You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 174

Matthew was the one who took the lead.

They parted ways after getting off from work.

Clarissa returned to Zen Highlands alone, while Matthew went to meet Matthias and Yuliana.

She felt it would bore her to death if she was to eat by herself, so she contacted Ellie when she was on the way home and went to the restaurant they agreed to meet.

They reached the restaurant rather late and saw Yvonne and Luke.

Clarissa raised a brow at the sight of Yvonne clinging to Luke. She has a fiancé, but she’s cheating on him. Is she not worried that Mason will know?

Both of them saw Clarissa, while Yvonne’s expression was unsightly as she was anxious about being caught cheating. Nonetheless, Clarissa pretended to not see them and held Ellie’s arm while walking away, as this had nothing to do with her.

“Wait, Clarissa,” Yvonne said, while Ellie smirked and beckoned at Clarissa as if she was saying “See, I guessed it correctly.”

Ellie whispered, “They will surely ask you to keep it a secret.”

Clarissa didn’t give Yvonne any response. When she turned around, she saw Yvonne in front of them, while Luke was standing nearby. He wore a wicked smiled and sized up Clarissa.

Disgusted with the way he smiled, Clarissa frowned, trying to neglect him, and turned to look at Yvonne.

She didn’t wait for Yvonne to say anything, as she wanted to leave as soon as possible. “I don’t have time to mind your business, so we didn’t meet tonight, and I didn’t know who’s with you. Rest assured.”

Having her words spoken by others, Yvonne fell silent, as she felt awkward.

Clarissa remained expressionless, but Luke’s gaze was fixated on her beautiful features.

Yvonne didn’t understand why Luke didn’t lay his hand on Clarissa and was jealous of how the man was eyeing the latter.

At the same time, Clarissa was calm, and this made Yvonne felt annoyed.

Suddenly, her expression turned dark, and she scolded, “What do you mean by that? Are you assuming I’m doing some shady business with Mr. Harrison? My family has business cooperation with him, so there’s nothing wrong with having a meal together. Clarissa, are you slandering us on purpose? Who do you think you are?”

Clarissa was taken aback by Yvonne twisting the facts.

Opening her mouth, she didn’t know what to say, while Ellie snickered, “So what if it was on purpose? I’ll tell your fiancé you’re cheating on him. Let’s see if he trusts you enough to dismiss my words as lies.”

Yvonne had met Ellie before, and she knew she shouldn’t offend the latter.

That is why Yvonne could only suppress her anger when Ellie defended Clarissa. “Ms. Tyson, don’t think that you can bully others because you have a powerful family background. There’s nothing between me and Mr. Harrison, so save your false accusations.”

Ellie folded her arms and smirked. “Haha! I do what I want, and even if there’s really nothing between you guys, I can make it so that it becomes the opposite. Wanna try?”

Gritting her teeth, Yvonne was harboring hatred toward Ellie, but she didn’t dare to express it.

From the beginning until now, Luke was only there as a spectator and he didn’t even help Yvonne when she was at a disadvantage.

When Clarissa and Ellie walked away, Yvonne paced toward Luke and whined, “Luke, why didn’t you defend me? I was bullied by them. Boohoo…”

As cringeworthy as she looked when she whined to Luke, she looked way worse when she lost her temper in secret.

Luke felt nothing from the woman’s actions, and he smiled coldly. “Didn’t you hear what Ms. Tyson said? If you anger her, she’ll expose us to your fiancé and you’ll suffer. I’m worried you’ll suffer if our relationship was exposed.”

He’s worried about me?

Listening to his sugarcoated words, Yvonne hugged him happily and said, “I know you care for me.”

She was easily fooled by the man she loved. Well, love makes people blind, and Yvonne wasn’t intelligent, to begin with.

In the meantime, when Clarissa and Ellie sat at their table, the latter couldn’t help but argue with her. “Clare, why not fight back when people bully you? Did you use all of your courage and temper on Uncle Matt?”

Clarissa’s lips twitched when she heard Ellie’s words. “That’s not it. It’s meaningless to fight with her.”

Ellie asked, “Then what is meaningful to you?”

“I just don’t want to stoop to the same level as her,” Clarissa explained.

Ellie glanced at her. “It seems you’re only a tyrant at home.”

