Chapter 232 How Could He Drive Her Into a Corner “Make him change it,” Damien commanded

harshly. “Why?” Frank was surprised. He couldn’t understand why Damien was interfering with

something as simple as a firm’s name.

“I. Don’t. Like. It.” Damien enunciated his words.

Frank smiled awkwardly. ‘It’s not even your firm! You’re so bossy that it’s scary.‘

“Joseph might be my son, but he may not necessarily listen to me,” Frank said.

“Do whatever you can to make him change it.” After that, Damien left.

When Clarissa was four months pregnant, she started working at First.

She was pregnant with twins, and it was already showing.

In the end, Joseph hadn’t changed the firm’s name even when Frank had given the former a tight slap.

In fact, Joseph liked First very much.

As one of the partners, Clarissa had her own office, and it was very spacious.

Much more spacious than the one she had at New East Corporation.

After all, at that time, she was only an assistant.

She couldn’t stand to just laze around at home as she was a career-oriented person. The moment she

started work, she began to look around for clients.

At noon, Rebecca gave her a lead-an audit for Eternal Designs Corporation.

Great West and First were two companies under the same legal representatives. It was almost the end

of the year, and Great West was struggling to complete all of its audits. The audit for Eternal Designs

was a very profitable project, and since Rebecca had given this audit to First, Joseph would give her

some commission. Since she would be able to earn money without having to actually do the work,

Rebecca was more than happy to hand such cases to First. Rebecca was probably the happiest

person to see Clarissa working at First. “I’ve always wanted to work with you, and I wanted you to join

Great West. After everything that’s happened, you still ended up here and with Joseph, no?” Rebecca

winked teasingly at Clarissa. Clarissa wanted to say something in rebuttal, but her words sounded

unconvincing even to herself. She ended up not saying anything. She focused her attention on the

audit for Eternal Designs. It was a large project, and it would be enough to keep her busy for a long

time.

Rebecca mentioned that the finance director for Eternal Designs was a classmate of hers, and they Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

had agreed that Clarissa could contact him directly.

On this day, she called him.

“Hello, President Fenwick. I’m a colleague of Rebecca’s, and she was the one who told me to

contact you about the audit. When would be a good time for me to collect the documents from your

company?” Clarissa was a partner now, and aside from providing her expertise, she was also in charge

of getting business deals. She would earn more like this, but she also had to bear a heavier burden.

“This…” On the other end of the line, President Fenwick said awkwardly, “Miss Johnson, if you had

called me yesterday, I would’ve sent the documents over to you personally. But today, my boss has

promised the president of New East Corporation that they will handle the audit. I may be a director, but

I can’t go against my boss’s decision.”

“What?” Clarissa frowned.

“To tell you the truth, Rebecca and I are classmates, and I shouldn’t be going back on my word since

I’ve already promised her this, but my boss has put his foot down. I’m sorry, Miss Johnson. I really can’t

do anything about this. Maybe we can work together next time.”

After hanging up, Clarissa fell into deep thought.

This audit was supposed to be First’s earliest project. If New East Corporation snatched this from them,

it was possible that their potential clients would choose to work with New East instead of First. If things

were to go on like this, they would have to wind up the firm.

Clarissa wasn’t being paid a fixed salary now, so she had to bear the firm’s losses.

And since when had Damien started bringing in clients on his own?

Was there any chance for her to survive if she had to compete with him?

Was he determined to kill everyone in the Johnson family?

When Joseph walked past Clarissa’s office and saw her fuming, he asked her what had happened. She

told him everything.

“Is that all?” He didn’t seem to be bothered by this. “There are so many companies in Genovia. I’ll

handle the marketing part from now on, and you focus on managing the projects. How’s that?”

“Alright, then.” Though Clarissa said so, she still couldn’t help feeling furious. There was no way for her

to make it out of this unscathed if Damien was involved.

As expected, things didn’t go as smoothly as Joseph had predicted. From that day onward, every time

he was close to closing a deal, Damien would snatch it away from them.

New East Corporation was well established, and its audit department was renowned in Genovia.

Naturally, people would want to work with them compared to a newer, smaller firm.

By the end of the year, First had yet to bring in a single project, and Clarissa hadn’t earned a single

penny. It looked like she was going to have to survive on her savings.

She knew Damien was doing this to get at her. Now, she was truly infuriated. Even if Damien hadn’t

come for her, she would’ve gone after him.

He had killed her mother. What right did he have to force her into a dead end?
