As soon as Rhea Oliver entered the study, she rushed into Stewart Watson’s arms. “Stewart, help my family out. A business deal my family had settled on suddenly went sour, but we’ve ordered the goods with the downstream manufacturers. My family can’t afford the losses now that the business deal is suddenly gone. Why don’t you ask your father to intercede for my family? It’s Yan Hai Group.
Isn’t the president on good terms with your father?”
However, Stewart Watson pushed Rhea Oliver out of his arms and looked at her. “Tell me how many boyfriends you’ve had first.”
Rhea Oliver immediately said, “You’re the only boyfriend I’ve ever had. Don’t you know that?”
“You’ve only had one boyfriend but you’ve slept with several guys before? But you kept talking about saving the best first time for after we got married,” Stewart Watson said coldly.
Rhea Oliver’s eyes glimmered as if she was in a panic, but she quickly calmed down. “What are you talking about? Did someone slander me?”
“Rhea Oliver, do I need to tell you what you’ve been keeping from me? Five years ago, you had an abortion in a private hospital. Three years ago, you had a second abortion. Do I need to tell you exactly when and by whom these surgeries were performed?”
Stewart Watson’s statement surprised Rhea Oliver. Her calm expression finally broke down, and she panicked.
‘Why? I hid everything well. How did Stewart find out?’
Stewart Watson’s heart instantly sank after seeing the look on her face. He was skeptical of the authenticity of the information at first, but Rhea Oliver’s expression was telling him the information was real. He did not even have to look into it.
“Rhea Oliver, how dare you?! You fooled me like I’m an idiot!” Stewart Watson yelled.
Rhea Oliver continued struggling. “Stewart, don’t believe them! Who told you that? I can confront them.”
“Confront them?” Stewart Watson slammed the pile of data on the table on Rhea Oliver. “See for yourself how much you need to confront!”
Rhea Oliver’s expression instantly changed when she saw the information. ‘I went to great lengths to hide… all these, but… why does Stewart Watson have these?’
“Where did you… get these?” Rhea Oliver asked with a trembling voice.
“I’m wondering where they came from too. The pile was on my desk as soon as I came into the study,”
Stewart Watson snapped.
Rhea Oliver immediately recalled what Valda Theller’s boyfriend had said earlier…
‘All relevant details of your dirty deeds will be on the man’s desk in three days.’
It was the third day since she met them!
‘Could that man have done this?’ Rhea Oliver’s hair stood on end instantly. Rhea Oliver shouted, “I was framed. I’ve been framed. Valda Theller’s boyfriend must have done this!
Didn’t we confront him at the jewelry boutique the other day? He deliberately did all this to ruin our relationship!”
Stewart Watson froze. Then, his expression changed. However, what was on his mind was different from Rhea Oliver.
‘If that man did this, who… on earth is he? How did he find out so much in three days and put the information in my study without anyone knowing?
‘Have I offended someone I can’t afford to offend?’
With that in mind, a cold sweat instantly broke out on Stewart Watson’s back as terror flickered in his eyes. The way he looked at Rhea Oliver was full of disgust.
“Rhea Oliver, do you know that the man isn’t someone the Han family can afford to offend if he found all this information? Don’t ever come to my place again. Let’s break up. From now on, you, Rhea Oliver, have nothing to do with me!” Stewart Watson said.
Rhea Oliver’s face was full of disbelief, but it was pointless no matter how she cried and explained. Stewart Watson even asked the servants to chase her out of his residence. Rhea Oliver looked blankly at the closed iron gates. Recalling what Stewart Watson had said, she shuddered instantly.
‘Who on earth… is Valda Theller’s boyfriend?
‘If Valda Theller’s boyfriend was the one who found all this information, could he… have something to do with the trouble my family’s business is facing?
‘This… No way! Even if the man wears an expensive watch and has a lot of money, there’s no way he could have done this!”
She denied it repeatedly in her mind, but she trembled more and more. The expression on her face looked increasingly panicked too.
