บททั้งหมดของ Love in Twilight: บทที่ 211 - บทที่ 220

Emily stormed in as soon as Mrs. Faber opened the door.“President Lawrence! Someone’s taking away my house! What should I do?!”Her outburst left Theresa and Clarissa confused, since Damien was the one who gave the house to Luke and Emily. Patrick, who had just calmed down, fell into another round of panic the moment he laid eyes on Emily.His lips began trembling uncontrollably.That woman was Madam Zell’s daughter! He had seen her many years ago…After Madam Zell murdered her husband, the daughter appeared briefly before escaping with Madam Zell. Patrick remembered her face vividly.All he could remember that day was Madam Zell covered in blood. Next to her was her husband, lying on the ground with his organs all spilled out. His hands and legs were chopped off, too. It was a gruesome sight.Strangely enough, Patrick couldn’t remember Madam Zell’s face.She had murdered her husband, and had also ruined Patrick’s life.After what happened, the price of his properties dropp

Clarissa was busy the entire day.It was when she was almost done with her work that she remembered the promise she made.She quickly asked for Theresa’s location.She frowned as she saw the location, Universal Gardens.This was Patrick’s land.It used to be a famous land before the incident with Madam Zell. After that, everyone sold their properties on that land.Never did she expect that her brother’s current residence would be in Universal Gardens.Clarissa suddenly had a bad feeling about it.Even so, she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was wrong.She wanted to tell Damien, but in the end, she decided against it.She then drafted a message telling Damien she wouldn’t be back for dinner.Right after that, Damien called her.“Dad’s missing. I won’t be home,” Damien said.“Huh? Alright. Don’t panic. I’m sure he’ll be fine.” Clarissa tried to comfort him.“I’ll leave first.”“Okay.”She then took a taxi to Universal Gardens.…At Universal Gardens.Emily told Theresa

When Clarissa regained consciousness, Damien was by her side.She was lying on the bed in their bedroom. The pillow under her head was soaked through.Slowly, she recalled what had happened before she had fainted.Clarissa didn’t know just how long she’d been unconscious.Everything felt like a dream.“I need to call my mom.” She felt around for her phone, but to no avail. It wasn’t there.She had to see whether her mother was around.Theresa had to be around. She would ask Clarissa to go home for a nice meal…After searching desperately, Clarissa still couldn’t find her phone.“Can… Can I use your phone for a bit?” Clarissa looked pleadingly at Damien. “I want to know what my mom’s doing at home.”“Clarissa.” Damien’s voice was soft. “Don’t do this.”“I… I just want to call my mom. What’s wrong with that? How is it overboard for me to call my mom?” She was smiling, but she didn’t realize that her face was streaked with tears.She looked pitiful.“Get some rest.”“My mom’

Clarissa’s gaze happened to sweep over a photo of Theresa.At that, she teared up again.But the sorrow didn’t last for long.She knew Damien had something to do with Theresa’s death. She couldn’t allow him to see her in so much pain and sorrow.That evening, Damien asked her, “What do you want to eat?”“Anything’s fine.” She was seated at the bay window.After he went into the kitchen, she sent a WhatsApp message to Joseph to ask him about Emily’s parents. She also told him to reply to her by text and not to send her any voice messages.Joseph: [You’ve finally replied to me. I was scared out of my wits.]Clarissa: [I’m fine.]Joseph: [Emily’s always known my father, but he’s never told me anything about her background, and she’s always been quite mysterious. All this time, he’s told her to keep a low profile, but he hasn’t really watched her for the past few years because she was living somewhere else. She only came back to Genovia when she ran out of money. She wanted to ext

After Connie left, Clarissa suddenly felt like she had been sapped of her strength.The mop in her hand fell, and she slumped onto the floor miserably.Damien really did set Luke up!If not for that, Luke wouldn’t have thought of finding his own place. Theresa wouldn’t have gone to view the apartment, and she wouldn’t have lost her life.Though Luke deserved what he got, it was true that Damien had been out to get Luke.Clarissa had felt that something was wrong right from the start. She had felt uneasy, and all the signs were there.In fact, Luke was the true son of Damien’s savior.Why had Damien still given Luke a house and money if he was just going to set Luke up?Even if he was forced to give Luke money because Madelynn had been there, what about the house?Then again, perhaps Damien just didn’t want to keep paying for Luke’s endless greed…Or perhaps it was because of Luke’s disrespect during the engagement. But was there a need to go to that extent?Clarissa buried h
