You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 92
rissa ced her hand on Matthew’s mouth to stop him from speaking and making her flustered.
Pressing on top of him, she rejected his teasing in a serious tone, “I’m going to get very, very angry if
you continue acting like this.”
Matthew’s expression softened as he held rissa’s hand.
Staring attentively at rissa’s face, he smiled and said, “But that’s the truth.”
The corner of rissa’s lips twitched. After scoffing at Matthew, she turned her back on him.
Wait. Why am I arguing with him on the bed?
Before rissa could even get out of bed, she was pulled back by Matthew.
As she let out a cry, Matthew pressed himself on top of her and kissed her again.
This time, he stopped talking and started doing what he was nning to do in the first ce.
rissa didn’t go to Justin Yates Studio the next morning because she was ordered by Matthew to rest
in Zen Hignds.
That included not mentioning Justin every now and then.
rissa found Matthew funny, but she obeyed his instructions anyway. It was also a chance for her to
rewind and chill.
rissa was enjoying the refreshing autumn breeze while drinking a cup of tea and reading a book.
However, her serene moment was interrupted by someone else.
Hry called rissa to inform her that Jonathan was back from overseas and asked her toe
home to meet her brother.
Since rissa couldn’t reject her mother’s request for her to meet her half-brother, she had to go out to
get a gift for him.
She might as well get something for herself too since she was going out.
D City was such a small ce that she could even meet someone that she didn’t want to see while
trying on some clothes.
“Isn’t this my stepmother’s daughter, my dearest sister?”
Yvonne’s voice rang through the store. Her exaggerating attitude stood out in the high-end boutique.
rissa’s attractiveness was distracting enough, but Yvonne’s action drew everyone’s attention to the
former instantly.
Yvonne had a few friends apanying her when she stood beside rissa and looked at the clothes
she tried on.
A hint of jealousy shed across Yvonne’s eyes as she taunted rissa, “This is a beautiful dress, but
it is very expensive. Can you afford it with whatever little money that your mother gave you? Not to
mention, my father is the one supporting your mother.”
rissa wanted to refute Yvonne badly, but it would only make herself seem as uncultured as Yvonne.
Recalling the time Matthew witnessed her disheveled state when she was fighting with Yvonne,
rissa turned around and went back to the fitting room.
However, Yvonne grabbed her arm and stopped her. “Why aren’t you saying anything? If you can’t
afford the dress, don’te here and waste the sales assistant’s time and effort.”
Yvonne let out a snort and turned to the sales assistant. “I’ll pay for the dress on her.”
rissa turned around and stared right into Yvonne’s eyes. “You need to get arger size than this.”
When Yvonne’s face darkened after she heard someone snickering behind her, rissa had already
shoved her away and gone back to the fitting room.

After exiting the fitting room, rissa returned the dress to the sales assistant and said smilingly,
“Thank you.”
The sales assistant didn’t appear unhappy as Yvonne said. She simply walked back to the counter
When rissa followed the sales assistant back to the counter, Yvonne taunted her smugly, “How pity.
You can have the dress I bought earlier.”
“Thanks, but no thanks.”
“Don’t act so tough, rissa,” Yvonne snorted, “Keep the dress if you like it. It’s not like you have to
pay for it. You’ll regret it if you walk out of here without it.” Yvonne continued urging rissa, “Take it. I
will be spending a lot in this boutique anyway. Remember not to show up in some shabby clothes
whenever we throw a party, you’ll beughed at. Can someone pack the dress for my sister?”
Yvonne was looking forward to witnessing the reluctant yetpromising look on rissa’s face.
That must be very satisfying.
As rissa nced back and forth at the sales assistant who was handling the dress and Yvonne and
her friends, she couldn’t help but snicker, “Thank you then.”
Not showing any tense emotion, rissa epted the dress wholeheartedly and left the boutique,
leaving the disappointed crowd behind.
It was only when Yvonne paid for the dress that she realized how expensive it was.
Yvonne gritted her teeth as she thought of her allowance. Her father didn’t give her much allowance
nowadays, and her habit of squandering her money didn’t help. Luckily, she still had the asional
allowance from her grandparents. However, the thought of rissa’s happy expression after receiving
the dress angered her.
Despite feeling unwilling, Yvonne couldn’t do anything about it because rissa had already left with
the dress.
In fact, rissa didn’t really like the dress and the fact that it was paid for by Yvonne.
An idea suddenly popped into rissa’s mind. She had been writing for years and had a loyal fanbase.
Although the fanbase was fewer than a hundred people, unlike her million-follower Twitter ount,
they were the ones who helped her during the online rant. Since she didn’t really like the dress, she
could just give it away as a lucky draw to her fans.
