Chapter 210 Still Care About Her
He suddenly got up from the chair and stared at the phone with a livid face.
The secretary happened to come in and reported to him respectfully, "Mr. Duncan, the board meeting will start in ten minutes."
Elliot's face darkened and he did not speak.
After a few seconds, he said, "I see. Go out first."
The secretary nodded and left.
Elliot took a deep breath, suppressed the irritation in his heart and dialed a number.
The phone was connected soon, and Lara's surprised voice came from the phone, "Elliot!"
"What are you doing?"
"Me?" Lara sat in the hospital, glanced at Sophia next to her and said with a guilty conscience, "Nothing. I'm in the crew..."
"In the crew? Ha! It seems that you still don't know what happened online."
Lara was taken aback and didn't know what was going on.
"Online? What happened?"
"See what you have done on your own!"
Elliot roared and hung up the phone directly.
Lara was stunned. After a few seconds, she reacted and hurriedly logged in Weibo.
People were discussing about this matter hotly on the Internet. The video of her slapping Clarissa had become the hottest topic. Lots of people were scolding her and all the comments were against her.
Lara's face changed as she quickly clicked the video to have a look. Then she became furious.
This b*tch!
It must be her!
Clarissa must have plotted against her deliberately. No wonder she felt so strange. When Clarissa saw Elliot, she always treated him indifferently. Why did she suddenly become so enthusiastic that day?
She must have said those things deliberately to irritate her and then asked someone to take this video secretly.
This vicious woman!
Lara panicked. Thinking of Elliot's angry tone just now, she suddenly felt more nervous.
She quickly called him back.
As soon as the phone was connected, she explained anxiously, "Elliot, listen to me. Clarissa framed me. What people said online is not the truth."
Elliot's voice was sinister, "You mean that she approached you on her own and asked you to slap her?"
Lara was speechless.
"Elliot, you have to believe me. I really didn't hit her deliberately. She irritated me, so I was angry..."
Lara burst into tears. She sobbed, "How could Clarissa do that? She not only plotted against me, but also made a big thing out of it. She clearly knows how important this comeback is to me!"
At this moment, the doctor happened to come over and called her, "Lara, come here and apply medicine."
Elliot keenly heard these words on the phone and asked suspiciously, "Where are you?"
"I..." Lara hesitated for a moment, but didn't tell him.
Sophia couldn't help but grab the phone and say with annoyance, "Mr. Duncan, you just blame Lara, but you don't know that Lara has beaten by that malicious b*tch because of you!"
"Let me tell you the truth. We are in the hospital now! Lara was not only slapped twice by Clarissa, but was also kicked by her bodyguard. The doctor said that her ribs have been broken. If I didn't sent her to the hospital in time, she might suffer from sequelae!"
"Sophia, why do you say this?"
Lara snatched the phone immediately and said anxiously, "Elliot, I'm fine, and you don't have to worry about me. Clarissa... has always been aggressive, and she might not do it on purpose."
Elliot was quiet for a moment.
Lara and Sophia held their breaths, waiting for his response.
After a moment, he took a deep breath and his tone softened.
"Are you injured?"
Lara shook her head, "A little bit. It's not serious."
"Which hospital are you in? I'll be right there."
Lara bit her lip and said in a dilemma, "Elliot, will I disturb your work?"
"No, send me the address."
"Okay then!"
After hanging up the phone, Lara sent the address to him.
Sophia observed her expression and said, "Mr. Duncan comes here as soon as he heard that you were injured, which means that he still cares about you."
Lara nodded, "Of course."
Only then did she feel a little relaxed in heart.
No matter what tricks Clarissa had used against Elliot, he still loved her.
Otherwise, he wouldn't put aside his work and came here when he heard that she was injured.
There was no doubt that Elliot cared about her!
Thinking like this, Lara was no longer as flustered as before. She walked over and asked the doctor to apply medicine to her.
Thirty minutes later, Elliot arrived in the hospital.
Erin came with him.
Erin had seen the video on the Internet.
She had ordered her assistants to subside this matter at all costs and delete the video first.
She knew that half a day had passed and she could no longer control the public opinion. Even if she removed the hot research and deleted the video at this time, it was of no use.
But at least it was better than doing nothing.
Erin comforted herself in heart like this. Seeing Lara, she quickly stepped forward and looked at her up and down first. Then she asked with concern, "How are you? Are you okay?"
Lara pursed her lips and shook her head.
She looked at Elliot who was standing behind Erin, on the verge of tears.
"Elliot, I'm sorry. I caused you trouble again."
Elliot's face was somewhat mad.
What happened that day was out of his expectation.
He never expected that Lara would be so impulsive and beat Clarissa on the set.
Moreover, the video of her slapping Clarissa was taken, and she didn't gain anything for herself.
She was extremely stupid!
He was angry, but he couldn't lose his temper when he looked at Lara's weak appearance. He could only suppress his annoyance and asked with his face darkened, "What exactly had happened? Tell me in detail."
Therefore, Lara and Sophia told him about the situation on the set.
Of course, they were mainly telling the truth, but they twisted the facts when it came to some details.
After speaking, Lara wiped her tears with a tissue, looking so sad.
"I admit that I was too impulsive at that time, but Clarissa went too far! I just wanted to question her, but she asked her bodyguard to beat me! She is simply an unreasonable barbarian!"
Looking at her crying face, Elliot felt inexplicably annoyed.
He waved his hand, "Alright, I'll deal with this matter. Don't go to the crew these days. I'll tell Alvin about it. You can go back after this matter blows over."
Lara bit her lip. After a while, she agreed feebly.
