Chapter 10 Jonathan's Here ? +5 Free Coins " You're right . You wouldn't hurt me ," she said . " Jonathan probably just said those things to mess with me . I blamed you for nothing Selina let out a long breath . Her fingers relaxed . Deep down , she cursed Clarissa for still being the same clueless idiot . Jonathan was too soft . Even after she humiliated him by running off with another man , he still had her back . " Alright . Clare . Get some rest . I'll head to my room . " Once Selina stepped out , the ice in Clarissa's eyes broke free . Selina ? Clarissa would make that damn girl pay for everything . The pain . The lies . The betrayal . One crack at a time . She would shatter that trust Mom and Dad still had in her . And when it all fell apart , she'd settle the score . Every last one . Clarissa was drained . Coming back from death and dealing with everything that followed had left her body running on fumes . Sleep took over before she could fight it . She didn't wake until noon . The soft light pouring across her familiar bedroom felt almost unreal . Like she had dreamed the whole thing . She took a deep breath , tossed the blanket off , and slid into her slippers . She walked over to the window , pulled open the curtains , and let the sunlight in . She meant to breathe in the fresh air , but one glance outside made her freeze . A black car was parked at the gates . Her breath caught . It was the Jeffersons ' car . Jonathan was here ? Her heart jumped . She rushed to get dressed , threw on water at the sink , and hurried downstairs without bothering to eat . In the living room , Zack stood in front of Frederick and Penelope , calm as ever . In his hands was a green velvet box . Inside sat the emerald pendant . " Mr. Chandler . Mrs. Chandler , " he said flatly . " The pendant has been returned . The engagement is off . I'll be going now . " Clarissa stepped onto the stairs just as those words hit the air . Her whole face went pale . Jonathan was calling it off ? " No ! You can't call it off ! " Her voice rang out sharp and loud . Frederick and Penelope turned to look at her , startled . Frederick had already accepted the box . Zack glanced up at her , and his eyes flicked with irritation . He didn't bother replying . He just turned and walked away . Clarissa raced down the stairs , her panic kicking in fast . She moved to follow , but Penelope grabbed her arm hard . " Ilaven't you embarrassed yourself enough ? " she snapped . " What do you think you're doing now ? " She had almost run off with another man just to avoid this marriage . Now that Jonathan pulled the plug , she wanted it back ? 1/2 p p . Chapter 10 Jonathan's Here ? This wasn't just foolish . It was a mess . +5 Free Coins " Mom , I'm not trying to cause trouble , " Clarissa explained quickly . She looked out the door , trying to catch another glimpse of Zack . " But we can't let the engagement end " " Why you ! " Penelope's whole body shook with rage . She couldn't believe this was her daughter . " Clare , you're the one who begged to have it called off , " Frederick reminded , holding Penelope steady . He gave Clarissa a warning look . " The Jeffersons made their decision . Don't stir things up again . Go back to your room . Don't make your mother sicker ." Clarissa looked toward the car outside . Zack had already gotten in . She pressed her lips together and said nothing . Then , she turned and went back upstairs . The second she got inside , she pulled out her phone and called Jonathan . Blocked . He had cut her off . That couldn't happen . She had to explain everything . He couldn't just walk away like that . Not now . Clarissa stood up and marched toward the door . But the moment she opened it , two maids stepped in her path . " Miss Clarissa ," one of them said gently , " Madam's orders . You're to stay in your room for the next few days . No exceptions . " Clarissa's expression darkened . So , her mother had locked her in to stop her from going after Jonathan ? Everyone in the Chandler household answered to Penelope .
