The two were slightly awkward, not expecting to run into each other in such a narrow path.
But on second thought, it’s not surprising, given how small Oxfordshire is.
Although Eric Mitchell is unbearable, one cannot deny that he is born into a wealthy family with good fortune.
Avril Green’s birthday party is quite grand, treated as a large social gathering, so it’s not unusual that she invites the younger generation of the Mitchell family, who have operated many entertainment businesses in Oxfordshire.
Before, Avril didn’t know about the deep conflict between Harrison Clark, Carrie Thomas, and Eric Mitchell. If she had known, she might have chosen to arrange a more private occasion to help Leah Clark and Harrison connect.
At this moment, Eric was standing under a pavilion, talking leisurely with a
few acquaintances.
Eric had his arm around a stylish and glamorous woman.
This woman is a rising internet celebrity host on a well-known domestic live streaming platform, known for her innocent appearance. With the addition of a sound card, her singing is quite good, and she is good at acting and interacting during her live stream, gaining a large following recently, with millions of fans.
It didn’t take much effort for Eric to get her, making her his “girlfriend” for the
time being.
At this time, the female host was quite attuned to the situation, leaning against Eric like a little bird, giving him a great sense of pride.
Even though she knew she could only be his temporary girlfriend and might only stay by his side for three months at most, she still tried hard to play the role of a lover.
“Eric, you look in high spirits. It seems that good things have happened,” someone said.
“Yeah, Eric’s recent investment in two IMAX Cinemas in the High-tech Zone is growing phenomenally. It was difficult to get a ticket for the Iron Man 3 screening a few days ago. Eric must have made a lot of money,” another chimed in.
“Oh? Director Tang also watched Iron Man?”
“My daughter took her classmates to watch it. I don’t understand young people’s trends. It’s the young and promising Eric who keeps up with the times and knows more about the young generation. Miss Lily is a popular artist among young people. If it weren’t for Eric being of the same age, we couldn’t really understand or envy what today’s youth are into.”
“Director Tang, you’re too bad! Brother, he’s bullying me!” A shy and innocent expression appeared on the host Lily’s face.
Eric laughed heartily, “Ignore him, he’s just being envious.”
He looked quite pleased. novelbuddy(.)com
Having been sullen with Carrie Thomas before, he found satisfaction in the presence of Lily.
There was also another reason for his delight.
The entire upper-circle in Oxfordshire knew that Eric enjoyed playing around, and Avril actually disliked him.
But she still had no choice but to invite him to her birthday party.
Lily’s cooperation in bed is based on Eric’s wealth and connections within the entertainment circle. Bringing her to Avril’s birthday party would make this cunning beauty cooperate more, and be more unrestrained.
At this moment, from the corner of Eric’s eye, he caught a glimpse of the entrance to Homey Rose.
The teasing expression on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by gloominess.
Eric took out his phone, didn’t unlock it, but glanced at it; he was seven parts startled and three parts suddenly realized.
“What’s wrong, Eric?”
Others noticed that he was not in the right state of mind and asked.
Eric waved his hand, putting his arm around Lily and walking forward,
“Nothing, just met two acquaintances. I’m going to say hello.” 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘦𝑏𝑛𝑜𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸𝑜𝘮
As he walked, he gently rubbed his right cheek with his hand, the corners of his mouth curved, revealing a bit of his teeth, his smile somewhat hideous.
Even though many days had passed, the moment he recognized Carrie Thomas, he still felt a burning sensation on the cheek he had been slapped. Considering Eric’s status, if his father didn’t hit him, no one else in this world would dare to.
That’s why his memory of Carrie Thomas was so profound.
“Eric, she hit the left cheek with the right hand at that time,” a man quietly approached by Eric’s side, a confidant who knew him well, kindly reminded.
“Get lost!”
On this side, the scene being approached by Eric, Harrison Clark and Carrie Thomas didn’t try to avoid him, as there was nothing to hide.
■■Miss Thomas, long time no see,” Eric said with a fake smile, “There’s a saying that goes, ‘a man is to be looked at anew after three days of no contact’. I didn’t quite believe this saying before, but now it seems that I was really short-sighted. I should have tried a different way to pursue you. You would have been even more cooperative with me, right?
Eric, with Lily still in his arms, had no reservations, speaking teasingly. Those who were chatting with Eric before, both insiders and outsiders, followed this group of young people with great interest, looking back and forth.
It seemed that there was a story between these young people and Eric.
And the story didn’t seem too pleasant.
Carrie Thomas didn’t want to talk with Eric and remained silent. It was Harrison Clark who couldn’t help replying, “Who are you? Do we know you?”
Eric’s arrogance was instantly halted.
Obviously, he was caught off guard by Harrison’s retort.
If it came to verbal skills, Eric, who comes from a privileged background, really couldn’t compete with someone like Harrison, who has been struggling in the lower class since he was a child.
But today, Eric is confident in holding the handle and came prepared. He quickly regains his composure, sneering, “Pretty good, they say the noble ones are forgetful. Although you two are not noble, but you’re quite forgetful. What? Miss Thomas, now that you’re popular, you’ve forgotten the man who sent you flowers and offered financial support at the bar?
“Don’t say it in such an unpleasant way. What do you mean, ‘golden pig, silver pig’? People don’t want to be pigs. Carrie is a good singer and has made a living off her skills. She didn’t steal, rob or sell herself, so there’s really nothing shameful about her, unlike some people who no one would pay attention to if it weren’t for their wealthy father,” Harrison knew that Carrie always considered her time singing in nightclubs as a stain on her reputation, so he couldn’t let Eric continue to be rude.
She’s my partner, and I’ve got to protect her.
“Heh, I thought you were a more noble and aloof person. So you’re just like this after all? I was puzzled why you would go with such a nobody like Harrison. Now I understand that your plan was like this.”
Eric decided not to give Harrison another chance to show off his verbal skills, and instead planned on exposing the “disgusting couple” on the spot.
“How did you suddenly become a bar singer from a nobody in less than a month? Well, your song is good, it’s just written by Harrison, right? But you dare to say your means of getting that song were clean?”
■■Even if I was willing to reject others, I really thought you were pure and innocent, but it turns out not to be the case. As a matter of fact, the two of you have been living together! You’re no different. Weren’t you willing to do anything to be famous?”
As he spoke, Eric noticed the awkward expression on Lily’s face and added, “There’S nothing wrong with a person not being choosy to achieve something. But you know what kind of person I can’t stand the most? The kind who, having become a prostitute, still wants to be chaste! And what about you, Harrison? What qualifications do you have to mock me? What’s the difference between you and me?”
“Don’t pretend to be virtuous and act like a talented scholar. Aren’t you also a human scum who tricks people into bed with your songs? The only difference between us is that I use money and power, and you use the songs you write.
That’s all.”
Having said that, Eric looked at the two with a cold smile.
He was waiting for the two to make an excuse, then he could take out his phone and show them the photos that could serve as evidence.
Then, Carrie Thomas would be completely finished..
