Chapter 34
Georgia looked at Simone Milton seriously, trying to find out from her who the child’s father was.
“Now, the question before us is… who is the child’s father? He needs to come forward and clarify things. At the very least, we need to remove the stain of having a child out of wedlock from your record.”
His idea was simple: as long as the child’s father stepped forward, the scandal of Simone Milton having a child out of wedlock could be cleared up.
As for Simone Milton’s concealment of her marriage, if handled properly, it might not be impossible to clear her name.
Compared to having children out of wedlock, secret marriages obviously cause less harm.
However, when Simone Milton was asked about these words spoken by Georgia, she simply shook her head in silence.
“Are you shaking your head? Don’t tell me you can’t find the child’s father!” Georgia became frantic when she saw Simone Milton shaking her head.
Immediately afterwards, Georgia made a bold speculation: “So, you not only had a child out of wedlock, but you also had no idea who the father was?”
He really knew Simone Milton quite well.
If Simone Milton’s child’s father were to show up, then Simone Milton wouldn’t feel so guilty and would not have to sit there obediently, taking his reprimands.
“Speak up! Simone Milton, do you still want to hide the truth?” Georgia glared at Simone Milton, who kept talking non-stop, and yelled in anger.
After much hesitation, Simone Milton finally decided to tell the truth.
She said, “I’m very sorry… but I really have no idea who the father of the child is. I indeed had a child out of wedlock. That’s an undeniable fact.”
Unexpectedly, Georgia, whose guess came true, was utterly devastated: “You really can’t say it? How is that possible? You don’t even know who the child’s father is?”
Georgia really is frustrating to work with. If his eyes really had lethal power, Simone Milton would have been torn to pieces by now.
He lay down in the chair, exhausted. With a tired look, he waved his hand at Simone Milton. “It’s impossible for me to save you! What am I supposed to do with you like this?”
“I’m truly sorry…” At this moment, Simone Milton couldn’t think of anything else to say beyond those words of apology.
As for who the child’s father was, Simone Milton truly had no idea.
In her memories, there aren’t any clues that could help her determine who the child’s father is.
In fact, after carefully reviewing her memories, Simone Milton could reasonably conclude that even the original owner might not have been able to figure out whose child this was.
According to the original owner’s memories, this child was owned by them before they went to live with Juliet Milton.
It was that little girl who knew little about the world, who went to a bar to try drinking in order to gain courage. She got pregnant after losing consciousness from drinking too much.
It’s very likely that after the original owner lost consciousness from drinking, their body was found by someone else, which led to what happened.
However, it’s completely pointless to blame the original owner at this point in time.
After all, the original owner didn’t want this to happen either.
It can only be said that the original owner was young and curious about everything outside. Without any sense of caution, they entered the bar, which led to what happened.
“Apologize, just apologize! What else do you know how to do besides apologize?” Georgia looked at Simone Milton with exhaustion on her face.
At this moment, he finally felt again that sense of helplessness he had once experienced toward Simone Milton.
“Never mind. Maybe I really do owe you something,” Georgia took a deep breath and said to Simone Milton, irritably. “Now, listen carefully: I’ll find someone who’s a complete novice to act alongside you in the play.”
“By then, you’ll be a single mother who’s divorced from her husband and entered the entertainment industry so she can provide a good life for her child. Such an inspiring character should appeal to many people.”
At this point, Georgia said to Simone Milton, as if giving her a warning: “But you need to understand that after something like this happens, your popularity definitely won’t be as high as before. The company won’t give you any special treatment either. It won’t be as if you’re being completely ignored, but you’d better be prepared for a difficult situation.”
Hearing Georgia say that, Simone Milton didn’t complain at all. In fact, Georgia was already being very generous by giving her so much advice.
If another agent were in charge, the most sensible thing to do would be to transfer all the resources that originally belonged to Simone Milton to other, more popular artists under that agent’s supervision.
Then, while Simone Milton is still useful, extract every last bit of value from her. Once Simone Milton has no value left at all, then trample her aside.
Such things have not happened in the entertainment industry, which is like a big “bath of colors” where anything can happen.
Georgia didn’t go to extremes in this matter, which is truly fair to Simone Milton.
“I understand, Georgia. I’ll follow your arrangements,” said Simone Milton. She paused for a moment before continuing.
She took a deep breath before continuing to say to Georgia, “By the way, if possible, please don’t reveal anything about my daughter. She’s still young, and I don’t want her to be disturbed by these matters.”
This is also one of the few things she can do for Martha.
To be honest, it’s embarrassing to say, but she was truly derelict in her duties.
Whether as a mother or as an artist who works with the public.
Perhaps it was the determination in Simone Milton’s eyes that made it impossible for Georgia to say those mocking words. He sighed.
Even if Simone Milton isn’t who she used to be, she’s still a mother. Georgia can probably understand what Simone Milton is thinking at this very moment.
“Don’t worry, I have the ability to do this. No information about your daughter, including photos, will be posted online,” Georgia promised. Then, she took a deep breath, pulled out her phone, and made a call.
After the phone call, Georgia, physically and mentally exhausted, threw her phone on the seat and said weakly to Simone Milton:
“I’ve taken care of everything. Now, go back and get some rest! If there’s any important announcement, I’ll call you.”
After saying those words, Georgia rubbed his forehead, which was throbbing with pain. He had made it sound so easy, but in reality, it would be quite difficult to resolve the issues involved.
Most importantly, Simone Milton’s endorsement deal, which had already been finalized, was, of course, completely ruined.
The only consolation is that the contracts Simone Milton currently holds do not involve high breach of contract fees. Otherwise, this would be yet another troublesome situation.
Simone Milton didn’t bother Georgia’s brainstorm any further. Once the limousine arrived at the destination, she got out and returned to her own villa.
Opening the door and stepping into the villa, Simone Milton looked around at the empty house. Thinking about the negative comments online, she felt extremely depressed.
It goes without saying that once Juliet Milton returns, she’ll probably get scolded by Juliet Milton again.
She couldn’t help but think, with a touch of humor in the midst of hardship, that at least for now, her ears were free from noise.
Just as she was lost in thought, heavy footsteps came from the second floor. It was Nick Arthur.
