Chapter 404 The Truth Unfolds
Clarissa nodded.
She could feel Old Master Levine's good intentions towards her.
No matter how he treated her before, at least after discovering that she was Vivian's children, his attitude towards her took a U-turn.
It was just that...
Clarissa's eyes deepened as she thought of Mark's death.
"Anderson, no matter how complicated the Hampden family is, I want to have a try."
Anderson knew what she was thinking.
Clarissa had made everything clear to him. Therefore, he could tell what she wanted to do at a glance.
Anderson's eyes became deeper, as he drew her closer to him.
"Well, go ahead. Don't worry about anything else. I'm here."
Clarissa smiled.
"Alright."
Old Master Levine's health was deteriorating.
After announcing the will that night, he fell into a coma the next day.
According to the doctor, several of his important organs were failing. If it weren't for the advanced medical treatment they had today, he would have died long ago.
Clarissa went to see him once but he did not wake up. He was lying on the bed, weak and pale as if he was going to die anytime.
When she came out, she met Gimmy.
Gimmy was a little surprised when he saw Clarissa. It was probably he didn't expect that she would come.
Naturally, he was elated about it.
"Clarissa, here you are."
Clarissa nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Uncle Gimmy, are you free now? I need to talk to you."
Gimmy was stunned. He looked at the time and nodded.
"Okay, there is a coffee shop downstairs. Let's talk over there."
Clarissa agreed.
Therefore, they went out of the hospital to the coffee shop downstairs. After they found a seat by the window, they sat down.
Gimmy did not know what Clarissa wanted to talk to him, but he didn't urge her and waited quietly for her to speak instead,
Clarissa hesitated for a while and asked, "I want to know more about my mother... Vivian."
Gimmy was stunned, and when he realized what she called him, he was overjoyed.
Previously, they had been worried that Clarissa would not acknowledge her identity as one of the members of the Levine family, but now it seemed that they were oversensitive.
"Well, what do you want to know? I'll tell you."
Clarissa thought for a moment and asked, "What kind of person is she?"
At the mention of Vivian, a gentle smile appeared on Gimmy's face.
"Actually, you're a lot like her. She's gentle and beautiful. She looks cold on the outside, but deep down, she cares a lot and is a filial person. She treats everyone very well, and she's also very talented. By the way, you don't know her, do you? She used to be a painter. She had drawn many paintings, but later on, she was not in good health, so she never painted again."
Clarissa nodded.
"We still have many of her posthumous works in her room. When you are free one day, come home and I'll take you to see them."
Clarissa was stunned and forced a smile.
"Alright."
Clarissa paused and asked, "I heard that she suffered depression because she was lovesick. Do you know who the man is and why they separated?"
Gimmy was slightly stunned. It seemed that he didn't expect her to ask such a question.
He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "By right, this question should not be answered by me, but since you have already asked, I should tell you then."
As he said that, he told her all about the love story between Vivian and the other man.
It turned out that when Vivian studied abroad, he met the eldest son of the Hampden family, Kaleb.
They were a perfect match. They fell in love at first sight and soon were madly in love with each other.
At that time, Vivian did not know his identity. She only thought that he was the son of a rich family. After all, with Kaleb's background. he could spend all the money he wanted when they went out together.
But Vivian herself was the daughter of the Levine family. She had lived a luxurious life since she was a child. She didn't care about money and power at all, so she never thought about that.
Unexpectedly, not long after, the news that Kaleb had already had a fiancé broke up, and his family even forced him to go back and marry her.
Vivian had suffered a great blow when she heard that. She couldn't believe that Kaleb was cheating on her.
She demanded for an explanation from Kaleb. That was when he admitted that he was engaged to someone and asked her to break up with him.
It turned out that the man that Vivian was deeply in love with had been deceiving her all the time. She had also been third-wheeling someone else's relationship unknowingly.
It was a huge blow for someone who was arrogant like Vivian.
Vivian returned to the country, feeling rejected. For a whole week, she locked herself in her room and did not eat or drink.
She had thought that her feelings for him would subside automatically. She had thought that it would be just another painful experience that she would have to go through when she was young.
After all, it was almost inevitable to experience something like this when you were young.
And time would heal everything.
Unexpectedly, a few months later, when Vivian decided to forget all about him, she encountered an assassination.
After all, Vivian was the daughter of the Levine family. The Levine family was one of the four great families in Ascijan. It was the first time that such a thing had happened to them.
Old Master Levine was furious. After a thorough investigation, he found out that the other party was a foreign force, related to the Sapphire family.
It turned out that the assassins who were sent to assassinate Vivian were sent by Kaleb's fiancé.
In order to ensure Vivian's safety, Kaleb had already chosen to leave her, but his fiancé was still worried. She was very afraid of Vivian's existence, so she chose to kill her.
It was a pity that before she took action, she did not investigate the background of Vivian clearly. She only thought that Vivian was an ordinary girl.
This not only angered Old Master Levine but also Kaleb.
Kaleb immediately decided to break off the engagement, despite his family's opposition. He resolutely came to Ascijan to beg for Vivian's forgiveness.
Vivian was originally very angry, so she naturally refused to forgive him easily.
After all, she was the biggest victim in this incident. Not only that she was deceived by him, she was also betrayed.
Kaleb was not in a rush and stayed by her side. He would follow her to wherever she went.
Vivian was tired of being entangled. At the same time, she also felt a little happy deep down.
After all, it was the first time she had fallen in love with someone. She would not have wanted to give him up unless she was forced to do so.
But at this moment, she heard a piece of news.
Kaleb's fiancé had come to her in person and told her a shocking story.
In this world, no one would have thought that such a horrible thing would happen.
Everyone thought the Hampden family's status today was all because they relied on the heritage and wealth left behind by their ancestors.
However, after that day, Vivian learned that wealth alone was not enough for the Sapphire family to prosper.
Everyone in the Sapphire family would be assigned a future partner as soon as they were born.
