Chapter 118 Treat Her As Goods
Moreover, what did he mean by "someone who doesn't belong to you"?
Was he referring to Elliot or Anderson?
Clarissa felt it somewhat ridiculous. She didn't want to talk nonsense with Willy anymore and walked faster.
Willy also quickened his pace. When he entered the dinning room, he suddenly held her wrist and helped her.
"Miss Chapman, watch your step."
Clarissa withdrew her hand subconsciously and turned to glare at him.
She knew the way she walked. She had walked from the living room to the dining room for so many times before she was eighteen years old. Although she hadn't lived here for a few years, she wouldn't be unfamiliar with the way and fall down.
Obviously, Willy did it on purpose.
He deliberately wanted to behave ambiguously with Clarissa in front of everyone, so that others would feel they were close.
Sure enough, Lara's coquettish laughter came from the dinning room.
"Oh! I was wondering why Clarissa and Brother Willy haven't come here. It turns out that you two walked slowly deliberately. Brother Willy, Clarissa is gentle and modest. Don't bully her."
Willy immediately said with a smile, "No. Miss Chapman is so beautiful, and all I want is to dote on her. How can I bully her?"
Seeing this, Chloe was obviously very happy.
She smiled and nodded in satisfaction, "Mr. Hemsworth, it's good that you and Clarissa like each other. Come and sit down!"
Willy turned his head and smiled at Clarissa: "Clarissa, let's go over."
Clarissa frowned harder.
She was disgusted by him.
Seeing Clarissa standing still, Lena got up in a hurry.
"Clarissa, come and sit here! Sit next to Lara."
It seemed that she was helping Clarissa out, but in fact, Elliot was sitting on the left of Lara. If Clarissa sat on her right, what would it be like?
Should she watch them show off their love in front of her?
Whether they minded it or not, Clarissa felt sick!
Clarissa didn't speak. She walked directly to Chloe's side, and then sat down next to Gianni.
That was originally Lena's seat. She stood up just now and the seat became empty.
Clarissa looked at her and smiled faintly, "Aunt Lena, you don't mind me sitting here, do you?"
The smile on Lena's face froze.
Chloe's face darkened immediately.
"Clarissa! That's your Aunt Lena's seat! How can you sit there?"
Clarissa said blandly, "This used to be my mother's seat. I miss her, so I sat here to mourn her. Can't I do this?"
Chloe's face changed with anger.
Gianni was also very unhappy.
Since Sierra died, Clarissa seemed to have become a different person. She always mocked him and touched him on his most sensitive spot, which made him very annoyed.
If Clarissa sat next to him, he would have no appetite for the meal!
Thinking of this, Gianni said in a deep voice with a straight face, "Clarissa, sit where you should sit! This is the seat of your Aunt Lena."
Clarissa insisted, "This is my mother's seat."
"You!"
Lena eased the situation in time.
"Forget it. It's just a seat, and it doesn't matter. Since Clarissa like it, just let her sit there. I'll sit here."
As she said this, she sat at the end of the table with grievances.
She seemed to have given in, but everyone glared at Clarissa with dissatisfaction. Even Willy, who had always been fond of Clarissa, couldn't help frowning.
He had long heard that Clarissa was self-willed and arrogant. He thought it was just a rumor before, but it seemed that it was right.
No matter what, Lena was her elder. Although she was Clarissa's stepmother, she treated Clarissa very well.
Clarissa was actually so impolite to her! She was really heartless!
However, although he disliked Clarissa in heart, he was still attracted to her when he saw her pretty and lofty face.
It didn't matter if she was arrogant!
He liked hot-tempered women the most. They were more attractive than gentle and obedient women, and it gave him a sense of achievement to emasculate them.
Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Mrs. Chapman, I'm sorry to make you wronged because of me. It doesn't matter. Since Clarissa is not willing to sit beside me, I can sit at the end of the table. You can sit back!"
Seeing this, Lena was a little embarrassed. She smiled apologetically and awkwardly at Willy.
"Mr. Hemsworth, I'm so sorry for what happened."
"It's okay. Miss Chapman is very straightforward. I can see that she is not scheming at all. I like her very much."
"As long as you like her."
Lena seemed to be relieved and turned to look at Clarissa.
With a cold face, Clarissa listened to them discussing herself, as if she was a piece of goods. They completely ignored her own opinions.
She sneered coldly, and she had never expected that Chloe would be so shameless.
What were they doing?
Pimping?
Or selling her?
She finally understood. Chloe had probably heard some gossips and felt that the relationship between her and Anderson was unstable, so she wanted to find a rich husband for her.
She lowered her eyes slightly, suddenly remembered something, and smiled.
At this time, Chloe happened to ask her, "Clarissa, I heard that Mr. Jordan didn't go back to Flaucford with you this time?"
"Yes. "Clarissa said blandly.
Chloe said with a gloating smile, "I have said that you two are not suitable at all! Fortunately, you are still young and it is not too late for you to change your mind."
Next to her, Willy chimed with Chloe.
"That's right. Miss Chapman, you're still young and so beautiful. There are so many people who like you. You don't have to put all your eggs in one basket."
Clarissa glanced at him blandly and then looked at Chloe.
"Did you hear something?"
Chloe was stunned.
After a moment, she chuckled sarcastically, "Since you know this, I'll tell you the truth. Mr. Jordan has his own fiancee in Flaucford, and he didn't take you back this time. You should know why he didn't take you back. Clarissa, although our Chapman family is not very famous and powerful, we're respectable in Visstead."
"I don't want to care about who you're with now, but I will never allow you to ruin other people's family and disgrace our family! So, just break up with Anderson. If you can come back and marry a good man, we can still admit that you are a member of our family. "
Clarissa looked at her with mocking eyes.
"Now, here is a woman who has ruined other people's family shamelessly! Why do you say these to me instead of driving her out of your family?"
"You!"
Chloe got choked with anger. Beside her, Lena's face flushed instantly.
"How dare you! Clarissa, how can you be so impolite?"
"I'm just telling the truth. Before you teach others a lesson, you should behave yourself well. Am I right?"
"You!"
Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Lara eased the situation in a hurry.
"Dad, Clarissa, stop arguing. Mr. Hemsworth is still here!"
It was only then they remembered that Willy was here, so they stopped arguing in anger.
Lara turned to look at Clarissa, showing a friendly smile.
"Clarissa, I know that you have always had a grudge against my mother and me. We can't deny this or ask for your forgiveness. But grandma said those words for your own good. You can hurt us, but you can't let grandma down!"
