You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 210

Having ended the call, Clarissa didn’t feel much better either.

She had assumed the relationship she had with Jamie was a genuine one. But in reality, Jamie had betrayed her over a man and a female lead role.

Clarissa felt that she was too naive and ended up having her sincerity trampled.

Meanwhile, Gina entered the room and sat beside Clarissa. “I’ve given the orders. Mr. Tyson told you to go ahead with however you want to resolve this.”

Clarissa didn’t utter a word further as she hugged her knees, looking feeble.

“Gina, is it too much to get Jamie blacklisted?”

Gina replied. “Of course not. She is supposed to go to jail for what she had done. You are being more than merciful by allowing her to keep her freedom.”

Eased by Gina’s words, Clarissa looked at her and shrugged.

She then pursed her lips awkwardly.

“Let’s just go ahead with it. Any lesser would make it seem like I’m a pushover who can be easily bullied.”

Stretching her body, she put the matter behind her.

“Gina, did you want to tell me what her plan was yesterday? But, how did you know? You never share it with me.”

Yesterday, Gina only knew that Jamie had been in touch with Shermaine but wasn’t aware of what it was about. However, she had her suspicions and was already vigilant.

Therefore, when Clarissa met with Jamie yesterday, she dismissed Gina on purpose.

However, what she didn’t expect was for Jamie to abandon her at the crucial moment.

At that point in time, she was indeed unconscious but she had a recording pen ready in her pocket.

By the time she awoke, Gina had brought her home.

The pen recorded all of Jamie’s words and how she fled cowardly. It also captured the men’s disgusting comments and the sound of Gina beating all of them.

Clarissa didn’t sleep well the entire night as it was filled with frightening nightmares of her being harmed.

Therefore, she only waited till now to ask Gina about the matter.

“Mr. Tyson has men watching Shermaine. Hence, we are aware of her every move. She met Jamie once and it was during the night where they bumped into each other in the washroom.”

Clarissa was surprised. “During the time at the club?”

“Yes. She met Shermaine there but we weren’t sure what they discussed. Hence, we were already on our guard. Therefore, no matter what they talked about, we had to be careful. Just as expected, we caught them red-handed.”

Gina didn’t explain further but the conclusion was obvious.

“In that case, did we manage to find evidence of Shermaine trying to set me up? She is the real mastermind here.”

“We only have the phone recording but it isn’t enough to secure a conviction in court as she can still deny it. Moreover, the recording is not complete so she can still challenge it. In a nutshell, we don’t

have anything concrete now.”

“What about the men from last night?”

“They were hired by Jamie.”

Clarissa gritted her teeth. “Putting these aside, what about the car accident last time? That really put my life in danger. Can’t we do anything about it?”

“There’s no evidence.”

Therefore, am I just to sit and wait for her to come up with another dangerous scheme to harm me?

She is a blo*dy timebomb that can go off anytime and she is just relentless in trying to get rid of me.

She was also the architect of all my troubles. Therefore, am I resigned to being powerless against her attempts to harm me?

“Gina, don’t we have anything incriminating against her? Even if we can’t get her convicted, perhaps we can make things difficult for her.”

Gina raised her eyebrow. “We will let her have a taste of her own medicine.”

Clarissa gasped in realization as Gina added, “Mr. Tyson has given the orders and we will be executing them.”

“What did he tell you? Why don’t I know anything about it? And why didn’t he tell me?”

Gina remained silent and let out a rare mouth shrug.

Clarissa’s lips twitched. “Fine, if you’re not talking. I’ll go and ask him myself.”

With no intention of telling still, Gina nodded and left.

Clarissa gaped at how tight-lipped Gina was as she watch her walk away.

After that, Clarissa gave Matthew a call to ask him what he had ordered Gina to do.

“Nothing much. Clare, aren’t you supposed to take good care of yourself? Why are you making me worry?”

Clarissa was silent for a brief moment. “I am fine.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“I’ll be back very soon.”

“Don’t. I’m fine here. Come back only once you have dealt with your matters.”

“Hmm, don’t you miss me?”

Matthew raised his eyebrow as his gaze turned cold in a threatening manner.

It felt like if she said no, the frostiness he emitted would even permeate through the phone.

Clarissa pouted. “Of course, I miss you. How could I not?”

Having heard what he wanted, Matthew smiled in satisfaction. It made him look gentle and mesmerizing.

Clarissa smiled back in response. “But, are you finished with your business? Instead of returning and going back, why don’t you resolved everything in one go? You then don’t have to make two trips.”

Matthew chuckled. “Mmm-hmm. I know you’re reluctant to let me leave.”

Clarissa wrinkled her nose. “Hmph, I’m glad you know that.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll come back once I’m done.”

