Instead of helping, Clarissa just walked away and let her drown in the pool.
While Monina and Ralph are still mourning, Clarissa sucked up even more to them until they wanted her to become their own daughter. They insisted to Naty to let them legally adopt Clarissa. Naty thought that this would be for the better so with a heavy heart, she agreed. Clarissa is now Clarisse Gardamonte, heiress to the Gardamonte fortune.
She seduced Nick to get all his stocks then exposed all his embezzlements in the company to throw him in jail. She also used Daryll to meet powerful people. Meanwhile, her mother got sick because of working in the Gardamonte factory. But instead of helping her mother with the lawsuit, she sided with the Gardamontes. This completely made Nancy despise her own sister. Naty died still longing for Clarissa. Nancy married Clarissa's former suitor James who has fallen in love with her. James became blind because Clarissa hired men to kidnap James so Nancy would stop the lawsuit. Nancy doesn't want anything to do with Clarissa anymore. Clarissa starts to fall in love with Daryll but they only meet in secret. When Monina discovered about their relationship, she dumped Daryll so she could remain an heiress. He told him he would kill himself if she leaves him but instead of stopping him, she dares him to do it. he did, fortunately he survived in the hospital. When he woke up, he realized what he really is to Clarissa. Monina and Ralph, through a private investigator saw the video of how Therese died. She was immediately disowned and kicked out of the mansion. She went to Daryll but he cast her out. Same thing also happened to her sister Nancy.
She now has nothing but still she won't change. Since she knew that she is still the heiress in the last will of the couple, she staged an accident by taking off their car breaks during a vacation. She became the legal owner of the whole Gardamonte fortune. Through the help of fashion designers Maurice and Oz, she is now on top of the world but it was cut short. Because of her relentless spending, she incurred debts from the banks. Also, her oppressive attitude made her workers leave the factory. Her business is now starting to dwindle. She used her knowledge of high society to meet rich guys. She met Jerome Recto, heir to a banking empire. She flirted with him until they got engaged. But Clarissa discovered that she is pregnant with Daryll's baby. She planned to abort the baby but she decided to keep her daughter. Jerome's ex-girlfriend, Victoria and Jerome's mother sees Clarissa's true colors. They plan to expose her but Clarissa got Victoria fired and made Jerome have a feud with his own mother so he would side with her. Unknown to Clarissa, Nick is now out of prison. He helped Jerome's mother and Victoria to expose Clarissa to Jerome and get back all the money Clarissa stole from him. On the day of their wedding, Jerome did not come.
Clarissa is now worse than ever. She gave birth to her daughter in the slums. One time, she left to find food but when she came back, the baby was gone. The baby was taken by social services who put the baby to a orphanage. Nancy found out that she cannot bear a child so she and James adopted a child and named the girl, Natalie. Turns out Natalie is Nancy's niece. Clarissa was supposed to use the baby to get back at Daryll because he now has money because of modeling but since she lost the baby she has no cards to play anymore. She discovered that Nancy has her baby. A legal battle ensued but Nancy won the case. Everything Clarissa had was taken from her. She wanted everything and ended up with nothing. On the day, Nancy and James were to sign the documents to legally adopt Natalie, Clarissa rushed to the office of the social workers to stop the signing of the papers. She finally felt how it was like for a mother to lose her daughter like what she did with her own mother. But on her way to the office. The cab she was riding was hit by a truck and it fell to the river beside the freeway. The driver got out to call for help but she got stuck inside the sinking car. She realizes this is how Therese died and how her godparents died as well. This is the payment for all that she has done. Thinking that her daughter will be in good hands, she closed her
eyes and sank with the car down below the river.
