Chapter 340 Unbelievable To Watch
Clarissa brought over the soup to Anderson, which Pattie specially made for them as Clarissa had been feeling unwell and cold recently. Besides, Anderson had been too busy with his work, so Pattie had specially cooked some herbal soup for them.
Since Clarissa had already drunk it, she sat there to accompany Anderson. As she watched him drink the soup, she said, "Since Old Master Levine is in this state, the Levine family should be in a mess!"
Speaking of this, Anderson sneered.
"It's more than a mess. It's so chaotic that it's unbelievable to watch."
Clarissa laughed.
"There are many children in the Levine family. Uncle Gimmy and Uncle Gilee are not born to the same mother. Besides, it's a huge family with a lot of distant relatives. Naturally, the competition between the two brothers is inevitable. Fortunately, Old Master Levine can be saved this time. I think that for the sake of the family, he will arrange things in advance to avoid trouble in the future."
Anderson nodded. "I hope so."
Anderson paused for a second as if he had thought of something before he turned his gaze at Clarissa.
Clarissa raised her eyebrows.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing."
Anderson seemed to find it a little funny. He chuckled and said, "The Holland family also sent someone to visit the Levine family today. Guess who they had sent?"
"Who is it?"
"Jaden."
Clarissa was stunned.
"I don't think Jaden dislikes Lara. They seem to get along well with each other. If everything goes smoothly, they are probably going to get married."
Clarissa was speechless for a while. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
"Jaden... Does he know about Lara's past?"
Anderson nodded. "Yes, to him, everyone has a past. That's why he doesn't care. He's only looking forward to the future with Lara. He seems to have found his one true love."
Clarissa didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard the word "true love". Again, she was at a loss of words.
"As the youngest son of the Holland family, it's okay for him to marry a divorced woman. But the issue is she has a tarnished reputation, is the Holland family fine with that?"
Anderson laughed coldly.
"He is not the only son of the Holland family. Besides, with Old Master Levine's 15% shares of the Levine Group as the dowry, no man in the whole of the Flaucford will not be moved, let alone the Holland family."
Clarissa glanced at him.
"Oh? So you're also interested?"
Anderson paused for a moment.
He looked up at her seriously.
A smile then appeared on Anderson's face as he took her hand. "I am only interested in you."
Clarissa was speechless.
She knew that Anderson would tease her about it!
Clarissa rolled her eyes at him and retracted her hand. "Well, let's get down to business. According to what you said, the marriage between the Levine family and the Holland family is set in stone? I can't believe that Old Master Levine is willing to offer 15% of the shares as a dowry. Don't you think the other members of the Levine family would object to it?"
Anderson thought for a moment before he shook his head. "They are the one who've found Lara. The 15% shares actually belonged to Vivian before her death. Since Vivian is gone, the shares should be left to her child. Unfortunately, Old Master Levine didn't know that the granddaughter they've found is a fake."
"Now that he is still alive, he can still decide on who would own the shares by himself. Otherwise, it would be uncertain who would own the shares eventually after his death. At that time, I'm afraid that everyone in the Levine family would be fighting for it. In short, the Levine family is in a mess right now. The arranged marriage between the two families might not benefit the Holland family."
Clarissa also nodded in agreement.
They chatted for a while and didn't go back to the room until it was late at night.
And on the other side, the Levine family.
Old Master Levine had just escaped from a life-and-death situation and everyone in the family was relieved.
After the careful examination by the doctor, it was confirmed that his life was not in danger for the time being to everyone's relief.
After a long night, everyone was tired. After checking on Old Master Levine, they all went back to bed.
Naturally, the doctor needed to stay and continue to look after Old Master Levine. As instructed by Old Master Levine, Lara was also asked to stay with him.
"Lara, come here, Come sit by my side."
Old Master Levine lied on the bed, waved to Lara, as Lara hurried over.
"Grandpa, how are you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Old Master Levine waved his hand dismissively.
"I'm fine. I'm old so no matter how much medical treatment I received, it's just to prolong my time. I know all about it."
Upon hearing this, Lara's eyes suddenly turned reddened.
"Grandpa, don't say that. You are a kind person and will live a long life."
Old Master Levine was amused by her words.
"Silly child."
Although the doctor had told him that he was out of danger, Old Master Levine was still very weak, and even his voice sounded frail and feeble.
He reached out to pat Lara's head and whispered, "It doesn't matter if I don't live long enough. The most important thing is you. Lara, do you have any plans for your future?"
Lara was baffled when she heard that.
"I... I just need to keep you company."
Old Master Levine smiled and said, "What's the big deal of keeping me company? Besides, I don't know how much longer I can last. Even if I'm not here with you in the future, you must have your own life."
Hearing this, Lara's tears were about to fall again.
Old Master Levine stopped talking abruptly and sighed in his heart.
Lara was too kind-hearted. He didn't know how much hardship she had suffered in the past to become as sensitive as she was today.
He sighed and changed the topic.
"Lara, how do you feel about Jaden who came here tonight?"
Lara was stunned.
Lara stared at him with a pair of bright and clear eyes, as if she didn't quite understand what he meant.
Old Master Levine narrowed his eyes and smiled lovingly, "The Holland family one of the richest families in the Flaucford city. Just like us, it has a history of more than a hundred years. When Old Master Holland was still alive, he was a good friend of mine. What's more, Jaden is a person of good character, bright and honest, not like the others who have so many tricks up their sleeves. If you were to be with him, you would definitely be well taken care of. That way, I would be more at ease. What do you think?"
Lara's face instantly turned red. She lowered her head and was so shy that she wanted the ground to open up and swallow her
"I... I don't know."
Old Master Levine burst out laughing.
"Don't be shy. It's normal for men and women to get married when they've grown up!"
Lara forced a smile.
"Grandpa, I don't want to get married for the time being."
Old Master Levine was stunned and frowned.
"What's wrong? You don't like him? Or do you like someone else?"
Lara quickly waved her hand dismissively. "No... I.. I..."
Lara bit her lips and looked as if she was too shy to speak out. Her eyes were red and she looked pitiful and wronged, which made people want to protect her at first sight.
Old Master Levine couldn't bear it any longer as soon as he saw the expression on her face. He kept asking, "Do you have any other concerns?"
