Chapter 21 Who Do You Want To Seduce
Some people whispered, "Who's that? She's so beautiful!"
"I don't know. Maybe she is a guest invited by the Chapman family!"
When Clarissa left the Chapman family five years ago, she was still young and her facial features were not fully developed. Very few people had seen her because she had been studying in school most of the time.
So when she reappeared, no one recognized her.
Although other people didn't know her, Lara knew her.
At this time, she was surrounded by a group of people. When she saw Clarissa coming in from the door, she got a little stunned.
She thought, "Is that Clarissa?"
In her impression, Clarissa was always dressed in professional suit or ordinary casual clothes.
Although she looked clean and neat, it was simple and tedious. She dressed like that every day and was not feminine at all.
Moreover, she didn't like to put on makeup or take care of her hair. Her hair was always black, long, and straight, making her look elderly.
Being compared with girls of the ordinary working class, she looked pretty.
However, among the daughters from rich families who dressed up every day, she didn't look more attractive than them.
However, such an ordinary person appeared like an angel that night, captivating everyone with her radiant look.
Lara clenched her fists tightly.
The girls around her asked her curiously, "Lara, who is she? She's so beautiful. Is she also a guest you've invited today?"
"Could she be a star?"
"I don't think so. If she were a star, she would have been famous long ago, and we should know her."
What they said was like steel needles piercing into Lara's heart one by one, making her feel so uncomfortable.
She gritted her teeth and took a deep breath after a while.
"Don't you know her? She's my elder sister, Clarissa!"
"What?"
"How could it be her?"
The people around her were all surprised.
Lara smiled gently, "No wonder you didn't recognize her. She has changed a lot compared with five years ago. In fact, if this is the first time I saw her, I wouldn't believe that she is Clarissa, either!"
Someone immediately understood what she meant by saying that.
"Do you mean that Clarissa had a plastic surgery?"
"No wonder she looks so beautiful now. I used to think that she was quite ordinary."
"Tsk! Maybe the scandal five years ago had a bad influence on her, and she was afraid of being hated by others, so she received a plastic surgery!"
"Puff. What you said makes sense."
Lara pretended to be in a dilemma.
"Don't talk about Clarissa like that. It wasn't her fault five years ago..."
"Lara, you're too kind. If she hadn't stolen your work, how could you miss the chance of being admitted to Winters School of Fine Arts?"
"That's right. She went abroad and nothing happened to her. But how about you? You had been sad for such a long time. Who could pay for your losses?"
"In my opinion, since she comes back this time, she may want to hurt you again. Lara, you have to be careful!"
A group of people were talking about it. Lara persuaded them in a low voice, but her eyes were so smug.
At the same time, Clarissa walked to Chloe.
"Why do you arrive so late?"
Gianni frowned unhappily.
Clarissa glanced at him coldly and said in an indifferent voice, "You should feel happy that I'm willing to come here, Mr. Chapman."
"How dare you!"
Gianni was pissed off by her arrogant attitude. He glanced at her dress and shouted at her angrily.
"Look at you! What are you wearing today? It's Lara's birthday banquet today, not yours! Who do you want to seduce by dressing up like this?"
Clarissa looked at him with slightly shocked eyes.
Although she knew that Gianni didn't love her, she didn't expect him to hate her to this extent.
How could a father would say something like this to his daughter?
She felt sad in her heart, but there was no expression on her face.
"What I wear is none of your business!"
"How dare you!"
"Alright!"
A dignified voice sounded, and Chloe suddenly interrupted Gianni's words.
She waved at a waiter and asked him to give a glass of wine to Clarissa. Then she said in a deep voice, "Don't quarrel in public! We're families! Shut up!"
Gianni was not convinced and wanted to say something more, but Chloe glared at him.
He had to shut up and stop talking.
Clarissa smiled coldly. The waiter gave her a glass of cocktail. It was fragrant and it smelled really delicious.
Chloe glanced at Clarissa and fixed her eyes on the wine in Clarissa's hand for a second. Her face eased a lot as she said, "Your god grandmother is here. About what happened between you and Elliot, you should know how to explain to her, right?"
"What do you want me to say?"
"Just tell her that you broke up very early because of a personality clash, and it has nothing to do with Lara."
Clarissa sneered with sarcasm and agreed without hesitation, "Okay."
Chloe nodded with satisfaction. Suddenly, she raised her glass and clinked hers.
"Sorry to let you suffer from injustice. But don't worry, I'll remember all your contributions, and I'll make it up to you in the future."
Clarissa raised her eyebrows and was a little bit surprised by Chloe's attitude.
However, she didn't think much. She only thought that Chloe was begging her, so she deliberately said these kind words. She was thirsty, so she raised her glass and took a sip.
After drinking, Chloe walked to Madison with Clarissa
Madison had seen Clarissa when she arrived, because she came here just to see Clarissa.
They hadn't seen each other for five years. When she saw Clarissa, she found that the shy little girl had already grown up.
Clarissa's cold and elegant temperament was exactly the same as her mother's. Seeing Clarissa, Madison seemed to see her mother.
She was so excited that she asked her servant to help her walk to Clarissa shakily before they approached her.
"Clarissa! It's really you!"
Seeing this, Clarissa stepped forward in a hurry to hold her.
"Grandma."
"Clarissa, when did you come back? Why didn't you come to see me?"
Madison, who had always been calm, was so excited that her eyes glistened with tears, and Clarissa was also touched.
"I'm sorry that I didn't come to see you. How are you these years?"
"I'm fine."
What happened five years ago was a knot in Clarissa's heart. Therefore, when she returned home two years ago, she didn't contact many people.
Madison seemed to understand her. She patted her hand and comforted her, "My child, it's all over. It's good that you've come back."
Chloe stepped forward and said with a smile, "Mrs. Richardson, Clarissa has something to say to you."
As she spoke, she gave Clarissa a warning look.
Clarissa laughed mockingly, "Don't hurry. I will naturally tell grandma what you want me to say. Can't I talk about the old days with grandma first?"
