Having ended the call, Clarissa didn’t feel much better either.
She had assumed the relationship she had with Jamie was a genuine one. But in reality, Jamie had betrayed her over a man and a female lead role.
Clarissa felt that she was too naive and ended up having her sincerity trampled.
Meanwhile, Gina entered the room and sat beside Clarissa. “I’ve given the orders. Mr. Tyson told you to go ahead with however you want to resolve this.”
Clarissa didn’t utter a word further as she hugged her knees, looking feeble.
“Gina, is it too much to get Jamie blacklisted?”
Gina replied. “Of course not. She is supposed to go to jail for what she had done. You are being more than merciful by allowing her to keep her freedom.”
Eased by Gina’s words, Clarissa looked at her and shrugged.
She then pursed her lips awkwardly.
“Let’s just go ahead with it. Any lesser would make it seem like I’m a pushover who can be easily bullied.”
Stretching her body, she put the matter behind her.
“Gina, did you want to tell me what her plan was yesterday? But, how did you know? You never share it with me.”
Yesterday, Gina only knew that Jamie had been in touch with Shermaine but wasn’t aware of what it was about. However, she had her suspicions and was already vigilant.
Therefore, when Clarissa met with Jamie yesterday, she dismissed Gina on purpose.
However, what she didn’t expect was for Jamie to abandon her at the crucial moment.
At that point in time, she was indeed unconscious but she had a recording pen ready in her pocket.
By the time she awoke, Gina had brought her home.
The pen recorded all of Jamie’s words and how she fled cowardly. It also captured the men’s disgusting comments and the sound of Gina beating all of them.
Clarissa didn’t sleep well the entire night as it was filled with frightening nightmares of her being harmed.
Therefore, she only waited till now to ask Gina about the matter.
“Mr. Tyson has men watching Shermaine. Hence, we are aware of her every move. She met Jamie once and it was during the night where they bumped into each other in the washroom.”
Clarissa was surprised. “During the time at the club?”
“Yes. She met Shermaine there but we weren’t sure what they discussed. Hence, we were already on our guard. Therefore, no matter what they talked about, we had to be careful. Just as expected, we caught them red-handed.”
Gina didn’t explain further but the conclusion was obvious.
“In that case, did we manage to find evidence of Shermaine trying to set me up? She is the real mastermind here.”
“We only have the phone recording but it isn’t enough to secure a conviction in court as she can still deny it. Moreover, the recording is not complete so she can still challenge it. In a nutshell, we don’t have anything concrete now.”
“What about the men from last night?”
“They were hired by Jamie.”
Clarissa gritted her teeth. “Putting these aside, what about the car accident last time? That really put my life in danger. Can’t we do anything about it?”
“There’s no evidence.”
Therefore, am I just to sit and wait for her to come up with another dangerous scheme to harm me?
She is a blo*dy timebomb that can go off anytime and she is just relentless in trying to get rid of me.
She was also the architect of all my troubles. Therefore, am I resigned to being powerless against her attempts to harm me?
“Gina, don’t we have anything incriminating against her? Even if we can’t get her convicted, perhaps we can make things difficult for her.”
Gina raised her eyebrow. “We will let her have a taste of her own medicine.”
Clarissa gasped in realization as Gina added, “Mr. Tyson has given the orders and we will be executing them.”
“What did he tell you? Why don’t I know anything about it? And why didn’t he tell me?”
Gina remained silent and let out a rare mouth shrug.
Clarissa’s lips twitched. “Fine, if you’re not talking. I’ll go and ask him myself.”
With no intention of telling still, Gina nodded and left.
Clarissa gaped at how tight-lipped Gina was as she watch her walk away.
After that, Clarissa gave Matthew a call to ask him what he had ordered Gina to do.
“Nothing much. Clare, aren’t you supposed to take good care of yourself? Why are you making me worry?”
Clarissa was silent for a brief moment. “I am fine.”
“I’ll be back very soon.”
“Don’t. I’m fine here. Come back only once you have dealt with your matters.”
“Hmm, don’t you miss me?”
Matthew raised his eyebrow as his gaze turned cold in a threatening manner.
It felt like if she said no, the frostiness he emitted would even permeate through the phone.
Clarissa pouted. “Of course, I miss you. How could I not?”
Having heard what he wanted, Matthew smiled in satisfaction. It made him look gentle and mesmerizing.
Clarissa smiled back in response. “But, are you finished with your business? Instead of returning and going back, why don’t you resolved everything in one go? You then don’t have to make two trips.”
