Chapter 263 You’re Pretty Good At Two-timing Us Clarissa was stunned.
He didn’t have the right to meddle with her life decisions. If she pursued her studies overseas,
she could never work at New East Corporation next year. Clarissa’s hands, which were holding on to the cutlery, were trembling profusely at the thought.
“I’m not working there!”
Damien didn’t utter a single word. It was as if he was indicating that the matter wasn’t up to Clarissa to decide.
Clarissa was so angry that her stomach hurt. She couldn’t bring herself to enjoy breakfast anymore.
She glanced in the direction of the side table and saw the pendant on the floor. Then, she knelt down to pick it up.
The cross had already been broken into pieces.
She tried to kneel down, but she couldn’t. The more she tried to do it, the more agitated she became. She kept trying to pick up, her face flushed red from exhaustion.
Clarissa didn’t want to argue with Damien anymore, because she knew that she wouldn’t win the fight no matter what.
Damien, who was sitting on the sofa, watched her in silence. Then, he stood up, picked up the pendant, and placed it on the dining table.
Clarissa returned to the dining table to enjoy her meal in silence.

Suddenly, somebody was knocking on the door. Damien answered it, only to see Joseph at his doorstep. He didn’t say anything and returned to the sofa again. “Clarissa?” Joseph called out to her.
“Yes, I’m here.” Since she couldn’t release her pent-up anger just now, she wanted to vent to Joseph, “We can talk in my room.”
“You guys can talk here,” Damien spat coldly.
Joseph was worried that Damien might make things even more difficult for Clarissa if he didn’t do as told, So, he obliged and sat just opposite her.
Instantly, his attention was drawn to the pendant, which was already in pieces.
He had spent around 100k on the pendant. Worried that Clarrisa wouldn’t accept it, he had lied to her about getting it for free at the church.
After all, Clarissa wouldn’t even accept the necklace le gave her as a lucky charm. After her final examination, she returned it to him.
“What happened?” Joseph asked.

Clarissa found his question to be very awkward. After all, she had received it just yesterday. “I almost fell from the bathtub yesterday, and accidentally broke it.”
“Are you okay?” Joseph grabbed Clarissa’s hand immediately.
Feeling even more awkward, she snuck a discreet glance at Damien. Although he was still reading his book, he could still see what they were up to from the corner of his eyes,
Clarissa thought that Damien was being bolder and bolder with his actions day by day. In the past, Damien wouldn’t dare to make things difficult for Clarissa, especially after all the things that happened. From their divorce to Theresa’s death and Clarissa’s pregnancy, Damien was responsible for almost all of it. But ever since he slept with Clarissa that night, he became less reserved and much more domineering,
Without realizing it, Damien had turned into his past unscrupulous and cruel self.
“Why is your wrist bruised?” Joseph asked.
