Chapter 204 Misunderstood
Grace had been in a foul mood all morning.
For the first time, she started to question if she had made a huge mistake.
With things already so messed up, why was she still holding onto that dream of becoming a star?
Was being a star really worth it?
To fix her reputation and pay off her breach of contract debt, she made a deal with Charles, even tossing aside her principles.
But now, she had already blown through ten million dollars.
Not only did she fail to fix her reputation, but it also got even worse.
This tarnished image might stick with her forever!
If she had known it would turn out like this, why did she even bother?
The money Charles gave her was enough to live comfortably for the rest of her life. Being a mistress didn't seem so bad now.
And now, she was getting roasted all over the internet again.
Forget about the dream of being a star; she'd be lucky if she could go outside without getting yelled at!
Grace always believed there was nothing wrong with chasing her dreams.
She was an actress, studied acting in college, and felt life was meaningless if she couldn't act.
Why couldn't girls chase their dreams? Why couldn't they go after their careers? She never thought she did anything wrong. She just wanted to act. But why was fate so unfair to her?
From morning till now, the insults on Twitter kept piling up. Gossip sites were tearing her apart.
Kimberly's video supporting Tiger had over 100,000 comments.
Critics were saying the nastiest things, almost driving Grace to the edge.
The long Twitter post Grace published accusing Tiger of unspoken rules had its comments skyrocketing to over 300,000.
Her Twitter followers increased by millions, but they were all haters.
[Grace, go die, you mistress slut. How do you still have the face to live in this world?]
[I've never seen anyone as despicable as you!]
[Just a minor actress who got a bit of fame and now thinks she's something. Bitch!]
Grace forced herself to avoid looking at her phone, but those words felt like daggers, stabbing her heart repeatedly.
This was cyberbullying.
When the whole internet was against you, that kind of mental torture was something few could handle.
Grace felt really helpless. Since she had been through it once before, she didn't want to go through it again.
At that moment, her phone suddenly rang. It was Charles.
"Hello, Grace? Are you home?"
"Yes!"
"Oh, are you alone?"
"Yes!"
"Alright, I'll come over to see you in a bit."
Charles initially planned to have Grace meet him somewhere, but on second thought, she was now embroiled in scandals and being attacked all over the internet.
In this situation, if Grace was recognized when she went out, it would be awkward!
Moreover, if she and Charles were seen together by passersby or paparazzi, the situation would become more complicated. Even Charles himself would also end up in the gossip news, and that was something he didn't want to see.
So, it was better for him to just go straight to her place.
Hearing his words, Grace paused for a moment, not quite getting what Charles meant.
Asking if she was home? If she was alone? And then coming over to see her?
'Could it be that he can't wait any longer? Is his lust finally showing? Wanting to take advantage of me being alone at home to have sex with me? Fine, if that's what he wants, I'll go along with it. So I don't feel guilty towards him!' Grace thought.
Honestly, it wasn't surprising that Grace thought this way.
Because the first time Charles met her, he said he wanted to be her sugar daddy and make her his mistress.
Since she was a mistress, it was basically a transaction.
And now Charles had already given so much, she definitely couldn't keep not giving anything in return.
Grace grabbed her phone, silent for a good ten seconds, then she said, "Okay!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Charles had already hung up the phone.
That "okay" meant she had made up her mind and was ready to offer herself.
Although she always felt there was a bit of coercion in this and it wasn't her ideal love, she fortunately had some affection for Charles.
"Valentin, let's go. Follow me somewhere!" Charles waved his hand, hailed a cab with Valentin by the roadside, and headed straight to Waterfront International Villas.
Around 3 PM.
Charles got out of the car, and took out his phone to send a message to Grace: [I'm already in the neighborhood. I'll be there in five minutes!]
Grace had been waiting at home for over half an hour.
In fact, during this half hour, she had been feeling a bit anxious and even took a shower.
After all, this was her first time.
As a matter of fact, she had dated boyfriends in her more than twenty years. From middle school to college, Grace had no shortage of suitors, and she dated someone in high school, but it was limited to holding hands.
In college, she dated a guy from a wealthy family. Just after two months, he wanted to have sex with her, but she refused. Unexpectedly, this boyfriend secretly had a relationship with her best friend.
Since then, Grace focused on her career.
Later, in her sophomore year, she signed with a talent agency.
The company had a clear rule that artists were not allowed to date during the contract period, otherwise, it would affect their popularity and easily cause scandals.
The contract was for five years.
At that time, Grace didn't care, so she remained single until now.
In the entertainment industry, being a 22-year-old virgin, Grace was quite pure!
Just as Grace was feeling extremely anxious, the doorbell suddenly rang.
She immediately got up, and looked through the peephole. After confirming it was Charles, she opened the door. "Charles, you're here! Come in!"
As soon as Charles walked in, she immediately noticed another person.
'Why is there someone else?' Grace thought, completely stunned.
Could it be that Charles didn't mean what she thought? Did she misunderstand his intentions?
