You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 325


    rissa was taken aback by those words. “What do you mean?”


    I don’t remember having any conflict with anyone…


    “Don’t worry,”forted Ya. “It’s all in the past now.”


    “Huh? What’s going on? What happened?”


    Ya drifted off into a monologue. Turns out there was someone known as Old Codger in showbiz. It


    was said that he was a big shot in the industry and was even rumored that he used to be a part of the


    mafia. Even though he had supposedly turned over a new leaf, he still kept his domineering attitude.


    Everyone would shudder at the mention of his name. Paired up with the fact that he had a dark past, no


    one dared to defy him. Unfortunately, Old Codger was notorious for being a pervert. He would


    somehow always seed in getting his hands on whichever women he had his eyes on, with or


    without their consent.


    Then again, it was no surprise. Whoever caved would bepensated while those who refused were


    oppressed in everything they do. Rumors had it that many women in showbiz had fallen victim to him,


    with most of the victims swallowing their anger and hurt. Many more unnumbered women prayed every


    day to not be the next victim.


    Once, when Ya was attending a social event, someone approached her, knowing she was close with


    rissa.


    The person revealed cautiously to Ya that rissa had caught Old Codger’s eye. He had


    identally seen rissa with Ya sharing a meal together and had been keeping a close watch on


    rissa since.


    Old Codger had found out that rissa was @rissa.quigley and was unbothered by the rumors


    about her and multiple men. After all, he would not give up on whoever had caught his fancy. His


    tyrannical attitude allowed him to get his hands on whoever he wanted no matter what.


    Apparently, he had hired people to bring Yael to him. Fortunately, Yael was not intimidated by him and


    rejected his invitation to meet up without hesitation. He even tried approaching Yael through multiple


    means such as business meetings but was shot down by thetter every time.


    That was the main reason why rissa had no clue about what was going on.

    Nheless, Old Codger was adamant. He started spreading words saying that he would not rest until


    he got his hands on rissa. He promised anyone a handsome reward if they could bring rissa out


    to meet him.


    “As you can see, that man is absolutely unscrupulous! How can someone think so mighty of himself is


    a mystery to me,” huffed Ya.


    It wasn’t until Old Codger had dered his intentions on getting rissa did Ya caught wind of the


    news. Ya had intended to warn rissa about Old Codger so that the woman could keep her guard


    up. However, never would Ya have guessed that rissa would be one step ahead by publicizing


    her marriage certificate with Matthew.


    The news of rissa being married definitely shocked Old Codger to his core.


    “So I guess you don’t have to be too worried. Old Codger wouldn’t dare to challenge Mr. Tyson.


    Perhaps you can inform Mr. Tyson about this, and he might be able to help you resolve this issue,”


    Ya concluded.


    rissa broke out in cold sweat after finding out the truth.


    A memory resurfaced in the back of her mind. She recalled receiving messages inviting her out, all of


    which from friends in the industry that she was not close with.


    Does that mean they were nning on betraying me by handing me over to Old Codger in exchange


    for the rewards?


    rissa shuddered at the thought. Never would she have ever expected someone could act sowless


    in a society run byws.


    As for herself, if she were not protected by Matthew, she could have been betrayed by her colleagues


    and vited by Old Codger. I can’t imagine what I’m going to do if that were to actually happen to me…


    His atrocious behavior had gone unchecked for so many years despite a lot of people knowing about


    his disgusting ways. And yet, no one dared to report him to the authorities. This could only mean one


    thing… The answer was self-evident.


    Ya stood waiting on the other end of the call. She noticed that rissa had gone silent. Deep down


    in her heart, Ya knew rissa had been terrified by the news.


    “Don’t be afraid, rissa. It’s a good thing that we know about this beforehand so that necessary


    precautions could be taken. Plus, with Mr. Tyson on your side, I doubt Old Codger would dare to touch


    you.”


    rissa snapped out of her daze. “Yeah. I got it. Thank you, Ms. Zaha.”


    “Why are you thanking me? I know how you’re feeling, rissa. I understand. Unfortunately, the world


    isn’t as safe as we hope it is. There is some evil that we can’t escape from. But I believe one day, all


    evil will be banishedpletely.”


    “You’re right, Ms. Zaha,” answered rissa, her lips pursed into a thin line.


    After hanging up, rissa could not help but recount how lucky she had been. Even though she faced


    some troubles in the past, she had never encountered true evil. After she met Matthew and went under


    his protection, her life had gone rather smoothly. At least, better than the majority…


    I have been in showbiz for so long, yet my reputation is still intact, and I have never been harassed,


    vited nor harmed.


    I have been insanely lucky.


    Even so, rissa was still shaken up by this incident.


    After work, Matthew came home to see rissa seated on the spacious sofa, hugging her legs and


    resting her chin on her knees, staring into space. His heart ached at the sight of rissa looking like a


    bullied preschooler. He strode toward the sofa and took a seat beside her before scooping her onto his


    laps in one swift motion. Matthew then wrapped his right arm around her in hopes of giving herfort.


    He stroked the top of her head before sliding down to her face. Hiding the worry he felt, Matthew


    inquired, “re, what’s wrong?”


    Slowly, rissa lifted her head and gazed at Matthew with tears in her eyes. Upon seeing those


    reddened eyes, Matthew felt his chest tightened.


    “Is there something wrong, re? Don’t be afraid. I’m here. Hubby’s here, okay?”


    rissa’s lips quivered in response before she wrapped her arms around Matthew’s neck and pressing


    herself closer to his chest. Listening to his steady heartbeat, rissa felt safe.


    She took a deep breath, gathering the courage to find her voice. However, her voice was still weak and


    trembling when she managed to speak.


