You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 273

Actress Verona Seldon remembered who Clarissa was since she met her three years ago.

Not only was Clarissa young and beautiful, but she was also talented, and Verona adored her.

In fact, she was actually jealous of Clarissa. Verona believed she would become more popular than Clarissa as she was younger and prettier.

And she was confident that she would secure the role in the film as no one would play that role better than her.

During casting, the assistant director said that role fitted her like a glove. Even her manager was confident no one could snatch the role from her.

Yet, the production crew eventually dropped her after Clarissa had a chat with the director.

The assistant director later told her manager that the screenwriter thought Verona was not the best candidate for the role.

That was why Verona had borne a grudge against Clarissa since then.

After entering the entertainment industry, Verona had to work extra hard to survive in the industry. Yet, Clarissa easily enjoyed all the fame because of her rumors and had benefitted from the fact that she and Matthew were engaged.

Therefore, Verona’s jealousy toward Clarissa continued to grow.

Just when Verona thought she might not be able to avenge herself, she learned that the Tysons had kicked Clarissa out of the house. That was great! Serve her right!

The only reason Verona bore grudges against Clarissa to this day was that the former was a petty person who refused to move on.

Clarissa had not made a lot of public appearances in the last three years, even though she had won many awards and was becoming more popular. Verona thought that Clarissa must have stayed away from the limelight because she was too embarrassed to face the public.

This was why Verona was surprised to see Clarissa at the auction tonight.

Without a doubt, Clarissa was the star of the night.

This annual mega charity dinner was a prestigious event, which only extended its invitation to A-listers in the entertainment industry. Verona was able to make the list this year only because of her popularity. How did Clarissa, who is a mere screenwriter, earned her spot here? It looks like many of the male guests here have shown interest in her too.

Verona wanted to be the center of attention in the event. That was why she put herself up for a celebrity date auction. Unfortunately, Clarissa had once again stolen her thunder.

Verona’s pent-up anger became even more palpable, and she began to wonder if Clarissa did it to provoke her.

On the other hand, Clarissa thought Verona was mad at her for not offering her the role. She did not know what was going through Verona’s mind at all.

Anyone would be easily offended by the remark Verona made, but not Clarissa.

Clarissa responded with a calm smile, ignored her, and continued talking to Yaala.

Though Verona was not exactly an A-lister, she had risen to fame in recent years, and everyone would care for her feelings and would not dare to offend her. Upon seeing how Clarissa gave her the cold shoulder, Verona was hopping mad.

How dare she snub me? She’s just a screenwriter! Does she really think all the men here find her attractive? She’s nothing but an old hag! With her beauty and capability, Verona believed she had the upper hand here.

Instead of leaving, she stood still and took a sidelong glance at Clarissa. “Did you just ignore me, Ms. Quigley? Do you really still think you’re married into an affluent family?”

“I know that you’ve fallen from grace, and you’re embarrassed about your past, but you’ll still have to accept the reality,” Verona continued to sneer, “I feel sorry for you for pretending to be all high and mighty. Since you’re still young, I think you should move on and accept the fact that there’d always be women around Mr. Tyson. Why won’t you take this opportunity to get over your shameful past?”

Clarissa had never come across someone as stupid as Verona.

Well, Mimi would still take the cake, but this Verona is definitely a close contender.

How did someone like her can become so famous? I’m surprised she hasn’t made any enemies in the industry.

While Clarissa continued to look at Verona with a corner of her lips quirked up, Yaala gave the woman a disdainful look. “I know your manager, Maxdon, very well. Did he not teach you how to keep your mouth shut if you wish to have a fruitful career in showbiz?”

The color instantly drained out of Verona’s face after being reprimanded by Yaala.

Verona had been in the industry for several years, and her disrespectful behavior earlier clearly showed that she was getting too full of herself.

“You’re very experienced in the industry, Ms. Zaha, but there’ll always be newcomers who would take over your position in the industry,” Verona scoffed, “And just to make things clear—I came over to talk to Ms. Quigley. There is no need for you to get involved.”

In other words, Yaala was just a busybody.

Yaala let out a cold snort and was ready to retaliate. “You!”
