Chapter 242 The Noblest Family
Chloe sat there with her face darkened. She had not come to sense from this shocking news.
Lena looked at everyone worriedly and wanted to say something. But after trying several times, she didn't have the courage to speak.
She used to be a mistress. Although Chloe had accepted her, she didn't have a say in the Chapman family.
Let alone say something at such a juncture.
Therefore, she looked at Gianni imploringly, hoping that he could speak for Lara and begged for Chloe's mercy at this time.
But Gianni had always been afraid of Chloe, not to mention that Lara had kidnapped Clarissa boldly. This was illegal.
Fortunately, Lara had got married, and they could shift the blame to the Duncan family. If they got themselves involved, they would be in endless trouble.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Lara with resentment.
Lara didn't expect that he would have such an attitude. Suddenly, she got so mad that her throat tightened. Her anger was growing, bubbling up inside her.
After a long while, Chloe said.
"Apart from the driver, do they have any other evidence?"
Lara shook her head in a hurry.
"No, I'm sure. I've ruined the basement and killed the four men secretly."
"In fact, I gave the driver a sum of money and asked him to leave this city after he kidnapped Clarissa for me. I even burnt the car personally. I didn't expect his plate number to be photographed."
Hearing this, Chloe nodded.
"It's good that there is no other evidence. In the final analysis, they just found the driver but have no evidence to sue you directly."
"I'll let your father withdraw some money for you later. Don't do it yourself. Let Erin handle it. She knows what to do."
Lara nodded and understood.
Hearing Chloe's words, Lena was relieved.
She turned to look at Lara and said with concern, "What about the recording on the Internet? There is also a video of Rosie speaking for Clarissa. This matter must have a great impact on your career. Have you thought of a way to deal with it?"
Speaking of this, Lara went berserk.
Back then, she asked Rosie to frame Clarissa with confidence, but the result was really out of her expectation.
It seemed that she had got a fierce slap in the face.
She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Since this b*tch dares to betray me, I won't let her go!"
Gianni snorted coldly, "What can you do to her? She is willing to testify for Clarissa, and Clarissa will definitely protect her."
"We don't have to be afraid of Clarissa, but things will be difficult if Anderson intervened in. Do you want us to go against Anderson?"
Hearing Gianni's words, Lara got stunned and suddenly didn't know what to say.
No matter how powerful the Chapman family was in Visstead, they couldn't be compared with the Jordan family.
The Jordan family was the noblest family in Flaucford.
Even the Duncan family and the Jones family didn't dare to offend the Jordan family, let alone them.
Lara didn't speak anymore, and Chloe waved her hand impatiently.
"Alright! How could you say such mocking words as a father?"
As she said this, she turned her head to look at Lara.
"Go back first. I'll let your father transfer the money to you. When you go back, tell Elliot about this matter. Discuss with him if you meet something, and don't bear it yourself."
Lara nodded.
After she left, Lena let out a sigh of relief, got up and was about to prepare dinner in the kitchen.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she got up, Chloe stopped her.
Chloe looked at Lena, and her eyes were no longer as gentle and kind as just now. She said coldly, "Come with me. I have something to tell you."
Lena paused, and then nodded.
"Okay."
In Chloe's bedroom on the second floor.
Chloe was relaxed, sitting in the dark red rattan rocking chair and looking at Lena opposite her.
"The trouble Lara has caused can either be solved difficultly or easily. Others don't know Clarissa, but I know her well.
"What she has gone gets Lara a in big trouble. If Lara makes small mistakes now, her future and career will be completely ruined."
Lena frowned worriedly when she heard that.
"Mom, do you have any ideas?"
Chloe nodded.
"Do you remember the necklace that Clarissa took back from me?"
Lena was dumbfounded, "Yeah, what's wrong?"
"That is a very important token left by her mother. But unfortunately, that was fake."
Lena opened her eyes wide in surprise.
Chloe took out a mahogany brocade box from the drawer beside her.
After she opened the cover of the brocade box, Lena saw a classical ruby necklace wrapped by dark red velvet.
"This is…"
"Do they look alike?"
Lena nodded quickly.
"At the beginning, Sierra thought that none of us knew that she had transferred that child. But how could I not remember what my grandchild looked like?"
"Although she was just a small baby in the cradle, her nose and eyes didn't look like Gianni at all. Did she really think that I was stupid?"
"However, since this child had a powerful background, it couldn't be wrong to raise her. Anyway, she was just a girl. If one day she went back to her real family, she could bring us a fortune and it would be worthwhile."
"Unexpectedly, Clarissa is heartless! I have treated her well for so many years in vain. Since she is so unwise, I don't have to dote on her anymore."
Chloe was still speaking, but Lena was so shocked that she couldn't say a word.
She had vaguely guessed a little about Clarissa's background, but she didn't know it clearly.
She thought the Chloe hadn't noticed this matter at all, but she had known it a long time ago.
Besides, everything was just her plan!
Lena's face turned slightly pale. Sweat dripped from her forehead and a chill ran down her spine.
Chloe added as if she didn't see Lena's expression, "Since Lara has made such a trouble, if Anderson really wants to persue it further, we won't be able to protect her."
"Therefore, only she replaces Clarissa and truly becomes that person's daughter can she whitewash herself and help our family get rapid promotion. Am I right?"
Lena didn't know what to say at this time. She paused for a moment, and then reluctantly nodded.
"You're right."
"Then you should know what to do, right?"
"I…"
Lena suddenly understood something, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
Chloe looked at her with a grim face. Her shrewd eyes were commanding and threatening.
Lena opened her mouth, but she couldn't say anything.
Finally, she lowered her head.
"I see."
