Chapter 731 Go Take a Cold Shower
Before hanging up, Linda specifically reminded, "In any case, the situation with Marlon and Beth is quite strange. Grace, you must not get involved, not even speak up."
"Okay, I will heed your advice."
"I suspect Beth has been deceived by him, or he has some leverage over her. Otherwise, it's really incomprehensible."
"I completely agree."
After chatting with Linda this time, Grace didn't think much of it.
A few days later, Grace had almost forgotten about it.
Suddenly, a hot topic appeared online.
#BethAndMarlonGettingMarried!
#BethIsGettingMarried!
Beth was a celebrity after all. Although not a top star, she was a hot actress in the industry.
As soon as this news came out, the social media servers crashed immediately.
It wasn't just because Beth suddenly announced her marriage, but more importantly, her announced partner was Marlon.
This Marlon, who had a terrible reputation recently and was forced to leave the entertainment industry.
Fortunately, the programmers urgently repaired the social media platform, and it was fixed by eleven o'clock at night.
Grace had just finished her bath, and when she opened Instagram again, it was still in an uproar.
Beth's announcement post had become the hottest topic.
[You and me, forever. In the lowest moments of my life, you accompanied me. This time, it's my turn to stay by your side, Mr. Hopper.]
Below, there were two pictures.
One was of Beth and Marlon holding hands, wearing wedding rings.
The other was the marriage certificate.
There weren't many celebrities with the last name Hopper in the entertainment industry, especially those who have had recent incidents, so Beth's Instagram was easy to figure.
In ten seconds, someone found out that the Mr. Hopper in her post was Marlon.
But her die-hard fans were unwilling to believe it.
Until someone found out that the hand wearing the men's wedding ring was exactly the same as the one Marlon had posted before.
Beth's die-hard fans had to force themselves to admit it.
As for Marlon, because he had been banned, his Instagram was abnormal and he couldn't log in or post updates.
So Beth couldn't tag him.
Grace's first reaction upon seeing the hot topic was a simple, stunned thought, 'Beth is crazy.'
But then her mind raced, and she added, 'No, seriously—Beth is really, truly crazy, and not just a little bit.'
Marlon was a scumbag, morally corrupt, and had character issues.
Marlon's family background had almost been thoroughly investigated, and Beth, with her love-struck mind, was willing to marry him.
This was no longer a matter of love.
This was simply foolishness.
Grace wondered what Marlon had told Beth.
The comments were almost all scolding.
[What's going on? Beth and Marlon got married? When did they date?]
[I'm furious, I've never seen anything like this. Marlon is a scumbag, everyone avoids him, and Beth is in a hurry to marry him? What kind of thought she has, I think she's out of her mind.]
Someone replied: [I don't want to say anything. I'll wait for Beth to regret it later, and I definitely won't sympathize with her then.]
What was strange was that people were supporting Beth.
Someone said they admired Beth's courage to bravely announce her love when everyone else disapproved, it must be true love.
Someone else said they admired Beth's persistence and loyalty to love, even if Marlon made mistakes, she wouldn't leave him, it was truly touching and happy love.
"I think it's more like tragic love." Grace sneered.
Her fingers had already typed out a long string of words on the screen.
But thinking of Linda's reminder, she deleted them all.
Although she didn't like Beth, as a fellow woman, it was hard to watch her being deceived by Marlon.
At the same time, she increasingly felt that Marlon was very good at deceiving people, to the point of tricking Beth into marrying him.
Quentin came back from the study and found that Grace, who said she was going to sleep, was sitting barefoot by the bed.
Grace was staring at her phone, looking very focused.
"Not sleepy?" He walked over.
As he spoke, he found that Grace was focused on her phone, completely ignoring him.
Looking closer, he saw that Grace was pouting, looking very angry.
"What happened?"
Grace put her phone on the bed and hugged his waist, "Beth and Marlon got married!"
"Marlon?" Quentin frowned. "The one who harassed you multiple times and tried to assault you?"
"Yes, you even punished him, how could you forget so quickly?"
"He's just a jerk, I don't bother to remember him."
"It's just..." He reached out, lifted Grace's chin, and asked seriously, "Seeing your expression, you seem unhappy? Why? Regret it?"
Grace slapped his hand away, "Don't accuse me, how could I be so irrational?"
"Marlon is a scumbag, morally corrupt."
"I just feel sorry for Beth. With her qualities, she could find a man a countless times better than Marlon. How did she end up being deceived by him?"
"And I think Marlon has ulterior motives."
Seeing her frowning, Quentin took her hand, "Alright, stop thinking about them. Everyone has their fate."
"The future is her choice, and she will have to face it even if it gets tough."
"Instead of thinking about this, why not help me with my bath?"
Grace was shocked when she heard his words and widened her eyes."What did you say? Help you with your bath?"
She couldn't stay calm.
"Is there a problem?" He raised an eyebrow.
"No way, you bathe yourself, I'm sleepy, I'm going to bed."
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately turned and hid under the covers.
Quentin had anticipated her move and grabbed her wrist with one hand, easily pulling her in front of him.
"I see you're not sleepy, very energetic, and have energy to care about others."
"That was just normal entertainment. Besides, I'm also in that circle, it's normal to pay attention."
Quentin nodded, "Yes, you make a good point."
"Then, as a girlfriend, it's also normal to help me with my bath."
Grace was helpless.
Just as she was thinking of a reason to refuse, Quentin had already carried her on his shoulder and put her in the bathroom.
"You can't use force!"
Grace looked at him with her clear eyes.
"What if I do?"
Quentin took a step forward, easily cornering her against the wall.
Grace's hands were on his chest, her breath unsteady, "Calm down, don't you like cold showers? How about a cold shower?"
