You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 387
You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 387
Clarissa and Matthew did not have enough time to delete the video.
Before they could react, the video was already spreading like wildfire.
As such, if they proceeded to delete it, it would just seem as if they were feeling guilty.
When Clarissa saw the video, the first thing she did was to inform Matthew.
“Let’s keep it. I’ll confront her with this next time. It’ll be a slap to her face.” Clarissa was enraged.
Matthew nodded in understanding and at the same time, he got the Tyson Corporation’s legal team to make preparations.
Perhaps, as netizens had already witnessed the prowess of the company’s legal team from previous experiences, they did not dare to post malicious comments about Clarissa in the newest video, where Hilary accused Clarissa of being a cold-blooded and selfish woman.
After all, legal action had been taken against all those who had joined in to scold Clarissa previously, and that had forced most of them to the brink of bankruptcy.
As such, it was definitely not a joking matter to be taken lightly and those who had some common sense would not involve themselves in the matter.
The comments section was strangely quiet. No one dared to speak ill of Clarissa outrightly. There were only one or two comments that subtly showed support for Hilary.
The majority of the netizens were waiting for the truth to be revealed.
Ellie arrived at Zen Highlands once she received news about the video. When she saw what was going on, she could not help but laugh.
“Clare, this has to be the quietest comments section I’ve ever seen! It’s so ridiculous that it feels almost like a joke…”
It could be so quiet either due to the netizens’ bad experience with the company’s legal team previously or their indifference, but Ellie still found it funny regardless of the reason.
Clarissa shook her head rather helplessly and said, “What’s so funny about it?”
Ellie pursed her lips and replied, “I’m not the only one who finds it funny! Take a look…”
The woman passed her phone to Clarissa. Indeed, there was someone who left a similar comment.
“I suddenly realized how much the internet needs Mr. Tyson. It feels so untainted now, without trolls, keyboard warriors, or anyone spreading rumors. It’s filled with so much love and sensibility!”
“Haha… the original commenter is spot on! It’s the first time I have come across such a sensational video having such a quiet comments section. It’s really funny, isn’t it?”
“Yeah! Mr. Tyson should totally be the ambassador for internet purification.”
“Can anyone afford to hire him?”
“Mr. Tyson, we need you to restore the purity of the internet!”
As no one dared to comment on the video itself, they could just ease their urge to do that by making unrelated remarks like that.
However, they seemed to have gotten on a roll, creating a joyful atmosphere in the comments section.
Even Clarissa could not help but let out a wry smile as she shrugged and returned Ellie’s phone to her.
“It feels like they have nothing better to do.”
Ellie laughed gleefully and leaned on Clarissa, unable to sit up straight.
“It’s all because my Uncle Matt is simply too amazing. He has even become the ambassador of internet purity! My Uncle Matt is so noble!”
Even though Clarissa rolled her eyes at Ellie, she could not help but smile as well.
It did, in fact, sounded quite noble.
However, that nobility could be just enough to infuriate some people.
Just as Clarissa expected, the peace on the internet was almost driving Hilary nuts.
Hilary had even tried to hire professional internet trolls to smear Clarissa. However, when those internet trolls knew what their task was, they rejected it instantly.
The leader of that team of internet trolls was imprisoned for a long while for smearing Clarissa the previous time.
Even though he returned to his original trade after his release from the prison, he learned his lesson and became more selective of the tasks he took on.
As for any jobs related to Clarissa, he will never take it up even if it cost him his life.
What happened to that leader had spread throughout the industry. While he was in prison, he had also befriended the leaders of other internet trolls syndicates.
As such, it would be impossible for Hilary to succeed in finding any syndicates who would be willing to smear Clarissa.
Hilary’s initial plan was to make use of netizens’ malicious comments to pressurize Clarissa, which would be more effective than legal means.
However, she had failed terribly at that and she did not have any outlets to vent her frustrations, Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
If she did not even manage to carry out that first step in her plan, there was no way she would be able to proceed further.
Meanwhile, hell had broken out in the Garrett family because of Hilary’s actions.
Zach did not expect Hilary to fall out with Clarissa. He was still intending to rely on Matthew to get some benefits.
However, the families had fallen out before he could establish a good relationship with Matthew. Zach wished he could give Hilary a tight slap. She was indeed the black sheep of the family. He could hardly believe that the woman had created such havoc.
Zach realized that Hilary was not at home when he tried to look for her. Not only that, at the same time, he had also realized that most of her belongings were missing.
A second later, Zach received a call from a lawyer.
“Hello, is this Mr. Garrett? I am Madam Bowen’s lawyer. She had appointed me to handle your divorce matters as well as issues related to your joint assets…”
Zach smashed his phone on the floor instantly when he heard that.
Yvonne, who was browsing on her phone, got a shock when she heard the noise and looked up.
Letting out a scoff, she said, “Dad, has Hilary fallen out with us? Ha! Haven’t I warned you that she’ll show her true colors sooner or later?”
