Actually, even if he didnāt run into them today, Eric Mitchell would have made some arrangements.
But itās more straightforward to deal with them face-to-face than to plot secretly in the dark.
For someone of Ericās status, going against a newly popular little singer appeared underhanded.
But he didnāt care.
Thatās the kind of person he was.
No reason was needed, as long as he pleased himself.
He looked forward to their defenses, and then their horrified expressions when
he exposed them.
It must be quite amusing.
Harrison Clark was indeed countered.
Even with his sharp tongue, he felt a bit powerless to fight back.
The main issue was not only about him, but also involved Carrie Thomas.
He didnāt care, he could disregard his reputation.
But as a new female artist, Carrie Thomas was in the rising period of her
career, she should always be wary.
In some sense, the two really were living together.
It was a fact, as undeniable as mud sticking to their pants.
Eric, having openly said so in public, must have come prepared, determined to tarnish Carrieās shining star.
This was his plan, unavoidable and unrefutable.
Without waiting for Harrisonās defense, Eric saw the two of them struck dumb.
Eric was pleased, very nice, the effect was better than expected.
But he didnāt intend to stop there, instead he took out his phone, opened the album, and started to show some pictures.
The photos spanned an extended period of time, from the scene of Harrison and Carrie Thomas leaving the house, to their entrance into the apartment building, and then shopping together at a mall in the afternoon.
After failing to target Carrie Thomas through Spotify Top, and failing to lure her into his agency, Eric realized that he couldnāt have Carrie and started doing these things.
With his wealth and influence, destroying a newcomer was simply too easy.
Gotcha.
Eric, while enjoying his triumph, pointed at his phone and said, āI heard you claiming to be single on a phone interview the other day? Excuse me for being blunt, but such kind of singlehood is unheard of.ā
Unnoticed, the hostess of the party, Avril Green, had appeared nearby at some point.
Avril was looking at Harrison with a puzzled gaze.
She was confused. Wasnāt Harrison interested in the same sex? Why did he move in with his co-worker just as his artistic career was taking off?
Everything that puzzled Avril before suddenly found its explanation. No wonder he turned down Leah Clarkās offer of $200,000 and chose to sell āBoringā to the penniless Carrie Thomas.
While itās true that Carrie was the right choice for the song, and Avril did believe that Harrison had a far-sighted vision, it turned out to be just a coincidence.
Harrison played both sides, he seduced Carrie first, then gifted her the song.
Avril was inexplicably infuriated.
She was upset about two things.
Harrison disappointed her, and made her misjudge him.
She had thought him different, not knowing he was no better than Eric. What angered her more was that Harrison shouldnāt have messed with Carrie. From just listening to one song by Carrie, Avril felt that she was a promising and talented newcomer.
But Harrison exposed her prematurely to the dark side of the entertainment industry.
This would fundamentally change her mentality, and eventually prevent her from reaching the heights she should have.
āSo thatās what kind of person Harrison is,ā Leah Clark, who had been silently observing from Avrilās side, spoke regretfully, āItās not surprising, though. The prodigies from Hong Kong, every single one of them, had messy private lives. Itās normal for someone as young as Harrison to be a bit impulsive.ā
āWhat a mess! Letās leave,ā Avril turned to leave.
She even regretted inviting the two.
Just as she was about to leave, Carrie, who hadnāt been bothered to explain, finally spoke.
āEric, have you had enough? Youāre truly disgusting.
Harrison was somewhat relieved at these words.
Although there was no point in arguing, as one of the parties involved, Carrie deserved the right to speak.
āYes, we do live together.ā
Carrieās next sentence left Harrison somewhat desperate.
Your defense is worse than saying nothing!
Unsurprisingly, the crowd was stunned.
This was getting interesting.
They were just attending a routine birthday party, never expecting to witness a gossip drama live.
Many people in the circle had heard about Carrie, who had recently become a hot topic on the internet.
At this moment, they genuinely felt enlightened.
Usually, which star would not do their utmost to avoid rumors, is it possible that she would self-disclose her relationship just after becoming popular?
Wouldnāt that result in quick downfall?
Despite the whispering crowd around her, Carrieās expression didnāt change,
āBut Harrison and I are innocent. He is a true gentleman, Eric, you are not even worthy to tie his shoes!ā
Upon hearing this, Eric burst into laughter. novelbuddy. com
The others also laughed at Carrieās āshamelessā defense.
This was ridiculous.
In this day and age, a man and a woman living together, the man promoting the woman with his song, could they be innocent?
Did these two think everyone else was a fool?
ā āStop laughing! I can testify! Harrison is genuinely decent! I guarantee it with my integrity!ā
Unexpectedly, someone who shouldnāt have interfered in such a situation stood up.
Everyone turned to look, it was a young girl wearing a serverās uniform.
The standard of catering at Avrilās birthday banquet could not be low. The chefs were all from Michelin-starred restaurants, and the entire logistics service team was from a professional housekeeping company.
This young woman dressed as a server should be an employee of that company. āShut up! This is not your place to talk! Who do you think you are!ā Eric was basking in the sensation of seeing Harrison and Carrie being judged by everyone, how could he endure a mere servant taking Harrisonās side. āIā¦I really have nothing to sayā¦ā The female servant recoiled slightly in fear. Harrison looked at her curiously, stepped forward, shielding her behind him, and asked, āWhy are you here?ā
The female servant scratched her head, āIā¦am I not always working part-time? This is my part-time job!ā
She didnāt tell the truth.
She did have a position in the housekeeping company, but she wasnāt on the staff list for this event.
When she heard that the host of the birthday party was the superstar Avril, she managed to squeeze in just to see the spectacle and broaden her horizons, even without a salary.
This server was Lucy Haywood, the local singer Harrison had met at the Milton Music Academy..
