Chapter 118: Keep an eye on her 24 hours a day
The smile on Lindsey’s face froze and she calmly shook her head, “I’m not going back.”
Old Mr. Grant was so angry that he could not speak, and it took a long time before he sighed quietly, got up and went to stand by the window.
He turned his back, his back was sullen and lonely, his head of hair was shining in the sunlight, like a layer of aperture, blindingly tight.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Lindsey awkwardly coughed lightly, anxiously waiting for his next.
The memory of being locked up in the guard room was like a thorn in the back of her mind, and even if she didn’t think about it, it would still hurt her bones. It was impossible for her to return to The Grant family, and she did not want to have any more involvement with Bruce.
Besides, Warren’s future is still in the hands of someone. Even if Old Mr. Grant has a good hand, he will not make things difficult for his own son-in-law and grandson for an outsider.
After a long silence, Old Mr. Grant seemed to have made up his mind, slowly turned around and looked at Lindsey from above: “Let you suffer, old man I still hope that you can look at this old face and forget the unpleasant past.”
“Put your heart into it.” Lindsey looked at him with a clear gaze and a calm attitude: “Old Mr. Grant’s lick of love, Lindsey can understand. So I ask Old Mr. Grant to appreciate the love and care that my three brothers have for me.”
Old Mr. Grant’s mind was slightly shaken, and his face involuntarily surfaced with a displeased look: “So, you are determined to ignore Bruce?”
“Yes!” Lindsey simply admitted: “Even if you, Old Mr. Grant, come forward, I will not change my mind.”
Old Mr. Grant’s face increased in anger, his tiger eyes narrowed dangerously, his grim face darkened almost to the point of dripping ink.
Lindsey stiffened slightly under his threatening gaze, and cold sweat erupted on her forehead.
In the midst of the stalemate, Professor Lee pushed the door in, his loud laugh unexpectedly breaking the oppressive atmosphere: “Lindsey is here, you’ve been running around with that Edward boy all this time, you’re exhausted.”
“I’m fine.” Lindsey smiled unnaturally, glanced at Old Mr. Grant’s cloudy face, and hurriedly changed the subject: “It’s Lindsey’s honor to be under Professor Lee’s tutelage.”
“Modesty that set is not necessary, it happens that I have a project some time later, you come early to help.” Professor Lee smiled and waved his hand, his eyes fell on Old Mr. Grant, and casually asked, “Finished talking?”
Old Mr. Grant just nodded and didn’t say anything.
If he had known that his son and daughter were unhappy, he would have gone to The Heard family himself to propose their marriage, and made it official, instead of this bullshit.
Lindsey sat awkwardly for a while, excused herself and hurriedly left, rushing away.
Edward, who was waiting outside the door, saw her coming out and immediately followed her, asking in a lowered voice, “Does Old Mr. Grant want you to go back to The Grant family?”
“You’re too nosy.” Lindsey looked askance at him and glanced at his own candy cane was actually eaten up, immediately upset: “You compensate me candy cane.”
Edward blushed and threw the stick into the trash can, and laughed dryly, “I’ll pay for it, I’ll pay you for anything you want.”
Lindsey didn’t care about him and went straight back to the car and ordered the driver to take her to the hotel.
The driver didn’t dare to leave Edward behind, so he waited for him to get into the car before starting the engine and driving away from the beauty school.
When we arrived at the hotel, Lindsey simply packed her luggage, checked out and went with Edward to buy candy canes. The two of them just got off the bus when they arrived at the place and were blocked by a group of reporters.
“Mr. Edward, may I ask when the identity of the male and female leads of the new movie your company is pitching will be announced?”
“Mr. Edward, can you reveal to us the progress of the shooting of the new movie?”
“Mr. Edward, it is rumored that the female lead of the new movie your company is shooting is a newcomer with capital into the group and is your girlfriend?”
“Mr. Edward, may I ask what is your relationship with the newcomer who has become popular recently?”
“Mr. Edward …”
One after another, Edward blocked in front of Lindsey and protected her tightly, smiling and playing Tai Chi: “The new movie will have a closing ceremony soon, thank you all for your attention to this film.”
“Then can Mr. Edward explain the rumor that the female lead brought capital into the group.” Someone noticed Lindsey behind him and asked more sharply, “Is the female lead of the new film, the girl behind you.”
Lindsey sniffed, rolled her eyes in boredom, lowered her head and put on the cap of her dress, and quickly sat back in the car.
The lights of the car were intercepted by the ink-colored windows, but the reporter’s voice was still clear enough to float over.
Perhaps Lindsey’s face is too recognizable, or someone with an ulterior motive is pushing in the dark. The reporters surrounding Edward seemed to understand her identity in an instant and inquired about their love life.
Edward has been dealing with the media for many years and knows how to get along with them. When he noticed the change in tone of the reporters, he immediately returned to the car and told the driver to drive.
The video that went viral last year was deleted under Bruce’s operation, but it wasn’t hard for the entertainment reporters to find it.
He was afraid not of Lindsey’s identity being exposed, but of reporters then dragging her into The Grant family, which would make anyone’s family look bad.
After all, entertainment reporters have always been fond of grandstanding in order to grab headlines.
Thinking, he reassured Lindsey and quickly took out his cell phone to call his assistant, ordering him to make sure the news of today was suppressed.
When the call ended, Edward looked at Lindsey with embarrassment and said with a dry smile, “Sorry, keep your candy cane for now, I’ll pay you back later.”
Lindsey saw his serious apology and suddenly couldn’t help herself, “Forget it, wait until you get to Newport and treat me to seafood.”
Edward looked at her smiling eyes and his mood brightened.
The news that the two of them were photographed shopping did not appear in the newspaper in the end, but Bruce still got the video and photos of the day through unorthodox means.
When he saw Lindsey hiding behind Edward, his jealous rage instantly swept over him: “Cary, book me a ticket to Newport right away!”
“But …” Cary was shocked: “There is a very important dinner party in the evening, you can’t miss it, this is the order of Old Mr. Grant.”
“Tomorrow then!” Bruce’s cold gaze, a sharp arrow shot straight out the window: “Tell Carl to find someone to keep an eye on her 24 hours a day!”
Cary touched his nose and agreed in a small voice.
For Lindsey’s sake, he had beaten Ben badly yesterday, and he still didn’t know how to explain this to Old Mr. Grant, and this would be another incident.
—
Newport, Borealis Resort.
Lindsey went to the beach alone to blow off some steam after wrapping up from the set. The temperature in Newport is perfect for the season, the sea breeze is gentle and the water is blue.
She was walking aimlessly along the beach, memorizing her lines for her scenes over and over again, when she accidentally bumped into someone.
“I’m sorry …” Lindsey instinctively took a step back and looked up at the visitor: “I didn’t hurt you, did I?”
The Burton who was hit was surprised for a second, and when he saw that it was Lindsey, he hooked his lips in a wicked way: “Lindsey, what a coincidence, huh?”
