You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 386


    Many loving couples felt thepulsion to announce their love to the entire world.


    They just couldn’t suppress the surge of emotions within them because they were so happy in each


    other’spany.


    rissa understood how Matthew felt but disagreed with his need to be that extravagant.


    She smiled helplessly. “Well then, you’ve got what you wanted. Now everybody knows. Please stop


    photos like this from being circted anymore, will you? I’m not used to situations like this. Besides,


    people may think that we are doing it on purpose to stoke the hype.”


    Matthew remained engrossed in his task as he listened intently to rissa over the phone.


    “Why should we care about what anyone thinks?” he argued in a haughty tone of voice.


    rissa remained silent as she considered his point. He’s right, we shouldn’t care about what others


    think of us. However, the one thing that every person shared was the fact that none of them could


    escape from the judgment and eyes of the world.


    She felt much better. rissa would only fret even more about the opinions of the public if she


    remained fixated on it.


    “You win,” said rissa with a sigh. “Let’s drop this matter, shall we? Carry on with your day, I’m


    hanging up.”


    Matthew stopped her before she could do so. “re, it’s not that I want to win an argument with you.


    This was the right thing to do because it was me who did it.”


    Is he praising himself?


    rissa failed to suppress a chortle. “Why do you sound so pleased with yourself? What did you do


    exactly?”


    “Honey, I don’t dare im credit for anything. I just want you to cheer up, that’s all.”


    His humility pleased rissa.


    He achieved what he set out for, yet he’s still pretending to be obliging.


    “Mission aplished, Matthew. I do feel much better. However, please discuss something like that


    with me beforehand, will you?”


    It was in this way that she hadforted him.


    A hint of pride remained in Matthew’s voice.


    “Okay then.”


    He felt that way because rissa was coaxing him in a gentle voice.


    After she hung up, rissa sumbed to peals ofughter.


    At that moment, Hry sat unseen in the corner of a cafe alone. She was browsing her phone while her


    coffee cooled. Her anger simmered with no outlet as all she saw online was the news of rissa’s


    sess.


    It’s so unfair that my daughter is doing so well whereas I’m here rotting away in filth.


    Is it because I treated her viciously when she was young? Now that she’s leading a good life, why can’t


    she forgive me and give me something as repayment?


    I have raised rissa. Shouldn’t she give me something in return as a gesture of appreciation?


    Hry felt mutinous. All she yearned for was rissa’s repayment. She felt that rissa should give


    her something as it was due to Hry’s sacrifices as a mother that had enabled rissa to live in


    comfort.


    She is now Mrs. Tyson. I’m sure she has more money than she would ever need, anyway.


    Just as she was stewing in anger, a man sat down across from her. He was d in a neat suit and held


    a briefcase in looking businesslike.


    “Mrs. Garrett.”


    Hry jumped at his sudden appearance. “How did it go? Did you find anything?” she demanded in


    impatience, setting down her phone at the prospect of hearing something promising.


    The man nodded sternly. “Regarding Mr. Zach Garrett’spany. When the Stitts girl was married over


    to the Garretts back then, arge sum of money was given as dowry, which was in turn used to develop


    Garrett Group to what it is today. Thergest shareholder of thepany is Yvonne’s mother, Madam


    Stitt. Before she passed away, with the help from the Stitt family, Zach had signed an agreement


    stating that Yvonne would be the sole heir of Garrett Group. He did not have the authority to revise the


    agreement because the Stitt family’s influence in Garrett Group was still immense.”


    “I knew that the scumbag was out to lie to me,” Hry yelled vehemently at the news. “I have been lied


    to for so many years by that asshole.”


    The man across from her remained impassive. This reaction was not unfamiliar to him in his line of


    work. Aspared to others that he had encountered, Hry’s temper was nothing.


    He allowed her to rant until she grew tired before continuing. “Mrs. Garrett, I have found out everything


    that you’ve asked for. If you intend to fight to exercise your rights, I could introduce awyer to you.”


    This man was enterprising and had the foresight to turn a one-time consulting service into a legal


    battle.


    Hry shook her head at once, obviously anxious to be alone. “No need for that. Here are your fees.


    Now get lost.”


    Though the man seemed crestfallen about not being able to contract a subsequent service, he was


    happy enough to have been paid. Departing quickly, he hastened home for a celebration.


    How meaningless it is for rich people to fight over their property.


    To Hry, she associated her fate to endure poverty with the Garrett Group. Biding her time by Zach’s


    side for years, she had clung to the hope of bing Mrs. Garrett one day and for her son to take


    over Garrett Group one day.


    However, after enduring for half her life, it was revealed that she would not be able to get a single thing


    after all.


    Hry was maddened with rage.


    Everybody seemed repulsive to her as she stewed in pessimism over her own fate.


    All I want is a better life for myself, is that too much to ask?


