The party lasted for half a day, and everyone left after having fun.
After settling the drunk guests, Link returned to the living room and saw Taylor sitting on the sofa with her long legs crossed, facing Amber.
Taylor was wearing a white dress, her blonde hair draped over her shoulders, her hands folded in front of her, her lips pursed when angry, looking a bit cold.
Amber was swinging her legs, chewing gum, looking indifferent.
Both were beautiful women, and if they sat together laughing and talking, calling each other sisters, the scene would be very beautiful.
But now the two were in a confrontation, and the atmosphere was not harmonious.
Link couldn't help but have a headache. He looked at Ms. Anna next to him, wanting to ask if she had any good ideas.
Ms. Anna nodded and left, closing the door behind her.
This...obviously misunderstood his meaning.
"Link, who is she?" Amber turned around and asked.
Link knew she must know Taylor. Her question of "who is she" was not asking for her name, but her identity. But how should he answer?
Saying that Taylor was his ex-girlfriend would make Taylor's identity awkward, and Link didn't want to hurt her.
"This is Taylor." Link introduced.
"I am Link's girlfriend." Taylor narrowed her blue fox eyes and said sharply.
"I am Link's girlfriend. The media and his friends all know." Amber held Link's arm, her body pressed against him, indicating that the two were closer.
Taylor snorted softly and said lightly, "We have been together for more than half a year. We had a little conflict some time ago, but now we are reconciled. I hope you can leave on your own initiative."
"Why? Just because you're a big star, I should listen to you, huh!" Amber curled her lips in disdain.
Taylor clenched her fists on her knees and said, "You should know that Link doesn't love you. He just treats you as a female companion. Has he ever said 'I love you' to you? I believe not."
Amber blinked, leaned on Link's shoulder and smiled, "I don't care, as long as I love him is enough. I believe that after a long time together, he will fall in love with me too."
"Link, will you?" Taylor stared at Link and asked.
Link was very embarrassed. When he watched movies in the past, he liked to see the male protagonist's love triangle. Every time he saw two or more women meet, tear off the scumbag's disguise, and then abandon the scumbag together, he felt very relieved.
When he became the person involved in the love triangle, this feeling was very bad.
Taylor took out a checkbook and quickly filled out a check, "Amber, thank you for accompanying Link during this time. This $500,000 is your reward. You can leave."
Amber was stunned for a moment, then blinked and smiled, "I'm serious about Link. You want to buy out my love for him with $500,000, it's impossible. Love is priceless."
Link also looked at Taylor speechlessly, how could anyone use this method to drive away a love rival, this was too rich.
"$1 million!" Taylor signed another check, holding the two checks between her fingers, staring at Amber, "This is the last chance, choose to stay with a man who will kick you away at any time, or take this money, buy a mansion, and live a rich life, you choose."
Link looked at the check and shook his head. With his own conditions and strong body, no woman would leave him for $1 million, absolutely not.
"Will you really give me $1 million?" Amber stared at the check and asked.
"$500,000 is nothing to me, I care more about Link." Taylor said calmly.
"Deal!" Amber laughed, walked over and picked up the check, looked at the two and said, "It seems you have a lot to talk about, I won't bother you anymore, I wish you a happy life. By the way, Link, you are the best man I have ever met, if you need anything in the future, feel free to call me."
Amber kissed Link on the cheek, took the check and left happily.

"This is your new girlfriend? Giving up on you for $1 million? I didn't expect your taste to be so bad." In the living room, Taylor raised her lips with a hint of disdainful mockery on her face.
Link's face darkened. He also didn't expect Amber to choose $1 million instead of him, a big star, a potential stock, and a future billionaire. This woman's vision was too short-sighted.
Link rubbed his face, sat down opposite and said, "Taylor, you didn't have to do this. I explained before that we are not suitable. You love your career, and what I need is a girlfriend who can always be by my side, a family member. I think you should understand what I mean."
"I understand, I will adjust my work schedule in the future and spend more time with you at home." Taylor said seriously.
"Is that possible?"
"Why not try? When I was working outside, you didn't ask me to stay at home with you, and you didn't express any dissatisfaction with me. You just dumped me with a phone call. Is this my fault alone?" Taylor looked at him angrily.
