Female Novel
Love In Twilight By Tiny Mountains Chapter 169
Chapter 169 Clary
On the second day of the holiday season, Luke and Emily dropped by just after lunch.
Luke wore an obsequious look..
Emily, on the other hand, kept looking around the luxurious villa.
“Mom, I‘m here to see you. I went home yesterday, but the door was locked, so I figured that you were
at Clary‘s house. This is my girlfriend, Emily Green.” He introduced Emily to Theresa.
Luke‘s gaze swept over his surroundings. He didn‘t see Damien or Clarissa around.
Theresa didn‘t like Emily. She felt that Emily‘s looks were a little too seductive, and no mother–in–law
would like a daughter–in–law like her. Furthermore, Emily‘s eyes were
sweeping around everywhere. She seemed to be the type who would never be satisfied with what she
had.
However, Theresa wasn‘t the type to make things tough for her children.
She hadn‘t raised Luke right, and she had spent the past six years in a coma. What right did she have
to talk bad about someone else?
“Nice to meet you.” Theresa gave Emily a small gift.
Theresa‘s money came from Clarissa.novelbin
Emily accepted it, feeling disdainful.
Others gave expensive gifts during their first meeting. Here Theresa was, giving her something so
cheap.
“Where‘s Damien?” Luke glanced around. When he still didn‘t see Damien, he asked Theresa about it.
“Probably upstairs, in the study.”
Without another word, Luke went upstairs.
Theresa lifted a hand to stop him, but Luke didn‘t even look at her.
She sighed. She definitely hadn‘t raised him well. He was so very rude.
Upon seeing this, Emily felt even more disdainful of Theresa.
Luke knocked on the door to Damien‘s study.
The human resource department had sent Damien the list of appointments and dismissals for the year,
which he was currently going through on his computer.
“Luke?” Damien was surprised.
He didn‘t like Luke, but Luka had his uses.
“Damien!” Luke left the door ajar.
Clarissa was reading in the bedroom when she heard noises coming from downstairs and the study.
She felt that someone had come to visit, so she walked out of the bedroom to take a look
As she passed by the living room, she heard the conversation going on inside.
“Damien, the place you gave me is great. Everything‘s fine, but the maintenance fee is a little high,”
Luke said.
“Someone will pay the fee for you, so you don‘t need to bother about it.” Damien had his chin on his fist
as he continued to scroll through the document on his computer.
“That‘s great.” Luke heaved a sigh of relief.
This was his main objective for coming. How could he possibly afford to pay ten thousand dollars a
month for maintenance?
“Oh, right. I didn‘t manage to tell you about the thing with Joseph before Easter. Are you satisfied with
it?”
Clarissa‘s ears perked up. They had to be talking about Joseph and Nicole.
“Make sure to tell me these things beforehand,” Damien said coldly.
“Alright.” Luke continued, “I was the one who laced Joseph‘s drink, but he still suspects that Nicole was
the one who did it since they were in the same office. Nicole already had a crush on him to begin with,
so this was right up her alley. Joseph doesn‘t suspect me at all.”
It turned out that Damien hadn‘t set Joseph up. He hadn‘t known beforehand.
Damien didn‘t say anything.
When Luke walked out of the study, he almost ran right into Clarissa.
She was standing there dazedly, still thinking about what she had heard. At that moment, Damien
came out as well.
“Were you eavesdropping?” he asked.
“I...” Damien had always been this blunt. She didn‘t know how to answer him.
She had been throwing a tantrum for so long. To find out now that he didn‘t have anything to do with
the whole matter, she couldn‘t help feeling guilty.
“Clary, come here,” Damien said, beckoning toward a different direction.
“Huh?” Clarissa responded instinctively at the mention of her name.
“Don‘t be so narcissistic. I wasn‘t calling you.”
It was the cat! Clarissa fell silent.
When she went downstairs, Luke and Emily had already left.
