Chapter 575 A Mess
Later, Bethany opened her Whatsapp.
Caleb: [Dr. Beth, I got your number from Clarissa. Is my mother really fine?]
Bethany: [She’s fine. It’s just a minor surgery. She didn’t lie to you.]
Caleb: [Thank you for taking care of my mother, Dr. Beth.]
Bethany: [Don’t worry. It’s rare to see such a caring son these days.]
Bethany intentionally prolonged the conversation. If it were someone else texting her, she would have
left it at “Don’t worry.”
Caleb: [I don’t have my parents with me now since I’m in Florin. I feel bad for not being there for them.
Of course I have to care about it when my parents get sick.]
Bethany smiled. They said men who treated their parents well were very good to their wives. Knowing
that Caleb was a truly good man, and she fell for him even harder.
Of course, she first had to become Caleb’s wife.
Bethany: [I’ll take good care of your mother for you.]
She meant this sincerely.
After chatting with Caleb, he opened Caleb’s Instagram. He rarely posted photos, and the profile only
showed posts from the last half a year. There wasn’t much activity during this time. He mostly only
posted about basketball competitions. Meanwhile, his profile picture was of him saluting.
In the photo, it looked as if Caleb was looking at her. His gaze pierced right through to Bethany’s heart.
Bethany saved the photo to her phone.
Because she had been thinking so intently about Caleb, Bethany had put the matter of Clarissa and
Damien to the back of her mind.
…
Clarissa had been added into a group chat on Whatsapp. The group was named “New East
Corporation’s Ashland Division.” The group included Damien, Ray, Janet, and Lucas. They were all
people Clarissa used to be familiar with.
Lucas: [Due to the special nature of Ashland, there will be an overtime session tomorrow. Saturday,
10:00 a.m. at the large conference room on the tenth floor.]
Clarissa’s mind was in a mess. She didn’t want to go.
Janet had messaged Clarissa as well.
Janet: [Clare, I really didn’t expect you to be back in Genovia. It’s great that we can work together
again! You’ve gone through a lot of changes. Let’s have a good chat tomorrow after the meeting.]
Clarissa: [I have a headache. I don’t think I’ll go.]
Just as Clarissa lied, her head started to pound.
Janet: [Don’t mess around. You’re an independent woman! You can’t just not go to work. You have to
come tomorrow. I’ll buy you a meal afterward.]
Clarissa had no choice but to promise to go.
When it came to her and Damien, there was a lot of history to consider. She had no clue how she was NôvelDrama.Org content.
going to face Damien, so she felt a bit sluggish.
That night, she received a Whatsapp message from George.
George: [Clarissa, this case isn’t so simple. The doctor didn’t find any trace of drugs in your
grandfather’s system. I don’t know what Iris is doing. She kept saying she was filming when Victor
became paralyzed. She denied switching places with her sister. It seems we’ll need time to dig up the
truth. How are things with you over there?]
Clarissa wanted to say that everything was fine, but it was all a mess. However, she held back.
After all, George didn’t even know Damien.
