You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

Catherine wasn’t able to suppress her wrath anymore when Hilary brought up her late son in front of her.

“Shut up! You’re in no position to bring him up! You were the one and only he cared about, but you didn’t even flinch when you left Clary behind! If there’s someone indebted to him, it’s you!”

Hilary smirked as if she couldn’t be bothered. She rebuked, “He would never allow me to live a miserable life. I’m sure he’s glad I have been living a great life since he’s no longer around to take care of me.”

“Y-You’re such a shameless woman! G-Get out of my sight at once!”

Catherine put her phone aside and started waving her walking stick in Hilary’s direction in an attempt to chase her out. As a result, Clarissa wasn’t able to gain vision over the things going on.

She could merely hear their conversation. The shameless Hilary wouldn’t stop provoking Catherine with her harsh remarks.

“Why don’t you calm down and listen to me when I’m merely trying to tell you the truth? You can’t deny I have given birth to Clarissa, can you? Are you going to dismiss my contribution to the Quigleys? She can easily sever ties with me, but it won’t change the fact that she’s my daughter! I mean, you don’t want others to deem her an unfilial daughter, do you?”

Clarissa, who was on the other end of the call, started shivering in anger as she heard their conversation.

She immediately hung up the call and acquired Hilary’s contact number from the attorney. Seconds after Catherine chased Hilary out of her place, Hilary received a call from someone.

Hilary beamed in satisfaction and picked up the call after marching her way out of Catherine’s place.

Clarissa yelled, “Hilary, what the heck do you want from me?”

Her so-called mother, who had a relatively disheveled look after the fight with Catherine, started running her fingers through her unkempt hair with a grin.

She took her sweet time to gather her thoughts and cleared her throat before answering, “Aren’t you aware of the things I’m up to? Actually, I’m not even asking for much, Clary! You can easily sever ties with me but not with your beloved Grandma, can you? Since you refuse to talk to me, I have no choice but to try my luck with her!”

Clarissa hesitated no more. She addressed Hilary with her first name and asked, “Since when have you become such a shameless woman, Hilary?”

Hilary wasn’t particularly irked by Clarissa’s response. She played along with her so-called daughter and asked, “Have you no manners, Clary? You’re not supposed to address your mother with her first name!”

“Are you sure you’re my mother?”

Chuckling, Hilary asked, “Aren’t you aware of the truth? Shall we confront your grandmother and see if she’s aware of the truth as well?”
