Dorian Howards looked helplessly at the woman in front of him. She cared about everyone else’s affairs so much. When would she ever direct that concern towards him? He’d be eternally grateful if she did.
"Grace Yowell’s ten fingers are all fractured, and her arm is badly scalded." Dorian revealed Grace Yowell’s injuries. After all, the reason behind Grace Yowell’s injuries was something he was fully aware of. "Previously, Grace’s arm was scalded by coffee, and it was said that she might have scars. Now, it’s almost impossible for her not to have them."
Alice Conley could almost imagine Grace Yowell’s miserable state. "So, was she really injured because of the fans’ revenge?" she asked again.
Dorian smiled slightly. "What do you think? A woman who dared to act against Mabel Quinn, would Kyle Kinston really let her off so easily?"
Alice widened her eyes and even left her mouth slightly agape. Although Dorian didn’t spell it out, Alice wasn’t a fool. She could understand with a little thought.
The CEO is indeed mighty! At this moment, Alice felt no sympathy for Grace Yowell at all. One must know that Grace had stirred up fans against Mabel, and if it weren’t for Kyle Kinston’s protection, it would have been Mabel lying in the hospital now.
"Mabel is so lucky to have a boyfriend like Kyle Kinston," Alice commented enviously.
Dorian raised an eyebrow, his face darkened, "Why, do you like someone like Kyle?"
"Who wouldn’t like such a guy? Tall, handsome, rich, powerful, and willing to protect his girlfriend and stand up for her... Wow, he’s simply the best male lead in those idol dramas!" Alice said, with a face that seemed almost drooling.
Dorian was speechless. Her expression was practically drooling. "Such men are not just limited to Kyle!" Even though he knew she was just saying it, he couldn’t help feeling a pang of jealousy, "Don’t forget there’s one standing right in front of you!" he intentionally reminded her.
Only then did she realize what he meant. Alice gave a couple of dry laughs, "Then you keep busy, I’ll head out first." After all, she’d gotten clear answers to what she wanted to know, so it was best to make a quick exit now.
But before her hand could reach the doorknob, he pulled her back, "Just going like that? Alice Conley, you’re quite loyal, running to me for your friend’s sake. When are you going to show some loyalty to me?"
"You don’t need my loyalty!" she replied.
"Who says I don’t need it!" He changed his grip to her waist, pulling her into his embrace. "I need it more than anyone. If there’s a day someone means harm to me, would you be loyal to me?"
His breath instantly enveloped her, and she felt her heart beating uncontrollably fast.
No, I can’t do this. I can’t be charmed by the person in front of me! Alice told herself desperately, because if she allowed herself to be swayed now, the future could bring unbearable pain to both of them.
Sometimes it’s not that you don’t love but rather still love, which leads to suffering.
Grace Yowell now was like a rat crossing the street, shunned by everyone. Not only was she banned from the entertainment industry, but even her fans turned against her. Her original fans either abandoned her or switched to being her detractors, denouncing her online. As a result, Grace didn’t dare to look at the online comments or news about her at all during this period.
Why, why did it come to this! She had painstakingly built up her success over ten years, finally climbing to the status of a popular star, gathering fans, and making herself appear so glamorous. Yet overnight, all of it vanished into thin air.