Camille Strickland invited some colleagues from the magazine, her family, and friends for her birthday.
She booked a private room in a famous restaurant in Emerald City.
Camille Strickland asked Valda Theller “Are you coming alone, or are you bringing Brian with you that day?”
“Do you want to invite him?” Valda Theller asked.
“He’s your boyfriend now. I should invite him, of course. But…. he’s not an ordinary person like the rest of us, after all, so I won’t force him,” said Camille Strickland.
After all, he was the crown prince of the entertainment industry, so he probably would not randomly attend other people’s birthday parties. Besides, she had only met Brian briefly when Valda was hospitalized. They had not even talked to each other!
“I’ll ask him, then,” said Valda Theller.
“Okay, I’ve booked three tables in the private room anyway. There áre seats available,” said Camille Strickland.
Therefore, Valda Theller called Brian at home at night. “My friend is celebrating her birthday tomorrow night. It’s Camille whom I told you about. Do you… uh… want to go?”
“Do you want me to go?” Brian asked in reply.
“Camille’s my best friend. We can go together if you’re free. If you’re not—”
Before she could finish, he said, “Okay, I’ll go.”
She was delighted. ‘Did he really say yes?’
“I’ll pick you up tomorrow evening,” he said.
“Okay,” she replied. When she ended the phone call, she had a sudden feeling of joy in her heart.
She could feel that Brian was gradually accepting her and joining her world.
Even though he might not like her now, let alone love her, he was trying hard like he said he would.
‘Perhaps he’ll slowly fall for me…’ She hoped.
The next evening, Brian came to the studio to pick up Valda Theller. Since she was attending her best friend’s birthday party, Valda Theller deliberately dressed up. She wore a light blue long dress. Her hair, which was always up in a casual ponytail, was put down. She looked fresh and sweet with light makeup on her face.
Brian was stunned by Valda Theller’s appearance today.
He had seen many beautiful women. Of course, Valda Theller was no match for the beautiful women in the entertainment industry. However, her makeup made people feel comfortable. It was not overwhelming but could make one feel relaxed around her.
He seemed to find her beautiful when she smiled sweetly at him.
“Why aren’t you wearing any jewelry? The necklace you wore to the banquet can go with your outfit today,” said Brian.
Valda Theller stuck out her tongue. “That necklace is too expensive. Everyone will probably focus on my neck if I wear the necklace tookay: Camille’s the star this evening ”
was thoWess. I buy you some low-key jewelry you can wear a next time” said Brian.
“No thanks /stom wear jewelry” Valda Theller waved her hand, not wanting him to spend money on her, Bran said nothing more. The two got into the car, and he drove to the restaurant Valda Theller mentioned.
After reaching the private room where Camille Strickland’s birthday party was held, Valda Theller said with a smile, “Happy birthday” She gave Zhou Ximian the birthday gift as she spoke.
“Thanks” Camille Strickland took it, but she had no idea what the gift was because it was wrapped in wrapping paper. She did not tear it open either. Instead of the gift, she focused on Brian.
She had met him briefly when they were in the hospital last time. Besides, the atmosphere at the time prevented her from seeing Brian up close.
Now that she was looking at him up close, Camille Strickland found Brian far better looking than the news photos she found online.
“Hello, Mr. Hart. Thank you for coming to my birthday party,” said Camille Strickland.
Brian replied, “Hello. Happy birthday to you!” With that said, he also took out a gift and handed it to Camille Strickland.
Camille Strickland was stunned, not expecting Brian to give her a separate gift. “Valda has already given me a gift. You’re her boyfriend. The two of you can just give me one gift. If you got me a gift too, it’s as if I invited you here for an extra gift.”
“You’re Valda’s best friend. Besides, you did her a lot of favors back then, so you deserve the gift,” said Brian.
Camille Strickland smiled sheepishly and glanced at Valda Theller before saying, “Thank you, then.”
