Belle pointed a finger at Clarence. “What’s the meaning of this?
“How dare you ask what’s the meaning of this, Clarence?
“Do you think we don’t know what you’re doing?”
Belle crossed her arms, her eyes filled with disgust and disdain.
“Mom, what the hell is going on?” 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. “Go on! Go on pretending!
“Clarence, why didn’t I realize before that you were such a good actor?
“It’s a waste of your talents that you’re only the Murphy family’s son-in-law.
“Why don’t I introduce you to some directors to get you into the entertainment industry?”
Peony’s 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.
“Clarence, that’s enough!”
Peony pointed at Clarence’s nose. “Stop pretending, you little b*stard. Do you think we don’t know about you’re acting alongside Tiger?”
“Acting?
“Alongside Tiger?
“What’s going on?” Three question marks seemed to appear on Clarence’s face.
“What is it, if not acting?
“Tiger told all of us to get out of the private room, without another word.
“He was even touching the women!
“Then, once you showed up, Tiger changed his attitude.
“He even let us go, keeping you alone in the private room.
“Tiger also called you Brother Howard earlier.
“Explain yourself!” 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, “Ah, so that’s why you think something was up. It’s because Tiger came to my Thirteen Hall yesterday, and I saw that he was infertile!
“Just now, Tiger told me that he took paternity tests last night and found out that his sons and his other dozens of illegitimate children weren’t actually his. He was in a bad mood and came to the hotel for a drink.”
Everyone paused. Their expressions were a little grim.
Miranda frowned. “Then tell me, why is Tiger so close to you?”
Clarence explained, “I cured Tiger’s infertility.”
Belle sneered, “You cured Tiger’s infertility in five minutes?”
Melody shook her head. “Clarence, you’ve gotta find a better actor, even if you’re putting on a show.”
Peony’s face darkened. “You just cured infertility in five minutes? If you’re so good, then there’s no need for andrology hospitals.
“You can become the richest man in the world by treating infertility!
“You can’t even tell a lie properly. Tiger has three sons and a dozen illegitimate children, yet he’s infertile?”
As a doctor, Peony could not believe that Clarence could cure infertility in five minutes.
‘It’s a global problem. Can a loser like Clarence cure it?
‘Not to mention, in five minutes?
‘Unbelievable!’
Belle shook her head. “Mom, stop talking to the little b*stard.
“He’s full of lies. Not a word from him is true.”
Melody looked at Miranda in disdain. “Miranda, see that? Your husband’s making a fool out of everyone.
“Which one of his statements do you think is true?”
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. “Forget it, let’s go.
“I have a consultation with the Wright family in a few days, so we’re going to get a good rest.”
With that said, Yosef turned around and headed out of the hotel with the rest of the Wanda family.
Peony stepped forward and grabbed Yosef’s arm. “Yosef, let’s go together. There’s plenty of room at home. Stay at my place.”
“Haha. No thanks. With what has just happened, we’d better stay in a hotel.
“I’m not interested in seeing more shows!” Yosef spoke nonchalantly, but anyone would be able to tell he was alluding to Clarence.
Yosef shook Peony’s hand away and strode out of the hotel.
Penny hurried after him, trying to persuade him.
Yosef was not staying at the Murphy family’s 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.
“Hmph!”
Armstrong and the others flicked their sleeves out and left, leaving Miranda standing alone.
“Dear, let me explain.” Clarence walked up and grabbed Miranda’s hand.
Miranda shook Clarence off. “What’s there to explain?
“Clarence, can you stop doing this? It’s really tiring!
“Do you know who Tiger is?
“You asked him to act, and he played along with you for this first time for Jackson’s sake.
“What about the second and third time?
“We can’t afford to offend people like him! Being with him is like pulling teeth out of the tiger’s mouth. You never know when he’ll bite you!
“You’re doomed when that happens!
“Clarence, will you grow up?
“You haven’t been the same since you met Cecilia and accepted her Ferrari.
“Clarence, tell me what you want.
“Can’t you just live a simple life?”
Clarence opened his mouth but said nothing.
Facing Miranda’s distrust and the series of questions, Clarence’s heart, which had previously been slightly warm, suddenly turned cold.
“Are you so unwilling to believe me?” Clarence’s expression was a little pained.
Clarence could endure the Murphy family’s 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 father’s sake.
Miranda covered her ears and shook her head. “I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!
“How am I supposed to believe that?
“Believe that you and Tiger are sworn brothers?
“Believe that Tiger is infertile while having more than a dozen sons?
“Believe that you cured Tiger’s infertility in five minutes?”
Seeing the hysterical Miranda, Clarence heaved a long sigh. “Oh! I can’t help it if you don’t believe me. It’s the truth.
“Let’s calm down. I’m going back to Thirteen Hall.”
Clarence shook his head and headed out of the hotel with a broken heart.
Miranda screamed at Clarence’s back. “Clarence, how dare you leave?
“Never return to the Murphy family, unless you explain yourself today.”
