Chapter 282 The Frenzied Fans!
"Richard, get back here quick! This chick is giving me the creeps. Just looking at her makes my head spin." Juniper was still annoyed that Lyra had dragged Oliver and Celeste in without a word of explanation.
Just seeing her face and hearing her over-the-top, flashy confession to Richard, it was obvious she was the kind of fan Richard couldn't stand.
Juniper pouted. "Catherine, she probably thinks you're competition too."
To fans like Lyra, every woman around Richard was a rival, especially someone like Catherine, who Richard spoiled unconditionally. That made Catherine Lyra's number one target for jealousy.
That was why Lyra started going after Catherine the moment she saw her!
Catherine shrugged, unfazed. "People like that are just nuts. If a dog bites me, I'm not gonna bite it back."
Juniper nodded. "Who knows where she came from, so shady."
Lyra almost fainted from anger hearing Catherine and Juniper's blatant mockery! She blushed, thinking about her passionate confession being overheard, but quickly pulled herself together. "Richard, I don't know what I did to Catherine, but she's always targeting me."
Catherine shrugged. "Targeting her? When?"
Juniper chimed in, "Paranoia is a sickness, Lyra. Maybe you should see a doctor!"
Richard took a step back.
Lyra's eyes filled with tears, convinced Richard would take her side. She'd liked him for years, ever since he debuted, with posters of him all over her room.
Richard had been her rock all these years!
In Lyra's mind, Richard would definitely stand by her.
Richard's brows furrowed as Catherine spoke calmly, "Richard, this person brought the Smith Family into the neighborhood, and Marcus is still mad."
Richard got anxious and asked, "Catherine, are you okay? Did they bother you?"
Catherine shook her head. "No, Marcus handled it."
Lyra, hearing that the Windsor Family didn't value Catherine's adoptive parents, started plotting. 'If they value Catherine, they'll value her adoptive parents too!'
"Richard, how can Catherine treat her adoptive parents so poorly? It's really unfilial. If I get the chance, I'll teach her a lesson for you. After all, she's your sister," Lyra said.
Richard's eyes showed a hint of disgust. He'd seen many fans like this.
They already considered him their possession, thinking celebrities shouldn't have their own lives.
No matter what he did, he'd get tons of private messages "advising" him to follow their demands!
Richard had many rational fans, but also many irrational ones! "If you've got a problem with your brain, there's a hospital outside the neighborhood. Go check it out."
Lyra's face turned pale! "Richard! How can you say that to me! I'm doing this for your own good!"
"The type of fan I hate the most is the self-righteous kind. And, Catherine is my sister. No matter what, she's the best in my heart, and you have no right to talk about her!" Richard waved to the bodyguards. "From now on, don't let any unauthorized people near the Windsor Mansion."
"Yes, sir!" A few bodyguards swiftly carried Lyra away!
Lyra couldn't believe Richard was acting so differently from what she had imagined. Sure, he was known for his sharp tongue in the industry, but she never thought he'd treat her like this! "Richard! You'll regret this! Without fans, you're nothing!"
Richard looked at Lyra's furious face, staying calm with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes. "Without you, I might not be a superstar, but I'll always be a Windsor."
With the Windsor Family backing him, Richard had plenty of options!
His manager chimed in, "I just recorded a video. We can use it to deter fans like this and also for PR, to call for rational fandom."
"Good, sue them if necessary, don't show any mercy!" Richard could be gentle with his fans, grateful for everything he had and all the glory. But if his fans bullied Catherine, Richard wouldn't tolerate it at all!
After giving instructions to his manager, Richard turned around to see Catherine and Juniper smiling at him.
Juniper brushed her short hair behind her ear and smiled charmingly. "Richard, don't listen to her nonsense. You've come this far thanks to the Windsor Family, your looks, and your acting skills."
Catherine nodded. "Richard, everything you have is because of your hard work and your audience. Not having fans like that is actually a good thing for you."
Richard felt a warm flow in his heart and smiled gently. "Yeah, I get it."
Before Richard could finish smiling, Juniper added, "With your intelligence, inheriting the family business might be tough, but your looks and body can still attract wealthy women to invest. Without those crazy fans, don't you still have some wealthy female fans? While you're still young, go contact them!"
Richard's smile froze, and his fists clenched tightly. "Juniper! When I get upstairs, I'm gonna beat you up!"
Watching Richard roll up his sleeves and head upstairs, Juniper hugged Catherine's waist and started fake crying. "Richard is going to kill me! I know I'm not a real Windsor, and he wants to beat me up, so I'm always an outsider."
Catherine smiled helplessly and patted Juniper's face comfortingly, speaking solemnly, "It's okay, Juniper, we're all family. Richard won't kill you. At most, you'll be bedridden for a few days. Go ahead, I support you!"
"Catherine, you're heartless!" Juniper said.
The Windsor Mansion was filled with the sounds of Juniper and Richard's playful bickering.
Hospital, emergency room hallway.
A young man wrapped in bandages leaned on a crutch and approached a woman sitting in the corner. He had already noticed the incredibly beautiful woman sitting there! "Hello, miss."
Emilia had just come down from the boxing ring, her whole body ached, and she didn't even have the strength to lift her hand. She knew George was busy and didn't want to trouble him, so she just found a seat to wait. "Are you a mummy?"
"No, I'm also a patient here. I've been watching you for a while and wanted to know if you're interested in getting to know me!"
"No need..."
Before Emilia could finish, the bandaged man continued, "Listen to me first before you decide! My family is very wealthy, we even have a microwave at home. You won't lose out being with me!"
Emilia's face was full of confusion. "What?"
"I see you came to the hospital alone. It must be tough! You don't have to be so strong anymore, because I'm here!" the bandaged man said.
