Chapter 55 Do You Want a Divorce? "You're outstanding young man, Joseph. But why is it that you don't have a partner yet?" Damien askirt with a smile

"I haven't found a suitable woman resonate with," Joseph replied, his (ace going pale. Tamien no longer wished to converse with Joseph. Instead, he started talking about a plece of gossip that shockey Genovia to the con' some time.

From that day omwant, both cougar and homewrecker were unable to continue living in Genovia. "You're right. That woman should've minded her behavior because of her identity. How could she cuckold a famous financier like that?" Joseph's father sighed emotionally. He grabbed a tissue paper and starte dabbing it on his s ly forehead.

"It's bad enough that this young man wanted to ruin his own life, but to think he insisted on dragging someone else down with him... He should be given a death sentence!" Damien picked up his wine glass and shook it lightly.

He seemed like he was in heated gossip. But the more Clarissa listened to him, the more frightened she became Joseph's father, Frank Moore, kept sweating produsely as well. He was a smart man. Clarissa did say she was taking the certified accounting license exam. Coupled with the fact that slie knew Josepli...

Damien was not one for gossip. He wouldn't invite Frank, out of all people, to a business meeting as well. The fact that he chose to mention that gossip right in front of him at a time like this meant that Frank liad done it on purpose.

He was most likely warning Clarissa and Josepla.

Undoubtedly, Damien's plan was extremely effective.

After the meal, Damien and Clarissa left the hotel.

Joseph initially wanted to say something to the latter, but he was scared into submission after noticing Frank's icy glare. "Do you think this isn't embarrassing enough?" Frank growled.

After getting into their car, Joseph asked Frank, "Do you know Damien? How did you know

him?"

"You're forbidden from seeing Clarissa ever again! No matter how much you like her, she's still Damien's woman!" Frank scolded.

"They don't love each other! They'll get divorced sooner or later!" Joseph argued back. "As long as she's not divorced, you're the one who deserves that death sentence! Don't you

realize what Damien meant?" "Why are you so afraid of Damien, Dad?" Frank's face shriveled into one or bitter anger. However, he didn't reply to his son.

When Damien was studying overseas more than a decade ago, Frank had partaken in the incident that frame the former's father. Later on, Damien acquired concrete evidence of his participation, so Damien kept blackmailing himn over the years. That was the reason why a filty -year-old man like Frank had no choice but to act cowardly and submissive in front of Damien the entire time.

Meanwhile, back in Damien's car.

Clarissa didn't utter a word. Her expression was as dark as a brewing storm.

After wrapping her arms around her body, she closed her eyes and pretended to doze olf as an act to ignore Damien.

A question kept plaguing her mind. Why would Damien choose this time to treat the Moores to a meal?

When Promised Fashion Boutique texted her, it had been a Monday. That meant Damien was already planning this disastrous meeting on that very same day.

That day, Madelynn had brought everyone in the company lunch. There were pictures of her shooting her movie printed on the bags containing the lunch boxes. Coincidentally, the location in which she shot her movie happened to be the hospital that Clarissa's mother resided in.

Clarissa picked up her phone and quickly sent Lily a Whatsapp message. 'Did Madelynn go to the company on Monday?' A few moments later, Lily's reply came in. 'Girl, I just dug around for intel from the receptionist. They said Madelynn would go straight to the CEO's office whenever she dropped by!'

Madelynn must have said something to Davien.

Clarissa failed to understand why Damien, the CEO of the New East Corporation, would have so much blind faith in Madelynn's words. It was ridiculous, she couldn't fathom it.

Was it because Madelynn had been his first love? Was that the reason why he would believe everything she said, no matter how idiotic? That day, Clarissa thought Madelynn was seriously at the shooting location. She never expected that the latter would notice her aniidst the huge crowd.

Madelynn must've gone to great lengths just to make Clarissa's life hell. With how hard the former was working, she should be rewarded.

Upon reaching home, Clarissa grabbed her blanket and shuffled to the next bedroom.

Today, Damien had successfully humiliated her in front of everyone.

"Are you heartbroken?" Damien asked coldly.

"Do you realize just how much you wounded my pride? Why didn't you ask me whatever questions you had for me?" Clarissa scethed angrily as she stood firmly in the living room,

"As if you'd tell me the truth!" Damien snarled back mockingly.

"That's right! I won't tell you the truth! I'll just let Madelynn tell you everything on my behalf! Whatever she says is the truth to you, right?!" "Isn't what she said the truth?"

Clarissa was so furious, she didn't know how to respond.

Filled with rage, she knew that Madelynn had only witnessed her and Joseph talking. The woman probably didn't manage to eavesdrop on their conversation. Madelynn most likely told Damien that Joseph grabbed Clarissa's hand. The rest of her story was probably made up and dramatized.

When Clarissa told Joseph that her marriage was valid and authentic, Madelynn probably didn't hear a word of that. Even if Madelynn did, she most likely chose not to tell Damien that.

All Madelynn intended to do was to drive a wedge between Clarissa and Damien, so that they could get divorced soon.

"Try seducing another man in the future, I dare you!" Damien's tone was awfully cold when he issued the final warning to Clarissa.

The word 'seducing' infuriated Clarissa so much, she could only sit back down on the bed while hugging her blanket.

"You're not allowed to sleep in the bedroom next to ours!"

A pair of reddened eyes shot up to glare angrily at Damien. "You tyrant! You're a despicable tyrant! Not only are you selfish and possessive, but you also don't give two flying f*cks to how other people feel!" "Do you want to divorce me this badly?" Damien smiled, though it was one that failed to reach his eyes.

"Of course! I want to escape this prison!" "Dream on!"
