Chapter 28

What these celebrities think in their minds is actually what most people think as well.

In their opinion, although Nick Arthur and Simone Milton did have contact with each other, it was quite rare. But it was clear that they weren’t truly in love. They were just having fun together.

After all, given the differences between these two people, no one would be optimistic about their relationship.

Especially when Simone Milton put her arm around Nick Arthur, Alberta Arthur became extremely upset. She rushed over and demanded to know why Nick Arthur had done that. At that moment, everyone understood even better what was going on.

I’m afraid Alberta Arthur would never agree to Nick Arthur being with Simone Milton.

It’s not that they think there’s anything between Alberta Arthur and Simone Milton. That’s not why Alberta Arthur is expressing such strong opposition.

After all, it was well-known that Alberta Arthur and Simone Milton had a poor relationship. No one would deny that fact.

“Second Uncle, please stop being so stubborn. This woman isn’t suitable for you at all! By acting like this, you’re bringing shame to our Arthur family!” Alberta Arthur said these words angrily.

He originally thought that since he had said all that, even if Nick Arthur wasn’t willing to consider Simone Milton’s feelings, he would at least show some consideration and propose breaking up with her.

But what he completely didn’t expect was that, even though he had repeatedly tried to persuade Nick Arthur before, and even though he tried to remind him once again this time, Nick Arthur never showed any intention of giving up at all.

Nick Arthur stared intently at Simone Milton, before giving Alberta Arthur a somewhat indifferent glance.

“I mean, Alberta, let’s put ourselves in each other’s shoes for a moment. If I told you to break up with your girlfriend and you two couldn’t be together anymore, would you think I’m overstepping my bounds?” Nick Arthur asked coldly.

“How can these be confused with each other? Uncle, you’re simply trying to mislead people with your words!” Alberta Arthur said indignantly.

But he never dared to look at Simone Milton’s expression. He could only turn his gaze away.

“Why can’t they be considered the same thing? I’ve already given examples like this before, haven’t I? But it seems like you haven’t taken them seriously. Strictly speaking, our situations are identical. There’s no reason to treat them differently. If it were you doing this, you’d be the one trying to mislead people with false concepts.” Nick Arthur retorted logically.

Albert Arthur remained silent. He knew he was being hypocritical, but he simply couldn’t accept the idea that Nick Arthur’s girlfriend could be Simone Milton.

Seeing that Nick Arthur’s actions made no sense at all, he tried to shift the blame onto Simone Milton, hoping that she would put an end to this absurd relationship.

But before he could say anything, Simone Milton interrupted him with a smile: “I’m sorry, Young Master An. While your urgency is understandable, I must say that I should continue with the process with Mr. Arthur. We regret that we can’t continue our conversation any further.”

Saying this, she gracefully led Nick Arthur away from the center of everyone’s attention.

Albert Arthur watched helplessly as Simone Milton and Nick Arthur left. He felt like the whole world had betrayed him. How could this happen? Why? I was only trying to do what was best for my uncle. Why wouldn’t he listen to me?

Albert Arthur couldn’t figure it out. He was too lazy to keep thinking about it. She still wanted to try once again to persuade Simone Milton.

But before he could take many steps further, Katie Adams, who could no longer stand it, stopped him.

“Alberta… If Uncle likes it that much, then let him be. Let’s not bother with them anymore, okay?” Katie Adams looked at Alberta Arthur with a pleading expression.

She simply couldn’t get used to Alberta Arthur, who completely lost his common sense whenever he met Simone Milton.

She’s tired. This is a very important occasion. She doesn’t want to be in such a special day like today, with Alberta Arthur also busy taking care of Simone Milton and Nick Arthur.

After all, the protagonist now should be her, Katie Adams.

What’s the deal with Alberta Arthur constantly going after Simone Milton and Nick Arthur?

Perhaps it was Katie Adams’ earnest pleas that finally made Alberta Arthur feel the weight of his conscience. In the end, he gave up pursuing Simone Milton and Nick Arthur for the time being.

“Well, I’ll go with you…” Alberta Arthur forced out a reluctant smile and went with Katie Adams to socialize with the industry’s bigwigs.

Albert Arthur wasn’t happy, and Katie Adams wasn’t much better off either.

However, none of this has anything to do with Simone Milton.

Far away from Alberta Arthur, Simone Milton found herself in a place with fewer people. She couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Mr. Arthur, didn’t you see? Alberta Arthur’s face turned blue just now. It was hilarious!” Simone Milton laughed so hard her stomach ached.

Nick Arthur saw how happily Simone Milton was smiling, with her smile growing even wider. He gently put his arm around Simone Milton and said, “Come on, what they do doesn’t matter to us. I’ll introduce you to the people in this circle, so they can take good care of you.”

The underlying message is that Nick Arthur wants to take Simone Milton along so that she can meet with industry insiders and get them to know her better.

Upon hearing this, Simone Milton didn’t refuse. It wasn’t because of the resources Nick Arthur possessed, but simply because of Nick Arthur’s “innocence”.

She certainly hadn’t forgotten why she had agreed to become Nick Arthur’s girlfriend in the first place.

Could there be a better opportunity to assert sovereignty than the situation we have now? No, there couldn’t be.

So Simone Milton decided to take this opportunity to make certain actresses who had ulterior motives give up on Nick Arthur, who was such an easy target.

Seeing that Simone Milton happily accepted, Nick Arthur was very pleased. With a hint of restraint, he took Simone Milton to his circle of friends and introduced her to the few people there.

Nick Arthur’s introduction was also quite interesting. Instead of saying that Simone Milton was his lover, he seriously declared that Simone Milton was his beloved.

“My Simone is now in your care. I hope you’ll take good care of her in the future.” Nick Arthur read out the words from Amway.

He hopes that his friends in his circle will, out of consideration for him, not make things too difficult for Simone Milton.

Yu Quan, the current CEO of Fanying Entertainment and someone who could be considered a close friend of Nick Arthur, almost spat the red wine he was drinking when he heard what Nick Arthur said.

He barely managed to swallow the red wine. He looked at Nick Arthur in surprise. “Are you serious? Good heavens, it’s like a miracle! I thought you were just joking around!”

Nick Arthur wasn’t happy to hear that. He pulled Simone Milton close to him and said, “Do you really think I’m just playing around?”

Seeing the two of them being so intimate, Yu Quan shook his head and said, “I don’t think so!”
