The sensation caused by Hilary’s first video clip shaming her daughter, Clarissa had barely peaked when the second video was released on the same day.
She portrayed herself as a pitiable woman and a tragic figure.
When she was young, she lost her husband and her daughter was not filial. The next husband she married was crueler and she was abused. She lived in humiliation for many years, hoping that her daughter would treat her well when she grew up but unexpectedly, the daughter rejected her when the daughter married a member of a wealthy family. She mustered enough courage to divorce her husband and hoped for her daughter’s support. This was a desperate move, otherwise, she would not be talking about the family’s affairs in public.
She only hoped her daughter would lend some financial support to her and her young child. Her pitiful situation did arouse the sympathy of some netizens.
After all, from the start till now, Clarissa had not shown any response nor did she attempt to clarify anything. As for Tyson Corporation, there was no official comment.
Silence was often interpreted as an acknowledgment of guilt as they had no defense.
Naturally, even when they sympathized with Hilary, pitied her, or even believed her, they would not dare to criticize any party. Instead, they expressed support for Hilary and wished that she could get what she deserved.
At this moment, several hours had passed since the second video was released and night was approaching.
Clarissa had taken dinner with her son and her husband. The three of them played for a while in the hall.
Matthew got up to answer his phone. When he came back, Clarissa looked at him questioningly.
Matthew smiled to allay her worries. “It’s nothing. Don’t worry.”
“I have nothing to worry about. It’s the other party who should worry. I’m just a little angry and sad. Is it bad timing for my movie? I have barely started shooting and so many things are happening.”
As she lamented, Damian lifted his tiny face, got up, and hugged her.
“Mommy, don’t be sad. You’ll feel better when I hug you.”
This child always filled her heart with warmth at the most unexpected times.
Her heart was touched and so she held him and kissed him hard. The little guy giggled and they played together again.
As Clarissa played with the little guy, she forgot whatever had upset her.
After tucking Damian to bed, she soaked herself in the bathtub. It was then that thoughts of the movie returned. All types of incidents and mishaps had occurred from the start of the movie as if it was cursed. She was worried if these problems would continue to arise.
The more she thought of it, the more upset Clarissa felt. She flapped her hands in the bubbles and let out a sharp scream.
The scream brought Matthew into the bathroom.
He opened the door nervously and came upon Clarissa sitting in the tub full of bubbles that partially covered her lovely delicate face and rosy cheeks.
“What are you coming in here for? Get out, get out!”
Clarissa quickly reacted and tried to chase out the intruder.
Matthew took a good look and was sure that she was right as rain.
Now that he had entered the bathroom, he was not about to leave.
He asked again for confirmation. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. I just feel like screaming to release my tension.”
Matthew laughed at this reply.
He laughed as he said. “Yeah, you do need to scream every now and then to release tension.”
At that, he unbuttoned his trousers slowly and at the same time took off his gray V-neck sweater, revealing his strong chest and muscles. His trousers hung on his waist dangerously, threatening to fall off as he walked slowly towards Clarissa.
Seeing Matthew’s stance, Clarissa quickly covered her assets but she felt her reaction was somehow awkward.
The awkwardness was quickly reflected in her expression.
“You… go out, please. I’m not done yet. Let me…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Matthew was already in the tub with all his clothes removed.
There were a lot of bubbles in the tub and no obvious signs of arousal for the time being. However, this physical contact and closeness had already weakened her resistance.
What followed was natural and need not be described.
After their activity in the tub, Clarissa felt it was more tiring than doing it in bed. Even her strands of hair felt drained of energy, not to mention her body.
It was as she had said, screaming did release tension.
Darn!
It was a different type of screaming and a different kind of tension.
Clarissa wanted to complain but she was totally exhausted. The moment she touched her bed, she fell asleep.
Any complaints would have to wait until the next day.
However, the next day, before she could bring anything up to Matthew, Hilary had posted the third video.
The contents of the video were not Hilary but obviously taken without the subject’s knowledge or permission. It was also incomplete.
The was taken years ago when Clarissa and Catherine were humiliated by the Tysons. Kneeling on the floor, Catherine swore Clarissa would never marry a Tyson.
It did not reveal the whole truth and was obviously edited.
