Love in Twilight

Chapter 256

Not Going Back “Madam has fraternal twins of opposite sexes?” Mrs. Faber was puzzled but happy for

Clarissa.

“Well, that‘s what the ultrasound shows. In the end, only the truth will prevail.” Bethany looked like she

wasn‘t going to take responsibility if the babies came out as a twin of the same sex.

“Why didn‘t Madam tell us this big news?” As Mrs. Faber complained about Clarissa, she glanced at

Damien at the same time.

Damien was frowning hard in silence. Clearly, he was unaware of this either.

Damien immediately understood why Joseph gave Clarissa the two porcelain dolls as a gift. The gift

wasn‘t to represent Joseph and Clarissa. It symbolized Clarissa‘s babies!

In other words, Joseph long knew that Clarissa was pregnant with fraternal twins of opposite sexes.

Meanwhile, he, whose number was saved as the president of the New East Corporation on her phone,

was kept in the dark. If Bethany hadn‘t been here today, he would never know until the day Clarissa

gave birth. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Even so, there was nothing wrong with it. After all, Damien wasn‘t the father of the babies. The

children‘s genders were certainly none of his business!

She had no reason to share with him.

Damien looked very gloomy on New Year‘s Eve this year. However, he always wore the same face at

work, so his bad

mood wasn‘t obvious to most.

After dinner, Mrs. Faber went to do the dishes.

Ray invited everyone for a card game. Meanwhile, Damien sat on the sofa and read a book all by

himself.

“Why are you still reading on New Year‘s Eve, Damien? You‘re always making yourself smarter by

reading so much. Are you going to leave us all behind?” Ray turned sideways to glance at Damien

“Oh? You‘re reading the Biography of Zion?”

“Just play your damn card game,” Damien hissed impatiently.

“Look. We‘re all human, but why are we so different from him?” Ray said to the people playing cards

with him.

“Of course. We can‘t compete with President Lawrence‘s greatness,” Landon said, echoing Ray‘s

words.

Clarissa sat in between Lily and Bethany and watched them play the game. ‘He‘s great for sure, but

he‘s especially horrible to me. He‘s not forgiving or kind in the slightest.‘

Clarissa shot Damien a disdainful look. It so happened that he casually swept his eyes at Clarissa at

the same time. When their eyes met, Clarissa hurriedly shifted her gaze away.

“Lily, why do you always give Landon the good cards? If either one of you wins, will you split the

winnings?” Clarissa watched as Landon played great cards one after another.

Meanwhile, Bethany kept losing and cursing. “Bad cards, bad hands, bad luck...”

Clarissa watched the card game on the side. The number of times Bethany said good cards were no

less than a dozen.

“Argh, I don‘t want to play anymore! I‘m so unlucky tonight. I‘ve lost a thousand dollars! My mom didn‘t

even give me this much money this year...” Having said that, Bethany withdrew from the game and

went to the back.

When Bethany mentioned her mother, Clarissa‘s smile froze for a moment. However, she quickly

returned to her usual composure.

Last year, Theresa gave Clarissa money during New Year‘s, too.

Bethany stopped playing and sat on the couch to chat with Clarissa. “Clarissa, how did your business

do this year?”

“Well, I‘m making ends meet,” Clarissa said, feeling a little proud of herself.

“Well, then you‘re not doing that well. In the audit department in New East Corporation, every auditor

has a minimum bonus of five hundred thousand dollars this year with no cap. If you‘re still working for

us...” As Lily said that, she peeked at Damien to gauge his expression.

It was normal for subordinates to flatter their bosses.

Clarissa was stunned for a moment. She didn‘t expect New East Corporation to have such high

revenue this year. As expected of a big company! A small firm like theirs wouldn‘t reach that height so

soon.

“What do you think? Do you want to come back?” Lily continued.

“I have different ideals from the company. I‘m not going back,” Clarissa said, pretending to be in

disdain.

After saying that, she felt like she had said the wrong thing. What was she insinuating when she said

she was not going back?

Everyone else apparently noticed what Clarissa had said earlier. Lily kicked Clarissa quietly and

muttered fearfully,” Are you stupid?”

After Clarissa divorced Damien, she said she wasn‘t going back in his presence. She sounded like she

was just asking for trouble!

Clarissa shot Lily an annoyed look.

“Oh, by the way, Clarissa, I have big news to share! The yoga classes for our audit department have

started this month.” Lily was excited. “Unfortunately, those working in the lower floor offices can‘t even

go upstairs. The yoga classes there feel so high–end. Too bad it‘s just for the auditors.”

“Isn‘t there a lot of yoga classes out there?” Clarissa wasn‘t impressed.

“That‘s different. I told you about Miss Yvonne, remember? She specializes in teaching prenatal yoga.

It‘s good for you and your baby. It‘ll help you to have an easy natural birth, so it‘ll be easier to give birth

smoothly. Miss Yvonne‘s the only one in Genovia with this skill. It‘s not just any yoga classes, you

know!” Lily went on.

“Is it that good?” Clarissa was puzzled and amazed. She hadn‘t considered the birth yet. However,

everyone said that

could avoid the C–section, she wouldn‘t have to get a cut on her stomach.

“Clarissa, this is something you should probably consider. I‘m speaking from a professional doctor‘s

perspective.” Bethany remained seated on the sofa and added, “Besides, you have the right connection

here. A private lesson like this would cost more than five hundred dollars outside.”

Bethany and Clarissa weren‘t colleagues. Therefore, Bethany was unaware of Clarissa‘s conflict with

Damien. Besides, she wasn‘t Damien‘s subordinate, so she didn‘t take Damien‘s

side so much.

“It‘s that expensive?” Clarissa frowned a little.

Even so, Clarissa didn‘t plan to go back anymore. Although Bethany and Lily kept talking about it, she

would not go back to New East Corporation. Besides, her wish to be an independent accountant had

come true.

The audit department in New East Corporation was off limits to outsiders. Therefore, Clarissa would

never go.

As such, she didn‘t take this conversation to heart.

“Yeah, I bet you‘re regretting leaving New East Corporation,” Lily said to Clarissa, glancing at Damien

at the same time.

Damien had been sitting on the sofa and reading a book, expressionless all the way.
