You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow
Chapter 77

"Oh, what's the matter? Are you crying because of heartbreak?"

When Amanda saw Clarissa crying, she not only didn't comfort her but sneered at her and even wished that everyone could see this scene.

"Oh, what's the use of crying? Kenny from our department is still fond of you; why don't you be with him instead?"

Clarissa wiped away her tears after hearing Amanda's nasty words as she couldn't ignore them anymore.

"It's alright if you are dumped. Kenny won't mind your past with the rich guys..."

"Amanda!"

Clarissa lost her temper. It was unlike her to argue with others, but she couldn't stand it anymore. Besides, she was only human, not to mention she was in an extremely foul mood at that moment.

She retorted rudely, "Do you really have to slander around? Who told you that I hooked up with rich guys? Why don't you be with Kenny instead if he's such a nice guy? Don't think that I don't know what kind o people both of you are."

"Clarissa, how dare you be this rude to your senior? Do you have a death wish?"

"Yes, this is how I talk! By the way, do you even look like a senior? All you do is gossip behind others' backs, make false accusations, and take advantage of others. You'll be kicked out of Tyson Corporation sooner or later for someone lousy like you."

"You b*tch! How dare you say that?" Smack!

Amanda was so enraged that she wanted to slap Clarissa, but Clarissa attacked first.

The crisp sound of smacking stunned everyone.

After a brief silence, Amanda pounced on Clarissa like a crazy woman, and Clarissa was tugged by the hair and beaten up.

The office turned chaotic. After the colleagues had separated them, Mr. Gardner rebuked them with a somber expression. Then, it was up to Joyce to decide what to do with them.

Amanda, who kept crying, gained everyone's sympathy, but Clarissa put on a sullen expression instead. Hence, it was evident that the majority had sided with Amanda.

Amanda was a senior employee and was friends with many other colleagues. Although Clarissa was good-looking and popular, she rarely attended the company gatherings and appeared to be an arrogant person, so she was disadvantaged in this situation.

"Joyce, I was only expressing my concern when I saw Clarissa crying so pitifully. But not only was she ungrateful, but she also attacked me with ugly words and even hit me. Joyce, since we knew each other for a long time now, you know that I can be careless with words but without any evil intentions, and you know that I'm popular in the company..."

Joyce scowled as she understood what Amanda meant.

She looked at Clarissa with her usual stern expression. "Clarissa, you've crossed the line by using violence. This is a workplace, not a playground-don't bring in your emotions. However, I can see that you're slacking too, and the company doesn't need anyone like you. Like I told you before, you're still under probation, but you don't have to come to work anymore since this happened."

Clarissa knew that she was fired.

But Amanda, on the other hand, looked smugly at the beautiful slap print on Clarissa's face.

"Any last words?" Joyce asked.

Clarissa only looked at them. What else can I say?

"All right, if there's nothing else, I will inform the human resources department about you leaving today."

When Clarissa turned around and left, Amanda smirked evilly.

No one came to comfort Clarissa when she was packing her things, and she immediately felt that humanity was frighteningly cruel.

Since she came and went without bringing anything with her, she left Tyson Corporation quickly without her remaining salary.

After returning to the apartment, she called Jane, but the chief editor didn't answer.

Clarissa smiled coldly. So what if I can't prove Elsa's plagiarism? I can't let myself be bullied.

She immediately posted the incident between her, Elsa, and the Twilight Company online.

As she only had nearly a million fans, this wouldn't go viral, but it was enough to make trouble for Elsa.

After that, she posted her draft and part of the content saved on her computer.

Sure enough, Twilight Company was prepared for it. They soon attacked her inconsistency and lack of evidence and charged her for adding things. They even accused her of being ungrateful toward the company by quitting her job.

To rub salt in her wounds, they blamed her for selfishly claiming the benefits of the company's collaboration with Justin Yates Studio.

They also found out scandals such as her hooking up with a famous actor in the film studio a long time ago and had gone through a scene for the award-winning actress to shoot a television series for her work How can I win over those die-hard fans by myself?

She was attacked by nasty comments all at once and was baffled by the ugliness of humanity. In fact, Twilight Company even twisted the truth about the car accident.

They claimed that Clarissa abandoned her friends after the accident just to hook up with a certain Mr. Harrison from D City, and it was said that he had cheated countless women. Since Clarissa had hooked up with him and had benefitted from him, she left her company to build her career.

The internet was a vast world, but those who hide behind the scenes were often the easiest to be incited by others.

Clarissa's comments and posts under Twilight Company's column were bombarded fiercely by haters and the authors who held grudges against her.

So Clarissa only hid in her house and raged with anger upon seeing those hate comments.

Since it was the assistant of Justin Yates Studio who managed the official account, she was enraged by the false accusation of her relationship falling apart with Twilight.

Nonetheless, she was still affected by the hate comments directed to her social media account, not to mention that they framed her as an ungrateful person.

Therefore, she made a statement directly through the official account in a rage: First of all, I will not intervene in the matter between Twilight Company and @clarissa.quigley. Please do not sensationalize it by using Director Yates's name. Secondly, the collaboration between Justin Yates Studio and Twilight Company was transparent and had nothing to do with @clarissa.quigley.

Although the statement sounded neutral, it was apparent that Justin Yates Studio had intended to work with Twilight Company instead of @clarissa.quigley. Thus, it overturned the accusation of Justin's intentions of using @clarissa.quigley's novel.

Why would Director Yates use my novel if others thought that they are better than me?

After the post, Clarissa became the viral topic, and it made Justin rise as the pride of the nation and a star in showbiz. Moreover, since the post was from Justin Yates studio, it was as if Justin posted it and had nothing to do with @clarissa.quigley. Hence, Clarissa became notorious.

This disgusting b*tch deserves death.

Her whole family should perish...

This slut even dared to sleep around.

I'm @clarissa.quigley's reader. She used to show off the number of men she slept with, and they're all from well-to-do backgrounds. She even slept with the president of the production company, and this must be why her lousy writing could be adapted to film.

I can prove that @clarissa.quigley is a slut. Since she's ugly, she never posted pictures of herself. After getting rich from sleeping with other men, she went through plastic surgery and planned to reveal her post-surgery look after breaking up with them to appear as a pretty writer. Let's see how she can survive now that she's been found out!

Boycott @clarissa.quigley!

The overwhelming malice was all directed at Clarissa, which was more severe than last time in the studio. She was trembling fiercely, but she had nowhere to vent.

How can human beings be this cruel?

This was her last post after so many malicious attacks. After that, she turned off her mobile phone, disconnected the Internet entirely, packed her things, and left D City directly to return to her hometown. Her grandmother, Catherine was shocked to see her.

"Why didn't you tell me you're coming back?"

Clarissa smiled thinly and shook her head. "I'm a little tired. Grandma, I'll go rest first. I'll wake up by myself, so you don't have to get me." Without waiting for her grandmother's answer, she went to her room, locked the door, laid on the bed with her head covered, and cried softly. Feeling something was up, the old lady sat down and sighed.

Don't I understand my granddaughter? She will suffer everything on her own and not tell anyone. After crying, she'll move on with a smile. This is my strong granddaughter, but there's still no one to protect and love her.
