บททั้งหมดของ Love in Twilight: บทที่ 541 - บทที่ 550

What Chanel now knew was that Frank and Iris Benson had a fling in the past. If she exposed this, what would happen? She also had to think of a way to frame Clarissa.When Clarissa saw that Chanel had calmed down, she went home. Bethany was still there.“Oh, you’re finally back. You’re a busy little bee, aren’t you? Are you going to spend the night here?” Bethany asked.This reminded Clarissa of Iris. She wanted to tell Damien about it.“No, I’m not. I have to talk to Damien about something,” she said primly.“Alright, alright, drop the act. You just want to share a bed with him,” Bethany said as she munched on some snacks.“Stop that! I really have something important to tell him. I bet you’re the one who wants to share a bed with a man. Oh, wait. You’re interested in Caleb, aren’t you? I’ll send all the photos I have of him to you.” After that, Clarissa sent Bethany the photos. “Just a heads up, though—he pursued me for a period of time, but nothing happened between us. I hope

Clarissa felt oddly exhilarated at the thought of her poking and prodding Damien while he was still asleep. She continued to play with his lashes.Suddenly, his deep voice rang out. “Have you had enough fun?” His eyes remained closed.Clarissa wasn’t too happy with this. “Why did you pretend to sleep?”“How would you play around if I didn’t pretend?” he asked back nonchalantly.“Well, if you were awake…” It occurred to her that she generally wouldn’t have the nerve to do anything if he were awake.“You wouldn’t have the nerve to play?” he asked, suddenly opening his eyes. Usually, his gaze was sharp and a little scary, but now it was gentle and filled with affection.Clarissa averted her eyes. She pressed her forehead to his chest and drew circles on his abdomen with her finger.Her touch was gentle, and it tickled him.Damien was starting to get aroused.“Do it somewhere else,” he said.“Where?” She looked up at him innocently.Her eyes gleamed.She was already twenty-ei

“That’s enough! You’re already thirty, so stop acting so immaturely,” Clarissa said while tidying up.Bethany threw a tissue onto the floor. “What are you talking about? Being twenty-eight is completely different from being thirty, okay? One is a woman’s prime, and one’s already going downhill. This soap opera’s pretty good, actually. I never liked to watch these, but I’ve been binging this the whole night. Maybe it’s because I’m imagining myself and Caleb in these situations.”Clarissa stopped. “Are you hallucinating?”“Whatever.”“Do you want to eat, or are you going to just keep lying there? Then again, you can do whatever you want here.”“You slept with President Lawrence this morning, didn’t you? Looks like you two didn’t get enough of each other last night.”Clarissa froze. After half a heartbeat, she said, “What nonsense.”“Come on, I’m not a gynecologist for nothing. How can I not tell when you’ve had sex?” Bethany’s attention finally transferred from the soap opera to C

Damien could pretty much guess what Bethany was up to.Since she wanted to pursue Caleb, she had to win his mother over beforehand. This would bring her eighty percent closer to her goal. And since she wanted to come over, this meant that Clarissa had to be around. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be any reason for Bethany to come.He had to admit, Bethany was a smart one.Mrs. Faber answered the door.When Bethany saw her, her eyes practically glowed. She dragged Mrs. Faber to one side and said, “Mrs. Faber, Clarissa knows that she didn’t handle the issue with Caleb well, but she couldn’t think of a way to patch things up with you, so she asked me to apologize on her behalf. Won’t you forgive her? This is all Chanel’s fault—she was the one who pushed the blame on Caleb, and he couldn’t be bothered to get back at her because he’s kind, you know? He’s just such an accountable and reliable guy. I’m sure he’ll be able to do well in the army.”Mrs. Faber glanced at Clarissa. Bethany’s words

Bethany and Clarissa both slumped on the table and fell asleep. Lily was left to eat on her own, and she paid when she was done.As she paid, she muttered, “Those two drunkards! How do you expect a pregnant woman to get the two of you back home?”She called Damien and asked him to pick Clarissa up. As for Bethany, she decided to leave her alone while waiting for Damien to come.At the same time, a grand wedding was being held at a luxurious hotel in Genovia.The groom was handsome, while the bride was elegant. They had just exchanged rings and were about to proceed with the final step when the crowd suddenly started to whisper among themselves.Joseph and Penelope were on stage, so they didn’t notice this.It was obvious to those who were offstage, though.Slowly, whatever the crowd was whispering about reached Shirley, Joseph’s mother.Chanel was the one who had started this rumor. She found a friend and told him about this, and then asked him to spread the word to as many peo
