You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 249
Matthew Tyson, the president of Tyson Corporation, singing as he proposed to his fiancée on her
borate birthday banquet.
That alone was enough to be the headlines of the newspapers and tabloids for the next few weeks,
should someone leak the details of rissa’s birthday banquet to the public.
Unlike the members of the public, those at the venue that day were already mind-blown by how
romantic and incredible the proposal was.
She must be the happiest woman in the world!
In the eyes of the party guests, rissa was a talented beauty who had the perfect fiancé, not even to
mention how in love they were with each other.
What had just unfolded before them seemed like one of those universal ideal goals in lifeing into
realization. Thedies at the banquet could not even hide their envy anymore. A man like Matthew was
simply too difficult to find.
On the other hand, the fellow gentlemen at the scene also had mixed emotions. They were impressed
by the entire proposal, but they were also scratching their heads in slight confusion. Wasn’t Matthew
Tyson known to be cold and uptight?
Does he have a twin or something?
“Matt, you’re totally ruining the market for us! I knew that you y the piano, but singing? And you sing
so well! We’ve been friends for more than thirty years. Why didn’t you tell me about this?”
Yarick genuinely looked as if he had suffered a huge blow.
After all, he had believed all this while that even though he was not as handsome or sessful as
Matthew, he was better at charming thedies at the very least.
Who would have known that a “cold-hearted” man like him knew all the moves to steal a woman’s
heart?
How am I supposed to appeal thedies now?
Yarick was definitely the only one having those thoughts at the scene.
Jeremy, who had gone by the title of “D City’s Number One Ladies’ Man” for ages, could not help but
concede defeat to Matthew after everything that happened that day.
As for Ellie, rather than feeling jealous of rissa for having a man like Matthew, she felt rather
impressed and told herself that she would not ept any marriage proposals unless her future
husband came up with something as good as what her uncle did.
Watching the passionate couple locked in a tight embrace as if they were the only ones in the room,
Ellie shook her head and sighed.
“I’ve been wondering for so long why Uncle Matt requested for a piano to be set up. I thought that he
might have invited a pianist or something. Who would have thought that Uncle Matt himself would be
performing!”

Upon hearing that, rissa took a more intent look at Matthew.
She had not regained herposure since his touching confession.
She was so thrilled that she was squealing in delight internally, and the moment that she met gazes
with Matthew, her face would turn even redder. She had never realized how deeply in love with him she
was till that moment.
Of course, it did not mean that Matthew had never made her heart skip a beat before the proposal, but
everything felt more intense knowing that Matthew had put so much effort into the preparations.
It felt as if she was a drama heroine who had fallen head over heels for her handsome senior after
watching him y basketball at the basketball courts. A refreshing, exciting kind of romance was
blossoming between them.
Oh, I can’t believe that I just had a super good-looking man ying the piano and singing with his
baritone voice to confess his heartfelt feelings for me!
This is so romantic! He’s so hot…. So hot!
In rissa’s head, she was already spinning around in circles in Matthew’s arms, squealing and
laughing.
However, in reality, she was sneaking yful nces at Matthew with her face pink as a peach.
“You… How did you think of that?” She asked shyly, twiddling her thumbs.
Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine Matthew toe up with something that impressive, not
to mention that he kept everyone who prepared the birthday banquet in the dark about his
performance.
Matthew seemed to rx a little as he smiled at her.
He had been quite nervous when he sang and yed the piano moments ago, but he was good at
putting up a poker face, and nobody could tell back then. Even when he yed a wrong note, the
crowd did not seem to notice since they were all dazed by the surprises.
As Matthew admired his little girl’s flustered but delighted face, he felt that her happiness was worth all
the effort that he had put in.
At the same time, he must confess that he had never felt that anxious in his entire life.
Matthew held up rissa’s hand and stroked her ring finger. The ring around her finger was a newly-
prepared blue sapphire ring. “Do you like it?”
Pursing her lips, rissa nodded subtly.
Matthew chuckled, “That’s good to hear.”
He did not need to hear her reasons, for her smile was all that he needed.
And to protect that pure smile of hers, he needed more people to know that she was his woman and
how much he loved her.
Surely, the incidents that transpired at the birthday banquet would give a clear message to many
people that rissa meant a lot to him. That way, they wouldn’t dare hurt her so easily.
Unaware of Matthew’splicated thoughts and fears, rissa was grinning meekly from ear to ear. Is
this what one would describe as “smiling like an idiot”?
Well, it doesn’t matter. She’s the love of my life.
“Wow, I can’t believe that Mr. Tyson is actually such a loving man!”
Sighs and exmations could be heard from the crowd from time to time. Many people were obviously
feeling envious.
As one might expect, Sienna was one of those people. She could no longer put up a fake smile and
simply stood there by the side with a glum face. Only she knew about the emotional rollercoaster
ongoing within her.
Staring dispassionately at the intimate couple in the distance, Sienna could not help but think that she
had been invited to rissa’s birthday banquet just to be provoked and aggravated.
The intensity of her jealousy at that moment wasparable to her disdain for rissa not too long
ago.
