At Royal Crown…Morgan Lynch placed the tablet on Helios’ desk, showing that he was trending on Twitter. Heliod picked up the tablet and read. He was surprised. Morgan asked, “Are you really in a relationship?”“No.” Helios frowned. This had been taken on the day he sent Barbara home. “There’s a huge argument online. Your fans are arguing with cyber troopers. You were just on magazine covers with Mr. Goldmann not too long ago, and now you are rumored to be in a relationship. The fans who shipped you two together are not having any of this.”Once the fans accepted a shipped couple, it would stay that way. Many of the fans would become obsessed with the couple and would not be able to accept their ship being destroyed. Helios didn’t say anything. Morgan said, “I should post a tweet to clarify.”“No.” Helios put down the tablet and rubbed the bridge of his nose, “If someone is paying the cyber troopers, there’s no point in clarifying. And…”He looked up at Morgan. “The ship
The few girls at the front looked at each other and asked, “Helios is your cousin? Why don’t you tell us he’s your brother instead?”Ryleigh lifted her chin and replied, “I’m not Helios’ cousin? Feel free to go to the Bouchers and find it out yourself.”After that, she stood in front of the entrance and pointed at them. ‘I warn you. I’ve already called the police, and they’re on their way here now. If you guys don't want to be charged for disturbing the peace and be sent to jail, then get the hell out of here now!”“Who the hell do you think you are to chase us away? Get that b*tch out of here right now!” Those few girls went forward and began pushing Ryleigh.“Who are you calling a b*tch, you bunch of b*tches!?” Ryleigh flew into a rage and began fighting them.However, there was no way Ryleigh could fight against a group of people. Suddenly, someone kicked her, and she lost her balance. She fell on the steps behind her and hit her waist. Her face turned pale instantly, and she n
Ryleigh was stumped. She was so anxious that she was on the verge of crying. “Of course, I’m not…”Maisie seemed to have understood something. She frowned and chimed in, “Alright. Let’s go to see the doctor now.”While Ryleigh was getting herself checked in the gynecology department, Maisie and Barbara waited outside. After a short while, Ryleigh came out of the room with the nurse.Her eyes were red around the rims, and it seemed like she had cried.Maisie opened her mouth and asked, “Ryleigh, you…”She kept her head low and did not say anything.Barbara sat in front of the nurse and asked, “May we know what’s going on with our friend?”The nurse looked at her and replied, “She’s fine. Her hymen is ruptured due to external force and bleeds a little.”Barbara was stunned. It took her quite a while before she came around to her senses and asked, “Can something like that happen as well?”The nurse answered matter-of-factly, “The toughness of the hymen varies from individual to i
Helios lowered his head and said apologetically, “I've learned everything, and I'm sorry for the trouble. I've looked into it, and those people aren't my fans.”Helios knew his fans very well. His fans would never do such outlandish or even irrational things in his name.“Yeah, I know.” Barbara nodded. It did not matter if she believed him or not. Even if they were really his fans, she could understand as well.Without waiting for Helios to say anything, she looked at him and said, “I'm the one who caused you trouble. It seems I have to be careful from now on. If you have nothing else to do, Mr. Boucher, then I'll—”“Let’s move,” he chimed in, stunning Barbara. She looked at him in confusion and asked, “What?”Helios looked at her and answered, “It was Katrina. It was Katrina who took that picture of us when I sent you back that day. She knows where you live, so it isn't safe for you to continue staying here.”It took Barbara quite a while before she finally came around to her se
“Wait, I’m not—” Just when the young man was trying to explain for himself, Colton and the rest of the old people from the neighborhood had arrived.The group of old people studied him from head to toe and said, “I’ve never seen you in this neighborhood before.”“You are not a human trafficker, are you?”The young man lifted his arms and quickly explained, “I’m not a human trafficker, I’m a scout!”When he saw that the group of old people did not believe him, he rapidly pulled out his working ID.“Here, this is my working ID!”Daisie knew what a scout was. However, her mother had told her to focus on her studies. They would only consider whether she wanted to join the entertainment industry or not when she was 18.Tilting her head, Daisie said, “Sir, Colton and I aren’t going to become actors now. We still have to go to school!”The young man was persistent and replied, “It’s okay. We can make an appointment first. You can sign a contract with our company when you grow up!”Co
Some fragmented memories flashed across Barbara's head. She felt that she had said something to Helios but couldn't remember it! Maisie brought Daisie and Colton to their car. Colton turned his head around to look at the young man and asked, “Why are you still following us, sir?”The youth laughed dryly. Then, he collected himself, cleared his throat, and said in a serious manner, “I think that since your sister is a child star, she has a lot of potential. She will have a bright future. I guarantee that she will be very popular when she grows up!”Colton looked at him speechlessly.The young man gave him his name card and said confidently, “I’ll wait until your sister comes of age. I’ll sign her and make her into a celebrity who's even more famous than Mr. Boucher!”Colton took over the name card and took a look at it. The name card read Zestar Media Corporation's agent, Triden Gallagher.He did not throw the name card away even though the young man had already left but stuck it
What surprised Barbara was that Helios could actually cook.“You... Don't the Bouchers usually have servants?” Barbara stood beside him and asked curiously, “Do you still need to cook for yourself?”Helios answered while beating the eggs, “I seldom go home when I’m filming. I usually stay outside together with the crew, so I’ll cook whatever I want to eat. I’ve slowly picked up the skill over the course of my career.”Barbara clenched her hand into a fist, placed it in front of her lips, and cleared her throat faintly. “That’s not shabby at all. At least, you’ll survive even when you’re living away from your family.”Helios poured the eggs into the bowl and stared at her. “I can teach you if you want to learn.”Barbara managed to come up with two dishes under Helios’s guidance, although the appearance of the dishes did not look good.Compared to what Helios brought out of the kitchen, hers looked more like two bowls of concoctions that came straight out of a fairytale in which wi
Nolan held the back of her hand and raised his brows. “Blue roses?”Her scarlet lips curled slightly. “Others might prefer red roses and white roses, but I like the rarest of them all. Blue roses are as charming as you are, so who wouldn’t like them?”Nolan’s lips moved closer to her cheek. “Oh, are you admitting that I’m charming?”She choked on her own saliva and turned her face away. “It’s a known fact even if I don’t want to admit it.”Nolan poked her cheek, lowered his head, and kissed her. “No matter how charming I am, I‘m all yours now.”Maisie was very satisfied with his answer.A beautiful silhouette of the two kissing was reflected on the glass window.The next day…Barbara went to the bookstore to buy a cookbook, and she saw several best-selling magazines on the shelf when she was walking toward the cashier. A series of photos that had Helios and Nolan in them was printed on the covers of those magazines. They were all photos that had been taken for their endorsement
