Chapter 226 Have A Quarrel
"Come on. Do you think that I don't know what you're thinking? You want to take everything from Clarissa since you were young."
"Now you're jealous because she lives a better life than you, so you want me to send gifts to you like a fool?"
"Lara, are you out of your mind because of filming? What do you regard my family as? Am I the money-spinner to satisfy your vanity?"
Lara had never expected that Elliot would say such ruthless words.
She sat there in disbelief, and her fingers were trembling with anger.
"Elliot! Do you still have a conscience? How can you say this? Haven't I done anything for you in the past few years? If it weren't for being with you, why should I wrong myself these years?"
"But now you actually treat me like this? You said that you would love me and be good to me for the rest of your life, so I became the mistress!'
"Elliot, I think I have never treated you badly, but what about you? You were so hesitant when you decided to marry me. Now I just want you to give me a gift, but you mock me and refuse me. Do you think that you have suffered losses because of our marriage? Or have you never thought about marrying me?"
Lara roared madly on the phone, and Elliot frowned so hard.
"I didn't say that I didn't want to marry you."
"Then what did you mean by those words?"
"I…"
Elliot thought of his father's warning and could only suppress the anger in his heart.
He said patiently, "I just want to say that the most important thing for us now is to make the outside world believe that we are deep in love. As for others things, you don't have to compare yourself with Clarissa at all."
"If we're really in a good relationship, you won't pay attention to these. We should understand and think for each other. What do you think? "
Lara clenched her fists, and her whole body was tense.
After a while, she said with a cold face, "What if I insist?"
Elliot's face darkened.
"Lara, don't be so willful!"
"Why should I be sensible? Do I deserve to be defeated by Clarissa? Should I be inferior to her? I can't accept it!"
"You are my husband, and I am bullied by others. Shouldn't you help me as my husband?"
"Or, in fact, you are afraid of Anderson's power, so you don't even dare to offend Clarissa?"
"Since you are going to be a coward, you can tell me directly. Don't worry! If you really can't help me, I won't force you. There are many men in this world who are willing to spend money for me!"
"Lara!"
Suddenly, Elliot roared at her sharply.
Only then did Lara react and realize that she had said something wrong in anger.
Her expression changed, and she wanted to explain, "Elliot..."
"Ha!"
Elliot sneered.
"What? You finally told me your true thoughts? Alright! Since you think I'm inferior to the others, just be with them. I don't mind it at all, really."
"That is not what I mean……"
"I don't care what you mean! Just remember that our marriage is just a deal of my family and your family. When the deal is over, we will break up. Don't disturb me again if you have nothing to say. That's it! Bye!"
After speaking, he hung up directly.
Lara was stunned.
The beeping sound of hanging up was like a steel knife, piercing her heart fiercely.
Elliot's cold words stimulated her more violently. She felt as if she was being stabbing by needles.
A deal?
Break up?
Haha…
Something that she had been unwilling to face was finally revealed by Elliot at this moment, and she became desperate when she faced the ugly and hurtful truth.
She thought, "Elliot, so do you think of me this way?"
"It turns out that my love for you all these yeas is just a deal in your eyes?"
Haha...
How ridiculous and ironic it was!
Lara held her phone and laughed so crazily that her body trembled and tears came out of her eyes uncontrollably.
"Elliot, you said this to me today, and you let me down!"
"Sooner or later, I will make you regret it!"
......
Two days later.
"Cannon Fodder Strategy" was finally completed in the rocky process.
All the shooting had been finished, and the others naturally could rest temporarily, but Clarissa and Dorian couldn't relax completely like the others, because they were the leading actors.
They needed to cooperate with the publicity, so did Lara and two other actors who had many proportions in the drama.
They attended a few activities, and the process was quite smooth.
Although Lara and Clarissa still couldn't get along well, Lara seemed to be in a bad spirit during this period of time.
She looked listless, as if she had suffered a severe blow, and she had lost a lot of weight.
Alvin was worried that she was tired and asked her to go back to rest, but Lara did not agree.
Since she and Elliot said harsh words to each other that night, her heart had been unable to calm down.
She followed the crew to promote the drama everywhere. In this way, she could have something to do and wouldn't have much time to think too much.
If she really returned home and stayed alone, she thought that she would go crazy!
Clarissa didn't know what had happened between Lara and Elliot, so she ignored Lara. But Lara was in a bad mood recently, and naturally she didn't have the energy to trouble her, so she was happy to live a peaceful life.
That day, Alvin called Clarissa and told her that there was a charity party at night, and he wanted to attend it with her and Lara.
In such a charity party, in addition to giving to charity, actresses would compete with each other for the beauty of looks.
Clarissa wore a black mermaid dress, looking gorgeous and lofty. Her hair was tied at will, and her neck was decorated with a diamond necklace in the style of a string of stars. She looked so noble and eye-catching.
Alvin walked around with her at first and chatted with a few investors.
He was not good at socializing, but he knew that he should greet them no matter how clumsy of speech he was.
Moreover, Clarissa had been working as a public relations manager for so many years, and she knew how to talk to them, so they brought out the best in each other.
Lara came here late. In the past, she usually attended such a party with Elliot.
She felt a little uncomfortable in heart for no reason when she came here alone.
A strong sense of disappointment made her well-painted face a little dejected and doleful.
Sophia couldn't follow her in, but she sent her to the door.
When they got off the car, she whispered, "Lara, I called Mr. Duncan. He seems to be busy tonight and won't come here."
Lara paused for a moment, and then let out a sigh of relief.
"I see."
After that, she walked in.
