Chapter 87: Jerry urged Clara
"He said his apartnt is luxurious, but..."
Clara glanced around the monochro-thed living room, not many pieces of furniture, and not very spacious. The girl sat on a gray sofa, facing the electric fireplace, looking sexy in shorts and a black tank top, then tying her hair.
"Let’s see what I’ll get here... Should I beco a prostitute?"
She grabbed her phone, took a selfie with a sexy pose, then posted it on a dating app. She activated the location so she would get recomndations from male app users who also lived in the city.
Ding ...
The sound of the doorbell diverted her attention. "Who’s coming? I thought I didn’t tell anyone I was here. There shouldn’t be any guests because this apartnt has been vacated. Or maybe it’s the apartnt staff?"
Curious, Clara imdiately got up from the sofa and walked to the front door. She opened it and furrowed her brow when she saw that it was Jerry who had co.
"You... It’s strange that you suddenly ca here," she said.
"Why?" Jerry asked.
"No... I just..." Clara shook her head with an awkward look. "I just don’t understand why you ca for... I don’t think we have any interests."
"I ca to et Samuel because he hasn’t contacted
in a long ti," Jerry said casually, then stepped inside, causing Clara to quickly step back to give him space. "Where is he? Is he at the office?" he asked as he walked towards the living room.
"He’s not here," Clara replied.
Jerry imdiately turned to her. "What do you an he’s not here?"
"Uh... didn’t he tell you that he sold his apartnt to ?"
"He sold this apartnt to you?" Jerry stared at Clara in astonishnt.
Clara nodded nervously.
"He didn’t tell
that at all, but how could you buy this apartnt? Where did you get the money?" Jerry inquired, wanting to test Clara’s honesty.
"Uh... I..."
"I know you haven’t had a good job," Jerry didn’t let Clara finish. "Did you buy this apartnt with money from a sugar daddy? Or maybe you’re just here temporarily... You don’t want to buy this apartnt but Samuel lent it to you?" He interrogated with an intimidating gaze.
"Jerry..." Clara turned her face away, trying to move away, but Jerry imdiately grabbed her hand, making her turn to face him. "Ah, Jerry, let go of !" she struggled, feeling pain in her wrist.
"I won’t let you go until you’re honest!" Jerry hissed.
"What do I have to be honest about? You’re weird!"
"Do you want to know?" Jerry imdiately pushed Clara and released his grip, then took an envelope from the pocket of his black jacket. He threw the envelope at Clara’s face. "Explain this!"
Clara fell silent in shock, then saw the envelope lying on the floor.
"Take it!" Jerry commanded.
She imdiately picked it up and opened it, revealing photos of her with Damian.
"I don’t know what you an by doing this to Damian... Why did you trap him, and then hand over those photos to Valerie... Did you do this because you don’t want her back with Damian? What is your real purpose? Just jealousy or because you want Damian? But why did you run away here, even in Samuel’s apartnt?" Jerry wondered impatiently. "Or did he ask you because he doesn’t like seeing Valerie getting close to Damian? Or..." He circled Clara with his sharp gaze.
Clara trembled, unable to respond to Jerry’s every question.
"Or perhaps Samuel also instructed you to seduce Damian after the bachelor party?" Jerry asked again, glaring at Clara with irritation. "He arranged it all, then pretended to help Valerie leave Damian?"
"Jerry..." Clara shook her head and looked at Jerry anxiously. "I... I don’t know about that... I an, that night I was very drunk and accidentally did it with Damian, besides, he didn’t refuse."
"Lies!" Jerry exclaid with widened eyes.
"I’m telling the truth!" Clara moved away from Jerry. "I didn’t think Valerie would find out and leave... It had nothing to do with Samuel!"
Jerry fell silent, staring at Clara with anger, quickly taking out a blank check from his jacket pocket, as well as a black pen.
"How much money did you get from Samuel to ruin Valerie and Damian’s relationship?" he asked, handing over the check and pen to Clara. "You have to admit before I find out myself and find evidence of your collusion..."
Clara fell silent, looking afraid.
"You know who I am, you know how capable I am of investigating problems, cris," Jerry said again. He slowly walked around Clara. "If I find out your collusion and can prove it to Damian, I’m sure he will be very angry and punish you with defamation or entrapnt... Whatever it is, he will try to punish you because what you did has separated him from Valerie, even without a chance to see Valerie during her pregnancy, when Daniel was born... He can’t repeat that even though it’s a very precious mont for a man."
Clara pondered, and bowed her head, as if in dilemma.
"But if you confess now, you’ll get money and maybe he won’t imprison you... You’ll be free," Jerry said again, patting Clara’s hand with the check. "Tell the truth," he continued calmly, trying to restrain his emotions.
"I didn’t collude with Samuel at all," Clara replied, pushing Jerry’s hand away from her. "I wasn’t paid either... I ca here because I needed a place to live... And what I did to Damian that night was because I was angry with him... I didn’t like seeing him back with Valerie after we were both ruined by the scandal after that bachelor party," she lied.
Jerry fell silent, observing Clara who seed so bewildered, unwilling to confess, making him frustrated and wanting to punch her foolish face.
"Go away..." Clara walked towards the bedroom.
Jerry imdiately followed her, blocking her at the bedroom door.
"You can’t fool !" Jerry exclaid.
"What?" Clara looked at Jerry with frustration. "I’m not fooling you... I’ve already told the truth... I didn’t..."
"But I don’t believe you!"
"How, what should I do to make you believe?"
"Whatever you say, whatever you do will never make
believe you because I’m sure you’ve been working with Samuel for a long ti. You wouldn’t deliberately ss yourself up just to fool around with Damian... You must have done it because you got paid... You wouldn’t leave Carson City and your family just to sleep with Damian that night! You must have considered the risks and got paid to be able to go far away to live in a distant place without a job... You wouldn’t have the courage to do all that if there wasn’t soone supporting or instructing you!" Jerry explained with his sharp gaze, clenching his jaw and quickly ambushing Clara’s cheeks then pushing her against the wall.
"Jerry!" Clara was scared.
"Tell the truth!" Jerry exclaid angrily. "What’s so hard about being honest? You can’t trust Samuel anymore... Damian is much stronger than him! He can bring him down and no one can help you, even he can retaliate against you so cruelly without you can avoid!"
