Shermaine did not rush to the Tyson residence after she was back in D City.
She had even informed Henry after making necessary arrangements at work. However, Henry was displeased with her act of letting others have the chance that should have been hers.
He knew he only had himself to blame for this. The woman had not harbored any intention of becoming an actress since day one. If it wasn’t for Matthew, he and Justin would not have helped her rise to her fame.
Great. Now she’s giving up on her career just because of Matthew. I should have known better.
Of course, Henry did not intend to stop her from going after the man of her dreams. He merely snickered at her futile attempt.
You will accomplish nothing. Girl, you’re just wasting your time.
However, he did not make his thoughts vocal.
After grounding herself at home for some time, the woman finally decided to do something.
She had gone out of her house after Clarissa’s scandal was all over the internet.
Of course, she was off to see Margaret.
Shermaine headed straight toward the Tyson residence. However, she did not expect that Sienna was there too.
The two love rivals were not pleased to see each other, to say the least. Shermaine had thought that Sienna would have given up after being hit last time. How dare she show up here?
Smiling, Shermaine said, “Ms. Grande, it’s been a while! I heard that you were injured. Are you alright? Oh, you look okay. It looks like the scar has faded after all.”
Sienna smiled in response. “Thank you for the concern, Ms. Smallwood. I’m good. How can I not be when you’re doing great?”
“Oh, why do you say so, Ms. Grande?”
“It just slipped off my tongue. Why so nervous, Ms. Smallwood?”
“Did I? You must have mistaken it. I have nothing to be nervous about. I’m just worried about you, Ms. Grande. You really have to be more careful in the future after this incident.”
“Oh, I’ll be sure to grab the bull by its thorn the next time it decides to strike again. I guess I have to be vicious in dealing with it. Otherwise, it’s just going to come back and bite me.”
“Haha…”
Shermaine cracked a dry laugh as a sense of trepidation washed over her.
The woman had picked up on Sienna’s glacial stare, and could not help but felt terrified. Shermaine shifted uncomfortably under the latter’s frosty gaze and turned her attention to Margaret instead.
“Mrs. Tyson, the weather has turned chilly these days. I know that you and Mr. Tyson have trouble with your legs because of the low temperature. I’ve specifically asked for my people to bring back some medicine from overseas…”
Sienna and Yuliana cast sideways glance at Shermaine as the latter was trying to butter up Margaret.
Yuliana had been suspecting that Shermaine was behind Sienna’s attack. She was flabbergasted as she listened to the exchange between the two women. Shermaine has the audacity to strike Yuliana. What a brazen woman.
Not only did she not know her place, but she had also even instructed for people to strike Sienna, to the extent of almost disfiguring her. She’s a vicious woman!
A frisson of annoyance fleeted across Yuliana’s face as she regarded Shermaine. The Tysons will be in chaos if this woman becomes my sister-in-law.
Meanwhile, Margaret was grinning ear to ear from Shermaine’s gentle and considerate manners.
The latter had unconsciously steered the topic in Clarissa’s direction.
“I know this Clarissa, and I’d even starred in a few of the TV dramas and movies that she had written. She was really popular a while back. That was how Justin had noticed her and decided to use her script for a new movie. She really was quite close to Justin. For a while, I thought she was a decent girl. I didn’t expect that she’d go off in the wrong route after she had become famous. I heard that those who were caught red-handed in the party were taking drugs and messing around. What a shame… I thought she had known better.”
“Clarissa? That name rings a bell.”
Margaret was only thinking that the name sounded familiar, but Yuliana and Sienna had already figured out who she was.
Sienna was surprised to find out that Clarissa was actually both a screenwriter and an author.
Having said that, she thought it was best to keep mum about her realization.
“You’re talking about Clarissa Quigley, right?” Yuliana asked.
“What?” Margaret was shocked.
She was already not particularly fond of the girl and was even disdained now that she knew that the girl was taking drugs.
What kind of girl is she? She’s even messing around with men?
I knew it. She’s just a bimbo who uses deceit and trickery to get what she wants.
Margaret scorned at the thought of Clarissa, albeit keeping mum because Sienna was there too. However, there was no mistaking that the old woman was irked.
