Have you been cheating on me:"the woman suid lartly as she calmly wrappela towel around herselt. "What an you talking about, Em This is my sister, she works at New last Corporation, and her husband's Damien Lan!lce, rich guy." Lulie's tone was bitter he was still holding a grudover Clarissaliaving taken 1,000 dollars from him, and he was determined to get Revenge this time
"Do you love your clothes on?' need to go to my room to pack some things," Clarissa said awkwardly, still standing with her back cowanitlem.
"Alv, if it isn't Mrs Lawrence! Why do you still need to take anything from here? Can't you just buy yourselt some new fur coats or something? You're so frigul, you don't seem like the wite of a rich man." Luke's girltriend, Emily Green's words were getting more and more bitter by the second Charisse was puzzled by this Emily turned to luke. "Didn't you say that Damien's grandfather was sick? No matter how ! look at it, your sister looks like a nany that Damien lied!"
The mouson why she was being so harsh wasn't because of Luke', but because Joseph lada crush on Clarissa. In turn, Emily had a crushi on Joseph
"Sis, an'n't you supposed to be pregnant? You don't look like it at all. Don't tell me you lied to me last time, just to convince me that you and Damien weren't in a contractual marriage. Il you (wonin an actual marriage, there's no way he wouldn't even buy you some clothes and make you come back here to get some. Where's the money you took for my nephew Give il bachilome!" Lukie held out a hand.
"Since you're so convinced that I'm in a contractual marriage, vou should know that Damien's assets have nothing to do with me, so I don't have any money. You can go and run your mouth
off to his grandfather again. See whether he'll believe you." Clarissa walked toward her room. Emily started mocking Clarissa again upon seeing her limping. "I never would've expected the mighty President Lawrence to marry a cripple." "I'm going to have to correct you on that. She probably just sprained her ankle. She's a normal person, and Damien wouldn't be so blind as to overlook that," Luke said. Luke had mentioned Clarissa's situation to Emily a few times. He knew he wouldn't be able to get a single dime out of Clarissa, let alone Damien. Thus, he tried his best to make things hard for Clarissa, "Oh, no! I've sprained my ankle as well, hubby..." Emily shamelessly pretended to twist her ankle. "I want you to hold me!"
"Here I come!" Luke walked over to Emily and pulled ber into his arms.
Clarissa ignored them, pretending not to see them. She started packing her clothes. "Will Damien treat you like this? Honestly, don't blame me for looking down on you. You're nothing but a nanny that he hired. Not only do you have to pretend to be his wife to his grandfather's face, but you also have to take care of his grandfather. These rich people really have a lot of tricks up their sleeves," Emily mocked. "How much does he pay you each month, 3,000 dollars? Is it for you to get your mother a caregiver? You've sold yourself for less than you're worth, you know. Look at how well your brother treats me!" Luke knew why Emily was being so harsh, but he didn't point it out. After all, her words were his exact thoughts. "Yeah, call Damien if you have the guts! See whether he'll come to carry you downstairs now that you've sprained your ankle. Besides, you're already his wise. It'd be a disgrace for you to still be wearing your old clothes." Luke took a drag of his cigarette, his attitude harsh. "Go on, call him," Emily piped up, parroting Luke. Clarissa didn't know why Emily kept pushing her to call Damien, but it was obvious that they were up to no good. She ignored them.
More importantly, she didn't dare to call Damien because she knew he wouldn't come. Besides, she didn't want to cause him any trouble. Just as Clarissa was done picking out her clothes, her phone rang. It was Damien.
