You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 271

That night, Clarissa was in for a lot of surprises.

Joshua turned out to be an actual nobleman’s son. After Clarissa managed to get a handle on things, she suddenly realized that Joshua’s talkative nature was not that difficult to comprehend at all.

After all, his father was a foreign minister who depended on his eloquence to win the public’s favor. I guess Joshua’s talents must be some sort of alternative genetic inheritance, right?

And then there was Olive, Joshua’s mother.

Could Joshua’s artistic talent be another form of alternative inheritance too?

Clarissa had trouble getting it into her head that Joshua, her talkative and sometimes immature friend, was actually born into an upper-class family. Yet, he bore so little resemblance to his parents.

It looks like one should never judge a book by its cover.

After seeing Jeffrey off, Clarissa and Joshua walked to the front of the hall.

Clarissa understood then that the charity auction was held not just in the name of Olive’s charitable spirit. She got to know more about the complicated matters involved.

Clarissa met so many people at the banquet that night, some of whom she could recognize and some she did not.

Judging by the number of familiar faces, she could tell how important Olive’s annual charity banquet was to these people.

Ryler and Yaala attended the event together. A few other famous celebrities were present too. Clarissa went ahead to pay her respects.

Ryler raised a brow when he noticed Joshua next to Clarissa.

“Is he your new boyfriend?”

Clarissa’s mouth twitched.

Joshua’s eyes lit up. “Oh, Ryler! How did you know?”

Clarissa rubbed her forehead. Yaala chuckled, “You have good taste, Clare. This one looks tender and sweet. That’s good.”

Clarissa rolled his eyes, unimpressed.

“Can you please stop fooling around?”

Ryler grinned, “What’s wrong? Can’t we celebrate the fact that you have a boyfriend?”

Clarissa snorted, “Ryler, quit talking like that or I’ll pretend I don’t know you.”

Feeling threatened, Ryler gave in. “Fine. This one isn’t good enough for you anyway. Ditch him and find another. There’s bound to be one with your name on it.”

Yaala laughed at his statement. And while that was going on, someone held her by the waist.

Yaala froze and quickly wrenched herself free from the arms that held her, putting some distance between Henry and herself.