Clarissa smiled awkwardly. “Ellie, I’m not a coward. I admit I never hold back my temper toward Matthew, but this is because I know he can tolerate me as he loves me. However, as for others, I’ll be rational. Yvonne is an unreasonable person, so there’s no point in arguing with her. Fighting with her will only ruin our mood, and this isn’t worth it. Besides, fighting in public will only make me look bad.”

Clarissa cupped her face, showing off her beauty, which resembled a fairy. “Plus, It’ll be more satisfying to ask others to put her in a sack and beat her up.”

Ellie curved her lips and burst into laughter when she thought about what Clarissa said. “Fine. Let’s eat, Miss Fairy. Oh, right! Do fairies need to eat?”

Clarissa replied, “I enjoy food from the human world. Hehe…”

“I bet you like men from the human world more, especially Uncle Matt. He tastes even better, no?” Ellie gave Clarissa an ambiguous gaze as she raised a brow.

Clarissa’s cheeks blushed immediately, and she grumbled, “Eat your food. Why are you so dirty- minded?”

“Humph! It’s not my problem. Every human has desires. Don’t tell me you’re just chatting with Uncle Matt in bed. No one will believe that. I do learn something watching those porn tapes,” Ellie said as she shrugged.

“Fine, Fine! Whatever. Let’s eat. Eat…” Clarissa’s face was as red as a tomato.

Lowering her head, she focused on eating her food, as she didn’t dare to talk about that topic with Ellie again.

The latter burst into laughter as she looked at Clarissa’s reaction, and ate her food.

When Clarissa had more or less eaten her fill, she got up and went to the washroom. Right when she was coming out from the washroom, she bumped into a woman.

Both of them were stunned. It was almost the same situation when they met at the airport.

Nevertheless, Sienna smiled and greeted, “Ms. Quigley, what a coincidence! I’m with Matt in the private room. Sorry for taking up his time. You’re not angry, right?”

Clarissa raised a brow. “I allowed him to eat outside. It must’ve been tough for you. To have a meal with Matthew, you’ll need Matthias and Yuliana with you.”

Suddenly, Sienna laughed. “Did Matt tell you that? We’re eating with Matthias and Yuliana?”

Her words had some underlying meaning to them, but she didn’t stop and added, “Well, if that’s how he puts it, so be it.”

Clarissa’s expression turned gloomy, while Sienna smiled apologetically and walked into the washroom, reluctant to drag on the conversation.

She thought Clarissa had left.

To her surprise, when she came out of the washroom, Clarissa was on a call with someone outside the washroom.

Walking past Clarissa, Sienna heard the former said, “That’s even better! I bumped into Ms. Grande just now. Are you guys having dinner together?”

After pausing for a moment, she continued, “Oh, is that so? Haha… I’ll wait for you at the entrance.”

Sienna halted in her tracks and this time, it was Clarissa’s turn to leave without sparing the former another word.

However, Sienna was the one that spoke, “Ms. Quigley, do you think you’re fitted to become Matthew’s wife? Of course. I don’t mean to insult you. You’re young, beautiful, and smart, but these aren’t enough to become Mrs. Tyson. Even if you guys love each other, how long will it last? How do you see yourself in ten years? Do you have a common topic of interest with Matthew? Are you guys on the same page? Then how about the career prospect? Can you understand the complicated connections between the Tysons and the business and political figures?”

When she was saying her words, she was calm and poised. Even though she made it seem like she wasn’t looking down on Clarissa, the latter could sense that she was acting all high and mighty.

It was as if she was saying that they were on a much higher level than Clarissa was, and she would never be able to reach them.

It sounded reasonable, but Sienna was just using her status to achieve her goal: make Clarissa be ashamed of herself and leave Matthew.

Obviously, Sienna was happy with how she handled this.

She said, “Ms. Quigley, I admire you too. We can still be friends.”

Clarissa almost faltered, but she held her ground.

This woman is my love rival.

No matter how tempting her words are, she just wants to take Matthew away from me.

Clarissa couldn’t help but sneered, “Sienna, that’s a great way to phrase your words, but no matter how effective it is, you can’t change a fact.”

Sienna smiled and asked, “What is it?”

“That fact is that you’re just a mistress who’s trying to snatch my boyfriend,” Clarissa smirked.

Sienna’s expression darkened instantly, and it was unsightly. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Clarissa smiled with disdain. “Matthew is my boyfriend. Whatever reason and explanation you give, you’re just trying to separate us. So it’s not wrong to call you a mistress. I admire you too. You’re well mannered, so you won’t become a mistress, right?”
