Chapter 231: Chapter 231: The Weight of Love, Drama Resource Leak
"This year I’m planning to stay in Bayne City," Isabella Xyler gently rubbed her shoulder, "so, Olivia, are you considering taking me in?"
Claire Green paused for a moment, her slender fingers pinching Isabella’s face as she asked seemingly casually, "Are you sure?"
"Absolutely sure. Anyway, every time I go back, I just follow my brother and the others around. I’d rather stay in Bayne City."
Isabella Xyler left out one thing: the reason she wanted to stay in Bayne City was to start the new year with Olivia.
After staring at her for a few seconds, a faint smile surfaced on Claire Green’s lips. She didn’t expose anything and meaningfully hummed, taking Isabella along with her.
...
The two returned to their elegant abode, and when Claire Green saw the little carrot head in the living room, she raised her eyebrows.
Originally engrossed in his phone, Benjamin Green lifted his head upon hearing movement, the game immediately losing its appeal, and dragged his tiny legs towards the girl.
However.
Before touching the collar, he was picked up, his entire body suspended in the air.
"Stop pouncing on Claire," a man’s clear magnetic voice echoed above Benjamin Green’s head.
Benjamin immediately pouted and began to struggle, "Let me go."
Watching this odd duo, Isabella Xyler moved her body closer to Mason Quinn’s side, "When did this little demon change his style?"
If memory serves right, this little guy is the typical sweet-faced savage.
The bunch from Capital City have often been teased by him.
Mason Quinn pursed his lips, "Maybe since he started faking bumps into Claire Green."
Amusedly watching Benjamin Green struggle, Claire finally chuckled lightly and reached out to rescue him.
Finally landing, Benjamin Green hugged the girl’s leg, lifted his head, his dark eyes staring at the girl unblinkingly.
"Sis, long time no see."
He had already heard about it from his brother, so back then, he had actually faked a bump into his biological sister.
"Hmm, you’ve gotten heavier," Claire remarked casually, feeling the weight on her leg.
Benjamin’s expression crumbled, though he had indeed gained a bit of weight, could people not notice?
Quite a while passed.
"No way, this is clearly the weight of love for sister."
He earnestly babbled nonsense, his childish voice causing everyone to stifle their laughter, even Claire’s eyes brimmed with amusement.
Her long fingers poked his forehead, then took his hand to sit with him on the sofa.
"What are you doing here?"
She leaned back, casually watching him while asking.
"Of course, to spend the New Year with sister."
Saying this, he attempted to climb next to the girl, only to be tossed to the other side of the sofa before he managed to get up.
When he got up to look, the spot he wanted was now occupied by a man.
Benjamin’s small face fell, his eyes complex, "No wonder Mason Quinn always says you’re no good, now I see it’s true."
Even stealing a child’s spot.
"Benjamin Green, don’t drag me," Mason Quinn was originally enthusiastically watching the fun, only for this little demon to blurt out startling things.
Meeting the man’s meaningful gaze, Mason Quinn sheepishly rubbed his nose, "I never said that."
Who could have thought?
Benjamin’s eyes gleamed as he searched for his phone and pressed it, a familiar voice flowed out.
After listening, Mason Quinn stared at him incredulously.
Darn, he actually recorded it.
Now Mason Quinn turned from a mere onlooker into the center of attention in the melon patch.
George Xyler couldn’t suppress the smile on his lips, "Didn’t realize you harbored such resentment against Julian Sia behind our backs."
Even Caleb Green joined in the teasing, "That’s unexpected."
"Get lost, now you’re teasing me, are you still my brothers?" Mason Quinn shot them a sideways glance, grumbling.
"I don’t do good," Julian Sia’s voice was low and magnetic, yet carried immense pressure.
"Since that’s the case, don’t hand Night Covenant the task of finding J, you handle it."
With these words.
Mason Quinn jumped up, unbelievingly pointing at himself, "Me?"
J was elusive, where was he supposed to find him?
"Any problem?" The man’s gaze was at once amused and menacing.
"No problem," Mason Quinn shook his head.
He would go to Night Covenant, no problem at all.
...
Morning.
The rapid ringing of a phone echoed in the room.
A black duvet extended an arm, reaching the phone by the pillow and answering.
"Hello." The voice was hoarse and weary.
Upon hearing the girl’s voice, Charlotte Shaw realized she was interrupting the girl’s sleep but the unexpected happened, and she thought of the girl first.
"Miss Green, it’s bad, our series’ resources have somehow suddenly been leaked online." Charlotte’s tone was anxious.
The girl’s eyelids lifted, her eyes bloodshot. Near the end of the year, someone was still restless.
Her tongue pressed against her palate, her voice cool.
"Got it, I’ll handle it."
She casually threw the phone aside, got up, and curled up on the sofa, opening her laptop onto her lap.
Soon enough, all the resources spreading online vanished without a trace, even those saved on phone screens went blank.
Just as netizens were marveling at who had intervened, their attention was instantly drawn to a trending topic.
"The Unspeakable Secrets of a Contemporary Little Flower"
Curiously clicking in, the content was jaw-dropping.
[Truly acting like a saint while being anything but.]
[Ugh, after watching the video, I feel like I need to wash my eyes, it’s nauseating.]
[Shen Xueyan seemed pure, but who knew she was so wild behind closed doors.]
[God, listening to her duplicitous statements, I wanted to slap her.]
[Being a mistress is one thing, but she filmed so many explicit videos, what was she thinking?]
The online buzz soon reached Shen Xueyan’s ears. Initially, she was pleased with the leak of Charlotte’s new series, but upon hearing her assistant’s words, her face turned pale.
Impossible.
She had clearly deleted those things long ago.
"You’re lying to me, aren’t you? Are you sent by Charlotte, that b**ch?"
Hearing her hysterical roar, the assistant trembled, handing the phone with the video to her.
After watching the video, Shen Xueyan overturned it, "It’s over, everything’s over."
"You realize it now?" The door to the dressing room opened, a woman in a neat and crisp professional attire walked in, "I warned you against scheming, especially targeting Charlotte."
Everyone in the circle knew the company behind Charlotte was formidable, yet she stubbornly wanted to rebel.
"Sister Chen, what should I do?" Seeing her, Shen Xueyan acted as if she saw a savior.
Zhao Qiumorning frowned, "The company’s stance is for you to publicly apologize, avoid the spotlight for the time being."
Upon hearing this.
Shen Xueyan couldn’t believe her ears, making her apologize would mean everything was over, saying she should avoid the limelight, but the real goal was likely to blacklist her.
No, she can’t apologize, she’d worked hard to reach the top tier, she couldn’t let it be destroyed.
Having mentored her for so long, Zhao Qiumorning could already guess her thoughts, and without waiting for her reply, logged into Shen’s Weibo and posted an apology directly.
"What did you do?" Shen Xueyan snatched her phone, the latest post glaring at her, "You’re insane."
"You’re the one who’s insane, your future as a star was promising, yet you kept sabotaging it, I’ve canceled all your recent activities, think it through carefully."
After Zhao left, Shen Xueyan angrily smashed things in the dressing room, making the assistant fearful.
Charlotte Shaw also quickly got wind of it, after watching she smiled, knowing nothing could faze Miss Green.
Thinking this, she sent a very sincere message.
[Miss Green, thank you.]
The reply came swiftly.
[You’re welcome.]
