Chapter 353 Are You a Good Girl? Penelope was an intelligent socialite. Not only did she have the brains, but her endurance was also pretty high. She was clear on what she wanted from the start. Hence, she also knew very well that there were certain paths that she must take in order to achieve her goals.
Penelope knew very well the reason Clarissa wanted her to join Joseph’s firm; Clarissa was already pregnant, so she knew she would never be with Joseph. At the same time, she was afraid that Damien might suspect her being involved with Joseph, so she introduced Penelope to Great West. Clarissa also thought that Joseph and Penelope would fall in love with each other over time, thus resolving her problem. Meanwhile, Penelope joining Joseph’s firm also fit Damien’s agenda. Thus, he would no longer snatch her deals from her in the future
That was the reason Penelope dragged Joseph to visit Clarissa
In a way, she was proclaiming her stance to Damien
On the other hand, Joseph was here because he was infuriated. Since Clarissa was adamant on introducing a new woman into his life, he accepted that woman as his girlfriend, so now he was here to show that off. He wanted to see what else Clarissa would do once she saw them together
“How are things in Great West?” Clarissa asked both Penelope and Joseph.
“Everything’s fine. Great West is the best accounting firm, after all. Now that Joseph and I are partners, things will continue to be better from here on out,” Penelope replied, shooting Joseph a look
Those two looked like they were putting on an act in front of everyone
“Oh. That’s nice,” Clarissa replied.
“Anyway, thank you so much, Clarissa! I specifically bought this pearl necklace for you. I’m so sorry for what I’ve done to you in the past. Now that you gave birth to your baby, you look prettier and more charining.” Once she was done speaking, Penelope took out a beautiful and delicate pearl necklace before putting it around Clarissa’s neck
Truthfully speaking, Clarissa’s visage brightened up the moment the pearl necklace was slung around her neck. She was already fair in the first place, so she started radiating beautifully the moment the pearl necklace was added to her appearance.
“You look gorgeous in it, Clarissa! Don’t ever take it off,” Penelope praised
“Sure,” Clarissa replied. She didn’t make any move to take the necklace ofl.
“Then, I’ll be leaving first,” Penelope said to Damien
“Alright.”
“What are you going to do with this necklace?” Damien asked with a smile
“It’s a secret. I won’t feel safe if it remains at home,” Clarissa answered.
An idea had already popped into her head. She planned to deliver this necklace to Connie.
On the previous New Year, Clarissa received a teddy bear together with a bouquet of red roses. She had a feeling that Connie was the sender Connie probably intended to start a conflict between Clarissa and Damien back then. After that, Connie kidnapped Clarissa in order to force her to sign the divorce agreement papers. There was more. Not only did Connie refuse to save their grandinother, but she also single-handedly caused Clarissa to go into premature labor, which led to Ash’s death in her womb. In other words, if it wasn’t for the premature labor, Ash would still be alive.
These were the major crimes Connie had carried out. Clarissa was certain Connie had more minor crimes under her belt
Clarissa had yet to tell Damien about Connie being the culprit behind Ash’s death. At first, her physical condition prevented her from saying anything After she made a full recovery, she thought long and hard about it. If she told Damien the truth, there was a chance that he would deal with Connie the same way he had dealt with Nicole
Clarissa didn’t want Connie to face the same fate. First of all, Connie was still her relative Not to mention, they shared a good relationship in the past. Based on that fact alone, Clarissa didn’t want to humiliate Connie. Secondly, Clarissa wanted to personally deal with Connie
