Love in Twilight novel (Clarissa and Damien) novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142 Don’t Cause Trouble

On Sunday morning, Damien told Clarissa that he would be going out on a meeting with a client to discuss the issues of a potential project.

“Okay.” This was the first time Damien told Clarissa his personal schedule.

Around noon, Mrs. Faber went out to buy some groceries. Madelynn dropped by the villa at that time.

Clarissa frowned slightly. Nonetheless, she kept her guard up.

“He’s gone to a meeting with his client. Something about a project,” Clarissa said to Madelynn, since she knew the latter was here to look for Damien.

“Oh, is that so? I’ll call him later.”

“Didn’t you call him in advance?” Clarissa didn’t want to seem rude by kicking Madelynn out of the mansion straight away, so she had no choice but to talk to Madelynn.

“What about Grandpa Lawrence? I’ll go say hi” Madelynn continued. “He only takes his daily nap after lunch, after all.”

‘Why would Madelynn go to Grandpa’s room?’

Suspicious, Clarissa decided to go after Madelynn.

Madelynn happened to be clutching a customized Betaloc pill. The medicine contained within that capsule was three times more potent than an ordinary Betaloc pill.

Meanwhile, Grandpa Lawrence was looking for a book at the bookshelf with his reading glasses on.

“Grandpa Lawrence,” Madelyn greeted. “Good morning!”

Grandpa Lawrence turned around and noticed Madelynn. “Ah, you’re here. Why don’t you go spend time with Clarissa outside? Damien has gone out for the day.”

“Alright. I’m just here to say hi. I’ll be leaving now.”

“Okay. Hmm… I was looking for a book on international business laws, wasn’t I? Why can’t I find it?” Grandpa Lawrence mumbled to himself as he continued searching for the missing book.

Madelynn quietly slipped the pill into Grandpa Lawrence’s pill bottle when he wasn’t paying her any attention.

At that time, Clarissa entered the room. She admonished Madelynn, “Come out now. Don’t disturb Grandpa any longer.”

Madelynn was furious. ‘How am I disturbing Grandpa Lawrence? I’m just entering his room!’

“I’ll be leaving now since Damien isn’t here. I’ll give him a call on the way back,” Madelynn announced in a ‘this is my business with Damien, so you can f*ck off’ tone while she strode haughtily to the living room.

About half an hour after Madelynn left, Clarissa could hear a scuffle from Grandpa Lawrence’s

room.

She ran into his room quickly and noticed him leaning against the bed while trying to get up. His complexion was awfully pale, and he was clutching at his chest desperately.

“Grandpa, what happened? What’s wrong?”! Clarissa quickly helped the elderly man up before dialing 911.
