CHAPTER 793: CHAPTER 793: HER INNOCENCE IS GONE

Clara Thornton returned to the Keating Family, feeling utterly desolate.

Her complexion was terrible, pale to the point of bloodlessness, like a piece of white paper.

Eleanor Sterling saw her like this and immediately asked worriedly, "What’s wrong? Weren’t you going to the pharmaceutical launch event? Did something happen?"

Upon seeing Eleanor, Clara, who had held back her grievances all night, finally broke down like floodwaters.

She hugged Eleanor and started crying fiercely.

Eleanor dared not ask further, only patting her back to comfort her, deciding to inquire once her emotions had stabilized a bit.

In her haste earlier, she hadn’t noticed that Clara was draped in a man’s jacket.

Eleanor’s heart started to harbor some unpleasant thoughts; could it be that something bad had happened unexpectedly?

Clara cried for a while before choking out, "Eleanor, I’m tainted, uh..."

Eleanor firmly pressed her lips together, hastily asking, "What exactly happened? Tell me all about it carefully."

Clara then recounted the entire situation, and after hearing it, Eleanor was infuriated.

She was known for fiercely protecting her own; anyone who dared to harm her best friend, even if it was someone from the Foster Family, she wouldn’t hesitate to act.

"You take a good rest first, I’ll help you resolve this. I’ll, find a... Never mind, go to the medical room, I’ll thoroughly examine you myself."

Eleanor initially thought about having a doctor perform a checkup but reconsidered, thinking it was better to do it herself because she didn’t want this incident to be exposed and affect Clara’s reputation.

If something irreversible had really happened, then the subsequent matters need to be properly prepared for.

At this moment, Clara’s mind was already a chaotic mess, unable to think further, only able to do whatever Eleanor instructed.

A moment later, Eleanor completed a full checkup for Clara, looking at her with a complex expression, "Why do you think your innocence is gone?"

Clara, with tearful eyes, said, "I was pinned down by Henry Foster, then he slapped me, and I lost consciousness. When I woke up, I only saw Thomas Quincy, and my clothes were torn, and my butt was still sore..."

"..."

Eleanor took a deep breath and gently said, "Rest well, I’ll go find Thomas Quincy and ask him."

After saying that, she walked out wanting to find Thomas Quincy for clarification.

What exactly happened that made Clara think she had lost her innocence when, in fact, she was perfectly fine!

While on the way, she was stopped by Alaric Faulkner.

Seeing his wife looking so agitated, Alaric couldn’t help but ask, "What’s up? I saw you and Clara Thornton go into the medical room earlier. Did something happen?"

Eleanor snorted coldly, "I’ll tell you about it later. Right now, I need to go find Thomas Quincy and settle this."

Alaric dared not obstruct Eleanor and could only follow her, the two heading together to Thomas Quincy’s residence.

At this time, Thomas Quincy had just returned and stayed in his room, instructing his subordinates over the phone to transfer Henry Foster, when he suddenly saw Eleanor Sterling and Alaric Faulkner come in.

Anger flashing in Eleanor’s eyes as she looked at him, gave him the impression that she was about to settle scores after autumn.

"Alright, let’s leave it at that." Thomas Quincy hung up the phone.

He looked at Eleanor and said, "Is there something you need? You look quite energetic; those unaware might think your poison has been detoxified."

Eleanor glared at him disdainfully.

"I’m asking you, what exactly is the situation with Clara Thornton?"