    No, it’s not. God is just unfair.


    Hry was beautiful for as long as she could remember. She could have been born into a rich family


    and married into another.


    However, she had not met good men throughout her life. In her youth, she had poor judgment and


    subsequently dated one scumbag after another. Then, she met rissa’s father who was an honest


    man. He had treated Hry well when they first started dating. Though they lived modestly, those were


    pleasant years for her.


    That did notst long. After meeting James, Hry became convinced that he was the perfect man,


    even while she was pregnant with another man’s child. She lusted for him and schemed to make her


    his, only for her infatuation to be turned into hate by her failure of seducing him.


    rissa’s father had died early. Instead of grieving, Hry felt liberated instead. God had given her the


    opportunity to rewrite the course of her life again. With that hopeful notion, she had left her small town


    behind for D City and met several men there. However, they were either pretending to bevish, or they


    were dirt poor. She had no use for them despite them being in love with her.


    Since God had finally given her an opportunity, she was determined to make the most of it. As Zach’s


    wifey dying, she saw it as the opportunity of a lifetime and held on to a few years before bing


    his second wife.


    Her son was already in his teens. Though she had seeded in her goal of bing Mrs. Garrett, the


    price to pay for it was to endure Yvonne’s cruel ridicule and Zach’s violent temper throughout her son’s


    entire life.


    As she had just discovered, Zach had been lying to her the entire time. My son is not the heir of the


    company. What’s the point of enduring anymore?


    Zach’s mistress?


    Or the insults and assault from him and Yvonne?


    Or the fact that Zach is trying to gain rissa’s favor?


    Why should I endure?


    Since Hry would get nothing, she had no more reason to subject herself to shame and ridicule.


    Since thepany was not willed to her, she would find a way to snatch back what was rightfully hers.


    If she was not able to, she was going to bring Zach down with her at the very least.


    As for rissa, the ungrateful brat, she needed to be taught a lesson for forgetting her roots.


    Isn’t she Mrs. Tyson?


    Her poprity must be off the charts, wouldn’t it?


    That was good. The more popr she was, the happier it made Hry. She was relying on rissa’s


    fame for her scheme to seed.


    It was by scheming that Hry had managed topose herself. Finishing up her coffee, she shopped


    a little before heading home.

    Back at home, she stayed just long enough to put away all of her newly acquired jewelry before


    heading out again.


    Hry remained busy over the next few days. The Garretts had no idea what she was up to.


    On the day that rissa had decided on casting Roxanne as the female lead amongst other roles, she


    was supposed to publicly announce the cast. However, before she couldmence filming, rissa’s


    reputation had taken a severe hit from the emergence of an interview with Hry about how rissa


    had forgotten her roots after being sessful.


    During the interview, Hry disyed exceptional acting skills as she sobbed and wept. Portraying


    herself as a pitiful mother being cast aside by a greedy and ambitious daughter, she spoke at length


    about how rissa did not treat her well and how she disrespected her. rissa’s voice had always


    dripped with malice whenever she threatened Hry. rissa’s huge fanbase had suffered an


    unpleasant shock as Hry’s interview proved to be a sharp contrast to rissa’s public persona.


    Hry had described in great detail rissa’s disobedience and rebelliousness when she was young.


    Her father had died on his way to buy her an expensive dress to cate her when she was in one of


    her tempers. After his demise, Hry had be a single mother. She met a man who loved her who


    she wanted to be rissa’s stepfather, but rissa was indifferent to a mother’s pain by bing


    even more disagreeable than ever. Atst, Hry was forced to leave her hometown. Though rissa


    had held a grudge against her, Hry had always cared for her daughter. However, this effort was never


    repaid.


    When rissa had grown up, she had never epted her mother after she had be sessful.


    Aside from that, rissa had harassed her mother and had various run-ins with her mother’s family.


    ording to Hry, rissa had also relied on her mother’s connections in D City to curry the favor of


    the wealthy. After eliminating one suitor after another, she finallytched on to Matthew, an obviously


    superior specimen.


    Unexpectedly, after her marriage to Matthew, she had pretended not to know her mother, even going all


    out to deny their kinship.


    Hry had also insinuated that the Tysons had never epted rissa who they deemed as an


    opportunistic and maniptive daughter-inw.


    Hry was painted as a victim in the interview, essentially destroying rissa’s reputation. The veracity


    of the interview was not called into question as it was words spoken by her birth mother. The first


    impression that it had left on viewers was that rissa was in the wrong for treating her mother in the


    way it was described.


    That damning clip was circted with such vigor that it had soon made headlines within minutes after


    its release.


    Everybody who had seen it was animatedly discussing if rissa was as bad as her mother made her


    out to be.


    The morality of it was brought into question when some hinted at the possibility of a battle between


    mother and daughter.
