You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

Fear of retribution?

Clarissa couldn’t help but snort within herself.

It’s never Jacque and Sandra who should fear retribution. Instead, it’s the Smallwoods couple who treat their biological daughter like an enemy who should fear retribution.

Kayla wailed in such an entitled manner as though the world owed her something. The people who didn’t know what happened might be wondering how mistreated she was.

James only stood at the side, holding his wife and comforting her softly. Nevertheless, neither did he reprove anything his wife expressed.

His attitude was as good as acknowledging his wife’s stance.

Setting the grudge between Clarissa and Shermaine aside, even the behaviors of that couple alone vexed Clarissa, and she disliked such parents utterly.

Pressuring her own brother and sister-in-law in public in such an aggressive way, and not to mention twisting the facts, this woman is no different from some blatant blackmailers.

Clarissa thought to herself that the Wynters must have helped the Smallwoods couple a lot in the past. But these two people never seem to remember the kindness others have shown them. They just take it for granted; they’re just two ingrates.

Needless to say, Clarissa could feel the wrath of Sandra who was standing beside her. She’s even trembling. God knows how mad she must be.

“Jacque, how can you…”

Kayla was still whining, and Jacque couldn’t bear to be rough on his sister, but Sandra could no longer stand it.

“Shut up, the two of you. James, aren’t you aware of how much help and support Jacque has extended to you in the past? And now you’re wailing here, chiding us for not fearing retribution, hahaha… Well, let retribution come to us then, and we won’t help you anymore. Supposedly, your daughter has committed an offense and has been sent to jail, and that’s the outcome of an impartial judiciary. Nonetheless, you’re insistently claiming that she has been wronged. Why don’t you prove her innocence with evidence then? What’s the use of you groaning here? Do you think your whimpering will help to clear her name? Or do you think Jacque will risk his reputation and do the dirty work for you just because of that? Kayla, you can’t be such an ingrate. You may not remember how your brother has sacrificed for you, and you may not feel sorry for him, but I do. I treasure my husband, and I feel sorry that he has done so much for you just to be treated in such a way in return. Jacque, let her whine all she wants. Let’s go.”

Stunned by Sandra’s cry, Kayla stopped weeping and looked at Sandra walking over to yank Jacque away. Only after the few of them left the corridor that James said to his wife, “Alright, let’s go in now. Mr. Baker is still waiting for us.”

Only then did Kayla remember that they still needed to ask for a favor from Mr. Baker.

They turned around, just to find that Mr. Baker didn’t seem pleased.

James explained hurriedly, “Mr. Baker, I’m sorry you had to witness that. My wife was very concerned about our daughter, and she has always been rather emotional all these years, not to mention we’ve met someone who has a beef with us, hence…”

“Has a beef? Is Mr. Matthew Tyson the person whom you have a history with?”

James noticed Mr. Baker’s tone, he became very heedful. Instead of referring to it as ‘having a beef’, he described how Matthew’s wife, Clarissa had stolen
