Chapter 42

Albert Arthur nodded casually, not daring to look up at Katie Adams.

After all, yesterday, because he thought of Simone Milton, he looked sad and worried. If anyone heard what he said, it would surely make Katie Adams sad.

Originally, Katie Adams and Simone Milton didn’t get along well. Alberta Arthur didn’t want to further exacerbate the tension between the two of them.

Of course, it’s unclear whether he really wants to avoid further conflicts between the two people, or if he’s just making excuses out of guilt.

Probably only he himself knows about this matter.

After seeing Alberta Arthur nod, Katie Adams said a few more words showing her concern for her.

“But you need to take care of yourself while filming too…” Katie Adams said, quietly observing Alberta Arthur’s condition.

Albert Arthur maintained a perfunctory attitude throughout, seemingly not really listening to what she said.

With this discovery, Katie Adams felt very sad. At the same time, she became even more suspicious about why Alberta Arthur was photographed in such a way yesterday.

Logically speaking, Alberta Arthur isn’t some rookie just starting out in the field. How could she make such a serious mistake? How could she show such an expression in a place where privacy isn’t well protected?

So, Alberta Arthur definitely must be something special!

Katie Adams was absolutely certain of this, yet she acted as if she knew nothing about it.

After chatting with Alberta Arthur for a while, Katie Adams left Alberta Arthur’s room.

In the morning, there were no scenes involving Katie Adams. So, she left Alberta Arthur’s room and didn’t go to the set. Instead, she went back to her own house.

Trying to hold back her sorrow, Katie Adams called Sister Hu, her voice slightly trembling.

Katie Adams’s voice sounded panicked: “Sis Hu, what should I do… Alberta wasn’t like this before. But now, he’s becoming more and more impatient to be with me… I’m really worried.”

She didn’t say what she was worried about, but Sister Hu could tell what it was.

Katie Adams is worried that Alberta Arthur might have changed her mind without her knowing.

If such a thing were to happen, it would be like a thunderbolt to Katie Adams.

This doesn’t just mean that Alberta Arthur is completely out of control. It also means that the love that Katie Adams worked so hard to gain has disappeared, all without her knowing.

On the other end of the phone, Sister Hu frowned and asked Katie Adams, “Are you really sure? Could there be some misunderstanding? He’s actually very kind to you!”

Yes, if Alberta Arthur treats Katie Adams badly, it’s impossible for Katie Adams to get the lead role in a big production like “Three Lives”. She simply can’t just get the role by saying so.

Even if one were to find a wealthy patron, it’s unlikely that they’d be as generous as Alberta Arthur.

Fearful, Katie Adams curled up on the bed. With a somewhat hoarse voice, she said, “I’m not entirely sure, but I can clearly feel that his attitude toward me is becoming more and more impatient and perfunctory… If this continues, I’ll completely lose him!”

“Calm down, Simone Milton. You’ve managed to get through that challenge, so what’s there to be afraid of?” When Sister Hu heard Katie Adams’s voice, she became more agitated and couldn’t help but frown, trying to soothe her.

“But the situation is different now… And besides, Simone Milton is so much better than me. I’m afraid Alberta might suddenly realize Simone Milton’s strengths and abandon me instead…” Katie Adams said, filled with insecurity.

She didn’t tell Sister Hu that when she went home during her vacation to find Alberta Arthur, she noticed that Alberta Arthur kept mentioning Simone Milton in every conversation they had.

Although she really wanted to convince herself that Alberta Arthur simply wanted to see Simone Milton and wasn’t being so smug after all.

If he can be her boyfriend, yet pays excessive attention to another woman, how could Katie Adams not be worried?

She wasn’t only worried, but also very scared.

What’s even more terrifying is that she has a premonition that the things she fears and worries about are gradually becoming a reality.

“You have to help me, Sister Hu! I absolutely must win Alberta! If you don’t help me, I really don’t know who else to turn to!”

Katie Adams, completely terrified by her own imagination, spoke in panic, seeking help from Sister Hu.

Katie Adams, who simply couldn’t calm down at all, felt like her mind was in a complete mess. She couldn’t think of any way to win Alberta Arthur’s unwavering love.

