You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 127


    Yael nced at rissa. Seeing that the woman was still keeping her cool, she chose not to interrupt.


    The corner of rissa’s lips quirked up. “Since you’re still here too, you’re even more shameless than I


    am. Why can’t I be here then? Is D City yours? What right do you have to control my whereabouts?”


    “Hmph! You’re indeed thick-skinned. How can you still hold your head up high when you’ve already


    been dumped? My goodness!”


    “So what if he dumped me? At least I had been with him before.”


    rissa didn’t bother to exin that she wasn’t the one who got dumped. They won’t believe it anyway,


    so I might as well just admit it. But I won’t give them a chance to feel smug about it.


    As expected, a hint of jealousy shed across Patricia’s face, and she unwittingly tightened her grip on


    her handbag while caressing it. In a split second, she recollected herself before her gaze fell on her


    handbag, and she stroked it carefully, feeling bad about scratching it.


    Everyone could tell that the handbag was of utmost importance to her.


    Helen’s eyes glinted with disdain. As a matter of fact, she wasn’t fond of her friend either.


    But she liked the way Patricia brown-nosed her as it lifted her mood at times.


    “rissa, she didn’t mean it. We all felt sorry for you. You and Mr. Tyson were a perfect match, yet you


    lost to Ms. Smallwood only because of her family background. What a pity! But I guess Mr. Tyson and


    you genuinely love each other. In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you marry him. You two can still be


    together as long as you love one another. Since you’re still here in D City, I’m sure things are going well


    between the two of you.”


    She was trying to hint that rissa was Matthew’s mistress.


    Those words were even more hurtful than saying that she was dumped.


    rissa’s expression turned grim as she said curtly to Helen, “Don’t judge me with your own logic. I


    know you’re willing to be a mistress, but that doesn’t mean that I want to be one as well.”


    “What are you talking about? A mistress? Helen is officially married.”


    “Oh, really?”


    rissa emphasized her words deliberately as though she was implying something.


    Those who heard it would surely be able to read between the lines.


    Helen was mad and embarrassed. ”rissa, don’t take your bitterness out on us. We’re just concerned


    about you, so there’s no need for you to be so sensitive. By the way, there’ll be a gathering with all our


    ex-ssmates this Saturday. They texted you in the group, but you didn’t reply. So I’m letting you know


    now since I ran into you.”


    “I’m not going.”


    “Back then, at my wedding, everyone already knew about your rtionship with Mr. Tyson. Therefore,


    it’s fine if you don’t feelfortable attending it. It’s understandable that you’re in a foul mood now, so


    we won’t mind if you don’te. By the way, the gathering will be at the same restaurant in the hotel.


    Alright, I should get going.”


    Right away, Helen fled the scene with her friend, leaving a troubled rissa.


    Looking at her sullen face, Yael furrowed her brows and asked in bewilderment, “Why do you even take


    their words to heart?”


    However, rissa didn’t feel the same way. Yael is so carefree. She doesn’t give a damn about what


    others think.


    She pursed her lips. “I know I shouldn’t mind, but I just can’t let it slide. Although I know my ssmate


    was trying to provoke me, there’s no way I can remain unfazed.”


    “Are their opinions that important?”


    “It’s not important, but I still care.”


    “So are you going to the gathering?”


    rissa was in a dilemma. “I don’t know. I’ll see how it goes.”


    “Okay.”


    Yael didn’tment further, knowing that the woman had already made up her mind.


    Previously, rissa had forgotten all about Helen. She was reminded that thetter knew about her


    and Matthew only when she bumped into her.


    This was exactly why I wanted to keep the rtionship in the dark, but many already got to know about


    it. Now that it hase to an end, I bet they’reughing at me behind my back.


    When rissa reached home, she opened the group chat, of which she had muted the notifications.


    Scrolling through the chat, she saw that many ssmates were chattering about the scandal involving


    Shermaine and Matthew. Some sympathized with her, but some thought that she brought this upon


    herself, so she had to face the consequences of living off a wealthy man.


    This world has always been more judgmental toward women. I was in a normal rtionship like


    everyone else. It’s just that coincidentally, Matthew is well-to-do. However, in the eyes of the outsiders,


    I was hooking up with a rich man. Despite the fact that I’m the one who initiated the breakup, everyone


    says that I deserve to get dumped. That’s exactly thest thing that I want to see. How could these


    highly educated ssmates of mine be so narrow-minded?


    To make matters worse, those who defended her in the group chat were even used of having a


    crush on her.


    Annoyed, she chucked her phone away. Though she kept telling herself not to care, the indignation in


    her heart was unbearable.


    Browsing through an online shop, she checked out everything in her shopping cart to make herself feel


    better.


    She then called Ellie and told her about today’s incident. Hearing that, the hot-tempered woman


    couldn’t hold back her rage.


    “Why not? You have to be there. Ask Uncle Matt to tag along. How dare they gossip about you like


    that?”


    rissa’s heart skipped a beat at her words. “We broke up.”


