You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 392

Hilary then made her way back to D City immediately after she hung up the call with Clarissa.

The moment she returned, someone showed up and brought her to another place.

Hilary was intimidated as the two buff-looking men next to her remained silent throughout their way to a certain somewhere.

Her mind was all over the place until she made her way into a room and saw Clarissa sitting on the couch.

When she ensured her life wasn’t at stake, she heaved a sigh of relief and started yelling at Clarissa, “Are you trying to give me the shock of my life? Have you sent them to intimidate me?”

Clarissa glared at her in the eyes and answered in a callous tone, “Why haven’t I thought of taking you out when you’re on the way here?”

“Are you trying to pull my leg? Aren’t you afraid of karma?”

“I’m pretty sure karma will gets to you before it gets to me.”

“Y-You—” Hilary was about to throw another tantrum, but Clarissa got ahead of her and interrupted the infuriated woman in front of her.

She asked, “Shall we talk about the amount of compensation or not? If you want to get the things you’re here for, just shut up and listen!”

Hilary was reluctant to give in, but she had to take a seat as instructed.

She put her bag aside and carried on with her chest held high.

“Alright, let’s begin! The first thing I need from you is monetary compensation for my hard work over the years! On top of that, I need you to clarify the ongoing issues since the netizens are still waiting for my clarification! Just announce we have patched things up!”

“That’s impossible!” Clarissa turned Hilary down without a second thought.

“Oh? If that’s the case, forget about it! Since we can’t see eye to eye, I think that’s the end of our conversation!”

Hilary got up from her seat and was about to leave.

Afraid Hilary would try something reckless after the failed negotiation, Clarissa yelled, “Hold it right there!”

Her so-called mother turned around and yelled at her in return, “I’m still your mom! You better keep that in mind and show some respect instead of yelling at me in the face! I’ll drag that old hag to hell if you don’t stop getting on my nerves! Since you’re trying to ruin my life, I’ll go ahead and ruin everyone else’s life as well!”

Clarissa glared at Hilary in the eyes—she couldn’t afford to put Catherine at stake.

Meanwhile, Hilary, who had nothing to lose, sneered and asked, “Is that a deal?”

“Yes.”

“You shouldn’t have turned me down in the first place!”

After Hilary returned to her seat, she said, “You need to ensure everyone is aware we have patched things up.”

That was the only thing that could tarnish Clarissa’s image since that might invalidate her statements when she had announced she would press charges against Hilary.

Others would hold her accountable should she announce they had patched things up over the night without much explanation.

If Hilary were to take advantage of Clarissa’s announcement and bring everything to an end, others would definitely think Clarissa was the one at fault.

Even if it’s going to tarnish my image, I guess I’m not really in a position to turn her down, huh?

“Speaking of the compensation amount, I’m not that much of a greedy woman. Just five million per annum will do. You spend more than that as Mrs. Tyson, don’t you?”

Clarissa had long foreseen Hilary demanding more than she would ever need. However, the amount Hilary brought up was absurd.

“Half a million per annum!”

“Huh? Stop wasting my time, Clarissa! You’re the almighty Mrs. Tyson of Tyson Corporation! I’m sure your monthly allowance is more than half a million, isn’t it? I won’t accept anything less than five million!”

Hilary showed no signs of tolerating at all. Although Clarissa had come prepared, she wasn’t about to give in just yet.

“A million!”

“Nothing less than five million!”

“Two million!”

“I won’t repeat myself for another time! Nothing less than—”

“Why don’t you go ahead and tell Grandma? You don’t think I’m a freaking cash generator, do you? I’m Mrs. Tyson, but I don’t have authority over Matthew’s personal asset! I don’t even have that much for myself! The most I can offer is two million! If you want anything more than that, just forget about it and tell Grandma the truth!”

The doubtful Hilary looked at Clarissa with her brows arched. When she caught a glimpse of Clarissa’s stern look, she reluctantly announced, “Three million! I’ll accept nothing less than three million!”

“Alright! Here’s the contact number of the attorney representing Tyson Corporation! Just get in touch with him, and he’ll take over everything from there.”

“Are you sure he’s capable of defending me?”

“If you’re having your doubts, feel free to forget about it.”

“Well, I guess I’ll have faith in my beloved daughter! Clare, shall we forget about everything and move on? Jonathan has always been fond of you! Once he grows up, we’ll get him to be a member of Tyson Corporation! If that’s the case, you won’t have to rely on Matthew anymore! Don’t you think that’s a great idea? I was the one at fault for neglecting you back in the day, but I’ll take you seriously in the future! Also, I’ll stop causing you any more trouble!”
