Love In Twilight By Tiny Mountains Chapter 229

Chapter 229 She Was Really Pregnant The next day, Damien went to work.

Clarissa packed her luggage and left the villa.

She had already booked her plane ticket the night before.

Before the plane took flight, she received a text message from her bank. Damien had transferred one

hundred million dollars to her account.

Aside from that, his assistant had sent her a WhatsApp message. He had sent her the locations of the

two houses in Genovia, along with photos of the house deeds and the details of the ownership transfer.

It had been a long time since Clarissa had last received a message from this number. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

In fact, she had been very confused when she had first received his messages because she had saved

his number as “President Shaw, computer company”.

She had wondered why he was sending her information about houses.

President Shaw: (I’m President Lawrence’s assistant, and this is my personal number. If you face any

problems in the future, Mrs. Lawrence, you can always contact me at this number.] Clarissa smiled

bitterly. How long had Damien been lying to her? He hadn’t trusted her right from the start, and had set

up traps for her everywhere. She turned her phone off, and the plane took flight. Joseph picked her up

at the airport. In the car, he said, “You went back for so long. Are you tired?”

“It was pretty tiring to have a nocturnal schedule, but from now on…” She looked out the window,

unable to stop herself from feeling melancholic. “It’s all over.”

“You and him… are you two divorced?” Joseph asked.

“Yeah.” The moment Clarissa said this, a wave of nausea washed over her. She suppressed it.

However, it only became worse.

“Did you eat something bad?” he asked.

“I don’t think so,” she answered. She tried to recall whether there had been any egg yolk in the food

she’d had on the plane, but nothing came to mind. “Let’s get someone to look at you.” Joseph

continued, “I have a personal doctor, and I can get him to check on you.” Clarissa nodded.

At Joseph’s place.

After the doctor checked on Clarissa, his preliminary diagnosis was that she was pregnant.

Both she and Joseph were shocked to hear this.

“Doctor, is there any possibility that you could be wrong?” she asked.

She knew very well to whom the child belonged. She had only been with one man, so who else could it

be?

Clarissa guessed that it had been conceived on the night before her exam, but she’d made Damien

wear a condom.

Had it slipped off because they’d been at it for too long?

The doctor spread his hands. “If you want to be sure, you can go to the hospital for a checkup. It’s also

good for you to get a proper examination done.”

Clarissa was still taken aback even after the doctor had left.

She was divorced and pregnant.

Of course, Damien wouldn’t think that the baby was his. He thought that she was already pregnant at

that time.

But she wanted to do her master’s, and she wanted to be an accountant. She couldn’t allow the baby

to hold her back.

If she really was pregnant, she couldn’t continue with her studies…

Clarissa raised her hands and smacked her abdomen.

“What are you doing, Clarissa?” Joseph stopped her. She was mad. “I want to get rid of the baby.”

“It isn’t easy to get rid of a baby in Emmeria, and it’s not good for you too,” he said worriedly. After a

moment’s hesitation, he said, “Have the baby. I’ll raise it like it’s my own, and we’ll never have to let the

baby know. How about that?”

Clarissa was very hesitant. She missed Theresa terribly. Whenever she thought of Theresa, she would

remember how Damien had stood by the window.

His presence in her nightmares smothered her. No! She didn’t want to have his baby at all. It wasn’t

possible to get rid of the baby in Emmeria, which meant that Clarissa had no choice but to keep it.

She didn’t know what to do.

At this moment, Joseph received a call from Frank. He wanted Joseph to go back to Merania to take

over the family business.

“Dad, I’m doing fine in Emmeria. Why do you want me to go back?” Joseph had already gotten used to

the freedom in Emmeria.

Most importantly, Clarissa was here.

He had initially thought that he could be free with her here.

Now, however, she was pregnant, and he was being asked to return home.

Genovia

Damien went to Frank and asked him to do something to order Joseph to return to Merania.

“But President Lawrence…” It was obvious that Frank didn’t agree with this. If Joseph were to come

back, he would have to spend the rest of his life in Damien’s shadow.

It hadn’t been easy for Joseph to build a life abroad, and he was about to start his own firm, How could

Frank allow Joseph to fail at this juncture?

“You’re not willing?” Damien stared threateningly at Frank.

Frank owed the Lawrence family.

Back then, he was the one who had told Madam Zell about her husband having an affair, and about all

the things her husband had bought for his mistress. Madam Zell couldn’t afford such things for herself,

and she was furious. At the same time, Frank often showed her murder documentaries where the

victim was always a husband who had betrayed his wife. As time . passed, Madam Zell started to place

herself in the shoes of those murderers and kept thinking of doing the same to her husband…

Madam Zell’s full name was Theresa Zell. As she slowly started to lose her mind, the whole

neighborhood stopped referring to her by name and only addressed her as Madam Zell.

She finally reached her limit when her husband stayed out again, and the mistress sent her a recording

of them in bed.

Madam Zell wanted to rip her husband to shreds, with the whole neighborhood as witnesses.

In truth, the mistress hadn’t been the one to send her the video. Frank was the one behind it.

Years had passed since then, and Frank was getting old. At the same time, what had happened to

Theresa was also related to the events of the past.

He couldn’t help but feel ashamed when facing Damien.

“Since you’re not willing, the Moore family’s assets and Great West Accounting Firm…”

“I’ll do it, I’ll do it!” Frank hurriedly said.

He knew that Clarissa was also at Kortel University.

Though Damien had long since gotten his hands on Frank’s dirt, he hadn’t done anything to the Moore

family. At the very least, they could stay away from each other and not interfere in each other’s

business.

However, Joseph and Clarissa had become close after she and Damien had gotten married. This had

resulted in the Moore family business being at risk of going bankrupt. Frank knew that with Damien’s

abilities, he would be able to bankrupt the Moore family at any time.

He had no choice but to call Joseph!
