Chapter 251 Extremely Awkward
The atmosphere immediately became awkward.
Matteo hurriedly pulled Angara and smiled with embarrassment.
"Anne just likes to talk nonsense! Ha-ha, Gabriela, don't take it to heart. Children just say what they like!"
Gabriela sneered in heart.
Children and fools spoke the truth.
Gabriela really got angry.
She always maintained a very thin figure, because she used to be a model. Although she was not as perfectly proportioned Clarissa, she was not ugly!
Moreover, it was well-known that she had a remarkable temperament. Although her facial features were not particularly outstanding, her whole face looked very pleasant to the eye.
Therefore, she had a very famous title "Snow White" in the entertainment circle.
The reason why she was called "Snow White" was not that she really looked like Snow White, but her skin was particularly white, and she was slender and had an excellent temperament. When she stood there, she looked lofty and proud, just like a noble princess.
But she was worse than Clarissa in Anne's eyes!
Gabriela wanted to sneer in her heart, but she desperately comforted herself because she was staying with Matteo and Anne.
Anne was just a child, and the appreciation of children was different from that of adults.
Children also like blonde Barbie dolls! Should she compare herself with dolls?
After comforting herself like this, Gabriela finally felt more comfortable in heart.
She no longer said that she wanted to teach Anne to swim, and changed the topic, "By the way, there are many rumors saying that Miss Chapman has been kidnapped and she is missing, but I just saw her just now. Are the rumors online fake?"
Matteo looked at her with a complicated expression.
"This is a long story. I can tell you, but you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone else that Clarissa is here. Can you do it?"
Gabriela nodded.
So Matteo told her what had happened.
Matteo had no choice but to do this. Since Gabriela was here, even if she didn't say it, Gabriela could guess it herself.
Instead of letting her guess it wildly, she might as well just tell her the truth.
The Jordan family and the Levine family were old family friends, so Matteo knew that Gabriela didn't dare to tell others about it.
After listening to Matteo's words, Gabriela was silent for a long time.
Matteo was a little worried, for fear that Gabriela would regard Clarissa as a scheming and vicious woman.
So she quickly explained, "Clarissa has no other choices. Her mother was killed by them and she is a filial child. She had no other way to verify it, so she can only do this. You can't ruin her plan."
Gabriela smiled softly.
"Don't worry. I will pretend to have never heard of this. It has nothing to do with me, and I will definitely not tell others."
Only then did Matteo nod in relief.
Since Gabriela had come here, she naturally wouldn't leave so fast.
Anderson was actually a little dissatisfied when he learned that Gabriela had come.
But Clarissa persuaded him, so he didn't behave very unhappily.
They had dinner together. Anne had been sitting next to Clarissa, being so clinging to her.
She was simply a little clinging darling.
Matteo and Anderson had long been used to it, and they didn't think it was strange, but Gabriela was very surprised.
When Anne didn't want her to teach her to swim, she thought that Anne was just unfamiliar with her because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Clarissa had been with Anne these days, so it was normal that Anne trusted her more.
However, it seemed that Clarissa was completely trusted by Anne.
Besides, Anne liked her more than Anderson.
How could it be?
Gabriela lowered her eyes slightly, and a vicious expression flashed across her eyes.
Anderson, who was next to her, also cared about Clarissa so much.
His gentle eyes and doting tone were something she had never seen before. Even when she was with him before, he always treated her indifferently and never took the initiative to care about her.
Gabriela was jealous, and she couldn't tell how she felt.
Sitting there and watching them caring about each other, she suddenly felt that she was like an embarrassed outsider.
It was improper and awkward.
She pursed her lips and her face darkened, but she didn't show her annoyance.
After eating and resting for a while, Matteo took Anne to have a bath, and Anderson went to attend a video conference, while Clarissa went for a blow on the balcony.
Gabriela plucked up her courage and walked over.
"Miss Chapman."
Clarissa turned her head and smiled slightly when she saw Gabriela.
"Miss Levine, are you here for a blow?"
"Yeah, it's a little hot in the room, so I came out and stand for a while."
Clarissa let her do as she wished and moved aside.
Gabriela walked to her and leaned against the white railing as well.
"This afternoon, Grandma Jordan told me about your plan, so now I finally understand why you stay on this small island and don't show up, but you can rest assured. I have promised Grandma Jordan that I won't tell others about it."
The expression on Clarissa's face did not change, and she was still lazy and leisurely, not looking grateful or panicked at all.
"Thank you, Miss Levine."
Gabriela was stunned.
Facing with Clarissa's neither humble nor arrogant attitude, she always felt that she had no way to vent her anger.
She received a good family education, so it was impossible for her to say something to provoke Clarissa. But the uncomfortable feeling in her heart was real, and she couldn't ignore it.
"But do you know that if people know that you are here, they will make a big thing out of it? At that time, not only you, but Anderson will also get involved."
Clarissa raised her eyebrows.
She seemed a bit surprised.
Gabriela pursed her lips.
"I know that it might be a little inappropriate for me to say these words, but I don't want Anderson to be implicated as his friend."
"I know you are very smart, and maybe you're confident that they will fall into your trap. But what you don't know is that although the Jordan Family looks powerful in Flaucford, they're not completely safe. A person in a high position is liable to be attacked."
"There are four powerful families in Flaucford, the Jordan family, the Holland family, the Levine family and the Blaine family. Maybe they look harmonious on the surface, but people don't know that they're intriguing against each other."
"Especially the Holland family, it is developing faster than the Jordan family in recent years. Two tigers cannot live on the same mountain. Although the four families seem to be on the same level, the Jordan Family is always the most powerful one."
"If the Holland family wants to be the powerful one, they must topple the Jordan family first, and Anderson is their key breakthrough target, so nothing bad can happen to him."
Clarissa looked at her calmly without interrupting her.
