Semua Bab Love in Twilight: Bab 151 - Bab 160

An annoyed Damien lit up a cigarette during the meeting.Noticing that Damien was in a bad mood, Ray asked, “Damien, do you want to proceed with the meeting tomorrow?”“It’s fine, we can continue.”Ray broke down the steps needed to reform the finance department while providing new guidelines for other departments to follow.When everyone got off work, the entire company had already known about Clarissa and Damien’s argument.That was because Clarissa was shouting very loudly in the office during the fight.Those who managed to eavesdrop on their conversation said that Clarissa was threatening Damien with a divorce.As for the exact details, nobody knew about it.It was the first time in history that someone dared to confront Damien in a rude manner, in his own office to boot.Lily: [Clarissa, how bold of you to strike an argument with President Lawrence! Why did you threaten to file for a divorce?]Still at work, Clarissa ignored the message. After all, it was a matter of ti

Even though it was the holidays, Uncle Pete still had to work. So, Aunt Cindy and Connie were the only ones at home.When Cindy saw Clarissa and her mother, her reaction was the same as Connie’s. They were both emotionless.Deep down, Clarissa felt bad for her mother. She had been bedridden for almost six years. All this while, Theresa couldn’t visit her mother at all.When Grandma saw Theresa, they hugged each other and cried out loud. It was apparent that the affection they shared for each other was mutual.Cindy glared at Grandma. Clarissa knew exactly what she meant by that look. She was warning Grandma to choose her words wisely.Since Grandma depended on Peter and Cindy for a living, she was terrified of Cindy. Refusing to say anything, Grandma only sobbed in silence.Looking closely, Theresa realized that there were bedsores on her mother’s back. On top of that, the bedsheet was extremely filthy.“Mom, I’ll clean the bed sheets for you,” Theresa said.Knowing that Theres

The next day, Clarissa went back home in Landon’s car after her grandmother’s bed sheets were dry. She then returned them to her grandmother.After the holidays, she resumed work again.Janet said that the annual meeting would commence in a few days. By then, Damien would be giving the audit department an award.Clenching her fists, two words rose to Clarissa’s mind: Damien Lawrence.The thought of Damien made her feel conflicted about her own emotions.She hadn’t seen him for days, but she still maintained contact with Grandpa by comforting him that everything was fine.Since it was the end of the year, the audit department was hustling to get its job done. Swamped with work, Clarissa would always overwork herself until late at night.For the next few days, Clarissa would stay at her office until ten at night with her dinner on her right and her laptop on her left. When Lucas passed by, he saw Clarissa’s serious expression through the glass windows.He took a few photos and se

Ray gave Damien a look, but Damien didn’t say anything.Damien, meanwhile, shot Clarissa a dissatisfied glare.The reason was obvious. He was annoyed that she still wouldn’t come back home after so long.That also meant she had completely given up on their marriage, all because of Joseph.Plus, she didn’t even try to explain herself to him.They hadn’t been contacting each other at all in recent days.The two of them stood in front of Clarissa and Connie, their backs facing the two women.Connie immediately thought, ‘This is my chance! I’ll embarrass her in front of President Lawrence now!’“Clarissa, stop arguing with your husband. It’s not like he did it on purpose.” Connie lowered her volume, but she still made sure that Damien and Ray could hear her speak.Clarissa was befuddled. ‘How did Connie know about what happened between us? New East has definitely taken gossiping to another level.’‘Why’s she mentioning this in front of Damien, though? Is she just dumb, or is she

Clarissa boarded the bus, her mind buzzing with worry.It seemed like Connie had tricked both her and Joseph.When she returned home, the lights were still on. However, Clarissa didn’t see her mother.Clarissa called out to Theresa, but nobody answered her.Swinging open her bedroom door, she saw Damien sitting on the chair in her room.Clarissa had expected it. ‘He must be aware of what happened today.’Strangely enough, she didn’t see his car downstairs just now. Where had he parked his car?Since he drove here, he probably arrived here way earlier than Clarissa, who had boarded the bus.From the looks of it, Damien was here to give her a ‘surprise’.Shocked, she tried to close the door and rush outside. Before she could do that, Damien wrapped his hand around her waist and threw her on the bed.He pressed his body to hers.“Where did you go that day?” he interrogated Clarissa with a cold voice.“Where’s my mom?”“I’m asking you. What did you do with Joseph that night?”
