You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 329

Clarissa had never met someone as shameless as Lucas.

The moment he changed his mind and turned to approach her, her heart sank into deep desperation.

Her face paled in fright, but she forced herself to act calm.

“Lucas, if this got out, it would do no good to both of us. If you stop now and leave me unharmed, I won’t do anything to you. But if you go through with this, even if my reputation is ruined, do you think my husband will let you go? Turn and leave now. I’ll turn a blind eye to this. However, if you assault me, I’ll make sure you’ll pay dearly for it. Think about it yourself. Do you choose to believe my words or choose to be a dead man?”

Lucas was still smiling, but he was obviously starting to have second thoughts.

“Ms. Quigley, we both know there’s a third option. We can both enjoy the moment and none will be the wiser the moment we walk out of this room. I’m a good-looking man, and I have good skills as well. Ms. Quigley, don’t you want to have a try? I bet you must be bored with your lavish life. Or else you wouldn’t have become a screenwriter, right? You must be looking for some extra entertainment within the crew. So let me help you with that.”

Lucas talked as if he could read Clarissa’s mind, but the latter just wanted to give him a slap in the face.

“No, thanks.”

Needless to say, one-night-stands were extremely common in showbiz, and Lucas must have encountered it endless times. However, this time, he completely misinterpreted Clarissa’s mind.

He stalked toward Clarissa. Her perfect face appeared to be more attractive with those cold-looking eyes. At that moment, he could no longer resist the desire to conquer a woman with such quality.

I bet she’ll submit to me once I f*ck her. Women are all the same, after all. They may deny it but their hearts actually crave for this. The case is especially true for women that look tough on the outside.

Noticing the resolve in Lucas’s gaze, Clarissa realized her persuasion had failed. As Lucas took another step toward her, she whipped around and started running toward the door. Alas, there was no way she could outrun a fit man. Just before her hand could reach the doorknob, Lucas had pinned her against the door and started to molest her.

Right at that very moment, someone knocked on the door heavily.

“Ms. Quigley, open the door. Are you alright? Ms. Quigley…”

It was Hilda. She was whispering for fear of disturbing the others. Startled by the voice, Lucas was stunned place while Clarissa hurriedly opened the door. She jumped into Hilda’s embrace before bursting into tears.

Hilda darted a wary glance at Lucas, who was still inside the room, looking extremely awkward.

“Ms. Quigley, are you okay?” She asked, worry evident in her tone.

After a few moments, Clarissa managed to recollect herself, and she glared coldly at Lucas. By that time, Lucas had also regained control of his expression as he put on a fake smile.

“Ms. Quigley, I’m sorry for bothering you so late at night. I really benefited a lot from your advice on the character. Thanks so much. Well, I’d better leave now.”

With that, Lucas stepped out of the room and walked past the two ladies. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Just as he passed, he added, “Ms. Quigley, I really had a good time discussing with you. I hope you feel the same.”

After Lucas had disappeared from their sight, Clarissa wandered back to the room before her legs gave out, and she slumped to the floor.

“Ms. Quigley, are you alright? What did that b*stard do to you?”

After catching her breath for a few seconds, Clarissa said with a trembling voice. “Thank the heavens you’re here in time.”

“Mr. Tyson was the one who called me and asked me to come…”

“I see…”

Hearing that, Clarissa remembered that she was in the middle of a video call with Matthew when Lucas appeared.

She rushed to her phone and saw that Matthew had not hung up, but his background had changed.

“Hubby, I’m fine now. Where are you?”

Even though Matthew looked as calm as ever, there was a dangerous aura emanating from his low voice.

“Wait in the room and let Hilda accompany you. Don’t go anywhere before I arrive.”

Upon saying that, he ended the call.

Clarissa felt a chill in her heart, for she knew that this time, Matthew was pissed for real.

At the same time, she felt safe and relieved, knowing that Matthew was on his way here.

In the past, when they hadn’t gotten together yet, he would always rush to her side whenever she was in trouble.

It seemed that nothing had changed.

After Clarissa hung up the phone, Hilda started to express guiltily, “I’m sorry, Ms. Quigley. I actually ran into Lucas when I was on my way back to my room. I should have guessed his intentions then. Please, forgive me for my lack of thoughts.”

