Chapter 113 Meet In The Middle Of The Night
On the phone, Anderson said with pleasantly surprise, "Really?"
"Yeah, I am serious."
After getting the answer he wanted, he hung up contentedly.
Clarissa let out a big sigh of relief. She suddenly remembered something, and then called Mark.
"Mark, have you found out something?"
"I'm still keeping watch on them! No clues have been found so far."
Clarissa frowned.
She was a little disappointed in heart.
But she knew that it was not that easy to investigate this matter after five years, so she didn't say anything.
Unexpectedly, Mark suddenly asked, "By the way, is the Chapman family related to anyone in Flaucford?"
Clarissa was stunned.
"What do you mean?"
"Recently, I found that people in the Chapman family have frequent contacts with someone in Flaucford. It's not about business, and I haven't found the identity of that person, so I want to ask you."
Flaucford?
As far as she knew, Gianni was a poor college student before marrying his mother.
Back then, the Campos family was the richest family in Visstead. They took in a son-in-law to bear their family name because they only had one daughter. Clarissa's grandfather took a fancy to Gianni's shrewdness and capacity at the time, so he agreed to let him marry Clarissa's mother.
What happened later was disgusting.
Gianni disguised for more than ten years and deceived everyone, including her grandfather and mother. After her mother died, he changed the Campos Group into the Chapman Group and completely occupied the properties of the Campos Group.
Of course, the process of him becoming powerful was despised by others.
Although Gianni also made some achievements on his own later, it was very good for him to become so powerful in Visstead with the properties of the Campos family. How could he know someone in Flaucford?
Clarissa frowned slightly. She thought for a while, but didn't think of any answer.
"I don't know. Does it have anything to do with my mother's death?"
"I'm not sure. I just feel strange. That person always wears a black windbreaker and a mask when he comes here, and he comes here in midnight. If they really want to talk about business, do they have to meet in the middle of the night?"
Clarissa was slightly shocked.
She also felt that this matter was a bit strange.
So she said, "You are right. Just keep watch on them and try to find the identity of that person."
"Okay, I will try my best. But that person doesn't look like an ordinary person, so it's probably not that easy to investigate him."
"Just do your best. Thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Clarissa was silent for a while.
She thought of what Gianni said before. Since her mother died, the Chapman family had been on the decline in Visstead. Later, Alphatube dealt them a severe blow, so it was impossible for them to develop in Flaucford.
Therefore, the person who went to the Chapman family in the middle of the night couldn't be a business man.
So why did he go there?
Clarissa frowned.
In the evening, she was not in a hurry to go home. She went to the practice room to see the members who were preparing to participate in the variety show after the Spring Festival.
Although it was during the Spring Festival, the competition was around the corner and they were busy with training, so they didn't go home to celebrate the new year.
Clarissa gave each of them a red envelope to comfort them, and then encouraged them before she left.
When she returned home, it was already nine o'clock at night.
The weather in winter was so cold.
There were still many cars and pedestrians on the road, and it looked more lively and bustling than usual.
It was nine o'clock, the rush hour of returning home. There was a traffic jam on the road and the cars moved forward slowly. Feeling bored, Clarissa supported one hand on the car window and looked out.
Suddenly, she saw a familiar car not far in front of her left.
It was a champagne-colored Bentley with a very familiar plate number. If she was right, it should be Lara's car.
Lara had never appeared in public after the school anniversary.
There was no news about her in the past half a month.
Clarissa knew that she wanted to lie low until the scandal blew over. But even if people paid less attention to this scandal, this matter would still become the biggest stain in her career.
What was she doing here so late?
This direction was not the way back to the Chapman family.
Of course, it was not the direction to the Duncan family.
Clarissa was puzzled. After all, the most important thing Lara needed to do at this time was to stay at home obediently and not to show up until the scandal blew over.
It was late at night, but she appeared in the downtown area. If she was photographed, she would be shooting herself in the foot.
Clarissa followed her curiously.
The champagne-colored Bentley was driving along the avenue. When it reached the intersection, it suddenly turned left and entered an alley.
The light in the alley was a little dark. Clarissa was afraid of being discovered and followed her very far.
After leaving the alley, she drove after Lara for about ten minutes before seeing the Bentley stop in front of the gate of a villa.
The car door was opened, and a dark shadow got off the car and walked very fast with her head lowered.
Across the thick night fog, Clarissa saw Lara who wore a black bucket. She pulled her hat down, and almost her entire face was hidden in the darkness.
She was holding something in her arms, and she walked to the villa in a hurry with her head down.
Soon, someone came out of the villa to greet her. It was too far away, and Clarissa couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, but it seemed that he was very respectful to Lara.
She frowned.
After thinking for a long time, she couldn't figure out who could treat Lara so respectfully among the people Lara knew.
The person had led Lara into the villa and closed the door. Clarissa was sitting in the car, and she couldn't get out of the car to have a closer look.
After waiting for a while, Lara still didn't come out. Thinking that it was not proper to wait for Lara like this, she was about to leave.
However, at this moment, she suddenly heard a cry of a child.
Clarissa was stunned. At first, she thought that she had heard it wrong. After she opened the car window and listened carefully, she found that someone was really crying.
It was on the road, and the villa was some distance from here. On both sides of the wide road were the shrubs that had been newly planted in the past two years.
Clarissa got out of the car and followed the sound of crying. After walking for a few steps, she saw a child about three or four years old sitting on a stump in the forest, crying very sadly.
She was startled.
It was dark all around, and only the pale moonlight shed through the gaps between the leaves.
It was silent around, so the child's cry sounded particularly loud and spread far away, making Clarissa feel frightened in such an enviroment.
Clarissa swallowed.
But she approached the child step by step boldly.
"Hey, are you okay?"
She yelled, and the little girl sitting on the stump turned her head, revealing a s beautiful little face.
Although it was at night, by the moonlight, she could see that the girl was wearing a white dress with a pink plush coat outside, and her hair curled slightly.
Her small and pretty face was half buried in the white fur collar of the coat, looking like a delicate and lovely elf in the night. Clarissa liked her so much at the first glance.
Her eyes lit up.
