Chapter 252 Wishful Thinking
Gabriela's gentle face showed a worried look.
"Although you are very confident that you can succeed, you can't make sure of it. What I am worried about is that once other people find that you're here, the Chapman family will falsely accuse you and say that you are colluding with the police."
"The Jordan family is in a high position. Although they're powerful enough, they're extremely sensitive. The public opinion is very terrible. Sometimes the groundless rumours are easily go to extremes. The rumours will be used by others and finally affect the whole Jordan Family. "
Clarissa was silent for a while.
She lowered her eyes slightly, thought for a while and then suddenly said, "Miss Levine, it seems that you care about the Jordan Family very much."
Gabriela was taken aback.
She didn't understand Clarissa's words for a while.
After a moment, she reacted, and an unnatural look flashed across her face.
"Anderson and I grew up together, and Grandma Jordan and Auntie Chantel are very kind to me. Of course I don't want the Jordan Family to be affected."
Clarissa nodded.
She pondered for two seconds, and then suddenly asked, "I heard that you had a marriage contract before? It seems that... you used to be together?"
Hearing this, Gabriela's face blushed immediately..
She was not ugly, and she was not very gorgeous, but her skin was very white. She slightly lowered her head when she blushed, looking shy and charming.
She said in a low voice, "Yeah."
After a pause, she quickly in a hurry, "But don't misunderstand us. Although the relationship between Anderson and me was indeed very good, we were young at that time. Anderson and I broke up five years ago, and we won't be together again in the future."
Clarissa nodded.
"I know."
Gabriela was dumbfounded again.
Clarissa looked at the sky and knew that it was late, so she said, "I'm going in now. Do you still want to take the air here?"
Gabriela smiled reluctantly, "I'll stay a little longer."
"Okay, the night breeze on the seaside is quite cold. Pay attention to your health and don't stay for too long."
"I know. Thanks for your concern."
Clarissa didn't say anything else, got up and left.
Soon, Anderson knew that they had met in private.
Clarissa had just finished taking a shower and came out of the bathroom when she saw Anderson walking in with a serious face.
She was a little puzzled, "What's wrong?"
"Did Gabriela talk to you?"
Clarissa reacted and burst into laughter, "Yeah, why are you so nervous?"
"What did she say?"
Clarissa rolled her eyes slightly.
Looking at Anderson's nervous expression, she suddenly wanted to tease him.
She said thoughtfully, "She said that you are her ex-boyfriend, and you used to be in a good relationship. Although you have broken up, you two should still have a chance to be together again in the future."
Anderson was speechless.
Clarissa sighed.
"Alas! Did I take you away from her?"
Anderson said with a straight face, "Nonsense! I have nothing to do with her, and I have never promised to be with her. It is just the wishful thinking of the elders in our families."
Clarissa shook her head, "Tut, Anderson, as a man, you can't be so irresponsible. She regards you as her ex-boyfriend, but you say that you have never dated. You are like a scum."
Saying this, she patted his shoulder generously.
"Don't worry. I'm a very magnanimous person, and I won't make a fuss about what happened five years ago, so you can be frank."
Anderson was so angry that he almost had a stomachache.
"I said that there's nothing between me and her. Don't try to change the topic. What else did Gabriela say to you?"
Clarissa's face froze.
She smiled awkwardly, "Nothing. That's all what women would talk about."
"Are you sure?"
Clarissa's face was a little uneasy.
Honestly, although she had a foolproof plan, she did not take the Jordan Family into consideration.
Although she and Anderson had been together for a long time, she always consciously wanted to avoid the disputes in Flaucford.
Anderson didn't usually mention things in Flaucford in front of her, as if he knew what she was thinking. Therefore, she didn't know much about the situation of the Jordan Family in Flaucford.
Therefore, at certain moments, she did not even consider the influence of the Jordan Family.
She had to admit that she was negligent.
Clarissa felt a little guilty. If Anderson was really affected by her, she would definitely regret it.
After all, although revenge was important, the safety of him was even more important.
Anderson seemed to know what was on her mind and sighed.
He pulled her arm, held her hand and said solemnly, "Don't listen to her nonsense, and don't think too much. I am your husband. If I don't even have this kind of ability, how could I be qualified to protect you?"
Clarissa was startled slightly and raised her head.
Under the lights, Anderson looked calm, but his eyes were very serious.
"I allow you to do what you want in your own way, but it is based on the premise that you won't hide anything from me, and you won't change any decision for fear of affecting me."
"But the Jordan Family..."
"Nothing bad will happen to the Jordan Family."
"Gabriela said that someone wants to target the Jordan Family. If I can't succeed this time, what should you do?"
Anderson smiled coldly.
His gentle and peaceful eyes flashed with traces of harshness.
"You look down on me like this? If I can't even handle this, the Jordan Family would have been toppled long ago!"
As he said, he touched her head to comfort her.
"Don't worry. With me by your side, nothing will happen. You can just do what you want at ease."
Clarissa looked at him, and nodded after a while.
"Thank you, Anderson."
Anderson smiled evilly when he heard it.
"Would you like to thank me in another way?"
Clarissa knew what he wanted to do as soon as she looked at her eyes.
She glared at him, "Don't even think about it! Grandma and Anne are here. Maybe they will come over at anytime. If they bump into..."
Anderson showed an aggrieved expression.
"Honey, I just want a kiss. What are you thinking? Don't tell me that you are thinking about..."
Clarissa was stunned.
Only then did she realize that she had been fooled by him again.
She suddenly went mad and raised her fist to hit him.
"Anderson, you b*stard!"
......
That night, at three o'clock in the morning.
Lara, who was sleeping in the police station, was suddenly awakened by a sound.
She opened her eyes and saw a figure walking out quickly in a daze. The door that had been tightly closed was open, and there was a mobile phone and a key beside her bed.
She suddenly woke up with a start.
It was silent outside. It seemed that everyone had been sent away. She hesitated for a few seconds, picked up the phone and key, and then walked outside.
There was no one in the corridor. Only a security guard on duty was dozing in the security room.
She broke into a cold sweat in fear, but she only hesitated for a moment before she quickly ran out with the phone and key.
