Semua Bab Love in Twilight: Bab 691 - Bab 700

It was dark, so Damien didn’t drive too quickly. Clarissa and Bethany sat in the backseat.Clarissa asked anxiously, “What exactly happened? Why did Caleb get fired?”With Damien around, Bethany felt embarrassed to say that it happened because she had manipulated Caleb into sleeping with her. Thus, she texted Clarissa instead.Bethany: [I called his dorm, and his roommate told me it was because he slept with someone outside of the base. They felt that there was an issue with his attitude.]Clarissa: [That’s it? I don’t think that’s necessary.]Bethany: [Whatever it is, this is one of the reasons. It’s all my fault. I’ve ruined his future!]Clarissa: [Don’t be so glum. We’ll see what the situation is like when we get there.]However, what was going on in Clarissa’s mind was: Caleb had dropped out of university because of her. Now, he had been fired from the army because of Bethany. Were they bringing misfortune to his life?Caleb’s place was quite far from Damien’s house. Despit

Bethany felt bitter. She remained silent for a long time.“Can we go talk about this at a place that operates round-the-clock?” she asked Clarissa. She also asked Damien, “President Lawrence, can I borrow your wife for a while?”He knew they wanted to talk about Caleb. There was plenty of space at Hill Villa, but Mrs. Faber was there. If they tried to stay away from Mrs. Faber, she would only be more suspicious. Thus, he said, “Okay. I’ll drop you guys off at a club that is open 24/7. It’s very quiet there.”“Thank you so much, President Lawrence.”Clarissa knew what he meant by this. He didn’t trust her to be on her own in the middle of the night. What if she ran into some hooligans?Damien made a call, then dropped the two of them off at a high-end club. The server led them to a private room that was warm and cozy. The sofa was large enough to act as a bed for them, and it even came with a thick blanket. Clarissa was a little sleepy, so she flung herself onto the sofa and covere

When Clarissa arrived, Cindy was still angry. She didn’t want Clarissa to know that Connie had spent the night at Caleb’s house, though, so she said mockingly, “My, what brings the great Miss Johnson here?”“Connie slept with Caleb. He doesn’t like her at all, but she insisted on sticking around. Do you know how embarrassing that is? Tell her to come back at once! They’re not good for each other, so you’d better do something about this,” Clarissa snarled angrily.Cindy immediately felt disgraced. She didn’t know how Clarissa had found out about this despite her efforts to keep it under wraps. Clarissa had even made Connie sound so shameless!She spat out, “You’d better stop with that nonsense, Clarissa! Just because you’ve latched onto a rich guy, doesn’t mean you can go around badmouthing my daughter. Do you feel proud of yourself? Let me tell you something! My Connie couldn’t care less about that penniless Caleb! Even if she is interested in him, there’s no way I’d allow them to b

When Damien came home, Clarissa told him about Bethany wanting to help Caleb get a job. Clarissa also told him she was afraid Caleb would turn the job down if she was the one who brought it up to him. After all, he was still resentful toward her about the dissertation.“Okay.” After that, Damien called Caleb.He told Caleb he had to go for the interview as a favor to him. He also asked, “Are you still together with Connie?”“No,” Caleb said seriously.“What really happened last night? Did you sleep with her?” Damien couldn’t stand Connie as well.After a long silence, Caleb said, “No. I was doing that to spite Bethany.”“That’s good. Don’t hook up with her now, or ever. She’s just leading you on, and she’s mixed up with another rich guy. Don’t fall for her tricks and regret it in the future.” In fact, Damien knew very well Caleb had done it to spite both Bethany and Clarissa.After that, he hung up.The next day, Caleb went to Tempest Investment—the company Bethany’s friend, Aa

They walked into the office. Rebecca turned the lights on. The place was of moderate size, and it had all the things an office needed.“Since Clarissa’s the one recommending you, I won’t interview you. I trust you, so don’t let me down, alright? Save my number, and I’ll send you the details of your job later,” Rebecca said. She pulled her phone out to take Caleb’s number down.Caleb sat down and read through the tasks Rebecca had assigned to him while she and Clarissa chatted. They talked and laughed, mentioning names like “Howard” and “Hannah”.Then, Clarissa turned to look at Caleb. “Are you done? We can get going if you are. You’re fine starting work tomorrow, right? I’ll think about what to tell your mother—she’s bound to find out about this.”She seemed like a kind, caring, older sister. Caleb nodded.“Alright, then. You two can get going first. I need to send someone a few emails now. I’ve dragged them on for too long,” Rebecca said.“We’ll leave you to it, then.” Caleb and
