The Vengeful Son-in-law
Chapter 492

Tom's smile became more and more bitter when he saw that Roger walked to Clarissa. He glancedat Phoebe and found she was looking forward to what would happen. Tom had to hold back hiswords and prayed in his heart that Roger would not be able to invite Clarissa over, or that Phoebewould not realize Clarissa had known him.

Roger walked towards Clarissa with his head held high. He was confident that he could successfullyinvite Clarissa over because he was powerful and had met Clarissa before.

At this time, several people were surrounding Clarissa and asking Clarissa to dine with them, butClarissa declined with a smile

Roger was completely amazed by Clarissa when he got close to her. His heart beat faster and evenhis breathing quickened. He tried to calm down, but he found it difficult to do it. Clarissa wasbeautiful and noble, and was even more charming than the last time they met.

"Well, Miss Brown, hello.” Roger walked up to Clarissa and greeted her with an awkward smilenervously.

Clarissa nodded politely to him and smiled back.

Then Clarissa looked away and didn't talk to him anymore.

Roger was a little embarrassed, but he didn't give up. Instead, he cleared his throat and continued,"Miss Brown, I'm Roger, the general manager of XG Group. I want to invite you to have dinner withmy friends and me, and could you sign an autograph for my friends, please?"

Clarissa shook her head and said apologetically, "Mr. Shear, I'm sorry. I have something else to do.I'm sorry that I can't have dinner with you. But I can sign an autograph for your friends if they comehere."

After hearing this, Roger frowned. He had said in front of Tom and the others that he coulddefinitely invite Clarissa over, but he was refused, and he would lose his face.

If she was not that popular, he would have forced her, but Clarissa was a superstar, and he couldn'tafford to offend her. He asked more humbly, "Miss Brown, it won't take you much time. My seat isover there. My fans are your friends, and I promised them to invite you over. Miss Brown, I will begrateful if you agree!"

However, Clarissa was not moved at all. She smiled apologetically. "Mr. Shear, to be honest, I'vedeclined all the invitations, and it'll be unfair if I agree to yours. Mr. Shear, I hope you canunderstand. You can ask your friends to come to me.”

Roger frowned. He looked back and saw that Violette and Chloe were looking at him. And Phoebe'seyes were full of expectation, which made him more determined. He continued, "Miss Brown, to behonest, I have promised my friends that you will have dinner with us. If you refuse, I will lose face,please do me a favor, Miss Brown."

Clarissa still shook her head. "I'm really sorry. I can't. Mr. Shear, why don't you bring my autographsback to your friends? I will sign for your right now."

"Well..."

Roger was being impatient. If Clarissa didn't come with him, he would definitely be laughed at byTom!

There were other big bosses who were refused by Clarissa, and they all looked at Roger withmockery and felt that Roger was overestimating himself.

Roger felt even more uncomfortable when he noticed their eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "MissBrown, well, I have a friend who is terminally ill. She came to Alice's restaurant this time just to seeyou. But it was convenient for her to come over, so could you please come with me to meet her forher sake!"

After Clarissa heard this, she hesitated again and asked, "Where's your seat?"

Roger was overjoyed to hear that. He quickly pointed to his seat. "It's right there. It's only two stepsaway."

Clarissa followed Roger's fingers and saw a familiar figure. Suddenly, her eyes were lit up! Her bodytrembled and even her breathing stopped!

At this moment, the noisy hall suddenly quieted down. In her world, all the voices and all otherpeople disappeared, and she could only see that man!

Tom, Mr. Howard!

It was him!

Clarissa's eyes widened in an instant. She was completely surprised.

Roger was stunned to see her expression. He didn't understand why Clarissa had such a reaction.Was something wrong?

As he was about to ask, Clarissa came back to her senses. She took her eyes away from Tom, and abright smile suddenly appeared on her face. At this moment, she was much more pretty than anywomen present.

Her smile was so charming.

Roger looked at Clarissa in a daze. Not only him, but everyone around her was deeply amazed byher smile and forgot to breathe.

"Okay, I'll go with you and meet your friends.” Clarissa said with a smile. Her joy could hardly beconcealed. She was glowing like a goddess.

Roger finally came back to his senses. He was excited and he nodded quickly, "Good, good, good!It's my honor! My friend will be very happy!"

The bosses around them were shocked. They couldn't figure out why Clarissa was willing to acceptRoger's invitation. They were envious and regretful now. They thought they should have said thatthey had a friend who was terminally ill too. It seemed Clarissa was really a kind person whosympathized with the weak, just as what was posted on the Internet.

Roger also thought that Clarissa was kind and tender. He was now very excited and proud. Helooked at the bosses with disdain, and led Clarissa over with straightened back.

He tried to speak to Clarissa, but he found that Clarissa was not very enthusiastic. He was ignoredand embarrassed, so he stopped talking. But he thought that he could show off in front of Tombecause he successfully invited Clarissa over, and he was especially excited.

Tom's eyes fixed on Clarissa. When he saw Clarissa was coming over, he felt bitter.
