Chapter 1440 - 1435: As If Giving Her His Heart
Chloe Winston opened the box of happiness cakes and found only four pieces inside, in pink, green, white, and black, shaped like small three-dimensional zodiac figures such as rabbits and monkeys. They were so cute that she couldn’t bear to eat them just by looking.
Chloe closed the box, really thinking they were sent by Constantine Stewart for Richard Shaw. Unable to decline, she handed them to her assistant, Autumn, and said blandly, "Help me congratulate Vice Admiral Shaw."
Constantine Stewart smiled genteelly and said lightly, "The wedding date is yet to be set. Once it is, I’ll inform you."
Seeing that today’s purpose was achieved, the man not only came personally to support Chloe but also brought Shaw Family’s happiness cakes, creating a show of force. Now, there shouldn’t be anyone blind enough to bully his little girl in this crew.
"Do you still like calla lilies?" The man handed her the blue doll he was holding, his heart slightly stirred. The blue male doll seemed like he was giving her a piece of his heart. He was offering himself to her.
"Thank you." Chloe knew the calla lilies were from him, so she lowered her eyes and looked away, her brow and eyes cold, her tone flat.
The smile at the man’s mouth pulled back discreetly, retreating to a safe distance. He said to Faust and the producer nearby, "I have matters to attend to. I’ll be heading back first. Please take care of Chloe."
Faust and the producer felt all smiles, nodding incessantly, watching Constantine Stewart leave with his assistant, only to then relax their stiff faces.
The big shot personally came to support Chloe; how could they dare not take care of her?
The news of Constantine Stewart visiting the crew quickly spread, and people began to look at Chloe differently. Previously, they only thought of her as a popular little flower, publicly acknowledged as the girlfriend of the film star Charles Taylor, who rose to fame through variety shows with him. Now, their faces were feeling the sting.
Whether it was Mr. Stewart personally visiting or Vice Admiral Shaw sending Chloe happiness cakes, everything indicated this was formidable protection.
People no longer felt envy, jealousy, or hatred because they understood they weren’t even on the same level. It was better to maintain good relations; maybe they’d successfully latch onto an influential family circle in the future?
Thus Chloe found that everyone in the crew was exceptionally warm towards her.
The news of Constantine Stewart’s visit soon spread online, kicked off along with the crew’s opening ceremony, generating some buzz.
Spectators tagged Lorelai Ainsley mockingly: "Goddess of first love, did you know your boyfriend visited the crew?"
"Mr. Stewart went to the crew in a wheelchair to visit Chloe; can you imagine Lorelai’s inner turmoil?"
"Has Lorelai not been hit in the face enough, constantly portraying herself as a socialite, attending various events in France, yet Mr. Stewart returned to the country without bringing her along?"
"Battle against the strongest pretender of the year."
"It was Mr. Stewart’s first visit to the crew; could old feelings between Mr. Stewart and Chloe reignite?"
The previously dormant ’Warm Winter’ couple fans reignited, crying out to make a comeback in the Rivers and Lakes.
Fans who originally didn’t support the Chloe and Charles couple were stimulated by ’Warm Winter’ and Constantine Stewart’s flamboyant moves, stepping out to express their support for Charles Taylor.
Thus, online debates about who was most qualified to be Chloe’s boyfriend started anew.
Everyone watched the fans’ arguments, feeling bewildered. Shouldn’t they be criticizing Constantine Stewart for digging a wall? Have their moral standards been devoured by dogs? What’s stranger is that Chloe, in the center of the rumors, didn’t attract any negativity; instead, she gained renewed popularity, appearing in the public eye thanks to the filming and visiting events.
Lorelai Ainsley was still in France attending a brand’s celebration banquet, getting her makeup done when her agent, Brother Yu, came in with a somber face, holding his phone. He said, "Lorelai, Mr. Stewart is back in the country."
Lorelai’s complexion slightly changed. She asked the makeup artist to leave and looked at her bright, delicate face in the mirror, which twisted slightly. No wonder in the past few days, Count Thompson’s wife’s attitude towards her was very subtle, not as warm as before. It turns out Constantine Stewart returned to the country, and as his girlfriend, she was utterly unaware.
During this time, Lorelai had followed Count Thompson’s wife into upper society, enjoying conveniences brought by power and status, living in the limelight. She thought herself a genuine French socialite, reluctant to return to her former self.
"I still want to stay in France for a while."
"Chloe has resumed filming, Mr. Stewart visited and this is trending like wildfire online. We must return to the country immediately, or even Count Thompson’s wife can’t hold it down." Brother Yu analyzed the situation.
