You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 81

Clarissa tensed up as well when she heard what Yarick said.

She turned towards Matthew, hoping to read the look in his eyes. However, she couldn’t make anything out of his cold, expressionless face.

“Yeah, what do you make of this, Uncle Matt? You’re always spot on with your judgment about people, so why don’t you tell us what you think? Who knows, maybe you can even recommend someone better for Clarissa after her breakup!”

“Ahem…”

Yarick choked on his own saliva when he heard that, but pursed his lips and kept quiet when he saw the others roll their eyes at him.

All Matthew did was shoot Clarissa a cold glance as he said, “Break up with him, then.”

Everyone else went silent upon hearing that, all except Ellie, who patted Clarissa on the shoulder as she tried to comfort her.

“See? Even Uncle Matt agrees that you should just break up with that guy! Don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll find someone better! I’m sure Uncle Matt and Justin know some decent men they could recommend to you! The best way to forget about that guy is to embrace a new relationship!”

A look of sadness flashed across Clarissa’s face, but it was quickly replaced by a cold and wry smile instead.

Ellie tried changing the topic to take her mind off it, but her bestie wasn’t interested and continued downing drinks, one glass after another.

Realizing something was really off, Ellie decided to bring her home.

Clarissa was so drunk that she could barely stand, and she was mumbling something under her breath while Ellie struggled to hold her steady.

“Hey, you guys! Don’t just sit there! Give me a hand, will you?”

Yarick was the fastest to respond “Ah… No, I think I’ll pass…” He shook his head profusely.

Jeremy, on the other hand, simply smiled. “I don’t think it’s appropriate for us to do so.”

Justin nodded. “I agree. It would be disastrous if someone were to spot us and take pictures.”

Ellie frowned in annoyance and turned to Matthew instead.

“Uncle Matt, you’ll help me out, right?”

Before Matthew could respond, Clarissa stood up straight and said, “I can manage myself… I’ll be fine on my own…”

She then brushed Ellie off and staggered her way out the door.

Letting out a helpless sigh, the latter ran after her while the rest of them remained in the room.

“She’ll be fine with a little coaxing, Matt,” Jeremy said with a grin as he watched Matthew light up another cigarette.

“Jeremy is right. He’s the most experienced when it comes to these sort of things, so you should take his advice on this.” Justin chimed in. “Fights are normal between couples, but cold wars are a big no-no. You can either try to talk things out with her, or just coax her a little if that doesn’t work. The longer you leave it like this, the further you two will drift apart. It’s about time you change that stubborn behavior of yours, Matt.”

Yarick thought about saying something as well, but changed his mind in the last second.

Matthew simply puffed away on his cigarette in silence, seemingly in a bad mood.

Noticing that, the guys exchanged glances and stopped saying anything further.

Suddenly, a loud scream was heard outside. A string of curses followed, and two of the voices sounded really familiar.

They immediately rushed towards the direction of the voices, only to see three women scuffling in the corridor.

A closer inspection revealed that it was in fact a one-sided beating, with Clarissa sitting on top of Yvonne while Ellie helped hold her down from the side.

“You b*tch! This is what you get for insulting me and my mother! Seeing you make me sick!” Clarissa yelled as she violently tugged at Yvonne’s hair.

Needless to say, she was also in pretty bad shape with her skirt all ripped and the scratch wounds on her thighs.

“What are you doing, Ellie? Let go of her!” Jeremy shouted as he pulled Ellie away.

The beating only stopped when Ellie yanked Clarissa off. Even then, she still tried to kick Yvonne as she was being dragged away.

It was truly a nasty sight to behold.

“Let me go! I’m not done with her! You b*tch, I’m gonna beat that pretty face of yours to a pulp! That’s what you get for bullying me!” Clarissa continued cursing at Yvonne as she struggled to free herself from Ellie.

“Alright. That’s enough, Clare! You’ve already beaten her. Let’s go home and celebrate, okay?”

Ellie tried her best to talk her out of it, but Clarissa was dead set on continuing the beating.

It didn’t take long before she struggled free. Matthew stepped forward immediately and held her tightly in his arms.

Clarissa looked up and froze when she saw the terrifying cold glare in his eyes.

Right as everyone thought she had finally calmed down, she lashed out once again.

“Ahh! Let go of me! Help me, Dad! There’s a bad guy here trying to rape me!”

“Pfft… Hahahaha!”
