After becoming a mother, Clarissa wished to commit everything to Damian. Her biggest hope was that he could grow up happily and peacefully.
Hence, she couldn’t understand how Hilary could be so cruel to her own daughter.
Hilary might be stubborn and selfish, but why did she do that to me?
I can understand that Hilary abandoned me back then to be married into a prominent family.
However, why did she break Matthew and me up? Did she do it for her favorite actress, Shermaine?
On the surface, it was probably the sole reason that Hilary broke them up.
However, Clarissa believed that Hilary certainly had an ulterior motive, for which the latter was willing to sacrifice her own daughter’s happiness.
In fact, Clarissa doubted it three years ago. Nonetheless, she didn’t have time nor interest to dwell on it back then.
She underestimated Hilary’s shamelessness, for she had the cheek to show up three years later.
More importantly, Clarissa couldn’t understand why Hilary thought she could be bullied again and again.
“If you don’t like to see her, I’ve many ways to make her and her husband leave D City.”
Clarissa looked up and met Matthew’s eyes, which were full of affection.
Now that a loving husband and a cute child were around her, Clarissa actually didn’t care if Hilary showed up anymore.
“It’s fine. Even though you definitely can sabotage the Garretts, but this won’t do Tyson Corporation any good. I don’t want you to be a cruel man. Besides, I still have some doubts.”
Matthew took her into his arms and put her on his lap. Then, he leaned in to kiss the corner of her lips and whispered, “What are your doubts? I can help overcome them for you.”
Matthew sounded serious and natural.
As such, she couldn’t help but chuckle and tug his cheek softly. She felt that Matthew looked better when he smiled.
“What was Hilary’s motive?”
Hilary didn’t hesitate to sacrifice Clarissa’s happiness and dampen her own dream to marry Clarrisa into a prominent family. Besides, she wasn’t even perturbed that doing all these would affect her son, Jonathan. Therefore, Clarissa’s biggest doubt was how important the ulterior motive was, so much so that Hilary would make such merciless choices against her.
Also, Clarissa believed that it would deal a huge blow to Hilary once she got to the bottom of it.
She didn’t think of herself as a saint, for she couldn’t forgive Hilary and had thought about retaliating against Hilary.
Back then, Clarissa had no ability nor time to retaliate. Now that Hilary showed up by herself, Clarissa felt that she had to do something to make up for her psychological trauma in the past.
“Alright, I’ll investigate it for you.” Matthew kept fiddling with her fingers as he talked.
Since he made the promise, he was determined to fulfill it to make her happy.
On the other hand, Hilary felt irritated after she was chased out.
However, she didn’t know why she came here to look for Clarissa.
Perhaps I’m harboring my last hope?
Although Hilary initially failed to contact Clarissa, she managed to get the address of her studio from someone and came here anyway.
I never thought this brat would hate me and be so cruel to me.
Hilary had been waiting for quite some time in the car, yet no one showed up. As such, her last hope shattered.
She did not return to the Garretts’ villa since she left. After all, the villa was like a nightmare, a challenge, and a form of torment to her. Now, even her son refused to come home. However, Hilary actually couldn’t understand why things would turn out this way.
Would I have a wonderful life and be respected by the Garretts if I didn’t stop Clarissa in the first place? Alas, my life now is even worse than a maid.
Nonetheless, how could I answer Shermaine if I didn’t stop Clarissa?
Hilary heaved a sigh. I fulfilled what Shermaine wanted, yet she went to prison in the end.
She couldn’t help but think that she made the wrong choice thirty years ago.
Since Clarissa didn’t help her, she had no choice but to return to the Garretts’ villa.
Yvonne nitpicked about everything as soon as Hilary returned. After dinner was prepared, Yvonne didn’t eat any food but went out with her drinking buddies. Also, Zach didn’t come home for dinner.
Lately, Hilary always found some stuff that belonged to a woman in Zach’s clothes. Sometimes, she could even smell the strong fragrance of perfume once he came home.
Back then, Zach would try to come up with some excuses to cover it up. Unfortunately, he didn’t even care concealing it from her now.
Their relationship turned sour because Clarissa was chased out by the Tysons.
It was thus the reason that Hilary looked for Clarissa earlier on.
Zach only came home at midnight, yet Hilary dared not complain about it. She didn’t even utter a word after he lay on the bed.
