“May you have a wonderful night of making babies?” said Matthew in an amused tone while he raised his brows.
Clarissa’s face felt hot, and her ears were slowly turning red as well. She quickly locked her phone and instructed in an embarrassed tone, “You’re not allowed to peek!”
Matthew grinned and replied innocently, “Why can’t I read it? This is a wonderful blessing. Besides, how will I make this blessing come true if I am not made aware of it?”
So he wants to make a baby now?
Clarissa frowned. This man has always known which words to pay attention to. I am not going to be manipulated. Not this time!
Clarissa turned around while in Matthew’s arms. Her tiny hand clutched his collar as she interrogated, “I haven’t even started questioning you about it. I don’t even know what my readers are talking about. What is going on? Why did Tyson Corporation officially declare that I am your fiancée? Is this why you didn’t clock in at work today? Did you stay here to keep me from finding out? Why did you publicize the matter suddenly? You even went as far as telling everyone my social media account!”
Clarissa didn’t need to analyze any further to know that things were not as simple as they seemed.
He must have an ulterior motive for doing something like that. Clarissa could tell that was the secret Matthew wanted to keep from her that day.
She hadn’t gotten the chance to read the messages from her fans and readers, so she didn’t know what was going on just yet.
Matthew turned quiet. He rested his huge palm on the lady’s head before answering in his deep yet sweet tone, “Clare, the reason behind this is not important.”
“So something did happen. Is it bad? Did you disclose our relationship to protect me?”
Clarissa guessed right that time.
Matthew averted his gaze, but he ultimately confessed, “Something did happen, but it’s all over now.”
“No matter what it is, I want to know if it involves me. I’m no longer the woman who can’t handle cyberbullying. I survived through the time when everyone accused me without having any evidence, remember? Besides, I have you backing me up now, so I’m not afraid. Tell me.”
Matthew kissed the lady’s forehead compassionately before telling her everything.
Clarissa didn’t get to digest what she heard before her phone rang.
It was Hilary.
Clarissa deliberated. She was certain that Hilary was only calling about the incident, and Clarissa was sure that she would not be interested in whatever Hilary had to say.
Hence, the former declined the call and ignored Hilary completely. She definitely wasn’t going to entertain anyone else, either.
At that moment, all she wanted to do was to hold Matthew peacefully.
Clarissa rested in Matthew’s embrace for a while before she said, “In other words, all everyone else knows is that Matthew Tyson’s fiancée is @clarissa.quigley. No one really knows who owns that account aside from a few individuals who had inside information. My personal identity is not really revealed under those circumstances, because not many knew that I am @clarissa.quigley.”
“Yeah, plus, I already got my people to take the photos and articles down, so they should stop trending soon.”
Matthew also had Tyson Corporation’s team of lawyers on standby. They would mercilessly sue anyone who tried to make any more noise.
After hearing all that, Clarissa went on Twitter to check things out. It was quiet.
She then went back to the chat windows. That was when she realized that Matthew kept one last thing a secret from her. So his team of lawyers has been firing legal letters like they were brochures. They’re still punishing the people who spread the rumor and insults.
That gesture was why the readers were delighted with the renowned Mr. Tyson. They might even love Matthew more than they did Clarissa.
They even ganged up to ask Clarissa to send their regards and love to Mr. Tyson. Their blessings and praises were so cheeky that Clarissa couldn’t resist giggling. She showed Matthew her phone, which prompted him to take over and personally reply to her fans.
“Thank you for your love and admiration, but I’m with Clare and will not be able to reciprocate your love.”
“Ah!”
“OMG!”
“Mr. Tyson?”
“Mr. Tyson?”
The chatroom blew up instantly. Everyone was so excited that they even thought that their typing speed was too slow. Everyone pitched in and chatted endlessly.
Matthew seemed to have taken a liking to it. He even sent them a voice recording.
However, a few words using his deep, cool tone got the crowd even more riled up.
Some even claimed that they had saved a copy of that recording and would treasure it until the day they died. They also said that they would spend the rest of their lives attached to the group chat and would never leave it. They would support Clarissa forever.
Clarissa felt a little annoyed about that. “They are my most loyal fans, but now, it seems like they are not loyal enough,” grumbled Clarissa, “All it took is a few words from you to get them so excited. I’m so jealous.”
Matthew chuckled and asked, “Who are you jealous of? Them? I’m only interacting with them for your sake. I’m making them envious of how lucky you are to have such an incredible man.”
“You’re such a narcissist.”
Clarissa grinned before rolling her eyes at Matthew. He’s actually right, though. He is a pretty amazing guy.
Still, the important point is not how the chatroom is going wild. The photo incident happened, and someone has to be behind it.
Does Shermaine have anything to do with it?
Clarissa voiced out her concern before she added, “Isn’t she under our surveillance? Why are we unaware of what she had her people do?”
