You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

What love rival?

All they knew were rumors that barely scratched the surface of the real truth. Clarissa couldn’t be bothered clarifying back then, but these people had actually remembered that incident, which was out of her expectations.

Helen can’t possibly have called me over because she’s still holding grudge against me, right?

As Clarissa mulled over it, one of her classmates had already pulled her to a table to sit.

“Clarissa, you went back to your hometown right after graduating. What do you do now? Why don’t you ever talk in our class group chat? Is our beautiful classmate too busy pursuing her career?”

Clarissa smiled awkwardly but did not offer a definitive answer.

Her guarded behavior rubbed some people the wrong way and frustrated several others as well.

One of the female classmates piped up, “Time really does fly. We’re already at the age to marry. Can you believe it? I still remember that Clarissa was the campus belle last time. Even though she never dated in school, many boys couldn’t help but be obsessed with her.

“Speaking of which, Clarissa, are you still single? It’s actually better this way. I bet you don’t know this, but when Helen announced that you’d be attending her wedding, many of our male classmates put everything aside to rush back, even those who were abroad, and it was all for you, Clarissa. C’mon, tell us, will you give them a chance?”

The male classmates immediately perked up. Indeed, many of them had come here hoping to court her.

Everyone’s inquiring gazes fell on Clarissa. Although she didn’t like how her classmate had shone the spotlight on her private life, she remained cool-headed.

Under their expectant gazes, she gave a blunt answer. “I already have a boyfriend and we’re very close, but I appreciate your concern.”

Some were stunned, but most were disappointed.

However, those emotions morphed into curiosity in the end.

“Oh? I remember we had many outstanding boys in our school back then. Don’t tell me none of them managed to move you? Now I’m curious about the man who succeeded in capturing your heart. Who is he? I think besides a prince, no man can interest you, right?”

Clarissa lifted her lips into a bland smile. “No, he’s not a prince or as exaggerated as you made it to be. He’s just an ordinary man.”

“So, you accepted an ordinary man? Then, why didn’t you accept our classmates or seniors back then?”

“I don’t see how it relates. Naturally, I went with my feelings.”

“Haha. I find that hard to believe.”

Clarissa did not want to refute or defend herself, so the atmosphere turned stale in a matter of seconds, causing the others to feel slightly awkward.

But soon, they turned their attention to the wedding and started discussing it.

It was said that the wedding photos were taken abroad by a professional team, adding up to millions.

Some said that apart from being the president of some companies, Helen’s husband was from the upper-class and had a net worth of up to a billion.

Others said that Helen was gifted a villa worth millions in D City as her marriage settlement, and the juicy gossip went on.