“Shut up!”
“Sheesh! Why are you venting on me? It’s not me who married a vicious woman… Oh yeah, did she also ask to split your assets?”
Zach was fuming with rage as he yelled, “How did you know?”
“It’s not that hard to guess. Since you chose to be with that woman, you should know what kind of person she is. Don’t you know that she’s with you purely because of your money? If that’s the case, wouldn’t the answer be obvious?”
“Shut your mouth up!”
Zach was almost choking on his rage and his expression appeared to be even grimmer after being exposed by his daughter.
“Get lost! Why are you always idling at home? You should quickly find yourself a man and get married. Look at how useless you are! You can’t even get a boyfriend…”
Yvonne had been getting scoldings from Zach ever since she broke up with Mason. As such, she was already used to it.
The woman stood up with a sneer and replied, “You are the one who can’t even keep your woman, why are you venting on me? I think you’re really getting older and more muddle-headed. Maybe it’s time for you to hand over the company to me…”
Yvonne’s words were simply adding fuel to the fire. Before Zach lost control of himself and hit her, she quickly escaped.
Right after she got away from her dad, she texted her friends to tell them about what her stepmother did.
That woman thought that she would be able to get rich by divorcing my dad. She even had her eyes set on the company but she can just dream on. The company is mine. She’s just a mistress. Who knows how many men she had before my dad… And who cares if she falls out with Clarissa?…
Hilary went into hiding and found a place to stay for the time being. She had also contacted Jonathan to badmouth Zach.
“You don’t even have a share in the company… Mom would definitely snatch the company for you…” Hilary rambled on.
Jonathan hated hearing such words and was glad that he was overseas. Otherwise, he could not even imagine how annoyed he would be at Hilary.
However, he was not aware of the trouble his mom had created for Clarissa. The boy had thought that she was purely distressed over her divorce and splitting of assets with Zach.
“Mom, I have no comments regarding your decision to divorce dad. However, I am not interested in the company at all. It is not even ours, to begin with. You should stop thinking about it. Even if I don’t get rich, I’m sure we will have enough to get by. I’ll make sure we don’t go hungry. Mom, you…”
Before Jonathan could finish talking, Hilary interrupted him. “What are you saying? Let’s stop talking about it. Jonathan, you’re still young, you won’t understand me. OK, just focus on your studies and don’t worry. Mom will visit you when I succeed.”
Hilary scoffed after she ended the call.
The woman had decided to go all out. She had emptied all her savings to hire the best divorce lawyer in the country. Other than that, she had also collected a lot of dirt on Zach over the years. If Zach refused to give her the company, she would destroy him using the information she had.
Perhaps due to her vain and materialistic nature, Hilary had the foresight to keep some money for herself. She did not part with her savings even when she was being blackmailed by Judy previously.
As for Shermaine, Hilary did not place much hope on her. However, even though she was quite useless, she was still one of the Smallwoods. Given the family’s wealth, if Hilary really needed money in the future, she could still get some from Shermaine.
Hilary had really staked her all. Instead of secretly harboring feelings of resentment and feeling aggrieved, she had decided to take action to achieve her goals. If she was not able to succeed, she would still make sure that she made life difficult for those who were in her way, for instance, Zach and Clarissa…
However, her first attempt to create trouble for Clarissa had failed.
But that was not the only plan she had. Clarissa, you want to be Mrs. Tyson? I’ll make sure that your husband divorce you sooner or later!
Hilary had intended for that first video to go viral for about one week. However, it barely lasted for one day before people stopped talking about it.
As such, the next day, the woman posted another video.
It was still a video of Hilary talking. She was sitting on a couch in a hotel and facing the camera. In the new video, she was no longer crying but was speaking calmly instead.
“Clary, since things have already progressed till this stage, I won’t mind even if you are angry at me or resent me. I won’t be holding back anymore as I am deeply hurt by you. No matter what, I am your mom and you have the obligation to take care of me. All these years, have you shown any concern for me? Even if we don’t talk about feelings, let’s talk about money. You have not been giving me any allowance ever since you started working.
When I’m older, I’m relying on you to take care of me. Also, I am in the midst of divorcing my husband. He has been physically abusing me for a long time and I can’t take it anymore. As such, my life would no longer be as easy as before. On account that I am your mom, I hope that you can take pity on me and spare me some money. Besides, your brother is only twelve and he’s still studying.
Given your status as Mrs. Tyson, I’m sure you can afford to support both of us. However, it’s OK if you are unwilling to do that as I believe that I will be able to get what I deserve through legal means. To all the netizens who have been following the saga between my daughter and me, you can say anything you want about me.
It’s all my fault for not teaching my daughter well. I only have myself to blame that my relationship with my daughter is so strained. It’s all my fault. God must be punishing me now. I lost my parents at a young age and married a man who abuses me. And now that I’m approaching old age, my daughter won’t even support me. I… boohoo…”
