You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 393

She’s right! Clarissa, who’s a renowned screenwriter and the wife of a tycoon, possesses the fortune I need to achieve the carefree lifestyle I seek! In other words, she’s the only one I can rely on!

There’s nothing much she can do to sever ties with me for the time being since she’s such a filial granddaughter! However, what am I supposed to do if I can’t threaten her using that old hag in the future?

What if she comes after me without holding back once the old hag passes on? Isn’t it a matter of time until the day my life is a mess again?

When Hilary lost herself in a train of thoughts, Shermaine added, “Can’t you think of something else apart from trying to coerce her into submission? You need to establish some sort of relationship with Clarissa.”

“Are you serious? Aren’t you aware of the grudges she’s holding against me?”

“She’s holding a grudge against you but not your son, isn’t she?”

Hilary finally snapped out of bewilderment and exclaimed, “You’re right! She will never leave Jonathan alone if he needs her!”

“See? Just leverage on the relationship she has with your son.”

“You’re right, Shermaine!”

Shermaine is spot on once again! There’s no way Clarissa will leave her beloved brother alone! She’ll definitely take care of Jonathan in spite of the grudges she holds against me!

I have such wonderful children! They’re actually contributing to my ambitious goal of living a carefree life one way or another!

Only a mere few were involved in the saga of Hilary and Clarissa. Apart from the onlookers, the only ones concerned about the progress of the incident were a pair of husband and wife.

“How are we supposed to get our money from Hilary if she’s no longer affiliated with her daughter and her husband?”

Judy was concerned about their son’s future as she thought of acquiring the fees he needed to further his education from Hilary.

She thought those involved might have figured out the things going on since Clarissa no longer seemed to deem Hilary her mother.

Concerned, Judy asked her husband, “What if they have figured out the truth? If that’s the case, we won’t get another cent from them in the future! What are we supposed to do?”

“Stop overthinking things and freaking yourself out! Since we’re running out of cash, it’s almost time to get in touch with Hilary and figure out the things going on!”

“Is she going to come after us if she no longer needs us to keep her secret safe?”

Judy got increasingly unease as she was afraid Hilary would take them out after repetitively threatening her with the same thing throughout the years.

Her husband reassured her, “Why are you afraid of someone who does not have a backing? She’s not even on good terms with her husband and her daughter anymore! Who else is going to defend her? There’s no way she’s able to defeat us if it comes to a fight! We’ll just see how it goes!”

As soon as the call got through, they carried on with the conversation in speaker mode. Hilary, who was on the other end of the call, reprimanded the shameless duo without holding back.

The shameless duo was upset as they could no longer acquire any money from Hilary since someone had let the cat out of the bag.

Judy, who thought they would get to live a carefree life for the rest of their lives with Hilary’s secret, started wailing when she figured out the truth.

“Why are you crying when we can try our luck with Ms. Smallwood? Since she has returned to the Smallwoods, I’m sure she’s having the best time of her life again! Maybe the Smallwoods aren’t aware of the truth just yet! We’ll just get in touch with her and see if we can get anything from her! Hurry up and get in touch with her!”

When Judy heard her husband’s suggestion, she stopped wailing as that was a great alternative.

Thus, she regained her composure and got in touch with Shermaine as her husband suggested.

Meanwhile, Shermaine seemed to be anticipating the call from the shameless duo ever since a long time ago.

She told them it wouldn’t be necessary for them to meet in person and agreed to give them a fortune as requested. Judy and her husband were on cloud nine since Shermaine didn’t even hesitate and transferred the requested sum within a few minutes.

“See? I’m sure she’s afraid we’re going to expose her dirty little secrets! Hilary isn’t of much use, but not her smart daughter! Judging by her response, it’s safe to assume the Smallwoods aren’t aware of the truth just yet!”

As much as they were thrilled, Judy’s husband had his fair share of doubts.

He asked, “Have we missed anything? Don’t you think we’re getting the things we seek way too easily? Is it possible for Hilary’s daughter to keep everyone in the dark when Hilary has been exposed?”

“Well, she’s either doing a great job keeping her secrets safe, or she’s doing a great job keeping the Smallwoods happy! Maybe they have made up their mind to accept her as a member of the family! After all, they had spent the past two decades together! They’re not going to abandon her over the night just because she’s not their daughter.”
