Chapter 392 Never Seeing Him Again
In an instant, countless cameras were focusing on Elliot, snapping photos of him furiously.
Elliot was stunned. When everyone finished shooting and dispersed and found that it was really him, they immediately burst into an uproar.
"Mr. Duncan, I heard that you and your ex-girlfriend Miss Clarissa are meeting here today. Is it true?"
"You two have broken up for a long time. Did you just rekindle the old flame?"
"Do you know that she is married to Mr. Jordan now? Do you think things could work out between the two of you?"
"How many private meetings did you have?"
"..."
Countless questions came straight at him. Everyone was excited about the gossip. For a moment, they forgot that Elliot's body was still tied up by ropes and his mouth was stuffed with cloth. He couldn't speak at all.
Until the end, a reporter finally found out that there was something wrong with him.
He quickly stepped forward and took out the cloth from his mouth.
However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard Elliot say angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? I was kidnapped! I did not see Clarissa at all!"
All the reporters were speechless.
The hotel staff were speechless too.
Elliot was not stupid after all. He could not afford to get on Clarissa's bad side.
Moreover, what happened between the two of them was already the past. If he admitted that he had an affair with Clarissa, it would be no good for him.
It was also because of this that Clarissa didn't worry about leaving him alone there.
At this time, on the other side.
Clarissa and Jara jumped into another room's balcony. When there was no one outside the corridor, they finally managed to escape from the hotel.
Stepping into the mastermind's shoes, Clarissa thought it was impossible for her to only be surrounded by reporters outside the room. There should also be reporters at the lobby too, so the two of them had escaped through the back door.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked out of the back door, they saw a black Maybach coming to a rapid stop in front of them.
Jara raised his eyebrows.
"Seven, what would he do if I told your husband that the man who has an affair with you is not Elliot, but me?"
Clarissa glared at him impatiently and shouted in a low voice, "Stop messing around!"
After that, she let go of his hand and walked to the car.
Half of the car's window was rolled down, revealing Anderson's cold face.
He didn't look at them, but his tense expression and the atmosphere had already explained everything.
Clarissa pursed her lips and said, "Anderson, I can explain."
Anderson didn't say anything.
Soon, Clarissa opened the car door and got into the car. The car disappeared from Jara's sight.
Jara looked at the direction in which the car left. Finally, he raised the corner of his mouth and put on a self-deprecating smile.
At the same time, in the car.
The atmosphere was so tense that Clarissa could hardly breathe.
Anderson hadn't spoken a single word.
Even David, who had been sitting in front driving the car silently, felt a chill down his spine and couldn't help shivering.
Clarissa pursed her lips. After a while, she finally opened her mouth.
"I was being set up. Someone lied to me using Lauren's voice recording. I thought something had happened to her, so I came here. Later, I was knocked unconscious. When I woke up, I saw Jara, and Elliot, who was tied up.
I suspect that someone is trying to ruin my reputation using Elliot. However, I don't know what other motives he or she has, but fortunately, I woke up quickly and escaped in time. I don't think they will succeed."
She thought she had explained it quite clearly.
Unexpectedly, Anderson still asked, "So, do you mean that all this is just a misunderstanding?"
Clarissa was stunned.
She raised her head and looked into his eyes.
Anderson's eyes were cold and deep. They were so cold that it could send a chill down someone's spine.
Her heart skipped a beat as realization hit her.
"What did you hear?"
Anderson's lips curled up in a cold smile.
He picked up the phone and fiddled with it with his slender fingers before a dubious and explicit recording was automatically played out.
"Jara, be gentle... Umm..."
Clarissa's expression instantly changed.
The recording was very short, but it was very clear enough for an adult to know what it meant.
Anderson sneered.
"So until now, you still have to tell me, is this really a misunderstanding?"
Clarissa shuddered as her face was faintly pale.
Clarissa looked at him in disbelief. "You don't believe me?"
Anderson didn't say anything.
Clarissa felt that it was a little ironic and funny. "Anderson, you couldn't even tell that this recording is actually synthetic?"
This time, Anderson's expression relaxed a little.
Anderson looked at her with a heavy gaze and asked in a cold voice, "So it was pure coincidence that he showed up here today?"
This time, it was Clarissa's turn to be at a loss of words.
Anderson once again revealed a mocking and cold smile.
"You said that someone deliberately framed you and Elliot, and I believe you. But what about this recording? A person who deliberately framed you and Elliot would create a fake recording with you screaming Jara's name? Do you think it makes sense?"
Clarissa was stunned for a moment, and then she quickly came to her senses.
"When did you call me?"
Anderson didn't say anything.
Clarissa didn't want to argue with him, so she simply took out her mobile phone to have a look. Looking at the call log, she found that it was 15 minutes ago.
It would take at least 15 minutes to reach here from the airport. That was to say, Anderson called her as soon as he got off the plane and heard this recording.
As for Clarissa, she was knocked out at the door of the room more than two hours ago.
Thinking of this, Clarissa had figured out what had happened.
She couldn't help but rub his forehead.
"Sorry, I really didn't think it through and made you worry. I can be sure that the recording was sent by Jara. He made it clear that he won't make things difficult for us, so don't be fooled by him."
The corners of Anderson's mouth twitched coldly.
"Oh? So he likes you?"
Clarissa was stunned.
"I have a vague feeling that the relationship between you and him is not that simple, but after thinking about it for a while, I couldn't think of any interactions the two of you have before. Now it seems that my suspicion is not without any ground, isn't it?"
Clarissa didn't say anything. For a moment, she was at a loss of words.
Anderson asked again, "Why didn't you bring Nora out today?"
"I..." Clarissa hesitated and forced a smile. "Sorry, I forgot."
Anderson seemed to have understood something.
"Did you forget it or did you deliberately not take her with you? Clarissa, you've learned how to lie to me now."
Clarissa was speechless.
Anderson looked at her. His gaze was so deep, so serious, but there was a trace of disappointment and a distant look in them.
"Do you know? I always thought, at this point of our relationship, we are able to be frank to each other. But obviously, you don't think the same.
Clarissa, you can continue to hide it from me, but as your husband, I need my wife to be absolutely loyal to me! So, I won't allow you to see him again in the future, okay?"
Clarissa was stunned, and her throat was a little bit difficult.
"Anderson..."
"I don't want to hear a "No" from you."
For the first time, he showed a strong and unyielding side of him in front of Clarissa.
