Translator: 549690339??????? &โ
Alright, this has nothing to do with you, you should go first,โ
Harrison Clark said to Lucy Haywood with a stern tone. freewe(b)novel
Lucy was just a minor character compared to him, and he didnโt want to drag her into this mess.
As a mere university student, she probably couldnโt withstand the wrath of Eric Mitchell.
No way! I canโt just stand by and watch my idol get slandered like this.โ Harrisonโs protection only emboldened Lucy, who stepped forward and said, โI am Lucy Haywood, a junior in the vocal department at the Milton Music Academy! Iโm just a small server. Compared to all you important people, my opinions donโt matter much. But I canโt stand by and watch you fabricate the truth here!โ
Eric Mitchell said coldly, โVery well, Iโll remember you. But youโd better find out who I am, so you know who would be a better choice to fawn over.โ โBah! Who wants to fawn over you? I donโt care who you are! Iโm not trying to fawn over anyoneโฆ Oh wait, I do want to fawn over Mr. Harrison Clark. I wish he would take advantage of me!โ
Eric was momentarily stunned, then couldnโt help but laugh, โAre you here to make us laugh, little girl?โ
Harrison Clark covered his forehead with one hand, beginning to feel a headache coming on.
The other guestsโ expressions turned strange. Was this girl, Lucy Haywood, really here to help clarify things for Harrison and Carrie Thomas?
Why did she seem like a liability?
โThe reason Iโm willing to vouch for Mr. Harrison Clarkโs integrity is that I couldnโt get close to him! I was so forward, but he didnโt take the bait!โ Lucy stood with her hands on her hips, exclaiming while casting resentful eyes at Harrison.
Eric waved his hand, turning his attention to someone else, โLucia, Iโm sorry for this little scene at your birthday party. However, this girl seems a bit off. I canโt understand what sheโs getting at. Maybe we should kick them all out?โ Indeed, Lucyโs logic was a little chaotic. It seemed like she was on Harrisonโs side, but her words were utterly bewildering, sounding a bit like a lunatic.
But Avril Green didnโt listen to Ericโs instigation. She made a downward motion with her hand for the event manager to calm down and asked, โIt seems that you knew Mr. Clark before? Iโd like to hear how this all came about.โ Finally addressed by Avril, Lucy felt both excited and nervous, and her momentum weakened slightly. She stammered, โA few days ago, Mr. Clark came to our school to find someone to help him with a demo for a song. He happened to meet me. I was so excited when I heard that he was the producer of โBoring.'โ
โThe demo? The one you plan to sell to Jenny Hart?โ Avril asked Harrison curiously.
Harrison nodded, โYes, it was already recorded, and the contract was signed several days ago.โ
โNo wonder Jenny initially had no time today but decided to come personally when she heard you were coming,โ Avril said with sudden understanding. Speak of the devil, Jenny Hartโs voice came from the crowd behind them.
โHey, what are you all doing here, gathered in such a large group?โ
Avril laughed, โThe main character is here. Letโs sum it up: Lucy, are you a crazy fan of Harrison Clark?โ
Lucy nodded, โAbsolutely!โ
โSo much so that you threw yourself at him?โ
โWho wouldnโt want to! I felt it; I had been single for twenty years, just waiting for him! From the moment I saw him, I wanted to have a babyโฆ with him!โ Everyone couldnโt help but burst into laughter.
Whatโs the most precious thing in the 21st century? Talent!
This girl really was a talented character!
Though she looked bright, her train of thought was quite unconventional. Perhaps she had been hit on the head as a child?
Interestingly, Avril didnโt laugh, probably because she had met all sorts of strange people before.
She just asked, โBut he rejected you?โ
โYes, he rejected me so cruelly.โ
โSo you firmly believe that Harrison Clark and Carrie Thomas have nothing going on?โ
Of course, I believe that given their characters, if there was something between them, they would have been upfront about it. If they said thereโs nothing, then there must be nothing!โ
Avril fell into a moment of thought.
After a while, she finally said, โThe only one who can prove the truth of what youโre saying is Jenny. Listen to her speaking, is she the one who sang the demo?โ
Jenny was slowly beginning to grasp the situation, but she couldnโt be certain just yet, โThereโs still some difference between someone singing and speaking. I canโt say for sure.โ
Lucy anxiously said, โMr. Hart, can I sing a few lines for you?โ Jenny nodded, โSure, weโve already registered copyright protection, and weโll be releasing a single for promotion next month. You can just sing the first two lines.โ
As soon as Lucy finished singing, the eyes of several professionals in attendance lit up.
This rare and exquisite contralto voice-she truly was a talent!
โItโs definitely her, no doubt about it!โ
Jenny Hart delivered the final verdict.Meanwhile, Eric Mitchell, standing at the side, was utterly confused. The situation didnโt develop in the way he expected Neither Harrison Clark nor Carrie Thomas said anything, but it seemed like the crisis looming over the coupleโs heads had been dispelled?
