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.
Lara was stunned as she turned around. Gabriela quickly smiled to cover up her deliberateness. Lara raised her eyebrows as she immediately caught the undertone of her question. Lara then explained, "Did you mean the butterfly birthmark on the back? It existed when I was a child. Later, it gradually disappeared when I grew up." She answered in a nonchalant tone, and did not sound nervous or guilty at all. It was as if she was talking about something ordinary. Gabriela pursed her lips. "I see. I didn't know the birthmark can disappear by itself, it's so magical." Lara smiled and said, "Yes, but it's not impossible. After all, it's just a pigment in skin. It's a common occurrence in medicine." Gabriela nodded. "I see." The two of them didn't share any common topics to talk about. After eating, they didn't go back to the hot spring pools. After resting for a while, they went back home. When Old Master Levine heard that they went o
Upon hearing this, Old Master Levine suddenly flew into a rage. "What did you say? I dare you to say it again!" Gabriela stiffened her neck. She got really angry too and said, "I said, I don't agree!" "How dare you!" Clutching his chest, Old Master Levine's face was flushed with anger. Seeing this, Gabriela felt her heart tighten and hurried to get the medicine for him. "Grandpa, are you okay? Hurry up and take the medicine!" Old Master Levine slapped her away and said angrily, "Why do you still care if I live or not when you don't even listen to me? Won't you be happy if I died? No one will force you to do anything in the future." Gabriela's heart ached. Looking at how he looked now, she did not have the heart to argue with him. She said sadly, "Grandpa, I don't like Jaden and I don't want to marry him. I'm just speaking my mind. In your heart, isn't your grandchildren's happiness more important than power and interests?"
