You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 130


    When Shermaine returned to the Smallwood residence, the first scene that met her eyes was her


    mother crying, looking vulnerable and pitiful.


    She was already in a bad mood, so when she saw her mother crying like this, she felt even more


    irritable.


    “Shermaine, are you back? The Tyson family has gone too far, especially Matthew. I called your Uncle


    Jacque just now. The Tysons really need to be taught a lesson. Just one word from the Wynters, and


    the Tyson family will get on their knees and apologize for what they have done.”


    Shermaine had heard these words from her mother countless times, and she had been hopeful.


    However, her hopes were crushed each time.


    “Mom, don’t be so childish. What can the Wynters do to them? They are in the same boat, after all.


    Rocking the boat would do no one any good.


    “But…”


    “Don’t you ‘but’ me. If your brother could help, would things have turned out this way? Can ‘just one


    word’ make Matthew marry me?”


    In fact, this was exactly what Ka had in mind. She remembered that when she was young, many


    people woulde to see the Wynters, asking for help.


    When she asked her father why, he told her that the Wynters were superior and no one dared to


    oppose them.


    That perception had been instilled in Ka’s mind, and all these years, she thought that this was the


    absolute truth.


    Moreover, Ka had not encountered any setbacks or major challenges previously, so she only grew


    older but not wiser.


    Ka felt a little hesitant when she saw her daughter’s displeased face that was filled with disdain.


    Reaching out, she hugged her and said in a low voice, “Shermaine, don’t be afraid. No matter what, I


    will definitely help you. After all, you are my only baby girl. If your Uncle Jacque is unwilling to help you,


    I will go to your grandma. Your grandfather had a lot of subordinates back then, and now they have


    be incredible figures. If your grandma helps to oppress the Tysons, they will have no choice but to


    agree.”


    Shermaine was doubtful. “Mom, do you think it will work?”


    “Why not? Tomorrow, I will visit your grandmother and ask her for help. If Matthew refuses, we could


    find someone to cause trouble for hispany. Other than that, we can also make him lose his


    position. It would be a piece of cake for us, so don’t worry.”


    Shermaine looked at her mother in surprise as she had thought that Mom was an innocent and


    ipetent woman who was overprotected by her grandfather.


    It was totally unexpected that she could n such strategies.


    Shermaine herself had thought of these ns before, but she was not able to carry them out without


    help from the Wynters. Furthermore, these ns were easier said than done.


    So, she was now in an awkward position.


    In the evening, Ka told James her n. James had always loved his wife and children, so although


    he had nothing against the Tysons, he was fine with just threatening them a little.


    Besides, the whole family needed to be in the Wynters’ good books.


    Consequently, the Smallwood family visited the Wynters again the next day.


    The Wynters had all gone to work, leaving only Hannah at home. Ka held her mother and


    comined to her before Shermaine proceeded to tell her love story in the most piteous way possible.


    Ka then used the Tyson family of all kinds of treachery and unkindness to the Wynters and


    insisted that they teach Matthew a lesson.


    Although Hannah was getting older, she was not slow-witted, so of course she could discern what her


    daughter and granddaughter meant. She also knew that teaching the Tysons a little lesson might be a


    bit too much. However, for so many years, she had always felt that she owed her daughter too much,


    and this granddaughter had been very filial to her, thereby winning the olddy’s heart. In order to show


    support for the young girl, the olddy felt that she had to do something.


    Moreover, the Tyson family had really gone too far this time, and they should be taught a lesson.


    Later, Hannah called some of Pyotr’s former subordinates, using his rtionship with them as a pivot.


    After her greetings, she made clear the reason she called them.


    When she was done making those calls, Hannah told her daughter and granddaughter, “You girls, rest


    assured. The Tysons will knock on your door and apologize.”


    Upon hearing that, Shermaine was overjoyed. Immediately, she hugged Hannah affectionately with an


    outpouring of sweet words of gratitude, which made Hannah the happiest grandmother in the world.


    Perhaps it was due to her old age that she was not as cold-hearted as she used to be.


    On the contrary, she now enjoyed family gatherings and adored this lovely granddaughter. She wanted


    to shower her with love, perhaps to redeem herself for being cruel to Ka in her youth.


    …


    Meanwhile, rissa was being dressed up again for another blind date.


    A high-end venue was selected just like the previous time. ording to Hry, this candidate had just


    returned from Wall Street. He was a venture capitalist with a worth of billions. Moreover, he was


    personable and handsome. This time, rissa was dressed to the nines under Hry’s supervision.


    After watching her dress up, she personally sent rissa to the venue. In order to ensure that


    everything went smoothly, she even sat next to rissa to keep an eye on her.


    Although rissa felt helpless, she had no choice but toply with her mother’s wishes. Shortly after


    she took her seat, the handsome elite man from Wall Street appeared.


    Physically, he did look appealing, while his demeanor was elegant and refined.


