He couldn’t help but say softly, with a smile in his eyes.
Gloria saw his smile and followed suit, rubbing her head awkwardly.
Her interactions with this actor seemed to be getting more familiar.
During a free moment, she called Eleanor Hollis to report the situation here.
Upon hearing her excited tone, Eleanor couldn’t help but rub her brow. Being so happy serving as an assistant, if she continued at Grandeur, she would surely rise to a high position eventually. Although it would take time, a high place in Grandeur is much more promising than any celebrity assistant role.
Indeed, a charming man is trouble.
"Gloria, you should reconsider. It’s still not too late to come back."
Gloria waved her hand, her face full of smiles.
"No need, no need. I’m quite happy here. Eleanor, you continue with your work. Julian Sterling is about to start filming, I need to be watching beside him."
Eleanor wanted to say something else but found that the other party had already hung up the phone.
She felt even more uncomfortable. Why couldn’t she move when she saw a man? Really degrading herself.
Regardless of her complaints, Gloria seemed to be doing quite well as a celebrity assistant.
The phone rang again, and Eleanor thought the person regretted it. Without looking at the caller ID, she pressed the answer button and said.
"You should just come back. There are lots of men in this world. Don’t let a man affect your career."
But there was no sound from the other side. She picked it up to look and found it wasn’t Gloria’s number.
Anna Hollis said softly, her voice hoarse.
"Did you see the news online? Everyone is saying you made me lose a child. Actually, both you and I know why that child was lost. I believe if you endured till now, you must be confidently prepared to deal with me. I’m already tired."
She paused, just about to say what was next, but a plate was flung hard toward her head.
Alice Lynch glared at her, frustrated beyond belief, and walked over to seize her phone.
"Hang up! What are you saying to her? Anna, you’re really stupid. Right now, everyone is on your side. You just need to step out and play the victim; a bunch of people will seek justice for you, and at that moment Eleanor Hollis will never rise again!!"
Anna was pushed to the floor, her forehead striking the corner of the table and leaving a trace of blood.
She quietly looked at this person, tightened her lips, weak and saying nothing.
Alice, seeing the blood on Anna’s forehead, felt a bit of regret but was uncomfortable since this child was about to admit defeat to Eleanor Hollis.
The child she raised wasn’t supposed to lose to that bitch!
Back then she defeated Rachel Lynch, now she will teach her daughter to defeat Eleanor Hollis!
Anna tightly grasped her hand; she’s truly tired with no desire to fight anymore. Won’t this person let her pass a peaceful life?
Since the phone wasn’t disconnected, Eleanor could clearly hear the argument between the two. Now she was very sure that the online incident was related to Alice Lynch.
"Mom, I’m begging you, give up. Stop fighting, look at my situation, isn’t it enough? I want to live a normal life, even if it’s just for one day. Can we stop this?"
She pleaded, kneeling on the ground without standing up.
Alice’s gaze grew colder and colder, finally raising her hand to slap her.
"You truly disappoint me! Anna, take a good look; how did this villa come? I fought for it. Without me, you’d have nowhere to live now! If you don’t want to continue, then get out and never come back!!"
Anna’s heart twinged. She looked at this person’s indifferent face and thought of William Walsh’s coldness toward her, pulling her lip slightly. Indeed, no one in this world loves her.
She got up without staying, slowly opened the living room door.
"Out and never come back!!"
Alice shouted behind her, eyes bloodshot, wishing to rush to strangle the other!
Anna’s body paused slightly but still stepped out.
"Not coming back means not coming back. I haven’t wanted to tolerate you for ages. You only ever think of yourself, and passing on the wrong values to me caused my current situation. If birth could be chosen, I really wouldn’t want to be your daughter."
She said each word firmly, tears slowly falling.
Alice laughed angrily that she had it easy? Raising this daughter took so much effort; she always wanted to shape her into a shining young lady, yet now the other is blaming her.
"Should’ve strangled you early on! Would’ve been easier, maybe I’d be better off now!!"
She couldn’t help but yell, then forcefully shut the living room door.
Anna’s body froze; indeed, there was no one in this world who loves her.
Previously she believed Nicholas Hollis loved her, but after Eleanor Hollis returned, she completely revealed her false façade.
She thought William loved her, hence she risked being scolded by Alice, and had relations with him. In the end, that man now started feeling sorry for other women.
Anna, after leaving here, walked aimlessly along the street, even hoping for a sudden thunder from the sky to strike her dead.
Thinking of the news online, she quickly registered an account and explained the course of events regarding the child.
Initially, everyone was angrily condemning Eleanor Hollis, but now seeing Anna herself stand up to talk about it, and even presenting the original report, everyone shut up.
Although a small part questioned the authenticity of the report, soon enough someone from the hospital stepped forward to confirm that Anna indeed underwent an examination there, and their suggestion was to remove the child as it was destined not to survive.
While some netizens continued conspiracy theories, at least most people began to believe Eleanor Hollis was innocent.
Eleanor looking at Anna’s account fell into deep thought.
Has that person truly changed heart?
During the fierce argument with Alice Lynch, according to Alice’s character, she’d certainly kick her out. Dıscover more novels at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝙣𝙚𝙩
Anna had always lived the life of a wealthy young lady, now being kicked out, would she truly not regret it?
Alice thought the same; she believed her precious daughter would surely come back quickly, so she waited at home.
Yet until evening, Anna didn’t return, not even making a single call.
