Chapter 441 A Disposable Pawn
With a straight face on, Mick said without emotion, "It is just a decision made by the management. They have their own way of dealing things."
"Really? But why did he hand over such a serious matter like assassinating Anderson to Dylan without even telling you? You should be way more qualified than her!"
Mick's facial expression changed slightly.
"You're just being used as a disposable pawn! You're indeed the person in charge of the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon now. But if the secrets come to light one day, judging from Blade Scar's character and taking account of the grudge between Dylan and you, what do you think will happen to you then?"
"That's enough!"
Mick slammed the table suddenly, stood up, and stared at her coldly from above.
"You're trying to sow discord between us! Do you think I'll believe you and betray Blade Scar just because of this little trick? You're too naïve!"
Clarissa didn't say anything but just looked at him quietly.
However, she knew in her heart that Mick was wavering!
If he calmly accepted her analysis and agreed to make a deal with her right away, that would raise her suspicion. But seeing how big Mick's reaction was, Clarissa was convinced that Mick was just trying to hide the fear deep-rooted in his heart.
Clarissa hit right on his sore spot!
Clarissa smiled lightly. "You're exaggerating. Of course I'm not trying to get you to betray Blade Scar. But even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your family. You have to protect yourself!"
After that, she took out a recording pen from her bag and placed it on the table.
"Don't be in such a hurry to turn me down. You might as well listen to this before making a decision."
Mick's eyes were slightly cold. After a while, he sat down, picked up the recording pen, and turned it on.
A familiar female voice immediately sounded from the recording pen.
It was Dylan's voice.
In fact, everything about Mick was told to her by Dylan, who suddenly asked someone to inform her about it last night.
Clarissa didn't know why Dylan told her this, but it seemed like she had her own reasons.
At this point, Dylan had no reason to lie to her, so Clarissa made a bold move to believe her.
And this recording pen was also handed to Clarissa last night as requested by Dylan.
The content was really exciting. Even Clarissa and Anderson were deeply shocked when they heard it at that time.
Sure enough, after listening to the contents, Mick was beyond shocked.
"What do you think of this recording?"
Mick froze for a moment. Then, he looked at Clarissa with a complicated expression on his face and did not say a word.
Clarissa smiled, her pitch-black eyes gleaming with a bewitching light.
She put the recording pen on the table and said softly, "Give it to Blade Scar. Believe me, as long as Blade Scar hears this recording, you will be able to rise to the top, you wouldn't have to act upon others' instructions anymore!"
Mick moved his lips and his face turned pale.
After a while, Mick pulled a long face and looked at Clarissa with the calmest look that he could show at this moment.
"What do you want in return?"
Seeing how quick he had made his decision, a hint of appreciation flashed across Clarissa's eyes.
She said in a deep voice, "I want you to introduce Blade Scar to me. Just say that I want to see him."
Mick frowned. "Who the hell are you? What do you want, spending so much effort?"
"That's none of your business!"
Clarissa took a pen from the table, wrote down her phone number and handed it to Mick.
"If you've got any news, call me at any time."
After that, she got up and left.
——
When they walked out of the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Clarissa glanced at her wristwatch, which showed 4:30 p.m.
She let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly.
David drove over. The two of them got into the car and the three of them returned to the hospital together.
When they arrived at the hospital, they saw the butler of the Ethanbez family standing at the door of the ward.
Clarissa was a little bit surprised. She raised her eyebrows and walked towards him.
"Mrs. Jordan, you're back!"
Clarissa nodded and asked in confusion, "Ryder, why are you here?"
Ryder smiled and said, "I'm here to visit you on behalf of Old Madam Ethanbez. But you came here before I went into the room."
Clarissa slightly frowned. She took a look at the closed door and then at Ryder. She didn't call him out.
Clarissa chuckled and said, "In that case, come in."
As she spoke, he pushed open the door.
However, Ryder waved his hand repeatedly.
"No, I can't. Actually, I came here to pass a message on behalf of Old Madam Ethanbez."
"What is the message?"
"Today is our Young Master Jack's birthday. Old Madam Ethanbez is inviting everyone to come over."
Jack Ethanbez was Bowen's youngest son. He was only eight years old this year. Being a geriatric father, Bowen had always pampered Jack, so did the rest of the Ethanbez family.
Today was his birthday?
Clarissa thought for a moment and nodded.
"Okay, I got it! I'll go back to my room and change my clothes."
Ryder nodded repeatedly and said, "We'll be glad if Mr. Jordan could come as well."
Clarissa nodded and didn't say anything else. She only entered the room after David had sent Ryder away.
In the ward, Anderson saw her return and waved at her.
Clarissa went over and told Anderson what had happened today. After he quietly listened to her, he suddenly held her hand and asked, "Did you see Ryder outside just now?"
Clarissa was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered.
Clarissa nodded. "Yeah. By the way, he has been standing outside for a long time. Why don't you let him in?"
Anderson said indifferently, "He did not knock on the door. He's probably feeling guilty. Why should I expose his guilt then?"
Clarissa was speechless.
She smiled and said, "Are you still angry?"
"No, I'm not."
Although Lia had overstepped his boundaries, Issac was already dead. There was no point in anything else.
Clarissa smiled and said, "If that's so, shall we go together tonight?"
Anderson glanced at her.
After a long while, he didn't refuse her. Anderson just lightly touched the tip of her nose.
"I'm afraid that you are the most forgiving person in the world."
Clarissa smiled and did not continue on this topic.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, they went there together after changing clothes.
Although Anderson's wounds had not been completely healed, they were much better. After the doctor's examination, it was confirmed that as long as he did not engage himself in any vigorous exercise, it would not be a problem for him to ride in a car.
Therefore, the two of them took a ride to the Ethanbez family.
Passing by a toy shop on the way, Clarissa thought for a moment, and then got out of the car to buy Jack a birthday gift.
After all, they still had to do this as a matter of courtesy.
Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the villa of the Ethanbez family.
When Clarissa entered the house, she found that everyone had arrived. Elicia was sitting on the sofa with Jack in her arms, surrounded by the crowd and laughing.
As soon as she and Anderson entered the door, everyone stopped and turned to look at them.
"Clarissa and Anderson, you are here!"
Elicia was the first to speak. She patted the seat beside her and said with a smile, "Come and sit here. Everyone in the family is here. We are all waiting for you."
Clarissa smiled slightly, walked over, and handed the gift to Jack.
"Happy birthday!"
