Chapter 117 - 112: Little Girl
Chinese New Year is the time for visiting.
In the second day of the Chinese New Year, Amelia Miles, John Anderson, and Amelia’s brother Jace Miles went to the Hobson Family’s home in the Imperial Capital to offer New Year greetings.
The Hobson Family had always been extremely doting on Charles Hobson, and both Amelia’s brother and sister-in-law had spoiled her as well.
As a result, they were particularly affectionate towards Charles Hobson’s son and daughter, treating them as if they were their own children, especially Amelia Miles.
Moreover, now that they were connected by marriage to the Anning Faction, they had always wanted to win favor with Harry Anderson, so they were also very polite to John Anderson.
They arrived early in the morning, and the whole family sat in the living room chatting.
Amelia Miles leaned on John Anderson’s shoulder, playing with her cell phone, feeling tired from listening to all their conversations.
John Anderson chatted while helping her peel nuts.
“Have you two made any plans for when to get married?” asked their aunt with a smile.
John Anderson glanced at Amelia Miles and said, “We’ve been discussing this issue recently and are considering getting married around June.”
“It’s good that you have plans,” added their uncle. “But once you’ve made up your minds, make sure to tell your family in advance. We only have one daughter in our family, and both families dote on her. We must have a grand wedding. Many things need to be arranged, so we need to know ahead of time.”
“I understand, uncle,” Amelia Miles replied. “You’ll be the first one to know when the time comes.”
“Tell your mom first, and then tell me.”
“Okay, okay, I got it,” Amelia Miles said obediently with a smile.
After she finished speaking, she no longer participated in their conversations and quietly looked at her phone.
After watching a video, she opened Facebook.
She was just browsing aimlessly.
Suddenly, a post caught her attention.
[Is there any clean place left? The entertainment industry is so dirty. Even a nobody like Daisy Zane can sit next to a big-shot director and choose characters. I really don’t know what she can choose. I also don’t know why she can sit there and on what basis. @Morris @ Flynn Ninevara. I really like their shows, and I regard both of them as idols. But I won’t watch them again, because it’s disgusting and too dirty. ]
There were two photos below the post, taken during the audition day, showing Daisy Zane sitting next to Morris.
They were probably taken secretly, so they were somewhat blurry. But they could still clearly see that it was Daisy Zane and Morris.
The account that posted this has very few followers and mostly share some gourmet food.
So far, not many people have seen it.
Looking at the post, Amelia Miles’ heart raced. Finally, someone was talking about it. Finally, someone was addressing this issue.
She tightly clenched her phone, showing no emotion on her face. She told everyone in the living room that she was going to make a phone call and hurried to the courtyard to call Olivia Chester, informing her of this matter.
Olivia became excited when she received the call: “I knew it. There must be someone who is not satisfied. All those big celebrities have such arrogant hearts. How could they possibly accept being evaluated by a little girl and then do nothing about it. This must have been posted by one of the celebrities’ secondary accounts.”
“Yes,” Amelia said, feeling relieved after holding her breath for several days.
“The popularity should go up soon.”
“At this time, we should also add fuel to the fire,” Olivia said. “Clarissa Mason was right. Daisy Zane does have her ways. She even managed to win over Morris, who is so difficult to deal with.’
“They’re all just despicable methods,” Amelia replied.
“With the general low level of education in Cold Green Village, it’s no wonder she’s learned these tactics,” Olivia said. “Who knows what she’s been doing in the countryside for so many years.”
Amelia chuckled: “Morris must be too self-conceited, daring to bring her to the audition and even let her sit next to him, giving her all the power.”
“Morris is just used to doing things his way,” Olivia said. “He thinks he’s extraordinary and full of himself, as if the entertainment industry would collapse without him. Let’s show him how he’s going to be kicked out of the circle in this era of Internet celebrities. Don’t worry, not only will Daisy Zane suffer, but Morris won’t get off easily either.”
“I wonder if Flynn Ninevara is involved.”
“Who knows? But as long as he doesn’t come forward and speak up for Morris now, this storm should not affect him,” Olivia said. “With Flynn Ninevara’s status, if he wants to protect himself, he definitely won’t cooperate with Morris in the future. You reminded me that our company has signed some directors. We can try to win over Flynn Ninevara.”
“That’s what I thought,” Amelia laughed. “I’m just worried he won’t be easy to deal with.”
“If Morris falls, he’ll need a director,” Olivia said. “Let me go talk to him. In this world, people are after fame and money. He’s already got fame, so as for money… we just need to offer him more.”
