Chapter 259 Being Ruthess
She spoke righteously and tipped her bodyguards a wink. The two bodyguards immediately stepped forward.
However, before they could get close to Clarissa, Nora came forward with several bodyguards and stood in front of Clarissa.
The atmosphere froze, and it was an explosive situation.
Clarissa looked at Chloe and sneered, "What's wrong? Are you trying to evade the crucial point? Or do you think that people will really be fooled by your words when things have come to this?"
She raised the recorder, faced the media and the cameras and said in a deep voice, "I can use my personality to guarantee that these conversations are absolutely true. If you still don't believe me, I can give it to the police for identification. You can see if this is something counterfeit."
After speaking, she really handed the recorder to a policeman.
Chloe opened her eyes wide and was very anxious.
"Clarissa!"
Gianni was very worried. He rushed forward and wanted to snatch the recorder, but a policeman stopped him.
"Mr. Chapman, this is an important evidence. Please don't snatch it."
Gianni suddenly went berserk. He looked at Clarissa with hatred and cursed her, "Clarissa! Do you want to ruin the Chapman family so much? You won't be satisfied until all of us have died, right?"
Clarissa thought it was funny.
"Mr. Chapman, didn't you keep saying that you are innocent? In this case, why are you so anxious?"
"Just let the police identify it. If it is fake, it will prove your innocence, won't it?"
Gianni suddenly didn't know what to say.
Chloe glared at Clarissa apathetically, while Clarissa looked back at her graciously with calm and frank eyes.
A reporter asked, "Miss Chapman, is the kidnapping the way you used to take revenge on the Chapman family?"
"No."
"What? No?"
People let out a low cry of surprise.
After all, Lara said that Clarissa hadn't been kidnapped at all, and Clarissa schemed all these just to frame her.
The fact showed that Clarissa was indeed standing here safe and sound.
Seeing everyone's puzzled face, Clarissa explained, "I was really kidnapped a few days ago, but I was lucky and took a chance to escape halfway through."
"When I knew that the real culprit of my kidnapping was Lara, I did not dare to go home, and I accidentally learned the truth about my mother's car accident five years ago."
"So I applied for the cooperation of the police to pretend that I was missing. Although I had no other choices at that time, I still want to apologize to you for the trouble I've caused to you these days."
"At the same time, I hope you can understand that as a daughter, I am eager to know the truth about my mother's death."
Another reporter asked her, "May I ask you if it was you who kidnapped Lara?"
Clarissa shook her head, "No."
As soon as she said this, people burst into an uproar.
"You mean that you didn't kidnap her, let alone imprison her?"
Clarissa nodded.
"I can swear in my mother's name. Since I came to Peaceland, I have never seen her. I don't know who kidnapped her."
"But since she has done lots of arrogant things in private, maybe she has other enemies. If you really want to know about it, you can investigate from this aspect."
After Clarissa finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in surprise.
Through the various news and scandals in the previous six months, people had known a little about Lara's real character, so they didn't feel strange when they heard Clarissa's words.
However, Lara got a little disturbed and roared, "Clarissa, you are talking nonsense! Obviously, it was you who kidnapped me to that boat!"
"You even threatened me and said that you would kill me. If I didn't escape by myself, I would have been killed by you. How dare you lie to people?"
Clarissa glanced at her lazily and sneered, "Oh? You keep accusing me, but do you have any evidence?"
Lara was speechless for a while. She hesitated for a while and couldn't say anything.
Clarissa said in a deep voice, "Actually, it is not difficult to prove this matter. I have been staying on the island during this period of time. The staff in the hotel and other people on the island can testify for me."
Hearing her words, everyone naturally didn't suspect her anymore.
They looked at Lara with more contemptuous eyes.
She failed to kidnap Clarissa, but she falsely accused that it was Clarissa who kidnapped her!
She was too shameless.
Lara didn't expect things to come to this point. She looked at everyone anxiously and found that no one was willing to believe her, which panicked her even more.
She was in a loss and looked at Chloe.
"Grandma, what should we do now?"
In fact, Chloe also didn't know what to do.
However, as the hostess of the Chapman family, she had experienced so many things, so she had not lost her style.
She said solemnly, "Even if you did not leave, it does not mean that you did not instruct others to kidnap Lara, but you can rest assured that we will investigate this matter clearly. Since you have admitted that you were pretending to be missing, it means that Lara has been wronged these days and she shouldn't be scolded by people. We just want to improve her innocence. As for other things, I will investigate after I go back."
After Chloe finished speaking, she wanted to leave with them.
Unexpectedly, Clarissa stopped her.
"Wait!"
She stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "You haven't explained about this recording! Do you think you can leave now?"
Chloe's face turned livid.
"I said it that it's fake! We didn't do such things!"
"Well... It seems that you won't admit it?"
"Why should I admit what I have never done?"
"That's good."
Clarissa nodded thoughtfully, "Since you are still unwilling to admit it, let's see each other in court! At that time, don't blame for not showing respect to you and giving the Chapman family no turning back."
Chloe was furious when she heard Clarissa's threatening tone.
"Clarissa, don't forget that you are also a member of the Chapman family!"
"Sorry, I really don't think that I am a member of your family. After all, in the past five years, I have seen how you treated me clearly. My previous memories have been buried together with my mother! So, we're no longer family. Behave yourself!"
After that, she ignored Chloe, turned around and walked inside.
Chloe glared at her fiercely, only wishing to kill her!
Lara still looked aggrieved and panicked. She said in a trembling voice, "Clarissa, do you really want to be so ruthless? No matter what, grandma and dad used to dote on you. Don't you remember their kindness anymore?"
Clarissa sneered.
"I once gave you the opportunity to confess it to me. You didn't cherish it, did you? Now you're blaming me for being ruthless? Back then, when you schemed to kill my mother, why didn't you think about how ruthless you were?"
