Couldnât tarnish it?
Chloe Chambers fiddled with a button on his collar, âDonât you want to have me if you like me so much?â
Sean was speechless.
Could he, could he leave right now?
Chloe smiled as she lifted his chin, âDonât tell me you canât touch me before our marriage for my own good.â
âThat, thatâs really true. If we really did that, your reputation would be ruined. Letâs wait until the future for your own sakeâ¦â
Chloe pushed him away violently and sneered coldly, âSean, do you think Iâm stupid?
Do you think I fall in love that easily?â
Her heart really fluttered after Seanâs confession. However, after calming down and thinking about it, Sean confessed to her just as she was about to marry Matthew Nelson. Was this a coincidence or was this his plan to keep her from marrying Matthew?
If not for this critical moment, she would definitely consider Sean. He looked handsome, and he was also a famous celebrity.
Being his girlfriend would undoubtedly make his female admirers jealous of her, which would completely satisfy her sense of superiority for the jealousy of others.
The reason she deliberately made such a request a while ago was to test whether Sean was sincere or not. However, it was just as she expected.
Sean had an objective to come to confess to her at this time.
âSean, you wonât wait until now to confess to me if you love me. are you afraid? Thatâs not who you are. Anyway, youâre done performing, too. Are you going to continue orâ¦?â She pointed to the door.
Seanâs face twitched. Did Chloe know he was acting all along?
Was she just testing him a little while ago?
He narrowed his eyes, âChloe, why did I just realize youâve become so annoying?
Why do you have to like a married man?â.
Chloe sat on the end of the bed and looked at him, âArenât you going to act anymore, isnât Matthew crazy, isnât he a psychopath who abuses women? Keep telling what other manias he has.â
Sean was quick to choke her neck. Chloe leaned her neck back to meet his hands. Sean was really about to go crazy because of this woman. However, he wasnât able to strangle her as he was met with a face that looked all too familiar.
He still felt angry inside. His hands, which were in the air, clenched tightly.
Chloe looked at him calmly. She was a little afraid when Sean rushed in that instant. However, that fear disappeared when she thought of the times Sean rushed to protect her when she was bullied when she was younger.
Thatâs why she wasnât afraid to lean her neck back and let him strangle her.
âNoah Harris, your celebrity skills were not in vain. Youâre really good at acting. In fact, I took you seriously several times. However, donât bother thinking too much about the fact that Iâm marrying Matthew because Iâm definitely marrying him.â
Sean stared at her face, âWhat do you like about him?â.
Chloe pondered for a few seconds, what did she like about him?
She didnât know either. She just felt that she would be happy as his wife. He had the charm of a mature man that Sean didnât have.
âDo I like his identity and status? Do I like that heâs handsome? Do I like that heâs cold to everyone else, but heâs kind to his wife? I donât know either. I couldnât describe that kind of attraction. I also know itâs not right to separate them like that. But Sean, your father is the one in charge of all this. If you want to accuse someone, you should accuse him and not put so much stock in me.â
Sean stared at her in silence. He uttered only one sentence after a long while, âI liked you better when you were a child.â
After saying that, Sean turned and left the room. Chloe just sat there and muttered, âEveryone will change. Who grows up unchanged?â Wasnât fighting for what you love the popular saying right now?
Was it wrong for her to fight for what she loved?
Sean didnât go straight home after leaving the Chambers residence. Instead, he went straight to Matthewâs company. Tommy Huff was sitting on the steps in front of the door as he waited for Sean.
He couldnât locate Sean, and he wasnât home either. He already looked everywhere, but still couldnât find him. So he could only wait here and hope he got lucky.
He knew Sean and Matthewâs relationship. Thatâs why he decided to wait here and try his luck.
However, he finally saw Sean when his butt had already deflated from sitting too long. When he saw him, he felt happier than seeing his own parents, âHave you two gone where? I couldnât even reach you. Iâve almost lost my mind.â
âWhatâs wrong?â
âI received a proposal from Perfect cosmetics yesterday and they wanted you to promote them. The appearance feeâ¦â Tommy held up his hand and waved all five fingers, âGuess how much it is.â
Sean looked at him coldly, âIâm not taking anything. Donât look for me these days. Iâm busy.â
When he finished speaking, he walked past Tommyâs shoulders and into the company. Tommyâs jaw dropped â how could he not take it? That was money. He matched Seanâs stride, âTheyâve already offered fifteen million when I havenât even said the price. Maybe we can still add a little moreâ¦â
âI said Iâm not taking it, didnât you hear me?â Sean grew impatient at being chased.