    “Ms. Zaha called today. She told me something terrifying. Even though it’s probably not going to


    happen, I still felt uneasy.”


    “What did she tell you?”


    Matthew stroked her hair gently, masking the anxiety in his heart.


    “Well, it’s about someone called Old Codger. I don’t know who he is but Ms. Zaha told me…”


    Prompted by Matthew, rissa began to tell him everything she learned from Ya, not leaving out a


    single detail.


    Once she finished, rissa waited patiently for Matthew’s reaction. As the seconds ticked by, he still


    had not uttered a sound. Puzzled, rissa pulled away from his chest to meet his eyes before


    instinctively inching away, startled. Matthew’s expression had darkened with a murderous look in his


    eyes.


    “Don’t be like this. You’re scaring me!”


    She gently cradled Matthew’s face in her hand. Regaining his senses, Matthew’s gaze softened as he


    pulled her into a deeper embrace. He nted a kiss on her forehead, deciding to ignore his desire to


    rip Old Codger into pieces for the time being.


    rissa pouted. “I heard that Old Codger is quite powerful, so don’t be too reckless. He didn’t know


    that I was married before. Now that he does, he probably wouldn’te for me anymore, right?”


    “Yeah, don’t worry. No one will darey their hands on you,” answered Matthew absentmindedly.


    You’re not getting away with this so easily, Old Codger. He clenched his fists.


    “I know. After all, I’m Mrs. Tyson. Who would be so brazen to do so?”


    Having shared her problems, rissa decided to change the topic, refusing to dwell on the negativity


    any longer. Smiling brightly, she tugged Matthew’s sleeves.


    “Oh, have you heard? Ellie and Shawn got back together! Damian is even referring to Ellie as Mrs.


    Hayes now! He wouldn’t if Ellie had not allowed it. Looks like there really is a chance between those


    two…”


    rissa continued to rhapsodize over the new subject, forgetting the gloom she felt just a moment ago.


    Matthew yed along as he pretended to have forgotten the previous topic as well.


    However, when rissa put Damian to bed, Matthew fished out his phone and started giving orders to


    his men.


    Anyone who dared to lust for his woman shall pay the price, regardless of who or how powerful they


    were.


    The news of rissa being Mrs. Tyson had not only shocked the world, but even the Tysons were also


    caught off guard.


    Not even in their wildest dreams would they have imagined Matthew and rissa to havepleted


    their marriage registration way before their numerous attempts in obstructing the rtionship.


    To the Tysons, the date on the marriage certificate was a harsh p across the face, especially to


    Margaret and Yuliana.


    The day the couple had registered their marriage was long before the Tysons had begun to stir up


    troubles. Not only were their ns futile, but they felt yed by rissa.


    All those vows saying she would not marry into the Tysons were nothing but lies. After all, she had


    been married to Matthew ages ago.


    To make matters worse, Margaret found out about the news through someone else. The shock and


    anger she registered almost gave her a heart attack.


    Even though that did not happen, Margaret still fainted due to anger. After a quick check-up at the


    hospital, the doctors ruled it off as nothing but sudden and intense agitation.


    Despite that, waves of wrath and disappointment still pulsed through Margaret’s veins once she


    regained consciousness.


    Why?


    After all that I’ve done, turns out Matthew had already been married! Not only is this him humiliating us,


    but this is also proof that Matthew no longer regards any of us as significant! He didn’t even tell me that


    he was married, and I’m his mother! He kept the news to himself for three years! Even now, Matthew


    continues to do as he pleases, disregarding our views. It’s as if that boy has cut us offpletely!


    “I won’t, and will never acknowledge that woman as part of the family! I won’t, and will never


    acknowledge that woman as part of the family! I won’t, and will never…” Margarety on the hospital


    bed, repeating the same phrase over and over again.


    She continued to repeat the sentence non-stop. After a while, everyone around her had gotten


    indifferent, tuning out her voice as she droned on.


    Throughout the whole time, Yuliana was seated at the bedside. The maids were attending to Margaret,


    taking care of her needs. George had returned home a while ago. Matthew, on the other hand, did not


    even bother staying once he knew Margaret was fine.


    Soon, Ellie came to visit. Upon hearing what Margaret was saying, she couldn’t help but chuckle.


    “Grandma, you can stop now. Repeating that sentence over and over isn’t going to do anything. With


    things as it is, whether or not you acknowledge their marriage won’t bother Uncle Matt and Aunt re


    either way. They would still carry on with their lives as usual, no matter how furious you are. Not even


    your rage can separate them from each other.”


    “Ellie! Stop spewing nonsense!” warned Yuliana.


    Realizing her words had been inappropriate, Ellie stuck out her tongue sheepishly. Upon noticing


    Margaret’s darkened expression, Ellie quickly came up with an excuse and fled.


    Truth be told, Ellie believed the main reason Margaret had not epted the marriage was because of


    her own pride. The woman had no way of extricating herself from the hole she had dug, while Matthew


    and rissa naturally would not give her an out either. In the end, all that she could do was pitching a


    fit like a three-year-old kid.


    All this fuss stemmed from Margaret’s desire to be significant or heard. As furious as she was then, she


    would still need to acknowledge the fact sooner orter.


    Of course, even if Margaret refused to acknowledge rissa as her daughter-inw in the future, it still


    would not affect rissa.


    After all, they did not live together, and it really wasn’t necessary for them to be in touch with each


    other. Even during the holidays, Matthew had the choice of whether or not to visit the rest of the


    Tysons, and if he did, rissa would not be forced to tag along. No one decided that two families must


    come together as one after marriage, anyways. Not to mention, there were no sayings that one should


    get the blessings of family members after getting married.


    All that mattered is that two people were happy with each other in marriage.
