Lara nodded. "Grandfather, I've been married once. Besides, so many things have happened before, I'm afraid that..." Old Master Levine's expression turned solemn. "It's all in the past. Let bygones be bygones . You don't have to worry about it. Jaden is an open-minded person, so he won't care about these things. Therefore, you don't have to worry about this at all." Lara bit her lip and shook her head. "No, all this is my fault. If I hadn't been blinded by things before, if I had known the things that happened between dad and grandma earlier, everything that happened before wouldn't have happened. Although I am back to the Levine family now, I know clearly in my heart that my dark past would be something that could never be taken off me." "I have already embarrassed you, so why do I have to get another person into trouble? It would be better if he minds about my past. However, he did not care about it. Since he is so kind, I can't hurt him. I can't l
The next day, Old Master Levine suddenly announced the news that he was holding a birthday banquet for himself in advance. Old Master Levine was seventy-six years old this year. At his age, it was a jubilant event to hold a birthday banquet every year. What's more, he was seriously ill now. If he could hold a birthday party at this time, it could also have the effect of pushing bad luck away, so the Levine family naturally would not have anything against it. When Clarissa received the news, it was already the afternoon of the next day. Looking at the invitation card in front of her, she was actually surprised. After all, Old Master Levine didn't look like someone who was superstitious. What's more, he was the one who initiated it. Anyone who was sick knew that when one was feeling unwell, he would only want to stay by himself quietly. Few people would want to be disturbed. However, since the invitations had been sent out, no matter what the rea
Natalia's expression slightly changed as the guilt on her face became even more apparent. At this time, even Aidan, who had no clue of what was going on, also noticed that something was wrong. He looked at Clarissa and then turned to look at Natalia, with a deep furrow tangling in his brow. "Natalia, do you know anything about it? Don't be afraid. I'm here. If you want to say it, just say it out." As he spoke, he even held Natalia's hand, hoping to give her some strength. Natalia didn't say anything. She seemed to be in a dilemma. Clarissa was not in a hurry. She had been waiting for her without saying a word. The chain of the necklace was relatively long. Hence, the pendant would be hidden in her clothes when Clarissa wore it. Moreover, Clarissa rarely a wore low-collar top. Therefore, it was impossible to know that the pendant was made of ruby if one had not seen the necklace before. Seeing that Natalia was in such a dilemma, so t
Lara greeted everyone at one go. Her voice was gentle and her smile was sweet. She wore a white evening gown with small diamonds decorating the collar, looking gorgeous and graceful. The mermaid dress's design outlined her slender figure perfectly. She held her head high as she was a proud princess. If they hadn't known her long ago, they would have been deceived by her appearance. Aidan nodded slightly at her. Lauren snorted coldly and turned her head away to ignore her. Seeing this, Lara did not feel awkward at all and said with a smile, "Today is grandpa's birthday party. Thank you for coming. I propose a toast to you on his behalf." Lauren sneered, "I've seen many people who don't know their place in this world. This is the first time I've seen someone who not only does not know her place, but also a wannabe. Don't think that you're above everyone else just because you have changed your identity. You probably have no clue that everyone already knows yo
Gillee looked at her coldly while having the same glum expression. "Do you think I will believe you just because you say so? Do you think you can make things right by just an apology? I've told you so many times to behave yourself. Don't make trouble for me. Did my words go in one ear and out the other?" No matter how good-tempered Lara was, she could not help but be boiling with anger after being chided by Gillee. Lara bit her lip and said with dissatisfaction, "Even if I've offended Clarissa, what could she do to me? I am pretty sure that she would not dare to risk letting grandpa fall ill again by telling the truth! If so, if anything happens to the old master, she will be blamed for it. At that time, even Old Master Jordan would have a problem with her, let alone the Levine family." Gillee didn't expect that she would say that, and he was at a loss for words for a moment. When he turned to look at her again, he could not help but be more vigilant
Clarissa's words made Old Master Levine laugh happily. "You're a smooth talker, Clarissa. But you don't really know Gimmy. He might be a person who is capable to keep things as they are but you can't count on him to do anything else." Old Master Levine was obviously being humble so no one had taken his words seriously. The group of people also began to laugh along with him. "You must be kidding. If that is true, we probably can't even keep things as they are." "I know right. We all know that the Levine Group has been doing very well all these years. You don't have to worry about anything with Gimmy's help." A group of people exchanged words. Although Gimmy was not here, in the eyes of these people, he was already the head of the Levine family. At this moment, Gillee, who was standing behind Old Master Levine, took on a ghastly expression upon hearing that. It was not that no one had noticed his reaction, but the world around them operated acco
Clarissa only felt that her heart stopped beating with the passing of Anne's heartbeat. Raising her head to look at the surprised and curious faces around her, Clarissa burst into tears. "What are you guys waiting for? Didn't you see that she was drowning? Hurry up and call the doctor! I'm begging you, hurry up and call the doctor!" At this time, someone quickly took out his mobile phone to call for the doctor. Clarissa continued to perform life-saving procedures on Anne. As she was doing it, tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably. "Sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have let you go to the bathroom alone. I should have kept you company. Anne, I'm sorry." Clarissa was extremely remorseful. She had never felt this way before in her life. Why did she let her go alone? How could she let down her guard and let Anne to stay in a place she had never been by herself? She didn't know how Anne fell into the water and why did she wander to a place
Only then did Old Madam Jordan realize that she had overreacted and frightened Anne. She quickly held back her anger and said softly, "No, I'm not angry. I'm just worried about you. Our little angel is so cute and obedient, yet there are still vicious people out there who want to hurt you. Don't worry, I'll definitely find the culprit who tried to harm you and won't let her off easily!" Anne didn't quite understand, but she was relieved after she found out that Old Madam Jordan wasn't angry with her. Clarissa frowned. "Anne, are you sure it was someone who pushed you down just now?" Anne opened her eyes wide in bewilderment, looked at her before looking at Anderson, who was standing next to her, frowning. Finally, she shook his head. "I'm not sure." Although Anne was still young, she knew that she shouldn't wrong others at will. Therefore, she just told them truthfully, "At that time, I just felt that I couldn't stand firm under my
