Eugene suddenly burst out into laughter as his eyes glinted mockingly. "If I'm really that good, she wouldn't have said that she hates me. She wouldn’t be in such a hurry to leave my side."Sydney could smell the heavy alcohol on him. Perhaps he was really a little drunk. Otherwise, he would not be telling her all these things. All this while, he had never revealed his personal feelings to his employees."Are you referring to Miss Thompson?” Sydney asked cautiously. However, he was leaning against the sofa and keeping quiet. She was unsure whether Eugene had heard her or not.She did not ask him any more questions. She waited for some time and looked at him when she realized he was still not saying a word. She saw that his eyes were shut. ‘Did he doze off or is he just drunk?'"President Eugene?" she called out to him softly. He did not react. Then, she heard his deep breathing. 'It seems like he's a little drunk and dozed off.'Sydney sneakily turned around and headed to the loun
When Rue came chasing after her, a black Bentley drove in from outside. It was Eugene's car.Fern saw the number plate of the car which she was very familiar with and felt her heart sink. She did not expect Eugene to return at this hour.Eugene got down from the car and immediately saw Fern, who was dragging her luggage out, about to leave. Meanwhile, his daughter came running after her from inside.Rue pulled on her mother's hand, her dark eyes looking at her. She said anxiously, "Mommy, are you trying to leave by bringing all your things away? Aren’t you coming back anymore?”Even though Fern had not told her flat out about her plans and even used her career as an excuse, Rue was still a bright child. She noticed that her mother had packed her luggage differently from how she usually did, so she could not help but feel that something was off.She lowered her head and looked into her daughter's innocent dark eyes. Suddenly, she choked up and could not bring herself to lie to Rue.
He came over and carried his daughter who was crying badly. He gently patted her back and softly comforted her, saying, "Why are you crying, silly? Your mommy said she’s not leaving you behind. She’s just… going to work.""But she brought with her all the things that she needs and left behind everything that she doesn’t want. She even said that she won’t be living here anymore. Boo-hoo…” She felt that her mother had abandoned her.Eugene's pupils shrunk when he heard it. 'She only brought away the things that she needs?'Well, I guess that’s true. We’re the ones that she doesn’t need!'Fern had yet to find a place to settle down and planned to stay in a hotel for the time being.She arrived at the hotel and got down from the car. The car behind her also came to a halt and out came Jeremy."You… Aren't you supposed to be in the hospital? Why were you discharged so soon?" She looked at him, astonished.Jeremy was also wearing a mask and even a pair of sunglasses, covering his enti
Jeremy debuted much earlier than Fern, and he was a top actor. It was not possible that he was unaware of the unspoken rules in the industry. ‘How can he be so bold to bring me back to his place and even want me to stay with him?’Jeremy smiled gently. He placed his hand on her shoulder and said, "If news spread, then so be it. If our pictures are taken by the paparazzi, then we’ll just admit that we're staying together."If it were not for his expression that showed that he was just messing around, he would have said that he was crazy to the point of even wanting to destroy his future."You might be fine with it, but I’m not. When the time comes, your fans will come to hunt me down!” Fern could just imagine how terrifying that scene would be."Can you not overthink things? Our fans already think that we’re a couple. If they find out that we’re living together, won’t their fantasies be fulfilled as well?” He was still talking with a smile."Never mind that. Let's focus on reality,
"Huh? Really?" Fern thought for some time and did not find it weird. 'If he’s a bachelor, then naturally he wouldn't have brought any other ladies back home.'"Of course! So, that means you're our young master's girlfriend, right?" Uncle Brown smiled with his eyes squinted while asking.Fern waved her hand. "No way. Please don't get the wrong idea. We're just ordinary friends.""Friends? Then I predict that you’ll be the type of friends who’ll become a couple soon."Fern helplessly supported her head with her hands. ‘Uncle Brown is just running his mouth off…’"Let me tell you this, our young master is a person who has always lived his life in an orderly manner. He has never had a frivolous woman by his side. He's always loyal in relationships. Once he sets his eyes on someone, that person will be the only one in his mind. So, you have to treat our young master well and don't hurt his feelings, alright?""Ah…" Fern found it ridiculous. 'Isn’t Uncle Brown taking this matter a litt
Fern looked into his eyes and did not answer him. Instead, she tilted her head and glanced at him with a critical gaze. She tapped her fingers on the table, asking in a puzzled manner, “First, you make me stay in your house. Then, you want to make me join your agency. What are you plotting?"They were both already adults and many things were complicated, especially when they were both in the entertainment industry. No one would offer a helping hand if there were no benefits involved.She had already canceled her contract with Eugene, which meant she had lost her support. For the days to come, it was still unknown if she would be hired for any shoots. She could not even find a place to stay. 'Why would he help someone like me who has nothing?'Could it be that it's just like what Eugene said? Does he have inappropriate intentions toward me?'It was as if Jeremy had seen through her thoughts. He suddenly smirked as he intentionally leaned into her. "If I say I've fallen for you and
"Then what’s going on?" Fern was curious and then said, "Forget it, I'll look into it myself."After she ended the call, she went to look at the trending topics. She was shocked when she saw the news. It turned out that someone had uploaded a video of Jeremy brawling with Eugene that day on the internet!In the video, Jeremy was being beaten up to the ground by Eugene. Later, she was seen rushing forth to take a punch for Jeremy.The caption of the video said that she had a rich guy as her backer. After she was spotted cheating on him with Jeremy, her financial supporter then taught them both a lesson!All the comments under the video were curses directed at her.[I didn't expect her to be such a b*tch. She looks so polite on the surface yet in her personal life, she’s a mess. She’s disgusting!][I pity the top actor, Jeremy, for being pestered by such a woman. Didn't he know that she has someone rich supporting her?][Shameless b*tch. How dare she seduce our Jerry? I'll curse h
Fern had never been so embarrassed in her life. She had never encountered something like this before. She was stunned. She could smell a horrid stench coming from her body...Those crazed fans ran toward her as she became dizzy. Were they coming over to beat her up? She took a few steps back. Dazed and confused, she did not know what to do. She instinctively closed her eyes. She thought that she was about to get badly beaten up. She stood no chance against them. Just then, a strong force yanked her over from behind! Fern collided into a sturdy chest as someone embraced her. That person then shouted at the maniacal fans, “Leave! You’re not allowed to come close to her!” It was Jeremy. He immediately got down the car and pulled Fern over to his side to protect her after catching sight of the situation. “Ah! It’s Jerry!” These fans were crazy for Jeremy. They all started screaming excitedly the moment he appeared before their eyes.They stopped in their tracks without
