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

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

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

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

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
