Chapter 78 Stop Seducing My Wife Damien stormed into Josepli’s office and slammed several

documents on the latter’s table without saying a word.

Shocked, Joseph reached for the documents. They were evidence of how Frank colluded with several

otlier companies in an aticinpt lo topple Damieni’s (atlier in the business world.

Foar rose in Joseph the more he flipped through the pages. “Don’t force me to submit these to the

courl,” Damien said calmly as he sat opposite Joseph. Joseph’s face was chalk white. He knew this

evidence was enough to send his father to fall for at least twenty years. “Is this about Clarissa’s

decision to work in my company?” Joseph asked. Everyone in Genovia was already aware of Damien’s

initiative to build a new audit department at his company. Joseph, on the other hand, suspected that

Damien was building it for Clarissa. Now that Damien was here threatening to destroy his family,

Joseph’s suspicions turned out to be true after all.

“I don’t think I nced to tell you what to do from now on, right?” Damien narrowed his eyes as he shot a

threatening glare at Joseph).

While Joseph admittedly harbored romantic feelings for Clarissa, his father’s well-being was ultimately

far more important than fleeting emotions.

“Aren’t you in a contract marriage with Clarissa?” Joseph asked. He thought Luke was telling him the

truth.

“Contract marriage?” Damien reached for a cigarette and said, “If that’s true, I wouldn’t be here

demanding you to know your place.”

Damien’s words made sense to Joseph.

“Alright, I understand.” Joseph’s heart sank.

It didn’t matter whether they were in a contract marriage or not. What mattered was that they were a

certified couple on paper.

Upon receiving Joseph’s answer, Damien was prepared to leave. But before he exited the office, he

paused and hollered, “Also… Stop seducing my wife!”

Joseph was stunned, so much that he didn’t know what to say. As long as their marriage was legally

binding. Joseph knew he would always be the third wheel in their relationship.

It was a bad day for Clarissa, and her mood was completely ruined.

The moment she returned from the cafe, she received an email from HR stating, “Thank you for

submitting your resume for the job post. We are sorry to inform you that your credentials are far from

the requirements and you fail to proceed to the next round. I liope you will try again in the near future.”

The word ‘fail’ dampened her spirits instantly.

Even with Damien’s help, she still couldn’t get past the first round. It seemed Lucas’s

just like that, Clarissa lost two jobs in just one day,

ller heart was heavy with sorrow. She wondered dejectedly, ‘Do I really suck that much?’

For the rest of the day, she couldn’t focus on her work at all.

Al live, she went to the underground car park after work ended.

Sluce Damien hadn’t arrived yet, she simply stood there (ldung around like a lost soul as she waited for

him.

All her life, Clarissa had never felt so disappointed in bersell.

Looking down at her feet, tears streamed down her face,

Damien soon arrived, and noticed Clarissa’s disappointed look.

This was the first time he had seen licr acting like that.

At first, he was still angry about Clarissa’s decision to apply for both companies. However, his heart

went out to her the moment he caught a glimpse of her pitiful look.

Only when Damien unlocked the car did Clarissa snap back to her senses. Hurriedly, she got in the car

and sat in the front passenger seat. Then, slie quickly wiped her tears.

In the car, she kept using her hand to block one side of her face as she stared pensively outside the

glass window.

When Damien drove out of the car park, he asked, “What’s the matter?” “Don’t you think I’m useless”

With a sobbing voice, she said, “I always think that I’m better than most people. Turns out, I’m just

below average.” Damien couldn’t help but smirk. “Why do you say that?” “HR got back to me today and

told me I didn’t get through the first round. They said my credentials are still far from the expected

requirements…” Clarissa lowered her head in sadness. “Even with your help, I still couldn’t get through.

Don’t you think I’m just an embarrassment?”

“Hm.” Damien didn’t give her an obvious answer.

Apparently, Clarissa didn’t really care what he wanted to say. She just needed a shoulder to cry Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

on.

“I’ve always had good grades ever since I was young. When I was in elementary school, I was always

in the top three. With my excellent grades, I even got into the country’s top-tier high school. But then

my dad passed away when I was sixteen, and I had to take care of my mom at the hospital. I couldn’t

complete my postgraduate studies, and I had to give up my slot to other people… It’s not my fault that

I’m not able to further my studies, but today…” She kept wiping the tears off her face as she went on.

“Today, HR told me that I’m not qualified to even go through their filtering process… …”

Damien looked over at her. At first, she was just tearing up slowly. But now, she was sobbing

uncontrollably. Suddenly, Damien felt bad for rejecting her application. “Really? Is that all?” he asked.

“No…” Clarissa paused. She didn’t want Damien to know she had opted for Great West and had even

sent them her resume. Even though she did reject their offer, she still wanted to avoid unnecessary

trouble. “It’s not just that, but that other thing is not really important. The reason I’m sad is because I

got rejected by the HR department…”.

“Oh really?” Damien found it hard to believe her words, “Yeah,” Clarissa continued. “Do you think I’m
