The API return value in my case as shown here:

{
  "pageIndex": 1,
  "pageSize": 10,
  "totalCount": 1,
  "totalPageCount": 1,
  "items": [
    {
      "firstName": "Stephen",
      "otherNames": "Ebichondo",
      "phoneNumber": "+254721250736",
      "gender": 0,
      "clientStatus": 0,
      "dateOfBirth": "1979-08-16T00:00:00",
      "nationalID": "21734397",
      "emailAddress": "sebichondo@gmail.com",
      "id": 1,
      "addedDate": "2018-02-02T00:00:00",
      "modifiedDate": "2018-02-02T00:00:00"
    }
  ],
  "hasPreviousPage": false,
  "hasNextPage": false
}

The conversion of the items array to list of clients was handled as shown here:

 if (responseMessage.IsSuccessStatusCode)
        {
            var responseData = responseMessage.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
            JObject result = JObject.Parse(responseData);

            var clientarray = result["items"].Value();
            List clients = clientarray.ToObject>();
            return View(clients);
        }
