Marc pursed his lips, growing frustrated. "Clarissa is different from her family."

Marc frowned. He was uncomfortable with how everyone praised Pearl Pearl was usually quiet. He wondered when she won everyone over.

"Mr. Males, bad news" Thomas rushed over, interrupting Marc's thoughts, "Your mother went to find Miss Santos... and hit her

Marc's eyes darkened and ran off

I took your money, but I'm done with you

The other responses were worse, either cursing her or blocking her directly. Clarissa frowned, panicking. How did things turn out like this? Trying to calm herself, Clarisa was about to call Mare when an elegantly dressed lady in a wheelchair was wheeled in. Clarissa's heart