Clarissa shook her head right away. “It’s not your fault. Who’d have thought he would dare to do this?”

“I’ve read from a lot of gossip forums lately, which mentioned that a young idol was doing pillow business. There are rumors that he got into showbiz with help from those rich women and even rich men. I didn’t believe it when I first read them. But now that I think about it, the young idol mentioned must have been Lucas. I can’t believe he had the audacity to come after you! Isn’t he afraid that you would end his career?”

Clarissa only shook her head slightly, unable to give any response. Even though she tried to act calm in front of Hilda, she was still in great shock and fear.

As a matter of fact, her tough facade was on the brink of collapsing.

Hilda noticed how troubled she looked and decided not to drag on the conversation.

“Ms. Quigley, it’s very late now. Why don’t you try and get some sleep? Mr. Tyson will need some time to get here. Don’t worry, I’ll stay here on the couch. You’re safe now.”

Clarissa was too overwhelmed to sleep at the moment, but she noticed the exhaustion on Hilda’s face. Thus, she nodded and headed to her own bed.

As for Hilda, she dozed off the moment she lay on the couch.

Laying on the bed, Clarissa kept tossing and turning on it, unable to fall asleep.

It was around midnight when Matthew finally reached Clarissa’s room.

As soon as he knocked on the door, Clarissa jolted from the bed and rushed to the door while Hilda rubbed her eyes groggily.

The second Clarissa saw Matthew, she threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly. At the same time, her tears flow freely, slowly soaking his chest.

Seeing how fragile she looked, the hostile aura Matthew was emanating temporarily faded into thin air.

Without a word, he carried her before walking into the elevator, heading to another room upstairs.

Hilda, who was still half asleep, did not realize that Clarissa had left with Matthew.

Inside Matthew’s embrace, all the fear left Clarissa completely, and she felt like she was in the safest place in the world.

After a long while of silence, she finally opened her mouth and whispered meekly into Matthew’s ears.

“I don’t want to see that man ever again.”

She would never forgive someone who tried to take advantage of her.

If it wasn’t for Hilda, who came to the rescue, she would have been raped by him.

Thus, there was no way she would let Lucas get away with this easily.

Matthew held the back of her head with one hand while he stroked her back with the other, comforting her. A dark look flitted across his eyes before it disappeared completely.

“Okay,” he replied in a low voice.

Clarissa held onto Matthew’s neck tightly and gave him a peck on the lips. After that, she closed her eyes and was finally able to relax.

“How about Damian? If he doesn’t see either of us tomorrow morning, he will definitely cry.”

“Don’t worry. I’ve prepared a lot of his favorite food for him. Besides, Ellie will also go to accompany him.”

Clarissa smiled faintly. “You’re spoiling him with food. If he gets used to it, it would be hard to discipline him later. Not to mention you’d lose your stateliness as a father.”

“It’ll be fine. Besides, it’s your job to discipline him, while mine is to pamper him and you,” Matthew replied.

Clarissa chuckled lightly at that before she gave a long yawn.

Matthew carried her to the bed and gazed at her with great affection.

“Go to sleep now, Darling. Good night.”

He planted a deep kiss on her forehead and hugged her tightly as though she was a treasure he could not afford to lose.

“Good night.” With that, Clarissa fell asleep in Matthew’s embrace.

With Matthew by her side, all the fear and trauma she had vanished into thin air.

Matthew lay beside her and closed his eyes. However, his mind was as clear as ever as he started to formulate a revenge plan.

Whoever is dumb enough to lay a hand on my woman is destined to be doomed.

Meanwhile, on the other side, there was a sudden knock on Lucas’s room.

He abruptly ended his call and went to answer the door.

Before he could recognize who the person was at the door, he was knocked out by a heavy punch. He staggered backward before he slumped to the floor.

Two unidentified men carried him into his room. They scanned through the room and started fiddling with the place.

The next morning, the entire crew had arrived at the site early, getting ready for the shoot. However, as time ticked by, Lucas was still nowhere to be seen.

The director and the other actors were getting furious. They started to contact Lucas’s agent and assistant, but neither of them could be reached.
