Chapter 461 Their Daughter, Ash

At 10:00 a.m. the next day, they headed to the south side.Clarissa didn’t have a car, nor did she know how to drive. Thus, she took a taxi there.It had yet to rain when she left, but it was drizzling by the time she arrived. She had to squint to see through the rain, and she saw Caleb standing next to Charles. He was taking down notes seriously, and he only glanced at her.Whatever had happened between her and Caleb had gone out as quickly as the fireworks she had set off at Hill Villa all those years ago.Clarissa and the others followed Charles around as he described the plot of land to them. She held an umbrella in one hand and put the other in her pocket.There was a woman in her forties there as well, and she was probably Alex. She didn’t know Clarissa, and Clarissa had never seen her before either. She seemed to be a little distant, seeing as she was the only person from New East Corporation present.“You guys shouldn’t underestimate the south side. It has a lot of potent

Chapter 462 Jealousy Outbreak

“Go on,” Damien said.Earlier, he hadn’t used an umbrella. The light rain drizzling down on him gave him a very romantic vibe, and it also made Clarissa feel a little cold. She kept thinking of holding her umbrella above him.At this moment, however, Damien suddenly couldn’t feel the rain anymore. He thought it had stopped, but he was greeted by the sight of an umbrella when he looked up.His heart rippled. He thought it was Clarissa.But when he turned back, he saw that it was Caleb.He glanced at Clarissa and saw that she was with Charles, listening respectfully as he spoke.Alas, he had been deceiving himself.On the other end of the line, his assistant continued to tell him what had happened.“President Lawrence, you’re going to feel bad if you catch a cold from this rain,” Caleb said when Damien hung up.“Thanks.” Damien strode back toward the group.After a moment, Caleb followed him. Earlier, he noticed the way Clarissa had looked at Damien as he stood in the rain. Per

Chapter 463 None of His Business

What did she do to deserve this?!What right did a nurse like Lucy have to give birth to Damien’s child?Lucy didn’t bother about Madelynn for the time being. She was a nurse, and she had a first aid kit at home. It had scissors, gauze, ointments, and whatever she needed to perform first aid.As Lucy walked toward the first aid kit, Madelynn pounced on her.“I won’t let you take care of his wound!”“Fuck off!” Lucy was enraged.She had a gentle personality, but that was only on the surface. On the inside, she was the tough type and she was capable of anything if someone were to step on her tail.No one had ever dared to tell Madelynn to fuck off. A furious Madelynn held onto the gauze, not allowing Lucy to take it.The little boy’s cries grew even louder when he saw the two adults fighting.“Buddy, don’t cry! Mommy’s right here,” Lucy coaxed him.“You cheap, disgusting wench! You must’ve pulled some dirty trick to get Damien into bed. I’m going to kill you!” Madelynn’s eyes w

Chapter 464 Whatever It Was, the Child Wasn’t His

Damien went to the police station with the intention to see Lucy.Lucy was wearing a prison uniform, and her face was bare. She looked weak and ashen.As a young lady in her prime, she stood out like a sore thumb.“Who does the baby belong to?” Damien asked.The police had asked Lucy the same question when they interrogated her earlier. She claimed she had gotten pregnant after having an affair with someone, but she refused to say who the father was.She and Madelynn got into a fight when Madelynn brought some things to her on Damien’s behalf, and the murder was just an accident.The police guessed that Damien was the father, so they summoned him from Florin and had even had a DNA test done. However, the results showed that Damien and the child weren’t related at all.Damien told them he had asked someone to bring the things to Lucy because he knew that it wasn’t easy for Lucy to raise a child on her own. Lucy had been to his house before, and they could be considered acquaintan

Chapter 465 Split Clarissa and Damien Up

That night, Madelynn’s oxygen tube was removed.When Monica stepped into the ward the next day, her heart sank when she saw that there didn’t seem to be any sign of Madelynn breathing. She touched Madelynn’s body, and found that it was ice-cold. Madelynn’s caretaker wasn’t around either.The doctor said that Madelynn was temporarily out of danger. It had only been one night. How…Was Damien behind this?Monica collapsed to the floor, dumbfounded. Then, she burst into tears and screeched, “Oh, my poor daughter! How could you just leave me behind like this? Oh, Madelynn! What a piece of trash that Damien is…”It was still early, and the nurses hadn’t started making their rounds yet. One of the nurses, as well as a few patients nearby, came in to see what had happened.The nurse quickly checked Madelynn’s body, and apologized to Monica.Monica didn’t buy it. She wanted to lodge a complaint against the hospital for dereliction of duties.Her sobs grew louder. “Madelynn, oh, Madelyn

