Chapter 485 Unrequited Love
The Curtis Manor.
The basement lights were exceptionally bright.
Footsteps echoed.
Lily walked in with her chin raised, her face full of displeasure, followed by Ben, who looked so timid that he didn't even dare to lift his head.
Ernest heard the commotion and glanced over.
His limbs were bound by iron chains, unable to break free or move.
A hand gripped his chin, turning his head left and right.
"Are you that Ernest?"
Lily spoke, her voice filled with intense disgust!
"Who gave you the guts to drug my daughter and try to take her away?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lily slapped him hard across the face.
The sound was crisp and loud.
"How dare you touch someone under my protection!"
After learning about this from Vito, Lily was furious!
Fortunately, nothing had happened, but she would never tolerate Ernest's actions!
Ernest smiled indifferently.
"She likes me, has liked me for years. I was just fulfilling her dream. What did I do wrong?"
Ben whispered, "Honey, he seems to be the idol Emma really likes."
"Idol?"
Lily laughed as if she had heard a joke.
"Spit!"
She spat harshly on Ernest's face.
"You think you're worthy?!"
"Look at yourself! You're just an actor who relies on fans and smiles for the camera!"
Ernest grinned menacingly.
His eyes looked terrifying.
"I'm an actor, so what is Grace? Just the same kind of person."
"The same kind of person?" Lily patted his face. "She left the entertainment industry and is still the high and mighty heiress of the Curtis family. And you? What will you have left after leaving the entertainment industry?"
Ernest understood her implication.
"You want to ruin my career in the entertainment industry?"
Lily raised an eyebrow.
She had seen arrogance before.
But never this much arrogance.
Facing death, he still showed no sign of pleading.
"This is the price you should pay! You wanted to use Emma to climb up? Then I'll make you fall to the bottom, trampled and bullied by everyone!" Lily said viciously.
However.
Ernest laughed.
He raised his head.
His short hair fell messily over his forehead.
"Then I'm looking forward to it."
When the ten o'clock alarm rang.
The people in the room shuddered.
Awakened from a dream.
"It's ten o'clock."
Manager Jimmy murmured lowly.
He had been sitting there for a full eight hours.
Still waiting for Ernest to return.
At this moment, his phone rang.
Jimmy quickly answered.
"Bad news! Ernest was taken away by the Curtis family!"
Jimmy sighed deeply, "I know."
The reason he wasn't surprised was because of his conversation with Ernest before he left.
"If what I do today succeeds, my career in the entertainment industry will soar."
"If I fail, there's still a way to salvage it."
As for what the way was, Jimmy knew very well.
He was just hesitating whether to do it.
Opening Facebook, the hashtag #ErnestGirlfriend# had already skyrocketed to the third spot on the trending list.
Because the news from Emma's school forum was getting bigger, it was quickly posted online.
Many fans were frantically messaging Ernest, leaving comments, wanting a definite answer.
Jimmy had a headache.
He knew that Ernest falling into the hands of the Curtis family was probably...
So, he immediately used Ernest's account to post a message.
Ernest: [I'm very sorry for not publicly announcing my relationship with Emma. Since my girlfriend is not in the industry, we didn't want to make it too public. We love each other very much and hope everyone won't interfere too much in our private lives. Thank you.]
[So they're really together!]
[Oh my god, my heart is broken.]
[It's fine, it's good that it's public. Ernest has so many rumors, almost every time he films, there's a new one. Even though we know it's for publicity, it's still annoying. Now that he has a girlfriend, I wish them well!]
[I can't believe Ernest would date someone outside the industry!]
[This person is Grace's sister, what's going on?]
[Probably met through Grace. Their connections in the entertainment industry are pretty normal.]
[Am I the only one curious about the guy standing next to Emma?]
Jenny was shocked for a long time after seeing this trending topic.
But she quickly took a screenshot and sent it to Lionel.
Her lips curled into a proud smile.
Take a good look.
The girl you like and protect so much already has a new love.
The lecture wasn't over yet.
The phone vibrated wildly in his pocket.
Lionel took it out and his eyes narrowed.
Damn it!
Wasn't Ernest already taken to the Curtis family? How could he post on Facebook?
[Lionel, I didn't expect Emma to have a boyfriend already. You can't keep going to see her, or her boyfriend will get mad!]
Lionel looked at Jenny's message, his clear eyes darkening.
[My business with her is none of your concern.]
After saying that, he put his phone on silent and ignored her.
Jenny snorted softly, picked up her backpack, and quietly left through the back door.
She quickly took a cab and headed to the White family.
Ann hadn't gone to bed yet.
Even though it was autumn, she was still wearing her favorite white dress, lying on the swing on the unlit balcony, her long legs dangling and swaying freely.
Jenny pushed the door open.
Ann heard the noise and frowned in displeasure.
"Ann, guess what I found today?"
Jenny walked up and turned on the light.
Ann slowly squinted her eyes, hiding her emotions completely, and spoke softly.
"What did you find?"
Jenny waved the camera in her hand and showed her a few pictures.
Ann glanced at them and looked away.
"Where did you get these things?"
They were an eyesore.
Jenny chuckled, "I found them in Lionel's bag."
Ann gave her a casual look, "The person in these is Ernest, right? Isn't the internet buzzing about Ernest and Emma being together? Keep this video safe, don't let it leak out. Otherwise, the fans will start speculating and it might not be good for Emma's reputation."
