You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 242

Everybody knew about Matthew having a fiancée. Though it was unknown whether the Tyson family would approve of that, Matthew had acknowledged it and thus it made her his fiancée officially.

However, knowing was one thing, and seeing it was another.

Several renowned people from the business world, government officials, and upper classes attended that evening’s business reception.

It was an annual event. As Matthew was not fond of socializing, he used to come alone, and after a casual appearance, he would often stay a short time before leaving.

However, no one expected that this year he not only appeared but also brought a fiancée with him.

Additionally, everyone was stunned by that fiancée of his as well.

People couldn’t resist admiring Clarissa when they saw her. It was no wonder that she was able to outshine so many women to become Matthew’s wife as she was more beautiful than them solely based on her looks.

Of course, not everyone was superficial, but beautiful women were always attractive to men.

Physical attraction was a prerequisite for further development of the relationship, right?

She did seem like a decent young woman on the surface. With her sincere smile, bright eyes, and relaxed attitude, she appeared calm, elegant, and confident.

However, those were just appearances.

Prior to her arrival, Clarissa was acting rather ambitious and bragged about her confidence; however, feeling all eyes on her when she entered the venue, she couldn’t help but feel nervous.

Perhaps she has a foundation in acting, hence she was able to put on a composed front without looking how she feels.

Only Matthew, who was holding her hand, could know that she was feeling nervous from within.

“Relax…”

Matthew whispered as he turned his head to look at her who was standing beside him. Seeing how she was plastering a smile on her face made him concerned for her. Wouldn’t her cheeks stiffen from smiling like that?

He gave her fingers a tight squeeze and tugged on her palm to signal that she should relax. She couldn’t help but turn to face him and he smiled at her.

In such an event, it was difficult to relax.

Her previous ignorance and fearlessness left her speechless as she spat in her heart.

Since I’m already here, I can’t make a fool of myself or I’ll embarrass Matthew.

Clarissa returned a smile at Matthew, leaned her body closer to him, and squeezed his arm with her fingers.

“Were you also as considerate to your female companions in such events previously?”

It was not only an attempt to find fault; Clarissa made this remark to divert her own attention too.

Matthew’s eyes were filled with laughter as he replied, ”Clare, I used to show up alone.”

“Tsk, why do I not believe that?”

“You can ask Donnie. Even if I had appeared with a companion before, it would be none other than Donnie.”

Imagining Matthew and Donnie being inseparable before she appeared sent chills down Clarissa’s spine.

“Hehe… I believe you.”

When Matthew heard that, he raised an eyebrow, thinking she meant something else by it. Clarissa, on the other hand, smiled at him innocently.

I wonder what this naughty girl is thinking.

“Oh, I see an acquaintance,” Clarissa suddenly exclaimed. Matthew had a strong feeling that her tone did not indicate something positive, and it sounded like she was somewhat gloating.

Following her gaze, Matthew spotted Sienna, the so-called “acquaintance”.

Matthew reached out and tapped the tip of Clarissa’s nose lightly as he said, “Mischievous.”

Clarissa’s cheeks slightly reddened as she chuckled. After that, she felt slightly embarrassed after realizing that people were staring at them as they were shocked to see how close Matthew was to his fiancée.

In addition to being shocked, Sienna also suffered a heavy blow to her ego after discovering Matthew had such a side.

In addition to being surprised, she was also thrilled and envious.

However, she did not take the initiative to greet Matthew as several people at the event knew that she had a blind date with Matthew. Now that Matthew was accompanied by his fiancée, they might even be eyeing her in hopes of a good show.

Clarissa met a lot of people and received a lot of compliments at the reception. She stood quietly next to Matthew the entire time, not making a scene or showing off. She also didn’t want to attract much attention from others to avoid getting into trouble.

Furthermore, it was a good opportunity for her to collect information by secretly observing the scene and people at the reception. She planned to save it as material for her articles later on.

As she smiled, she also imagined campy plots, such as someone being drugged or splashed in the face with wine…

As she was letting her imagination run wild, she heard a scream, then followed by a loud slap.

Smack!

Clarissa was shocked, and everyone looked over at the same time.