Chapter 466 The Truth Will Be Out Sooner or Later

Florin.Recently, something big happened at the university.Iris Benson had donated a faculty building to the university.Clarissa was disturbed by the news of Iris coming to Florin. She didn’t expect Iris to find out that she was here so soon!Iris’s father was a knight in Lotharia—this was what Clarissa had found out. She tried to look into Iris’s personal life by going through books and the Internet. It was hard to find out anything about old and prestigious families, which lent them an air of mystery. Things that could be found on the Internet weren’t very trustworthy, as they could all be based on rumors.When Clarissa was in Lotharia, she heard that Iris’s so-called father, Charles, had retired from the entertainment industry. Clarissa had gone to take a look, but she hadn’t managed to even get past the entrance. They had only allowed reputable media companies in.From the very start, there was only one thing that Clarissa wanted to know—why did Iris bear such a heavy grudg

Chapter 467 Throw Caution to the Wind

Clarissa was nervous. ‘Iris really has feelers everywhere! It’s as if she saw these things happen with her own eyes.’“Who’s the father of Lucy’s son?” Clarissa asked.“He’s actually her nephew, and his name is Logan. Her brother died of uremia, leaving behind a lone child. Logan’s the only male descendant of the Fur family, so Lucy has to protect him at all costs,” Iris said truthfully.Damien already knew about this, and Clarissa would sooner or later. There was no benefit in lying to her. If Iris did lie about this, Clarissa would start to doubt her words. Then, Clarissa wouldn’t believe whatever she had said before.This time, Iris told the truth to make Clarissa believe that Damien was ruthless, cruel, and constantly on the verge of breaking the law.Clarissa clenched her fists, suddenly terrified. Damien had a hand in Theresa’s and Madelynn’s deaths, as well as Lucy’s upcoming imprisonment. Just what sort of monster was he?“Miss Johnson, love fades with time. One day when

Chapter 468 I’ll Talk to Her in Person

Clarissa only checked her phone after calming down. It was a WhatsApp message from Chanel.Chanel: [Clarissa, are you free now? I have something to tell you.]Clarissa: [Yeah, I’m at home.]Chanel: [I’ll be there in fifteen minutes.]Clarissa: [Okay.]Clarissa tidied up her place while waiting for Chanel.“Clarissa, did someone drop by just now?” Chanel sniffed around.“No.” Clarissa felt a little flustered. How could Chanel tell?“Why’s there the smell of perfume, then? You don’t normally use any.”“Oh, I got a sample when I went to the mall, so I sprayed it everywhere.” Clarissa didn’t smell anything despite being in the same room as Iris.Fortunately, Chanel didn’t press the matter. She said, “So… Can you ask Damien whether I can do it?”“What?” Clarissa was lost.“You know, the thing about adopting a child. I can do it. I’m divorced, and I don’t plan on remarrying. I don’t have any kids of my own, so I want to foster Logan Fur. Can you ask Damien whether it’s okay?”Ch

Chapter 469 You’ve Been Waiting for This for a Long Time, Haven’t You?

Clarissa had gone to Eden Investment Corporation for a few meetings, but Damien hadn’t been present. Only Alex and Ray were in attendance.Every time Ray saw her, he looked like he had a lot of things to say, but he never mentioned anything to her.One day, Clarissa received news about Genovia’s International Financial Summit. It was going to be held at a five-star hotel in Genovia at the end of the month.Genovia again…She decided to bring two of her students along to widen their horizons. It would help them with their dissertation as well.Lisa and Rem were ecstatic to hear this.“Miss Johnson, Genovia’s a big city. I haven’t even been there before. They’re even providing us with accommodation!” Lisa was excited.Rem was the same.As long as they could go somewhere to experience new things, they would be pretty happy.Clarissa, on the other hand, wasn’t as lighthearted as they were.It was the middle of November when she saw Damien again, at one of the university’s ceremon

Chapter 470 You Know Where My Daddy Reads?

It was Friday, and Clarissa didn’t have any classes. She stayed at home, doing research for her paper.Someone knocked on the door, and she opened it.“Neil?” She was both surprised and elated to see him.When Neil saw her, he immediately hugged her. There was a hint of longing in his eyes, and Clarissa’s heart melted at the sight of him.She bent down and pressed her forehead to his, tears welling up in her eyes. She held them back.Clarissa hadn’t been too bothered throughout the three years she had been apart from him, but she couldn’t let him go now that she had the chance to meet him. This was why she had agreed to watch him when Damien had asked, despite her reservations.“Neil, where’s your daddy?”She was terrified that Neil would end up in a blind spot neither she nor Damien could see.“He dropped me off at the corner of the staircase before going back downstairs,” Neil said.“Oh, that’s good.” She glanced at the staircase. There was no sign of Damien.Perhaps he was
