Chapter 244 Go To The Island
Lara's eyes widened in shock.
"You mean…"
Erin sneered.
"What people hate most is the collusion among powerful and rich people. What if Anderson supports Clarissa? The better Anderson treats her, the more people will think that the rich can do whatever they want."
"In this way, people will start to hate her. Do you really think that the Jordan Family has no enemies in Flaucford? Ha! Someone has coveted its status for a long time."
"If the Jordan Group is under pressure because of the public opinion, the Jordan family will definitely put pressure on Anderson. At that time, family interests and a woman, which one do you think Anderson will choose?"
Lara was stunned.
After a moment, she reacted and smiled with joy.
"I see! Erin, so the most important we should do is to find Clarissa?"
"Yeah, we must prove that she was not kidnapped, so that everyone can believe that what happened is just her lie!"
Lara nodded.
"Okay, I see. I will try to find her."
......
Lara was thinking of a way to find Clarissa.
At the same time, Clarissa had received the news.
After all, from the moment the driver was exposed, she knew that Lara was about to find her.
She couldn't stay in Estdal Manor anymore. Although Lara wasn't bold enough to break in directly, this place was eye-cathing and she would easily be found.
Clarissa thought about it again and again. When she was wondering where she could hide, Matteo called her.
"Clarissa, what are you doing? How are you keeping these days?"
Matteo called Anderson's phone and asked Clarissa to talk to her.
Anderson was afraid that they would worried about Clarissa, and he had told them the truth in advance.
Clarissa replied in a hurry, "I'm fine, and I've been staying at home. How about you? How are you these days?"
"I'm pretty good, but Anne misses you very much and keeps clamoring to see you. Can I bring her over to play with you for two days when you have time?"
"Well…"
Clarissa was in a dilemma.
So many things had happened recently. She had to force the Chapman family to confess the crimes they had committed against her mother, so she couldn't show up.
But Anne...
Matteo seemed to know that she was hesitant and said quickly, "I bought an island in the south not along ago. The scenery there is so beautiful. I also opened a hotel there. The chef used to be the chef who was responsible for the state banquet, and his cooking skills are amazing. When will you be free? Let's go to the island for a vacation together."
If Clarissa doesn't understand what she meant, she would really be stupid.
She said in a hurry, "No problem. You can arrange the time."
"In this case, I will ask Anderson to send you here tomorrow."
"Okay."
After it was settled, Matteo hung up.
Anderson looked at her expectantly beside her. Seeing that she had hung up the phone, he asked, "Did you agree?"
Clarissa nodded, "Yeah, grandma asked me to go there tomorrow."
"Oh."
The expression in his eyes changed slightly and he seemed to be thinking about something.
Clarissa was a little curious and asked, "Grandma said she bought a small island in the south? It costs a lot of money to buy an island, right? Does she want to develop tourism?"
Anderson waved his hand unconcernedly.
"No. She is old, so she bought it so that she could live in the south in in retirement."
Clarissa was speechless.
All right! The thoughts of rich people were beyond her imagination.
It was really luxurious and amazing to buy an island for the retirement!
Matteo was efficient. As soon as it was settled, Anderson sent Clarissa there.
Early the next morning, Clarissa arrived at the island by plane.
The island was not only beautiful in scenery, but also had a nice name "Peaceland".
Matteo said that there were many precious birds on this island, some of which were on the verge of extinction due to the wild catch by nearby fishermen and the poor ecological environment.
She bought the island to give them a peaceful and beautiful habitat.
Anne had heard the news that Clarissa would come, and she had been excited since the morning.
When Clarissa arrived there at noon, she went to meet her in a hurry.
Clarissa hadn't seen her for a long time and naturally missed her very much. As soon as they met, they hugged each other for a long while.
Matteo looked her up and down and said with distress, "Oh, you look much thinner. Clarissa, I heard that you were kidnapped. How was it? Did you get injured?"
Clarissa smiled and shook her head, "I'm fine, and I was more scared than hurt."
The wounds on her hand were not deep, and they were cured after a few days.
Before coming, she was afraid that Matteo and Anne would be worried, so she removed the gauze. Although a light-colored scar could still be seen on the palm, it didn't look serious and terrible.
Hearing this, Matteo nodded in relief.
She asked them to come into the hotel.
There was only one hotel on the island, and Matteo had arranged a room for them before they came.
Clarissa and Anderson went back to the room to rest for a while and didn't come out until lunch.
Grandpa Jordan had been in poor health, so he didn't come out with them this time.
But Matteo had always been talkative. She was in her seventies, but she maintained a young attitude of mind and hated evil people.
She was so mad when she knew that Clarissa was bullied. She was full of righteous indignation and wanted to take revenge for her.
Clarissa just laughed, thinking that she was very cute, but she knew in heart that Matteo regarded her as her own child and cared about her, so she was even more touched.
"Grandma, don't interfere in this matter. Clarissa has her own idea."
Halfway through, Anderson couldn't stand it anymore and said.
Matteo rolled her eyes at him when she heard this.
"What? As Clarissa's husband, you can't even protect her well. Now she even has to take revenge by herself! Are you out of your mind?"
Matteo didn't show any mercy when she scolded Anderson.
Anderson's face darkened. Seeing this,Clarissa immediately explained.
"Grandma, it's not that he refused to help me, but I didn't want his help."
Then she told Matteo about the grievances between her and Lara and the cause of her mother's death.
Including how she was driven out of the Chapman family five years ago, and how Lara and her mother occupied all of her property. They even made things difficult for her when she wanted to get her mother's effects back.
Matteo went off the deep end after she heard that.
"For crying out loud! How could they do such a thing? Why haven't Lara and her mother got their retribution since they're so shameless?"
Clarissa sneered lightly.
"Even an upright official finds it hard to settle a family quarrel. I can't blame others for this. I was too young and naive five years ago and didn't think so much. If I could be smarter at that time and sensed the strangeness about my mother's death, I wouldn't have much ado now."
Matteo felt very distressed and patted her hand comfortingly.
Suddenly, she thought of something and asked curiously, "You said that your mother left you only a necklace before she died?"
