Chapter 144 Considerate
Only then did Chantel react, and said in a hurry, "Yes, that's right. I just came to see the scenery."
Matteo gave her a suspicious look, "Really? Why do I think you are lying?"
Chantel was speechless.
Chantel was her own biological daughter, and Matteo knew her temperament well. Seeing her her reaction, Matteo knew that she was not telling the truth.
She sneered, "Chantel, did you go to find Anderson's wife?"
Chantel was stunned, and she subconsciously wanted to deny it.
Matteo interrupted her suddenly, "Alright, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me the truth. Anyway, I have seen his wife. She is a very good child, and I like her very much, so you are not allowed to interfere in their matters anymore, and you can't make trouble for them. Understand?"
Hearing this, Chantel got so mad.
"Mom, how can you say that? Did I make trouble for them? Do you know what kind of woman she is?"
"Of course I know!"
Clarissa was a kind and good girl!
She not only treated people warmly, but also respected the old. She had known Clarissa well enough!
"Mom, since you know that, why do you agree to let her be with Anderson? You don't know what people gossip about her! Her marriage with Anderson shames our family!"
"Stop!"
Matteo suddenly went berserk, "Don't talk about nonsense! I don't care what people talk about and I only believe what I saw with my own eyes! And you! Go back to Flaucford with me immediately. You're not allowed to stay here and cause trouble. If you refuse to go back, you don't have to go back anymore!"
"Mom…"
"Alright, let's go!"
After finished speaking, Matteo left with Anne angrily.
Seeing this, Chantel flew into a rage.
"Gabriela, has my mother been bewitched by that woman? Why does she believe her so much?"
Gabriela lowered her eyes slightly and clenched her fingers tightly. After a moment, she smiled.
"Mrs. Jordan has always been kind, so she thinks that everyone is as kind as her. It's understandable. Auntie, you don't have to be so angry."
Chantel rubbed her forehead, and felt that her head hurt with anger.
"Alright, you don't need to comfort me anymore. I know that everyone is more important than me in her eyes. That woman hasn't come back to our family yet, but she believes her so much. How ridiculous!"
Gabriela asked gently, "What should we do now?"
Chantel glanced at her.
"What else could we do? Since my mom has ordered me like that, of course we have to go back to Flaucford! I don't want to be driven out of the Jordan family!"
Chantel returned to Flaucford with Gabriela.
At the same time, something happened in the Chapman family again!
It was in the middle of the night.
Not long after Lara went to bed, she suddenly heard a woman crying outside the window.
The whimper was shrill, just like the wailing of some kind of animal in the night.
She suddenly woke up and opened her eyes wide. Her nerves tensed as she looked at the direction of the window in the darkness.
The curtain moved. Something raised a corner of the curtain and then flew in the air, and it seemed to be an outline of a woman.
Moreover, the outline flew towards her slowly, like a black sharp claw which wanted to seize her throat.
"Ah!"
A terrified scream sounded. Lara lifted the quilt and ran out.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Lara lived in the room on the second floor, and the bedroom of Lena and Gianni was next to her room. Hearing her scream, they immediately put on their clothes and ran out to ask.
They saw Lara who was wearing only thin pajamas with dishevelled hair. Her face was full of horror as she stared at the corner of the room with her eyes wide, and she was so scared that her body was trembling.
"She's coming! She's here!"
"Who?"
Everyone was confused. Some servants heard the scream and ran over, and they were all puzzled when they saw Lara like this.
"What's wrong with Miss Chapman?"
"Who's here?"
With a pale face, Lara suddenly grabbed Lena's wrist, widened her eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "Mom, she's back! She's back to kill me!"
Lena's expression changed when she heard this.
Gianni roared sternly, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who is back in the middle of the night?"
Lena glared at him fiercely. Noticing the confused but gossiping faces of the servants around him, Gianni seemed to realize something, and his face changed slightly.
At this moment, a stern and old voice came from behind.
"Why do you make such a noise here in the middle of the night?"
Someone helped Chloe come forward. Seeing this, Gianni said quickly, "It's Lara. There seemed to be a ghost in her room. She was so scared and ran out just now."
When Lara saw Chloe, she ran to her in a hurry, as if a drowning person had seen a life-saving straw.
"Grandma, help me! She is here! She wants to kill me!"
With her face darkened, Chloe glanced around with sharp eyes and said coldly, "Who dares to kill you? We're open and aboveboard with others, and we don't have to be afraid of anyone! I'll see who dares to play tricks in front of me! "
After speaking, she led a group of people into the room.
In the exquisitely decorated and luxurious bedroom, everything was normal. After she turned on the light, there was nothing strange except that the bed was a little messy because Lara had laid there.
"Lara, where is she?"
"Over the window!"
Lara grabbed Chloe's arm and pointed in the direction of the window with her body trembling.
"She's over there. I heard her crying, and she reached out and tried to seize my neck. I saw it all."
Chloe frowned.
Next to her, Lena ordered two servants, "Go and have a look."
"Okay."
The servant walked over, opened the curtains, and carefully checked inside and outside, including the balcony.
"Mrs. Chapman, Mr. Chapman, Miss Chapman, we have checked and no one is outside."
Chloe turned to look at Lara.
Lara stood there blankly with her face full of disbelief.
"It's impossible. I clearly heard the sound, and I saw her reaching out to me..."
"Is it because you're so tired recently that you had hallucinations?"
Chloe felt so distressed for Lara. Especially recently, she had a miscarriage because of Clarissa and had to stay at home to avoid scandals. She must be under a lot of pressure.
Therefore, even if she was awoken by Lara like this in the middle of the night, she was not angry.
Lara shook her head, "But... I saw it obviously!"
Lena looked at the window and frowned slightly. After a moment, she asked someone to turn off the light.
"Mom, why do you let them turn off the light?"
"Lara, look at this. Is this the hand you saw?"
Lena motioned to Lara to look at the direction of the window. The next second, Lara screamed.