Link was speechless.
Of course, he, a big man, would not tell Taylor that he hoped she would stay at home more, as that would make him seem too weak.
In addition, Taylor would become a superstar in the world music scene in the future, and he didn't want to restrict her development because of himself, so he never made any demands on Taylor.
Now hearing Taylor say this, he also felt that breaking up over the phone was a bit hasty.
"I know I was wrong, but is there any way to solve our current situation?"
"How do you know if you don't try?"
Then the two of them sat in the small living room and seriously discussed how to solve the "contradiction between the growing workload and the limited time together that cannot meet Link's needs."
The solution was to reduce some unnecessary work, reduce the frequency of holding concert tours, and have at least two months of time together each year, and so on.
Taylor wrote seven or eight pages in her notebook.
These plans looked good, but Link didn't think they would have much effect.
Taylor loved music and loved to sing, and she would still choose work when she had work in the future.
But seeing Taylor writing seriously, he didn't want to say anything more.
"What do you think?" Taylor asked him after putting down her pen.
"It looks good, but I hope it won't affect your work." Link asked.
Taylor looked at him strangely, "You seem to care more about my work than me. If it were other boys, they would ask their girlfriends to stay at home or give up their jobs, and only after being rejected would they propose to break up. Why don't you do this?"
Link shrugged, "You started singing at the age of nine and met me at the age of nineteen. I don't think my importance in your heart will surpass music, so I never ask you to do this."
"So you think I love music more than you?" Taylor asked in a daze.
"Isn't it?" Link laughed.
Taylor looked at him quietly, her blue eyes blinked, and suddenly picked up a pen and started writing and drawing in her notebook.
"What are you doing?"
"Inspiration came, I want to write a song, don't bother me." Taylor said without looking up.
Link shook his head.
Got up and cooked her dinner.

After Taylor came back, Link lived a life with a woman again.
Although Amber also lived in the villa for a while, she also had a job and her own circle of friends. Link and her could hardly play together. The two had little communication other than body fluids and hormones.
Taylor was different. They understood and appreciated each other, had common interests and hobbies, and felt much more comfortable when they were together.
Three days after living together, the two decided to make their relationship public to the media.
When the two appeared on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills that day, Hollywood paparazzi and reporters swarmed.
From seven or eight at the beginning to three or four hundred media reporters later, thousands of fans and onlookers directly paralyzed the traffic on the main road of Beverly Hills. In the end, the Beverly Hills Police Department could only arrange hundreds of police officers to pull up the cordon along the road to divert traffic.
Then the news of the two shopping was made public.
This incident caused a great sensation in the media and topped the headlines of major news media across the United States.
Because Link and Taylor were almost the most popular light-skinned male and female singers in the American music scene, and they had a high influence worldwide.
The love affair between these two was obviously a big deal.
And not long ago, Link's partner was Amber, and Amber also talked about her privacy with him in the media.
Just a few days later, Link's girlfriend became Taylor again.
The change came too fast, leaving too much room for imagination and discussion for the public and the mediaThe media frenzy caused some to speculate that their relationship was a publicity stunt to promote their new albums.
Link and Taylor did not respond to these speculations. They focused on their daily lives, training, shopping, partying, writing songs, and practicing the piano, closing the door to their private lives.
Meanwhile, Amy Adams, who was also at the party, watched the whole scene unfold. She had always admired Link's talent and personality, but seeing him caught between two women, she couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment. She knew she had feelings for Link, but she also knew that he was not emotionally available.
After the party, Amy went home and poured herself a glass of wine. She thought about the events of the day and the complicated relationships between Link, Taylor, and Amber. She wondered if she should confess her feelings to Link, but she was afraid of rejection and didn't want to jeopardize their friendship.
As she sipped her wine, Amy decided to put her feelings aside and focus on her career. She had a promising future ahead of her and didn't want to get caught up in a love triangle. She would support Link and Taylor's relationship as a friend and hope for their happiness.
The next day, Amy went to work with a renewed sense of purpose. She threw herself into her projects and tried to forget about her feelings for Link. But as she worked, she couldn't help but wonder what could have been if things had been different.
