You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow
Chapter 410

Pregnant?

Therefore, they were pursued by the paparazzi the moment they left?

Unbelievable!

The netizens were not worried for Clarissa. Instead, they were more concerned for the paparazzi.

They almost cost the life of a mother and child. How can they do this?

Furthermore, their actions were directed at Mr. and Mrs. Tyson.

Who gave them the courage to do so?

Naturally, the paparazzi were innocent.

How are we expected to know that Mrs. Tyson is pregnant?

If we had known beforehand, we wouldn't even have dared to do what we did.

However, it was too late for them to proclaim their innocence, especially the few that rammed Matthew's car on purpose.

They would definitely be charged in court. In the face of Matthew's fury, there was no escape. Hence, they would likely be given a severe sentence.

The netizens sympathized with the paparazzi.

However, there were others who felt they deserved it.

This isn't the first time something like that has occurred. How could they commit such a dangerous act?

Is a scoop more important than a life?

However, there were some idiots who thought nothing of it since no one got hurt. Why are they reacting so ruthlessly?

Furthermore, they felt that Matthew was being small-minded. He was obviously using his money and influence to exact revenge on them for doing their job.

When Matthew saw such idiotic comments, he decided to use his wealth and power to deal with them.

The idiots who made the comments received legal notices on the same day itself. They even lost their jobs, but it was too late for regrets.

Meanwhile, Clarissa was resting at home, oblivious to what was going on outside, let alone the fact that Matthew was infuriated. She lamented what had happened, given how hard it was for her to go out in public.

Is Matthew going to forbid me from ever going out?

Hugging her pillow, she had a blinking contest with Damian.

"Mommy, Daddy says that you aren't allow to go out."

Damian had repeated the same a few times.

Frowning, Clarissa pinched her son's chubby face.

"Damian, I'm bored to death. Can't I even send you to school? I won't get out from the car..."

"No, Mommy. Daddy says that you have to protect my sister. That are a lot of bad guys outside. So, you can't risk it."

"They won't dare do it anymore. Daddy has warned them."

"No... Mommy, you have to behave."

Just like an adult, Damian stroked Clarissa's cheeks to comfort her.

"Alright, Mommy. I have to go to school now. Stay home and be good. When I finish school, I'll come back and accompany you...."

With that, Clarissa watched Damian leave happily for school.

She felt as if she was the one being left at the daycare center.

Hence, she pitied herself for her predicament.

Meanwhile, Shermaine got out of bed and headed for the bathroom. When she finished her shower, she wrapped herself in a bathrobe and sat on the sofa languidly, surfing her phone. "Pregnant?"

With her eyes glistening, Shermaine snorted, "She really is lucky!"

Lady luck has always smiled on her. Not only is she pregnant, but she also survived a car accident unscathed.

When the man in bed heard her snort, he sat up and grabbed the cigarettes on the bedside table. Lighting one up, he began puffing away.

In the midst of the cigarette smoke, the man let out a devious smile.

"What is it? Who has gotten on your nerves? Besides, how can anyone be more fortunate than you are? You had once masterminded a murder and yet, could still rise from the ashes. In fact, you have even become an inspirational role model. Hahaha... This is hilarious..."

Shermaine glared at the man. "Is this a joke to you?"

"How can it not be? Babe, not only are you more adept at manipulating others than me, but you also have all the right ingredients to be successful. Therefore, I am confident you will go far!"

Furrowing her eyebrows, Shermaine didn't like how he was talking about her.

"Shut up, I'm not your babe."

"Oh? What are you afraid of? No one knows about us." With an indifferent expression, the man got out of bed naked. He walked up to Shermaine and lifted her chin to kiss her. However, Shermaine turned her lips away in contempt.

In response, the man tsk-tsked before heading to the shower.

When the man emerged from the bathroom, Shermaine observed his devious expression and felt that it was a shame.

Despite the insidious look on his face, Shermaine found him to be undeniably handsome.

And that was how he was able to spellbind the girls he met. After all, women loved bad boys.

However, he was a truly unscrupulous man who philandered without remorse.

"What are you looking at? Are you mesmerized by me?"

Wrapped only in a towel, his muscular body was laid bare. He walked toward her and grabbed her waist to pull her closer.