    He gave her a warm smile, gazing at her with gentle eyes. After chatting for ten minutes, she was


    surprised that he did not try to impress her, nor did he show any signs of looking down on women. Why


    does such a decent man even need to go for a blind date?


    They had half an hour of simple conversation during which they asked each other some basic


    questions about each other’s likes, hobbies, and work.


    However, rissa was unable to figure out if this man was interested in her or not. Deep down, she


    hoped that he was not.


    Nevertheless, she was fine with having a meal with him.


    After the meal, the man did not offer to send rissa home. Instead, he invited her to go for a drink.


    Without hesitation, rissa declined with a smile.


    “I’m sorry, Mr. Longman, but I don’t drink.”


    “I understand, Ms. Quigley. Forgive me for being too direct. This is quite normal overseas. If I’ve


    offended you, I do apologize.”


    “It’s alright. I understand. This is just my personal habit. I will take my leave now.”


    “In that case, let me send you home.”


    “There is no need.”


    With that, Mr. Longman did not insist on sending rissa home. After watching her leave, he went to


    the bar. After all, his nightlife had just started.


    Not long after rissa reached home, Hry called to ask about her date. After bombarding rissa


    with questions, she insisted that her daughter be more proactive in looking for a partner and


    encouraged her to invite Mr. Longman out for dinner.


    If they met often, it would only be natural for them to pair up eventually.


    Since this Mr. Longman is quite good-looking, perhaps I could try it out with him. Besides, when Mom is


    satisfied, she would go back to her hometown.


    The next day, rissa contacted Mr. Longman, and the two went out on several dates after that.


    When Mr. Longman invited rissa for a drink once again, she epted it this time.


    After having a few drinks with Mr. Longman, she became groggy, so he helped her into the car and


    took her to a hotel.


    Perhaps because the alcohol was too strong, rissa was barely conscious. In her groggy state, she


    could sense that she was being supported by a man who had a scent that made her feel


    ufortable. Repulsed, she frowned and wanted to push him away.


    In the end, someone carried her into a room and put her on a bed. She rolled over and went to sleep.


    rissa was awoken by the call of nature. Groggily, she got up with a slight headache and dashed


    straight into the bathroom. After relieving herself, she got up. In her semi-conscious state, she heard


    water sshing but did not dwell on it. Uponing out, she made a beeline for the bed, climbed in,


    and fell asleep again.


    The next time she woke up, she was met with the piercing sunlight. Blocking her eyes with one hand,


    she opened her eyes slowly.


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    Right then, her awareness returned, and she jerked up in fright. In that instant, the worst thoughts


    shed across rissa’s mind.


    When she lifted the nket and examined herself, she realized that she was still wearing yesterday’s


    clothes, which were now creased. To her relief, her body felt perfectly normal.


    After a short moment, she found her handbag near her bed and took out her mobile phone to check the


    time.


    Seeing that it was eight o’clock in the morning, she quickly came out of the room. But before she could


    figure out what had happened, she was given a fright by a man in the room.


    “Huh…”


    rissa almost jumped out of her skin. But soon, her shock was reced by rage.


    “Matthew, are you trying to scare me to death?”


    Matthew, who was in a ck shirt and matching ck pair of pants, was seated at theputer table,


    hard at work. At the enraged rissa’s shrill voice, he lifted his head slowly and looked at her with a


    cold gaze that sent shivers down her neck.


    Only then did she finally calm down.


    Right after that, rissa started feeling guilty for some unknown reason.


    She looked a little stiff, too ashamed to meet Matthew’s eyes.


    “What are you afraid of? Have you done something wrong?”


    rissa was speechless.


    She would have retorted, but she felt that she had indeed done something wrong.


    This doesn’t make sense.


    rissa’s mind turned again. Wasn’t I drinking with Mr. Longmanst night?


    How did I end up in this hotel? What is Matthew doing here?


    She raised her head and looked at Matthew. His face was expressionless, but his dark eyes seemed


    boundless as if he could see through her.


    rissa blinked in confusion. “Um… Why am I here? Why are you—”


    “Why is it me instead of Mr. Longman?”


    “Oh… No, what I mean is, I have no memory of what happenedst night.”


    “Hmph!”


    With a cold exmation, Matthew said, “You went for a drink with a man, and both of you went to the


    hotel together. Can’t you remember?”


    “No, I didn’t—”


    “You didn’t drink or you didn’t go to a hotel?”


    rissa was at a loss for words.


    She lowered her head and avoided Matthew’s gaze. Indeed, she had not expected that Mr. Longman


    would bring her to a hotel.


    But it wasn’t my fault. I’m the victim here!


    rissa’s lips curled up into an awkward smile as she said gloomily, “I didn’t expect that to happen…


    Anyway, thank you for saving me.”


    Even though she could not remember what had happened, by the looks of it, Matthew must have been


    prevented something terrible from befalling her.


    rissa was grateful for her good luck and this man who came to her rescue.
