Belle pointed a finger at Clarence. âWhatâs the meaning of this?
âHow dare you ask whatâs the meaning of this, Clarence?
âDo you think we donât know what youâre doing?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Belle crossed her arms, her eyes filled with disgust and disdain.
âMom, what the hell is going on?â Clarence looked stunned.
Everything had been going fine. Why would his mother-in-law Peony suddenly hit him?
He was the one who had solved the problem with Tiger. His mother-in-law should be thanking him.
Why had she slapped him?
Melody looked cold. âGo on! Go on pretending!
âClarence, why didnât I realize before that you were such a good actor?
âItâs a waste of your talents that youâre only the Murphy familyâs son-in-law.
âWhy donât I introduce you to some directors to get you into the entertainment industry?â
Peonyâs face was livid. She had not expected Clarence to be so stubborn and pretend he still did not know what was going on after being caught.
âClarence, thatâs enough!â
Peony pointed at Clarenceâs nose. âStop pretending, you little b*stard. Do you think we donât know about youâre acting alongside Tiger?â
âActing?
âAlongside Tiger?
âWhatâs going on?â Three question marks seemed to appear on Clarenceâs face.
âWhat is it, if not acting?
âTiger told all of us to get out of the private room, without another word.
âHe was even touching the women!
âThen, once you showed up, Tiger changed his attitude.
âHe even let us go, keeping you alone in the private room.
âTiger also called you Brother Howard earlier.
âExplain yourself!â Miranda spoke coldly. Her tone was disappointed and distant.
Miranda did not believe that Clarence would put on such a show with Tiger.
However, the way Clarence and Tiger had seemed so close to each other made her believe that there was something fishy about whatever had just happened in the private room.
Clarence quickly explained, âAh, so thatâs why you think something was up. Itâs because Tiger came to my Thirteen Hall yesterday, and I saw that he was infertile!
âJust now, Tiger told me that he took paternity tests last night and found out that his sons and his other dozens of illegitimate children werenât actually his. He was in a bad mood and came to the hotel for a drink.â
Everyone paused. Their expressions were a little grim.
Miranda frowned. âThen tell me, why is Tiger so close to you?â
Clarence explained, âI cured Tigerâs infertility.â
Belle sneered, âYou cured Tigerâs infertility in five minutes?â
Melody shook her head. âClarence, youâve gotta find a better actor, even if youâre putting on a show.â
Peonyâs face darkened. âYou just cured infertility in five minutes? If youâre so good, then thereâs no need for andrology hospitals.
âYou can become the richest man in the world by treating infertility!
âYou canât even tell a lie properly. Tiger has three sons and a dozen illegitimate children, yet heâs infertile?â
As a doctor, Peony could not believe that Clarence could cure infertility in five minutes.
âItâs a global problem. Can a loser like Clarence cure it?
âNot to mention, in five minutes?
âUnbelievable!â
Belle shook her head. âMom, stop talking to the little b*stard.
âHeâs full of lies. Not a word from him is true.â
Melody looked at Miranda in disdain. âMiranda, see that? Your husbandâs making a fool out of everyone.
âWhich one of his statements do you think is true?â
Armstrong, George, and Kaysen said nothing, but their impassive looks explained everything they felt inside.
They also thought Clarence and Tiger were working together.
Miranda bit her red lip, her heart full of disappointment.
Her feelings for Clarence were complicated.
On one hand, she wanted to divorce Clarence; on the other hand, she wanted Clarence to turn into something but was upset seeing Clarence and Cecilia together.
Now, seeing Clarence full of lies and boasts, she was disappointed in him.
Suddenly, Yosef shook his head. âForget it, letâs go.
âI have a consultation with the Wright family in a few days, so weâre going to get a good rest.â
With that said, Yosef turned around and headed out of the hotel with the rest of the Wanda family.
Peony stepped forward and grabbed Yosefâs arm. âYosef, letâs go together. Thereâs plenty of room at home. Stay at my place.â
âHaha. No thanks. With what has just happened, weâd better stay in a hotel.
âIâm not interested in seeing more shows!â Yosef spoke nonchalantly, but anyone would be able to tell he was alluding to Clarence.
Yosef shook Peonyâs hand away and strode out of the hotel.
Penny hurried after him, trying to persuade him.
Yosef was not staying at the Murphy familyâs villa but in an outside hotel while visiting Mediterranean City?
If word about this got back to the Wanda family in Beth City, there was no telling how they would gossip about Peony.
âHmph!â
Armstrong and the others flicked their sleeves out and left, leaving Miranda standing alone.
âDear, let me explain.â Clarence walked up and grabbed Mirandaâs hand.
Miranda shook Clarence off. âWhatâs there to explain?
âClarence, can you stop doing this? Itâs really tiring!
âDo you know who Tiger is?
âYou asked him to act, and he played along with you for this first time for Jacksonâs sake.
âWhat about the second and third time?
âWe canât afford to offend people like him! Being with him is like pulling teeth out of the tigerâs mouth. You never know when heâll bite you!
âYouâre doomed when that happens!
âClarence, will you grow up?
âYou havenât been the same since you met Cecilia and accepted her Ferrari.
âClarence, tell me what you want.
âCanât you just live a simple life?â
Clarence opened his mouth but said nothing.
Facing Mirandaâs distrust and the series of questions, Clarenceâs heart, which had previously been slightly warm, suddenly turned cold.
âAre you so unwilling to believe me?â Clarenceâs expression was a little pained.
Clarence could endure the Murphy familyâs cold shoulders and ridicules.
It was all based on the premise that he was in love with Miranda. He was in love with the woman in front of him.
The two kept having misunderstandings and making up, and now there was another misunderstanding.
How had the Murphy family mocked Clarence at the feast?
How had she misunderstood Clarence?
Miranda was there when Armstrong said he was the one who found the premium imperial jade, but she kept quiet for her fatherâs sake.
Miranda covered her ears and shook her head. âI donât believe it! I donât believe it! I donât believe it!
âHow am I supposed to believe that?
âBelieve that you and Tiger are sworn brothers?
âBelieve that Tiger is infertile while having more than a dozen sons?
âBelieve that you cured Tigerâs infertility in five minutes?â
Seeing the hysterical Miranda, Clarence heaved a long sigh. âOh! I canât help it if you donât believe me. Itâs the truth.
âLetâs calm down. Iâm going back to Thirteen Hall.â
Clarence shook his head and headed out of the hotel with a broken heart.
Miranda screamed at Clarenceâs back. âClarence, how dare you leave?
âNever return to the Murphy family, unless you explain yourself today.â