“If what you say is true, then we should first try to gauge Alberta Arthur’s reaction and see how he responds,” Sister Hu said after thinking for a moment.

“I remember that in a few days, you’ll be finishing filming, right?” Sister Hu suddenly asked this question.

Katie Adams is correct. In a few days, she’ll indeed be finishing filming.

“In that case, after the movie ends, you should have a celebration party. I’ll get in touch with your fans and ask them to try to get Alberta Arthur to talk.” Sister Hu offered her solution.

“Sister Hu, are you trying to force a marriage? But if that’s the case, what will happen…” Katie Adams was worried. If Alberta Arthur found out about this, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“You really have no other choice now, do you? In that case, you’ll have to follow my arrangements!” said Sister Hu.

Hearing Sister Hu say that, Katie Adams nodded. In the end, she didn’t forget to remind Sister Hu, “Sister Hu, you really need to be careful. Don’t let anyone find out about this!”

“Don’t worry, don’t you know me yet?” When Sister Hu heard Katie Adams say this, she knew that Katie Adams agreed with her idea.

After hanging up the phone, Sister Hu immediately got to work arranging things.

With Sister Hu’s promise, Katie Adams felt much more relieved.

Even so, in the two days that followed, even when she happened to meet Simone Milton on the set, she still didn’t show Simone Milton any kindness or goodwill.

Simona Milton, who had completed her scenes and officially finished filming, was puzzled by Katie Adams’ sarcastic gaze.

But she didn’t really take it to heart. After all, she and Katie Adams hadn’t gotten along for years. What was the point of worrying too much about it?

Before leaving, Simone Milton went out of her way to thank Oliver Arthur. She also asked Marian to buy small gifts for the other staff members as a token of gratitude.

“Thank you so much, Director Ann. Without your guidance, I probably wouldn’t have been able to adapt to the current pace of work so quickly.” Simone Milton expressed her sincere gratitude to Oliver Arthur.

“Ha, no need for such thanks. If anyone deserves thanks, it’s Director Pond, for giving me such a great recommendation and allowing me to meet someone as talented as you!” Oliver Arthur winked playfully.

Before Simone Milton left, Oliver Arthur said in a somewhat suggestive manner, “You’re a good actress, with great potential. I hope you’ll realize your true place and not waste your talent.”

Simone Milton was puzzled. She felt like there was more to Oliver Arthur’s words than met the eye.

But unable to figure it out, she put the matter aside for now and left the set with a smile.

Not long after Simone Milton finished filming, Oliver Arthur received a call from Nick Arthur.

“Second brother, why do you have time to call me today?” Oliver Arthur asked, knowing full well the answer.

“…How is Simone now?” Nick Arthur ignored the teasing tone in Oliver Arthur’s words and hesitantly asked.

“Ha, I knew you came here for Simone Milton. Don’t worry, I’m not going to eat her, anyway.” Oliver Arthur said this, then changed the subject. “She’s a nice person with a good character. Her future looks bright.”

“Of course, she’s the best.” Hearing his subordinate praise Simone Milton, Nick Arthur couldn’t help but puff out his chest and speak with a hint of pride.

Hearing Nick Arthur speak in such praise of Oliver Arthur, Oliver was so jealous he could barely stand it. He had known Nick Arthur for a long time, and had never seen him act like this before.

Are people in love really stupid?

Oliver Arthur, deciding to end the topic, promptly brought the conversation back to Katie Adams: “Earlier, my sister-in-law said that Simone Milton had a poor character and was unpleasant to be around. But I thought she was quite alright. On the other hand, Katie Adams, whom she kept praising, seems a bit suspicious to me.”

“That’s not someone easy to deal with. But each generation has its own blessings. As elders, it’s better not to meddle too much.” Nick Arthur said sternly.

He knew very well that Oliver Arthur suddenly mentioned Katie Adams. There must be some reason behind it. Otherwise, Oliver Arthur wouldn’t have mentioned Katie Adams so bluntly without any reason.

“But… I really doubt now whether Alberta is actually your nephew…” Oliver Arthur was clearly speechless for a moment before slowly uttering those words.

