Clara sighed. The exhaustion of filming made her feel bored with this family.
She now began to regret why she was so anxious to marry Sammy.
She was very young, okay? In showbiz, no female celebrity was married at such a young age.
No matter how young she was, she would still be labeled as a “married woman”.
Clara sat on the sofa, pounding her legs.
“Clara, close your eyes. I have something to give you.” Sammy walked out of the bedroom.
Clara was scornful of such a childish action. “If you want to give something to me, then give it to me. Why do I need to close my eyes? I’m not a kid.”
Clara’s words embarrassed Sammy because he had carefully prepared a gift.
As if sensing Sammy’s embarrassment, Clara could only nod her head, “Alright, alright, I’ll close my eyes.”
Clara closed her eyes.
Sammy walked up to Clara, took out a red velvet box from his pocket, and placed it in front of her.
“Can I open my eyes?”
“Yes.”
As soon as Clara opened her eyes, she saw the small box in Sammy’s hand and then widened her eyes in disbelief.
“Sammy, is this for me?”
“Of course, it’s for you. Otherwise, who should I give it to?”
Clara immediately took it from Sammy and opened the box. Inside was a diamond ring!
It was a five-carat diamond ring!
The bright diamond gave off a charming luster under the light.
Clara immediately widened her eyes, “Wow … Sammy, thank you! Put it on for me!”
Sammy took out the ring and put it on Clara’s ring finger.
Clara raised her hand to study the diamond ring on her hand, completely different from the listlessness when she just entered the door.
“Sammy, why do you want to give me a ring?”
Sammy smiled faintly. “When we got married, my parents chose the ring. Because I didn’t give you a ring and didn’t prepare a birthday gift for you last time, so I made it up. Do you like it?”
“I like it! I like it very much!”
Clara leaned over and kissed Sammy on the cheek.
She stood up, picked up her phone, and took several photos with her ring.
Sammy lowered his head and smiled bitterly. Thinking of what Serina said, he thought it was reasonable.
“If you give her a big diamond ring, she must be happy!”
Clara immediately posted her ring on Weibo. Naturally, she garnered many compliments.
She liked such praise and the envy of others.
The night fell silent.
Clara’s phone at the head of the bed vibrated twice. Clara, who was in light sleep, swiftly got up. Seeing the number on the screen, she muted her phone.
She looked at Sammy who was sleeping beside her, quietly got out of bed, and went to the living room.
After a long time, Sammy turned over and subconsciously placed his arm on the side. It was empty!
He opened his eyes in a daze and found no Clara. Vaguely hearing the sound coming from outside, he got out of bed.
“What’s wrong with you? I have given you five hundred thousand. What else do you want?”
“You spent it so quickly? Do you think I’m an ATM and you can get as much money as you want?”
“I’ll give you another five hundred thousand. I’m not famous, so I can’t earn much. I really can’t afford more!”
“I’ll give you within three days. Don’t let anyone find you. Otherwise, I’ll be caught and so do you.”
Sammy was dumbfounded to hear this. As soon as Clara hung up the phone, he quickly went back to bed and lay back down.
What happened to Clara? Why did it feel like she was being threatened? Who called her?
Why was she so mysterious?
After a while, Clara returned and lay down.
Sammy did not move, pretending to be asleep.
But Clara was unable to fall asleep. Even Sammy could feel her frustration because she kept tossing around and sighing.
Sammy turned around and hugged her. “What’s wrong? Can’t you sleep?”
Clara was startled, “Oh, no, nothing. Maybe I’m used to staying up late in the crew. I’m not used to it when I come back.”
“It’s getting late. Let’s sleep.”
“Sammy, I’ve been short of money lately. Can you…” This was the first time she asked Sammy for money, so Clara was a little awkward.
“You don’t need to be so polite. How much do you want?”
“Five hundred thousand. I’ve had a lot of work recently. I want to buy clothes, cosmetics, and so on. I’m busy and have another assistant. Everything will be fine after I get paid.”
Clara explained in a panic.
“I will ask my assistant to transfer it to your account tomorrow. It is my responsibility to support you. Let’s sleep.”
“Sammy, you are so nice.” Clara snuggled in Sammy’s arms.
Sammy, on the other hand, had other thoughts.
The Nathan Group.
In the President’s office.
Sammy tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically. He had maintained this posture for the entire morning.
The secretary knocked on the door and walked in. “Mr. Sammy, are you looking for me?”
Sammy stopped knocking and looked up. “Help me investigate something.”
“I’ll do as you order.”
“Go track down all of this person’s accounts and check her recent financial dealings as well as the relevant information about her.”
Sammy pushed a piece of paper to the front, and the secretary approached to take a look. It was Clara’s name!
The secretary was shocked. “Mr. Sammy, this…”
“This matter can’t be made public. Other than you and me, don’t let anyone know about it.”
“Yes, sir.”
“In addition, after finding the account she recently transferred, follow up the clue to check the information of the account holder. I want to know who this is.”
“Okay, I will do it right away.”
Sammy nodded and the secretary walked out.
—
Polaris City.
On the huge balcony of the apartment, Serina was sitting on the swing chair, wearing a pair of huge sunglasses to protect her eyes against the sun.
Ernest was on one side peeling oranges for her. He stuffed one into Serina’s mouth every time he peeled one.
Serina swung happily, drinking fruit juice and eating oranges, with a buddy serving beside her.
“Hey, Ernie, you are cruel. I can’t move my feet with injuries. You don’t even come and see me!”
She had made an oath today that if Ernest didn’t come, she would break with him. Otherwise, she probably still couldn’t see him now!
“I’ve been very busy recently.” Ernest broke off a small piece of orange before putting it into Serina’s mouth.
“What the hell are you busy with?” Serina sat up.
“Why are you here? Who bought this apartment for you?” Ernest suddenly asked.
