Love in Twilight by Tiny Mountains novel Chapter 553

Clarissa couldn’t help feeling that Damien wasn’t too happy. Perhaps it was because she hadn’t come home to see him.

“You’re so petty!” she muttered once Neil was asleep.

“Just be straight if you’re looking for trouble,” Damien said calmly.

She thought, ‘What’s he thinking about? Does he think that I want to…’

She ignored him, and turned her back to him.

When Joseph saw that Clarissa had transferred money to him, he was lying on the bed. That night, he had gotten himself drunk.

He wasn’t in love with Penelope. Clarissa had always been the one in his heart, but they weren’t meant to be.

When Penelope came out of the bathroom in her pajamas, she happened to see Joseph’s phone on the bedside table. The screen had yet to dim, and she saw Clarissa’s transfer to him.

She was already upset with Clarissa for disrupting her wedding, and her blood boiled at the thought of Clarissa contacting Joseph in the middle of the night.

She grabbed the phone and threw it at Joseph. It left a scratch on his forehead.

“What are you doing?!” This woke Joseph up. He sat up immediately, furious.

“How dare you ask me what I’m doing! I want to know what this vixen is up to. She’s suddenly back here after three years of nothing, and she’s been causing trouble for both of us. She was the one to spread that rumor about your father and Iris Benson, whoever that is. Your mother was furious, the whole wedding was ruined, and now, she’s contacting you in the middle of the night. You’d better give me an explanation, Joseph! My father didn’t give me to you for you to bully me.” Penelope turned her head away, tears welling up in her eyes. “Why didn’t Clarissa just die abroad?”

“How the fuck can you be so venomous? Anyway, am I the one who asked you to marry me? You’re the one who refused to leave me alone.” Joseph was mad as well.