“If Big Brother finds out, he’ll definitely be angry,” Nick Arthur thought for a moment before speaking again. “So, you can go and remind Big Brother and his wife.”

Oliver Arthur thought to himself the same thing. After hanging up the phone with Nick Arthur, he instinctively wanted to call Mr. Arthur.

But just as he pressed the dial button, he suddenly thought of a very serious problem: If he shared his suspicions, what kind of tricks might Katie Adams try to use? And would his brother believe him at all?

After hesitating for a moment, Oliver Arthur finally dialed the number. As he had expected, his older brother, upon hearing his message, immediately asked for evidence.

“There’s no evidence. I just feel like Katie Adams has been acting strangely lately, so I thought…” Oliver Arthur was uneasy. He knew his older brother’s personality all too well.

If there’s no evidence and one makes up stories out of thin air, his elder brother definitely won’t believe it.

Most importantly, he really had no evidence. He merely noticed something odd based on his recent observations of Katie Adams.

Katie Adams has been acting extremely strangely these past few days.

“Alright, I know about this matter now. You needn’t worry about it anymore. Just focus on filming your movie!” After saying that, Mr. Arthur hung up the phone.

Mr. Arthur, who was working hard in the company, didn’t fully believe Oliver Arthur’s words. But, just to be safe, he ordered that someone investigate Katie Adams’ recent activities.

The person who went to check brought back news soon, telling Mr. Arthur that Katie Adams had been busy filming lately and was behaving properly.

“Perhaps I’m overthinking it!” Mr. Arthur murmured to himself after arriving at this conclusion. He then decided to put the matter out of his mind for now.

On Oliver Arthur’s end, once filming was finally completed, he immediately got to work on the post-production and editing.

It’s a long and meticulous process. Fortunately, Oliver Arthur’s team is accustomed to his pace, so everything proceeds in an orderly manner.

It seems like everything has returned to calm.

Upon returning home, Simone Milton canceled her work and went on a mother-son trip with Martha.

Although Nick Arthur was added at the last minute, overall, Martha was very satisfied.

Meanwhile, Katie Adams was extremely anxious. She had planned to act against Alberta Arthur during the wrap-party, so that her fans would go and question Alberta Arthur about it.

However, to her surprise, the day before the wrap-party, Alberta Arthur suddenly left, ruining her plans.

Most importantly, Sister Hu told her that there was a group of people secretly watching their movements.

Although she didn’t know who these people were, for the sake of safety, she had no choice but to keep postponing her plans.

This delay has actually pushed the movie’s release to the Chinese New Year season. Just as “Three Lives” was about to be released, it underwent massive promotional efforts.

Regarding this movie, some people are optimistic about it, while others aren’t. However, every film critic who was invited to watch the movie didn’t hesitate to express their approval of it.

On the day of the movie’s premiere, both those who came because of the director’s reputation and those who came to see their favorite actors were deeply impressed by the worldview presented in the film.

This is undoubtedly an excellent film, and it truly deserves to be called the king of this New Year’s season.

In the past, when it came to fantasy movies, most people considered them to be of poor quality, or at best, they were seen as Mary Sue-themed films disguised as fantasy works.

But this time, in that magnificent world, everyone was able to truly understand what chivalry and tenderness meant in that realm.

For a while, in addition to those overwhelmingly positive movie reviews, there were also many fans who actively promoted the film everywhere.

The first or second viewing doesn’t dampen anyone’s enthusiasm for watching it. Especially after watching it several times, people can discover more details, which makes them even more eager to watch it again.

In just one week, the viewership of “Three Lives” exceeded 100 million, and the figure continues to rise. It can be said that this holiday season has been completely dominated by this show.

There’s a lot of discussion about this online, but most people express their best wishes regarding the matter.

At this critical moment, Oliver Arthur also gathered all the actors he could and held a celebration.

Of course, this celebration party wasn’t just for the cast and crew. The media was also invited to share in the joy together.

On the day of the celebration banquet, Simone Milton wore a conservative black dress, making her look absolutely stunning.

As she stepped onto the stage under the flashing lights, the fans sitting in the audience immediately exclaimed, “Li Rong, I love you!”

Yes, this film features many likable characters. Among them, Simone Milton’s portrayal of Li Rong stands out.

