Chapter 243: Fate revealed your dirty secrets to me.
Claudia and Keith were quite satisfied that the authority issued a warrant against Theodore. They believed, with the footage they had submitted to the police, that Theodore would be proven guilty of kidnapping O’Neil and torturing him to death.
"He won’t be able to get out of jail in this lifetime," Keith said with confidence. "If he tries to act smart, we’ll use his grandfather and his beloved Bella to threaten him."
Claudia chuckled, a sly glint flashing in her eyes. "He thought he could defeat us. But he forgets that we are old players. Defeating us won’t be easy. Now, he will spend the rest of his life in jail, and we will enjoy the massive fortune of the Reids."
"Yes, darling." Keith pulled her into his arms. "We can finally be together. I can’t wait to announce our wedding." He pressed his lips against hers.
Claudia kissed him back fervently, slipping her arms around his neck. "Let’s go home first," she murmured between the kisses. "We need to tell Gina about us." Worry lines creased her brow. "I hope she will understand us."
Keith nodded reassuringly. "She is our daughter. She will understand us." He turned his focus on the road and pulled the car away.
They reached home in no time. Claudia had come there many times, but this was the first time she was nervous about entering the house. What if Gina was inside? How was she going to start explaining her?"
Sensing her anxiety, Keith reached out and held her hand. "Don’t worry, I am with you. Gina is a sweet girl. She will be shocked at first, of course. But we love her. Our love will make her understand."
Hearing his words, Claudia found her confidence to face Gina. She nodded, smiling a little. "We have got this."
They walked in, hand in hand. Their steps came to a halt when they noticed Gina in the hall sitting on the sofa with a gloomy face. The confidence Claudia had felt just now vanished altogether under her fierce glare, and she immediately pulled her hand back from Keith’s grasp.
