Chapter 490 A Revolution
The reason why Clarissa did not directly call on Harrison to be the heir was that her understanding of Harrison was very one-sided.
For some things, it was the best to let nature take its course. If you meddled too much in it, it could be counterproductive.
As soon as this video was released, the whole of the League of Sapphire was in an uproar.
Harrison called her at first instance, sounding anxious and angry.
"Clarissa, why are you doing this? Don't you know what it means?"
At that time, Clarissa had just finished her dinner and was sitting in the courtyard to help with her digestion.
The baby was in the cradle beside her, sucking on the dummy, making a squeaky sound.
Anderson was in the study dealing with work. The servants knew that she liked to be quiet, so they were all busy. No one came to disturb her.
She leaned against the bamboo chair and smiled warmly and languidly.
"What's wrong with you, Harrison. The email I sent has paved the way for you. Why aren't you happy about it?"
Harrison was speechless for a moment.
After a long while, he said angrily, "When did I ask you to pave the way for me? Do you know what you have given up?"
Clarissa said indifferently, "I know."
"No, you don't. Do you know how many people would kill for getting to that position? But now you actually said that you don't want it?"
Clarissa lowered her eyes slightly.
She could see her baby looking at her with his big dark eyes. His little face was chubby and pinkish. Feeling her gaze on him, he curled his lips into a smile.
Her heart suddenly softened as she said softly, "Harrison, some things are precious to you, but to me, they are just burdens. I have already found the most important things in my life, and I don't want anything else."
"You keep telling me to think it through, and I can tell you this responsibly, I have thought about it carefully. That video is the most careful decision I could ever make. So, about this matter, you could stop telling me about it. I have made up my mind and I'm never changing it."
Harrison was anxious, but at the same time, he sighed helplessly and said, "You..."
"Clarissa, why are you the same as your father?"
"Love and family, could they really be more important than everything else?"
This might be something that those who had been power-driven would never understand.
Clarissa didn't want to talk to him anymore. She said, "Harrison, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up."
"Clarissa..."
"I think you must have been very busy during this period of time, so instead of wasting time to call me, it's better to think about how to stabilize the current situation. There is only one chance, and it can't be missed. I believe you know this better than me. Once you succeed, I will prepare liquor at home, and then I will invite you over for dinner."
After that, Clarissa didn't give him any chance to speak anymore and directly hung up the phone.
Harrison was suddenly being hung up on. For a moment, he was angry and helpless.
And Clarissa, after hanging up the phone, didn't think about it again.
She got up, picked up the baby in the cradle, and said with a chuckle, "Baby, are you hungry? I will take you home and feed you milk, okay?"
She then carried the baby into the house.
However, Clarissa did not see the man standing there on the open-air balcony on the second floor. His deep gaze fell on her, full of affection.
In the evening, Old Madam Jordan brought Anne over to visit little Marf.
Since they were already here, of course they stayed here for dinner.
The family spent some quality time together. Anderson had a video conference in the evening, so after having a meal, he went to the study to make a phone call.
Old Madam Jordan, Clarissa, and Anne were sitting in the courtyard and chatting.
For some reason, they talked about the Hampden family.
Old Madam Jordan stared at her meaningfully. "Clarissa, you have done a good job in this matter. Although our Jordan Family doesn't have as strong a foundation as the Hampden family, the situation in the Hampden family could be quite complicated and out of control, not to mention..."
She paused and sighed. "It's already a new era. The Hampden family still wants to retain their old traditions and refuse to give up their pursuit of power and wealth. But that itself, it's contradictory in nature. It's a waste of time to get yourself into trouble like that."
Clarissa smiled. "Grandma, you're right. I'm thinking the same thing."
At this moment, Anderson walked out.
"Grandma, why haven't you left yet? Grandpa just called and urged you to go back!"
Old Madam Jordan glared at him. "Stop rushing me! I haven't seen enough of my great-grandson!"
Beatty looked at the time and smiled. "Mom, it's really late. You're used to an early bedtime. If you don't go back, I'm afraid it'll be really late."
When Old Madam Jordan heard what she said, she didn't say anything more.
The driver drove the car over right away. The duo got into the car and left.
After Anderson saw them off, he turned around and wrapped his arms around Clarissa's waist.
"What did you say to grandma and the others just now?"
Clarissa smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just about the Hampden family."
"I get it."
Anderson let out a careless hum, as his hand subconsciously traveled up.
Clarissa's back was stiff, as a touch of blush appeared on her face.
"Don't do this, we are still outside!"
"Then let's go back to the bedroom."
"Don't... Ah!"
Before she could finish her words, she had already been scooped up, heading towards the bedroom.
"The baby..."
"The servants to look after him. It's not a problem."
"Anderson, ah! Don't bite..."
A room full of exhilaration.
At the same time, on the other side.
Evelyn sat in front of the dressing table, quietly looking at her own reflection in the mirror. She slowly turned herself from being elegant and comely to being attractive and charming.
She was going to take part in an event tonight.
This activity was a highly recognized fashion party in the entertainment circle today.
Not only it was star-studded, the powerful figures of all walks of life would also be invited to the event.
The event was full of famous designers, directors, and even well-known sponsors.
It could be said that it was a grand industry party.
Thus, only people who fulfilled a certain criteria would be invited.
First of all, one's identity must be respectable enough.
A celebrity without a few outstanding works or being extremely influential would not be allowed to join.
For others, even Evelyn, who had won several awards and was a well-known big shot, was just barely qualified to attend the event tonight.
One could imagine how high the requirements were.
Therefore, tonight's party was also known as the grand industry party by insiders.
But those who knew about this party naturally would kill for an invitation to the event.
After all, once he or she could participate in the event, one could imagine how many connections and opportunities he or she could accumulate.
So did Evelyn.
She had worked so hard for so long to obtain the qualification to attend the event, and it was all for opportunities and wealth that it could bring her.
