novelxo Chapter 568 What a Wonderful Woman
Damien had sent his men to follow Clarissa. From there, he received pictures of Clarissa embracing Seth right after getting out of the plane. Then, the three of them went off to an opulent property that probably belonged to the Benson family.
When Clarissa had said that she would go to Lotharia alone, she didn't say she would be going with the Highmores to visit the Bensons.
Besides, there was also the sudden news of an engagement.
"Damien, you..." Ray stared at Damien.
He had never seen such a vicious light in Damien's eyes before, nor had he ever seen them so fathomless.
Damien kept on smoking. He looked toward his office desk, but Ray could tell that the desk wasn't what he was looking at. He guessed that Damien was thinking deeply about how to punish Clarissa. "Get out!" Damien shouted coldly at Ray.
Ray left without saying another word.
Damien's eyes narrowed. All along, he had been spoiling her, forgiving her every mistake. He always helped her where he could. Although he didn't go to Lotharia, he had sent people to keep an eye on her, afraid that something might happen to her. Indeed, that she was acting out was his fault. He had given her too much freedom. He couldn't be so lenient with her anymore.
He had always been too soft with her. All she had even given him were photos of herself with another man. Moreover, the image of her in a tight embrace with Seth was something he had seen more than once She had never taken the initiative to tell him anything. Truly, this woman really liked to cheat! First, it had been Joseph Moore. Now, it was Seth Highmore. He even began to suspect that Clarissa had been the one to spread the rumors that had been going around at Joseph's wedding to ruin the ceremony. There were women who naturally liked to conquer men.
Obviously, Clarissa was one such woman.
Damien gritted his teeth tightly, furious.
He should be more like Dennis Peterson. He should simply leave Clarissa out to dry!
When he took a step back, Clarissa went in for the kill.
What a wonderful woman!
There was an inferno raging in Damien's heart. He could not hold back any longer. He drove to the University of Florin and looked for Chanel almost immediately.
Chanel was currently at home taking care of Logan. When she saw that Damien had come, she was pleasantly surprised.
"What are you doing here?" Chanel was overjoyed from this sudden visit from the man she had been crushing on for many years. "Marry me," Damien said.
Chanel's ears rang at his words, and there was a buzzing in her brain. She could hardly believe it. She thought Damien was drunk.
At the same time, her face was flushed red. She looked bashfully at Damien.
"Can you say that again...?" Chanel was rarely as timid as this. However, she was definitely taken aback by his unexpected suddenness.
When she had been at Damien's house before, she had seen Damien and Clarissa's divorce papers on the table. When they talked about getting remarried, Chanel was heartbroken. She even felt that she had missed out on Damien for good.
Just as she felt like all her chances were gone, things suddenly took a huge turn. Of course she was taken aback.
"You will be Mrs. Damien Lawrence," Damien said to Chanel.
"Should... Should we let Clarissa know?" Chanel asked Damien.
"She'll find out sooner or later," Damien replied.
"Then, what about me?" Chanel wanted to know what part she would play in this marriage. However, she knew that she would be able to do whatever she wanted once she gained the title of Mrs. Lawrence. "You can come to Hill Villa on weekends." Damien seemed to be fighting a battle with himself.
"Logan, quick! Come and greet your dad," Chanel said joyfully to Logan.
Just as Logan was opening his mouth to speak, Damien let out a shout to stop the boy. "Don't! Don't you call me Dad now, or ever."
Chanel felt torn. But with the way things were, she was convinced she still had time to change everything.
