Chapter 462 There Are No Ifs Or Buts
"Now, once there is a loss of balance, not only the Lost Vanguard but also the Hampden family will suffer losses. Therefore, I really want to find out who is behind this and find out the murderer. But unfortunately, I haven't found out much."
Anderson frowned when he heard that.
"Even you couldn't find it out?"
Speaking of this, Harrison's expression darkened slightly.
"Yes, there will always be someone better than you in this world. For the past few years, I've always thought although our family does not have a monopoly on this territory, we do have a control over it to a certain extent which could not be underestimated. But I didn't expect..."
He sighed. Since Harrison had said so, no one doubted him.
They looked at each other, and then Anderson said, "Well, you will take charge in this matter. Please update us, if there is any news."
Harrison nodded his head.
He suddenly looked at Clarissa and smiled.
"Now that you're done with your business, can you take the time to talk about our business?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Apart from Clarissa, who had frowned coldly.
She stood up and said coldly, "We have nothing to talk about."
Harrison seemed to have expected her reaction, so he was not surprised as he smiled faintly.
"I know that you are still mad about it. It's not only about your mother but also about how Anderson got injured because of my error in judgment.
But I did none of these on purpose, and most importantly, it is because we didn't understand each other before that has caused a lot of misunderstandings.
Now that we have the opportunity to talk it out, we should try to know each other better. Isn't this better than being against each other?"
Clarissa glanced at him. Although she was still angry, she had to admit that what Harrison said made sense.
No matter how she saw them, it was very necessary for them to get to know each other better.
Clarissa turned to look at Anderson. When she saw him nod his head to her, she sat down again.
When Harrison saw this, a gentle smile appeared on his face before he asked Blade Scar to leave.
Then he ordered someone to make some tea for them. Finally, he looked at Clarissa and said slowly, "You look very much like your father."
Clarissa snorted. She didn't look at him. It was obvious that she was not happy with him.
Harrison didn't mind. He smiled and said, "Speaking of which, you still don't know your father's name. His name is Justin Hampden, and he is my eldest brother. He was also a famous young talent in F Country in the past. He was handsome and talented, and the dream guy of many ladies of rich and affluent families."
Although Clarissa had problems with him, the topic of her biological father naturally piqued her interest.
Therefore, although Clarissa pretended to be nonchalant, she had already pricked up her ears to listen carefully.
Harrison also knew what was on her mind but he didn't mind. He continued to say, "I don't know how much you know about him and your mother's affairs, but I still tell you about it."
Therefore, he briefed her about the marriage of the descendents the Sapphire family over the past hundreds of years.
He sighed and said, "Your father had always loved to be free, he doesn't like to be bothered by material possessions or social norms and to be forced to marry someone by our family."
So at that time, as soon as he met your mother at school, he fell in love with her. He had also worked very hard to break free from the shackles of the family and be with her.
However, this rule had been passed down for hundreds of years. How could it be easily done away with? What's more, once the poison is administered, unless he consummate the arranged marriage with the person who had been poisoned, the poison would then be activated in his system. There was no way he was going to get rid of it easily.
Justin still resisted fearlessly despite knowing the consequences. He really loved your mother."
As Clarissa listened, she was a little touched by the story as she gradually lost her coldness on her expression. Instead, she got curious.
Harrison continued, "He was forced to part ways with your mother, there was nothing else he could do. He knew that he was not the one who could keep your mother company for the rest of her life. If he continued to be together with your mother, it would only bring her a fatal disaster.
"That's why Justin was disheartened and left his hometown, and finally died on the battlefield in Tousse. You should know at that time, in Tousse, the situation was so chaotic that even our family dare not rashly intervene. Nevertheless, Justin had concealed his identity and became a soldier there, knowing well that it was a suicide mission. Since he had completely given up on his hope to live, how could he not die?"
Clarissa silently looked at him, looking at the regret and resentment on his face.
"Unfortunately, he thought that he could protect your mother in this way. But he didn't expect that your mother would suffer from depression because of his death. She passed away a few years after his death. Maybe this is the most tragic thing that could ever happen to a pair of lovers. Fortunately, you have grown up now. If they were alive, they would be happy to see what you have become."
Clarissa frowned and asked, "Before he died, why didn't he think that my mother would be heart-broken over his death?"
Harrison smiled and said, "In this world, it's not possible for us to foresee everything. If that's possible, there will not be so many regrets."
As soon as these words came out, the room fell into silence, and everyone was at a loss of words.
Harrison said, "When Justin went to the battlefield, he was clueless about your existence. Had he known about your existence, he might not lose the will to live and will not go down to that path."
Clarissa sneered. "Since things have already happened, there are no ifs or buts about it."
Harrison paused for a moment, then he let out a bitter laugh.
"You are right, but since you have grown up now, I still need to hand you some things that belong to you. When you are free to come to my house, I will tell you in detail."
Clarissa's attitude was a little cold. She didn't look at him, but said coldly, "There's no need. We can talk about that later."
Although she was curious about her own father, she still had not fully accepted the fact that the Hampden family was her close kin.
Therefore, she was still wary and repulsed by Harrison's proposal.
Seeing this, Harrison didn't insist but said, "It doesn't matter. You can take your time to think about it. You can rest assured that I'll keep everything that belongs to you away from everyone else. No one will dare to take it away from you. You can come to me when you've thought it through. I'll return everything to you by that time."
Clarissa didn't say anything. Everyone was silent for a while before they all stood up.
