Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss -
Chapter 1270 - Chapter 1270 Chapter 1242 A Worry Resolved
Chapter 1270: Chapter 1242 A Worry Resolved Chapter 1270: Chapter 1242 A Worry Resolved “A man?” Kiara felt a bit strange. Rico Clark has friends?
“Yes, a young man. You guys had just left for a few minutes when he arrived. He wasn’t in there for five minutes before Clark came out carrying a bag with him. The bag looked pretty big, so I asked him where he was going, and he said he was going to get treatment and wouldn’t be back for a while.”
“What did the man look like?”
“I didn’t get a good look, he was wearing a hat and sunglasses, but he was pretty tall.”
Kiara found the situation strange and talked it over with Mario Yuno on the way home.
“Clark’s kind of illness would require a lot of money, so why didn’t he ask me for money if he was going for treatment?”
Mario Yuno found it puzzling too, “Give Arlong a call and see if he asked him for any money.”
Rico Clark was the kind of man who would borrow from anyone around him. How could he possibly miss out on Arlong and Kiara?
“Arlong, has Rico Clark contacted you?” Kiara got straight to the point.
“He just hung up the phone with me, and I was finding it strange.” Arlong had just taken a call from his father, and then Kiara called.
“What did he say to you? Did he ask for money?”
“No, I specifically asked him if he had enough money for his treatment, and he said someone was treating him for free. What’s weirder is that he told me when he comes back, he’d give me a large sum of money to get married… Sis, has he gone mad?”
“If he contacts you again, report it to your brother-in-law immediately.”
“Sis, he won’t be… in trouble, will he?”
Arlong’s feelings for his father were complicated. His father hadn’t been very bad to him; his dislike for his father stemmed purely from his mother and sister’s influence, because Clark had always favored him. Arlong couldn’t understand the hatred between Kiara and Clark.
So, even though Clark had done many wrong things, when Arlong heard that Clark might need a bone marrow transplant in the future, his first reaction was to offer to get tested. Disliking someone and wishing for their death were two different things.
“We don’t know the exact situation yet, only that he left with a suspicious person. Next time he contacts you, you need to discreetly find out where he is, and also gain his trust as much as possible. I’m afraid he’s been deceived and could die out there without anyone to claim his body.”
After giving instructions to her brother, Kiara hung up the phone, also feeling puzzled. Where in the world would someone be so kind as to help Rico Clark?
“I’m going to check the surveillance footage at the intersection to see who took him away.” Mario Yuno also felt there was something fishy about the situation and immediately set about finding someone to handle it.
But no matter how influential Camden was, he found not even a trace of Rico Clark’s whereabouts. It was as if he had vanished from the face of the earth.
While they couldn’t find Clark to clear his memory, Yuzo Joel was still lying in the hospital, could die at any moment, and Kiara, pregnant and troubled by all these messy issues, exerted herself. The child in her womb probably also felt the mother’s anxiety and started moving back and forth on its own initiative without waiting for the father to announce the menu.
Seeing this couldn’t go on, Mario Yuno made a quick decision, turned the car, and headed straight for the Q City Intermediate Court, going directly to Robert Johnson ‘Father’ upon arrival.
Robert Johnson was still at work when he saw Mario Yuno bring Kiara over at that time of day, he knew there was something up and took the two of them to his office, and with the door closed it was just the three of them.
“Uncle Liao Walker, do you have the convenience to move house recently?” Mario Yuno cut straight to the chase.
“Move house?” Robert Johnson was taken aback, living just fine, why would he need to move?
“There’s been a situation recently…” Mario Yuno withheld the complex details of Kiara’s background, simply stating that Rico Clark couldn’t get any money from Kiara and might become enraged and run to Kiara’s mother to speak ill, in order to prevent Rico Clark from making trouble, it would be best to move.
Upon hearing this, Robert Johnson laughed.
“Edward Wheeler, this rotten idea doesn’t sound like something you’d come up with. I can move my nest, but can I also run away from my job?”
With a target as big as the Intermediate Court right here, if Rico Clark came over and followed them, then moving would be in vain.
Mario Yuno also knew his idea wasn’t very comprehensive, but having some preparation was better than passively waiting in the same place.
“Actually, I was just about to talk to you and Giorno about this, but I hadn’t had the chance to notify you both before you showed up on your own. I got my physical exam results the day before yesterday, take a look.”
Robert Johnson pulled out a stack of papers from his drawer and handed them to Kiara and Mario Yuno, and both felt a blockage in their hearts when they saw them. Kiara watched Robert Johnson, wanting to say more but hesitated.
“Haha, got scared, didn’t you? The doctor told me that I’ve been under too much pressure for too long, wound too tight, hardly a part of my body without issues. He said if I kept on working like this, I would collapse on the job sooner or later. I thought about it, and since I’m almost at that age anyway, I figured I might as well retire early and give younger folks more room.”
Robert Johnson originally wanted to work a few more years in his organization, but his health was deteriorating, and the pressure of his profession was immense, causing substantial physical harm. He had thought of dedicating his life to his career before reconstituting his family, but now living peacefully with Kiara’s mother and about to become a grandfather, he started to consider retirement. He was hesitating about how to tell the children at home when Kiara and Mario Yuno came to him.
Kiara and Mario Yuno had come under great pressure, but didn’t expect things to go so smoothly. Surprised and happy, they exchanged glances, and Kiara spoke.
“Uncle Liao Walker, if you decide to retire, would you consider moving to Linville for your retirement? I have several houses there that are already furnished, and with you and my mom there to keep an eye on Giorno and me, you could offer us young people some guidance in our work and help take care of our daily lives.”
With her watching over, Camden such a huge umbrella for protection, who would be afraid of Rico Clark causing trouble?
“Haha, that won’t be necessary. Your mother and I have savings; affording a change of house is not a problem. I have already submitted my application, and by the end of the month, once the handover is complete, I can leave.”
With one worry resolved, Kiara’s expression was visibly more relaxed than before, and after chatting with Robert Johnson a little longer, they left.
With Robert Johnson taken care of, there was no need to worry about the mother’s side. Kiara’s mother couldn’t wait to pack up and move to her daughter’s place, not the same to be in a different city despite having a car, it always felt inconvenient to travel back and forth, but now they could kill two birds with one stone.
“I’ll get someone to help Uncle Liao Walker pack up in the next few days; you don’t need to worry about that. I’ll also take care of the moving arrangements,” Mario Yuno teased by flicking Kiara’s nose, “This must make you happy.”
Kiara too had a relieved expression, letting out a long breath, “Definitely, it’s such a relief to have solved one problem. You just make sure to check who Rico Clark is hanging out with; as soon as Uncle Liao Walker moves, I’ll have my mom change her phone number. That way, he won’t be able to find her, and now all that’s left is to deal with Master, uh, Yuzo… that thing.”
Kiara felt extremely awkward. Nothing seemed appropriate to call him; not Master, nor his name, and to call him Dad… just thinking of the word sent shivers down her spine, she just couldn’t bring herself to say it, it felt so strange.
