You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 401

The Smallwoods made a trip to the Wynters to visit Hannah.

Jacque and Sandra were at work. Hence, Hannah was all alone in the house.

It was the very reason Kayla had chosen to visit at that particular hour.

She did not fancy seeing Sandra’s poker face. Hence, she deliberately chose to visit at the time where she could really talk to Hannah.

“Shermaine is doing really well right now. A lot of production teams are offering her various roles. I believe that she will be back on the big screens soon enough, and she is on the way to attaining her former glory. As for the woman who has slandered her, didn’t she get exposed already? Soon, everyone will realize that Shermaine was framed and that she’s innocent…”

Kayla continued to praise her own daughter in front of Hannah in hopes that the latter would rekindle her adoration for Shermaine.

However, Hannah did not seem too eager to listen to Kayla.

The old woman merely smiled and hummed generic responses to Kayla’s remarks.

Kayla was hoping for something more. To be specific, she was aiming to get Hannah chiding Clarissa together with her.

However, her efforts had proven to be in vain.

Disappointment was written all over Kayla’s face. Luckily, Shermaine squeezed her hands to support her mother, effectively preventing her from saying too many inappropriate things.

However, Kayla still could not help but recount how badly Clarissa was doing in front of Hannah.

She had only one intention in mind—to drive home the point that both the Tysons and Clarissa were not trustworthy. Kayla was hoping to influence Hannah enough so that the latter would talk some sense into Jacque from blindly appeasing the Tysons for their own interests.

“Mom, now that Clarissa’s reputation is down in the dumps, the Tysons will surely get dragged down by her. I don’t think it’s wise for Jacque and Sandra to butter up the Tysons right now. Judging by the way things are going, I don’t think it will take long before the Tysons get screwed over. Having a daughter-in-law with such a bad reputation will not bode well for them. It’s even possible that Matthias will get summoned by the higher-ups. It will not end well for Jacque and Sandra.”

“Kay, you can stop whatever you’re trying to do. I cannot make Jacque and Sandra’s decisions for them. To be frank, I know exactly what you’re after, but now I’m not going to interfere with anything. So, you can just drop it.”

To Kayla’s surprise, Hannah actually knew what she was trying to achieve. However, Hannah just did not wish to get entangled with the younger generation’s matter.

Kayla was dissatisfied with her mother’s response. “Mom, how can you say that? You’re our mother! They have to listen to your advice!”

Hannah shook her head and refused to comment further. Then, she excused herself by saying that she was all tuckered out and needed rest in her own room.

Kayla was crestfallen at her mother’s indifference.

My own mother is not siding with me. That’s right, she only cares about my brother.

“Mom, don’t be too upset. Grandma still cares about you. After all, she’s already old and needs to depend on Uncle Jacque and Aunt Sandra on a lot of things.”

Kayla turned on her daughter and sighed. “Shermaine, thank goodness I still have you. Otherwise, I think I’m going to end up worse than your Grandma when I’m old.”

“Mom, you can’t compare yourself to her. I’m your only daughter. Who else can take care of you other than me?” Shermaine smiled.

“That’s right. My Shermaine has always been the best daughter. I don’t have any regrets in my life.”

The two of them left the Wynters. Right after Shermaine stepped out of the house and was about to head to her friend’s place for a gathering, someone stopped her in her tracks.

“Ms. Smallwood, we are from the police station, and we need your cooperation in an investigation.”

Shermaine was taken aback.

However, she quickly regained her composure and nodded, albeit still puzzled. “Sure.”

She looked quite fidgety at the police station.

The police were courteous toward her. After all, one was innocent until proven guilty.

The interrogation started after she took her seat.

The police sought to question Shermaine because a security camera in an intersection caught someone looking very similar to her.

That being said, they were just suspecting her.

So, she was only summoned to assist in investigations.

“Ms. Smallwood, we’d like to know on the afternoon on second of March, where were you and what were you doing? Did you have anyone who could prove your claim?”

Hilary had left the hotel in the afternoon on the 2nd of March, and it was the day when Clarissa had received a call from Hilary as well.

“Me? I don’t remember. What day was that? I’m going to need some time to recall that…”

After confirming that it was the afternoon of a Friday, she started to recount, “That afternoon, my friend called me and asked me out to discuss a production crew needing an actress. We met up at our usual spot and chatted for some time. It must have been quite a long conversation because I remembered leaving the place after the sky was already dark out.”
