"Why is it you again!"
"A..... Mr Alston? "
"What a coincidence that you're here too, may I ask the owner of this house in ...?"
Edith saw Alston smile awkwardly, frantically vain, looking around to hide it.
She didn't know how she got unlucky recently, bumping into Alston one after another.
Alston's inky eyes held a deeper meaning that one couldn't see, and his long legs moved forward, walking towards Edith:
"I am the owner of this house, and it is I, who has asked you to come and tutor."
"What?"
This is the manor of A's group!
Edith should have thought that besides the A family, who else in the whole city has such financial power to purchase such an estate, at this moment, she was only angry that she didn't look at the calendar before she came, not to mention that she didn't use her brain!
The shock and remorse in his eyes were short-lived, Edith immediately thought of a countermeasure and turned his words to.:
"Mr Alston, I came here today to apologise, thank you for your love, but I am not able to do this job, so please find another tutor."
Edith apologised, and without even a glance at Alston, turned her head to leave, but her white wrist was grabbed by Alston and pulled back.
Edith's centre of gravity was unsteady, and after a few steps towards Alston, Alston's handsome face was close at hand, the tips of their noses facing each other.
"Are you afraid of me?"
Alston's ink pupils narrowed slightly, testing with a few hints of danger.
Alston crossed Edith's safe distance, she subconsciously held her breath, her body tensed, and strongly suppressed the idea of making a move on Alston when Alston's mobile phone rang.
Releasing Edith's hand, Alston took a few steps away to answer the call:
"Mr Alston, the woman from the other night has been found."
...…
Alston's pupils darkened abruptly, and the slender knuckles holding the mobile phone were slightly hardened, making them even whiter.
Just thinking about that woman, a few points of anger and dryness rose in the bottom of Alston's heart.
"Wait for me here, I'll be back in half an hour."
Alston ordered in a deep voice, and without even looking back at Edith, he left with his long legs in big strides.
"Rude!"
Edith gritted her teeth slightly and looked at Alston's departing direction, her eyebrows knitting into a ball.
"Who wants to wait for you?"
"I'd have slipped away by the time you came back!"
"It's not like I'm stupid!"
With this thought, Edith was about to leave the A's Group's manor when a milky female doll's voice rang out behind him.
"My Uncle hates people who chew on people behind their backs, you won't be able to stay."
Edith looked back, a female child around ten years old was sizing herself up on the first floor.
Jenny was born cute, round little white face with delicate features, wearing a pink princess dress, but in one hand she was carrying a half-ruined Princess Lego that hadn't been put together yet, looking a bit out of place.
She was on the first floor looking at Edith's eyes watery and bright, and not half a bit of mockery, as if just stating a fact.
Edith knows who the doll is, she is Alston's brother Adam's daughter Jenny, different from Alston, Adam is elegant and gentle, dedicated to academic research, and his wife is always abroad attending the major academic research conferences, is the industry-praised pair of husbands and wives follow the piano and music of the model couple.
It's a pity that Jenny, since childhood was raised in the Alston's old father, Mr. A.
But Mr. A on Jenny can be said to be pampered to the extreme, want the stars to get the stars, want the moon to pick the moon, and at a young age will become the king of the world, in the A city across the walk.
It is said that Mr A has recently gone abroad to attend a class reunion, which is why Jenny was handed over to Alston to take care of.
A combination of the devil and the A-town bully?
Interesting ... Super Interesting.
Edith suppressed the corners of his mouth to hold back his laughter, hung his head in a show of regret, and explained to Jenny, :
"Well then, since I can't stay either, then please say to Mr Alston that I have to go beforehand, thank you, little sister ..."
Edith instantly turned around and left, unable to suppress the joy of the heart leaving, just walked two steps suddenly thought of something, turned back to Jenny, and said:
"Oh yes, that princess Lego you cannot load because the parts on the right shoulder loaded to the left waist, dismantle and re-install it."
At that, Jenny picked up the Princess Lego in her hand and her little face crumpled into a ball, how did she know she couldn't put her Princess Lego together?
"Hey ..."
Jenny tried to call out to Edith, but Edith had long since disappeared.
A's Entertainment Company, a dressing room on the thirteenth floor, Peter was already waiting outside early.
"Mr Alston." Seeing Alston coming, Peter nodded his head and said respectfully.
"Where is she?"
Alston grimaced and asked impatiently.
"Inside."
"Watch the door and don't let anyone in."
Alston pushed the door in, and it hit the wall with a knocking sound that sent a shiver down the spine of the woman in the dressing room.
"A..... ...Mr Alston."
The woman sat on the leather sofa in the dressing room, one leg in plaster resting on a small table, dressed in a gorgeous dress, but with her eyes downcast, not daring to look up, her voice laced with obvious awe.
On the day Mr Alston was drugged, E. Green's surveillance disappeared, along with the surveillance of the surrounding shops, but Peter still found a woman with an injured leg and foot, walking with a limp through the surveillance of the nearby streets, and it just so happened that she also appeared at E. Green that night.
She was the star of the show - Ivy.
"Who drugged me?"
"You?"
Alston pinched Ivy's chin and lifted it upwards with force, his eyes were cold, forcing her to look at himself, Ivy was pinched painfully and looked at Ivy with tearful eyes, murmuring:
"No, no, I didn't ..."
Looking at the woman's face, Alston vaguely felt a few moments of familiarity, only subconsciously recalling the blurred figure that had been panting underneath him that night.
At the thought, Alston's belly went dry, and the hand cupping Ivy's chin went a few inches harder as he warned, "I don't have much patience."
"It's Bryan, it's Bryan from B Entertainment," Ivy's lips struggled to get the words out.
At that, Alston let go of his hand and raised an eyebrow, signalling for Ivy to continue. Ivy timidly avoided backwards, looking at the bottom of Alston's eyes, in addition to fear, there are a few traces of love.
Ivy and Alston are high school classmates, she has been beautiful since she was a child, she has been the star of the show, and she has always been the flower of the school, there has never been a boy who didn't like her, except for Alston, or it can be said that Alston has never liked anyone, he has no one in his eyes.
He is so proud and charming, and his whole body exudes the iceberg general cold nobility, to get close to her, Ivy stepped into the entertainment industry, trying to become a popular star, just to stand together with him.
But when Alston meets Ivy, he doesn't even know that she is his classmate for three years.
Ivy felt ridiculous, but it seemed to be expected.
She rubbed her chin which was pinched red by Alston, glanced at Alston greedily and quickly lowered her head, held the folds of her skirt with both hands, bit her lower lip with her shell teeth, and opened her mouth after half a minute's thought:
"My star contract is about to expire, and Bryan has been interested in Elma for a long time and has not been able to pursue her, so he used the contract to threaten me and asked me to give drugs to Elma. "
" I just want to get out of my contract, I don't want my future to be ruined. ..."
No matter how popular a person is, for capitalists, stars in the entertainment industry are like a small boat in the torrent, which can be turned upside down with the move of a finger.
A few days ago, Bryan brought himself to E. Green to attend a cocktail party to socialise and coerced Ivy to drug Elma. Ivy knew that Elma was an artist under A's Entertainment but didn't think that Alston would come in person for this matter.
Although Ivy has been in love with Alston for many years, she is afraid of him because of his reputation.
She just wanted to open her mouth to plead for herself, Alston then opened his mouth and said in a deep voice:
"Say one condition and put the matter of that day in your stomach.
