Clarissa made Damien’s grandfather happy every day that week. He would smile from ear to ear. Occasionally, Damien would transfer money to her. Since Clarissa already had enough money for the computers, she did not really care. On Sunday, Clarissa told Damien she was taking a day off because she had to go for the certified public accountant lessons. She bumped into someone in the classroom corridor. It was none other than her ex-colleague, Nicole Brown. “Nicole? Are you taking the certified public accountant exam too? I didn’t see you last time.”Clarissa felt a bit guilty upon meeting Nicole. After all, it was because of her that Nicole could not remain in New East Corporation. “I started working in a new company and only just registered for this class four days ago,” said Nicole. Then, she took a sip of coffee. “You found a new job?”Nicole replied nonchalantly, “President Lawrence introduced me to another accounting firm. The pay is double in comparison to New East Cor
When the police arrived at the scene, Anthony was pushing Clarissa. Both of them were taken away to the police station. Joseph followed them by driving his car, but he could only wait outside. The sky was getting darker. Soon, it rained. Joseph’s impatience kept growing. In the end, Clarissa was asked to contact her relatives or friends so they could bail her out. Clarissa was afraid of Damien’s reaction after finding out about this incident, so she did not call him. Besides, their relationship was only on a surface level. Damien was not responsible for her. Thus, she dialed Luke’s number. "What do you want? I have no money." Almost immediately, Luke hung up. After drugging Clarissa, Luke got a scolding from Joseph and was almost fired. Since his ploy had failed, he was in deep trouble.How could he possibly help the person whom he had a grudge against? The beeping sound made Clarissa feel embarrassed. Her own brother had hung up on her without a second thought.
“Let’s go.” Damien pulled Clarissa’s hand, and the two of them got into the car.Joseph stood there looking dumbfounded. ‘Clarissa is married?!’He sent Luke a WhatsApp message. [ Is your sister married? ]*Damien’s car.“Why haven’t you told him yet?” Damien asked Clarissa.Clarissa held her bag tightly and blamed herself. She really shot herself in the foot this time.“I’m sorry.” Clarissa lowered her head. It seemed that it was time to explain to Damien about her “fake boyfriend”.“What’s so shameful about being married? Or are you afraid that our marriage will stop his romantic advances toward you?” Damien said sarcastically.“No…”“Didn’t he go out of town for an internship? Why did he go to class with you?” Damien asked again.Damien’s tone had been cold the whole day, and it made her shudder.“He’s the trainer for economic law.”“So, you meet him every time you go to training?”“No, please listen to my explanation…”“Anyway, you’re not allowed to go to those trai
On Sunday noon, Clarissa informed Damien about a training session in the afternoon.Damien was drinking a bowl of soup and said calmly, “Get Mrs. Faber to accompany you.”“Hubby, you really keep your word!” Clarissa was delighted.“You don’t need to flatter me. Don’t even think about going if something happens again.” Damien picked up a tissue and wiped his hands.Clarissa stuck out her tongue and thought to herself, ‘I can’t hide anything from Damien…’Clarissa saw Nicole in the training session.She did not expect Nicole to stutter when she spoke. Nicole’s body was even trembling slightly as if she was a little scared.“Clarissa, I’m really sorry about what happened last time,” Nicole said, “My brother shouldn’t have treated you like that.”“It’s okay. You can’t control your brother’s behavior.” Clarissa understood how Nicole felt because she also had a good-for-nothing brother.This time, Nicole deliberately hid in a corner of the classroom far away from Clarissa.Clarissa
Damien called his subordinate to inquire about Clarissa’s mother’s condition.He also specifically asked his assistant to look into what happened on the day Clarissa decided to marry him.The assistant said that Clarissa’s mother had a buildup of phlegm in the lungs that day. Thus, Clarissa needed to pay 60,000 dollars in addition to the hospitalization fee.Initially, Clarissa refused to marry Damien, but she later agreed to his proposal. Damien finally knew the reason for her sudden change in attitude.She needed the money.Clarissa had no affection for him, so she was not playing hard to get.Damien was a little disappointed to know this.However, there was one thing that Damien did not quite understand. He had given her about 300,000 dollars, excluding 180,000 dollars that he transferred to her in a fit of anger. She had more than enough to pay for the 60,000 dollars hospitalization fee. Moreover, Damien also promised that she would get no less than five million dollars afte
The economic law exam was scheduled for Saturday, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.After Clarissa arrived at the examination room, she realized that she did not bring her ID with her. She could not remember where it was.She was extremely reluctant to trouble Damien, but she would not be able to take the test without her ID.Clarissa called Damien.“Hubby, can you please help me to look for my ID? I didn’t bring it with me.” Although Clarissa was anxious, she tried her best to keep a low voice when she talked to Damien.“What about your brain?” Damien’s voice was calm.“I didn’t bring it either… It’s very urgent. Please do me a favor!” Clarissa begged him.“Wait a minute.” After that, Damien hung up the phone.He turned to Madelynn, who was sitting on the sofa, and said, “Wait downstairs.”“What’s the matter?” Madelynn asked, pretending to be concerned.“Clarissa went to take an exam and didn’t bring her ID.” After speaking, Damien went up the stairs.“Oh, really? Then you should
“Damien, why don’t you go downstairs?” Madelynn went upstairs at some point.Damien had a heavy heart, but he was more so angry. He closed Zach’s diary and said, “Coming.”At that time, Madelynn went over.“What’s this?” Madelynn picked up a photo of Zach from Clarissa’s suitcase.Madelynn knew it was Clarissa’s suitcase because Damien would never use a suitcase of such poor quality.She also knew that the notebook in Damien’s hand was related to Clarissa.Damien might have discovered something, which was why he stayed upstairs for so long.“Damien, this man looks just like you!” Madelynn raised her head with surprise, as if she had discovered something new.In fact, Zach and Damien were only 10 percent alike, but when Madelynn said this, it seemed that they were very similar.“Really?” Damien pulled the corners of his lips and said with a grim expression.Madelynn saw Damien’s expression and continued, “Yeah, he looks like you, especially when he smiles!”“Let’s go downstai
Clarissa fantasized about Damien, but she never had hopes about this marriage.She would move out if he wanted her to, and she would not feel like she was at a loss.Clarissa also specially sent a WhatsApp message to Luke. [ Look at what you’ve done! Damien took out his anger on me and kicked me out because you tried to extort him. What do you think I’m worth to him? He’ll only give me some change when he’s happy. I don’t even dare to ask him for money, yet you went to extort him?! ]Clarissa did this to dispel Luke’s idea of continuing to extort Damien and to warn him that Damien was not one to be trifled with.Luke got angry when he saw this message.He could tell that Damien was not a good-natured person nor a fool.“How heartless!” Luke muttered.“Who?” Joseph asked.Luke was the driver of the Moore family and was sending Joseph to the accounting firm.Joseph had his own firm.“Damien Lawrence. He kicked Clarissa out!”“Why?”“I don’t know. He probably just likes to b
