Chapter 151 Your Husband’s Not Dead Yet, What Are You Crying About?

Damien soon entered the office.

His hand was in his pocket, and he was here to take some documents for the meeting.

This time, he was having a meeting with the newly-staffed finance department, alongside other

departments as support.

Even though the company had gone through a reform, Damien still had to clean up the mess Howard

left behind and calculate next year’s budget.

It seemed the meeting would drag on until midnight.

The moment he entered the office, he saw Clarissa standing there with a face filled with tears.

“I’m not dead yet. Why are you crying?” he asked. Then, he walked toward Clarissa and wrapped his

arms around her shoulders.

Clarissa shoved his hand away.

“I can’t believe you’re the one behind this!” Clarissa exclaimed.

At first, Damien thought Madelynn had compressed the video and sent it to Clarissa through Whatsapp

“Yeah, so what?” Damien didn’t like her demeaning tone one bit.

“How dare you!”

“Like I say, so what?” While speaking, he headed to his desk for the documents.

He glanced at the laptop screen, and noticed the messages by Luke.

Damien was in the conference room when Luke sent those. Since his meeting was ongoing, he didn’t

have the time to look through his messages.

He shifted his gaze at Clarissa and left a sarcastic remark. “I see now. You‘re crying because of

another

man.”

“Why?! Why do you have to do this? What exactly did Joseph do to get on your nerves? Is it because

he has a crush on me? We didn’t even do anything inappropriate together!” Clarissa shouted at the top

of her lungs.

Damien grimaced. “I don’t like him.”

‘There are a lot of people you don’t like! That doesn’t mean you can kill them off one by one!” Tears

stained Clarissa’s clothes as she blurted out the words,

What exactly did Joseph do that was so wrong?!

Damien gritted his teeth furiously, veins bulging on his forehead.

“Don’t cry for another man in front of me!” Damien was irked.

“You’ve ruined his entire life!” Clarissa didn’t care how much Damien disliked Joseph. He still shouldn’t

have destroyed his life with such petty means!

“Do you feel bad for him?” Damien glared at her.

Clarissa didn’t respond.

“Let’s file for a divorce!” After she calmed herself down, she continued, “I don’t want to be with a man

with no morals!”

There were a lot of things Damien did that sounded wrong to her.

Just now, Damien seemed to have only realized what Clarissa was talking about right after seeing the

laptop screen.

By intuition, Clarissa realized that they were talking about two different things moments ago.

What was Damien hiding from her this time?

What had he been doing behind her back all this while?

Now, Damien had tarnished Joseph’s name to the point of no return.

What would he do if he lost interest in her one day? Would he sell her off to some perverted men?

“You dare to ask for a divorce?” Damien looked at her with cold eyes. “Back then, the only reason you

agreed to marry me was because of money. Now, you’re leaving for another man? Is it because I can’t

satisfy your needs anymore?”

Clarissa looked up silently, trying to stop her tears from flowing.

All this while, she thought he actually loved her.

“Fine, then! But remember what we agreed upon! I have the upper hand when it comes to filing for a

divorce!” Damien exclaimed.

Clarissa was left speechless.

All of a sudden, it dawned upon her that this wasn’t all about herself. She still had an important factor to

consider, and that was Damien’s grandfather.

After he grabbed his documents, he pressed on her chin and lifted it up. “I’ll go back to my meeting

now. Before I come back, you’d better think this through!”

After that, he left.

Clarissa didn’t know what Damien was hinting at.

It wasn’t as if she caught him cheating, or that she had done anything that indicated his betrayal.

She was annoyed by how Damien treated Joseph, the person who had helped her before.

What would happen to Joseph after this?

If Joseph sued Damien, the court would’ve accepted the case.

Damien hated the notion of Clarissa crying over Joseph.

The more he inflicted harm upon Joseph, the more it affected Clarissa.

Damien was unsettled by her reaction.

‘Luke, that idiot! Why would he send that message when Clarissa was there?’ he thought angrily.

Clarissa couldn’t stay in his office a minute longer. After she calmed herself down, she returned to the

audit department.

Clarissa was in a daze for the entire day. Even when Janet was asking her about some work-related

matters, her responses were vague and lacked attention to detail.

“Why are you so down when we‘re about to get an award?” Janet asked.

“An award? What award are you talking about?” Clarissa immediately came back to her senses.

“President Lawrence has been thinking of firing Howard for a long time. He wouldn’t have done it

without the audit department’s efforts. That’s why he’s giving us an award right after Easter!” Janet said

as she compiled the documents in her hand,

Clarissa was stunned. She didn’t know that the audit department was aware of Damien’s intentions to

fire Howard. After all, she was in the dark about this until Janet informed her of it.

Luke, meanwhile, was convinced that he had done a great service for Damien. Now that Joseph and

Nicole were deeply embroiled in a scandal, Damien wouldn’t have to worry about Clarissa falling for

Joseph anymore.

Today, Luke had planned to show off his achievements to his relatives.

He sent a message to a Whatsapp group called ‘My Happy Family’.

Luke:[I’ve established an important connection at New East Corporation. Let me know if you need help

in finding a job there.)

The group, ‘My Happy Family’, was created around six years ago. The members were all his aunts and

cousins from the entire family tree.

In total, there were around ten people in it.

The reason they didn’t add Clarissa in there was because she still didn’t have a phone when they

created it. After she got a phone, Clarissa had already cut off all contact with them. So, there was no

reason for them to pull her into the group

Normally, Luke’s cousins would brag about their achievements in life within the group. For example,

they would brag about how they got a promotion, increased salary, and others. All of which made Luke

feel depressed about not being able to achieve much in life.

After he received Damien’s help, Luke was proud of himself. After all, New East Corporation was a

globally recognized conglomerate.

[Luke, is it true that you know someone important from New East Corporation?]

Luke didn’t expect someone to reply to his message.

That person was none other than Connie Hale.

Luke: (Yes, I do. He’s a big shot.)

Connie: (Let’s talk in private.)novelbin

So, Connie messaged Luke through his personal number.

Since her grades weren’t good, she had only managed to opt for a degree in Marketing at a local

university. After she graduated, she landed a job as a salesgirl at a local paper mill company. Since she

was an average student whose family had no power and status in society, she didn’t go far in terms of

her

career path.

For a woman with big dreams, she didn’t want to waste her life away in Pentatone County.

Connie: (Luke, I want to work at New East Corporation’s Marketing Department. Do you happen to

know anyone there?]

Luke: [Marketing Department? Sure, just wait for the good news. By the way, please don’t tell Clarissa

about this.)

Connie knew that the siblings didn’t have a good relationship with each other ever since they were

young.

Connie: (Don’t worry, I won’t tell her about it. Where should I live if I were to work at Genovia?)

Luke: [You can live at my house. I’ve just bought a new house. Clarissa’s living with my mom at our old

one.)

Thinking that she was about to start a new life at Genovia, Connie was elated. Knowing that Clarissa

couldn’t even buy a house of her own, Connie was sure that Clarissa was leading a mediocre life right
