Chapter 1067 There Is No Other Way
She opened her eyes wide in disbelief, and at the same time, she saw a trace of astonishment in the man's eyes.
Then, the two fell into the sea together.
Clarissa never knew that a long time ago, she and Anderson had shared a life and death situation together.
Although it was not voluntary, the bullet did penetrate through their bodies at the same time.
She did not know who fired the gun. Perhaps Anderson knew.
She only knew that at that moment, she suddenly remembered everything.
Recalling the time when she had been staying in the apartment, she felt that Anderson took good care of her and she had long since fallen in love with this man.
She recalled that although that man was very quiet most of the time, he had always been very gentle to her.
He would sit with her on the balcony in the middle of the night and told her about many of his dreams and passions.
He told her many things; things that she never knew.
For example, he would tell her about the nuclear bomb, weird creatures that had lived for over a thousand years, outer space, and so on.
At that time, she felt like she was listening to a story or an encyclopedia.
She really did admire him and had great respect for him.
Clarissa thought, perhaps she was willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of his dreams back then.
After all, in his opinion, if there was no sacrifice, there would be no peace and no happiness for the people in the world.
But, at the end of the day, there were some things that were not up to her to do.
Someone saved her, along with Anderson.
However, after that incident, the two of them had never met again.
As she was shot, the wound was very serious, and she almost lost her life.
In a daze, she heard someone say, "She knows too much. We can't let her live, so she must die."
However, another person stopped him.
"No. If she dies, Anderson will definitely look into it when he wakes up. At that time, he will find out that it was us who killed his people, and we will be in great trouble."
"What do you think we should do?"
"Erase her memories and throw her into the sea. Whether she survives or not, it's up to fate."
"Okay, let's do it."
Clarissa never imagined that the truth she had been pursuing so long would be like this.
She saw her tears rolling down from the corner of her eyes. In her hazy eyesight, the man was still lying there quietly, not knowing what was going on around him.
No wonder.
So this was the truth she wanted to know.
Everything that happened was not what he wanted, but he was indeed the reason it happened.
Therefore, when they met several years later, he was so eager to marry her, not because he fell in love with her at first sight, but because he felt like he owed it to her?
So, even if they had been together for such a long time, and even if there were many opportunities for him to confess, he did not say anything. Furthermore, he chose to bury everything at the bottom of his heart?
So that was what it was.
Suddenly, she finally understood why Anne was becoming more and more similar to her in terms of temperament and appearance as she grew older.
It was because she wasn't her stepdaughter from the beginning at all. She was her own daughter.
That part of her memory that she had lost was forcefully erased and she was also severed from her relationship with Anderson.
Later, she was rescued by members of the Lost Vanguard. After joining the Lost Vanguard, for the sake of convenience, she transferred to another school, so he had no way to contact her.
Could it be that this was the truth?
Clarissa saw her tears flowing down.
Closing her eyes, she accepted the truth at heart.
Since this was the truth, there was no other way but to accept it.
Then, Clarissa woke up.
When she opened her eyes again, she was still in the luxurious room that was filled with a heavy fragrance.
She sat on the futon, just like how she had been before entering her memory. The difference was that Coby was not standing beside her anymore. Instead, he returned to his seat in front of her.
The sun was shining through the window in the distance, but she could not feel any warmth, instead, she felt the kind of cold that would seep into her bones.
Looking up at her, Coby asked, "Did you remember everything?"
When Clarissa heard the question, her face was a little pale.
She looked at Coby and asked, "What I saw just now... was it true?"
"Of course."
"Why?" Clarissa was a little confused. "I couldn't recall anything before, but how did I remember everything just now?"
"I did it with Airbending skills. They might have successfully wiped out your memory, but in truth, your memory was only blocked. You have already remembered some fragments yourself. With my help, it came to your mind naturally."
After Coby finished, he put down the teacup and looked at her with a smile.
"So, do you understand why Anderson is with you now?"
At that moment, Clarissa's eyes were blank.
In a low voice, Coby continued. "He is not the president of Jordan Group at all. His real identity is the person in charge of the organization, Thunderstriders. This organization is specifically aimed at me. You know, I don't want to hurt anyone. I just wanted to collect 12 pieces of Jade of Heaven so Cara can come back to life. But they insisted on stopping me. Tell me, is it wrong for me to fight back?"
Pursing her lips together, Clarissa remained silent.
Coby was not in a hurry as he added. "Back then, they actually went to the lengths of wiping out your memory to keep this secret and threw you into the sea regardless of the fact that you were severely injured. Now, they were willing to stay undercover beside to keep the secret again. Fortunately, you really did lose your memory. If you didn't, believe it or not, you would have died a long time ago, and you wouldn't have had a chance to sit in front of me right now."
His words made Clarissa's face darken in an instant.
"Nonsense! Anderson will never hurt me!"
"Really? Since he doesn't want to hurt you, why didn't he come to you and ask if you still remember what happened? Then why didn't he tell you the truth?"
With a pause, Coby continued to persuade. "If he didn't tell you the truth previously, it's understandable. But now, don't all of you already find out about me? You must have never thought that the rest of the Jade of Heaven would be in Anderson's hands. So no matter how hard you look for them, you won't be able to find them. That's because they are with all along."
Immediately, Clarissa's face turned pale.
"What did you say? He has..."
"That's right!"
Speaking of this, a gloomy look flashed across Coby's face.
"Ten years ago, for the sake of the Jade of Heaven, I was captured by him and those few pieces were with him since then. Look, it has been so long. Jara and Emmeline have been searching for the Jade of Heaven worldwide, and you tried your best to help them look for it, too. But did Anderson do anything? Tsk. Tsk."
