You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 197

Clarissa let out a sigh; she knew she couldn’t bring herself to send Mimi to jail.

Her anger soon dissipated, and she felt much better when Matthew comforted her with his kisses.

In the end, she made up her mind to cut ties with Mimi. It would be best if she could get back the money she lent to Mimi. However, if Mimi refused to pay her debt, she would take it as her spending money on a valuable lesson.

On the other hand, Mimi was finally bailed out of custody. Luckily, she didn’t take drugs. Or else, even the best lawyer couldn’t get her out of the lock-up.

As for the others in the party, they were not as lucky as her.

Instead of reflecting on herself, her mind was occupied by the thought that the man, whom they once thought was a kept man, was actually rich.

That night, she called her parents as soon as she was back at the hotel. After making a whole lot of complaints about Clarissa, she told them Matthew being a rich guy.

Both Gloria and Jacob were shocked and surprised by the news.

“Mimi, since that kept man, I mean, Mr. Tyson is rich, then why are you still staying in the hotel? You should go and live with Clarissa. Ask her to get that man to rent a better place for you, or even buy you a new house. I heard those from D City are all wealthy. This man must come from a prominent family since he could afford to hire a chauffeur. I believe you can find a sugar daddy when even Clarissa could find herself one. Let Mr. Tyson introduce a rich man to you. Oh, Mimi, there’s no need for you to go to school or become a celebrity. You can live a good life if you get to marry into a prominent family.”

“Mom, you’re right! But the problem is, I don’t even know where Clarissa lives, and she is wary of me. Besides, we all know she won’t help me.”

“We are her only family, and you’re her cousin. She will need to do you this favor if she still regards us as her family. Don’t worry. I’ll ask your grandma about her address. If she refuses to tell us, I will send her to D City. We can then find out about Clarissa’s address when she takes her grandma in.”

“Will my grandma listen to you?” asked Mimi.

Gloria knew Catherine had always disliked her, yet she would do whatever it took for her daughter.

“She has no choice but to listen to me. Perhaps you can try and find Clarissa first. If you can’t find her, then only will I ask your grandma about her address.”

“Alright then.”

After hanging up, Mimi recalled the time when she met Matthew in the past. Oh, how could I mistake such a handsome and distinguished man as a kept man? Ugh! It’s all Clarissa’s fault!

Her heart fluttered when she recalled his overbearing aura when his subordinates and the police treated him with respect. Oh, he’s just so handsome! Every aspect of him resembles the domineering president in a romance novel. It’s a pity that this man belongs to Clarissa.

Feeling displeased, she gave Clarissa a call. This time, the call didn’t even get through. Ugh! She must have blocked my number! Hmph! I must find out where she lives!

Then, she once again called her parents.

…

After a good night’s sleep, Clarissa woke up feeling calm and refreshed.

She went downstairs and found Matthew speaking over the phone. Her heart dropped at the sight of the gloomy expression on the man’s face.

As soon as Matthew noticed her, he hastily gave an order, “Okay. Settle it immediately.” After hanging up, he feigned a smile as he pulled her in his arms, pecking her on the lips. “You’re awake? Why did you wake up so early today?”

Clarissa looked quizzically at the man. “Has something happened?”

“It’s no biggie.”

With a serious look on her face, Clarissa fixed her eyes on him. ”That means something has really happened, huh?”

Since it was unlikely that he could hide the news from her anyway, he told her, “Today, someone exposed the news of the celebrities taking drugs yesterday.

“This has nothing to do with us, but the news indirectly hinted that you were involved in the drug-fueled party, attracting many doubts and criticisms from the public. I’ve asked Donnie to settle it, so don’t you worry about it.”

Clarissa furrowed her brows at his words. She was once a victim of cyber-bullying, and she knew how horrible it could be.

She fished out her phone and clicked on Twitter. As expected, the home page was flooded with comments.

Her account was bombarded with countless tweets: Apart from the celebrities and models, the screenwriter, @clarissa.quigley, was also present at the drug-fueled party. She was bailed out because she has a strong background.

Anyhow, some believed in it while some didn’t. Before this, she had gained in popularity as a screenwriter who worked with Director Yates. Now, someone was trying to drag her down by falsely accusing her of getting away from the law.

Regardless of the truth, the news had created a bad impression about her. It had misled the public into thinking that she must have something to do with drugs.

The public would not tolerate anyone in the entertainment industry who was involved in a drug scandal. With a tainted reputation, it would be the end of her career!

Clarissa’s face turned pale in an instant. Unlike the previous sex scandal in which she was accused of sleeping her way into fame, this time, someone was trying to ruin her with a drug scandal.