When she first found out that rissa had gotten together with Matthew, she had felt rather indifferent.
Back then, she had never considered rissa a worthy rival and always ignored her presence despite
the fact that rissa had been together with Matthew all that while. After all, her big ego told her that
she was definitely wife material, while rissa was the frumpy little mistress who was unimportant in
the big picture because Matthew could never openly acknowledge a rtionship with his mistress.
With those thoughts in mind, Sienna had always felt superior to rissa, though she had not
expressed her contempt for her in the open.
However, in a matter of minutes, her expectations and beliefspletely crumbled into dust.
Sienna could not bring herself to ept the fact that Matthew chose to go against his family and had
just proposed to rissa in front of such a big crowd. More rmingly, his touching love song for her
was like a message to the whole world that rissa Quigley would be his future wife.
Amidst the joyous atmosphere, Sienna felt like a clown who was being humiliated by Matthew and
rissa.
As the people around her continued to buzz andment on how Matthew and rissa were a match
made in heaven, Sienna could no longer bear to stay at the scene any longer and walked off.
On the surface, it seemed like Sienna had finally conceded defeat. However, something shady was
bubbling up within her.
While she had always loathed those who let themselves be used as pawns, the shock and misery she
felt had overridden any sense of rationality within her.
Engulfed by rage, all that Sienna could think of was revenge. Even if I’m being used as a pawn, so be
it.
Hmph. The birthday banquet has been so exciting, hasn’t it? Let me make liven things up even more!
Meanwhile, nobody seemed to have noticed or cared that Sienna just left the room.
The guests were only interested in the lovely couple and the many celebrities who attended the
birthday banquet.
And just like that, everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and helped themselves to the fine food and
wine.
Just as everything seemed to be so peaceful and well, a bunch of unwanted guests seemed to stand
out from the crowd with expressions as if they were ready to make an ugly scene any moment. Zach,
Hry, Yvonne, and Mason had been standing in the crowd ufortably for quite some time.
After arriving at the banquet, before they could even talk to rissa, the iconic proposal unfolded
before their eyes without warning.
Zach was actually rather happy about the romantic proposal. After all, having a stepdaughter who was
so precious to Matthew Tyson was good news to him. In fact, he was already feeling blissful from the
prospects of bing the stepfather of the future mistress of Tyson Corporation alone.
All in all, Zach’s happiness was pretty genuine, no matter what ulterior motives he had.
Mason, who stood beside him, was very much feeling the same way. In fact, witnessing the proposal
made him more sure of his decision to marry Yvonne. We would be inws, am I right?
Meanwhile, the twodies in the group had rather scathing expressions on their faces, a stark contrast
from their malepanions.
Yvonne could not bear to see rissa being happy at all. All that while, she had prayed for rissa to
marry off to a miserable man so that she could scorn her for the rest of her life. To her utter horror,
reality turned out to be theplete opposite.
On the other hand, Hry had mixed emotions.
Her initial hopes hade true. However, from the bottom of her heart, she still felt that none of that
happiness and joy should belong to rissa. Shermaine deserves this more than her!
Only Shermaine deserves such romance. The birthday banquet, the perfect fiancé, and the prospect of
bing Mrs. Tyson… All of it… All of it belongs to her!
Hry felt her blood pressure rise as she held back her rage such that she would not cry out those
words in front of all the guests.
Everything that she had put effort into in the past was done in the hopes that Shermaine would live the
life that rissa enjoyed.
The irony in everything that she had witnessed at the birthday banquet felt like a thorn in her heart. So
what if I did all those things for Shermaine? That distasteful woman gets to enjoy it all in the end!
How did things even end up like this?
Zach suddenly gave her a heavy pinch on the arm, bringing her back to her senses. She was greeted
by his cold, piercing gaze.
“What’s with those eyes, Hry?” His words were a clear warning.
Hry’s eyes were burning in rage and malevolence. Some guests around her had noticed and were
buzzing about her.
Simrly, rissa caught sight of spite radiating from her mother’s eyes and simply responded with an
emotionless stare.
The two of them did not seem like mother and daughter at all. Hmph. We are more like sworn enemies.
Zach was not entirely sure what was on Hry’s mind, but he could sense from her expressions that if
she were to step out of line, things would turn ugly really quickly, and her rtionship with rissa
would be done for.
He would not let her ruin his bright future with a tantrum.
Hry was a little scared of him and tried to make her displeasure less apparent.
“It’s nothing.”
“Hmph. Hry, let me just tell you this. Don’t try anything funny. If you ruin this party, I’ll never forgive
you.”
Hry replied softly, “I understand.”
Turning in rissa’s direction, Zach smiled at her and dragged the entire family to walk up to her.
“Happy birthday, ry,” he said.
rissa seemed unmoved. After some obvious nudges from her husband, Hry also spoke, “Happy
birthday.”
“Thank you.” rissa’s almost sounded as dead as her mother’s.
It was simply too easy to tell if Hry was really meant those words. Her spite and unwillingness were
written all over her face.
