Chapter 405 Inhumane
This partner could be the offspring of a government official, or the relative of the leader of a large consortium in the world.
All in all, they were either rich or noble people.
In order to ensure that nothing would go wrong between their marriage, they would inject poison into each other's body when they had just been born once they were assigned with partners.
This type of poison left from the previous dynasty was kept by the Hamden family
The poison could be broken down into two elements, they lived or died at the same time. One was planted on the woman's body, and the other on the man's body.
The effects of the poison could only be reversed when they had intercourse with each other after their marriage.
On the contrary, if the two of them did not end up together, the poison would spread in their bodies until they died in great pain.
The Hampden family was the descendant of the royal family. Perhaps it was for the sake of the family's prosperity, or perhaps it was for some other reason that the Hampden family had come up with such an inhumane rule and plan. It used the marriage of all of their children as pawns, only for the sake of the family's prosperity.
After hearing the whole story, Clarissa felt a chill down her spine.
She could feel her hairs stand on end.
If Clarissa hadn't heard it with her own ears, she couldn't believe that there was such a ridiculous thing in the world!
What kind of person would come up with such an inhumane idea?
Gimmy sneered. "At the beginning, this was exactly why dad did not allow Vivian to be with him. Unfortunately, they two were so madly in love that they did not care about these. When Vivian found out that he did not mean to deceive herself, not only did she not separate from him, but she even intended to elope with him.
Fortunately, dad had asked someone to chase them back. Unfortunately, your mother has been depressed since then. They were so crazy in love that nothing could stop them, including death. No one can do anything to them. "
Clarissa's heart was shaken.
She had never expected that the truth would turn out this way.
She asked softly, "What happened after that?"
"After that?" Gimmy frowned and said nonchalantly, "Nothing much. Later, they didn't see each other again. One day, a day a month later, our informer told us that Kaleb died in a war he voluntarily joined.
Since he couldn't be with Vivian and didn't want to accept the family's arrangement to marry that woman, he was determined to die. Therefore, he went to the battlefield alone. Not long after, there was news that he died there.
When your mother heard the news, she immediately became ill. I once found sleeping pills in her room and found out that she wanted to commit suicide. Later, the doctor found out that she was pregnant. She found the will to live because of you."
Speaking of this, he looked at Clarissa emotionally as he said in a low voice, "Clarissa, Vivian's biggest regret when she was alive was that she lost you. Unfortunately, she failed to find you in her lifetime. Now you already know her identity. If you are free, you can go visit her grave. She would be glad."
Clarissa clenched her fingers tightly. After a moment, she forced a smile.
"Okay, I'll go."
It seemed like their conversation had come to an end.
Clarissa got up and bade her farewell. Gimmy sent her out of the cafe before they parted.
It was Nora who sent her here today. The car was parked in the parking lot not far away.
Clarissa walked to the parking lot while thinking about what had happened today.
Halfway through, she heard a familiar voice.
Clarissa was slightly stunned. As she looked up, at the corner not far away, she saw a middle-aged man wearing a fisherman's hat pestering a familiar figure.
Nora said subconsciously, "Miss Evelyn?"
Nora's voice was very soft, so the people over there didn't hear her. Seeing that Evelyn was about to leave after getting into the car, Clarissa opened her mouth and wanted to say hello to her.
However, Evelyn moved too fast. As soon as she got into the car, she started the engine and the car drove off like the clappers.
The middle-aged man was left behind by her. He climbed up from the ground and cursed in rage.
"You've gone back on your words. I will make life very difficult for you!"
After the scolding, he turned around and realized that there were two figures standing not far away.
In the dim light, he couldn't see who stood there. He thought they were just passers-by.
So he angrily spat on the ground again, "Alas! What the hell!"
Clarissa frowned.
Nora only spoke again after watching the middle-aged man leave while cursing.
"Why is Miss Evelyn here? What's the relationship between that person and her?"
Clarissa shook her head.
She didn't know much about what had happened to Evelyn.
But from the looks of it, that man must have a close relationship with Evelyn.
Although it was her private affair, Clarissa did not want something bad to happen to Evelyn as Evelyn was Starlight's most promising artiste.
Therefore, she called Marissa right away to ask her to pay more attention to Evelyn to see if there was anything wrong with her these days.
Marissa agreed. After hanging up the phone, Clarissa got in the car. Nora drove towards the Starbay Villa.
The next day, Clarissa took a rest.
When she woke up early in the morning, she realized that Anderson had already gone out. He must have already gone to the company.
Anderson had been very busy recently. He wanted to spend some time with her, so he had tried to finish off his work for the next few days within two days' time.
Clarissa couldn't bear to see him like this. She knew how heavy the burden on his shoulder was despite him being strong.
Actually, she didn't even need his company to investigate the Sapphire family.
But Anderson was worried about her and insisted on being with her. There was nothing she could do about it.
In order to make Anderson feel at ease, she could only do as he pleased.
As a result, Anderson got very busy whereas she became the most idle person in the family.
She went around the house and had nothing to do. Clarissa decided to cook and make lunch for Anderson, as the reward for his hard work in the past two days.
There were ready-made ingredients in the house but Clarissa wasn't sure if she could make a good lunch. She was worried that things would go wrong, so she asked Pattie to help instruct her.
Pattie was more than willing to help Clarissa up. As she had watched Anderson grow up, she would love to see the two of them being lovey-dovey.
Therefore, under the guidance of Pattie, after nearly two hours, Clarissa finally was done cooking the lunch.
Well, although it did not look presentable, Clarissa tasted a little, and the taste was actually quite good.
Looking at the time, it was already 12 o'clock, so it should be lunch hour at the office now. But Clarissa didn't think Anderson would have his lunch break on time. Therefore, it was still not too late for her to rush there.
With that, Clarissa took the lunch with her and left home driving her car.
