You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 185

Even though Clarissa felt a little unpleasant inside, she obeyed Matthew and stayed indoors in Zen Highlands.

She didn’t feel like going out anyway, but that didn’t mean that other people did not invite her out.

All of a sudden, she received a phone call from Mimi saying that she was coming to D City for her studies. In the past, Mimi had mentioned that she planned to come to D City, but Clarissa didn’t expect it to be true.

Moreover, Mimi sounded rather self-entitled during the call. “Clare, you said you would take care of me and let me stay in your place when I come to D City.”

“When did I promise you that? I only said that I would arrange accommodation for you in a hotel,” Clarissa answered unpleasantly.

Knowing how shameless Mimi could be, she made sure not to be too nice or accommodating. Otherwise, Mimi would walk all over her.

Clarissa had told her off before in the past, but it wasn’t long before her arrogant attitude surfaced again.

Mimi expected that she would react this way, so she chuckled and said, “Clare, do you not care about me? I’m almost like your younger sister.”

“Don’t you have classmates? Wouldn’t it be better to live with other students so you can focus on your studies?” Clarissa retorted.

“Clarissa Quigley, let me get this clear with you. All I have to do is say a few things about you on the Internet, and your reputation will be ruined,” Mimi threatened her.

Clarissa frowned, but she wasn’t surprised at all.

There were tons of books published in Clarissa’s name, so it wasn’t difficult for Mimi to guess that she was a famous writer.

When Mimi didn’t hear an answer from Clarissa, she snorted and said, “Haha… Clare, I just want to stay with you alright! Come pick me up from the airport and let me stay with you. I won’t bother you much, you’ll see.”

Just like that, she hung up the phone.

After the call ended, Clarissa let out a sigh. She worried that Mimi would actually carry out her threats given that she was someone with no principles.

She decided to give Matthew a call to tell him about Mimi.

“Should I go and pick her up? And let her stay in that apartment?” she said.

“No need. I’ll get someone to deal with this matter,” Matthew answered.

“Huh? How are you going to handle this matter? You better not let her play any tricks on you. The last time she saw you, she——” Clarissa was cut off before she could finish speaking.

“Don’t worry about this, Clare. Just let me handle it, alright? You don’t have to make yourself unhappy by meeting her. I’ll just get someone to handle her. Don’t worry,” Matthew interjected.

Clarissa placed her trust in him and decided not to worry further about the matter.

That night, Mimi gave Clarissa a call and grumbled, “What kind of shabby place did you arrange for me to stay? Did you spend all your money on your little pretty face? You must be doing this on purpose. I’m warning you, I will spread the news about how malicious you are.”

Just as Clarissa was about to respond, Matthew took the phone from her and said, “If you want to tarnish Clare’s reputation, just go ahead and do so. But you can forget about going to the film academy too. Remember those pictures of you with that guy…?”

“Ah… you despicable faggot!” Mimi cursed at him.

Matthew hung up on her that instant. It was obvious that he wasn’t afraid of Mimi’s threats.

Meanwhile, Clarissa stared at him in surprise as she said, “Did you just hang up on her? What pictures were you referring to? Who’s that guy?”

Matthew touched her face gently, his lips twitched as he explained, “She had a boyfriend named Eric back in W City. He was a troublemaker, and they took some intimate pictures together.”

“Huh?? She’s only eighteen years old. How can——” Mimi was clearly angry, but she was also disappointed in Mimi.

“Just leave her alone. It was her own choice, and she did it for money,” Matthew replied.

Clarissa furrowed her brows. “I should have expected this. Mimi is a vain and short-sighted person, just like my aunt. She would steal for the sake of maintaining her appearance, so I’m not surprised that she would sell her own body for some quick cash. One day she will regret her actions,” she said in disappointment.

“Do you actually think she’s capable of regret? I don’t think so,” Matthew said sarcastically.

Clarissa then let out a sigh and said, “You’re probably right. I just can’t understand what goes on in her mind.”