However, Shermaine pushed him away to get dressed. "Stop fooling around. It's time to go."

The man complied with a smile.

However, after they were done dressing, Shermaine returned to the topic.

"Gary, I may look glamorous now, but I feel on edge all the time. It's a terrible feeling to have."

Gary smiled as if he wasn't surprised at all.

Putting his arm around her shoulder, he leaned closer. "Therefore, what is that naughty mind of yours planning?"

"The Smallwoods. I don't know how much I can get from them out of all these. As a precaution, I would like to transfer their money."

"Of course, it's really easy to do it. In fact, you can even do it yourself. Why do you need to tell me? Go on. Stop beating around the bush. Given what I've done on your behalf, I would be an idiot if I still can't read that crafty mind of yours. So, you can drop the act and be upfront with me. I love devious women. The more insidious you are, the more it turns me on."

Shermaine shot Gary a coy glance. "Clarissa already has a son and now she wants a second child. Don't you think she's being too greedy? As for me, I have yet to have any."

"Oh? If you want a child, I can give you one."

"B*stard."

"Haha... calm down. Do you intend to kill her child?"

"Do you have a way?"

"No, I don't."

Despite Gary's candidness, Shermaine still harbored some hope. "In that case, you should think of one!"

"No, I won't do it. That's beyond what I'm willing to do as I don't want my descendants cursed. Think about anything else other than killing the child. I may be evil but kids are off-limits. I'm fine with altering a DNA report but not physically harming kids. Do you want me not to have any in the future? You naughty minx, think about something else."

"Cursed descendants? Gary, since when have you become so superstitious? Of all the evil deeds you have done, which one wouldn't cause your descendants to be cursed?"

The moment Shermaine finished, Gary slapped her all of a sudden. Gasping in surprise, he pinched her by the chin.

His expression changed from one that was willing to give her the world to one that was ruthlessly cold.

Ignoring the fact that she was grimacing in pain, he warned her, "Although I am evil, I have my principles. Furthermore, I still want children. So, quit playing games with me." Even though Shermaine staggered backward the moment he let go, Gary stared at her mercilessly.

"Now, what do you want?"

Regaining her composure, Shermaine tidied her hair in a dignified manner still. After that, she was still able to smile.

"I want Clarissa to suffer."

"Mmm-hmm... That's acceptable. But there are many ways to do accomplish it. Tell me again once you have decided how. For now, let's go..."

Wrapping his arms around Shermaine, both of them walked out intimately as if nothing had happened.

The moment they stepped out of the hotel, Shermaine broke off and kept her distance.

"That's all for now. I'm leaving."

Looking at the empty space Shermaine had left in his arms, Gary smiled. "Alright Babe, I am always amazed at how good your acting is."

Ignoring Gary's sarcasm, Shermaine put on her sunglasses, cap, and mask before scanning her surroundings. Once she was sure the coast was clear, she got into her car and drove off.

As for Gary, he squirmed his lips and smiled. Whistling to himself, he too left in his car.

By the time Shermaine reached home, it was already late. Unexpectedly, James was still awake.

The moment she entered, James walked out of the study and asked her, "Why are you back so late?"

"Daddy, haven't you gone to bed?"

"No. Where did you go?"

"Oh, I just met some friends. They're all from the entertainment industry. We were discussing investing in a new drama."

James nodded. "Remember not to overwork yourself. You have to juggle acting and managing the company's investments. You will fall sick if you overstretch yourself."

"Don't worry. I know where to draw the line."

"That's good. Anyway, I heard that Clarissa's script is highly popular. Why don't you replace an opportunity where both of you can collaborate? It would be a good chance to put the past behind you. After all, both o you are quite like sisters and there's no point in prolonging the standoff."

Shermaine smiled slightly. "Dad, I share your sentiments. I'll work on it then."

"That's good to hear. Shermaine, it looks like you're the sensible one; your mom is really stubborn. So, don't listen to the nonsense she is spewing..."

"Dad, I understand."

James was relieved at how prudent Shermaine's reaction was.

Patting her on the shoulder, he smiled, "Shermaine, you have really matured now. I'm proud to have you as my daughter."

Deeply touched, Shermaine returned his smile. "Dad, I'm proud to be your daughter too."

Both of them gazed emotionally at each other.

However, neither could really see through each other's thoughts.
