You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 99

Clarissa didn’t know that people loathed her stories.

However, if it was Shermaine who didn’t like it, she wouldn’t mind.

These few days, Clarissa had received a lot of calls from Helen, inviting her for hangouts, from having fun together to shopping, but she rejected every one of them.

The last time Helen called Clarissa, she told the latter she was going to invite Ellie as well, seeing how close they were. The latter got nervous as she couldn’t guess if Helen was trying to threaten her.

Even if it posed to be a threat, Clarissa had no choice but to accept her invitation, and of course, she would be the only one who would be there while Matthew would stay out of that.

That night, Matthew had some business to attend to, so he didn’t return home for dinner.

Clarissa informed Matthew about accepting Helen’s invitation, but the latter only laughed at her. “Didn’t you say that you’ll not be bothered by the Zimmers anymore? Are you so tempted by them you couldn’t hold your ground?”

Clarissa snorted on the call. Looking through the car window, she saw the dazzling neon lights lit up one by one, brightening up the entire city. “It’s not that I can’t take it anymore. In fact, I wish to settle everything at once to prevent future disturbances.”

“Really?” Matthew’s soft chuckles came from the other end of the call, and his voice was soothing to the ear.

“Absolutely. But…” Clarissa murmured her words and the man couldn’t hear what she was saying, so he asked, “Clare, what did you say?”

“Nothing,” Clarissa didn’t want to tell.

“Haha…” Matthew let out a chuckle, and his laugh sounded as if he could tell what Clarissa was thinking without hearing about it directly from her.

The woman felt embarrassed while her ears were flushed red. “I’m almost there, so I’ll hang up now.”

After a while, Clarissa arrived at the restaurant Helen booked.

The latter was sitting alone at a table. Seeing this, Clarissa was relieved, as she could say everything she wanted.

Looking at Clarissa, Helen smiled faintly and spoke mockingly, “What an honor to have you here. It’s so difficult to invite you out for a reunion.”

Ignoring the woman, Clarissa smiled and sat in her seat. “You knew why I didn’t want to come.”

Helen frowned. “Do you think I did it willingly?”

Raising a brow at the woman, Clarissa asked, “So, why?”

Helen argued, “I don’t have a choice.”

Clarissa pursed her lips disapprovingly. “Hah! If you’re so reluctant, who can force you into it?”

“You don’t understand how tough it was for me. By saying all these sarcastic remarks, you’re just trying to humiliate me.” Helen rolled her eyes and folded her arms.

Placing an arm on the table, Clarissa rested her chin on her hand and tilted her head. “Really? You’re the one who invited me to your wedding and was relentless with me at the ceremony. You reap what you sow, so blame yourself for that.”

“Clarissa, you…” Helen grimaced in annoyance.

Clarissa glared at her coldly. They were so direct with their words, but Helen was the only one who got angry with this argument.

Both of them fell silent for a while. Clarissa focused on eating while Helen kept on staring at the former coldly. Her stares were filled with malicious intent, and it was as if she wanted to kill Clarissa.

“Are you full just from staring at me?” Clarissa lifted her head to look at Helen after swallowing her food.

Helen scoffed, “Clarissa, I didn’t invite you out for a meal.”

“Oh?” Clarissa continued eating her food.

“You…” Helen was speechless.

Soon after, she said, “You know what I’m here for. Although I’m jealous of your relationship with Matthew, I don’t have a choice. That’s right, you’ve won in choosing a man of higher status. Out of respect to Mr. Tyson, I’ll have to get along with you. I admit. I’m disgusting, but in the real world, and since I’ve married into the Zimmer family, I’ll have to obey them.”

After pausing for a while, she insisted, “So let’s forget about the past and rebuild a new relationship for now.”

Placing down her spoon, Clarissa wiped the corners of her lips with a paper towel and looked at Helen in the eyes. “There aren’t any feelings between us, let alone being friends. Besides, I don’t wish to have anything to do with you.”

Helen snickered, “Clarissa, you’ve gone too far. You’re just one of Matthew’s women, so don’t think too highly of yourself. Staying in touch with me is a win-win for both of us, and you should stop fantasizing about your Cinderella love story. Face the truth. You don’t have what it takes to be Mrs. Tyson, so why not cooperate with me while you still have his favor? Think twice before you reject my offer. Otherwise, you’ll regret it when he leaves you.”

Clarissa had thought of everything Helen pointed out, and she knew what to do, so she remained calm and poised, not giving the reaction Helen had wanted to see, be it feeling sad, scared, or compromise with her offer.
