You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

In truth, Clarissa was more amused by the situation than Ellie was.

Her conscience was clear as she did nothing wrong. Regardless of whether it was at school or work, she had never made a mistake.

Just because she fell in love with Matthew, she had to be humiliated and ridiculed by her elders despite her innocence.

Where’s the justice in that?

Clarissa sneered, interrupting Margaret and catching everyone’s attention.

However, her expression remained calm as usual.

“Mrs. Tyson, I grew up in a small city where my father died while I was young and my mother remarried. Is it wrong to be born into such a family? I lived with my Grandma and we depended on each other for our livelihood. Although life was tough, there’s nothing wrong with it. Despite not being able to afford university, I managed to get a scholarship and study loan with my excellent grades. After I graduated, I quickly paid off my student debt. Is there any fault in that? I excelled in my job too. Despite not being filthy rich, I can still afford to buy my own house and car while taking care of my grandma. Is there anything wrong with that?”

Her explanation was calm and undemanding.

However, her clear conscience radiated out of her eyes and exposed the hypocrisy of others.

After a brief silence, Margaret replied, “I’m not saying it’s your fault, but given your background, you aren’t…”

“If there’s nothing wrong with being born into such an environment, why do you then have to ridicule and humiliate me? Must I be looked down upon by you just because I’m poor?”

“Clarissa Quigley, how can you speak so rudely?”

Shermaine couldn’t help but intervene but Clarissa shot her a cold piercing glare.

“I’m speaking to Mrs. Tyson now. What has it got to do with you?”

“You…”

Before Shermaine could react, Clarissa continued her tirade, “Perhaps, you might not see the point in what I said and find it preposterous. But, I just want to let you know that my conscience is clear and I am worthy of Matthew.”

“Well said!”

Ellie couldn’t help but clap causing Yuliana to glare at her.

However, she wasn’t bothered as she only cared about voicing her support for Clarissa.

“I have said my piece. If your intention is for me to leave Matthew, I can only say that there’s no reason for us to break up, unless Matthew himself decides to do so.”

With that, she turned around and walked out.

“Stop where you are…”

Margaret was persistent as she called out from behind. However, Clarissa had walked out of the Tyson residence.