“Alright, I’ll be waiting for you to return home.”

Return home?

When he heard the words, Matthew felt his heart warm inexplicably. He felt the urge to embrace her and give her an affectionate cuddle.

“Alright, I’ll be back soon.”

As they were on a video call, Clarissa nodded in acquiescence before sending him a flying kiss. After that, she fell back on her bed in laughter and rolled in it. She then continued chatting with Matthew about happier events.

As for the sad incidents of the past, she had already forgotten about them.

On the day Matthew returned, Clarissa went to the airport to pick him up.

As she had arrived early, she found a seat in a cafe and scrolled through the news out of boredom.

Coincidentally, she saw a shocking headline.

Shemaine Smallwood’s reputation ruined. Actress exposed. Actress found to be a hypocrite.

In just a few minutes, the news was flooded with bad press over Shermaine.

Clarissa was utterly shocked as she read the details. It described how another actress that worked together with Shermaine in a lesser role was set up or harmed by her.

She revealed that Shermaine had disfigured her while they were filming together years ago, simply because she was well-liked and the director had praised her for her beauty. After recuperating at home

for many years, she still had to live with a scar on her face.

When she was breaking her story to the press, there were lots of other people who had equally damaging information on Shermaine to share.

They were members of film crews, Shermaine’s ex-classmates, friends, etc.

In a nutshell, all of Shermaine’s wrongdoings were exposed, including that of cheating men of their feelings.

There were many incidents and all of them were legit.

In a short while, Shermaine’s reputation was in tatters.

Many influential social media personalities, including Yaala and Yarick, liked and shared the articles that exposed Shermaine’s misdeeds.

It demonstrated that they too had a negative perception of Shermaine.

The impression she gave most people was typical of a famous actress. She would be cool and aloof. However, most people would comment that she was charming, acted like a diva, or was even nice. But no one expected her to be this vicious.

Especially when it came to disfiguring an actress just because she was pretty. That had gone against the grain of everyone’s moral fiber.

The disfigured actress had planned to make a police report but decided against it for fear of reprisals from Shermaine. However, her injury had caused her to lose her job and even suffer from depression over the last few years. Her family had to painstakingly go through a difficult period with her. Therefore,

she wasn’t going to let Shermaine off easily. Currently, the police had started their investigations and found the matter to be true. Hence, Shermaine was just waiting to be charged in court.

Regardless of whether Shermaine committed all those deeds, the tide of public opinion was against her. Some of her die-hard supporters were also badly ridiculed for trying to defend her.

The incident had inadvertently brought to light many of Shermaine’s other misdeeds.

Someone even highlighted that Shermaine was behind the smearing of Clarissa’s reputation when she was working with the drama crew, causing Clarissa to be violently disparaged online.

Tsk…

When Clarissa read through the exposé, she believed them to be true.

Is Shermaine finally getting a taste of being attacked viciously online?

However, the exposé quickly disappeared within minutes.

Clarissa figured that Shermaine must have done something to wipe them away. However, this served to further inflame the online reactions.

Not only were the netizens cursing Shermaine, they even berated the social media platforms for being manipulated by Shermaine’s patron given that they tried to censor the news. In a short moment, the outrage grew louder.

In just half an hour, the internet was set ablaze.

Just when she was reading intently, Clarissa’s phone was snatched from her hand. As she instinctively got up to grab it back, she fell into a warm and comforting embrace.

She was stunned for a moment before breaking into a smile. Raising her head, his handsome face came into her view while his familiar gaze fell upon her.

“Ah! You gave me a fright.”

Matthew smiled. “Isn’t it supposed to be a surprise?”

Clarissa laughed. “Alright, a surprise it is. I wanted to give you one actually.”

She didn’t expect him to find her first.

Matthew’s voice was deep and magnetic. “Mmm-hmm, to me, it’s still a surprise.”

There was no need to say anything further. Lowering his head, he kissed her on her lips and tasted what he had long missed.

However, as they were in public, Matthew just gave her a peck before letting her go reluctantly. Ignoring the gaze of others, he put his arms around her as they headed out.

The moment they got into the car, Matthew pressed against Clarissa and gave her a deep passionate kiss.

They kissed for a very long time before he was willing to let go of her.

As he gently brushed his fingers across her lips, his gaze deepened. Clarissa could recognize the lust that filled his eyes.

However, they were now still in the car.

Clarissa blushed and tried to distract him by saying something to break the awkward silence.

“Did you get someone to expose Shermaine online?”

Matthew’s gaze darkened at the thought of what Shermaine did. He couldn’t help but feel the urge to kill that woman.

Hence, exposing her and destroying her reputation was just the first step.
