Elliot has just finished showering. Water beads dripped down from his hair.
He had a dry towel in one hand and his phone in the other.
When he saw the news, he tapped it with trembling fingers. After he read through, his eyes were
darkened and cold!
Since when did Avery accept Eric’s token of affection? Did she come to look for him yesterday to tell him
that she has started a new relationship? Was there the need to do25 so?
He threw his phone at the cabinet. It slammed loudly!
In the luxurious European-manner mansion, Wanda had a glass of wine in her hand, slowly96 swirling.
She looked at the news on the internet smugly before taking a sip of red wine.
“Do you know what celebrities are most afraid of?” Wanda said in Zoe’s direction, “They’re most afraid of
losing fans. What would make a celebrity lose fans? The announcement of a new relationship. No matter
how famous Eric is, he can’t escapezd this!”
Zoe was in admiration of Wanda.
“This would definitely hurt Eric. No matter how he tries to explain it, he would surely lose fans.” Wanda
laughed delightedly. “The times have long changed. We are no longer short of handsome and talented
49 celebrities.”
Zoe said, “Don’t be too smug too early. The most famous male celebrities right now are not as great as
Eric.”
“You hold him in such high regard. Don’t tell me you’re his fan too?” Wanda looked at Zoe in35 disbelief.
“Will it be strange that I’m his fan? Our main intention is not to smear Eric. Our target is Avery, so you
should know not to cross the line,” Zoe said, grabbed her bag, and left.
At that moment, Wanda was staying with Richard, so Zoe often came to have a meal together.
After Zoe left, Richard said to Wanda, “Don’t bother her. Do it accordingly to your way. You’re a
businesswoman, profit is what you need to consider.”
Wanda responded distractedly, “Your daughter pissed me off, shouldn’t you repay me in some way?
Massage my feet.”
Richard immediately came over to massage her feet. Wanda lay on the sofa with a comfortable
expression. She sighed. “Why did I have to marry Jack back then? You don’t know that when I was his
wife, I had to obey him all the while, relying on him for my living expenses. What a loser! How I wish he
was alive. I want him to see how great I am right now!”
Richard said pleasingly, “If he was still alive, you would never have come out on your own. We would
never be together either.”
Wanda said, “That’s true. Although he is dead, his daughter is still alive. Whatever he owes me, I’ll make
his daughter pay back with interest!”
At the Starry River Villa, when Avery saw the news, she was stunned because before Eric was cured,
she was a fake fan of his. She did not know that the necklace was something Eric used to wear often.
If she knew it, she would not have accepted the gift. When Eric requested for her to wear the necklace
the day before, she did not think much about it.
She picked up her phone and dialed Eric.
When Eric picked up the call, his tone was as calm and gentle as usual. “Avery, do you want me to clarify
or…”
“Yes.” Avery did not wait for him to finish talking before saying firmly, “I’m sorry, Eric. I didn’t know how
much the necklace meant to you. I’ll return it to you tomorrow.”
“I’ll clarify, but please do not return the gift to me. I’ll be sad,” Eric pleaded.
Avery gave in. “Okay, I’ll keep it, but you have to clarify our relationship.”
Eric was silent for a few seconds before agreeing to it. After the call, Avery picked up a glass and drank
some water.
