Chapter 84 Compete Again
Elliot's face changed.
Lara grabbed his arm and said in a trembling voice, "Elliot, I didn't..."
Lauren sneered, "You can continue to pretend!"
Lara was speechless.
More and more people suspected her, and she couldn't stand it anymore.
Looking sadly at Clarissa, she said in a trembling voice, "Clarissa, I didn't expect you to say this under the circumstances! Well, since you insist that I framed you, I have nothing to say. But you can't prove your innocence just by saying this!"
One of Lara's admirers couldn't bear to see her being so sad and fragile.
He spoke for her, "Yes, you didn't explain it five years ago. It has been so long, and now you say that you were wronged. How can you prove it?
Lauren was stunned.
She had been following Clarissa's plan, but she did not expect that things would become like this.
Hearing this, she squinted at Clarissa.
Clarissa sneered and was about to speak.
"Who said that she can't prove it?"
A cold and steady voice suddenly came from outside.
The voice was indifferent, unemotional and commanding, but it shocked everyone.
Clarissa was also shocked. She turned to the door in disbelief and looked at the tall figure who was walking in.
Anderson?
Why was he here?
The people around were also stunned.
Many of the people who attended the party were successful and famous in society.
Although they had no dealings with Anderson, they all knew him.
After all, he was a person who would be on the financial news every week.
But... why was he here?
Was Wildridge High School that famous? Even such a powerful person like Anderson was here!
Everyone felt happy in their hearts, thinking that it was their honor to see Anderson on the anniversary celebration of their school!
Anderson glanced at everyone with cold eyes, and then looked at Clarissa.
"Since they all said that they didn't steal the design, they can compete again and draw the draft five years ago. Then we'll know who is the plagiarist!"
When Carson and others saw him, all of them were surprised and happy.
"Mr. Jordan, nice to see you here."
Anderson nodded lightly and ignored him.
People from the Richardson family scolded Clarissa at the birthday party last time, and he hadn't got even with them yet!
Seeing that Anderson didn't seem to want to talk to him, Carson didn't walk to him. He could only say with a apologetic smile, "I didn't know that you would come here. Please forgive me for not welcoming you outside."
Anderson frowned.
Then he turned his head and glanced at him.
"It was you who invited me, wasn't it? Why don't you know that I would come?"
Carson was speechless.
So were others.
They thought, "You really don't know how hard it is to invite you?"
"Over the years, you've been to no more than ten parties!"
Although they thought like this, no one dared to really say it.
Carson said with embarrassment, "You're right. We are all to blame for being negligent. Please forgive me..."
Anderson raised his hand to interrupt him, "Alright, let's get done to business! What do you think of my proposal just now? If you want, you can take the exam immediately. Anyway, you just need to draw your own design. It shouldn't take much time! "
Lara's face changed.
Clarissa's expression changed slightly and she answered directly, "No problem. I agree with this proposal."
After that, she turned to look at Lara.
"I remember you said to others that it took you two months to finish the design, and you made painstaking efforts to draw the draft. You shouldn't forget what it looks like, right? It shouldn't be difficult for you to draw it again. Am I right?"
Lara's entire face changed.
She looked at Clarissa viciously, as if she wanted to kill her.
Lauren enraged her, "Lara, don't you dare to compete with Clarissa? Tut, just say it if you're afraid of being found out! If you give up directly, it means you admit that you framed Clarissa that year. We don't want you to do anything. We just want you to kneel down and apologize. Clarissa, what do you think?"
Clarissa smiled.
"What's more, kowtow to me! Anyway, I have been wronged for five years."
They chimed with each other like this, as if it was all settled.
Lara couldn't be more angry.
Seeing that her expression was a little strange, Elliot had already got the answer.
Although he couldn't believe that the kind Lara in his heart would do such a thing.
He had to defend her.
"Lara, are you not feeling well? Do you want me to take you to the hospital first?"
Lara nodded.
She covered her belly with a pale face.
"Mr. Jordan, I agree with your proposal, but I don't feel well now. Can I compete with Clarissa tomorrow?"
Anderson frowned.
Clarissa said before he could say anything, "No problem!"
Seeing Anderson look at her, she smiled and said, "After all, she is pregnant. Just put it off. Sooner or later, the day of reckoning will come. It's okay. I'm not in a hurry."
Someone laughed when they heard that.
Lara's colour came and went as she listened
But at least she didn't have to draw the draft right now. She could only suppress the anger in her heart, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, let's have a competition tomorrow. Where do you want to have the competition?"
"Just here! I'll be waiting for you here at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. You must come."
"Don't worry. I will come."
After she finished speaking, she turned her head and said to Elliot, "Let's go first."
Elliot held Lara and left.
After they left, the others naturally dispersed.
Carson seldom saw Anderson and wanted to flatter him, but Anderson suddenly stepped forward and took Clarissa's hand. He put her hand in his palm, and said unhappily, "Today is a big day! You left me alone at home just to attend such a party? It's so boring here."
Clarissa smiled awkwardly.
"Don't say that. Anyway... I had been studying here for three years."
"Ha! People in this school can't even distinguish right from wrong. You don't have to like here even if you've studied here for 30 years."
As he spoke, he took Clarissa's hand and walked out.
Carson's face changed.
He immediately followed them.
"Mr. Jordan."
Anderson stopped and turned to look at him with cold eyes.
"Carson, I always thought that, as the principle of the first key high school in Visstead, you could at least distinguish right from wrong, but now it seems that I was wrong. But it doesn't matter, because I'll protect my woman on my own. I just hope that everyone in the Richardson family can behave themselves in the future."
After saying that, he left with Clarissa.
Carson's expression changed.
Behave themselves?
What did he mean?
Everyone knew that the Richardson family could be so powerful in Visstead because of the Levine family in Flaucford.
As for the relationship between the Levine family and the Jordan Family...
Carson's face turned pale instantly.
After Clarissa and Anderson walked out of the hotel, they didn't not get on the car immediately.
Seeing that Clarissa's hands were a little cold, Anderson ran to the drink shop and bought a cup of hot milk for her in person, asking her to hold the cup.
He took the scarf she bought from his neck and wore it for her.
While wearing it, he complained.
"In such a cold day, why do you wear so little? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold? Do you think you're very strong?"
