Chương 265: A Heir For Marcel

If only Clara said those words in front of Marcel, she would have hidden her face in shame from the look on his face. Marcel had his signature poker face on but one could tell he thought of Clara's suggestion as a joke.

However, he still listened patiently until she was done speaking by asking, "What do you think?"

But to Clara's surprise, no response came from Marcel's side and she feared he hung up on her only to peer up at the screen and discover that the call was ongoing.

"Marcel...?" She called his name worriedly.

"Clara..." Marcel finally spoke up and his tone was so heavy that her heart missed a beat. Had he seen through her by chance?. 

"What?" Her reply was almost a whisper. The sudden tension in the air bothered her. 

"Do not poke the hornet's nest," Marcel said to her gravely. 

"W-what?" 

Although it was an idiom, she got the message. Marcel was warning her not to do anything reckless.
