Divorce Anxiety Chapter 298Chapter 298 Illegitimate Child
“I-I’m sorry,” stammered Clarissa piteously.
Lauren’s face was devoid of any emotion.
As such, Clarissa could only leave in embarrassment.
Lauren knitted her brows.
I can’t let anyone know that the female lovebug is a goner.
Fortunately, Clarissa had no idea what the female lovebug was.
Lauren mulled over it for a while before her lips slowly curved into a rigid smile.
A plan had formed in her mind.
Meanwhile, Clarissa was walking toward the gate when she bumped into Yareli, who was walking in.
Yareli was furious. “Are you blind?”
Clarissa also glared at her. “Well, my eyes are not used for looking at something this ugly!”
“What did you say?” Yareli glared daggers at Clarissa.
The latter snorted disdainfully. “You heard me. I said you were ugly!”
Yareli raised her hand to hit Clarissa but was not prepared for the latter’s reflexes.
Clarissa managed to grab Yareli’s hand in mid-air. She then slapped Yareli first.Yareli howled, “How dare you hit me!”
“So what if I did? I hit whoever I please!” hissed Clarissa with her arms akimbo.
Yareli reached out to grab Clarissa’s hair.
All right, so be it!
Clarissa smirked at the attempt. “What a weakling.”
Having said that, she grabbed Yareli by the hair and threw her to the ground.
Satisfied, she then proceeded to make a show out of dusting her hands clean.
“I don’t know where the heck you came from. You just barged in here without even asking me who I
am, and now you want to pick fights with me?” said Clarissa disdainfully.
“Mom! Mom!” Yareli yelled.
The purpose of her visit that day was to see Vanessa.
Vanessa heard loud shouting coming from downstairs and hurried over to look.
“Yareli, what happened?” Vanessa went to help her daughter.
Yareli stood up and pointed at Clarissa. “Mom, she hit me!”
Vanessa was stunned.
She looked at Clarissa faintly. “You’re… Clarissa?”
Clarissa’s expression sank. “You’re the mistress?”“Watch your mouth!” Yareli glared at her.
“And you must be the illegitimate child,” said Clarissa contemptuously.
Yareli’s face was gloomy.
Clarissa gave them both a cold look and turned away.
“Stop right there!” Yareli seemed to be particularly agitated. “You’d better explain yourself to me!”
Vanessa stopped her. “Let her go.”
“But Mom, she hit me!” Yareli was livid.
“If you want to marry Samuel, don’t mess with her,” said Vanessa solemnly.
“What do you mean by that, Mom?” Yareli was puzzled.
“Regardless, you are not allowed to provoke her now.” Vanessa sounded thoughtful. “We still have a lot
of things to do, and we have to rely on her father to help us.”
Yareli pursed her lips. “Who is her father?”
“All right, that’s enough with the questions. I’ll let you know later,” said Vanessa, her tone morose. “Let’s
go. I’ll take you to see Lauren first.”
“Who’s Lauren?” Yareli frowned.
“She’s the doctor here, and she’s very powerful.” Vanessa continued, “Once she implants the female
lovebug into your body, Samuel will definitely fall madly in love with you.”
“Really?” Yareli’s face revealed hope.Vanessa then promptly brought her daughter into Lauren’s clinic.
Inside, Lauren looked at them mildly. “What is it?”
“Lauren, this is my daughter, Yareli,” Vanessa said with a half-smile. “I’ll leave the lovebug business to
you.”
“A female lovebug is different from its male counterpart. The female lovebug needs to be implanted at a
specific time for it to work,” said Lauren coldly. “I’m afraid it isn’t for another two days.”
Vanessa was surprised. “Two more days?”
“Why, can’t you wait?” Lauren asked icily.
“Of course, we can. We’ll wait,” said Vanessa.
“Then leave. I have preparations to make,” murmured Lauren.
“Okay.” Vanessa nodded as she tugged Yareli away.
Yareli said unhappily, “Mom, why are the people here so weird?”
“If anyone here were normal, they would be of no help to us.” Vanessa looked at her and said, “Let’s
go. I’ll show you around.”
Yareli hesitated for a moment. “Mom. After so many years, you’ve said nothing about my biological
father. Why is that?”
“I’ll tell you later,” said Vanessa mysteriously.
Yareli pursed her lips, feeling a little dissatisfied.What is it that you can’t just tell me?
When Clarissa returned home, Raymond happened to come down from the second floor.
His expression was very severe. “You’re back and you haven’t said a word to me.”
Clarissa simply snorted and walked past him.
Raymond frowned.
What’s going on here?
Clarissa returned to her room. She closed the door and lay on the bed, wiping away tears in secret.
Just then, her computer turned on by itself, followed by a burst of loud singing.
An animated figure then started to chime with a singsong voice: Little girl, little girl, crybaby cry, your
shoe has gone missing, and your thoughts are now awry!
Clarissa gritted her teeth. “What terrible singing!”
She came to the computer and sat down.
A line of text popped up on the computer: My singing was perfect. You just didn’t know how to
appreciate it. What a philistine you are.
Clarissa tapped on the keyboard with both hands.
Instead of replying to the hacker, she was trying to find his tail.
Clarissa vowed to uncover their identity today.
Unknown: Ooh… someone’s angry. Who pissed you off?Clarissa ignored it and continued her pursuit.
She soon felt like she was close to exposing their identity.
However, before she could do anything, the hacker fled.
How despicable. I will try again!
Unknown: So you want to catch me? Are you in love with me and want to elope?
novelbinClarissa: I can’t be bothered to elope with someone so repulsive.
Unknown: Maybe you are lonely after all, poor little girl. Poor attention-deprived little girl. I have an
idea. Why don’t you come and spend some time with me instead? I have plenty of hours to kill, and I
can show you a good time.
D*mn it!
Clarissa was about to explode in anger.
She ended up sulking.
With renewed efforts and determination, she started the chase again.
Sure enough, she managed to scramble into another loophole.
Unknown: Not bad, not bad. I ran a little slower and you really caught up. Come on, little short legs.
Run like the wind.
Immediately after sending that, the hacker vanished without a trace.
“D*mn it!” Clarissa smashed her fists into the keyboard.Shortly after, tears began to fall like rivulets down her cheeks.
She was not agitated because of this unknown hacker but because she had encountered Vanessa.
The hacker soon returned once more.
Unknown: Why are you crying?
Clarissa: It’s none of your business!
Unknown: Oh, I get it. You have a crush on me, and you’re upset that you don’t even know my name.
It’s with great difficulty that I tell you this, so you’ll have something to hold on to. You may call me
Songbyrd. A dashing young man at your service.
Clarissa: So, you’re an old fart or a neckbeard. Got it.
Songbyrd: So what if I’m an old fart? I know how to make the ladies feel special.
Clarissa: You’re disgusting! Just you wait! I’ll have you unmasked soon enough!
Songbyrd: Deal. We’ll get married when you do unmask me.
Clarissa: F*ck off!
With that, Songbyrd disappeared again.
However, she soon noticed that her mood had improved after the tussle she had with Songbyrd.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Clarissa wiped away her tears and walked over to open the door.
A housekeeper stood there. “Ms. Watson? Mr. Watson would like to see you.”“Got it,” replied Clarissa.
The housekeeper then left.
