpa’s sake, or for something else?”

Clara was suddenly choked by his words, her gaze timidly dropping.

She did have another agenda, but she couldn’t admit it.

At that moment, Adrian Holt suddenly stood up and walked over to Clara.

She felt a shadow appear before her eyes.
