You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 228


    “I…”


    Hry paused for a while before she continued, “It’s not that I disagree but it would be very insincere to


    just inform me of your wedding in such a way. Of course I would be upset and reluctant to agree to it.”


    rissa heaved a sigh and frowned.


    “What you said isn’t really what I meant. Why are you so anxious? It’s not even decided yet. Besides,


    even when the timees, the marriage proposal will be discussed with Grandma and not you.”


    “rrisa, are you disregarding me? I’m your mom. I have the final say on your marriage. What an


    ungrateful sod. Is it because you have a man to back you up now so I’m nothing to you anymore? Is


    that what you’re thinking?”


    Hry’s voice turned increasingly piercing from the other end of the phone. She seemed to be


    exasperated.


    Meanwhile, rissa held the phone farther from her ear and suppressed her anger. Nevertheless,


    Hry was still running on over the phone.


    “Don’t you ever think that you’re terrific now because you’ve found Matthew. Yes, he’s well-off and he


    comes from an affluent family. However, do you think a man like him wouldn’t have other women?


    What can you get by marrying Matthew? You stood out among other women now because of novelty


    but you’ll only have a regrettable ending when he grew weary of you. Besides, you haven’t even got


    married yet and you’re already treating me in such a terrible way. Would you even recognize me as


    your mom after getting married?”


    Listening to Hry’s words, rissa got more and more bewildered.


    Initially, rissa was of the opinion that Hry would be the happiest person to know of the news of her


    marriage with Matthew.


    Hry had always wanted her daughter to marry a man from a prominent family to make her proud and


    strengthen her footing in the Garretts so that it would also benefit Jonathan in the future.


    But Hry is actually telling me about the banes of marrying a man with a prominent background now?


    rissa almostughed aloud. When does Hry be so level-headed?


    As soon as Hry finished talking, rissa asked her in a very frank manner in return, “Mom, other


    things aside, I’m very surprised this time. You actually said that it’s not good to marry a man with a well-


    off background?”


    Hry seemed to be troubled by the inconsistency in her own attitude as well. She replied only after


    pausing for a moment, “I’m not saying that it’s not good but I still want you to be happy. Wasn’t it you


    who said that you didn’t want to marry someone from a prominent family but only wanted to lead a


    peaceful life with a dependable man? I’ve thought it through now and I don’t want to force you into


    doing things that you’re against. To be honest, marrying Matthew isn’t as good as it seems especially


    when the Tysons also oppose your marriage.


    “How did you know that the Tysons opposed our marriage?”


    “Well, regarding this… I heard it from a friend of mine. Old Mrs. Tyson even fell sick because of this,


    didn’t she? That’s also why I’m calling you. It’s for your own good. If his family doesn’t wee you,


    you won’t be able to have a pleasant post-wedding life. ry, let’s forget about marrying Matthew,


    alright? You’re such a beauty. You can always find someone else. Why do you have to pick an aged


    man whose entire family objects to your marriage? I can help to introduce some—”


    “Mom!” rissa returned in a deep tone.


    Something isn’t right for sure.


    Hry’s attitude is perceptibly strange.


    rissa asked, “Mom, what are you trying to do? Weren’t you thrilled that I was going to marry


    Matthew? Why are you persuading me to be with someone else now? Is it you or is it something wrong


    with my hearing? Are you plotting some conspiracy?”

    “You— what are you talking about, ry? What conspiracy? Am I that kind of a person?”


    Without a doubt!


    rissa could no longer trust Hry. That was exactly what she thought about her.


    Hry must have some ulterior motive. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have made such a request out of the


    blue.


    “Mom, Matthew and I are truly in love with each other. It doesn’t matter if he’s from a wealthy family or


    not. The objection of the Tysons is not a problem either, so, what else do you want to say?”


    “You…”


    Hry was at a loss for words. She mulled it over before replying, “ry, do you still regard me as your


    mom?”


    “That depends on your actions.”


    “W-What do you mean?”


    “I should be the one asking you that. Let’s be frank. What is it that you’re trying to imply? Let me tell


    you this. If you really want me to be happy, marrying Matthew is the right thing to do. What else do you


    have to say?”


    Hry fell silent while rissa was greatly disheartened.


    Before Hry could say anything else, rissa spoke her mind, “I’m going to marry him irrespective of


    your stance. Also, I won’t insist if you decide to stop being my mom. After all, you gave up on that many


    years ago.”


    With that, rissa ended the call promptly, leaving no chance at all for Hry to react.


    However, the matter was undoubtedly peculiar to rissa. She became very suspicious as to why


    there was such a huge change in Hry’s attitude. What is she trying to do? What is the conspiracy


    behind this?


    rissa found Gina and asked her about it.


    “Can you help me find out if my mom is up to anything unusual recently?”


    Gina thought for a while and without any investigation, she replied directly, “Your mother meets up quite


    frequently with Shermaine these days.”


    rissa’s heart sank and she couldn’t help but cuss silently.


    It’s Shermaine again! How did she even get involved with Hry?


    Is Shermaineing against me deliberately with Hry’s help?


