Love In Twilight By Tiny Mountains Chapter 166

Chapter 166 A Check Worth Five Hundred Thousand Dollars

Madelynn kept crying, as if she couldn’t find the right words.

“Before this, I told you that your corneas came from my father. But the other day, my mother told me

that I was wrong. She also said that the death of my father’s anniversary is actually one day later than

the date that we know. She was afraid of being poor, and she couldn’t think of any other way to raise

me on her own. It just so happened that the dean of the hospital was a distant relative of ours. I don’t

know what my mother did, but she managed to make everyone believe that the donor of your cornea

was my father. She thought that you were destined for great things, so… Damien, my mother lied to

both of us for so many years, and I’ve always thought of myself as your savior. I’m so sorry, Damien. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

I’m so ashamed! I’ve already told my mother off for this.”

This was the cover story Madelynn and Monica had decided on.

They felt that they wouldn’t be able to keep the truth under wraps now that Theresa was awake.

Damien would find out sooner or later, and they would be better off telling him the ” truth” on their own.

By pushing the blame on Monica, at the very least, Madelynn would remain innocent in his eyes.

“What?” Damien looked like it was his first time hearing this. “Then, who’s the actual donor of my

corneas?”

He didn’t seem to know anything about this. Theresa and Clarissa hadn’t told him anything.

“I don’t know, Damien. I’m sorry. I brought your house deed back, and I’m too ashamed to stay there

anymore. I can’t believe I’ve been thinking of myself as your savior all these years.” Madelynn buried

her face in her hands as she wept.

“Alright, alright. You can continue to stay there. Now, go home and spend the holidays with your

mother.” Damien was telling her to leave.

“Don’t you blame me?” she asked.

“No, I don’t.”

“I’ll get going, then. Aren’t you going to see me off?” Madelynn looked reluctant to leave.

“I need to accompany my wife.”

Madelynn gritted her teeth and left.

Damien went upstairs.

At the same time, the door to the other room on the first floor shut silently.

Theresa had already gone to sleep, but she woke up to go to the washroom. She opened the door and

saw Damien chatting with another woman.

She knew it wasn’t good to eavesdrop, but she did it for her daughter’s sake. As she stood

there and listened to them for a while, she didn’t expect to hear this.

This meant that this woman and her mother had been enjoying the benefits of her husband’s sacrifice

for the past six years.

Damien had handled it well.

Clarissa was tidying her things. Now that it was the holiday season, she finally had the time to do so.

“This is for you.” Damien held his hand out.

“What is it?” She reached out.

It was a check for five hundred thousand dollars. Indeed, it had been a long time since Damien had last

given her money.

It reminded her that she was selling herself for money. She didn’t have the right to get jealous.

“Thanks.” She forced out a smile.

She was the only one who knew how much effort she had to put into it.

Five hundred thousand dollars for ten days of her presence was a high price to pay.

As if afraid that the check would sprout wings and fly off, Clarissa scrambled around to find something

to keep it.

Finally, she stuffed it in between the pages of Financial and Cost Management.

Money was all that was left between them.

As Clarissa walked past Damien, he grabbed her by the jaw. He was reminded of her playing with the

cat downstairs.

For some reason, that angered him.

“I’m paying you five hundred thousand dollars for ten days. You have to keep me happy for the next ten

days, so smile!” he ordered.

He could tell how forced her smile was. She was no longer as happy-go-lucky as before.

“Haven’t I always been smiling? I smiled when we were setting off fireworks, while we were having

dinner, and even when Madelynn came.” At the mention of Madelynn, Clarissa’s heart froze.

“I want you to please me in bed,” Damien commanded into her ear.

“Fine.”

They didn’t have to go to work the next day, so Clarissa did her best to please him that night.

When she woke up the next day, her mind was still in a daze. She didn’t even know what day it was.

“Clarissa, you have a delivery.” Damien was calling her from downstairs, snapping her back to her

senses

She didn’t even know when he got out of bed.

As she was about to leave the room, she glanced at the trash can. It was almost filled with tissues and

condoms.

She was afraid Mrs. Faber would see them when she came up to tidy the room, so she wanted to throw

it out herself.

Clarissa put on the loungewear Theresa had got her and went downstairs to take out the trash.

When she headed downstairs to the living room, she saw that it was filled with people.

Almost instinctively, she hid the trash behind her.