And prior to that, the character Leng Su, played by Simone Milton, was a character that people really enjoyed discussing.

Simone Milton politely bowed to her fans in the audience, then took her seat.

On the other hand, Katie Adams, who was sitting nearby, didn’t seem to generate as much enthusiasm as Simone Milton did.

Apart from a few die-hard fans of Katie Adams, not many people were there at all. The female lead portrayed by Katie Adams truly moved her fans.

This has something to do with Katie Adams’ acting skills.

But to be honest, it’s really just her own fault for not making the most of the situation. After all, she had such a great opportunity at that time, but she failed to seize it.

Instead, she was relieved that Oliver Arthur wasn’t so harsh on her. Now, even if she wanted to regret it, it was too late.

Throughout the celebration, Katie Adams seemed completely indifferent. She came there with Alberta Arthur today.

Although Alberta Arthur wasn’t sitting on stage with her, she was seated in the front row below. From time to time, they exchanged glances, creating a rather sweet atmosphere between them.

Only Katie Adams herself knew how uneasy she really was inside.

She was both anxious to hear the answer Alberta Arthur might give in a moment, and yet couldn’t help feeling uneasy about what Alberta Arthur would say.

Just as Katie Adams had predicted, her fans, who were among the audience, finally got their chance to ask questions to the crew.

Other fans, when they got this opportunity, would ask the crew members if there were any interesting things that could be shared about the show.

Only this Katy Adams fan, after getting the microphone, excitedly asked Katy Adams, “Suey, actually, I’m here to ask you a rather personal question. You’ve been dating Alberta Arthur for so long now. When do you plan to get married?”

Finally, Katie Adams got to answer this question. She couldn’t hide her joy, but on the surface, she pretended to be shy.

She said, “We haven’t discussed this yet. If anything is decided, we’ll definitely let you know.”

As she said this, she looked at Alberta Arthur with tender eyes, the hint in her gaze being quite obvious.

She hoped that at this moment, Alberta Yana would be brave enough to step forward and announce loudly that they were considering getting married.

However, something happened that disappointed Katie Adams. Alberta Arthur, who was in the audience, seemed to have missed her hint. She continued to smile and stare at the stage.

In fact, upon closer inspection, it’s clear that Alberta Arthur’s expression is completely stiff. Even the smile on her face seems to be barely maintained.

Albert Arthur really didn’t expect that Katie Adams’s fans would choose such a sensitive moment to ask when he and Katie Adams would get married.

This left him panicked and frustrated. He couldn’t help but blame Katie Adams for being irresponsible. If Katie Adams had known how to properly manage her fans, he wouldn’t have been in such a difficult situation.

Even when asked this question, he instinctively glanced at Simone Milton.

He would have thought that, upon hearing this question, Simone Milton would show surprise or sadness.

But the cold reality made him fully realize that it was all just his own delusions after all.

In reality, Simone Milton wasn’t sad or shocked at all. It seemed like she simply didn’t care about these things at all.

Ah… So in her eyes, I’m nothing anymore? Thinking of this, Alberta Arthur couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

But such distressed thoughts lasted only for a second. Once again, he became the confident and outgoing Alberta Arthur of old.

“Alberta?” Katie Adams watched every reaction of Alberta Arthur. Though her heart ached unbearably, she had to pretend not to notice.

She called out “Albert Arthur,” her eyes filled with anticipation.

But how can Alberta Arthur possibly bear such expectations right now?

He subconsciously turned his head away, not daring to look at Katie Adams.

But the staff member had already handed the microphone to him, so he had no choice but to take it.

“Sorry, regarding the matter of getting married, we haven’t made any decisions yet. As Katie Adams said, if we do decide to get married, we’ll definitely let you know.” Alberta Arthur spoke in a formal and polite manner.

Such an answer is undoubtedly unsatisfactory for Katie Adams’s fans.

But before this Katie Adams fan could say anything, Katie Adams quickly changed the subject.

Katie Adams, who already knew exactly what Alberta Arthur’s attitude was, forced a smile and said to her fan, “Alright, this is a celebration for our show ‘Three Lives’. Let’s not talk about unrelated topics.”

