You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 7

When Hilary came to Clarissa’s hotel, the latter answered the door readily.

Good, she’s here, Clarissa thought.

I will make her pay for what she did.

Before Clarissa could speak, tears rolled down Hilary’s cheeks as she cried that her hands were tied.

“Clary, I’ll be honest with you. Mr. Jensen is the owner of the company Zach wants to collaborate with. He had no choice but to introduce you to Mr. Jensen. He wanted to introduce Yvonne, but Mr. Jensen saw your photo and insisted on meeting you.”

“Ha!”

Clarissa sneered. “So you sold me out?”

“No, no. We wanted to pacify Mr. Jensen for now until Zach can excuse himself. He’s really sorry about this. We didn’t know Mr. Jensen was at the party that day. We wanted to introduce you to the other young men there. No one is forcing you to do anything. If you take a liking to any of them, you can get to know them slowly. None of us knew that would happen.”

Clarissa was unfazed by her mother’s long-ass explanation.

“Are you done?”

“Clary, I’m also in a tight spot.”

“I don’t understand, and I refuse to understand. You abandoned me twelve years ago to marry into a wealthy family. You should bear the consequences yourself. Stop complaining to me. I’ll take care of you when you’re old, but other than that, I don’t have any obligation to ease your burden.”

Clarissa was firm. “Please leave now.”

Hilary frowned. Nevertheless, she left as Clarissa insisted on ushering her out.

She walked out of the hotel and climbed into her car, where Zach had been waiting.

“That brat refused to listen to me. I should’ve strangled her to death back then!”

Zach chuckled helplessly. “Don’t say that. What will you do now?”

“Let’s wait and see. We were too anxious back then. Zach, she already had her guard up after our first attempt to let Patrick bed her failed.”

“Jensen couldn’t wait. I had to follow his wishes.”

After pondering briefly, Hilary suggested, “Zach, Jensen isn’t the only one who can save our company in D City. That brat is quite pretty. I believe she’s worth more. Jensen offered us too little. What do you think?”

Zach nodded in agreement. “You’re right. I’ll find a way to appease him for now.”

Meanwhile, at Matthew’s office in Tyson Corporation.

Donnie was reporting Clarissa’s background check to Matthew.

Nothing seemed suspicious about her.

“Clarissa Quigley got to know Ms. Tyson back in university. There’s nothing strange about their encounter. It was Ms. Tyson who spoke to Clarissa first. You bumped into her at the hotel because the Garretts sold her to Patrick Jensen so he’d help replace the missing funds in their company.”

Was everything a pure coincidence?

Deep in thought, Matthew’s eyes darkened.

He never believed in coincidences, especially when it happened too many times. When everything seems fine, that’s a huge problem.

Clarissa followed the real estate agent around D City to view different rental houses, both expensive and cheap in different locations. She finally realized it was hard to rent a decent place in the city.

Actually, the solution was simple. It wouldn’t be a problem if she had money.

After an exhausting day, Clarissa returned to the hotel. She received a call from Ellie asking her to meet for dinner. The address of the location was sent to her soon.

Clarissa took a quick shower before heading out.

When she arrived at the restaurant, the server led her into a private room.