Tommy stopped and stood still. He looked at Seanâs back, âYou think these kinds of money making opportunities come along every day? A fifteen million ad, thatâs already very expensive. Why would they offer so much money? Isnât it because theyâve seen how famous you are and how many fans you have now? The entertainment industry. Youâre in the entertainment industry. How many people could be popular forever? If youâre not making money while youâre popular, why are you still a celebrity? Why the hell do you want to become a celebrity?â
Everyone knew it wasnât easy to work in the entertainment industry. But everyone was still recklessly striving to work their way up. Wasnât it about the money?
If he wasnât interested in the money, why did he want to become a celebrity?
Sean stood inside the elevator and looked at Tommy, who was almost forlorn: âI became a celebrity because my father doesnât like it. It wasnât related to money. You can leave if you feel wronged for following me.â
âI wonât leave. Iâll wait for you,â Tommy said firmly. He had been with Sean for many years now. He treated him well, too. It wouldnât be right for him to leave right now.
Sean gave him a good-friend nod. Then the elevator doors closed.
Tommy turned and walked away disappointed.
The fifteen million was gone just like that.
He turned around and looked at the huge reception room on the second floor of the company. The marble floor was so well polished that the figures could be reflected. The entire reception area had a golden background. The two words, WY Group, were vigorous, prominent and powerful.
He sighed, âYou can be impulsive if you have a rich brother, is fifteen million money?â
He was still thinking about that fifteen million with pain as he walked away.
That was just a fee for an ad.
It was just a few minutes of advertising.
âFuck, money is just paper. The paper you use to wipe asses.â
After Sean went upstairs, he no longer knocked on the door and just pushed open the door to Matthewâs office, as he was in a hurry. Armand Bernie was talking when he heard a noise. Then he turned his head and saw Sean standing in the doorway.
Boyce Shawn was also sitting there next to Armand.
Sean walked in and closed the door, âTheyâre all here.â
At this point, no one spoke. They just let him sit down.
Armand continued, âRight now we canât find any information about that video on Weibo. Itâs pretty much solved already.â
The media outlets investigating it issued an apology. They also claimed that the video had been artificially staged. Therefore, it was not a real incident.
They also withdrew the searches trending for this matter earlier.
Matthew sat on a single sofa with French windows behind him. He leaned back lazily and did not speak. He didnât even look up when Sean entered.
He fell silent after Armand spoke.
A heavy atmosphere reigned throughout the office.
Boyce broke the silence, âThe doctor said he was fine. It was due to anxiety rage. Theyâre at the hospital right now. Eddie Chambers and Marina Lee are there.â
Matthewâs heart still softened. He let Boyce check on Jeffery Harrisâs condition.
As Sean listened to Boyce, why did he seem to be talking about Jeffery?
He tugged at Boyce, âWho are you talking about?â
âDidnât you know your father was hospitalized?â It was okay, since Sean wasnât in China all the time, but Marina should have told him since he was in China.
So Sean wouldnât be found, no one in his family knew his phone number.
âIâll go take a look,â No matter how fierce their fight and how bad their relationship had gotten, the family love where blood was thicker than water was always there. As soon as she heard he was hospitalized, she kept wanting to go check on him. Sean only took a few steps when he suddenly stopped. He lowered his head, âThis whole thing was my dadâs fault. Heâs gotten more senile the older he gets.â
âThis whole thing was your fatherâs faultâ¦â
âArmand.â
Just when Armand couldnât help but complain about Jeffery, a deep, deep voice interrupted him.
Armand fell silent.
Matthew raised his eyes to look at Armand. Then he turned to Sean, âGo ahead.â This matter had nothing to do with Sean.
Sean took a deep breath and walked out of the office.
Boyce used his elbow to prod Armand when he saw the closed door, âJeffery is Jeffery, and Sean is Sean. What do you want me to do by telling him that? Will it solve the problem if you ask him to scold or hit Jeffery?â
âIâm just angry, okay? Stop it, why canât we put aside the past issues? Why should people of this generation get involved in the past problems? I think Sean is right. Jeffery has gone senile,â Armand said angrily.
âIâm leaving,â Matthew stood up. âI didnât want to hear anything about this matter.
