You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

With her ceaseless cries, one could only imagine the next move that Gloria would make was to hang herself. Of course, she was doing all that just to get Catherine to come out from her room.

Clarissa was rather disgusted by her behavior.

“Aunt Gloria, enough is enough. Your daughter has committed theft, and it doesn’t seem that she wants to change for the better. She looks rather angry at me right now.”

Feeling triggered, Mimi turned her wretched face to look at Matthew. “Clare, watch your attitude. Matthew is still here. You’re ruining your own image. I’m like a sister to you, and my mother is an elder who should be respected. Hmph. Matthew, don’t you think she’s a bit much?”

Clarissa pursed her lips and turned to Matthew. “Do you think I’m being cruel?”

Matthew gazed at her lovingly and pecked her cheeks. “Clare, how can someone call you cruel? I think you’re super cute.”

Eyeing Mimi with disdain, Clarissa sneered with a proud look on her face.

Meanwhile, Mimi’s face was turning darker and darker by the second. Unable to keep up her act anymore, she retort…”Hah! What else can I expect? You’re just a loser who relies on his wife…”

“Shut it!”

Unable to stand the ruckus, Catherine had come out of her room. Upon hearing Mimi’s insults, she finally lost her temper.

Gloria quickly went up to her, holding her arm and pleading to her with a creaky voice.

“Mom, look at her! This granddaughter of yours is trying to end us all! Why is she so spiteful and cruel? I’m her aunt and your daughter!”

Catherine ignored Gloria’s pleas, shook her off, and sat down beside Clarissa.

As Gloria’s bawling persisted, Catherine frowned and remained quiet. Noticing that, Jacob gave his wife a nudge.

“Catherine, Mimi has admitted to her mistakes. I promise that such things would never happen again. Would you forgive us, aren’t we family?” he said.

Catherine squinted her eyes at Mimi. “Admitted to her mistakes? Back when Clary had yet to come home, I’ve already warned you that you need to return her things. But what did you do? You refused to do it and denied that you have taken her things. Hah! Clary has already reported the case to the police now. It’s too late.”

“Grandma! How can you do this to me? I’m your granddaughter. Why are you treating me like this? Are you on Clare’s side now just because she’s more well-off? I’ll be much richer than her in the future, and I’ll treat you even better than she does!” Mimi cried.

“Yes! When Mimi becomes a celebrity in the future and makes the big bucks, she would definitely treat you well. She’s taking her college entrance exams very soon. If you let Clary report her to the police now, her future would be ruined!” Gloria placed a hand on her chest as if struggling to breathe…”Mimi has had it tough from a young age in such a family. Oh, and now her dreams of rising to stardom have been crushed by her own family. Mimi, I’m so sorry…”

And with that, Gloria burst into tears once more, not to mention that she was pushing more and more of the blame onto Clarissa.

Clarissa rolled her eyes. Hmph. Your tears won’t work here.

She looked down at her hands that were intertwined with Matthew, tuning out to the noise in the living room.

Catherine also looked rather annoyed by her daughter’s whining.
