You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 278


    It was a battle between a former actress and a topical screenwriter; an unavoidable confrontation


    between two fascinating characters.


    The drama between the two piqued the interest of the public. Intrigued, the masses set the Inte into


    a frenzy with their continuous searches on an array of search engines and social media tforms.


    However, only Verona’s photos went viral, featuring her in a disheveled state along with a scandalous


    post identifying her as an escort.


    It was astonishing to see none of rissa’s photos published online. In fact, all the news associated


    with her social media handle (@rissa.quigley) were entirely removed, be it an image or a post.


    That actress was quite popr some time back. She even locked horns with rissa and hinted that


    thetter entertained the unspoken rules in the entertainment business.


    Somehow, the table turned, and Verona had be an escort.


    To the general public who had been following the gossips, it finally dawned on them that rissa


    appeared to be the one with solid backing.


    Someizens evenmented that the big shot supporting rissa was the mastermind who


    orchestrated Verona’s downhill career.


    Rumor had it that whoever that had offended rissa would face adverse consequences. Remember


    the award-winning actress, Shermaine Smallwood? She’s behind bars. And Jamie Trudall disappeared


    completely from the eyes of the public.


    The gossips continued to surface… Ms. Grandes, a well-known socialite from D City had it worse. She


    attempted to win over rissa’s beau andnded herself in a family scandal. None of the Grandes was


    spared.


    Many tittle-tattles were discussing how powerful rissa’s background was, that one must never


    offend her.


    Thements went on and on…


    With all the juicy stories revolving around rissa, it did not take long before she became the hottest


    topic in town.


    Yet, canards about rissa never seemed to stop.


    The woman herself was totally baffled by the news she read online, particrly the part about her


    powerful backgrounds.


    It’s absurd how a petty argument with Verona could generate a ton of nonsense, turning me into


    someone who’s above thew.


    While rissa was ying with her phone, a man hugged her from behind and took her phone away.


    Subsequently, he turned her around and nted a kiss on her lips.


    Aroused, he made further amorous advances, tranting his lustful desires intoscivious


    actions. Morning exercise? This will do.


    Thereafter, Matthew went to take a shower whereas rissa slugged in bed, not wanting to move a


    muscle.


    When he came out from the bathroom, he saw her using her phone again.


    “Still reading? Didn’t you say that your eyes are dry and sore recently? Are they any better now?”


    Words of concern disguised the mocking tone in his voice.


    He gestured to confiscate her phone.


    She was quick to avoid it. Grinning, she replied, “I was just reading some news. Oh by the way, did you


    order someone to take action on Verona?”


    “Verona? Who’s that?”


    He appeared ignorant. Turning around, he removed his towel and started getting dressed.


    rissa’s cheeks were flushed upon ncing at his naked body. She quickly covered her eyes with her


    hands.


    A sudden silence filled the air. As soon as he put on his pants, he turned around to find his woman


    laying on the bed, abashed.


    Amused, he chuckled softly and approached her. He then leaned over and took her hands away,


    revealing a bashful face.


    “Why are you so shy? There’s nothing you haven’t seen before.”


    She felt so ufortable to be stared at.


    Swiftly, she pushed him away and then propped herself up.


    “I was asking you about Verona, the actress who auctioned herself for a day at the charity event. The


    one who’s quite pretty,” rissa changed the topic.


    Matthew pondered while buttoning up his shirt. “I can’t recall. Anyhow, I didn’t ask anyone to do


    anything to her.”


    “Huh? It wasn’t you?”


    Astonished, she cupped her face and started wondering who else might have helped her.


    Her words upset Matthew slightly.


    Who else? Does she have that many men?


    He reached out and tapped the tip of her nose lightly as he said, “I was just kidding. Who else could it


    be, if it wasn’t me?”


    She arched her brows. Since when did this man like to joke so much?


    “You don’t believe me?”


    “No, that’s not it…”


    She presented her a luring smile. “You’re the best, Uncle Matthew!”


    “Uh-huh, aren’t I always?”


    He stroked her head gently, smoothed his clothes, and then left the room.


    Not an ounce of guilty conscience was felt even though he had robbed others of their credit.


    He would never allow other men to stand up for rissa and then have her channeled her gratitude


    toward another person, other than him.


    The moment Matthew left Zen Hignds, he queried Donnie right away.


    “Check on Verona’s case and find out who did it.”


    Donnie already had the answer without needing to check. He was very well-informed about all news


    revolving around rissa because he had been monitoring her team closely. Otherwise, the


    sensational news on the Inte would not have been deleted in a sh.


    He knew about the conflict between Verona and rissa, like the back of his palm. Hence, he had


    prepared an action n in advance and was ready to execute it at Matthew’smand.


