Chapter 573: She Wouldn’t Force It

Diego was soaked to the skin since he didn’t have an umbrella. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Both Laura and Fannie were shocked to see him like this.

Before they could even figure out what was going on, they saw him rushing into his room and

rummaging the drawers for money.

Stunned, Fannie and Laura didn’t know what to do, nor did they dare to ask him what was going on.

Diego looked everywhere in the house but didn’t even find a coin. He rushed up to Fannie and seized

her by the collar, asking, "Where’s the money? Where did you hide the money?"

It was then that Fannie realized Diego had become addicted to drugs,

which was the worst thing that could ever happen to a family in this world, because a drug addict was

irrational.

Laura realized it too, terrified.

She was fifteen that year.

Luckily, Fannie sent her to a boarding school in the city to prevent Diego from hurting her.

Since her school adopted close management, no one, including her parents, was allowed in during

weekdays unless under exceptional circumstances.

Laura and Fannie had been scared during those years.

And that was also when Fannie’s health declined.

Things hadn’t taken a turn for the better until Laura came back to Eqitin to attend a drama school.

The past flitted through her mind like a movie.

However, Laura was, oddly, calm when she recalled those painful experiences in the past.

It was as if those memories were gone with the wind.

Truly, she went through it, and it was all history now, so there was no need for her to worry again.

Laura woke up late the next day.

Maybe because she had been dreaming the whole night, Laura didn’t feel refreshed when she got up.

Nicole knew Laura had come home late last night, so she didn’t come to her apartment early this

morning, and she brought some chicken soup for her.

After washing up, Laura was reading the gossip column on Twitter as she ate the soup.

Suddenly, she paused.

Sitting on the sofa, Nicole was packing up things Laura would need today. She asked out of curiosity

seeing that, "What’s wrong?"

Laura just ate a spoonful of soup. Before she could swallow it, she choked and coughed.

She shook her hand immediately, "Nothing."

However, Nicole came over to her regardless.

She saw an eye-catching headline on the trending list that read,

"Angelic Beauty Laura Davies Meeting Golden Bachelor At Night. Are They Doing It?"

Nicole widened her eyes in astonishment.

There were two fuzzy pictures below the caption, in which Laura and Max were coming out of the

restaurant together.

Max was blurred on the picture, probably because the paparazzi didn’t want to offend someone so

powerful, while Laura was fully shown.

Therefore, one could tell the woman in the photo was her, even if she was wearing a mask and

lowering her head with her hair down.

"Laura…"

Laura rubbed her forehead in depression.

"It’s alright. Things like this happen all the time. Didn’t they take a picture of Stephen and me together

the other day?"

Laura managed a smile. Although she said she didn’t care, obviously, she was cursing in her mind.

Nicole knew what she was thinking, and laughed.

"Laura, shall we tell Maria?"

Laura’s face darkened and she shook her head.

Maria might have long known it since the news was trending.

But if she asked her about what had happened yesterday, Laura didn’t know what to say.

Should she tell Maria that Max was suddenly stung by conscience and took her to the park?

If she did, Maria might let her imagination run away with her.

Laura sighed helplessly and shook her head. "Forget it. Let’s leave it alone and get going now."

Nicole nodded.

Laura’s work today was to do a promotional shoot for a product she endorsed.

Now that she was an A-list actress, many manufacturers asked her to promote their products.

Maria intended to improve Laura’s popularity, so she didn’t renew the contracts with those

manufacturers of daily necessities, which Laura had signed with when she was still a starlet.

Now she only chose to work with luxury brands.

For instance, she would be shooting a series of photos for a high-end skin care product today.

Laura and Nicole got downstairs and drove straight to the studio.

The photographer and makeup artist was already there when they arrived. Today, Laura had to do

some shooting for the propaganda posters and the brochures. It was a lot of work and time was

precious, and no one could afford to waste any second.

Laura rushed straight into the dressing room after jumping off her car.

They had been shooting all day long finally finished work at 6.

After a long day, Laura was exhausted.

Nicole made her some herbal tea. It was when Laura sat down and took a sip that she told her, "Laura,

Maria just called, saying she just made a statement on behalf of you."

At first, Laura didn’t know what Nicole was referring to. After a few seconds, she realized that she was

talking about the gossip online.

She thought for a moment and reached out her hand, "Give me my phone."

Hearing that, Nicole took her phone out of a bag and handed it over to her.

Laura clicked open Twitter, seeing that Maria had already posted a clarification via her account.

Maria had no idea that man was Max, and took him as some male friend of Laura’s.

Laura had promised before that she wouldn’t be in a relationship in the near future, and Maria trusted

her.

Then Maria called, and it was Nicole who answered the phone and told her that Laura was working, so

Maria just hung up and made a statement online.

Laura read it and found nothing wrong, so she heaved a sigh of relief and quit Twitter.

When she removed her makeup, she said goodbye to the staff and left with Nicole.

Meanwhile, Lily was lurking online and saw those photos, her heart sinking.

The others might not recognize Max, but she could, because they had just met yesterday.

Even if Max was blurred, she could still tell from his clothes that it was him.

So they spent a whole day together?

Lily’s heart skipped a beat when she thought about it.

She was aware that Max didn’t love her, and she didn’t care before.

As long as she could be with him and marry him, she didn’t care if he really loved her, and she wouldn’t

force it.
