Chapter 24 Another Misunderstanding +5 Free Coins Jonathan couldn't believe Clarissa had actually brought him a gift . And it wasn't just him - George found it hard to wrap his head around , too . He had just finished saying that Clarissa hated Jonathan and would never want to be with him , and now here she was , showing up with presents . Honestly , it made his face sting a little . Jonathan forced down the storm raging inside him and took the gift from the secretary . Inside was a belt - and a small card . On the card were a few neatly written lines . ' Mr. Jefferson , I picked this out just for you - so please do me a favor and accept it , okay ? And don't forget , you promised to reconsider not calling off the engagement . I hope you really will think it over ! Also …. could you let me out of that little " blocked " list on WhatsApp ? At the end , there was even a cute little teary emoji . Jonathan's large hand clenched around the card , tightening with each passing second . George sat upright , posture rigid , but his eyes kept drifting toward the card Jonathan was holding . He couldn't make out all the words , but he caught glimpses - and saw the teary little emoji at the end . For a second , it felt like the world had gone sideways . Is this really Clare ? Is she really not possessed ? He couldn't help wondering . Jonathan slid the card into his pocket and asked coldly . " Where is Clarissa ? " " Miss Chandler already left ," the secretary replied . Left ? She didn't even come up to say a word - just dropped off the gift and walked away ? What the hell is she trying to do ? Is toying with my feelings really that fun for her ? George had the same impression - he thought Clarissa was just being ridiculous . Did she bring this gift just to mess with him ? " I'll speak to her when I get back , " he said , rising from his seat . " Give me the gift - I'll return it to her . " He reached for the bag , but Jonathan snatched it up first . " You're welcome to discipline your sister as you see fit , " Jonathan mentioned coolly . " But whether I keep or toss the gift she sent - that's for me to decide . " just as George was rendered speechless by Jonathan's words , his phone rang He glanced at the name and picked up . The mall manager's voice came through loud and clear on the other end . " Mr. Chandler , Miss Clarissa came to the mall today and bought a bunch of men's clothing . She also had an incident there with Miss Gosling … " The manager's voice was loud enough that Jonathan heard every word . George glanced at Jonathan , whose face had darkened , and quickly turned the volume down . And so , whatever else the manager said about Clarissa and Chloe arguing- Jonathan didn't catch it . He stared at the belt in his hands , heart growing colder by the second . So , she went shopping for men's clothes with Chloe . Must've all been for Gregory . And this belt ? Just her way of mocking me . Meanwhile , Clarissa had no idea yet that another huge misunderstanding was brewing . She returned home with bags upon bags of gifts . She'd gotten something for everyone - even the butler and the kitchen staff . Frederick and Penelope each got gifts , too . Frederick beamed with delight as he held his , and while Penelope didn't say anything , she was clearly overjoyed inside . So what if their daughter wasn't impressive by society's standards ? As long as she was well - behaved and sensible , that was enough . 1/2 Chapter 24 Another Misunderstanding +5 Free Coins Selina watched from the side , growing increasingly anxious . She pulled Clarissa aside and whispered , " Clare , why did you call the police on Chloe ? And why did you kick Gregory out of the hospital ? What are you trying to do ?! " When Selina first heard the news , she thought she was hallucinating . She couldn't figure Clarissa out at all anymore . What was she trying to pull ? Why had she suddenly turned so cold toward the Gosling siblings ? " Isn't it obvious what I'm doing ? " Clarissa looked at her lazily . " The real question is - why are you so eager to defend them ?
