You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

As shameless as Hilary was, Clarissa’s sharp gaze still got her to feel guilty.

Hilary averted her gaze before yelling at Clarissa. “I never said that I forbid you from marrying anyone, but am I not allowed to at least share my opinion? I am your mother, and you’re getting married. How can you not tell me anything?”

Clarissa scoffed. Hilary might be shameless, but Clarissa felt embarrassed.

“Are you sure you want to have this conversation here?”

Sensing everybody’s gaze on her, Hilary realized that she didn’t want to fight in public.

Someone rushed over quickly and offered, “Ladies, we have a private lounge you can use.”

Hilary commanded immediately, “Lead the way.”

Ellie stayed by Clarissa’s side even when they went into the private lounge.

Hilary suddenly had a revelation and asked, “Ms. Tyson… as in Matthew Tyson’s niece?”

Ellie murmured an affirmative response, and that got Hilary to talk endlessly. “Good, if you’re a member of the Tysons then it’s good that you’re here,” said Hilary, “I can’t discuss the matter with anyone else, so I’ll talk to you about it. The Tysons are rich and of high social status, and my Clary can’t possibly reach that social status. Your family has been against this wedding from the start, and as a mother, I cannot let my daughter throw her life away. Your family claims that Matthew will marry Clary, but the truth is that you guys have always discriminated against my baby, haven’t you?”

“Hilary, that…”

Ellie wanted to explain the situation, but Clarissa cut her words short. “Ellie, don’t bother wasting your breath explaining anything to her,” interrupted Clarissa.

Hilary frowned and reprimanded, “Clarissa Quigley, what is the meaning of this? I am doing this for you. Why are you siding with the outsider?”

“Hah!”

Siding with the outsider? Wow, you really know how to twist facts and turn things around, huh?

After sneering, Clarissa mercilessly dissed back.

Hilary instantly looked worse because her daughter had never been so rude or dissed her like that. Unfortunately, Clarissa spoke up before Hilary could.

“Stop beating around the bush, Mom. First, you acted like you’re unhappy with Matthew, then you’re deliberately making things difficult for Ellie. After that, your faked how you’re doing this for my happiness and told me to think things through. It’s plain to see that you’re doing all this to drive a wedge between Matthew and me to break us up. Anyone, even an idiot, can see what your true motive is, so stop beating around the bush. Just a few days ago, you were hoping that I would marry into a rich family, and you were so excited when you learned about my relationship with Matthew. My, how quickly you changed your stance. I wonder if this is really out of concern for me? Are you really worried that I won’t be happy in the future? To be honest, I don’t buy a damn word you said,” insulted Clarissa.

“You…”

“In addition to not trusting a word you say, I will also be disobeying you. Who the hell do you think you are? My mom? Oh right, you are my mom by blood, but you abandoned me all those years ago when I needed you the most. You’re not worthy of being a mom from that moment on. I have been putting up with you over the past few days and acting civil due to that pitifully weak bond that stemmed from the blood we share. However, I am completely okay with disowning a mother like you if you keep trying to take advantage of me. You can try pushing my buttons if you don’t believe it. Know this, though. You’re only my mom if I allow it. If not, you are nothing but a selfish, pompous woman who is not worthy of being a mother. I don’t give a sh*t about someone like that at all!” added Clarissa.