No, you still canโt explain why you two are living together!โ
Carrie Thomas coldly retorted, โWhy do we need to explain? Whatโs wrong with living together? Havenโt you ever shared a rental beforeโฆโ
Harrison Clark coughed and interrupted Carrie, โEric comes from a wealthy background, so heโs never shared a rent before.โ
Carrie gave him a sidelong glance.
Could he be any more brutally honest?
Luckily, Jenny Hart spoke up at this moment, โBy the way, friends, you may know that I recently took on a spokesperson job for Chesterton Apartment in Oxfordshire, right?โ
A few people nodded.
โIโm afraid nobody knows that Mr. Clark, besides his songwriting career, previously worked as an employee of Chesterton Apartment. He was responsible for the very residential area where he and Carrie live. Am I right?โ Jennyโs question was directed at Harrison.
Harrison knew she was providing him with an easy way out based on the truth โYes.โ
โI wonโt advertise here, but Chesterton Apartment does provide staff accommodation. Iโve visited the company before, and the room Carrie and Harrison share is in the same suite, but separated by different floors. Harrisonโs is the company provided accommodation, while Carrie is a renter who moved in on her own. Itโs a mere coincidence, right?โ
โYes.โ ๐ป๐โฏโฏ๐โฏ๐ท๐๐ฐ๐ทโฏ๐ญ.๐ค๐ฐ๐ฎ
At this point, everyone seemed enlightened. Ericโs previous attacks were quickly neutralized by Jenny, the key figure who played both offense and defense.
Harrison felt relieved and silently praised Jenny for her sharpness.
However, Carrie was becoming impatient at this point, โAlright, I shouldnโt have attended this high-society gathering. Itโs BORING. Do whatever you want; Iโm going home to sleep.โ
As she finished, she really intended to leave, as her patience had been worn down to the limit.
But she abruptly stopped and pointed at Eric, โThe impure will always be impure, the pure will always be pure. Eric Mitchell, no matter what you say or how you want the reporters to write, I donโt care how you want to smear me, even if you want to tarnish me as a loose woman. Moreover, whatโs the problem if Harrison and I are living together and dating?โ
โAll I want to do is sing; all I care about is singing. As long as my songs are good and I donโt break the law or commit any crimes, what do I have to fear? Eric, I can tell you outright-if you truly have the ability, find someone to kill me, run me over! I said I wonโt be with you; Iโd rather die than be with you!โ โYouโre a fucking animal led by your crotch, walking around with your dick on your head proudly on display. Do you have any shame? Does your prominent family in Oxfordshire have any shame? Is there any justice under the bright sun and sky?โ
โCome on!โ She blatantly spread her legs and assumed a horse stance.
She pointed to her lower abdomen, โEric, you shameless dog, you want to sleep with me, right? Take out your ugly thing right now; Iโll let you have a good time in front of everyone! Do you dare?โ
Carrieโs words tore up the last semblance of civility.
Although many people present knew what kind of person Eric was, no one had expected that Carrie would so boldly and publicly expose Ericโs malicious heart and lay it open for everyone to see and judge.
She really dared to swear at Eric like that!
She was really going all out.
Harrison, too, was shocked, his mouth agape.
Carrie, you are truly fearless!
Eric was dumbstruck.
Avril Green covered her mouth slightly, her eyes filled with surprise as she looked at Carrie.
She stepped forward and grabbed Carrieโs hand, โYouโre my guest tonight; I canโt let you leave like this. Calm down, the matter has been cleared up, and Eric wouldnโt dare let the media write anything false. Right?โ
Avrilโs latter words carried a hint of threat.
Carrie shook off Avrilโs hand and said impatiently, โYou only now remember that weโre also guests?โฆ Forget it.โ
In fact, Carrie had been somewhat annoyed for a while but hadnโt lost her temper.
Now that she had let off some steam and remembered that she needed help, she held back a little more.
Avril apologized repeatedly, โItโs my fault, but I just wanted to clear things up and maintain your and Harrisonโs reputation. Am I right?โ
Carrie forced a grim smile, โWhatโs the big deal about a reputation? Even if it wasnโt clear, so what? Itโs just that Iโm a believer in singlehood; otherwise, a good man like Harrison should be tied down and taken home for a normalโlife.โ Harrison pointed at his nose, dumbfounded, โAm Iโฆ am I that good?โ At this moment, Eric was now completely left out of the conversation.
He wanted to say something, but he couldnโt open his mouth.
Avril glanced at him from the corner of her eyes, squinting slightly, โYoung Master Eric, I didnโt host you well tonight, and I didnโt know about your issues beforehand. Iโll host a private dinner party for you in the future, apologizing for my mistake, alright?โ
Eric couldnโt believe his ears.
She was actually kicking me out!
