Sweet Wife So Charming: CEO: Hold Back Your Heart-Chapter 257: Vigilance

This aloof and regal demeanor instantly froze the air, leaving everyone else silent, not daring to even breathe loudly as they stared at him.

Even the director didn’t dare to waste words, directly getting to the point: "This is our newly appointed male lead; everyone, let’s give him a warm welcome."

Thunderous applause erupted around the dining table, but Aiden Webb impatiently frowned and said coldly, "Troublesome."

His remark made the atmosphere awkward again.

Moira Young, sitting next to him, could almost feel the waves of coldness emanating from him.

Aiden Webb’s personality was quite similar to Uncle’s.

It seemed others were scared of Aiden Webb too; those who had been cheerfully chatting and laughing became silent, not smoking or drinking, just quietly eating.

This resulted in a dinner that Moira Young thought would take at least two hours, from start to the payment, taking only half an hour.

She was more than happy about it, eager to return to the hotel to read her script.

Unexpectedly, someone dared to suggest going to a club. The director wanted to, but knowing Aiden Webb’s personality, he probably wouldn’t agree.

He cleared his throat and hesitantly spoke to Aiden Webb, "Professor Webb, would you consider us...?"

"Go," Aiden Webb shot a cold glance at the director.

"Alright, since Professor Webb agreed, let’s go have some fun," the director said cheerfully to the group.

Nobody expected Aiden Webb would agree, and for a moment, they were quite surprised. But soon, they understood; it seemed Aiden Webb did want to go. His status just made him reluctant to speak up.

Everyone immediately understood, and nobody said another word.

Moira Young didn’t expect there would be more to come; just as she was about to refuse, Aiden Webb coldly told her, "Get in the car."

"Hmm?" Moira Young was puzzled.

"I told you to get in the car." Aiden Webb first boarded his business vehicle and gestured for Moira Young to follow.

Recalling the lesson from Sean Dunn the previous night, she quickly declined by waving her hand, "No need, I have my own car."

Aiden Webb gave her a deep look without speaking, and the next second, the car door slammed shut and the vehicle sped away.

Moira Young sighed helplessly, having no choice but to get into her own business vehicle and follow behind them toward the club.

Half an hour later, Moira Young was sitting on a plush leather sofa, lost in thought.

She clearly didn’t want to come, yet she still did. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

The club was a place for drinking and singing, and this luxury club offered all kinds of services.

Including hostess services.

The cast itself was mostly male actors. Initially, they were still reserved, just drinking a bit and singing a song, but soon their true colors showed, their faces disgusting.

Watching the hostesses filing in one after another, Moira Young felt suffocated.

Moments later, except next to Aiden Webb, almost every man had a hostess beside him, some even having two.

She had never witnessed such a scene before and couldn’t help but feel disgusted.

But since everyone was having fun, she felt it would be awkward to leave, so she quietly hid in the corner, not participating in any activities.

After a few rounds of drinks, the room became more chaotic, with those who had pretended to be proper starting to grope the hostesses, hugging and kissing them, it was simply unsightly.

Feeling utterly disgusted, Moira Young couldn’t stay another minute and excused herself due to feeling unwell to leave early.

Breathing the fresh air outside, she finally felt much better.

After joining the film crew, she had seen the distortion of human nature and the treacherousness of the entertainment industry, even starting to reflect on whether she should remain in this circle.

"Take this." The icy male voice came from behind as she was deep in thought.

She turned to see Aiden Webb’s emotionless face and glanced at the bottled water in his hand, her expression changing slightly.

"No, thank you."

The scenes from tonight and last night strangely overlapped and this time, she was cautious not to drink anything given by others.

She thought Aiden Webb would be angry but instead, he slightly smiled, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, "At least you’re not too dumb."

He unscrewed the water bottle and took a sip.

His words left Moira Young baffled. She wanted to ask what he meant, but didn’t know how to begin.

While she hesitated about whether to ask, Aiden Webb coldly added, "In this industry, don’t trust anyone."

After saying that, Aiden Webb didn’t give her a chance to react, immediately turning to leave her alone in the wind.

Moira Young frowned, what exactly did Aiden Webb mean?

Talking to her for no reason and then saying these strange things, what was he up to?

Ultimately, Moira Young couldn’t figure it out.

After leaving the club, she intended to go directly back to the hotel, but her stomach protested with dissatisfaction.

Earlier at the dining table, she didn’t touch her chopsticks, and although she wasn’t hungry before, as time went on, her stomach started to grumble.

Gazing at the bustling streets, she instinctively headed towards the center square.

Passing by the snack street, the enticing aromas stirred her appetite.

Despite Julian Sinclair telling her multiple times that street food was unsanitary and forbidding her from eating it, at that moment, she couldn’t resist the temptation and walked towards the snack street.

As she walked, she came across a small shop less than five square meters, with a sign displaying bold characters: Secret Duck Intestines.

Although she’d never eaten such a thing, the enticing smell made her drool.

Before she realized it, she was already standing at the shop entrance.

The lone shopkeeper enthusiastically greeted her, "Miss, would you like to try some duck intestines? Thirty skewers for ten bucks, it’s a great deal. Want to come in and try?"

"Why is it so cheap?" Moira Young was genuinely shocked. Since being with Julian Sinclair, she had never bought anything so cheap.

How could they not be losing money with such a deal for just ten bucks?

Seeing Moira Young’s elegant attire, the shopkeeper knew she was from a wealthy family, so he smiled and encouraged her, "Since it’s cheap, want to give it a try?"

"Okay, then I’ll take ten bucks’ worth." More than that, she feared she wouldn’t finish them.

"Alright, just wait for a moment, it’ll be ready soon." The shopkeeper chuckled and quickly invited Moira Young inside to sit.

The little shop had only one small table, but it was spotless.

After sitting down, it didn’t take long for the shopkeeper to bring out the grilled duck intestines.

It was then that she realized why there were thirty skewers for ten bucks; the servings were meagerly small. However, for her, getting this much for ten bucks was a good deal.

Thinking about paying, Moira Young opened her bag but was stunned to find...

She seemed to have no cash.

So she embarrassingly asked, "Auntie, can I pay by card here? I seem to have forgotten to bring cash."
