Chapter 28 In a Dilemma
She was in a dilemma as well.
On the one hand, she didn't dare offend Anderson. On the other hand, Matthias betrayed her.
No matter how she explained, she was in the wrong.
She would never dare offend Anderson, so she had no choice but to sacrifice Matthias.
As long as she insisted that Clarissa was in a relationship with Matthias, everything she had done would be reasonable.
Besides, Anderson would think that Clarissa cheated on him.
How could a powerful man like Anderson allow his woman to be disloyal to him?
At that time, Clarissa would not only have something to do with Matthias, but she would also be wronged by Anderson. Chloe decided to give her a lesson at that time!
Thinking of this, the expression in Chloe's eyes became colder.
However, the next second, Matthias explained in a hurry, "Mr. Jordan, she's talking nonsense! I've never seen Miss Chapman before, so how could I have anything to do with her? If you don't believe me, you can investigate me!"
"Matthias, you're a coward who dares not admit what you've done! Do you remember that you knelt down and begged me to agree to let Clarissa be with you? How can you say such words now? Are you still a man?"
Matthias was so angry that he pointed at Chloe, and even his fingertips were trembling with fury.
"You d*mn old woman. Are you afraid that you will be exposed so you slander me? It's doesn't matter if you slander me, but you even want to slander Miss Chapman! Do you think Mr. Jordan is a fool? Is he so easy to be fooled by you?"
Chloe sneered.
"You want to quibble? Fine! You said that I asked you to do that, but do you have any evidence? I haven't blamed you for drugging Clarissa yet! How can you frame me?"
Matthias's face changed.
He drugged the glass of wine indeed.
But it was just because he listened to Chloe's words and did as their plan.
Chloe actually wanted to disassociate herself from him and wanted him to take all the blame!
Matthias was so mad, but he couldn't say a word. He could only glare at Chloe.
They had been talking face to face when they discussed this matter, so Chloe knew that he had no evidence. Seeing this, she snorted smugly.
Clarissa looked at this scene and suddenly thought of a word.
Dogs-bit-dog.
That was how Chloe and Matthias like.
They used to be a package deal, but they immediately had a dispute because they were scared by Anderson.
What a pity.
She smiled playfully and then heard Anderson's lazy and cold voice.
"I just want to know the truth, but you're arguing here... Do you really think that I have plenty of time?"
Anderson knocked on the table and his face became a little impatient.
Both Chloe and Matthias were so scared that their faces turned pale.
Chloe smiled and explained in a hurry, "Mr. Jordan, I... really didn't know the relationship between you and Clarissa. You're her husband, but she actually didn't tell us! If she could tell us earlier, such a thing wouldn't have happened! It's indeed our fault. Please don't be angry for the sake of the marriage between our families."
Anderson looked up at her with a faint smile.
"Marriage between our families?"
Chloe smiled awkwardly, but she braced herself.
Actually, thinking about it carefully, since Anderson and Clarissa were husband and wife, she was naturally Anderson's grandmother because she was Clarissa's grandmother.
So she said that there was a marriage between their familes.
This was the reason why Chloe still dared sit and talk confidently.
She thought that she was an elder. Even if Anderson was angry or dissatisfied with her, he would not go too far because he wanted to get along well with her in the future.
But if he really believed her words and suspected Clarissa, it would be better.
Anyway, Chloe never expected Clarissa to gain anything from the Jordan Family. Even if the Chapman family profited from the Jordan family, she wouldn't appreciate Clarissa because they had a bad relationship.
Therefore, it was better to make Anderson suspect Clarissa!
Chloe thought like this in her heart, but she suddenly heard Anderson's voice.
"Since you're all unwilling to tell the truth, I have to treat you equally and punish you together!"
Chloe was slightly stunned. When she looked up at Anderson, she saw him whispering something to David.
David immediately went out. Not long later, he came in with a large stack of documents.
"Mr. Jordan, these is all the property of the Chapman family and Mr. Neal."
Anderson took them and had a look casually.
All the people present were a little confused, not knowing what he wanted to do.
He suddenly pulled one paper out of the documents, lit it with a lighter and slowly put it in the ashtray in front of him.
That was real estate in Matthias's name, and it was given by his father.
Matthias became so anxious when he saw this. He asked in a hurry, "Mr. Jordan, what... are you doing?"
Anderson said slowly, "Since you don't want to tell me the truth, I have to think of a way to let you say it! The property is yours. I'll burn one of them every three minutes, and I'll give it back to whoever tells me the truth first. What do you think?"
Matthias thought, "How could he even ask me about my opinion?"
"Bah! He's too shameless!"
They were so angry but they didn't dare say anything. It was only then that Chloe realized that she was wrong. Anderson didn't show her respect at all.
With a cold face, she said in a deep voice, "Mr. Jordan, these real estates have all been registered. Do you think it will work if you burn the paper documents?"
Anderson looked at her with a smile, "Oh, you're right. You remind me. David!"
David immediately stepped forward and said, "Mr. Jordan."
"Do as my words. Every time I burn one paper, you purchase one company in their name. If you can't purchase it, put pressure on it until they declare bankruptcy. As for shares and funds, if it's loss-making, don't care about it. But as long as it's profit-making, ask my assistant to operate it. I believe that it will become loss-making before dawn."
David tried his best not to laugh and nodded, "Okay."
He turned around and walked out.
The people of the Chapman family and Matthias were all in a panic when they saw this.
"Mr. Jordan, you can't do this!"
"These are all the efforts we've put in for decades. You can't ruin them like this!"
At this time, Chloe almost wanted to bite off her tongue.
She hated herself for talking so much.
If she didn't tell Anderson and he only burnt the paper documents, it didn't matter. But she would lose everything immediately!
Anderson looked at them with a cold face and was not moved.
"I'll give you one last chance. Tell me the truth or not?"
Matthias nodded immediately, "I'll say it right now!"
Chloe yelled at him, "Matthias, think about it carefully!"
Matthias had no time to care about her at this time. He shouted at her, "Enough! The Chapman family is so rich that you don't care about your property. I'm different from you. I only have a little property in my name. If it is ruined, my father will be the first to kill me!"
Chloe's face turned livid because of anger.