    However, Matthew was not aware of the drama between the two girls. rissa did not bring it up to him


    either. As a result, Matthew did not call for an action to be taken even though the team continued to


    keep an eye on its development.


    In conclusion, Tyson Corporation did not make any move. Verona’s fall was the work of Ya helped


    by Henry. In addition, Luke also yed a part in causing Verona to hit rock bottom.


    A glint fleeted across Matthew’s eyes. “Luke?”


    What a nosy fellow!


    Oh well, rissa will never know about his good deed.


    “Don’t let re find out about what Luke did.”


    Donnie was not surprised of that request. “Noted, Mr. Tyson.”


    Luke had no idea that someone else had taken credit for his work. Then again, if he wanted rissa to


    know about it, he would not have been so low-key about it.


    Meanwhile, Luke was having a great time hanging out with a young girl, drinking. He was often


    surrounded by attractive girls; some were more gorgeous than rissa. As a yboy, he never


    considered himself bing besotted with one girl.


    It was hard to tell if he had a hidden agenda for helping rissa.


    Thedies ate, drank, and joked around, pleasing the men while they had a jolly good time being


    served like a king. They teased and flirted with one another.


    Suddenly, the conversation led to Verona.


    “Tsk, that woman! Admittedly, she does have a voluptuous body. I wanted to sleep with her initially, but


    she was ying hard to get. Now? Pfft! I’m no longer interested even if she begs me for it. I wonder


    how many men that slut have slept with.”


    “Hahaha… Look who’s talking? You’re a fool for rejecting what’s been presented on a silver tter for


    you while insisting to go on a wild goose chase for what you couldn’t get. Are you seriously thinking


    that those famous actresses are all pure and innocent? They’ve all started with small roles and then


    slowly climbed up the socialdder. Who knows if they’ve done some sexual favors in exchange for


    bigger roles? It’s just that no one has exposed their dirty secrets. They’re nothingpared to this


    fresh, immacte belle beside me.”


    A blush of embarrassment spread across the young girl’s cheeks. She was indeed an amateur, who


    had just stepped foot into the industry.


    Each had their own favorites. Some of these rich yboys liked to toy with actresses.


    “Precisely! By the way, I like that popr screenwriter, who’s the talk of the town recently. She’s


    beautiful and delightfully charming, ooh…”


    “Screenwriter? Oh, I remember. Yes, that one looks alluring. Why don’t you go ahead?”


    “I wanted to, but…”


    Smash!


    Luke was drinking indifferently. Upon hearing how the two men were discussing rissa, he chucked


    his ss at them. Though it missed the targets, but the two men were sshed all over, shocked.


    There was a heavy silence in the private lounge. Luke’s abrupt action thrust him into the limelight.


    “Oops, my hand slipped,” he said casually with a skin-deep grin.


    N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    Obviously, nobody believed his words.


    “Luke, did I say anything wrong and upset you?”


    Luke smirked while ying with the hair of the woman sitting next to him. His deep eyes twitched


    slightly.


    “Are you two tired of living?”


    “Luke?”


    “Don’t you know whose woman is that screenwriter?”


    “She’s yours, Luke? No wonder I have the impression that you’re infatuated to her at the charity auction


    few days back. Haha, sorry, it’s my fault, I totally forgot about that. Rest assured that I won’tment


    on her further. However, if you’re bored with the screenwriter, do you think that…”


    “Go screw yourself!” Luke cursed.


    “Choose your words wisely. If something unwholesomees out from your mouth ever again, trust


    me, I’ll make sure it’s sewed shut for the rest of your life.”


    A murderous intent appeared on Luke’s face, making everyone present jump out of their skins. The


    stared at each other and quickly apologized in trepidation. No one dared to utter give another passing


    remark.


    Luke did not bother to exin much, but simply dered, “rissa is not my girl. However, don’t cross


    the line.”


    That was a reminder as well as a stern warning.


    Subsequently, he left with one of the women.


    Dumfounded, his gang exchanged looks with one another. Sipping wine, someone asked softly,


    “What’s up with Luke?”


    “Why is he so protective of the screenwriter if she’s not his woman? Are they rted?”


    “What nonsense! Don’t we know all of his rtives? Is she a friend?”


    “Friend? Have you seen Luke having any friends from the opposite sex?”


    “I’m as clueless as you, but it does seem like Luke has fallen head over heels for that woman. Didn’t he


    go all out at the auction?”


    None of the yboys had the slightest idea of what was going on, mainly because none of them knew


    what love was.


    One of the women who was surrounding them longed for true love, but had soon forgotten all about it


    ever since she became an escort. In fact, she concluded that true love only existed in fairy tales.


    She was the only one who could read between the lines that night while the other men were perplexed.


    She said directly to the gang, “You guys don’t understand, do you? Mr. Harrison wants to protect that


    woman even though he doesn’t have her. This is because he loves her wholeheartedly.”