After saying that, Katie Adams handed the microphone to the host, urging them to proceed with the next step of the procedure.

Standing aside, Oliver Arthur glanced thoughtfully at Katie Adams and Alberta Arthur. Only then did he focus his attention entirely on the celebration itself.

No matter what those two young people plan to do, one thing’s for sure: nothing should go wrong with his celebration party.

A celebration party, thanks to the incident involving Katie Adams, became rather dull and uninteresting afterward.

Everyone has been talking a lot about the reactions of Katie Adams and Alberta Arthur earlier on.

After the celebration party ended, Katie Adams left the place with Alberta Arthur.

Just as they were about to leave, by some strange coincidence, those two people happened to run into Simone Milton, who was also leaving.

Simone Milton nodded at the two of them and then turned to leave. After all, she really had nothing to say to them.

However, just as she took one step forward, Katie Adams, who was behind her, suddenly stepped forward and stopped her.

“Sorry… Miss Milton, could you please talk to me for a moment?” Katie Adams wore a gentle smile on her face. It was as though there was a filter over her, making her look absolutely beautiful under the light.

At least for this moment, Alberta Arthur couldn’t help but be attracted to Katie Adams.

But this attraction was quickly taken away by Simone Milton. She took out a pair of sunglasses from her bag and put them on, giving Katie Adams a cold, aloof look.

“Miss Wen, I don’t think there’s anything left to say between us. Well, since the celebration is over, I won’t bother you two anymore. Goodbye.” Simone Milton said, sending a kiss to Katie Adams before walking away.

Watching Simone Milton walk away with such determination, Alberta Arthur thought how graceful and composed this woman was.

The special emotions that already occupied his heart grew even stronger at this moment.

If only… Alberta Arthur couldn’t help but think to herself. She even couldn’t resist following in Simone Milton’s footsteps.

Katie Adams saw that Alberta Arthur looked as though her soul had been taken away. She was extremely annoyed and couldn’t help but pull Alberta Arthur aside.

She pleaded with Alberta Arthur, who had turned around, as if to say: “Please don’t leave her, okay?”

Albert Arthur understood that expression. Guilt spread through his heart. He sighed and forced a smile as he said to Katie Adams, “Let’s go. It’s time for us to leave too.”

Katie Adams was finally satisfied. With a smile on her face, she followed Alberta Arthur out through the gate.

Just as they reached the gate, Simone Milton stepped out first. At that moment, Nick Arthur got into the car right away.

Seeing Simone Milton being picked up personally by Nick Arthur, she was a bit surprised. “Mr. Arthur, why did you come in person?”

Nick Arthur stepped forward and slowly approached Simone Milton. He affectionately tickled the tip of Simone Milton’s nose.

“Of course, it’s because a princess’s knight must always be by her side. That’s why I’m here,” said Nick Arthur with a smile.

Hearing these words, Simone Milton couldn’t help but feel a sweet warmth in her heart. She gently covered her mouth and laughed.

“So, Mr. Arthur, you mean to say that you’re my knight? What an honor for me!” Simone Milton said, smiling at Nick Arthur in a teasing manner.

“Now, your knight would like to invite you to have dinner together. I wonder, my princess, whether you would be willing to grant this small request of mine?” Nick Arthur said this while making a gentlemanly bow.

Seeing this, Simone Milton raised an eyebrow and said, “I take it, Mr. Arthur, that this is an invitation to go on a date with me?”

“Yes, that’s right! I wonder if I’d be honored enough to do so?” Nick Arthur asked Simone Milton with a smile, openly admitting his intentions.

While Simone Milton and Nick Arthur were engrossed in each other, Alberta Arthur, standing behind them, couldn’t help but stare at Simone Milton’s beaming smile, completely captivated.

“Alberta…” Seeing her boyfriend beside her, Katie Adams became infatuated with him once again. She felt embarrassed and wanted to bring Alberta Arthur back to reality.

“Sorry…” Alberta Arthur came back to her senses. Facing Katie Adams’s disappointed expression, she didn’t know what to say for a moment.

“There’s nothing to be sorry about…” Katie Adams wore a bitter smile on her face.