    Be that as it may, is Hry empty-headed? One is an idol whom she adores while the other is her own


    daughter. Shermaine is just an outsider who was sowing discord among us and yet, Hry trusted her


    completely? Is Hry such a simpleton?


    Undoubtedly, it was Shermaine’s idea to instigate Hry to stir up troubles for her. Of course, rissa


    wouldn’t listen to Hry’s words at all. She would never give up on Matthew just because of some


    harsh words spurted out by Hry which resulted from Shermaine’s persuasion.


    rrisa sneered as she couldn’t decide who was dumber between Shermaine and Hry.


    None of them was good anyway.


    “What’s Shermaine up totely?”


    If it wasn’t because the name “Shermaine” was being brought up, rissa might have even forgotten


    about her existence. But then, her curiosity was aroused as to what this woman was doing in recent


    days.


    ording to Gina, Shermaine’stest actions were exceedingly in. Other than meeting with Hry,


    she spent most of her time at home. Apart from that, she was summoned by the authority for


    cooperation with the cases’ investigation.


    She seemed to have stayed tractable without rocking the boat.


    rissa stroked her chin as she pondered about whether it was because Shermaine’s reputation had


    been tarnished or she was actually behind something else that she was so well-behaved.


    “Gina, is she plotting something secretly?”


    Gina shook her head at that question.


    “Well then, did she contact anyone unusual? Has the culprit of the road ident and the assault in the


    valleyst time been caught?”


    Gina responded, “The police have identified a target and he was the leader of a mob. He managed to


    escape when the police went to arrest him.”


    “What? Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Is he rted to Shermaine in any way? Will this discovery lead


    the investigation to her?”


    “Not at the moment. From what we’ve gathered, he’s not rted to Shermaine.”


    That means Shermaine will still not be convicted.


    rissa gritted her teeth. What should I do to let Shermaine reveal her true colors and bring her to


    justice?


    “You’re still keeping watch on her, right?”


    Gina nodded.


    rissa thought for a moment before she added, “Good. Continue to keep her under surveince. I’m


    worried she might be up to no good again.”


    Meanwhile, Shermaine had the slightest idea that she had been kept under watch.


    She had just finished talking to Hry over the phone and was preparing to meet her in person.


    However, after hanging up the phone, Shermaine tossed the ss of water beside her again. The


    maids at home were already used to seeing her in such a way.


    For a month, since Shermaine stopped working and just stayed at home, her temper had been getting


    worse by the day. In addition to that, she was being investigated, which contributed to her losing her


    temper at any point in time.


    But someone like her could be really gentle and kind when there were outsiders around. After all, she


    was an actress with fabulous acting skills. Nevertheless, her maids had long been familiar with her


    hypocrisy and they wouldn’t be surprised at all to know that Shermaine hadmitted all those


    offenses. By judging her temper and the inconsistency in herportment when outsiders were


    present, none of them would regard her as a kind person.


    After Shermaine vented her anger, she changed and went out again.


    The ce where Shermaine and Hry met frequently in recent days was a private lounge. The reason


    Shermaine gave was that she didn’t want to be filmed by the paparazzi. Other than that, she wanted to


    keep her meeting with Hry a secret to others, especially the content of their conversations which was


    much more important.


    Every time she met with Hry, Shermaine would put on all kinds of pitiable and distressed


    expressions.


    Hry’s impression of her was always a piteous wry smile which was exactly what Hry would fall for.


    Seeing the pained expression of Shermaine would inflict a simr sensation within Hry and she


    would feel sorry for her. Therefore, every time when Shermaine talked about how she couldn’t be with


    Matthew no matter how much she loved him, even when Shermaine didn’t explicitly ask for anything,


    Hry would be desperate to fulfill her wish.


    That was why Hry was against rissa’s marriage.


    However, her objection was nothing to rissa and she was even rebuked by rissa in return.


    And when Hry showed up in front of Shermaine this time, even before she could say anything,


    Shermaine hugged her tightly and started tearing up.


    “Ms. Hry, sob… Why must I suffer all these? All these nders made no sense at all. Not only that


    but even Matt was stolen by someone else now. Ms. Hry, I know that rissa is your daughter and I


    don’t me you for that but rissa is so pretty. She’s even prettier than I am. She would definitely be


    able to find a better man. Why does she have to take Matt away from me? I love him so much. Without


    him, I’ll die. Sob…”


    Hry was stirred by Shermaine’s wailing and she started tearing up as well.


    After a long while, seeing that Shermaine was still wearing her depressive look, Hry grasped her


    hand decisively.


    “Shermaine, that daughter of mine was unworthy of Mr. Tyson, not to mention that the Tysons were


    unsupportive of their marriage. They wouldn’t be happy together. Hence, I’ll definitely make my


    daughter leave Mr. Tyson. She wasn’t even half as good as you who was a perfect match for Mr.


    Tyson.”


    “T-That’s not true, Ms. Hry. You can’t be sacrificing your rtionship with your daughter for me.”


    “That’s not a sacrifice. I— I’m also doing this for my daughter. It’s for her own good and happiness.”


    Shermaine was so moved she didn’t speak in a long while.
