Chapter 220 Perfidious
"Lara thought that as long as I wouldn't tell the truth, she would be all right. But she didn't know that the mistakes she has made are like a patched fishing net. Even if she tries to fix it, it will be broken one day."
"At that time, she will suffer more than she thinks! Losing the shares is much sadder than getting a bad reputation!"
Nora looked at her and saw her saying these words in a light and calm tone. She felt that the surrounding air was a little colder, and she couldn't help but shudder.
"Clarissa, you are horrible."
Clarissa raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "Nora, your words make me sad. Being kind to my enemies is cruel to myself, isn't it?"
Nora swallowed and nodded, "Yes, I understand. When I was training in the army before, my instructor said the same."
Clarissa smiled, "It's good that you can understand. It's late. Go back and rest early."
Nora nodded, and then got up and left.
The next day.
The public opinion on the Internet had reached a pitch.
Originally, Clarissa had had more than three million fans on Weibo, but a group of people retreated from their earlier positions and immediately unfollowed her after they saw the video of Lara's interview.
"No matter how beautiful she is, her character is not good!"
"She not only tried to ruin the relationship between Lara and Elliot but also wanted to frame Lara. How could she be so vicious?"
But there were also a large number of devoted fans who spoke for Clarissa.
Unless Clarissa admitted in person, they would never believe any rumors.
Besides, those words were said by Lara and were even more unreliable.
As for other people, some believed Clarissa and some believed Lara.
They argued with each other on the Internet everyday.
At this time, in the Chapman family.
Conner, Elliot and everyone in the Chapman family sat in the living room. The atmosphere was very solemn.
Conner said, "I have made the condition clear to you. As for whether to agree on it or not, it is all up to you. I believe that you understand how important Lara's reputation is to her. Think about it yourself!"
Chloe was so angry that she smashed a tea pot directly.
"This perfidious b*tch!"
Gianni chimed with her.
"Yes, back then, Mr. Duncan promised to give her three companies to shut her up! Why can she still use this to threaten us now?"
"If we compromise this time, does is mean that she can continue to blackmail us next time?"
Conner glanced at him with displeasure, as if he was in idiot.
He thought, "It was Lara who caused the trouble first."
"If she didn't talk nonsense in the interview, Clarissa would not have done so."
But it was impossible for him to say these words in front of Chapman family.
Finally, he just said in a deep voice, "Let's not talk about anything else. Now this is her only condition. My suggestion is that you'd better negotiate a result as soon as possible. After all, it's just 10% of the shares. Clarissa's surname is also Chapman, and she is a member of the Chapman family. It stands to reason that she deserves to get the shares."
"What's more, even if she gets the shares, it's not a big deal. In other words, it will not affect your Chapman family at all. However, as a public figure, if Lara is really accused of being a mistress, the consequences will be extremely terrible."
Gianni was still unwilling.
"Why should we listen to her? Will people believe her? She doesn't have any evidence, and she has even returned the marriage contract. As long as Elliot refuses to admit it, what could she do to us?"
Conner was silent and did not speak.
After a while, Elliot said, "We had been together for six years after all. If she really wants to do it, it will be easy for her to find evidence. Like the text messages, phone calls recorder, gifts in the past, and... the Richardson family can testify for her."
Gianni was speechless.
Lena frowned.
"Although Mrs. Richardson was fooled by us last time, if she thought about it carefully, she would surely understand what had happened. If Clarissa asks for her help, she will definitely help her."
Lara panicked when she heard the words.
"What should we do? Mom, we can't let her tell the truth! I don't want my future to be ruined by her!"
Lena patted her hand to comfort her and sighed helplessly.
At this moment, Chloe glanced at Conner.
Although she didn't speak, she was old and had been in charge of the Chapman family for a long time, so she naturally looked commanding though she didn't lose her temper.
Conner did not look at her eyes, but looked away slightly. His eyes flashed with an unnatural expression.
Chloe suddenly smiled.
"Mr. Duncan, since you cares about Lara so much, of course we know what is good and what is wrong. So, we will agree to this condition."
"Mom!"
Gianni said anxiously and tried to stop her, but Chloe gave him a warning look.
She added, "Well, tomorrow is a good day. Let her come here the day after tomorrow, and I will transfer the ownership of the shares to her face to face. By the way, let Lara and Elliot get the marriage certificate. In this way, this matter will be completely settled. Mr. Duncan, what do you think?"
Conner's back stiffened.
Beside him, Elliot's face was slightly cold.
After a while, Conner smiled awkwardly.
"Mrs. Chapman, getting married is a big thing. Isn't it bad to be so hasty?"
"There is nothing bad. They are young people. Some people even get married as soon as they meet. They have been together for several years, and it is not too hasty. If they can get married soon, I will be so relieved. What do you think?"
There was a dead silence in the living room.
Lara's face was a little pale. Maybe other people in the Chapman family didn't know that Elliot had broken up with her, but Chloe was a little aware of it.
Perhaps this was why she was in a hurry to let them get the marriage certificate. She wanted to make sure that they could get married.
Lara looked at Elliot nervously. His face was aloof and he didn't look happy at all.
She couldn't help but feel a little bitter in heart. She was about to say that if Elliot didn't want to, she wouldn't force him.
Unexpectedly, she heard Conner say, "Okay. In this case, let them get married the day after tomorrow."
Lara was stunned.
Elliot was taken aback.
Both of them looked at Conner in disbelief.
Conner stood up and reached out his hand to Chloe, "Since the matter has been settled, let's meet the day after tomorrow. The marriage is a bit hasty and we have to wrong Lara. Don't worry. After the matter is over, we will definitely give her a grand wedding."
Chloe, Gianni and Lena stood up happily and shook hands with him.
"Mr. Duncan, you're too polite. In the future, we'll be relatives by marriage. I have to trouble you to take care of Lara for us."
"That's what I should do."
