Old Master Levine had his own reasons for making such a big deal out of this incident. At present, the relationship between the four great families was very complicated. Every little action by any of them could cause a chain reaction. Although the Levine family had decided to unite with the Holland family by the ties of marriage, it didn't mean that they wanted to fall out with the Jordan family. It would be the best for the Levine family to stay neutral and stable without getting on the Jordan family's bad side. As everyone knew how serious the incident was, they had no objection to Old Master Levine's request. There were even a few people, who wanted to curry favor with the Jordan Family, enthusiastically volunteered to assist in the search. Soon, half an hour had passed. The outcome of the search was nobody had a remote-controlled toy or anything similar in their possession. Clarissa stood by and watched them coldly without saying a
"Miss Lara, please save me! I was wronged! Miss Lara, please save me!" At this critical moment, Maggie rushed to Lara, trying to ask her for help. However, before she could get close to Lara, Maggie was dragged away from Lara. Seeing this, Lara looked disconcerting, as if she couldn't bear to see Maggie being treated this way. "Grandpa, maybe Maggie was not thinking straight at that moment, or..." "Don't beg for mercy for her!" Old Master Levine interrupted her words and said angrily, "There is no place for a person like her, who would be ruthless enough to lay a finger on a six years old child. Our family will never cover up for such a sinner!" When Maggie heard this, she started to cry in despair. Lara sighed. She said softly, "I'm sorry, but I can't help you. You... You'd better pray for yourself." As Lara spoke, she turned her head to the side. Someone in the crowd said sarcastically, "What a vicious woman. Why did M
Old Master Levine said in a deep voice, "Clarissa, this butterfly toy was found in her room. Isn't it just a proof that the murderer is her? As for motive, it doesn't matter if she refuses to say it now. When she suffers a little later and knows that it's useless to quibble, she will naturally spill it out." Clarissa frowned. She didn't expect that Old Master Levine was a person who would make decisions arbitrarily. Clarissa shook her head and said in a deep voice, "No, you're wrong. Although this butterfly toy was found in Maggie's room, it doesn't mean that it belongs to her." As soon as she said that, everyone was confused. They all looked at her with confusion and didn't quite understand what she meant. Gillee sneered and said, "If that doesn't prove that she is the culprit, then what can?" "Of course, we have to look for more detailed evidence!" Clarissa held up the butterfly toy and showed to everyone. She said loudly, "Look at it
Lara was crying loud. But among all the guests present, except for Old Master Levine, no one sympathized with her. They were all looking at her in disdain. After all, Lara was the one who was persuading the maid that she should correct her mistakes and be brave enough to confess them. "And she even pretended to plead mercy for Maggie to win a good impression on herself." It would be horrifying if Lara were to successfully fool everyone and no one had found out the truth. As a result, everyone started to express their contempt for Lara. Anderson had long known the truth. When Clarissa spoke up for Maggie, he had roughly guessed who the real culprit was. However, since there was Lara who stood up for Maggie, he didn't have to chime in anymore. Old Master Jordan and Old Madam Jordan were very surprised. After listening to the truth, they were both shocked and angry. They couldn't wait to tear Lara into pieces. After all, t
"Since you trust Lara so much that you don't think that she will do something to harm others deliberately, shouldn't you let the criminal justice system intervene and find out the truth, to prove her innocence?" Old Master Levine was suddenly at loss of words. There were also a few guests on the side, who appeared to be enjoying the show. "The Jordan Family and the Levine family seemed to be going head-to-head with each other." "Only because of a child? Or is there something else?" At this moment, Old Master Levine's expression suddenly changed. He held his chest as he gasped rapidly. His face suddenly turned red, as if he couldn't breathe. When all of the Levine family saw this, their faces suddenly changed as they all rushed over at once. "Old Master Levine!" "Dad!" "Grandfather!" "Quick, call the doctor!" Fortunately, the doctor of the Levine family was always standing by. He did not leave immediately after see
"So, today, I just want Lara to learn her lessons. If she makes a mistake, she has to admit it. If she doesn't want to lower herself, she'd better not make such a mistake. Am I right?" Gimmy was speechless for a moment. After deliberating over her words, Gimmy felt that they sounded quite reasonable. As a result, he did not say anything further. Clarissa smiled as she looked at Lara. "So, now, please start to apologize!" Lara's face turned from pale then livid. Looking at Clarissa's smug smile, she couldn't wait to charge forward and tear her apart. She bit her lower lip and turned to look at Old Master Levine in humiliation. But she saw that Old Master Levine's face was livid and tense. He didn't even want to look at her. Lara's heart was pounding. She looked at Gillee again. He nodded slightly to her. That was when Lara knew there was no turning back. Although Lara was extremely reluctant, she could only step forward a
As Lara spoke, she began to burst into tears. "I'm sorry, grandpa. I really didn't expect it to end up like this. It's all my fault. I had embarrassed you and offended the whole of the Jordan Family, I'm sorry." Lara apologized again and again, although she had said it countless times tonight. But she knew that in front of Old Master Levine, she must keep a low profile and played the victim. At least, she couldn't let Old Master Levine to be completely disappointed in her and gave up on her. As expected, he glanced at her before he said coldly, "Do you know what's the biggest mistake you made tonight?" Lara was stunned. Staring at him blankly, she shook her head. "Your biggest mistake is that, since you have already made your move, you should have struck a deadly blow on your opponent, rather than leaving the space for him to breathe and the chance to get back at you." He sighed and said in a low voice, "Luckily, Anne is just a kid
Gillee glanced at her again in disdain. He said in a low voice, "Do you know that just because of what happened today, the Holland family has reneged on the arranged marriage between you and Jaden." Lara shuddered in shock. Lara looked up at him in disbelief as her expression changed slightly. "Why?" Gillee sneered. "Humph, what else could it be? They don't want Jaden to marry a troublesome person. Look what you've done tonight. Do you think anyone from the upper class of Flaucford would want to marry you?" Lara was speechless. She bit her lip. Lara clenched her fist tight as she felt the humiliation boil up inside her. Gillee sighed. "That's enough. We'll talk about the arranged marriage next time. It's getting late. You should go back now. Remember to be careful so that they will not be suspicious of you." Lara nodded, and then turned around to leave. However, before she reached the door, Lara were stopped by Gillee again.
