You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 6
rissa showed up at the entrance of the hotel, decked out in a simple ck long dress, with little
makeup on her face.
Nevertheless, her appearance was a call for attention as many men went up to flirt with her.
rissa was unhappy about that. If it wasn’t for her mother’sints about her suffering with the
Garretts, she wouldn’t have agreed to attend the banquet.
But was it as simple as seeing the world that her mother had told her toe for?
rissa had her doubts about that.
Having been approached by another man again, she coldly rejected the man and turned toward the
balcony.
With the curtain blocking her view, she could finally regain her peace when she felt the warmth of a
body from behind her.
rissa whirled around in shock, only to see a perverted-looking old man standing right in front of her.
As she reflexively dodged away, the man stood where he was, shing a scious grin. “We meet
again, ry. How nice is that?”
The man was none other than the old man the Garretts had introduced to her.
rissa trembled in rage as realization dawned on her that it was yet another trap.
Looking at the man angrily but warily, she wanted to walk around and leave, but the man stopped her.
“Step aside, Mr. Jensen.”
“Why the cold face, ry? We’re gonna be a family, eventually. Let’s just take this time to get to
know each other, shall we?” “Family, my foot. Move aside before I scream for help.”
“Go ahead. People will probably think that I’m only flirting with my fiancée. Rx, ry. I know these
people here. But you… will anyone believe you? Besides, the Garretts have approved of this. Stop
being so stubborn and behave yourself. I promise I’ll be nice.”
The old man pounced on rissa. But she wouldn’t even give him a chance as she lifted her dress and
booted him in the stomach before running away.
So this is why they insisted Ie over today, huh? How could I be so stupid? Why did I go soft for
that woman who was supposed to be my mother?

rissa quickly left the banquet without saying hi to anyone.
“Stay where you are, rissa!” Yvonne’smanding voice was heard from behind.
rissa simply ignored her and headed for the elevator.
Yet Yvonne still caught up to her as she stood right before her and lifted her hand.
rissa reckoned her stepsister was about to p her. With rage burning in her stomach, rissa
swiftly grabbed hold of her wrist and shoved her aside, causing her to fall.
“You b*tch,” Yvonne screamed. “How dare you hit me? You little…”
No one had dared to treat her like that since she was little.
Like a madwoman, she charged at rissa from behind, tugging her hair.
Thetter yelped in pain and fought back, pulling her hair with one hand while wing her arm with the
other.
The women engaged in a catfight, none of them yielding to each other until Hry and Zach came to
separate them.
Without a word, Hry even gave rissa a tight p across the face.
Her gaze wasn’t that of a mother’s, but of disappointment and mostly disgust.
Hry spun around emotionlessly and went tofort Yvonne.
rissa wondered if the eyes darted at her were those of sympathy or mockery.
She fixed her hair and her clothes and walked away nonchntly.
She found herself in a quiet corner away from the crowd, where she eventually got to her knees and
broke down.
It wasn’t until the air was suddenly thick with cigarette smoke did she regain herposure.
She rubbed her eyes with the back of her hands. Just as she was about to leave, she saw a man
leaning against the wall, smoking and looking mature and charming, as usual.
How long has he been standing there? Did he see me in that disheveled state just now?
Perhaps she had been staring at him for a long time because the man suddenly looked over.
rissa dragged her feet to the man who then scrutinized her from head to toe. Her cheek was swollen
and unkempt in appearance.
“W-We meet again, Mr. Tyson,” she said awkwardly.
Matthew remained cool and aloof and imperturbable.
Who am I kidding? Why did I even talk to him?
“Are you that useless?” he piped up just as she was about to walk away.
“What?” rissa was momentarily stunned.
“Do you not know how to fight back? Are you such a coward?”
Is he mocking me?
“Well, what can I do? It was a one-versus-three situation, and one of them was my mother—my own
biological mother. Are you asking me to hit my mother?” rissa spat with sudden fury. Tears streamed
down her face as she forgot how she was nervous about him before.
Matthew watched as rissa cried.
“You’re pretty feisty.”
“How can I not be after what happened to me?”
Matthew’s lips curled into a smirk; his eyes fixating on rissa.
Oh God, was I too rude?
She eventually calmed down as fear overtook her wrath. He was her best friend’s uncle. She shouldn’t
have snapped at an elder. It was in rude.
Why is he staring at me like that? Does he think there’s a problem with me?
rissa maintained a safe distance, seeing that he was always on the alert. She was afraid that he
would overthink, especially after their many chance encounters.
“I-I’m sorry, Mr. Tyson,” she apologized, her attitude taking a hundred-and-eighty-degree turn as she
bent down and bowed respectfully.
Matthew cocked an eyebrow at her action.
“I’m really sorry. I shouldn’t have done that.”
“Are you apologizing to me?”
rissa bit her lip. Duh!
“What’s the point of apologizing to me? You should have used that energy to pour out your resentment
to the bullies instead of losing your temper at me. Only the weak takes out their anger on someone
after getting bullied.”
Having said his piece, Matthew strode away coldly, leaving rissa disoriented and humiliated.
Did he just mock me for being weak?
Yeah, who am I to get mad at him? I should have vented my anger at them—my so-called family—
instead of him.
