Clarissa feared that Luke would concoct more dirty tricks. She said to Joseph, “Mr. Moore, let’s leave right away. I’m worried that my brother will come back.”“Don’t be scared. I’m here. You can rest first.”“No. You don’t know my brother. He'll entrap us both.” Clarissa had gotten up from the bed. She was wearing an innocent-looking white dress. Her clothes were utterly wet. It stuck to her body, revealing her curves. The situation was really awkward.Joseph only got a quick glance, but his ears reddened. He turned his head around, took off his jacket, and put it on Clarissa. Shortly after, they were on the hotel’s first floor. Joseph wanted to give Clarissa a ride back. However, she was afraid of being spotted by her colleagues. It would be difficult to explain if Damien found out. Therefore, she said, “There’s no need. Thank you, Mr. Moore.”“Will you be fine by yourself?” Joseph was worried. “It’s just a short distance away. I can get home just by walking.” Clarissa

After Clarissa returned to her apartment, she bathed and changed her clothes. The discomfort caused by the drug gradually faded away. She lay on her bed and thought of the incident, getting increasingly angry. How could her brother do such a thing? He did not care about their mother and even set his biological sister up. Moreover, Damien would not listen to her explanation. Clarissa did not know what to do. Shortly after, Lily came back from work. She asked worriedly, “Are you okay, Clarissa?”Clarissa felt limp. “I’m okay. What’s wrong?”Lily recalled the rumors she had heard from her colleagues earlier. She worried that her best friend was being bullied. Hence, she quickly said, “You… Didn’t get into a fight with President Lawrence, right? I heard a woman was looking for him at the company just now. He even let her use his private elevator…”“Oh, so what about it?”“They’re all saying that she’s President Lawrence’s ex-girlfriend…”Lily’s words were less offensive than

On Monday at four o’clock in the morning, Clarissa was already sitting on a train. She traveled for two hours and took another three buses to head up the winding mountain road. Finally, she reached her destination. In total, it took six hours.When she arrived at Sunshine Elementary School where Zach used to teach, she started puking. Headmaster Lewis was kind and polite. According to him, Zach was a very sincere person. Others would only volunteer to create a good image for themselves. On the other hand, Zach genuinely cared for the students. Headmaster Lewis passed Zach’s diary to Clarissa. There was a picture of Zach with his students surrounding him inside. He had a red scarf on and looked really handsome. Clarissa’s tears fell uncontrollably after seeing the picture. She felt sorry for Zach.Clarissa walked around the school with Headmaster Lewis. Then, she glanced at her watch. It was almost noon. In about three hours, she had to go to Damien’s grandfather’s house.The

Damien found Clarissa in the study room on the second floor. She was reading a novel. Damien knocked on the door and said, “Come here. I have something to discuss with you.” Clarissa was startled. He probably wanted to talk about what happened that morning. Damien walked toward his bedroom and Clarissa followed nervously. Upon entering his room, Clarissa looked around. The size and extravagance exceeded her expectations. It was basically another luxury house. Damien changed his clothes casually, unintentionally revealing his eight packs. It made Clarissa’s scalp tingle for a moment. She quickly turned her head around. Damien smiled creepily. “What’s wrong? Are you shy? You’ve already had sex with me. Why are you acting all reserved now? Were you pretending to like sex when you’re actually scared of it?”Damien’s words clearly meant that she was addicted to sex. How could she not blush?“I wasn’t.” “You weren’t? I guess I’ve misinterpreted,” said Damien playfully.

When the police arrived at the scene, Anthony was pushing Clarissa. Both of them were taken away to the police station. Joseph followed them by driving his car, but he could only wait outside. The sky was getting darker. Soon, it rained. Joseph’s impatience kept growing. In the end, Clarissa was asked to contact her relatives or friends so they could bail her out. Clarissa was afraid of Damien’s reaction after finding out about this incident, so she did not call him. Besides, their relationship was only on a surface level. Damien was not responsible for her. Thus, she dialed Luke’s number. "What do you want? I have no money." Almost immediately, Luke hung up. After drugging Clarissa, Luke got a scolding from Joseph and was almost fired. Since his ploy had failed, he was in deep trouble.How could he possibly help the person whom he had a grudge against? The beeping sound made Clarissa feel embarrassed. Her own brother had hung up on her without a second thought.
