No Strings Attached novel (Clara and Ian)

Half an hour later, Chase rushed into the study, placing a small object on an electronic device.

lan's youthful voice immediately filled the room. "Hey, I'm lan. You need to grow up fast because when you do, I can marry you. This necklace is my promise to you. You must always wear it."

A woman's voice followed soon after. "Sweetheart, it's Mom. This necklace was personally designed by your Aunt Leonora, you know. She even secretly recorded lan's voice for you. When you're older, you can listen to it and have a conversation with lan from the past. Isn't that magical? I hope you two grow up together, then get married and have a lifetime of happiness. lan, remember the promise you made when you were little. Take good care of my baby when she grows up, and don't let her suffer even the slightest bit. Bless you both."

By this time, Clara was already in tears. She had always looked at her mother's photos and watched her performances. There were very few real videos of her speaking.

This was the first time she heard her mother's voice. Her voice was so gentle and kind it made one feel blissful just listening to it.

Clara clutched the corner of her dress tightly, her eyes misty as she looked at Casey. "Dad, it's Mom. She left me a message. She hoped lan and I would be happy."

Casey hugged her to comfort her. "See? Your mom has always been rooting for you and lan."

Clara quickly wiped away her tears and asked, "Is there anything else you've found?"

Looking at the computer's data, Chase said, "This is a mini recording device, and it's also a tracking system. I think the person who

designed this necklace wanted tonet

protect you from a young age.

As long as you wear this necklace, you can be found no matter where you go. It's just that no one discovered this secret."

Hearing this, Clara felt like she had an epiphany. She held the two blueprints and said, "Aunt Katherine designed this diamond differently from the others, and it also matches the actual necklace. Leonora's design has all the diamonds looking the same. So, only the real Leonora and my mom would know this design. My mom discovered Leonora was a fake through this detail, which led to her demise."

Chase nodded in agreement. "It all makes sense now. Katherine was the woman who had an agreement with your mom. However, if we

follow this logic, Katherine was

replaced after making the neel.net

and tan and Greta should be her children. Then, why do the DNA reports say lan has a mother-son relationship with Leonoradna?"

Clara froze for a moment, then said, "I got it. It's because Leonora and Katherine's DNA are the same, and that's why the paternity test was valid. Dad, we need to hurry to the company. I want to expose Leonora's true identity."

Then, she rushed out the door.

Casey immediately followed, worried, "Clara, the company is in chaos right now. I'm afraid you might get hurt." "Don't worry. I have bodyguards, and I won't let anyone hurt me. I have to save lan. He's not an illegitimate child." Chase followed. "I'll take you there. I'll protect you. If anyone dares to hurt you, I'll take them down!"

The three of them got into the car, with bodyguards protecting them front and back, driving toward Hayes Corporation.
