Putting the needle away, Oriana quietly looked at the old man.
“Grandpa, aunt Rebecca said that, you were mom’s housekeeper, what did she mean?”
“She also said that mum had come to LA, could it be that mum wasn’t from LA?”
“Who was the man that she was terrified about?” She questioned calmly and let out a sigh.
Patrick walked into the room and said,
“Oriana, come to my study.”
Oriana trailed Patrick to his study.
Patrick’s face was ugly and cold.
“Dad, did Pamela tell you something? She told you that I was with Deacon Armstead’s card, right?” Oriana queried.
Patrick didn’t deny it.
“Pamela told me that you have Deacon card.
I remember back then during Gabriella’s birthday party, the manager of the Royal star hotel had sent a Rolls–Royce to drive you home.
Are you really sleeping with Deacon?”
Oriana’s bright eyes was filled with disgust.
“Did you say same to Pamela? That she was sleeping with Deacon Armstead?”
“You two are different.
Pamela isn’t married, but you are.
“Pamela defended.
“I can still get a divorce, right?.
Pamela and I are both your daughters.
Deacon Armstead will still be your son–in–law.
irregardless of whom he marries, right? What’s the difference?”
Patrick scoffed.
Of course it wouldn’t be same, and there was a huge difference.
Oriana was not his biological daughter.
The news of boss Armstead investing a whooping million plus into his company, had uplifted Patrick rapidly.
Everyone wanted associating with him.
Now that he learned that Oriana was actually entangled with Deacon, Patrick was about to die of anger.
“President Armstead belongs to Pamela, and Pamela intend marrying him.
So Oriana, break up quickly with President Armstead.” Patrick reprimanded sternly.
Oriana chuckled and muttered indifferently.
“Dad, don’t you think that whosoever marries president Armstead, depends solely on who president Armstead likes?”
Oriana’s words had ignited the anger in Patrick, suddenly, the study door was pushed open and Pamela walked in.
Pamela looked at Patrick soothingly, and said cutely,
“Dad, don’t worry about Oriana.
I know what to do.”
Patrick was so satisfied with Pamela.
He took in a deep breathe and focused his gaze at Oriana.
“You’re also my responsibility, I know that I kinda didn’t discipline you.
Well, I’ll find a university for you to go to.
Look at Pamela, she finished abroad and has now been accepted by the Ivory Council.”
Oriana turned to look at Pamela.
“You’ve been accepted into the Ivory Council?”
“Yup.
I haven’t had the time to tell you the good news.
I was successfully accepted into the splendid medical institute.” Pamela’s eyes shone with pride.
Oriana pondered for a while, then said,
“Dad, I also want to enter into the Ivory Council.”
“What did you say?” Patrick suspected that he had misheard her.
He ruthlessly attacked her.
“You want to enter the Ivory Council, are you dreaming? Have you been to college?
How will the Ivory Council admit you?” Oriana was still very young.
She only graduated from high school.
There was a hint of contempt in Pamela’s eyes.
She gently advised,
“Oriana, we don’t mean to look down on you, but you definitely won’t be able to enter into the Ivory Council.”
“We’ll see.” Oriana smiled lightly and walked out of the room.
“Pay zero attention to her, I’m certain that she’s crazy.
If she can enter into the Ivory Council, I’ll… Just forget it, it’s not possible.”
Pamela returned to her room.
She took out her phone and called Gwen.
“Let me tell you something hilarious that happened.
Just now, Oriana said tha Oriana returned to North’s apartment.
North was on her phone, she called out to Oriana who was watching the TV and said.
“Oriana, Gwen just made a post online, do you wanna take a look?”
“Let me take a look.” Oriana leaned over and took her phone from the center table and turned on her WiFi.
She went online and the first post that appeared was that of Gwen.
“Oriana wants to enter into the Ivory Council without a college degree.
Lol.” Oriana read out with a scoff.
Although Gwen did not have a top–notch traffic like Pamela, but as an upcoming actress, her post quickly trended.
The comments flowed in.
“The important thing is that our lovely Pamela has been accepted into the Ivory Council.”
“Let’s discuss it rationally, Oriana is nineteen years old, it’ll take her about eight years to graduate from medical school, she’ll be atleast twenty–seven years old by then.”
“Lol, that’s funny.”
“Why don’t we all make a bet to see if Oriana can enter the Ivory Council.”
When Oriana clicked on her homepage, she was shocked.
Her eight hundred thousand followers had grown to eight million.
North snapped her fingers and said,
“Don’t be too happy, most of your fans are your enemies.
Go check the trending search for yourself.
The netizens are smashing you.
They’re betting on you to lose.”
North raised her eyebrows.
“Oriana, you’re a celebrity now.”
Oriana went through her timeline, only then did she realize that North had also posted.
North had openly sided with Oriana and had formed a tug–of–war with Pamela.
On the internet, North’s and Pamela’s fans engaged on an endless banter.
Oriana hugged North’s slender arm and rubbed it coquettishly.
“North, you’re the best for me.
You always stand by my side unconditionally.
It us against the world.”
“I don’t care about the society.
All I know is that we’ll be friends forever.”
Oriana was amused so she laughed.
North pushed her and whispered,
“Oriana, it seems that it’s really difficult to get into the council.
Is it that difficult? If you have any difficulties, let me know and I’ll help you find a way.”
Oriana pursed her lips and said in a serious tone,
“North, don’t worry, just wait and see them cover their faces in shame.”
After their discussion, Oriana went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Oriana walked out of the bathroom and North said to her,
“Oriana, this account, is it your grandma’s account?” North shoved her phone into Oriana’s face.
Oriana saw that the entire internet users were bashing and slandering her.
But grandma’s account was the only account aside from North, who took out time to banter with those who slandered Oriana.
“Oriana, this lady is amazing.
Who wouldn’t want a fan like this?” North teased with an envious frown.
Oriana didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
She really didn’t expect that Deacon’s grandma would stand up that way to support her.
“Qlive, I’m going to take a shower.
Take care of yourself.” North walked into the bathroom.
Soon, the doorbell rang, and someone was at the door.
Oriana grabbed a black fringed scarf and draped it over her body, before proceeding over to the door.
The was a tall and handsome figure by the door.
Deacon had come.
Deacon had just returned from the company.
He was wearing a thin black coat with a white shirt and tie underneath.
He looked younger and more handsome than in suit.
His outfit dripped of elegance and wealth.
Deacon fixated on her.
Her beautiful face was covered with a mask, her eyes were clear, and she wore a pair of pink flipflops on her feet.
She looked very homey, yet pretty.
