"Miss Simpson, she's Cynthia Fisher, a renowned actress and was voted as the best actress of the year last year." Neil said as he pushed up the eyeglasses that were resting at his nose bridge. "Cynthia Fisher..." "Is she, by chance, Lydia's sister?" Adeline asked. Adeline couldn't think of anyone whom she had offended in the entertainment industry. Thus, she assumed that the only way that could possibly explain Cynthia's curt attitude to her was if Cynthia was, in any way, related to Lydia. Neil scratched his head and answered, "I don't know if they're sisters. I just know that they're really close." "I see, thanks!" Adeline responded. Adeline walked over to where Chloe was and sat down next to her. Then, she saw Chloe's face was flushed red. "Chloe, are you drunk?" Adeline frowned and looked at her. Chloe's face would immediately flush red whenever she drank alcohol. After drinking the punch, though Chloe was still very much sober,
Adeline supported Chloe along the way to Marvin's room with a hotel attendant leading the way for them. The room was modestly opulent and grandiose. Judging from decorations of the room, it could be presumed that it belonged to a meticulous and attentive owner. "Miss Simpson, if there's anything you need, feel free to ring room service!" The hotel attendant bowed slightly, closed the door, and left. Adeline helped Chloe onto the sofa to sit down. She felt guilty and sorry looking at the palm print on Chloe's face. She took out an ice bag and gently placed it on Chloe's cheeks. "Ouchh..." Chloe cried in pain and with tears welling up in her eyes. Adeline felt disheartened. She continued placing the ice bag on Chloe's cheek while wiping off the blood at the corner of Chloe's lips with her other hand. Sniffing her nose, Adeline apologized, "Chloe, I'm sorry. It's all my fault!" "Adeline, it's alright. It has nothing to do with you. I'm glad that t
Adeline walked out of the hotel to the mall next door. She went to the clothing section and picked out a simple dress for Chloe. As she walked with her alluring style, many men turned their heads for a second glance and jealousy was aroused in women who passed by the mall. Adeline headed to the counter with a dress in her hand. Passing it to the cashier, she asked with a smile, "May I know how much is this dress?" The young lady at the cashier glanced at Adeline and said with a look of disdain, "Two hundred dollars!" Then, the cashier muttered to herself, "Why would she bother to come over here when you can afford such a stylish and flashy dress?" Adeline took out two bundles of cash from her purse and handed it over to the cashier. She then took Chloe's dress in her hand and left without sparing a glance to the cashier. "What's the big deal of being rich and pretty? I can look the same and even better if I have the money for plastic surgery," The cashier said
"I was thinking about how you would probably need my help. That's why I came," Adrian said sheepishly. God knew how much he didn't want to stay a minute longer in the party. He couldn't stand the flocks of women that were swarming around him. So, he made up some half-baked excuse to find a reason to head up there. "I think you're lying. You came over because you wanted to be away from all the socializing!" Adeline smiled and exposed his lies. Adrian smiled awkwardly and said, "Oops, you caught me. How did you even see through it in an instant?" "Chloe, it's getting late, we should head back soon. Go and change into your new clothes." Thinking of what Alan had told her just now, Adeline was still a little afraid to be in such a close proximity with him. She figured that it would be best if she kept her distance from him. "Chloe, why do you need to change your clothes again? Didn't my brother send someone over and gave you a new set of clothes? Does
Chloe nodded at Adeline and followed the man into the car. Adeline gave a long glance at the man in front of him. Since unable to avoid him that time, she might as well just face the music. Adeline was pretty sure that Alan would be still nice to her. Adeline got in the car and fastened up her seat belt. She dared not speak. "Culver is abroad for some business now. If you need any help with anything, feel free to give me a call anytime." Saying that, Alan handed her a business card. "Okay..." Adeline extended her hand to take the card and was surprised to see that Alan was the President of the Supreme Group that had taken the world by storm the past two years. It was rumored that the President of the Supreme Group was ruthless when it comes to business. People in the business world dared not to offend him in any way and feared his name. Adeline's hand trembled a little as she held onto the card. She couldn't believe that she was sitting in the legen
Neil immediately handed the scripts over to Adeline after hearing Malcom's orders. With a smile, he said, "Miss Simpson, this is the script, you can have a look at it!" "Okay!" Adeline thanked him. Adeline took the script and read through it carefully. She felt that the offered role could be worthwhile for her to challenge up for it. "Adeline, this character is pretty round off. Her attitude, looks, and way of thinking match with your personality," Chloe said in pleasant surprise. Neil joined them and said, "The filming will be taken outdoors. I heard from Mr. White that apparently the scenery is spectacular." Chloe held the script in her hands as she dazed off, imagining about the scenery. She was lost in her own thoughts... Adeline looked into Chloe's shining eyes. With both of her arms supporting her chin, Adeline praised, "Chloe, I suddenly realized how utterly charming and alluring you are!" Chloe stared into Adeline's bewitching eyes and
Adeline ignored Zoey. She continued walking out of the store, holding Chloe's hand. Zoey stepped forward to stop her and asked, "Adeline, why are you in a haste to leave? Are you guilty of anything which you have had done to me in the past?" Sebastian's face flashed with a sense of anguish when he saw Adeline. Turning to face Zoey, he held her hand and said, "Zoey, come on. Let's not fight anymore. Let's go home and talk about it, okay?" "What's wrong? Are you feeling bad for her?" Zoey questioned Sebastian sharply. She did not intend to let Adeline off the hook. Chloe looked at them and could probably guess what was going on between them. She remembered Adeline told her that she used to have a boyfriend, but Adeline didn't mention him any further, so she never asked. Adeline let out a laugh, "I'm not the same as you nor do I have a courage like yours. You're really brave in picking up what others don't want." Adeline looked at Zoey col
"Sebastian, follow me!" Victor eyed Sebastian, then walking towards the end of another corridor. Sebastian stood up and looked at his father who was already a distance away. Reluctantly, Sebastian followed from the back. "Dad." A slap went across Sebastian's face. "Don't call me father. The Lawson family is ashamed to have such a son like you!" Victor was so angry that veins were bulging from his face. Sebastian knew that what he did was wrong. He shouldn't have betrayed his relationship with Adeline. Thus, everything that had happened was completely retribution. "Tell me, what is the relationship between you and Adeline?" Victor snapped. After Sebastian stood looking at his father, he finally gave in and came clean to his father. He told him about his past relationship with Adeline and the real reason of why Zoey fell. Victor looked at Sebastian disappointedly. He was upset that his son did not live up to his expectations. Hearing
