You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 41

The face of the traffic police contorted when he heard Clarissa’s words.

“Miss, I was just trying to understand the situation happening here, and I did follow the protocols. How did you know I was not interrogating this sir over here before? Mind your words, missy. We do everything fair and square around here, you hear me?”

“Pretty gal, the police’s being fair. Don’t insult their work for no reason!”

The man in the white sports car hollered out loud. He had his arms around a pretty maiden. The onlookers at the scene were also stirring.

Clarissa wanted to retort, but Jane hurriedly held her hands and dragged her to one side.

“I’m so sorry, sir. My friend here is a bit antsy at the moment. Feel free to ask away! We’ll give you our cooperation.”

“Alright. Who’s the driver? Can I have your license? Also, you will have to take a breath test for alcohol…”

Tessa treaded nervously to the police. The poor girl was on pin and needles. She answered the police’s questions before taking a breathalyzer test and handing over her license to the police.

After obtaining all the information he needed, the police then examined the track made by the car before making a judgment.

However, before the traffic police could say anything, a few policemen pulled up in their vehicles. Immediately, they got into a deep discussion with Luke, as if Clarissa and the rest did not exist. From few yards away, Clarissa could vaguely hear the mention of some ‘uncle’ and a certain director.

Meanwhile, Tessa’s eyes were turning red. She was beginning to signal for help from her colleagues.

“What should I do? Ms. White, help! I don’t want to go into jail. My family needs me and they probably can’t bail me out too! I…”

“Beanie, don’t be scared. Don’t assume that it’s our fault. That said, I have no idea who’s at fault. Tiger, you have been driving for a long time, right? Can you tell who’s at fault just now?”

“You’re asking me who’s at fault? Clarissa, have you yet to understand what’s happening here? We are done here! The police’s words are final. If they put the blame on us, then we’re the wrong ones here. Look at how obedient they are to that guy! Nothing we say will save us! Damn it! Why are we so unlucky? If only we didn’t have a welcoming party for you.”

Bruno was beginning to grumble for being dragged into the mess, especially since the car Tessa was driving belongs to him.

He blamed everything on Clarissa and Tessa. But before long, his yammering was cut off by someone else.

Although Bruno was finally quiet, his words had struck home. Everyone was finding someone to relegate all the blame to. Such was the nature of humans. No one ever wanted to be wrong.

It went without saying that Clarissa ended up absorbing all of the blame.

Clarissa was, of course, disgruntled. Now, aside from a crying Tessa and a silent Jane who was now making a phone call, the rest of the people were in low spirits. No one uttered a word.

Clarissa suppressed the displeasure in her and spoke, “Even if the traffic police give in to pressure, I don’t trust at this age of the Internet we can’t make this go viral.”

“Pfft, you want this to go viral? Do you think they would let this incident go viral so easily? Oh, what a naive child you are, Clarissa!”

“Then, what other options do we have now? Don’t you guys think that the traffic police will deem us to be at fault no matter what? Why don’t we just wait for them to be done with their investigations before making any claims?”

Right after Clarissa finished talking, the traffic police came over.

The leader of the bunch announced to them sternly the conclusion they had arrived at.

All of them had mixed feelings after listening to the police’s statements.

Apparently, most of the blame lay on the driver of the sports car, but Tessa was also wrong too. Fortunately, the severity of Luke’s mistake was greater.

It was a fair judgment, but now there was another issue.

Clarissa and the rest had to compensate Luke for the damages they caused.

It was already a misfortune that they had gotten into an accident, but as if they weren’t unlucky enough, the car they crashed into was Luke’s expensive sports car.

While Clarissa was thankful for the fact that the traffic police remained unbiased even when under the influence of the wealthy, she still dreaded the compensation that came next.

The lot of them stood at the same spot for around half an hour. Within that period of time, Luke went from disgruntled to patient and relaxed. Now, he was just in an upbeat mood to watch as Clarissa and her colleagues get flustered over the hefty compensation.

Feeling bored, Luke and his men approached Clarissa to tease her.

“Hey, pretty gal, what’s your name? You don’t sound like you’re from D City. How old are you?”

“Your name’s Clarissa? What a sophisticated name! Sounds angelic to me. Come and do a little dance or something. Entertain us!” “Phil, I didn’t know you have a taste for sophisticated names!”

“Yeah, Phil, I thought you are more interested in women with sophisticated figures? Hahaha!”

The men were beginning to get over the top with their sleazy talk. Some of them were even trying to pull Clarissa closer to them.

Jane, being the leader of the bunch, quickly smiled and tugged Clarissa back towards her. “Guys, she’s new around here. Cut her some slack, alright?”

“It’s none of your business!”

Jane was taken aback by the sudden aggression from one of the men.

“Come over here, you.”

Those men with Luke were beginning to drag Clarissa towards themselves. As the poor girl tried to break herself free from them, she tripped and fell into the arms of Luke. Just in time, Luke wrapped his arm around her waist.

“Let go of me!”

“Clarissa, Mr. Harrison here knows a fine woman when he sees one! You should be glad he is interested in you. Don’t be so reserved! If you make him happy, your friend won’t have to make any compensation! What a worthwhile deal, right?”

