Chapter 221 Anderson Was Jealous
In short, no matter what they were thinking in their minds, they all looked happy and harmonious on the surface.
Lara looked away and lowered her eyes, only to feel that her heart was beating violently. Her heart was overwhelmed by great joy, and she felt that she was about to faint due to happiness.
Elliot came to sense from the brief shock, but he understood his father's intentions in an instant.
He tensed his face. No matter how unwilling he was in heart, he couldn't say anything else at this time.
After Conner settled this matter thoroughly with Chloe, he left with Elliot.
As soon as they came out of the Chapman family, Elliot asked, "Dad, why did you promise them? Didn't you always want me to marry Lara? What is going on now?"
Conner looked at him with a cold face and said solemnly, "Do you think I am willing? But now I have no choice!"
"To be honest, now we're facing a major crisis. An extremely mysterious and well-funded overseas group has been trying to acquire our company. Fortunately, I bridge over the difficulty with the support of your uncles."
"But recently, they actually started to buy the individual shares of our company. You know that except for your trustworthy uncles, other members of the board of directors only care about money."
"As long as they are willing to pay good money, those people will be swayed sooner or later. At that time, even I can only watch the Duncan Group being purchased by them and can do nothing about it."
"You're my only son. Now I'm in charge of the Duncan Group, and you will be the president in the future. Those members of the board of directors are still waiting and watching. As long as I work harder, I should be able to stabilize them."
"But if now there is a scandal that you abandoned your ex-fiancee, what will they think?"
"Clarissa had been with you for six years, and she worked for Twilight with all her heart for two years, but you abandoned her at will. If those people who support you know this, will they still trust you wholeheartedly?"
"It's hard to make people believe you, but it's easy to make them doubt you. Elliot, we can't make a mistake now! So even if Chloe wants you to marry that woman, we have to accept it."
Elliot didn't expect that the Duncan Group, which seemed to be running smoothly, was in such a trouble.
While being shocked, he was still unwilling to marry Lara.
"But…"
"Shut up! She is just a woman. If you really don't want to see her, just marry her and don't care about her!"
"What's more, I don't understand. Didn't you like that woman very much before? Why are you so hesitant now? You're not responsible at all and you really annoy me!"
As Conner said, he got into the car.
He slammed the car door shut directly and refused to hear Elliot's words.
Looking at the black car that was driving away quickly, Elliot opened his mouth and couldn't really say something to reject.
Finally, he sighed with depression and walked to his own car.
In the Jordan Group.
Anderson sat in the president's office, and the atmosphere was a little intense.
Opposite him, David stood with a cautious face. Looking at Anderson's increasingly gloomy expression, he felt extremely nervous and disturbed.
He persuaded him in a soft voice, "Mr. Jordan, this is just Mrs. Jordan's plan! Don't be too worried. Didn't she call you to tell you about it specially last time?"
Anderson sneered.
"Her plan? Does she want these idiots to scold her?"
David was speechless.
It was really difficult to answer this question. No matter he said yes or no, it was wrong!
"Mr. Jordan, Mrs. Jordan wants to use her own way to let Elliot and Lara get the retribution they deserve. You should support her, and you can't cause her any trouble."
Anderson did not speak.
He gave tacit consent to David's words.
David wiped his cold sweat and felt a little relieved.
But the next second, Anderson suddenly said, "Why does she want to take revenge on Elliot in particular? Does she still like him? Does she want to ruin their relationship and be with him again?"
David's eyes widened.
Seeing that Anderson's eyes was getting colder and even crueler, he shook his head again and again sensibly.
"Of course not. Mr. Jordan, how can you think like this? You're the president of the Jordan Group! You're handsome and rich, and you treat Mrs. Jordan very well. How could she like Elliot but not like you?"
Anderson thought for a while and nodded, "You are right."
David wiped his cold sweat again.
"Who do you think is more handsome, Elliot or me?"
David was surprised.
He thought, "Oh my god!"
"There must be something wrong with Mr. Jordan!"
"In the past, he has never bothered to compare this with others, and he has been thinking that he is the most handsome man in the world since he was born. Now he is actually not confident enough to ask me if he is more handsome that another man!"
"Oh... What a poor man!"
David said in a hurry, "Of course you are more handsome. Elliot is just so-so and he can't be compared with you."
"Oh, really?"
"Of course! In addition to appearance, a man's temperament is the most important thing. Elliot looks not attractive at all! Look at you. You're simply a Prince Charming! Every woman admires you! Even Mrs. Jordan is crazy in love with you!"
Anderson turned his head and looked at his handsome face from the black glass opposite.
"Well, I think your words make sense."
David breathed a sigh of relief in heart.
While facing a troublesome question, he answered it wisely again.
Immediately afterwards, he heard Anderson say, "But Clarissa doesn't allow me to find her in the crew. I think, no matter how deep in love we're, we can't be separated for a long time. Am I right?"
David smiled helplessly.
"Mr. Jordan, what do you want to do?"
Anderson thought for a while, "Well, think about if there are any good gifts I can give her. Don't choose too expensive gifts, but creative ones. Clarissa doesn't like jewelry. She likes something special. If you have any opinions, tell me and I'll do it myself."
When David heard that Anderson was not going to find Clarissa in the crew, he was relieved. Then he quickly agreed and left.
At the same time, in the crew.
The filming was about to be completed, and every actor was busying acting these days, and the staff members in the crew worked overnight every day.
As the leading actress, Clarissa was naturally having a hard time. After staying up for three nights, she was so tired and Alvin let her go back to rest for half a day.
In the afternoon, as soon as she returned to the set, she saw a black Audi parked there. Elliot got off the car with a large bouquet of red roses and walked towards Lara with a smile.