She took a deep breath, as if mustering up courage, and asked Alberta Arthur, “Um, what’s your opinion on the question my fan asked at the celebration party?”

Hearing Katie Adams say that, Alberta Arthur instinctively wanted to run away. He looked at Katie Adams with a tired expression.

“I’m sorry, but I feel a bit tired today. Could we discuss this issue another time?” Alberta Arthur looked at Katie Adams earnestly, hoping she could see the fatigue and reluctance in his eyes.

“But…” Katie Adams really wanted to say: Even if you delay today, you’ll still face this kind of pressure later on…

If that’s the case, then why refuse to give her a definite answer? Is it really that difficult to give her a clear answer?

Or maybe Alberta Arthur simply has no intention of spending the rest of his life with her? That’s why he keeps putting things off again and again.

She had no choice but to think like that. The more she thought about it, the more disappointed she became.

And then, at that very moment, the fan who had eagerly asked during the celebration party whether the two of them were about to get married suddenly rushed in.

“Why don’t you answer my Xue Mei? Do you really not intend to take responsibility for her at all?” This somewhat crazy fan demanded angrily from Alberta Arthur.

Katie Adams felt uneasy seeing how crazy this fan was. Instinctively, she pulled Alberta Arthur behind her.

“It’s not what you think. We just haven’t decided on a date yet. You…” Katie Adams gently tried to calm down the emotionally upset fan.

However, this excited fan didn’t pay any attention to what Katie Adams said at all.

He looked around, eventually fixing his gaze on Simone Milton, who was not far away, getting ready to go on a date with Nick Arthur.

“I know. It must be that woman who seduced you, which is why you don’t want to take responsibility for Xue Mei, right?” The fan, who was extremely paranoid, said this with bloodshot eyes.

“What do you think you’re doing? Please don’t do anything reckless. This is a matter between me and Katie Adams. No one else needs to get involved,” said Alberta Arthur. She immediately shouted at her bodyguard, “Where’s the security? Bring this person away right now!”

The security guards hadn’t arrived yet, but this crazy fan already rushed toward Simone Milton. His behavior was utterly insane and disgusting.

What was most terrifying was that this crazy fan actually pulled a knife from his pocket, seemingly ready to stab Simone Milton.

Nick Arthur noticed the crisis and immediately protected Simone Milton, blocking a blow meant for her and sustaining a cut to his arm in the process.

“Mr. Arthur, are you alright?” Simone Milton was extremely worried as she saw Nick Arthur, who was injured.

She grabbed Nick Arthur and tried to run towards the car. But that crazy fan, who had already injured someone, slammed the car door shut and rushed at Simone Milton with a knife again.

Albert Arthur, whose heart had been stirred just now, also rushed over immediately upon seeing this situation.

Who knew that when Alberta Arthur rushed over to help, it only made the fan even angrier. He kept shouting insults, calling Alberta Arthur heartless, and then scratched Simone Milton’s face even harder.

Simone Milton couldn’t dodge in time, so she could only cover herself with her hands. The expected pain never came.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw that Alberta Arthur was struggling to hold the blade, with sweat beads covering his forehead.

“You…” Seeing Alberta Arthur like this, Simone Milton was momentarily moved.

“Stop thinking about me or us. Just take my uncle away from here…” Alberta Arthur said, pushing the crazy fan away forcefully.

At that point, Nick Arthur’s driver and the security personnel nearby finally arrived and subdued the crazy fan.

“Thank you,” Simone Milton said to Alberta Arthur. Then, turning to the driver, she added, “Hurry! Take Mr. Arthur to the hospital immediately. He’s injured in his arm and needs to be treated right away.”

After saying that, he and the driver helped Nick Arthur get into the car, and they left the place as quickly as possible.

Albert Arthur watched as Simone Milton left without a backward glance, feeling a pang of sadness in his heart. His hands involuntarily twitched, causing real pain.

Katie Adams, who had watched all this happen, adjusted her expression and stepped forward, anxiously gripping Alberta Arthur’s hand.

“Let’s go to the hospital quickly. That’s such a dangerous situation. How could you just rush in like that? What am I supposed to do if something happens to you?” Katie Adams stared at Alberta Arthur with tearful eyes. It was heartbreaking to watch.

