Chapter 243 Turn The Table
The rumors about Lara hiring a murderer to kidnap Clarissa kept spreading online.
The previous recording and Rosie's testimony also became trending topics.
Suddenly, Lara became notorious in the entertainment circle. Although some people believed that she was innocent, the evidence was irrefutable and most people would rather believe what they saw with their own eyes.
Therefore, more and more people attacked Lara online.
That afternoon, Clarissa was resting at home when she received a call from Nora.
She was told that a famous lawyer went to the police station and wanted to see the driver.
The driver had not been convicted yet and he had the right to meet a lawyer, so they couldn't stop him.
Too many people were involved in this matter, and the reporters had long been waiting outside the police station, wishing to get more shocking news.
So Clarissa couldn't come forward at this time. Even Anderson should not do anything for her.
Clarissa thought for a while and said, "Let them meet. It's okay."
Nora was a little worried.
"If the driver changes his statement, it will be very detrimental to you."
Clarissa sneered coldly.
"Don't worry. Since I've made up my mind to ruin Lara's life completely, of course I still have other tricks."
Hearing what she said, Nora was relieved.
At the same time, Erin managed to find someone to bribe the driver and rest assured.
Unexpectedly, the police issued another announcement that night.
They said that they had found the place where Clarissa was locked at first, and they even posted the address and photos of the basement.
The announcement made it very clear that although they had tried their best to find this place, the kidnapper seemed to have noticed it in advance and left with Clarissa.
In other words, they hadn't found Clarissa.
When Erin saw those photos, she was frightened out of her wits.
She found Lara to confirm it in a hurry.
When Lara looked at the photos on the Internet, she was startled.
No way!
She had obviously destroyed the basement and all the traces of her and Clarissa.
How could they photograph these pictures?
In the photo, the basement was exactly the same as it was when Clarissa was imprisoned.
On the operating table, it could be faintly seen that someone had struggled on it.
The last picture was of a ring.
The police claimed that they found the ring at the scene of the crime. They asked Clarissa's assistant and learnt that it was not Clarissa's ring.
That was to say, the ring was most likely to belong to the person who planned the kidnapping.
The picture of the ring was very clear. There was a shiny heart-shaped diamond on it.
A shiver ran down Lara's spine as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on her and she was trembling due to coldness.
How... could it be?
Wasn't the ring... broken a long time ago?
Rosie said that she had taken the ring for repair. How could it be there?
Rosie?
Lara suddenly thought of something and her eyes widened.
This b*tch! How dared they collude with each other and frame her together!
Lara was going crazy. However, no matter how she felt she was innocent, someone still found the photos of her attending an activity before.
They had her hand enlarged and saw the heart-shaped diamond ring on her finger.
"Oh my god! Is Lara crazy? She really kidnapped Clarissa!"
"This ring seems to be a love token of her and Mr. Duncan."
"Yeah. I remember that she admitted it in an interview before. Let me search for the video."
Soon, the video was found by netizens.
Shortly after Clarissa caught her and Elliot on bed, Elliot gave her this ring at their engagement ceremony.
When Lara was interviewed, some reporters noticed this ring and asked her about it.
She proudly showed off the ring to them.
At that time, in order to let everyone see this fine diamond carefully, she even raised her hand to face the camera deliberately, so that they could take clearer pictures of the ring.
Unexpectedly, it became the evidence of her crime.
Lara's face was completely pale. She staggered and fell on the sofa.
Erin didn't know what to say. She held her head and sighed.
"Didn't you say that all the evidence has been destroyed? What is going on now?"
Lara shook her head.
Her eyes glistened with tears because of the huge panic and helplessness.
"I don't know. I have obviously destroyed the basement, and I asked someone to remove everything inside, including the operating table. How could they takes such pictures?"
She paused and looked at Erin with an ashy face.
"Erin, she must have planned it long ago. Being kidnapped by me was just her scheme! That was why she could take these photos!"
"They couldn't take these photos after she escaped, and it was impossible for them to find the ring at the scene of the crime!"
"They colluded with each other to plot against me. She set up a trap for me and was waiting for me to jump in!"
Erin said sarcastically.
"Even if it was a trap, didn't you jump in obediently?"
Lara was speechless.
Feeling the dissatisfaction in Erin's tone, her face darkened slightly.
"Now even you say to me like this? Are you disappointed in me and want to leave me?"
Erin was stunned.
In fact, she was no longer as capable as before. Although she was well qualified after working in the entertainment circle for many years, her ability had long been inferior to those of the agents and public relations managers who were younger than her.
Each new generation excelled the last one. Her experiences and mind-sets had become obsolete.
Lara could be regarded as the most famous actress she worked for. Even for her own future, she did not want Lara's career to be ruined.
Thinking of this, Erin sighed.
"Don't think too much. I didn't mean that."
She paused and said, "The current situation is not good for us at all. Do you have any ideas?"
Lara shook her head.
"I don't know. My mind is in a mess now."
Erin thought for a while and frowned slightly.
"If what you said is right, and this is just Clarissa's scheme, the only way is to find her. As long as it is proved that she is fine and free, facts will eventually scotch rumors, and... …"
She thought for a while and a sly smile flashed across her eyes.
"If we handle it properly, we might be able to turn the table."
Lara was taken aback and looked at her, "How?"
"Ha! If people know that Clarissa is not only okay, but also planned all these things and birded the police to frame you and drive you out of the entertainment circle so that she could get everything from you. What will they think?"
