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?" Old Maste
After all, the day before yesterday, Old Master Levine still seemed to be protective of Lara. He was very dissatisfied with Clarissa forcing Lara to apologize. "Why is he acting like a different person today?" Clarissa felt that there was something off about it, so she turned down his invitation without thinking. However, just after she rejected Old Master Levine, Quinne called her again. Clarissa was not familiar with Quinne, but because Clarissa was close to Gimmy, Quinne was Gimmy's wife, so their relationship, naturally, was not too bad. Quinne called her to ask her to do a spa together. This time, Clarissa was even more surprised. From their conversation, she learned that Quinne owned a chain beauty center. Recently, the store had introduced a new massage technique. It was said that one would feel very comfortable after massage and it was particularly good for female care. However, it was a strange timing for Quinne to invite her at
The next day, Clarissa returned to shooting a series. Recently, she had taken up a role in a period drama, set in wartime. Although the theme was not very popular, Clarissa liked it very much after reading the script. So even though she was not the female lead, she still agreed to take part in it. Today, Clarissa had a fighting scene with the second male lead. In order to ensure that the scene looked real enough, the director did not choose to film it indoors and edit it afterward. Instead, he chose to do the shooting at the real venue. The site chosen by the crew was located on a famous mountain on the outskirts of the Flaucford city. This mountain was famous because there was a lighthouse on top of the mountain. The scenery on the mountain was beautiful, covered with green. It just happened that today was a sunny day. Standing on the mountain, one would feel relaxed and happy. Before filming, the crew had already cleared up the venue and set up th
Heavy drops of water did not stop falling from the sky Clarissa squatted down on the ground, trembling all over. The director and a group of staff immediately gathered around and asked with concern, "How are you? Are you alright?" Clarissa nodded. "Your hand is injured? Hurry up! Send Clarissa to the hospital immediately!" Clarissa had very little memory of what happened next. She didn't know what was going on either. She just felt dizzy and heavy-headed. Everyone was helping her to bandage the wound using strips of cloth, but it did not stop the wound from bleeding profusely. It didn't take long for her to lose consciousness. At the same time, on the other side. The Levine family's old mansion. Old Master Levine met Albetine. They had already run a paternity test on the two strands of hair and the results were out. This result, however, surprised everyone. Not only was Clarissa the daughter of Vivian, but al
Old Master Levine's persistence was unusual. Since he already said that, although Anderson suspected him, he knew in his heart that the possibility of this being true was very small. Firstly, for a person of a social standing like Old Master Levine, there was not necessary for him to deal with Clarissa for such a trivial thing. Besides, the ploy engaged was execrable, it didn't seem to be his doing. Thus, after a few seconds of stalemate, Anderson still made way. Old Master Levine hurried into the room. Clarissa hadn't woken up yet. Her treatment would require anesthetics and she had just had a high fever, so she was sleeping e. He looked at her from a distance and saw that half of her pale face was buried in the pillow. She looked so fragile and pitiful. His eyes could not help but turn red. "How are her injuries? Will she be fine?" Anderson's eyebrows furrowed deeper. He couldn't fathom out Old Master Levine's behavior now.
Gillee was so angry, but at this time, he could only listen to her. "Okay, I promise you. Tell me where you are now." "Before that, I have another condition!" "Another one?" Gillee felt it unbelievable. "Do you know that I am the only one who can save your life now? If people know that you are the one who was trying to murder Clarissa, what is the chance of your survival?" Lara sneered and said, "If I can't survive, you will not be able to survive too. Don't forget that you're the one who came up with this idea." As she spoke, she even played that recording at the other end of the line to remind him. Gillee couldn't bear it anymore, but afraid of the evidence in her hands, he could only hold back his anger in the end. "Fine! You win. Tell me! What's the condition?" "It's very simple. Prepare a sum of money for me, at least 50 million, and transfer it to my bank account abroad. You can't leave me impecunious while I'm abroad, can you?"
