lody Thorne and Jared Quinn were walking back after seeing off Mr. and Mrs. Thorne when they ran into soone.
Hans Montrose.
He wasn’t in the hall earlier, so lody had thought he had already left,
They used to be the closest of people, but now they felt like strangers,
lody averted her eyes as if she hadn’t seen him.
Hans Montrose’s gaze swept over her without a word, as he walked past them.
Back in the room, lody received a frantic call from Nina King, asking where she had been these past few days. The new movie had just achieved great success, and she didn’t seize the opportunity,
Now, many dostic advertisers were seeking her out, yet she was playing a disappearing act.
"When exactly are you coming back? If you’re planning on not showing up, I’ll just close your company down. By the ti you co back, you won’t find again, I might already have found soone else to cling to," Nina threatened, pulling at her hair.
Was she lody Thorne’s manager or helping her run the company?
"Soon, soon," lody replied perfunctorily,
Hearing such a dismissive tone almost made Nina smash her phone. "First, tell where you are. I’ll arrange so overseas work for you; otherwise, by the ti you return, you’ll already be washed up."
lody thought that was true, with so many newcors in the country; newcors would definitely overshadow others. By the ti she sorted things out here, people might have already forgotten her.
"Okay, I’m in Country C. I definitely won’t take on TV dramas or movies, but I can do so short ads."
Nina was montarily speechless, quickly flipping through things she could arrange abroad.
"Yes, we have. First, go walk a red carpet to boost your profile; the movie has already made it into an international film festival. It’s tomorrow, just in ti for you. Do you want us to send a gown over today?"
"No need, I have one here."
"Rember to walk well, got it? Or maybe try tripping or fainting on the carpet or sothing; it could spark another wave of popularity."
lody hung up the phone directly; could she use such lowbrow tactics?
"What’s wrong?" Jared’s arm circled around her from behind, his gaze upon her growing more intense. The emptiness of over twenty years was suddenly filled,
She was both Timmy’s biological mother and his wife, sothing he never imagined could make his life so complete.
"Nina wants to walk the red carpet, afraid everyone will forget after I return."
"Ha," Jared snorted, "Are you short of money?"
Currently, the richest woman is her.
"It’s not about the money; it’s my career." She not only wants to open her own managent company dostically but also internationally, including many things she hasn’t achieved yet, like entering the fashion and e-sports industries.
Jared overlooked her little expression, his gaze suddenly landing on her stomach. "Isn’t a period usually five or six days? Why was yours so short?"
"Hmm?" lody was a bit puzzled, "What do you an?"
"It was only three days. When I got here, it was just the third day, and we still did it," Jared stated word by word.
lody’s hand suddenly covered her belly, and she had forgotten about it until Jared brought it up.
That day, there were bloodstains on her underwear, so she thought it was her period starting,
