“Engaged? What engagement?” Clarissa was completely lost. She had been too busy for the past few days in Lotharia, so she had had no time to check on gossip.
“Clarissa, what kind of fool do you think I am? You were hugging and kissing him in plain sight! You even did the same all the way in Lotharia. How does it feel to have one man here and another in Lotharia? You can have fun over there when you’re bored with me here. How dare you use your mother as an excuse!”
Clarissa was stunned. No wonder Damien hadn’t gone with her. But even though he hadn’t, he still sent people to watch her.
That meant that Damien knew all about what she had done in Lotharia.
Of course, Clarissa wasn’t so bold that she didn’t feel bad about her actions. She had done the crime, and she had been found out. She could admit to it.
She didn’t question why Damien had sent someone to tail her, as she was not in a place to do so.
Until now, she still thought that Damien getting married was just a trick.
“Enough. From today onward, you’re no one to me but my son’s mother,” Damien announced. “You can go back and live on campus.”
Clarissa raised her head, her eyes wide, and stared numbly at him.
“You don’t believe that I’ve gotten married?” After saying this, Damien took a marriage certificate from a box under the TV set and threw it onto the coffee table.
Damien knew Clarissa wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between a fake marriage certificate and a real one. After all, Clarissa wasn’t his grandfather. Besides, he was certain she had no capacity to make such a distinction in such a situation.
Clarissa glared at the certificate and bit her lower lip hard. Her face was pale, her mind blank. Although she had a lot to say to Damien, she couldn’t utter a single word.
She had wanted to ask what it was that she had done badly, to ask what had happened, that Damien had done such an unimaginable thing…
But when she saw the marriage certificate, Clarissa thought that nothing mattered anymore.
She still couldn’t accept the truth of what had happened.
“Where’s Neil? If she’s done anything to him, I’ll kill her!” Clarissa felt wronged and enraged.
She didn’t know why Damien had suddenly become so ruthless. Her departure this time had been approved by him, even.
Besides, she hadn’t even been gone for a week.