    “What?” Ellie squealed. She saw Matthew pick rissa up the other day, so she thought they had


    reconciled.


    “Is it possible for you guys to get back together? re, I’ve misunderstood him. Uncle Matt seems like


    a trustworthy man. Are you really not getting back together with him?”


    “No. We’ve already talked about it. Apparently, he has given up too.”


    “Really?”


    Then, Ellie remembered that she hadn’t met Matthew for a long while. With how things are going, it’s


    quite unlikely for them to get back together.


    “Why don’t you ask someone else to attend the gathering with you? Let’s ask Damon to go with you.


    We can’t let those people have their way. It’s settled then. I’ll let Damon know about this. Pretend to be


    close to him during the gathering.”


    Ellie was not taking no for an answer.


    A few minutester, Damon called rissa and said that he would be d to attend the gathering with


    her as her boyfriend.


    Before rissa could say no, he had already made up his mind, insisting on being her plus one.


    On Saturday, rissa wore a long-sleeve floral dress with a trench coat. Her style was simple yet


    adorable.


    Thanks to her gorgeous facial features, she looked great in any outfit.


    Damon’s eyes widened and lit up in amazement the moment he saw her.


    Walking into the hotel, Damon grabbed her hand and put it around his arm.


    “Though it’s fake, we’ll still have to put on a good act, right?”


    “Yup.” She smiled at him.


    Afterward, the two strolled into a spacious private lounge. Sitting at two tables, all her ssmates were


    still gossiping that she was Matthew’s mistress. They believed that she would certainly be unwilling to


    let go of such an outstanding man after he got married and that she would not mind being his mistress


    for her own benefits.


    Much to their surprise, rissa showed up arm in arm with an elegant, dashing man. Everyone gaped


    at the two in shock, especially Helen.


    She’s now with another equally outstanding man. He looks even younger than Matthew. Judging from


    his demeanor and outfit, he is surely no ordinary man.


    All of them dared not say a word, despite their strong urge to spit out jealous-ridden


    comments. However, deep down, they all understood that, for someone as charming as rissa, she


    could always find another exceptional man. Undeniably, she was the envy of many women.


    As expected, she had already found another man. While the ss monitor ushered her and Damon to


    one of the tables, the rest of them couldn’t hide the awkwardness in their expressions as they stered


    courteous smiles on their faces.

    “I’m Damon, rissa’s boyfriend.”


    Someone seemed to know Damon and asked enthusiastically, “Are you from the Wynter family? I once


    had the privilege to meet Mr. Wynter at a golf course. I remember that you were there as well.”


    Herees another high-status man.


    Their gazes changed the second they discovered Damon’s identity. Unexpectedly, those who were


    making fun of rissa earlier turned into bootlickers in just a few minutes.


    A mixture of jealousy, displeasure, and rage shot through Helen’s chest, but she could only bottle up


    her emotions secretly.


    The woman appeared slightly hostile as she red at rissa.


    Meeting her antagonistic gaze, rissa trailed after Helen when thetter left the private lounge to the


    washroom so that she could vent her discontentment.


    “rissa, I’ve really underestimated you. Your rtionship with Mr. Tyson didn’t work out, so you


    turned to Mr. Wynter instead. You’re really something.”


    “You’re right. Didn’t you know that? Even the man you like came to confess his feelings for me when


    I’ve done nothing at all,” she replied in an icy voice.


    “You!”


    That was Helen’s sore spot, and her expression hardened at once as a murderous glint shed in her


    eyes.


    “Shut up, rissa. You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? You’re trying to pick on me!”


    “You’re the one who wants to humiliate me in front of everyone else. Why can’t you get off my back?


    My life is none of your business.”


    “That’s because you refused to let me off. Why do so many men like you when you’re a promiscuous


    b****? Back then, I was the one who met him first, yet he abandoned me. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t


    have been theughing stock of the entire school. Many years had passed, but you still held grudges


    against me and humiliated me at my wedding, and you did it again today. Why don’t you go to hell?”


    rissa was amazed by the woman’s ability to bend the truth and use others.


    What the hell! Does sheck some brain cells or something?


    Just when she wanted to rify herself, she recalled that she had actually done it many times before.


    Nevertheless, Helen still put all the me on her.


    In the end, she decided not to exin anymore.


    Letting out a snigger, she said, “Helen, what can I do? Men just adore me. Even if I ignore them, they


    still fall for me. If I want it, I can have as many men as I please, and I’ll always outshine you.”


    This was the best way to provoke an envious woman.


    With her fists balled up, Helen clenched her jaw and cursed under her breath. Suddenly, she darted


    toward rissa and gave her a shove.


    Never had she expected that Helen would get physical with her. Unable to dodge the unexpected


    attack, she yelped in shock and fell backward heavily. However, instead of hitting the floor, she fell into


    a solid and familiar embrace.
