Chapter 69

Chapter 69 Clarissa, who had been pretending to be the innocent and pitiful victim, showed her true

colors within the span of a few heartbeats!

“Ha... Come at me!” Naomi sneered with disdain. She got up and pulled Susan away from Clarissa. The

rest of the crowd was afraid of getting involved with Clarissa as well and quickly dispersed.

Johnson ended up in the infirmary because Sherry had beaten him up badly. At last, only Clarissa was

left alone in the hall. She lay on the floor in an embarrassing mess while everyone criticized her.

Scott and Lilian had finally arrived. Lilian was so terrified and quickly helped her daughter up. “Clarissa!

What happened to you? Who‘s the one who beat you? I‘ll beat them up!” Lilian swore angrily. Scott

sighed with a face full of disappointment. “Ah, and here I thought you‘d make me proud. Instead, you

proved to be a big embarrassment!”

“It‘s all because of your daughter! Naomi is the one who did this!” shouted Lilian rudely.

Scott‘s face turned dark. Clarissa had recently got an investor for him. For that, he could not be overly

harsh toward them.

Recently, a pharmaceutical company called Shaw Pharmaceuticals had suddenly appeared in Gin City.

Their sales had quickly surpassed that of Green Corp. Ever since Green Corp‘s sales had plummeted,

the only thing he could do was sigh anxiously. Clarissa observed Scott‘s face and suddenly had an idea.

She smiled viciously and suggested,” Dad, are you troubled about the new drugs? Naomi happens to

have some formulas with her

“What? Naomi is simply useless. How can she have any new formulas?”

“She‘s not useless at all. She only pretended to be. But Naomi has gotten herself admitted into the Royal

Medical School, and she did it by using the formulas that Rachel had left behind. I think she has been

preparing for revenge. She‘s just trying to trick you now!” Clarissa deliberately provoked Scott, making

him hate Naomi more. “Humph! How dare she try to trick me! She‘s just an ignorant child!”

“That‘s right! By the way, Dad, isn‘t Rachel‘s inheritance all yours? Are you going to watch Naomi take it

all away from you?”

Clarissa continued to goad Scott. As expected, Scott became angry.

He roared, “She must be dreaming! All the medical formulae are mine!”

Clarissa saw Scott take the bait and curled her lips viciously.

“Dad, I have an idea!”

The sun went down and the dark clouds shaded the city. Meanwhile, in Royal City, three young talented

men were seated around Jack in the meeting room at Hough Corp‘s headquarters. The three young men

had been friends with Jack since they were young. They were all influential people in Royal City.

However, Jack‘s natural talent for leadership won them over and made them willingly gather around Jack

as his right–hand men. “I didn‘t expect the meeting to be so long. Look at the time now. Shall we go get

dinner?” Philip glanced at his wristwatch and looked at Jack with a smile. “Sounds like a good idea! I

must make him buy us a feast today. Tony, you can‘t say no! We haven‘t gathered together in a long

time!“, Jack was handsome in his flamboyant yet casual sweater. He became alert at the mention of

dinner.

“No, thanks. I’ll skip. My wife is waiting for me at home with dinner. She just sent me a message.”

The tall man sitting opposite Jack pointed at his phone screen with a sweet smile that did not match his

huge figure and manly face. “Oh, dear! You were a master of love. How can you be blinded by love?!“.

The flamboyant man rolled his eyes. The tall man said, “That‘s because you haven‘t met your true love!”

“When someone is waiting for you at home with a meal, and you can watch TV with them, before you

both head up to bed together then your house will finally feel like home. Tsk... Daniel, a bachelor like you

would never understand this! I won‘t tell you more! My wife is calling!”

Tony Harp mocked the flamboyant man but was cut off because he received a call in the middle of the

sentence. When he answered, his voice immediately grew gentle. He was bubbling with happiness!

‘A warm house that feels like home?‘

Jack watched as Tony left and was lost in deep thoughts. For some reason, what came to his mind was

the little yellow duck carpet at home, and the flashback of him eating barbecue with the kid last night.

“This guy only cares about hoes over bro!” Daniel Dunn was so annoyed and slammed the table, hard.

Philip patted his shoulder to comfort him.
