Love in Twilight novel (Clarissa and Damien) novel Chapter 578

Clarissa thought that Howard would be a mess after three years of prison and squatting at Rebecca’s house, but he looked decent. He was neatly dressed, and had a professional air to him.

Still, Clarissa didn’t want to deal with Howard now. She tried to hide her face as she entered the university grounds.

When she unconsciously looked back, she thought she saw a woman throwing herself into Howard’s arms.

Clarissa now understood why Howard was so well-dressed. He must have landed himself a student.

Howard was nearly fifty years old, but he had somehow managed to get himself a young woman in her early twenties.

She didn’t know what Rebecca would think of this once she found out. However, Clarissa wasn’t the kind of person who would bring up such a controversial matter.

When she got him, Clarissa sent Director Jones a Whatsapp message.

Clarissa: [Director Jones, I’d like to resign from the position of Independent Director. I’m a newcomer, and there’s a lot that I’m not familiar with. At the meeting just now, I needed to put in a lot of effort to follow the contents. Besides, I’ve put all my heart into teaching. What do you think? Sorry to bother you about this.]

Not long after, she received a reply.

Director Jones: [Clarissa, this is a job with an annual salary of two million. You should have a good think about this. If you’re not familiar with the work, you will learn the ropes soon enough. Or is there some other issue?]

Clarissa: [There’s nothing. I’ve thought about it. I really want to quit.]

Director Jones: [Then I’ll ask Mr. Lawrence about it.]

Director Jones sent Damien a Whatsapp message.

Director Jones: [Mr. Lawrence, Clarissa wants to quit. She says she can’t follow the contents of the meeting.]

At that moment, Damien was having some soup.

Damien: [Rejected! She can learn to keep up.]

Director Jones took a screenshot of the interaction and sent it to Clarissa. He also sent her a helpless emoji and four words, “I can’t help you.”

Howard had used a very typical username, so anyone could guess that it was him at a glance.

One of the posts had the gist of how the New East Corporation’s president had used his position to sleep with a lowly intern at the company and even paid her a handsome sum to keep her mouth shut. At the same time, he manipulated her into falling in love with him and even had her give birth to a child for him. Yet he turned against her and married his ex-classmate from university, who had been crushing on him for more than a decade.

Of course, the post was much more sordid than that and described how Clarissa had slept with Damien too. It was written very explicitly, and included the kind of sweet words Damien had used on Clarissa while they had been married.

Clarissa was pissed at how Howard had revealed her identity.

This post had not only been posted on Whirlwind, but also other public online forums.

Clarissa was pretty sure Damien wouldn’t be bothered by such a post.

All the things happened years ago, so Clarissa didn’t really want to bother either.

Just as she was turning off her computer, her phone rang.
