Chapter 116 Back To The Chapman Family
Clarissa was very busy that day.
In the new product launch conference, although many things had been prepared in advance, it was the first time to introduce these new clothes, so the conference meant a lot.
In addition, the organisers invited some new models this time. They prepared a lot because they didn't want any accidents to happen. It could be imagined how busy and complicated the preparation was.
Therefore, even Clarissa couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
However, she had always been good at adjusting her emotions. Even though she cared this show so much and felt so nervous, she looked calm on the surface.
When the show was about to start, she went to the backstage to comfort those stars at first, and then went to talk with the designer.
The style of U.MAX was varied, including men's clothing and women's clothing. Their target groups were people among 18-30 years old, and these people were willing to spend their money on clothing.
In addition to the main ten new styles, there were also thirty sub-styles, and all of them would be shown to the public.
Clarissa didn't get relieved until she took the designer to check the clothes that her models were going to wear personally.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the conference began officially.
Several main designers of the brand mounted the platform and addressed the audience, and then the catwalk show begun.
As the lights turned on and the music sounded, the models walked the catwalk on the stage.
The lighting on the stage was fantastic. Good-shaped models came out one by one, and every piece of clothing on their bodies was magnificent.
As a super star and the spokesman of the brand, Antonio naturally appeared as the finale.
He was wearing a motorcycle-style leather jacket that day, looking charming and handsome.
There were many of his fans under the stage. The auditorium was filled of his purple supporting sticks. When he came out, the cheers and applause mingled in a single sustained roar.
Standing under the stage and watching this scene, Clarissa smiled.
One of the organizers came over and talked to her, "President Chapman, I envy you signing with a star like Antonio."
The person was a top manager from Energence International Crop, and they often communicated with each other about work, so Clarissa was familiar with him.
Clarissa smiled and said, "I was just lucky."
No one knew that she and Antonio were old acquaintances.
Therefore, many people thought that it was just her great luck to sign with Antonio.
But even so, it was enough to make people jealous.
After they chatted for a while, Clarissa's phone suddenly rang.
She looked down at the caller ID on the screen, and then her eyes turned slightly cold.
Seeing that she needed to answer the phone, the person said goodbye to her and went to do his own work.
Clarissa answered the phone with an indifferent face.
"Where are you now?"
As soon as the phone was connected, she heard a commanding and old voice.
Clarissa sneered, "What's wrong?"
"I'm having people to dinner this evening. Come back in the afternoon."
Clarissa frowned.
Having people to dinner?
What did it have to do with her?
She had broken up with the Chapman family since the last incident. Why did she have to come back when they treated a guest?
She refused without thinking, "I'm not free at night."
"Clarissa, I know that you're now with Anderson. You're powerful and you won't listen to me anymore, but I am your grandmother anyway, and here is still your home. I don't care about what you have done, but this is a matter of the reputation of the Chapman family, and I can't leave it alone, so you must come back tonight!"
Clarissa frowned hard,
"I really don't know what I have done to affect the reputation of the Chapman family."
"I will tell you when you come back! It's not convenient to be talked about on the phone."
Clarissa was silent for a moment.
She suddenly thought of the place where she followed to go Lara last time. She thought for a while and said, "Okay, I see."
After hanging up the phone, she sent a message to Anderson.
She told him that she couldn't go home for dinner that night, and she might go back later.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she sent the message, Anderson called her.
Clarissa was a little surprised. When she answered the phone, Anderson's deep and magnetic voice sounded.
"Are you going back to the Chapman family?"
Clarissa said, "Yeah."
"Do you need me to accompany you?"
"No, I can go back by myself."
......
Anderson was silent for a while, but he didn't insist.
Because Clarissa was not a coward that would be bullied. He knew it better than anyone else.
However, he still ordered her, "Be careful, and call me immediately if you're in trouble."
"Okay, I see."
.......
At six o'clock in the afternoon.
After finishing a day's work, Clarissa drove to the Chapman family.
When she got off the car, she saw a black Bentley parked not far away.
She was a little surprised.
She knew most of the cars in the Chapman family, but she had never seen such a car.
It seemed that besides her, there were indeed other guests at home at night.
Her eyes darkened as she walked into the villa.
"Miss Chapman, good evening."
It was Marcus, the housekeeper, who opened the door. When he saw her, he still greeted her with a smiling face.
Although Clarissa didn't know whether his smile was sincere or not, Marcus was the only one who was willing to smile at her in the Chapman family.
She didn't say anything, just smiled at him blandly and nodded.
"Mrs. Chapman and Mr. Chapman are in the living room. Please go there!"
"Okay."
Clarissa changed into slippers and walked into the living room.
Sure enough, apart from Chloe, Gianni and Lena, there was also a middle-aged fat man.
She knew that man. He was a business partner of the Chapman family, and his name seemed to be Willy Hemsworth.
Willy had a wide range of contacts. It was said that he was not only a rich businessman, but also a leader of the mafia. He was very powerful, and he had a good relationship with policemen and gangsters.
But there were also rumors that he got married once before, and his wife committed suicide by jumping off the building because she could not bear his domestic violence.
Clarissa didn't know whether it was true or not, but she didn't think too much. After walking in, she greeted them blandly.
"Hello, grandma, dad."
She ignored Lena directly.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Lena's face. She stood up and smiled, "Sit down first. I'll go to the kitchen and have a look."
Miraculously, Chloe didn't blame Clarissa for disrespecting Lena this time. She nodded lightly.
"Okay! By the way, call Lara and Elliot again and ask when they would come back."
"I see."
After Lena left, Clarissa walked straight to the other end of the sofa and sat down.
"Why did you ask me to come back?"
Chloe looked at her delicate face and well-shaped figure, feeling really uncomfortable in heart.
Being compared with Lara, Clarissa was naturally more beautiful.
With her perfect figure and face, she could help the Chapman family to develop better and become more powerful.
However, it was a pity that her mother taught her to be so wilful and arrogant when she was a child.
In addition, Chloe hated Clarissa to the extreme because of what had happened last time.
