Chapter 356 She Wants A Revenge
"So, today, I just want Lara to learn her lessons. If she makes a mistake, she has to admit it. If she doesn't want to lower herself, she'd better not make such a mistake. Am I right?"
Gimmy was speechless for a moment.
After deliberating over her words, Gimmy felt that they sounded quite reasonable.
As a result, he did not say anything further.
Clarissa smiled as she looked at Lara.
"So, now, please start to apologize!"
Lara's face turned from pale then livid. Looking at Clarissa's smug smile, she couldn't wait to charge forward and tear her apart.
She bit her lower lip and turned to look at Old Master Levine in humiliation.
But she saw that Old Master Levine's face was livid and tense. He didn't even want to look at her.
Lara's heart was pounding.
She looked at Gillee again. He nodded slightly to her. That was when Lara knew there was no turning back.
Although Lara was extremely reluctant, she could only step forward and say to Maggie, "I'm sorry."
Maggie had been in the Levine family for two years. She had been nothing but respectful to the Levine family all this while. When had they ever apologized to her before?
Maggie panicked and quickly waved her hand dismissively.
"It's... It's okay."
Lara clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth. Then she walked to another guest and repeated, "I'm sorry."
The guest took a step back and said it didn't matter.
Lara walked to the next guest.
After more than half an hour, she had finally done with apologizing to all the guests.
Lara swore that she had never said so much sorry in her life, although most of the people did not make things difficult for her or show any disrespectful expression in the face of the Levine family.
However, there were still a few people in the middle who couldn't help but laugh.
They were probably treating her apology as a joke.
Lara seemed to be embarrassed, her face almost turning green.
Old Master Levine, on the other hand, couldn't bear to see it any longer. He had someone push him in the wheelchair to the lounge.
Half an hour later, it finally ended.
The birthday banquet was also coming to an end in a comical manner.
The guests naturally began to disperse after watching what had happened for the entire night.
Clarissa was very satisfied with the outcome. Before leaving, she even specially went to greet Old Master Levine.
Old Master Levine's face was twisted with anger. He didn't even bother to look at her.
However, Clarissa didn't care. After greeting him with a smile, she left with Anne.
On the other side, Claus saw everything that had happened tonight. Although he did not say anything, he was already dissatisfied with Lara in his heart.
He wanted to tear into the Jordan Family. Therefore, even if he knew about Lara's past and her conflict with Clarissa, as long as she was willing to marry the Jordan family holding the 15% of the Levine family's shares, he could turn a blind eye on her past.
However, that did not mean that he was willing to let his son marry a fool who would only cause trouble!
In Claus's opinion, it didn't matter whether Lara had hurt Anne or not.
The important thing was that Lara was unable to resolve the issues that she had caused.
How could a woman, who was unable to clear up the mess she made, be worthy of her son? What right did she have to become part of the Holland family?
Was it possible that Lara would ask the Holland family to clear up the mess she had made in the future?
Therefore, before leaving, when Claus greeted old Old Master Levine, when Old Master Levine once again mentioned the marriage between Lara and Jaden, Claus did not agree.
He smiled and said, "They are still young. Besides, Jaden is an outgoing person and is still uncertain of what to do in the future. I'm afraid Miss Lara would suffer because of that, so we shouldn't rush into things for the time being. We should let them spend more time together to get to know each other better before arranging their marriage."
He didn't refuse immediately, out of respect to Old Master Levine.
But how could Old Master Levine not understand what he meant?
They made a deal previously. Because of the incident tonight, Claus began to make excuses that the two of them were still familiar with each other to delay things.
It was obviously because Claus was afraid that Lara would cause trouble for the Holland family in the future, seeing what had happened tonight.
Old Master Levine was still simmering with anger. But he knew very well that he couldn't blame anyone else but himself.
You reaped what you sowed. Old Master Levine could not do anything even if the Holland family had broken their promise because of Lara's behavior tonight.
After sending off the Holland family, the rest of the guests had mostly left.
It was only then that Lara walked into the lounge.
At this moment, there were only her and Old Master Levine in the lounge.
The rest of the people were busy cleaning up the mess left after the birthday banquet, while servants and caretaker were guarding outside the door. No one was allowed to come in without Old Master Levine's permission.
Lara said guiltily, "Grandpa."
"Hmm." Old Master Levine sat with his back facing her and said with a poker face.
"Do you know what was your mistake tonight?"
Lara bit her lower lip. Because of the embarrassment, her face was still red and her eyes were full of tears. She seemed to be really pitiful.
"I know."
"Tell me, why did you do that to Anne?"
Lara was silent for a moment and did not say anything.
Placing her hands in front of her, Lara twisted the hem of her dress hard. With her head slightly lowered, under the light, she appeared to be feeble and vulnerable.
Old Master Levine frowned and pushed the wheelchair to turn around.
"You still won't tell the truth to me?"
Lara knew that she couldn't hide the truth for him. After all, the excuse that she had made up at the last minute wasn't plausible.
What's more, most of the guests didn't believe her words.
However, they did not say anything about it in the face of the Levine family.
After a while facing his penetrating gaze, she whispered, "Because I want to take revenge."
Old Master Levine frowned.
"On whom?"
Lara suddenly burst into tears.
She cried sadly, with her tears streaming down her cheek. She sobbed, "I'm sorry, grandpa. I didn't want to do that. I wasn't thinking straight at that moment. I knew that the child was innocent, but I still wanted to kill her."
Old Master Levine was getting a little impatient.
"I'm asking you, what kind of revenge do you want to take?"
Lara sniffed and said, "When I was with my ex-husband, I was once pregnant. But because of Clarissa, I had a miscarriage. I have always held a grudge against her.
After I came to the Flaucford, seeing how happy she is with Anne while I'm all alone, it reminded me of the baby I used to carry. I hated her so much that wanted her to have a taste of this, so I couldn't help but do that to Anne."
