Clarence was silent.
Miranda felt like she was punching cotton. Clarence did not care about whatever she said.
‘Is he giving up?’
“Why didn’t you answer my phone last night?”
“Did you know how worried I was when you stayed out all night?”
“Clarence, why won’t you say anything?” Miranda looked at Clarence.
Clarence shrugged. “What’s the use?”
“You don’t believe me anyway!”
“How… How can I trust you if you don’t explain?” Miranda said subconsciously after being momentarily stunned. She and Clarence seemed to be back to their previous conflict, where they had a crisis of trust.
Clarence nodded. “Alright! I’ll explain.”
“Would you believe me if I told you that I didn’t open Thirteen Hall across from Humanity Hall on purpose?”
“No!” Miranda frowned and shook her head.
Clarence went on. “Would you believe me if I told you that I had no idea that Jackson was giving me Thirteen Hall?”
“No!” Miranda shook her head again.
Clarence sneered. “Would you believe me if I told you I had no intention of getting back at the Murphy family by opening Thirteen Hall?”
“No!” Miranda’s brow furrowed deeply.
Clarence said again, “Would you believe me if I said I know medicine and I saved Mom’s and Jackson’s life?”
“No! No! I don’t believe it!”
Miranda was so mad she flipped out on the spot. Her eyes were red. “Clarence, will you grow up? Which one of these things is true?”
“Do I not know if you know anything about medicine?”
“I know you inside out!”
“You spent the first fifteen years of your life in the orphanage!”
“Then you got into a fight at school in junior high, so you were expelled, and you never went to school again!”
Miranda showered him with questions!
“You left the orphanage when you were fifteen and did odd jobs outside! You led a miserable life!”
“For the next five years, you go through life with one meal and no next, not even having enough to eat. You’re worse off than a dog!”
“You muddled through life like this for five years, and five years later, you saved my grandfather from a car accident when you were twenty!”
“Nearly three years have passed since I married you, and you’re twenty-three now!”
“I know twenty-three years of your life better than you!”
“You know medicine? Did you learn medicine in the orphanage?”
“Or did you learn during those five years when you didn’t even have enough to eat?”
“Clarence, I thought you’d change! But you’re becoming worse. You really…”
Miranda was like a deflated ball as she said that. Her shoulders sank. “… disappoint me!”
Clarence let out a long sigh. “Do you know why I got kicked out of junior high?”
“Why? Don’t change the subject. We’re not talking about your expulsion from junior high.”
Miranda frowned.
She did not know anything about it.
“There was a girl in the orphanage who had good grades!”
“She was beautiful. One day, she was called to the guidance director’s office and got harrased,” Clarence said as if speaking to himself.
“She told the orphanage about it that night. She thought the orphanage would help her get justice, but others say she seduced the guidance director. Otherwise, why would the guidance director do that to her?”
Miranda was silent and did not speak.
Clarence continued saying, “The next morning, she committed suicide by jumping off a building.”
Miranda was stunned.
Clarence laughed miserably. “I went to the guidance director’s office and beat the crap out of him after finding out.”
“Then I got expelled!”
“Why are you telling me this?” Miranda frowned.
Clarence shook his head. “Nothing! My point is that you never understand what people like me are living for!”
“You think I’m ignorant and incompetent!”
“I’m not supposed to know anything about medicine, and I’m not supposed to run a clinic!”
“I opened Thirteen Hall to get back at the Murphy family!”
“You already had a prejudice against me!”
“I’m supposed to be a loser. A loser who knows nothing!”
“Just like the girl. Everyone thought she seduced the guidance director!”
Miranda looked a little flustered. “You… That’s not what I meant!”
“Besides, that girl… Why didn’t she report to the police?”
“Haha.”
Clarence scoffed, his eyes dimming. “You still don’t understand people like us!”
At this moment, Clarence felt a great distance between him and Miranda.
They were not in the same world at all.
“Clarence…” Miranda was about to say something.
Suddenly, a red Ferrari came to a sudden halt and stopped in front of Thirteen Hall’s entrance.
The Ferrari door opened wide like an eagle’s wings, and a woman in a red business suit stepped out.
It was Cecilia, with her beautiful face, delicate neck, and long legs.
“Clarence, I thought you said you didn’t like green.”
“I changed to a red Ferrari today. Is it ok?” Cecilia came beaming.
Miranda’s pretty face turned grim. “Clarence, didn’t you say you have nothing to do with Cecilia?”
“Yo! Isn’t this my sister-in-law? Why are you also here?” Cecilia looked like she just saw Miranda.
“Haha! Who’s your sister-in-law?” Miranda sneered as her eyebrows rose.
The two women were at daggers drawn.