“Please let go of me…”

“Ms. White, isn’t this a bit too…” The rest of Clarissa’s colleagues were concerned about her safety.

Of course, Jane wouldn’t just let those vile men take Clarissa away.

“Gentlemen, I am a friend of the president of the Galaxy Pictures. Would you guys kindly let my friend here go out of courtesy to him?”

“What are you talking about? President of the Galaxy Pictures?”

Jane was beginning to feel despair. Crap, they don’t even care! What can I do now?

By now, Clarissa was already in Luke’s arms. The man groped her body and was in awe at what a fine specimen she was under close inspection.

Her face was clear and her skin was as smooth as jade. Luke was surprised at how petite her figure was.

“Your name’s Clarissa, right? If you become mine, I assure you that you will get whatever you want for the rest of your life. Also, what happened just now will be a nonissue.”

At that moment, Clarissa was filled with nothing but disgust. She could feel the men’s putrid breath on her face, but no matter how hard she struggled, she could not get away from him.

Her colleagues could only peer at her worryingly. They were too intimidated by those men to halt them in their act.

“Let’s go somewhere to have fun, shall we?”

Before anyone could come to their senses, Luke had already tossed Clarissa onto his car and took off into the distance.

Luke didn’t even bother to collect compensation as his men would get it settled before he knew it.

Jane was both irked yet helpless, just as her other colleagues were.

“Ms. White, then what should we do now?”

“D-do you know anyone that can help us?”

All of them were only lowly editors at their company. Naturally, they had no connections to powerful figures that could get them out of the tight corner they were in.

“It’s okay. Let me think of an idea. In the meantime, let’s inform the president about it. Maybe he could get someone to help us out.”

“Ms. White, I think… it’s fine?”

At Bruno’s words, everyone turned to look at him. There was an unfathomable expression on his face. “We don’t even know who those people are. Also, we have so much on our plates now. Perhaps Clarissa left with them on purpose?”

Most importantly, if Clarissa really did give in to the wishes of those men, then her colleagues wouldn’t have to fork out a huge sum of money for compensation. That exorbitant amount of money probably meant nothing to the wealthy, but it could cost Jane and the rest of their lifetime savings.

Because of that, Bruno was trying his utter best to persuade his colleagues to give up saving Clarissa. “Also, didn’t you guys read online what kind of person Clarissa is? She seduced both Ryler and the cousin of the director. She might seem innocent, but we never know her true colors. Perhaps, we might ruin her plans if we save her.”

Everyone turned silent. In truth, they were tempted by their selfishness to just let Clarissa go with those men.

Jane was the only one who objected to Bruno’s idea. “No matter what, I have to at least try to find some way to save Clarissa.”

Truth be told, Jane’s heart was also wavered by the hidden implication behind Clarissa’s abduction.

However, her conscience would not let her do so.

As Jane was in the midst of contacting the people she knew for help, Clarissa was brought to a club.

At this instant, no matter how hard she flailed and screamed, she could not escape. Her mind was constantly brainstorming for ways to free herself from captive.

Is it possible for me to save myself?

It doesn’t seem very possible. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

How about I look for reach out to someone to help me out?

At the moment, she could only think of Ellie.

Clarissa was brought into a private lounge in the club. Her calm composure misled the men into thinking that she was just playing hard to get earlier.

The grin on Luke’s face was getting more and more sinister. His gaze at Clarissa was also becoming increasingly lewd. His desire to just gobble her up was scribbled blatantly across his face.

“Clarissa, come and sit here.”

Luke patted his thigh firmly, but Clarissa replied coolly, “I think it’s time for me to leave. Mr. Harrison, I appreciate your admiration for me, but my friend will be worried about me if I go back later. Also, I’m staying at my friend’s house. Oh, perhaps you might know her!”

“Someone I might know? Tell me her name, Clarissa! If I actually know her, I will let you go. If not, I will have to punish you!”

“Her name’s Ellie. Ellie Tyson.”

A hush descended upon everyone at the scene.

Even Luke was baffled for a moment. But very soon, he cracked up.

“You know that fella? You and Ellie are friends? Why don’t you call her out? We can hang out together.”

Tsk, they don’t buy my words.

Clarissa took out her phone and dialed for Ellie.

A long while passed, but Ellie didn’t pick up the call.

Clarissa’s face became paper white when the phone call ended with a beep.

“Huh, is Ellie not coming over, or are you lying to us, Clarissa? Do I get to punish you now? Hahaha!”

“Punish her! Punish her!”

There was an uproar in the lounge. Everyone was in high spirits.

Clarissa hurriedly got up from her seat and made a break for the exit, but Luke saw that coming and pressed her down on the sofa.

In the heat of the moment, Luke puckered up his lips and dove in the direction of Clarissa’s face.

“Ah!”

The crowd didn’t notice that the door of the private lounge was cranked open. A cold breeze blew into the room and interrupted the ruckus.

Everyone turned their gaze towards the door.

Jeremy had both of his hands stuck in his pocket. He was dressed up pompously, and he lay on the doorframe with a cynical look on his face. It was as if he was waiting to spectate a spectacular show.

Other than Jeremy, there was another man. He was fully clad in black from top to bottom. His brooding yet sharp eyes darted to Luke and the girl trapped under him.
