BXBX NOVEL Chapter 535: 535: Jacob Clark’s Successful Plan
Hearing the sound of the door opening in the Entrance Hall, he immediately went to greet them, “Lord Baron, Ms. Clark, you’re back.”
He discreetly examined Enna Clark, noticing that she was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Baron Lawrence, hesitating to speak.
Scott Harris had been following Baron Lawrence since he was young, and the two had developed a tacit understanding over time. Baron Lawrence understood that Scott had something to say with just a glance, and indifferently stated, “Wait for me in the study room.”
“Yes.”
He changed into slippers, and entered the study room.
As soon as he walked in, Scott Harris bowed his head abruptly, with crossed hands in front of him, and formally apologized, “Lord Baron, I’m sorry!”
Baron Lawrence furrowed his brows, waiting for him to continue.
Scott Harris spoke word by word, “This morning, the director of South Airlines called me stating that there was an urgent dispute and asked me to go there as soon as possible. Consequently, I asked Ms. Clark to help me send the young master to the school. I just got the news that a group of reporters ambushed Ms. Clark at the gate of the Brilliant Nursery School this morning. One of the reporters asked Ms. Clark some very outrageous questions, and a physical conflict ensued. If it hadn’t been for the coincidental presence of the Habsden Family Duke who stepped in to help, it could have led to an irreparable situation.”
He apologized with a dispirited expression, “Lord Baron, I’m sorry. I didn’t anticipate this happening. It was my negligence. This morning, I shouldn’t have let Ms. Clark take the young master to the school alone. No matter what, I should have accompanied them.”
“Enna Clark was ambushed by reporters at the entrance of the Brilliant School this morning, how come I didn’t know!” Baron Lawrence’s face turned green, with every word seemingly squeezed out from the gaps in his teeth.
Why didn’t he know about this?
Why didn’t Enna tell him!
“What’s the deal with those reporters? How did they know about Enna’s itinerary?” He was even more concerned about this!
Because Scott Harris had asked someone to investigate immediately, he was able to answer as soon as Baron Lawrence asked, “It was Ms. Clark’s father, President Clark of the Clark Corporation, who leaked the information.”
“Ever since the last incident, he has been investigating Ms. Clark and somehow learned about the existence of the young master. He leaked this information to the reporters, which is why they showed up at the school gate to ambush Ms. Clark.”
It was Jacob Clark again! Baron Lawrence’s eyes flashed with fury, igniting a storm in his heart. His fists clenched tightly, suppressing his bloodlust, he coldly said, “Did we find out why the Duke of Habden happened to be at the gate of the Brilliant Nursery School?”
“This… I’m not sure at the moment. Members of the Habsden Family are famously mysterious, and tracking their movements isn’t easy. We have yet to know why the Duke happened to be at the nursery school gate.”
Baron Lawrence’s brows furrowed even more, and an instinct told him that it wasn’t so simple, “Look into it further! Make sure to find out if it’s an coincidence!”
If it was a coincidence, then it was too much of one.
If it wasn’t, then he needed to meet this Duke!
He pursed his lips tightly, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and his voice unexpectedly lowered, “Scott Harris, what do you think Jacob Clark’s intention is in asking the reporters to ambush Enna?”
“That … “Scott Harris quickly raised his head and just as quickly bowed again, “I think it’s to distract public attention.”
“He already knows that Ms. Clark and you, Lord Baron, are together, but he doesn’t know that Ms. Clark has legally become the Young Madam of the Lawrence Corporation. After learning about the existence of the young master, he wanted to break the news through the reporters, hoping that the reporters would dig further into your affairs. This way, he could solidify Ms. Clark’s identity as the ‘mistress’, add fuel to the fire of the wrist-slitting incident from last time, and shift the direction of public opinion towards a side that is not favorable to Ms. Clark. Additionally, he can alert the Old Lord, relying on the Old Lord to restrain you, to give his company a breather.”
