You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 359

Hilary panicked in front of Shermaine’s intense gaze.

Her pale face only made her guilt more obvious.

In the end, she had no idea what she was mumbling. “Shermaine, you… I…”

“Ms. Hilary, why are you feeling so nervous? Which part of what they said do you not want me to believe?”

Hilary was shocked. “What did they tell you?”

“What are they supposed to tell me? Ms. Hilary?”

“Nothing. It doesn’t matter. But why did they come and see you?”

Grinning a moment, Shermaine replied, “Oh, they claimed that they were your friends and came to see me on your behalf. Also, they told me that you were very worried about me and missed me…”

Heaving a sigh of relief, Hilary forced an awkward smile.

“That’s right. I asked them to visit you on my behalf… hehe.”

Shermaine let out an innocent smile. “Ms. Hilary, you seem really busy to not have visited me over the last three years. Are you truly that busy?”

Hilary grew increasingly awkward.

“I… I’m sorry.”

Shermaine shook her head. “You don’t have to apologize. After all, we are not related to each other in any way. Given that you’re almost a stranger to me, I understand why you didn’t come to see me…”

Hilary’s lips moved but didn’t know what to say.

Despite Hilary’s telling expression, Shermaine didn’t question further, and neither did she express any suspicion.

Hilary’s behavior alone was more than enough to raise one’s suspicions.

Despite her obvious guilt, Shermaine continued to feign ignorance.

“Ms. Hilary, let’s not talk about this anymore. I’m sure you’re aware that I have limited access to information inside here. Why don’t you share with me the latest news outside?”

Hilary nodded. “Of course, what would you like to know?”

Shermaine smiled. “About Clarissa and also Matthew.”

Hilary was stunned and didn’t know where to start.

“Don’t worry. I now know where I went wrong and have admitted my utter defeat. I just want to know if they are happy? When my family came to see me, they did update me a little about them. Despite wanting to find out more, I was concerned that I would cause them to worry. Therefore, I have no one else to ask. Since you’re here, I can finally enquire about how they are doing.”

“Everything was fine before this. Both of them had gotten married a long time ago and even had a son. However, my daughter messed up. This morning, she was exposed for having an affair. The incident caused the public to doubt that her son belonged to Matthew. I was outraged by it. Why can’t she just focus on her life and not get into such trouble? Even if she wanted to have a lover, can’t she at least be more careful? I just can’t stop worrying about her…”

As Hilary rambled on angrily, she praised Clarissa a little before criticizing and ridiculing her.

However, Shermaine listened with an expressionless face.

She let out a long sigh and remarked, “Life really is unpredictable.”

“That’s true. Who’s to say it isn’t?”

Both of them reacted with different expressions.

Due to the limited visiting time, Hilary left in a short while. However, the moment she stepped out, she realized that she had not achieved what she came to do.

Wasn’t I supposed to tell her the truth today?

However, when she saw the look in Shermaine’s eyes, she realized that her guilt and fear were holding her back.

What Hilary wasn’t aware of was that Shermaine had purposely steered the topic away when she had tried to broach it.

After getting into a taxi, Hilary left the prison.

On the way back to the city, Hilary was surfing on her phone when she suddenly saw the news about Tyson Corporation attempting to defend Clarissa.

Hilary sat up in shock as she continued to read the latest developments. After Tyson Corporation took action, many influential figures came out to defend Clarissa and Matthew. Furthermore, legal notices were sent en-masse to all those that had spread rumors and ridiculed Clarissa, shutting them up. Consequently, Hilary was astounded by the response.

She didn’t expect Matthew to not only not mind the betrayal, but also defended Clarissa’s honor on her behalf.

Tsk-tsk… Clarissa is really something.

Hilary didn’t expect her to have Matthew eating out of her hands.

Holding that thought, Hilary was relieved that she didn’t tell Shermaine about the baby switching incident on impulse.

Therefore, she was still Clarissa’s mother and Matthew’s mother-in-law.

Hilary figured that if this scandal couldn’t even impact Clarissa’s relationship with Matthew, their marriage could withstand anything.

With that thought in mind, she laughed smugly. Given how capable Clarissa is, there’s no way I’m going to break ties with her.

Shermaine is nothing compared to her. After all, Clarissa is the one with a bright future.

“Hahaha…”