The emphasis on the video was that Clarissa was a horrible person. She was disliked by the Tysons, she had sworn never to marry a member of that family, she did not care about the well-being of her own grandmother who had sworn an oath and had married Matthew despite all that.
She only cared about herself. In order to marry herself into a rich family, she did not care that Matthew’s parents opposed the marriage. She did not care that her grandma had sworn an oath of life and death. Wasn’t that the personality of an evil woman?
Apparently Hilary staked her all to destroy Clarissa.
This seemed to be a quarrel between mother and daughter but it was all one-sided. This had caused an uproar among the netizens.
From Hilary’s point of view, how much pain and sorrow had she endured before she would go against her daughter and reveal what a horrible person she was? How much hatred did she harbor to make her spill the beans?
Now that the video clips were being released one after another, even though the netizens did not dare to defame Clarissa, some of them could not hold back their criticism.
In my opinion, Clarissa’s total lack of response shows that she is guilty.
I think she might be planning a Jedi counterattack. I didn’t expect that the new year’s drama would turn out to be a mother-and-daughter battle. I have never seen such a plot before. How ruthless is the daughter and how much does the mother hate her daughter…
It takes two to tango. When a mother and daughter turn against each other, both must be responsible in some way. We dare not put the blame solely on Mrs. Tyson, but we implore her to come out and explain. Deal with it. After all, being an enemy with your own mother is hardly honorable.
Yes, I think so, too. Has humanity degraded to this point now? Is it good for this kind of thing to go viral on the internet? Isn’t it tragic for such drama to go on between mother and daughter?
In addition, some people could not help but hint: I suspect the one whose surname starts with Q is not a good person.
It’s not good for a daughter to quarrel in this way with her mother.
If I have such a daughter, I would rather have strangled her at birth.
Clarice was stunned into silence.
She put her computer aside and called Matthew on the phone.
The moment the line was connected, Clarissa spoke coldly making a request to him. “I’m posting an update. After that, you send your lawyer to see her.”
Matthew did not question her but did as she requested.
Finally, Clarissa responded to the video posts.
“Yes, there is such sorrow in my heart, too. To be born your daughter is the worst nightmare and most painful experience in my life. The show you directed and acted in is certainly more skillfully done than mine as a new director of movies. However, I shall not reciprocate your actions because it is too disgusting. It’s better that we meet in court.”
This was just a short message but it revealed her attitude totally.
After reading Clarissa’s post, netizens tried to analyze what she meant.
First of all, from her words, it could be seen that she disliked and even hated her mother, Hilary. This is for sure.
Furthermore, she revealed that Hilary’s posts were all self-directed and acted out so it was untrue. The motive behind them was anyone’s guess.
In addition, seeing her mother in court could mean that she was certain of her innocence or that with Matthew behind her, she feared nothing.
As to whether she was innocent or was she as bad as Hilary had painted her, it was too early to conclude.
However, to battle it out in court certainly meant that they were not on talking terms.
Whichever way one looked at it, her mother was the one who birthed and nurtured her so going to court was a ruthless act. Many people, standing on moral grounds, did not agree with Clarissa’s approach.
Our society is most concerned about practicing filial piety. For whatever reason it might be, Clarissa had gone too far by taking her mother to court.
Yes, that’s true. Mothers are special. Perhaps her mother had unrevealed torments. There is no need for you to push her so far. Do not forget that her blood flows in your veins.
And the comments went on.
Clarissa was really upset with these people who did not know the truth but always presumed that mothers were good characters.
Again, she disabled comments.
After that, the Tyson Corporation posted an official statement and there was one in Matthew’s personal account too.
As for those friends who supported Clarissa in the past, they were silent this time, neither reposting, liking nor expressing supportive opinions.
Their behavior was not wrong because, after all, this was a family affair and outsiders were not qualified to comment.
However, suddenly there was an outsider who reposted Clarissa’s comment and liked it.
Who was this bold person who did not mind being involved in Clarissa’s family affairs? After some netizens’ investigation, some people knew that she was actually a civil servant in D City and that she was really Mrs. Wynter, the wife of a civil official.
And who was Mrs. Wynter? Netizens researched further only to discover a more interesting relationship.
