Love In Twilight By Tiny Mountains Chapter 357

Chapter 357 Making Fun of Her Bachelor’s Degree Penelope welcomed Clarissa and Lily in a friendly

manner at Ornate Square. As expected, the pearl necklace was missing from Clarissa’s neck today.

Penelope didn’t ask Clarissa any questions.novelbin

They chatted while walking across the square, “Over there is the CEO of Guerilla Films. That’s his wife

standing next to him. His wife’s a major player in the industry, you know? Not only is she a real estate

tycoon, but she’s also a PhD holder who graduated from Damwood University. That woman is the

heiress of Spire Corporation. Her background’s even more impressive; she’s a valedictorian who

graduated from Jaires University. She’s a powerful career woman who doesn’t need any man in her

life. Then, that’s Mr. Gremnel from Funmedia. His wife may not have a profession, but he still entrusts

all of his money to her. The reason is because his wife is a professor at the University of Finance.

Nothing can escape her attention when it comes to money. Aren’t they amazing?” Penelope introduced

those people to Clarissa as if she was trying to prove a point.

Clarissa started to understand the reason Penelope invited her here.

Penelope would only make fun of one thing when it came to Clarissa; her bachelor’s degree in the past

she did the same, and now, she continued the tradition

Clarissa just smiled at her as if she wasn’t affected by the introduction at all

“By the way. You know Dennis Peterson, right? The guy whose wife cheated on him and attempted to

murder him? She’s carrying her sentence outside of jail right now because of her pregnancy.” Clarissa

knew that very well, so she nodded

“His wife’s just a college graduate. What an unsavory woman!” Penelope commented in disgust

“Looks like we aren’t suited to attend this banquet since we’re so uneducated. Everyone else outranks

us here.” Lily knew what Penelope was trying to do as well. The latter did her best to make fun of

Clarissa and Lily’s educational background

“What’s wrong?” Penelope seemed like she finally caught on to Lily’s statement. “Hmm? What does

this have to do with you guys?”

She looked very innocent as if she wasn’t talking about them at all.

Clarissa pinched Lily’s hand silently. It was a hint for Lily to stop talking like that, because it would make

her out as an unseemly woman.

As expected of someone who came from a family that owned a movie company. Penelope was an elite

actress, that was for sure.

Her look of innocence was screaming ‘I was just gossiping about someone else, so why would you

think I was talking about you?’

After that, Penelope pretended to realize what was going on “Oh, you thought I was talking about you?

No, no! Clarissa’s the woman that supports Mr. Lawrence from behind. She’s a wonderful woman on

her own merit.”

The underlying meaning was very clear; a bachelor’s degree holder was the one supporting the great

and esteemed Damien Lawrence this entire time. Clarissa would be looked down on by everyone else.

Lily originally intended to look for any inovie or drama producers that were interested in working with a

game company so that she could look for opportunities on Landon’s behalf, but Penelope’s b*tchy

words made her lose all interest in carrying out that mission,

Once they left the banquet, Clarissa looked very thoughtful.

“Lily, do you know that I want to go for my master’s degree in Emmeria? I want to go so badly, but I’m

scared that Damien won’t give me permission to do that,” she said.

Since Lily was also dissatisfied by her own educational background, she related to Clarissa’s wish very

strongly. “I think you should go for it if you have the chance. After all, we’re in our early twenties. We

still have a long way to go in life. We can’t be sure that Mr Lawrence wouldn’t find himself a new

partner in the future.” Lily sounded quite dejected. “You wanted to fly overseas for your higher

education, but your hopes got dashed because of your son.” “I’m fine now. I want to go overseas, but

I’m afraid that Damien won’t let me, so I don’t have the courage to bring it up to him.”

“I can’t help you decide as well. You should think about it on your own.” The two women strolled on the

sidewalk slowly. Despite Penelope’s nasty ulterior motives, what she had said was still correct.

Clarissa knew the truth all along.

At that moment, a luxurious business car suddenly pulled up right next to the women. A man got out of

the car and stopped right in front of them.

Neither Lily nor Clarissa knew who that man was. His gangster-like appearance scared their wits out of

them.
