Chapter 81 Drive A Wedge Between Us
Lola was completely panicked by everyone's whispers.
Seeing that Clarissa didn't want to let her off, she suddenly said, "Enough! There's no trade secrets! This is just a simple design manuscript."
"Clarissa, you stole Lara's design draft five years ago and passed it off as yours, so that she missed the qualification to be admitted to Winters School of Fine Arts."
'Now, you want to take this original manuscript to frame her so people would think it was Lara who stole your design five years ago! You are so vicious! Are you afraid that you'll be punished by God?"
Hearing her words, everyone was stunned.
What? Was she holding the design manuscript that made Clarissa fall into the scandal five years ago?
What did she mean?
Someone understood Lola's words, and then looked at Clarissa with disdain.
Since Clarissa wanted use the original manuscript five years ago to frame Lara and say that the design was hers, this meant that...
Lauren's expression changed when she heard that.
She gave Clarissa a hint with the eyes.
Clarissa only asked her to catch Lola, but she didn't tell her about this!
Naturally, she would not think that it was Clarissa who wanted to frame Lara.
She just didn't expect Lola to say this. There was no evidence that could prove that Clarissa was framed five years ago, so she could not prove her innocence all the time. If people really believed what Lola said, they could only get themselves into trouble again.
Lauren was very nervous, but Clarissa only sneered.
"You said that the design draft in the U disk is the original manuscript of the design five years ago?"
Lola straightened her chest, "Of course."
"Ha!"
Clarissa smiled coldly. She didn't say anything, went straight to the table next to her, turned on the laptop and inserted the U disk.
Soon, that document was shown on the screen.
"Lara, it happens that you are here. Why don't you come over and have a look at this document?"
Lara was slightly startled when she suddenly heard her own name. She forced herself to calm down and walked over. When she saw the colorful design draft on the computer screen, she opened her eyes wide in disbelief.
"The latest original manuscript of Amy's design?"
Clarissa raised her head slightly, "Yes, I found it on the Internet. I originally wanted to keep it to study the recent inspiration and style of her design. But I didn't expect you to be so interested in this design! If you tell me earlier, I would send you a copy of this. Why do you have to steal it? Am I right?"
Lara's face completely changed.
So did Lola.
How could it be like this?
When Lola was caught just now, Lara did not completely give up hope.
Because in the eyes of the public, she was the victim of what happened five years ago.
As long as she insisted that it was Clarissa who wanted to frame her, and she asked Lola to steal the manuscript just to protect herself, everyone would be on her side.
But at this moment...
How could it be like this?
Clarissa narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"Lara, it seems that you are very disappointed!"
Lara was expressionless. As long as she thought that she had fallen into Clarissa's trap that night, she felt chills in her back.
Next to her, Elliot sensed something was wrong and asked her in a low voice, "Lara, what's going on with this?"
Although others didn't know the relationship between Lola and Lara, he knew it.
However, Lara did not speak.
Lauren said impatiently, "Alright! Since everything is clear, call the police!"
Lola said loudly, "You can't do that!"
"Who do you think you're? Why should I listen to you?"
"You can't call the police!"
Lola suddenly rushed over and slapped the phone that Lauren was taking out, and her entire face was full of panic and fear.
Clarissa said coldly, "Since you think I want to frame you and Lara, shouldn't I call the police? It's fairer to ask the police to find out whether it is I who want to frame you."
Lola shook her head, "No!"
Although she was only a third-rate actress, she was already a little famous.
It was not easy for her to be famous. If Lauren called the police and she was confirmed to be a thief, her career would be ruined!
Clarissa sneered.
"I can listen to you, but you have to tell me why you came here."
Beside them, Lara clenched her fists.
She stepped back silently.
Pretending that she didn't see this, Clarissa reached out her hand and said blandly, "I'll count to three. If you don't say it, I won't give you any more chance. Let the police deal with it when they arrive!"
"One."
"two."
Clarissa paused for a moment.
"I'll say it!"
Lola suddenly said.
There was an uproar outside.
There was really an inside story!
Seeing that the situation was going against her, Lara touched her forehead and fell on Elliot.
"Elliot, my head hurts so much. It's so noisy here. Can you help me out?"
Elliot didn't want to leave.
Because it was something about Clarissa and Lola, and he also wanted to know what was going on.
However, looking at Lara's pale face and painful expression, he frowned and helped her walk out.
"It's Lara! She asked me to come here. She said that you stole the original manuscript of her design five years ago and you wanted to prove your innocence tonight. She didn't want you to take out the manuscript, so she asked me to come over and steal it. It's none of my business. She asked me to do it!"
Everyone was stunned.
For a second, they could hardly believe what they had heard.
What?
Lara?
Elliot was also stunned.
He looked down at Lara in his arms, only to see that Lara's face turned so pale. His lips parted slightly.
But before he could speak, he heard Clarissa's extremely indifferent voice.
"Lara, since things have come to this point, I'm afraid that it is a little inappropriate for you to leave now!"
Lara and Elliot stood still.
In everyone's eyes, they turned around stiffly.
Lara smiled reluctantly and looked at Clarissa.
"I don't know what Lola is talking about."
Lola opened her eyes wide.
"Lara, you can't say this. You said that Clarissa had the original manuscript five years ago and asked me to get it back for you. How can you deny it now?"
Lara took a deep breath, and her face darkened.
She looked at Lola with a sad expression on her face.
"Lola, Clarissa is my elder sister. We have already made things clear five years ago. I don't want to mention it anymore. I believe that Clarissa has changed. Now our relationship is very good. How could she frame me?"
"Don't make up a story for no reason and drive a wedge between us!"
Lola was stunned.
She couldn't believe that Lara would actually say this.
