Erin's words hit Simon like a bolt from the blue, and he remained frozen with a stiff expression on his face for quite some time.When he snapped back to his senses, he was somewhat annoyed as he asked, "What do you mean? Why are you slandering Megan? Why?"Simon's reaction revealed to Erin that he really liked Megan. This worsened Erin's mood. If Simon didn't like Megan that much, that would be better for him. Then, he wouldn't have to endure so much pain.Seeing Erin suddenly fall silent, Simon angrily walked toward the door. She guessed that he was in a hurry to leave."I didn't slander Megan. She has been deceiving you all along! She has a relationship with a man named Percival behind your back. I heard them with my own ears earlier—"He turned back furiously and shouted at Erin, "Shut up! Who gave you the courage to spout such nonsense? Don't forget that I'm a lawyer! I don't care if you're a friend of my cousin or not, if you dare spread rumors and cause trouble like this, I
Erin's slap brought back some rationality in Simon.Strands of his hair hung limply in front of his eyes, and the side of his face that was slapped had a slight reddish hue. Simon forced a smile and said, "That was a good slap … "After saying that, he took two steps back and slowly turned around. He then walked toward the window. Simon leaned his arm against the window frame, but it was unclear what he was thinking. Erin stood where she was, watching his lonely and desolate figure. The raging emotions within her seemed to have been doused with a bucket of cold water, and she began to calm down.Both of them fell into silence, and after about ten minutes, Erin decided that she couldn't stay any longer and started to leave.At that moment, Simon turned his head and said, "I'm sorry. I was too impulsive just now ... I ... I shouldn't have thrown your phone out of the window."Erin, with her back still turned to him, thought of her phone sinking to the bottom of the lake. She felt a
Erin followed Megan's gaze to the phone in her hand. There was a hint of helplessness in her eyes. If she'd known such a misunderstanding would arise, she would have firmly refused to take Simon's personal phone.Upon hearing Megan refer to Simon as her boyfriend, Erin surmised that Simon wouldn't have broken up with her so soon.Erin remained calm and composed as she said steadily, "I'm sorry, Miss Zeigler. I don't know who your boyfriend is. The phone in my hand is temporarily borrowed from my friend because I lost mine."Megan was taken aback. She then realized that the matter between Simon and her being in a relationship hadn't been made public on the set, so it was understandable that Erin was unaware.With a cold expression, she asked, "Is your friend named Simon Frost?"Pretending to be surprised, Erin replied, "Yes, how did you know?" Roman had told her about the secret relationship between Megan and Simon, but she pretended not to know."Simon is my boyfriend!" Megan g
Erin was flabbergasted and immediately hung up. Her heart raced as if several hundred deer were trampling away inside her chest. She wasn't sure who Chandler's words were directed at.Right then, Chandler, who had just arrived at the door of Erin's hotel room, redialed the number from earlier.Sitting beside the phone, Erin's heart palpitated when it suddenly rang. She hesitated for a moment but didn't dare to answer. She guessed that it was probably a call from Chandler.But she didn't know what to say to him. Although she really wanted to say the words that weighed on her heart, she felt that she no longer had the right to say them ..."Chandler, I really miss you. Are you doing well?" Erin uttered the words soundlessly.Tears welled up in her eyes. The unspoken longing was like the air, it was all around her and something she couldn't escape from. She felt like wallowing in self-pity for a while. But that annoying telephone kept ringing incessantly. With a start, she realized t
This was the first time Erin heard Chandler speak to her like she was an equal. Universally, people should treat each other with equality and respect. But in Chandler's world, he was quite used to others fawning over and flattering him. The fact that he was willing to change for her, however slight, didn't go unnoticed.She looked deep into his eyes, and Chandler patiently awaited her response.Finally, she decided to place the trust she held in her heart in the palm of his hand. "Chandler, I choose to believe in you."His black dark shimmered faintly, with a subtle glint of brightness shining from deep within. Her words gently reassured his unsettled and uneasy heart.A hint of delight crept up to his eyes as he held her hand and kissed the back of it. "Thank you for trusting me."Erin smiled from the depths of her heart, and that smile captivated him. The next moment, Chandler stood up, walked to the desk, and picked up his wallet. Then, he returned to sit beside her. Erin curio
As 4 pm rolled by, Erin had successfully registered for her original phone number at a telecommunications company in Fleuverton City. She also bought a new phone.Chandler had flown back two hours ago. This time, he flew alone in first class without even bringing Kyle so as not to be discovered by Quentin's men. When he left, Erin couldn't see him off. Both of them felt reluctant to part, but Chandler promised to find time to see her again.The two of them had been cuddling and lazing around for several hours in the morning. Even breakfast and lunch were brought in by the hotel staff. Chandler informed Erin in advance about Alana joining the film crew. It turned out he was the man who had supposedly invested two hundred million dollars to support his girlfriend!His purpose was actually very simple, and that was to make Quentin gradually have a worse impression of Alana. Once Alana's image was damaged, it was very likely that Quentin would replace her with someone else.Erin felt g
"Although the fourth female lead has a limited number of scenes, she plays a crucial role in the entire film. As a female demon hunter disguised as a man, she is constantly misunderstood as a fraud. But thanks to the prince's appreciation, she gets to display her skills while capturing the fox demon. Unfortunately, she dies in the end due to the fox demon's magic." Even without looking at the script, Roman was already familiar with every notable character in the movie."You have an amazing memory!" Erin couldn't help but praise Roman with admiration. It was impressive that someone as famous as him paid attention to the details of these minor roles. He was truly dedicated! The entertainment industry now had newcomers who only looked pretty but lacked acting skills and were arrogant. Roman was truly an exemplary figure in the film industry.Erin's heartfelt praise brought Roman a trace of pleasure. He casually said, "It's nothing. As an actor, if you can't remember your lines, it will
Matthew's expression practically screamed, "I must know!" And it left Erin speechless. Of course, she couldn't tell him that it was Chandler."You don't know him," she answered curtly and turned to leave.With one of his long legs, Matthew blocked her path and continued to ask, "Tell me who it is!"Erin grew impatient at his persistence. "Does it really matter who it is? Stop asking—"Suddenly, Matthew laughed out loud. "You can't tell me who it is because there is no such person! You're just making up another excuse to reject me, aren't you?"Shrugging nonchalantly, Erin gave up communicating with him. "Think whatever you want. Please move aside, Roman is still waiting for me to bring back his lamb skewers."Seeing a hint of suppressed disgust in her expression, Matthew did his best to hold back his anger and finally moved aside. Erin didn't spare a glance at him and walked forward, taking big steps.She'd walked a considerable distance before Matthew suddenly shouted loudly fr
