Love in Twilight

Chapter 384

Chapter 384 One-Track Mind

Clarissa kept Neil‘s photos on her phone. They were much too precious to be deleted.

She tried her best to suppress her longing and curiosity. She didn‘t ask Mrs. Faber for any more photos

If she asked for more, she was sure Damien would inevitably think of more ways to torment her. It

could be even worse than taking nude photos!

And so, Clarissa turned her attention to her studies.

Christmas was just around the corner. The students were given a few days off to celebrate.

Despite the holidays, Clarissa spent all her time studying. She rarely stepped out of her room, and she

didn‘t go back to Merania.

Damien started to wonder whether she didn‘t want to come back, or whether she couldn‘t...

Was she staying away solely because he had told her to leave and never come back? Neil was here,

though. As a mother, could she bear to just leave her child? And... When had she ever been so

obedient?

He started to think. In the past, if Damien ignored her messages, she definitely would‘ve asked Mrs.

Faber what had happened to him. This time, there hadn‘t even been a peep out of her.

Merania didn‘t have any Christmas holidays, so Damien called Lily to his office.

“Tell me what happened the night before Clarissa left the country.” Damien was seated behind his desk,

and threw his lighter on it.

Apart from fear, Lily was also surprised. To think Damien had only thought about asking this so long

after Clarissa had left. “Nothing happened,” she said, a little diffidently. “Penelope made fun of us and

said we weren‘t well–educated.”

“There‘s something else.” Damien stared at her pointedly. “Spit it out, and I‘ll give you a raise to bring

your salary to a deputy director‘s level. I‘ll also promote you to become a project manager.”

As he had expected, Lily‘s eyes lit up.

“Really?” Lily was in disbelief.

“You should know that aside from a person‘s education level, connections also mean a lot. Not

everyone has a one–track mind like Clarissa.”

Lily agreed with this. Clarissa had left the country for so long, and Damien had even had a scandal with

Lucy. This, along with what Damien had said during Neil‘s celebration, made Lily feel anxious on

Clarissa‘s behalf. Moreover, Clarissa warned Lily not to tell Damien a thing about what had happened

when she‘d gotten out of the car.

But even if she couldn‘t solve the problem on her own, it didn‘t mean Damien couldn‘t.

Thus, Lily spilled the beans and told Damien everything she knew about Mr. Black Suit.

“A multipurpose vehicle?” As expected, Damien managed to pick up on something new. “What sort of

multipurpose vehicle?”

“I‘ll send you the photos, “Lily quickly sent them to him. “What else did she say to you?” he asked.

“Nothing. She just said she wanted to leave the country, but I didn‘t expect her to leave the very next

day. It was so abrupt.”

“You can go now.” Damien dismissed Lily. He sent the photos of the vehicle to his assistant and told

him to look into who it belonged to. Lucy’s appearance wasn‘t an accident. The first time, her car had

broken down by the roadside. The second time, she had gone to Hill Villa with Luke and had acted like NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

she and Luke were close. Damien could tell that she was putting on a show for him, that she wanted to

remind him of something. The third time, she explained to him that she and Luke weren‘t dating.

Then, they made headlines.

None of this had happened by accident. There was a huge conspiracy going on.

What was it?

He told his assistant to also look into Lucy‘s recent calls. There was also the issue of Connie. Her luck

had done a complete turnaround, and she was suddenly on her way to making it big.

All of these things were surely connected.
