You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 313

Later on, Clarissa received the report from the investigations Matthew ordered on Hilary.

It detailed the relationship between Hilary and Judy. When Hilary was giving birth, she had been in the same ward as Kayla. As for Judy, she resigned not long after both of them gave birth.

After she quit, Judy spent her days lavishly. However, it didn’t take long for her to finish spending all her money.

Thereafter, she quickly found a husband and had children. However, they returned to D City not long after. Despite not having a job, the couple was still able to splurge, including buying a new home. Judy shopped every day like a rich housewife, while her husband dabbled in the stock market. Despite losing a lot of money, he was somehow able to continue investing in it.

Over the years, Hilary had been paying Judy a lot of money.

However, their only connection was that she was Hilary’s midwife when she gave birth. Coincidentally, she had also acted in the same capacity for Kayla then.

Nevertheless, it still wasn’t clear why Hilary was paying off Judy for so many years.

Although she wasn’t able to prove it yet, Clarissa was certain that Judy was blackmailing her mother.

When she was done, Clarissa chucked the laptop aside. Regardless of whether the truth was what she had pictured, it no longer mattered.

Feeling relieved, she felt that whatever happened was now in the past. After all, she was happy with her life right now.

“Damian, Damian, I love you to bits!”

When she suddenly cuddled her son, who was having some snacks while watching television, he plainly replied, “Mommy, I love you too. But, you are blocking my view.”

Damian highlighted his problem to her politely, but there was a tinge of annoyance in his tone.

Chuckling, Clarissa cupped his face and gave him a delightful kiss.

“My dear, we can rewind it later. You foolish child!”

At that, Damian pouted in displeasure. “Mommy, I’m not a fool. You’re the one that’s foolish, hehe.”

The boy let out a hearty laugh after speaking.

“What are you laughing at? Who’s the one that’s foolish, hmm? It must be you, Damian.”

“Hehe… No, you are, Mommy…”

While both of them giggled gleefully, Julia’s heart warmed as she watched on.

Ever since Damian arrived, the house has been filled with life and laughter. Everyone has grown visibly happier too.

Meanwhile, after Judy and her husband left the prison, they couldn’t stop smiling. They were unable to contain their excitement as their eyes glistened with greed.

“Hubby, I told you we could definitely get her to pay us. In fact, we have even gotten more. The rest of our lives are now secured. By the way, we have to tell our son. He can continue to blackmail her until the day she dies.”

“You’re right. Let’s demand a hundred thousand. A hundred thousand a month. Hahaha… This is awesome!”

To them, it was a lot of money indeed.

However, from collecting ten thousand a month from Hilary to a hundred thousand from Shermaine now, their appetite had obviously grown.

Given that they planned to live off Hilary and Shermaine for the rest of their lives, there was no guarantee that they wouldn’t ask for more.

Two days later, Judy received a hundred thousand in her account.

Hugging her husband in joy, both of them went out to celebrate and splurge.

After all, once they spent everything, they would be paid again.

Judy loved to shop and go for facials, while her husband had all the vices of a man on top of speculating in the stock market.

That night, Judy’s husband, Jake, went to a club to drink and womanize. There, he made a few friends and quickly got close to them after they treated him to drinks for a few consecutive nights.

Once they grew close, he didn’t keep any secrets from them. After getting drunk once, he boasted to them about how he was able to live lavishly for the rest of his life through blackmail. During his boast, he revealed all the details about why he was getting paid.

Once Donnie had his confession on tape, he handed it to Matthew.

When Matthew was done listening, the office fell unusually silent.

Donnie couldn’t believe a plot worthy of trashy television dramas was happening in real life to someone close to him.

He was simply unsettled by the information as he believed that everything was determined by fate.

People who were fated to be together would end up being together despite how far apart they were and vice versa.

Hence, it was fate that decided how differently Clarissa and Shermaine’s lives turned out.

After a long silence, Matthew asked solemnly, “What else?”

Donnie continued, “The couple even went to prison to see Shermaine and blackmail her. A few days later, they received a hundred thousand. I believed they are extorting a hundred thousand monthly from her.”

Matthew was rhythmically tapping his fingers on the table before stopping abruptly upon hearing that sentence.

“Continue the surveillance on the couple.”

“Yes, Mr. Tyson.”

Matthew hadn’t decided whether to tell Clarissa the shocking news.