After hanging up the phone, Amelia Miles stood in the courtyard with a malicious smile on her face, finding everything pleasing to the eye.
Suddenly, a voice from behind said in a nonchalant tone: “What evil scheme are you plotting now?”
Hearing the voice, Amelia Miles lowered her gaze and turned around. However, the deep malice in her eyes remained unchanged, looking like a completely different person from her usual obedient and sensible self.
“Cousin, how come you’re out here too?”
Benjamin Hobson looked at her and laughed. He must be the only one in the family who knows Amelia Miles’s true nature. This woman deceived her own parents and brother completely.
In front of them, she pretended to be well-behaved and sensible, like a little white rabbit. She had never been caught red-handed, making them trust her completely.
If it hadn’t been for the time when he was a child and saw her beating up a classmate in an alley, he would surely believe that she was innocent and pure. Ever since he had caught her that time, Amelia Miles had never pretended in front of him again.
One way in front of others, and another way in front of him.
He genuinely wondered if his cousin had a split personality.
“If their conversation had continued, it would have been about me, so of course, I had to come out,” he said.
“You should be doing something productive,” Amelia Miles said, “Don’t always make Uncle angry.”
“I’ve been well-behaved for the whole year,” Benjamin Hobson said, then looked at her and said, “I heard your dad wants to acknowledge that illegitimate daughter?”
“We’ll see if he can acknowledge her first.” Amelia Miles looked at her cell phone, watching the heat of the Facebook post rise bit by bit.
“Do you have some bad ideas again?” Benjamin Hobson put his hand on her shoulder and whispered, “That girl is very pretty, it’s okay if I play with her, right?”
Amelia Miles’s expression paused as a calculating look flashed in her eyes, “Do as you please, but… that woman is not honest, don’t you catch anything.”
Benjamin Hobson suddenly laughed with a lewd face, “Don’t worry, I know my limits.’
While the storm brewed outside, the two people in Cold Green Village, completely isolated from the world, were still pulling weeds in the courtyard.
Who could have thought that the Third Master of the Imperial Capital would drive himself to Cold Green Village?
And who would have thought that the Third Master, who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, not only came to Cold Green Village but also pulled weeds there.
If they told anyone, it would probably scare everyone’s heads off.
“Third Master, actually, it’s okay not to pull them. They’ll grow back next year anyway.”
After finishing breakfast, Kevin Clark continued to weed. This was already the third time Daisy Zane had tried to persuade him.
“You don’t want me to work hard?”
Daisy Zane turned her head to look at him and gave him an “if you say one more word, believe it or not, I’ll leave you here” look.
Kevin Clark understood her meaning and smiled, “If I didn’t come, you would definitely clean up the courtyard, right?”
Daisy Zane looked away and didn’t say anything, tacitly agreeing.
“Since there are still people coming back, it makes no sense to let the courtyard go to waste.” Kevin Clark switched legs to squat and continued, “If they grow back next year, I’ll come back to pull them then.”
Hearing his words, Daisy Zane clenched her hand tightly, cutting the grass in her hand in half.
Why would there be someone who understood her so well.
“Daisy, let’s discuss something.”
“Hmm?”
“Don’t call me Third Master anymore.” Kevin Clark said, “Call me by my name.”
“What if I don’t,” Daisy Zane said coldly, not letting any emotion seep into her words.
“Then…” Kevin Clark looked at her, his eyes narrowing dangerously as he smiled, “We are alone in these wild mountains, I might just take advantage of you.”
Daisy Zane flicked the dew from the grass onto his face, “What dreams are you having, Third Master.”
She bit down a bit harder on the words “Third Master”.
After being splashed with water, Kevin Clark closed his eyes and wiped his face with his arm. He didn’t get angry at all and laughed, “Little girl, you know I won’t do anything to you, you’re getting more and more unscrupulous.”
Daisy Zane showed no emotion on her face, staring at him. Then she lowered her head, pinched a bit of dirt, and threw it onto Kevin Clarks shoes.
“Hiss—
Hearing his grinding and helpless sound, a faint smile appeared in Daisy Zane’s eyes.
Kevin Clark saw her smile and felt happy inside. He wanted to reach out and pinch her face, but his hand was a little dirty. In the end, he could only rub her face with the back of his hand and said in a doting tone, “Little girl.’
Just a little girl. No matter how strong, mature, or indifferent her appearance, she was still a little girl in her heart.
So mischievous she couldn’t handle it..
