You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 96

Back then, the whole school knew that Helen had a crush on a senior. They were always together no matter where they went, so everyone believed that they would definitely end up as a couple, including Helen herself.

Although neither of them openly confessed their feelings to each other, a woman’s intuition was usually spot on. The suggestive relationship between them was crystal clear. Not to mention, she had also met his friends and vice versa. How could they be anything else but a couple?

However, all of this was ruined by Clarissa.

When her senior saw Clarissa in her dormitory, he no longer had eyes for her.

He even publicly professed his love for Clarissa on the first floor of the female dormitory.

At that time, everyone looked at Helen with either pity or ridicule in their eyes. She became the laughing stock of the entire school overnight.

The explanation her senior gave her was that he never once thought of themselves to be a couple and merely saw her as his best friend. Moreover, he had never said that he liked her that way.

That was when Helen severed her friendship with Clarissa and left the school dormitory, never setting foot there again.

Although Clarissa rejected her senior, Helen felt that she would never be able to forgive her.

Hence, when she wanted to show off her marriage to others, Clarissa was the person who came to mind.

Even if she couldn’t hurt Clarissa nor take revenge on her, at least she could show Clarissa that she was living a better life than her.

Needless to say, Helen hoped more than anything to see Clarissa living a miserable life.

Thus, she was delighted by this unexpected surprise, using every chance she got to jeer at Clarissa and finding it oh-so-satisfying.

Hah! Clarissa’s already so pissed. This goes to show how ashamed she is of her boyfriend.

Otherwise, she would have brought him over to flaunt, right?

I clearly informed everyone that they were allowed to bring a plus one, but Clarissa is still being so secretive. This only further proves my theory.

This is perfect!

Helen pretended to comfort Clarissa, making them look like they were besties.

“Don’t be mad, Clarissa. Today’s my big day. Won’t you cheer up, for my sake? We just want your friend to join us for a few drinks, that’s all. Don’t worry, we mean no harm.”

“He doesn’t drink. Are you guys done?”

Clarissa was well and truly furious, apparent from the bite in her tone. However, this was a wedding. As long as someone called her out on her attitude, everyone could join in and chose to ignore her anger, or perhaps even call her a party pooper.

Many a time, this was what started an upheaval at weddings.

While the people boxing Clarissa in started to jeer at her, a murmur ran through the crowd on the other side, which gradually escalated to a clamor.

The people over here hadn’t yet noticed the stir and that a group of people was heading toward them.

The groom, Blake Zimmer, was the first to notice it, turning to see his father scrambling to keep up with an eye-catching man who was striding purposefully toward them.

Just as Helen and the others looked over as well, one of the male classmates grabbed Clarissa’s waist, saying that it was to prevent her from leaving, but of course, he had other plans in mind.

Clarissa exclaimed in a sharp voice that penetrated through the wall of people around her.

“Let me go, you b*stard!” Then, her hand came down on the man’s face.

Following the crisp sound of the slap was gasps in shock. They were even more surprised when the man who was being treated with so much reverence quickly shoved everyone aside to pull Clarissa into his arms.

“What’s going on?”

Matthew hugged Clarissa and looked down at her face which had gone pale with anger. He lifted her chin and inspected her for injuries. The gesture was intimate, possessive, and protective all in one package.

Clarissa pulled his hand away and shook her head. Since he was already here, she felt that there was no need to hide anymore. As for introducing him, that was something she could do without.

She uttered in a low voice, “Let’s just go.”

Matthew’s eyes glinted dangerously as he swept his gaze over these people. The look in his eyes was terrorizing and cold sweat began to trickle down everyone’s backs as fear to grip their hearts.

The man who fondled Clarissa earlier was worse off.

However, Matthew kept his temper in check and only cast a meaningful glance at the bride and groom before leaving with Clarissa.

Blake’s father, Dean Zimmer, and some other elders chased after them, panting and apologizing at the same time even though they didn’t know what exactly had transpired here. They were also tripping over themselves trying to invite Matthew to stay for a drink or two.

However, Dean came back with the others after some time with dismay written on their faces.

He immediately called Blake and Helen over, leaving behind the table of ex-classmates who exchanged fearful glances.

“Blake, what exactly is going on?”

Blake was about to ask him the same question.

“Dad, who was that?”

“The president of Tyson Corporation.”

“That was him?”

Blake had only just returned to the country and joined the company not long ago. Hence, he wasn’t very familiar with the influential entrepreneurs or matters related to the business circle here. Despite that, he was well aware of who Matthew Tyson, the president of Tyson Corporation, was.

While Blake was still in a daze, Dean looked at Helen, expressing mild displeasure toward this daughter-in-law of his.

“Helen, is Mr. Tyson’s girlfriend your ex-classmate? Why didn’t you say so?”

Why didn’t I say so?
