Chapter 33 Acting Coquettish Is Tried and Tested

Damien called his subordinate to inquire about Clarissa’s mother’s condition.

He also specifically asked his assistant to look into what happened on the day Clarissa decided to

marry him.

The assistant said that Clarissa’s mother had a buildup of phlegm in the lungs that day. Thus, Clarissa

needed to pay 60,000 dollars in addition to the hospitalization fee.

Initially, Clarissa refused to marry Damien, but she later agreed to liis proposal, Damien finally knew the

reason for her sudden change in attitude.

She needed the money.

Clarissa had no affection for him, so she was not playing hard to get. Damien was a little disappointed

to know this. However, there was one thing that Damien did not quite understand. He had given her

about 300,000 dollars, excluding 180,000 dollars that he transferred to her in a lit of anger. She had

more than enough to pay for the 60,000 dollars hospitalization fee. Moreover, Damien also promised

that she would get no less than five million dollars after her job was done. So, why did she ask him for

the extra one million dollars? Was she just greedy?

At three o’clock in the afternoon, Clarissa came back.

“How is Lily’s mother’s cooking?” Damien sat on the sofa and casually asked Clarissa.

The excuse that Clarissa came up with for her absence today was that she went to Lily’s house for

dinner.

Lily lived in the suburbs of Genovia and went liome every weekend.

“It’s delicious!”

“Oh? what kind of dishes did she cook?”

“Huh?” Clarissa did not expect that Damien would care about such trivial matters. “Fried chicken, steak, Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

egeplant parmigiana, and some other home-cooked dishes.” Damien stared at her. “Clarissa, don’t you

know that your nose will grow longer if you lie?”

“Huh? I didn’t lie…”.Clarissa’s eyes began to flicker, and her red ears betrayed her.

“It’s not a shameful thing to visit your mother, so why didn’t you tell me about it?”

Damien was probably very disappointed with Clarissa, so he went upstairs.

Clarissa froze and thought, ‘How did he find out? I told Joseph that Damien was my husband, but

Joseph probably didn’t know about mom’s hospitalization. Could it be that Joseph asked Luke about

it?’

At that thought, Clarissa felt a chill in her heart. She sent Luke a WhatsApp message.

[ Did you come to my house?)

Clarissa did not reveal her current situation and spoke vaguely to test him. If Luke had not looked for

Damien, he would definitely say that Clarissa was weird.

( Sis, your house is huge! I’ve never seen such a big villa in my llsc. I asked Damien for money, but he

wouldn’t give me any. Why don’t you give me a million dollars? One million should be nothing to a rich

wife like you. ] When Clarissa saw this, she was furious and replied. (Get lost! ] It seemed that Luke did

come to extort Damien. Clarissa suddenly felt very guilty and remorseful toward Damien. She threw her

bag aside and went upstairs to find that Damien was changing his clothes. Clarissa suddenly hugged

Damien from behind and pressed her face against his back. Since their disagreement last time,

Clarissa knew that acting soft and coquettish was the way to go. “What’s this for?” Damien asked. His

voice was much softer than before. Clarissa hugged him. This kind of flesh-to-flesh touch was very

comfortable. “You found out about my family?” Clarissa asked. “Your brother told me everything.”

Clarissa also knew it. She thought, ‘Luke was indeed here and had extorted Damien.’ “Just ignore him.

Even I ignore him. I’ll apologize to you on his behalf, okay, Hubby? I’m taking the exam soon. After I’m

done with the exam, I’ll stay at home with Grandpa every day.” Clarissa felt the heat from Damien’s

body. It was quite comfortable, so she subconsciously fawned over him. “You’ve learned to beg for

mercy now, huh?” “Well, it is my fault after all…”

“You’re not going for training anymore after the exam?”

“Mhmm.”

“Finish the exam as soon as possible.” After that, Damien took a step forward and put on his shirt.

Clarissa also understood what Damien meant. If she finished the exam sooner, she could stay away

from Joseph sooner.

Clarissa suddenly felt empty after Damien left. She felt that Damien disliked Joseph. After all, Joseph

caused so much trouble for this arrogant President Lawrence

Clarissa also felt that it was better to finish the exam sooner.
