Chapter 203 Divorce Paper Mrs. Cole made some dumplings with tofu and vegetable filling for

Clarissa. The dumplings reminded Clarissa of Damien’s favorite tofu dumplings. She had promised to

make them for him today, but alas, she was unable to do so. “Mom, what’s wrong?” Clarissa asked

Theresa.

“Damien didn’t come?” Theresa asked Clarissa.

“Yeah. He had a cold and couldn’t go to work today.”

“When you go home, you should make some ginger tea for him. He’ll be fine after getting some sleep.

It’s good he’s not here. I have something to tell you.”

“Your brother called several times. He said he wanted to get engaged, but his girlfriend Emily

demanded five hundred thousand dollars as security. I’m worried sick,” Theresa explained with a frown.

“five hundred thousand dollars?!” Clarissa instantly lost her appetite.

“Yes. He says Emily’s pregnant. Honestly, I don’t really like Emily. It feels like that woman’s just using

him, but now, she’s pregnant. What are we going to do?” Theresa was anxious.

Anyone who encountered such a crisis would try to stay away from it. Sometimes, even capable people

might run into highly embarrassing family situations. Clarissa froze, shocked. If this was in the past, she

would still have money in hand and could help. But now, she had returned all the money to Damien.

It wouldn’t be a good look for Clarissa to ask Damien for money again, especially for Luke’s sake.

Damien might see Clarissa as a burden. Anyway, Clarissa couldn’t possibly beg for money from him.

“Can you let Luke ask Emily if it’s okay to pay less?” Clarissa asked Theresa. “Here’s the problem.

Emily said she’d abort the baby if we gave her a cent less! This baby is the Johnson family’s…”

Theresa tapped her fingers on her table, looking like she was at a complete loss.

Clarissa was stunned as well, not knowing what to do. She was too young and inexperienced to deal

with such a situation.

“I know, Mom. I’ll go home now.” Clarissa was a little anxious, feeling down.

“Okay. Don’t tell Damien about this yet. If you tell him, he’ll think we’re trying to get more money from

him. It’ll definitely affect your relationship. Oh dear, I never thought Emily would use the baby as

blackmail…” Theresa was muddle-headed, unsure of what to do.

“I know.”

“Also, I was talking to your grandmother today. Your aunt said your uncle’s calf has muscle atrophy.

Surgery’s going to cost money.” Then, Theresa burst into tired tears.” Oh! A family like ours…”

“We’re not obligated to pay for his surgery.” The sudden influx of problems was giving Clarissa a

headache.

“Yes. I hope Connie will earn more as an assistant to a big star. Besides, your aunt doesn’t work.”

Clarissa fell silent. Before her mother woke up, there wasn’t as much trouble.

She had no idea that someone was following her after she left Theresa’s house. The stranger gagged

her from behind, causing Clarissa to lose consciousness.novelbin

When she woke up again, she found herself in an abandoned warehouse. She sat in the corner, and

realized that her hands and feet were restrained.

Clarissa’s first thought was that she had been kidnapped. Then, she saw Connie standing in front of

her with a stack of papers in her hands. Next to her were two handsome men

“Connie?” Clarissa was puzzled.

“That’s right, Clarissa. Did you expect this?” Connie continued menacingly, “I invited you here today

because I need a favor from

you.”

“Is this how you’re going to ask for a favor from me?” Clarissa shot Connie a cold glare.

Clarissa could’ve resolved this trouble herself. All she needed to do was tell the two men around

Connie that she was Damien’s wife. She would order them to subdue Connie and pay them however

much they wanted.

However, Theresa had just told Clarissa that her uncle needed money for an operation. Recalling that,

Clarissa became soft-hearted. “How dare you talk to me like this in this situation?” Connie glared at

Clarissa, eyes filled with hatred. She wanted nothing more than to slash and ruin Clarissa’s beautiful

face, which had always been superior to hers.

As Clarissa grew up, she became so much better than Connie.

“What’s the matter? Say it.” “Listen to that tone of yours!” Connie wanted to give Clarissa a few slaps,

but she was afraid that Damien would sense that something was wrong. In the end, she didn’t dare to

do anything.

“This is a divorce form. Everything’s been written for you. You just have to sign it, and you’ll be released

unharmed.” Connie shoved the papers to Clarissa.

Madelynn had stayed up for three nights to draft this divorce form for Clarissa, ensuring that Clarissa

would receive not a single advantage from the divorce.
