Seeing Clara’s interaction with Logan, Horace was a little upset.
She was still a little distant from him, but she was so close to Logan.
What Horace didn’t know, however, was that Clara only talked to Logan like that after the two of them were reconciled.
This was not the case before.
After a quick meal, Logan got a call. Before leaving, he said that he would soon come back to help Clara move things.
Clara had said she was just joking.
But Logan insisted. So, she could only wait for Logan at home.
After Logan left, they rested on the couch. Then, Isaac came over and kneel down in front of the two of them.
“Mr. Kirkland, Mrs. Kirkland,” Isaac said. Clara looked at him, wondering what he was going to say.
But Horace didn’t even look at Isaac.
Horace thought he had been merciful enough to a person who betrayed him. He didn’t want to have any connection with Isaac anymore.
“Mr. Kirkland, Mrs. Kirkland. I knew that what I did was unforgivable. But it concerned my parents’ safety, I had no choice.”
Hearing this, the anger in Horace’s heart had risen.
“But if I were given another chance, I would surely save them in all way possible. I won’t be a traitor. I must save my parents but not in a despicable way. It’s a shame to do things against morality.”
Isaac had thought about it for the entire night, and now he finally said it. It was up to Clara and Horace whether to forgive him.
“So now I don’t ask for Mr. Kirkland and Mrs. Kirkland’s forgiveness. Send me to prison and let me get the punishment I deserve. I know it would dirty your hand to punish me, Mr. Kirkland, Mrs. Kirkland. So, I can use this method to give me peace of mind.”
Isaac was earnest. He didn’t seem to be acting. He confessed in a helplessly way.
But when Horace heard this, he became even angrier.
Horace believed that Isaac was seeking his forgiveness. If Isaac felt sorry, he should not appear in front of him again.
But instead of doing so, Isaac came straight to him for repentance.
“People who betrayed me never had a good ending. Prison? You think too simply. I have a hundred ways to punish you. Just because you did one thing wrong.”
Horace hated betrayal the most in his life. He chose Isaac as his assistant and trusted him, but Isaac betrayed him.
“Mr. Kirkland.” Isaac lowered his head.
Isaac knew how would Horace punish a betrayer. Yet he only gave him three kicks this time.
Yet Isaac did not want Horace to be too angry. It was bad for health.
“Horace, forget it.” Clara, who had been watching, suddenly spoke.
Isaac looked up at her in shock, and Horace looked at her with some surprise too.
Isaac betrayed him, causing their five years of separation, and now she wanted him to forgive?
Horace couldn’t understand why Clara said this.
Clara explained.
“First of all, he’s your subordinate, you failed to protect his parents, and that’s the first mistake. Second, he is bitter, his parents have been kidnapped, and he was right to be anxious.”
Clara thought that Isaac made mistakes, but not big ones. And in the end, he chose to tell the truth.
He was worthy of forgiveness.
“Well, I’ll listen to you.” Clara’s words made sense. Yet to Horace, betrayal was a betrayal. There were no excuses.
However, in order to make Clara happy, he suppressed his anger.
“Isaac, from now on, you’ll stay with Horace. But remember, don’t act too far.” Clara pulled Horace up and went upstairs to check Neo, who was playing with the babysitter.
They were gone, but Isaac, who remained there, knelt for a long time. Isaac was really impressed by Clara this time.
He respected her from the bottom of his heart.
He was even more sorry for what he had done to Clara.
But since Clara forgave him, Isaac decided to be more loyal to Horace and Clara.
He would prove to them that he wouldn’t make the same mistake again.
He would be sincere to them.
“Mr. Hutchinson.” As soon as Logan arrived at the company, he saw an assistant calling him at the door.
“What happened?” Logan didn’t know what important things would happen early in the morning.
Along the way, the employees greeted Logan, and Logan nodded in return.
“The police came and said it was for the kidnapping case three days ago.” The assistant also heard some gossip but did not know the details.
Yet now the police came, he didn’t know what to do.
So, he called Logan over early in the morning.
“Okay, it’s all right. I’ll take a look. “Logan had already informed the police department when he found Neo, and now he didn’t know what they were here for.
Logan walked into the office and saw three police officers sitting there.
Seeing Logan enter, the three policemen stood up, saluted, and then asked.
“Hello, Mr. Hutchinson, we know that the kidnapping case has been solved, but the higher-ups ask us to bring back the kidnapper. He must be punished.”
One of the leading policemen spoke, his tone full of respect.
“Why? I have already closed the case, this has nothing to do with the police station, right?” Logan asked, not knowing what they wanted to do.
“Well, Mr. Hutchinson, our chief wanted to help.” A policeman in the back answered Logan’s question quickly.
Logan immediately understood.
They were trying to curry favor with him.
Logan had heard that the current police chief was losing his power. That must be the reason why they came here.
