You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

Catherine shifted her gaze to Clarissa, worried that the latter might get upset.

Unexpectedly, Clarissa cast a soft smile. “Jenny, please accompany Grandma to her room and let her have some rest. I’ll inform you when dinner is ready. I’m going to spend some quality time with my cousin.”

Jenny left with Catherine upon hearing that.

With that, Clarissa and Mimi were the only ones left in the living room.

Clarissa stared at Mimi and scoffed, “How should we bond with each other?”

“Clare, wouldn’t it be great if we keep in touch all the time? Actually, we were pretty close when we were young. I don’t know why we ended up like this.”

“Oh, really? I remember nothing about that. What I remember is you snatching whatever that belonged to me.”

Mimi never expected that she would hold grudges. Suddenly, the atmosphere became awkward.

“Clare, I was childish back then. Kids tend to behave like that. Please forgive my childish acts. Unlike you, I had a hard life when I was young. Your family always got you delicious food and lovely toys. I was just jealous of you since my family was poor. But now that we’ve grown up and you’ve become even richer, I guess you won’t hold grudges anymore, right?”

“Why should I listen to you?”

Crossing her legs, Clarissa glared at Mimi in a condescending manner, which made her feel uneasy and guilty.

Moreover, Mimi knew she couldn’t afford to cross the woman before her, even though the latter was purposely giving her a hard time.

“Mimi, are you saying that you could just snatch my things because you didn’t have them? What about now? I have more while you have even lesser. So based on your logic, you can once again claim my belongings as yours and I’m supposed to tolerate your ignorance? Am I right?”

“Clare, stop kidding. I’m not that kind of person.”

“Mimi Lester!”

Clarissa’s tone turned cold. “Stop pretending! We both know exactly what kind of person you are. Like I told your mom earlier, I don’t give a damn about you lot, including Aunt Gloria. It’s too late to make up to me now. Besides, I know what you’re up to, so stop putting on a show here. The only connection between us is Grandma. However, her relationship with all of you has nothing to do with me. I think I’ve made my point perfectly clear.”

Without waiting for Mimi’s response, Clarissa stood up and stared into her eyes. “Mimi Lester, you’d better show yourself out before I do it myself.”

“Clarissa Quigley, how dare you do this to me?”

Mimi couldn’t contain herself anymore as Clarissa’s words had shredded her mask into pieces. Overwhelmed with rage, her face contorted with anger.

Her eyes were filled with greed, hatred and jealousy.

Mimi pointed her finger at Clarissa.
