After a while, Elliot sneered on the phone. "What do you think?" "Me?" Lara was a little surprised, and she didn't expect Elliot to ask her in reply. She bit her lip, and her ears blushed scarlet quickly because she was shy. She said in a soft voice, "Of course I want to marry you soon. After all, we have been together for a long time..." "Since you want, let's get married!" His bland and calm words shocked Lara and made her overjoyed. "Really? Elliot, you agreed?" Elliot looked out of the window indifferently. Seeing the crowded people and vehicles in the night, he didn't know why, but he suddenly felt very lonely and sad. It was like the fire that had been burning in the bottom of his heart had gone out little by little as time passed by. He said blandly, "Of course. You have been with me for so many years and you once got pregnant for me. Although you had a miscarriage, I should be responsible for you, shouldn't I?"
Seeing that he didn't mean to object, Chloe felt relieved and agreed with a smile. They began to eat happily. But at this moment, the door of the box was suddenly pushed open. The clicking of the camera flash sounded, and then countless reporters came in with cameras and microphones. "Mr. Duncan, I heard that your family and the Chapman family specially meet today to discuss your marriage with Lara. Is that right?" "Have you decided your wedding date? When is it?" "As the president of the Duncan Group and the famous actress in the entertainment circle, how will you hold your wedding?" "I heard that you two are childhood sweethearts and have been together for many years. Can you tell us about your love story?" "..." Countless voices sounded. The reporters kept clicking and the camera flashes made them unable to open their eyes. However, the faces of everyone sitting there were changed. Conner's face darkened completely when the
The more Elliot watched, the colder his heart became. Lara stood aside and felt very nervous. Seeing his increasingly gloomy expression, she walked over slowly and said cautiously, "Elliot, I'm sorry. I don't know that many reporters would follow me there today." Elliot raised his head to look at her and sneered with disappointment and harshness. "You really don't know that?" Lara's heart skipped a beat. Looking into his eyes, she felt as if she had been seen through. The expression in her eyes changed slightly and she nodded. "I really don't know. If I knew it, I would remind you in advance." "Oh? Really? I thought that you deliberately arranged those reporters outside just to take the pictures of us! It seems that I thought too much and misunderstood you." Elliot's voice was grim, and it sounded that he didn't think so at all. For some reason, Lara was a little guilty and frightened. She forced a smile and took a step back.
"F*ck! What's going on? Is it said that it was Clarissa who was beaten? Why was Lara also beaten?" "Lara's injury looks pretty serious! Is she right?" "You can see the injury appraisal report. It's the second-degree minor injury." "Minor injury? That should be fine!" "Sh*t! Whether you believe it or not, a broken nose is considered to be a minor injury. As long as the arms and legs are not broken, it is a minor injury. Don't you know the common sense?" "So, in the previous video, Lara was wronged!" "No way! She really slapped Clarissa in the video. As for why she was beaten, I don't know." "Lara is so kind and so cute, but she was beaten ruthlessly. Shouldn't her company and the crew give us an explanation? Who beat her? That person must be punished!" "Yes, I agree! The person must be dealt with severely!" ...... Lara's fans waited for a long time, and Lara finally responded to this matter. They all felt distressed when
Lara could live in peace for a short period of time. However, the peace was broken the next morning. A reporter pretended to be a staff member in the crew, and stopped Lara on her way from the hotel to the studio in the morning. "Lara, can you respond to the various rumors about you online now?" "I heard that you and Elliot are not childhood sweethearts, and he was originally engaged to your sister Clarissa, but you ruined their relationship, so he broke up with Clarissa and became your boyfriend. Is that true?" Lara didn't expect that the reporter could sneak in though she had taken strict precautions. She was panicked and didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Sophia stepped forward, stood in front of the camera, and roared at the reporter, "I'm sorry. Lara is in a hurry to go to the set now and can't answer your question." But the reporter had been working in this circle for many years, and he was very smart. How could he leave after hea
Seeing her so calm, Lauren was so mad. "Clarissa! It's not your first day to be in this circle, and we both know how terrible public opinion is. Since you want to be an actress, you can't ignore this." "Let me tell you. Sometimes it's easy to control the public opinion, but once it is out of control, even Mr. Jordan may not be able to help you reverse the situation." "There's no other way. Even if you're rich, you can't let them shut up! What about your future then? Should it be ruined by that b*tch like this? " Clarissa smiled, feeling a little warm in heart. "Lauren, thank you for caring about me so much. I know. Don't worry." "You know nothing! Lara's fans are so happy now, but you don't want to take any actions. How can I not be worried?" Clarissa thought for a while and said, "Actually, I don't have to be an actress. I like a stable life, and I don't like the wandering lifestyle of stars. You know me." "You!" Lauren was so angr
"Lara thought that as long as I wouldn't tell the truth, she would be all right. But she didn't know that the mistakes she has made are like a patched fishing net. Even if she tries to fix it, it will be broken one day." "At that time, she will suffer more than she thinks! Losing the shares is much sadder than getting a bad reputation!" Nora looked at her and saw her saying these words in a light and calm tone. She felt that the surrounding air was a little colder, and she couldn't help but shudder. "Clarissa, you are horrible." Clarissa raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "Nora, your words make me sad. Being kind to my enemies is cruel to myself, isn't it?" Nora swallowed and nodded, "Yes, I understand. When I was training in the army before, my instructor said the same." Clarissa smiled, "It's good that you can understand. It's late. Go back and rest early." Nora nodded, and then got up and left. The next day. The public opinio
In short, no matter what they were thinking in their minds, they all looked happy and harmonious on the surface. Lara looked away and lowered her eyes, only to feel that her heart was beating violently. Her heart was overwhelmed by great joy, and she felt that she was about to faint due to happiness. Elliot came to sense from the brief shock, but he understood his father's intentions in an instant. He tensed his face. No matter how unwilling he was in heart, he couldn't say anything else at this time. After Conner settled this matter thoroughly with Chloe, he left with Elliot. As soon as they came out of the Chapman family, Elliot asked, "Dad, why did you promise them? Didn't you always want me to marry Lara? What is going on now?" Conner looked at him with a cold face and said solemnly, "Do you think I am willing? But now I have no choice!" "To be honest, now we're facing a major crisis. An extremely mysterious and well-funded overseas group h
