The Billionaire’s Unexpected Treasure

Chapter 44 The Smell of Human Smoke and Mirrors



Clayton picked up the glass and drained it in one go, he quietly felt the alcohol burning rampantly at his throat, yet he didn’t even blink his eyebrows.

He could not help but sneer, everyone thought Blair back he should be very happy, even he himself once thought so.

But now, everything has become different, and for the first time he feels overwhelmed.

“Jacob, what does it really feel like to love someone?”

Clayton murmured, and even he himself fell into contemplation.

There are times when he doesn’t even know what his feelings for Flora actually are, if not love his possessiveness of Flora makes him afraid of himself, if it is love, but what about Blair?

Clayton leaned back on the back of the sofa, and his tie was casually ripped away from him and scattered around his neck.

He thought he could control everything, but the only thing he hadn’t thought of was that he would lose his calculations here in a woman.

“This … I really do not know, and I have not loved, why? Do you think you have any change of feelings for Blair?”

Jacob guessed, also are so many years, how can not change?

And he does not have any feelings for Blair, perhaps from the standpoint of a good brother he would like to see Clayton well, but he never felt that Blair can give Clayton happiness, but Naive he just love unwilling to let go.

The years of this, Blair has also become the only obsession in his heart.

“I don’t know.”

Clayton powerlessly shook his head, he really have a change of feelings for Blair? Now even he himself is not sure.

But every time he got along with Blair he could no longer find the original kind of feeling, but rather incomparably depressed inside, and even some can not breathe, in contrast, with Flora when his heart will not come to peace.

Jacob frowned, no wonder his father asked him to find time to spend more time with Clayton, it seems that this guy this time is not as happy.

Jacob’s father is the Clayton family butler Tobby, their Troph’s Family from Jacob’s grandfather’s generation will follow Aiden Ward around, can say very loyal.

Clayton and Jacob’s relationship since childhood is very good, in Clayton nine years old that year encountered kidnapping, but also Jacob sacrificed his life to save him, almost lost his life, so Clayton will be more take Jacob as a brother.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Even when he went abroad to study, Jacob was always by his side, so there was no concept of master and servant between them since they were young, instead they were closer than blood brothers.

“So what are you going to do next, Blair is back, what about Flora?”

Jacob asked, so many years Flora to Clayton’s dedication to his eyes, but a good marriage has turned out to be “the goddess of God, the king of love”.

The reason Clayton was willing to marry Flora was to torment her, and now that Blair is back, Flora is afraid to be the victim of this entanglement.

“What if I said I had a crush on Flora?”

Clayton spoke out again, but Jacob almost did not fall out of the chair, he looked at Clayton in shock.

So the one who can make Clayton so painful is not Blair at all, but Flora?

This plot turn, surprisingly, makes him, a bystander also can not help but sigh.

However, the amazing ability of Jacob, but a veritable love idiot, he is more unlikely to think of any good attention.

In the end, it was Clayton who pulled him along, and the two of them went to the bar together, feeling the numbing sensation of alcohol.

Inside the villa, Flora sat alone on the sofa, she looked at the clock on the wall it was almost twelve o’clock.

“Miss Wood, you have an injury or go back to the house early to rest, I’m afraid the gentleman will not come back tonight.”

Tobby thought Flora was waiting here for Clayton again, so he couldn’t help but remind her.

“Thank you Tobby, I … am not waiting for him.”

Flora couldn’t help but lower her eyes, and her mouth couldn’t help but hook up a smile.

Just as her words fell, there was a sudden stirring at the door, Flora thought it was Zoey returning and rushed to the door to greet her.

“Uh … Flora hello, no break yet, Clayton’s drunk.”

At the door, Jacob strained to hold Clayton and staggered into the living room.

Tobby saw the situation, rushed to meet up, and Jacob together to support Clayton, afraid that Clayton fell.

“You brat, I asked you to take care of the gentleman, you even gave me the man to drink like this, you see how I will clean you up later.”

Tobby changed his usual kind appearance and gave a reprimand to Jacob.

“Dad, I was wronged, it was Clayton who wanted to drink, and I couldn’t stop his temper.”

Jacob hurriedly complained.

The first time Flora saw Clayton’s drunken appearance, she was a bit stunned.

“Tobby, I’ll do it.” Flora slowly walked up and looked at Tobby’s strained appearance and couldn’t help but say.

“It’s okay Miss Wood, you’re still injured.” Tobby turned to Flora and kindly soliloquized.

Flora looked at her gauze covered appearance and knew she would be of little help, and finally stopped making trouble with them as she quickly went up to the second floor and opened the bedroom door.

Jacob laid Clayton down on the bed, and he gave Flora a parting glance.

“You’re hurt?” His eyes swept Flora’s arm.

Flora subconsciously put her arm behind her back, “It’s fine.” Then she quickly walked into the bathroom and gingerly brought out a basin of warm water.

“I’ll do it.”

Tobby hurriedly took the warm water from her hand and dried Clayton with a wet towel.

“Can Miss Wood get me a sobriety pill?”

Tobby said softly.

“Okay.” Flora listened and quickly took out a medicine bottle from the second cabinet that ran aside to the bar, and very smoothly took out the sobriety medicine and handed it to Flora with water.

Jacob is even more shocked at all the performance of Flora, especially she lightly in Clayton’s room, and then look at Clayton’s cold room slightly filled with the smell of a little human fire, he quickly everything is clear.

“It’s not too hot.”

Flora looked at Clayton with concern, she handed the glass of water in her hand to Tobby, until she saw Clayton drink all the water in the glass, her tightened heart then relaxed a little.

And Jacob is very natural in a side survey Flora, he wrinkled his eyebrows looking at him, surprisingly some do not understand.

How powerful is the power of love that can make a person willing to endure so much torture …

“Yo, so lively.”

A voice suddenly came from the bedroom door.

Flora subconsciously turned her head and found Zoey leaning sideways against the door, watching everything that was happening inside the house.

“Zoey!”

Flora looked at Zoey with shock and surprise and hurried up to her.

“Flora, finally I see you, I still miss you.”

Zoey heartlessly ready to jump on Flora at once, but was Jacob a moment to pull from behind.

“Can’t you see she’s hurt? Why are you still so crazy?”

Jacob could not help but lecture her, and when he turned to Flora again, his eyes were slightly deep.