When rissa posted a picture of the dress and announced the lucky draw on her ount, her fans
supported it immediately because rissa was always so nice to all of them and regrly showered
them with gifts. They entered the lucky draw because it was fun, not because the prize was an
expensive dress.
In the end, the winner was selected. Although the dress was a size too small for her, she promised to
go on a diet for it.
……
rissa brought a gift to the Garretts.
To her surprise, the Garretts were holding a party in their mansion. No wonder Yvonne mentioned a
party earlier at the boutique.
rissa didn’t attract unwanted attention because she wore a casual shirt and skirt that looked like a
dress.
Upon seeing rissa’s arrival, Hry frowned and pulled her aside. “What are you wearing? Didn’t I
ask you to wear something nice and look pretty tonight?”
“Am I not pretty enough?”
Hry couldn’t think of anything to retort rissa because she was indeed getting prettier and prettier
as time passed.
Something odd crossed Hry’s mind, but she shook the thought of immediately.
“Come. I’ll show you around and introduce you to Jonathan.”
It was the first time that rissa met Jonathan. Jonathan was a twelve-year-old boy who looked more
mature than his age. Perhaps because of his eating habits, he was taller and fitter than boys of his age.
Sitting alone in a corner, he had his hoodie covering his face and appeared to be sleeping.
“Wake up, Jonathan. Your sister is here.”
After Hry shoved him a few times, he finally opened his eyeszily.
Jonathan fixed his defiant gaze on rissa for a moment, then looked away coldly.
“What’s with your attitude, Jonathan? She’s your sister!”
“I’ve never said she isn’t,” Jonathan replied indifferently.
Apparently, Jonathan was as unhappy as Yvonne with how Hry regarded this matter.
Smiling, rissa said, “Hello Jonathan, I’m rissa. Nice to meet you. Here’s a gift for you and I hope
you like it.”
ncing past the present, Jonathan stared right into rissa’s eyes and straightened himself. After
stretching himself in his seat, he muttered, “Thanks.”
After Hry went downstairs to cater to the guests, rissa was left sitting with Jonathan at the corner.
None of them said anything for a long while. Jonathan was quite surprised that his sister had such a
calm and quiet demeanour.
“You… Do you like D City?”
Jonathan’s question threw rissa off, but she recovered quickly and smiled at him. “I don’t.”
“Oh, I see. I don’t like it here too. How about the Garretts?”
“Nope.”
“So why are you here?” Jonathan asked mockingly.
rissa turned to him and chuckled, “I’m here to see you.”
Jonathan blushed at the sight of rissa smiling so sweetly at him. As he turned away from her and
coughed awkwardly, he asked, “Why are you being so enthusiastic? What is your motive?”
Shrugging, rissa refuted, “Why does everyone in the Garrett family always think that I have an
agenda? Do I really look like someone who’s eager to suck up to the Garretts and marry into a rich
family?”
“That’s whates to people’s minds,” Jonathan replied honestly.
“Alright then, but I don’t have to marry into a rich family. I’m already rich.”
“You?” Jonathan looked at rissa unbelievably.
When rissa whispered something into Jonathan’s ear, he gasped in shock.
Patting Jonathan on the shoulder yfully, rissa chuckled, “It’s a secret between us! Mom doesn’t
even know about this. You do know she’s bad at keeping secrets, don’t you?”
Still gaping at her, Jonathan asked, “Why are you telling me this?”
“Because you’re my brother. Not to mention that you’re… good-looking,” rissa teased.
Jonathan blushed again and found that he was unable to rx around rissa.
Soon, a maid came up and told them to go downstairs. Whilst Jonathan went to change his clothes
reluctantly, rissa found another corner to hide at.
rissa wasn’t sure how Zach’s business was doing exactly, but the way the party was attended by
many prominent people suggested that his wealth wasn’t just an overnight miracle.
“Are the Harrisons here too?”
“Yes! I’ve heard that the Garretts and the Harrisons are working together closely for now.”
“The Garretts are also working with Mr. Payne. I saw him at the entrance just now.”
“Mr. Payne? I didn’t know that the Garretts are so capable.”
Having overheard the conversation, rissa was wondering who Mr. Payne might be when she
spotted a chubby man.
rissa’s lips twitched as she pondered whether she should avoid Yarick Payne since he was talkative
and kept saying the wrong things.
Unfortunately, Yarick noticed her just as she was about to hide. His eyes lit up as he made his way to
her quickly.
Oh no! rissa turned around instantly. To her dismay, Luke was standing behind her and grinning
wickedly at her.
