You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 237


    It had been a while since Hry and Shermaine saw each other.


    Meeting Hry again, Shermaine realized that the former was not as happy to see her anymore. In fact,


    Hry looked guilty and was avoiding Shermaine’s eyes.


    Shermaine scoffed internally, but she acted frightened and lost on the surface.


    “Did I do something wrong to upset you, Ms. Hry? I understand that no one likes me now, and I am


    content with the affection you gave me earlier. I am so sorry for wasting your time and disappointing


    you. I truly am.”


    Shermaine looked too pitiful in that state.


    At first, Hry was heartbroken over the fact that rissa was insistent on disowning her, but seeing


    Shermaine in that pitiful state got Hry to forget all about rissa.


    The heartbreak Hry felt when she saw Shermaine was a lot more intense than when she saw


    rissa.


    As far as Hry was concerned, Shermaine was the most important one.


    The former quickly hugged thetter to offer somefort. Hry apologized, “Shermaine, this is all my


    fault. This has nothing to do with you.”


    What’s the point of being upset, anyway?


    That stupid rissa is such a thankless wretched for wanting to disown me like that. She truly stomped


    on the love I have for her.


    Truth was, there was no need for Hry to be sad. After all, when it came to that daughter, she had


    always been…


    Hry secretly made her decision. She would not sway anymore. Her heart knew who she should side


    with.


    “Shermaine, I was busytely, and that is why I’m only visiting now. I’m so sorry. I went to see rissa


    a few days ago.”


    “Huh?” blurted Shermaine before she grinned bitterly and added, “That’s right. You have a daughter,


    and she is the most important one for you. I understand.”


    “No, that heartless woman doesn’t even see me as her mother. She actually wants to cut all ties with


    me! As if this matter is so important that she needed to do that? She’s not nearly as kind to me as you


    are, Shermaine. How I wish you are my daughter instead.”


    Shermaine seemed surprised. She asked, “How is that possible? Are the two of you not close? Are


    there some misunderstandings between you two? Or does she not like it when we hang out together?”


    “It doesn’t matter if she likes it. The important thing is that I like you. Don’t worry, Shermaine. That


    stupid rissa is not worthy of Matthew, and I will not let her get married. I am her mother, and no one


    canin if I am against that wedding. You don’t need to be sad either. She will not marry Matthew,


    and you will have your shot. I will do anything for you.”


    Shermaine acted surprised.


    After that, she teared up like she was extremely touched by those words.


    In the end, droplets of tears rolled slowly down her eyes before she flew into Hry’s arms and sobbed.


    She said, “No one has ever been that nice to me before, Ms. Hry. You’re the only one.”


    Hry was even more heartbroken. Her tone… is she being bullied by the Smallwoods?


    “Don’t cry, Shermaine. I will be even nicer to you in the future. I love you so much, and I don’t care if


    the others don’t care about you because I care. Your parents…”


    Shermaine quickly shook her head and insisted, “No, they’re nice to me. It’s just that they’ve never


    treated me the way you do. We’re not even rted by blood, but you’re still taking such good care of


    me. I don’t think even my mom does that…”


    “How can your mom treat you so poorly?”

    Shermaine’s lips quivered like she was hesitant to say something. She sighed and shook her head


    before confessing, “They treat me well. It’s just that my mom loves my dad even more. Their love is so


    strong that I sometimes get jealous. Besides, they are probably a little disappointed in me now. Things


    had gone so far out of hand, and they are affected greatly. I guess it’s understandable that they are


    upset even though I am their daughter.”


    At that moment, Ka and James were going all out to help their daughter. If they knew what


    Shermaine said about them and how she felt, it is likely that they would treat Shermaine the way Hry


    treated rissa. They would probably call their daughter a thankless wretch.


    Naturally, they would never learn that their daughter held that much distaste towards them.


    Hry, however, was infuriated to hear Shermaine’s words.


    “How can they do this to you? As parents, they should help and love their daughter unconditionally.


    How can they treat you this way? This is too cruel.”


    “No, don’t talk about them like that, Ms. Hry. They are my parents, after all, and they gave me such a


    good life. I have never gone through much hardship throughout my life, and I am content. To be honest,


    if I had grown up in a poor family, I would never turn out to be the way I am. That is why I am thankful


    to have the Smallwoods as my family. I really am.”


    For some reason, Hry’s gaze looked a little strange.


    She was secretly d. Yeah, it’s good that Shermaine grew up in a wealthy family and didn’t suffer. I’m


    d.


    “Still, that won’t do. You are their daughter, and if they don’t love you, then I will. How about I just


    pretend you are my daughter?”


    “That would be wonderful. I am so thankful for how kind you are to me, Ms. Hry.”


    “There’s no need to be thankful. I truly am doing this unconditionally.”


    Shermaine smiled. She was genuinely happy.


    It truly was great for her, wasn’t it?


    Someone was genuinely looking out for her and helping her for free. How could Shermaine not be


    happy?


    This woman… Hah! It’s a waste to not take advantage of her.


