You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 174

Matthew was the one who took the lead.

They parted ways after getting off from work.

Clarissa returned to Zen Highlands alone, while Matthew went to meet Matthias and Yuliana.

She felt it would bore her to death if she was to eat by herself, so she contacted Ellie when she was on the way home and went to the restaurant they agreed to meet.

They reached the restaurant rather late and saw Yvonne and Luke.

Clarissa raised a brow at the sight of Yvonne clinging to Luke. She has a fiancé, but she’s cheating on him. Is she not worried that Mason will know?

Both of them saw Clarissa, while Yvonne’s expression was unsightly as she was anxious about being caught cheating. Nonetheless, Clarissa pretended to not see them and held Ellie’s arm while walking away, as this had nothing to do with her.

“Wait, Clarissa,” Yvonne said, while Ellie smirked and beckoned at Clarissa as if she was saying “See, I guessed it correctly.”

Ellie whispered, “They will surely ask you to keep it a secret.”

Clarissa didn’t give Yvonne any response. When she turned around, she saw Yvonne in front of them, while Luke was standing nearby. He wore a wicked smiled and sized up Clarissa.

Disgusted with the way he smiled, Clarissa frowned, trying to neglect him, and turned to look at Yvonne.

She didn’t wait for Yvonne to say anything, as she wanted to leave as soon as possible. “I don’t have time to mind your business, so we didn’t meet tonight, and I didn’t know who’s with you. Rest assured.”

Having her words spoken by others, Yvonne fell silent, as she felt awkward.

Clarissa remained expressionless, but Luke’s gaze was fixated on her beautiful features.

Yvonne didn’t understand why Luke didn’t lay his hand on Clarissa and was jealous of how the man was eyeing the latter.

At the same time, Clarissa was calm, and this made Yvonne felt annoyed.

Suddenly, her expression turned dark, and she scolded, “What do you mean by that? Are you assuming I’m doing some shady business with Mr. Harrison? My family has business cooperation with him, so there’s nothing wrong with having a meal together. Clarissa, are you slandering us on purpose? Who do you think you are?”

Clarissa was taken aback by Yvonne twisting the facts.

Opening her mouth, she didn’t know what to say, while Ellie snickered, “So what if it was on purpose? I’ll tell your fiancé you’re cheating on him. Let’s see if he trusts you enough to dismiss my words as lies.”

Yvonne had met Ellie before, and she knew she shouldn’t offend the latter.

That is why Yvonne could only suppress her anger when Ellie defended Clarissa. “Ms. Tyson, don’t think that you can bully others because you have a powerful family background. There’s nothing between me and Mr. Harrison, so save your false accusations.”

Ellie folded her arms and smirked. “Haha! I do what I want, and even if there’s really nothing between you guys, I can make it so that it becomes the opposite. Wanna try?”

Gritting her teeth, Yvonne was harboring hatred toward Ellie, but she didn’t dare to express it.

From the beginning until now, Luke was only there as a spectator and he didn’t even help Yvonne when she was at a disadvantage.

When Clarissa and Ellie walked away, Yvonne paced toward Luke and whined, “Luke, why didn’t you defend me? I was bullied by them. Boohoo…”

As cringeworthy as she looked when she whined to Luke, she looked way worse when she lost her temper in secret.

Luke felt nothing from the woman’s actions, and he smiled coldly. “Didn’t you hear what Ms. Tyson said? If you anger her, she’ll expose us to your fiancé and you’ll suffer. I’m worried you’ll suffer if our relationship was exposed.”

He’s worried about me?

Listening to his sugarcoated words, Yvonne hugged him happily and said, “I know you care for me.”

She was easily fooled by the man she loved. Well, love makes people blind, and Yvonne wasn’t intelligent, to begin with.

In the meantime, when Clarissa and Ellie sat at their table, the latter couldn’t help but argue with her. “Clare, why not fight back when people bully you? Did you use all of your courage and temper on Uncle Matt?”

Clarissa’s lips twitched when she heard Ellie’s words. “That’s not it. It’s meaningless to fight with her.”

Ellie asked, “Then what is meaningful to you?”

“I just don’t want to stoop to the same level as her,” Clarissa explained.

Ellie glanced at her. “It seems you’re only a tyrant at home.”
