Love in Twilight

Chapter 510 You’re Certainly Rich

After Damien returned to his bedroom, Mrs. Faber went to report to him. “Mr. Lawrence, Madam is

sleeping in Neil’s room again.”

Damien raised an eyebrow. “Let her do what she wants.”

Clarissa had class tomorrow. Besides, she had to go for a meeting at Eden Investment in the

afternoon. She had to sleep early and leave early the next day.

The next day, Clarissa spoke to Damien, who was reading on the couch of the living room. “I’m going to

Eden Investment for a meeting in the afternoon. Are you going?”

“You’re going?” Damien asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Yes. If you’re going, I’m hitching a ride.” Clarissa guessed Damien wasn’t going since he was still in

casual clothes.

Damien brought out his phone and made a call.

Clarissa went back to Neil’s room and packed up her things.

Meanwhile, Damien’s call connected.

“Aren’t you going to Florin today?” Damien asked. “Charles wants you to pick your units.”

“I’ve already made my decision based on the rendering.”

“Alright. Come to my place later to pick Clarissa up. She wants to go to Florin.”

“Damien… Damien, you’re being unreasonable.”

Damien hung up.

After that, his phone chimed with many Whatsapp messages. He ignored them, continuing to read his

book.

Even if he didn’t check, he knew who was texting him. He knew about what the messages would be

about, too. No doubt that it was Ray asking, “When did I say I was going to Florin?” and “Going to

Florin was your idea. Why do I have to listen to you?!” and “Am I being used by you again? If you want

me to send Clarissa to Florin, just ask! Why do you have to do this?”

In the end, Damien knew Ray would still come by obediently.

As expected, Ray arrived twenty minutes later. He was even driving his understated but expensive

Volkswagen Phaeton.

Coincidentally, Clarissa came out of the room with her bag.

“Are you leaving, Clarissa? What a coincidence! I’m going to Eden Investment for a meeting. Charles is

getting us some houses, right? I’m going to pick mine. Let’s go.” Ray held his car keys at the ready, not

even bothered to come inside the house.

“Wait a second. Let me say goodbye to Neil first.” Clarissa went to the nursery.

She came back out after about ten minutes, her eyes red.

Ray saw how pitiful Clarissa looked and felt his heart wrench. He shot an accusatory glare at Damien, This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

blaming him for not treating Clarissa right.

Damien remained expressionless, completely unmoved.

Clarissa got into the car, unhappy about going back to Florin. She wanted to spend more time with Neil.

“How much time will it take for you to get a professorship at the University of Florin?” Ray wanted to

cheer Clarissa up, so he purposely didn’t mention Neil.

“It depends on how many papers I publish. I’m currently writing one about national projects, so it might

be soon.”

“Ah, of course. You’re smart. After all, you used to be my student!”

Clarissa smiled. She didn’t really want to think about the past.

“Right. How big of a house are you planning to buy? Why do you suddenly want to buy a house in

Florin?” Clarissa asked Ray.

“It’s a house by Eden Investment, so there’s no worry. The quality will be good. Besides, Damien’s

talking to the district council about getting a school to set up there. Then, there will definitely be a

school district. My estimate is that the house prices will increase to 600 or 700 thousand. The prices

now are at a 20 percent discount, so I’m planning to buy three units of about a thousand square feet in

size as an investment. Then, I’ll also buy a unit that’s two thousand square feet for myself.” Ray was

happily jabbering away. He felt he was getting a great deal.

Clarissa looked at Ray strangely. “Wow! You’re certainly rich.”