“I… I’m sorry!” Alberta Arthur didn’t know how to explain her actions, so all she could say was a weak, powerless “I’m sorry”.

“I don’t need you, I’m sorry. All I want is for you to be safe and sound! How can you put yourself in danger just for some stranger? Your actions really worry me!” Katie Adams completely broke down, constantly questioning Alberta Arthur.

No one knows how much it hurt her heart when she saw Alberta Arthur and without hesitation rushed to block the sword for Simone Milton.

Katie Adams’s devastated state made Alberta Arthur sigh. He slowly embraced her and said, “I’m truly sorry… but…”

Albert Arthur hadn’t finished speaking yet. The reporters, who hadn’t left the scene either, rushed over to hear what Albert Arthur had to say and to ask about his feelings at that moment.

“Albert Arthur, could you share with us how you’re feeling right now?”

“Albert Arthur, when you were bravely trying to save people, did you feel panicked at all?”

The reporters who gathered around kept asking Alberta Arthur questions of all kinds. Some even questioned whether Alberta Arthur went to save her out of lingering feelings for Simone Milton.

Standing nearby, Katie Adams frowned and exclaimed after hearing what the reporters said:

“Ladies and gentlemen, please remain calm. Alberta has injured his hand. We need to take him to get his wound treated… Once that’s done, we’ll give you a response.”

Such polite words failed to stir the journalists’ consciences. Upon hearing that Alberta Arthur was injured, the journalists became even more eager and asked even more pointed questions.

In the end, it was Alberta Arthur’s agent who received the message and rushed to the scene, eventually rescuing Alberta Arthur from that place.

But Katie Adams, by taking one step too slowly, once again found herself trapped among the reporters.

Having broken free from the circle of reporters, Alberta Arthur glanced at Katie Adams, who was left behind, and couldn’t help but frown.

“Why don’t we go back and save Katie Adams?” Alberta Arthur said to her agent.

“Katie Adams has her own agent. Her agent will take care of these matters for her. You don’t need to worry about anything. Go and take care of your injuries first!” Alberta Arthur’s agent frowned and spoke slowly.

Albert Arthur wanted to say something else, but seeing the displeased expression on his agent’s face, he decided to keep his thoughts to himself.

He certainly didn’t dare to anger his agent at this time, so he had no choice but to go along with what the agent wanted.

Albert Arthur, who was sitting in the ambulance on his way to the hospital to have his wounds dressed, glanced around absentmindedly.

He remembered how Simone Milton had rushed away with Nick Arthur in such a hurry—that kind of urgency was something he had never seen before.

It made his heart ache a little… After all, he was the one who arrived there first…

Although that’s what he thought in his mind, Alberta Arthur didn’t dare to express it aloud.

It was at that moment that Alberta Arthur’s agent suddenly spoke up. He asked Alberta Arthur, “Tell me honestly, are you still thinking about Simone Milton?”

Albert Arthur, caught off guard by this sudden question, immediately became nervous. “What are you talking about? I don’t understand… How could I possibly still think about her? I used to hate her the most…”

By the end, his tone was full of guilt, because he knew he wasn’t that disgusted with Simone Milton after all.

At least, he didn’t dislike the brilliant Simone Milton at all.

Hearing Alberta Arthur say that, Alberta Arthur’s agent glanced at him thoughtfully. After a long while, the agent spoke up, “If that’s what you really think, then nothing could be better!”

“In short, you now have a girlfriend, and she also has her own lover. It’s best if you never cross paths again,” said Alberta Arthur’s agent slowly.

“Yes, we’ll never meet again… No matter how much I wish otherwise…” Alberta Arthur muttered to herself, feeling increasingly unwilling to accept this reality.

He arrived there first. Why should Nick Arthur get such a huge advantage?

“What did you say?” Alberta Arthur’s agent couldn’t hear clearly what Alberta Arthur had said earlier, so he asked for a repeat.

Albert Arthur didn’t answer.

“I’m telling you, in this situation, it’s possible that someone might try to link you to Simone Milton. You need to be very careful and clarify things as soon as possible. Also, ask Katie Adams to cooperate with you.” After saying that, Alberta Arthur’s