    After parting ways with Hry, Shermaine went to the hospital.


    That hospital was none other than the one that Gloria was hospitalized in.


    That was the day Gloria got discharged from the hospital, but rissa never showed up to pick her up.


    Catherine simply called Gloria over the phone to tell her to go back as soon as possible. The former


    even told thetter to stop embarrassing herself in D City. Gloria wouldn’t be able to cause any trouble


    to Matthew and rissa, even if she stayed in the city. That was the only reason why Catherine


    ignored Gloriapletely.


    The Lester family kept insulting rissa and Catherine for being heartless, even though they had


    already expected that treatment. After all, rissa had made things very clear with Mimi thest time


    they met at Zen Hignds.


    That was why they no longer counted on rissa for anything.


    The family settled the paperwork, then spent a small fortune. Naturally, they had to pay for everything


    on their own, so it didn’t count as them borrowing money from rissa. Their trip over was just a trip of


    getting in debt. Naturally, they didn’t have much savings, to begin with, and they paid their debt via their


    credit card. Hence, they were simply changing the party to which they were owing money.


    They never intended to pay rissa all the money they owed her, though.


    As they exited the building, Jacob kept scolding Gloria for spending that much money on a trip to D


    City. He even reprimanded her for getting sick and not dying from it. Gloria had no choice but to endure


    all of his insults with her head down. Mimi, on the other hand, seemed to be used to it and didn’t react


    to her father’s insults.


    The second he got out of the elevator, Jacob bumped into someone. Perhaps he didn’t see the person


    there, or perhaps he couldn’t care even if he had seen the person. Either way, they ended up knocking


    into each other.


    A young woman dropped something on the floor. She looked like she was in a hurry, and she had a


    pair of sunsses and a hat on. Every part of her was concealed, so no one could recognize her.


    Thedy rushed out of the elevator in a hurry. Jacob secretly pocketed the phone she dropped on the


    floor.


    Jacob smiled and only took the phone out of his pocket after he had left the hospital. He checked the


    device out.


    Mimi snatched that phone over suddenly.


    “Dad, did you steal someone’s phone?”


    “Steal? I was just picking it up. Stop talking shit.”


    Mimi had the phone with her. At first, she was pleasantly surprised, but that quickly turned to


    disappointment.


    “Dad, this is the newest branded model. It’s a really expensive device and costs about ten thousand.


    It’s too bad that we can’t unlock the phone.”


    “It’s that pricey? If so, then we’ll probably get a sizeable sum if we sell it.”


    “No, don’t sell it. I love this phone so much. How about we find someone to help us unlock it? Maybe


    it’ll work then.”


    Jacob saw how much his daughter liked the phone and that got him to hesitate about selling the phone.


    Mimi immediately chimed in, “Dad, I have never had a proper phone before, and everyone


    discriminated against me for it. With this, they will no longer look down on me and will even be my


    friend. I might meet better people and when I go to the university, I’d be able to work part-time in the


    studio. I’d end up making so much more money.”


    Gloria stood at the side. She had something to share, but she didn’t dare to voice her opinion.


    Jacob nodded at that moment and said, “Alright then, let’s see if we can find someone to unlock this


    phone.”


    The family of three thought that they were in luck, but they were captured before they even got to find


    someone to help unlock the phone.


    No one could get away with the crime because the evidence was still with them.


    The person who captured them was none other than Shermaine.


    “Shermaine Smallwood? The actress?”


    Mimi was astonished and jealous when she saw Shermaine there. Darn it, she’s so beautiful and


    popr.


    Shermaine’s reputation had already been ruined then, but it was undeniable that she used to be a


    popr actress and was still a beautiful woman. When she stood in front of Mimi, her grace got Mimi


    extremely jealous.


    Shermaine saw how the family of three looked at her and was especially delighted to see Mimi’s


    expression. The young girl’s eyes shone with the kind of admiration that stroked Shermaine’s ego.


    Hmm… there are a few more people than I expected.


    Shermaine grinned and invited them to a luxurious hotel. They had a meal there before they went into a


    private room to chat.


    “Stealing will not reflect nicely on your records, and it is especially bad for Mimi, who is about to have


    her college entrance exams. Wouldn’t you say so?”


    Jacob immediately refuted, “We didn’t steal anything. We only picked it up.”


    “Oh, is that so? But I’ll tell the police that you stole it. Who do you think they’d trust? Me or you?”


    Jacob backed down.


    Mimi, on the other hand, turned to Shermaine and asked, “Ms. Smallwood, what do you want? You


    brought us to such a luxurious ce and treated us to such a good meal. You even let us stay in a


    hotel that nice, and you won’t have done any of that if you had any intention of handing us over to the


    police. So tell us, what do you want from us? Or, more urately, what do you want us to do?”


    Mimi wasn’t an idiot, so she got right to the point.


    Shermaine smiled nonchntly and answered, “Nothing really. I am just upset about how cruel rissa


    was to you even though she is your family, so I decided to help you guys out.”
