But... that made no sense! Lucas Gomez was Aria's boyfriend! She was helping Aria just now, so if there was anyone Lucas was going to despise, it should be Aria's sister, not her!Lucas stepped forward silently, but before he could speak, the assistant eagerly added, "Mr. Gomez, Aria was only trying to help her sister and take her to Finn Gordon just now, but her sister flat out shoved her away! Aria even sprained her ankle because of her!"She was saying all this to encourage Lucas to take Aria's side and help her.And Aria was currently all misty-eyed. She looked heartrending as she tried to hold back her tears and say, "Don't... Don't listen to her, Lucas. My sister... She didn't mean it. It was actually my fault. I was not careful and tripped over my own feet. That's why I fell."But the more she acted that way, the more the public's blame shifted onto Serenity, and the more spiteful and domineering Serenity seemed, while Aria looked like the innocent and angelic younger sister

Serenity and Lisa finally arrived at Finn Gordon's lounge after following his assistant's lead. Finn turned out to be very warm and friendly with both of them. He even voluntarily asked them if they would like to take a photo with him and even told them, "If both of you would like tickets to my movies or anything like that in the future, just give me a call. I'll get my staff to send them to you right away."As he spoke, he took the initiative to give Lisa his private phone number himself. In his mind, after seeing Serenity with Jackson Valor that day and hearing from Mr. Valor himself saying that Serenity was his girlfriend, he naturally felt it wise to strike up a good friendship with this woman.After all, the more key connections you made in the entertainment industry, the better it would be.And seeing that Lisa was Serenity's best friend, he was naturally happy to extend the friendship to her as well. If Finn Gordon had voluntarily given his phone number to Lisa before wha

"Hehehe..." Lisa chuckled awkwardly, thinking that she should never have lied, because liars always got exposed.Terry then turned to Serenity and greeted her, "Hello. I'm sorry this idiot dragged you into trouble today. May I ask if your business here is done? If it is, why don't we all eat dinner together?""It's fine," Serenity politely refused, not wishing to be the third wheel, "I'm a little busy and have something else to do, so go ahead and just take Lisa to dinner.""Then let me drive you home," Terry offered."It's fine, I can just take the train at the station in front of the cinema. I don't want to get stuck in traffic."After speaking, she then quickly said goodbye to Lisa and left.Once she was gone, Terry folded his arms and stared at Lisa with a half-smile before saying, "It looks like you've got some explaining to do regarding what happened today.""Well," Lisa began fumblingly, "I've been working really hard today, so I thought I'd just go out and have some fun

"Let's go get dinner, then," said Terry. Lisa felt revitalized as soon as she heard food being mentioned. One of the biggest perks of dating Terry was being able to eat all kinds of food she had never gotten to try before. The two then left the cinema, and Terry drove Lisa to a rather famous restaurant in the city. It was the kind of restaurant that Lisa used to only read about in food magazines but never had the luck of frequenting it herself, but ever since dating Terry, she had actually eaten here several times before and found the food here very much to her taste.Once they got inside, Terry asked for a private dining room, and they settled down there. All the while, Lisa did not even care much at all about the posters of Finn Gordon that she had just gotten. Instead, she kept on scrolling through her phone and reading the posts online. After reading them for a short while, her face turned really sullen."What's wrong?" Terry asked."These people are ridiculous!" she grumb

Terry was amused by Lisa's reaction. This girl had completely lost all interest in her most beloved idol, Finn Gordon, but was now obsessively curious about anything that had to do with her best friend instead.In fact, she was so obsessive about anything regarding Serenity that he was beginning to get jealous.When would this idiot start to be even slightly curious about him?"Go on!" Lisa urged impatiently. "Tell me!""What do I get if I do that?" Terry asked nonchalantly.What would he get?Lisa blinked in confusion. Uhh... What could she possibly give him? At most, she could probably give him some concert tickets or perhaps give him one or two of the Finn Gordon posters she had just gotten."What do you want?" she asked him."A kiss is good enough," he replied without thinking much of it, except to see how she would react.But in the end, Lisa held up his face and very casually planted a deep kiss on his face."That should be good enough! Now, hurry up and tell me!"Ther

Soon, more and more people started to join in on the bombardment against Aria Lewis. After all, nobody liked to be made a fool of! As for questioning the expert? His analysis was just too crystal clear and his logic too watertight that there was no doubting him. Besides, he had nothing to do with Serenity Lewis at all, so there was no reason to doubt that he might be biased!Aria's assistant quickly called her, saying, "The situation online is getting out of control, Aria! There's an expert who claims that you did everything on purpose. I think you should hurry up and ask for Lucas Gomez's help, otherwise, this might really get out of hand!"Aria ground her teeth in anger. When she first saw how everyone online was flaming Serenity, she was indeed in a very good mood. If things had developed further, there might be a chance that it would cause a strain in Serenity's relationship with Jackson Valor when he figured out what was going on, and that would have made Aria even happier!A

Her voice sounded emotional as if she was being charged for a crime she didn’t commit. However, whenever they made eye contact, she would feel a lingering sense of guilt. “Right, you’re still my girlfriend,” murmured Lucas to himself. He rose from his seat and walked toward Aria. Seeing this, she was overjoyed. Did Lucas finally believe her? Looks like he still had some feelings for her!When he finally approached before Aria, he gently raised her chin to gaze at her eyes, which were wet with tears. She maintained a meek and pitiful demeanor throughout their interaction. While she wasn’t an A-list movie star, she was still an actress. What’s more, she had plenty of experience playing innocent and heart-rending characters. “If you really think I’ve mistreated my sister, I will apologize to her. Even if the internet turns against me, I don’t mind,” said Aria softly. Lucas’ fingers moved up and pressed softly against her lips. “Do you know why I chose you as my girlfriend?”His

The damages she stood to pay were no small amount. “I really love you, Lucas. Do... do my lips resemble hers? Even as a substitute, I’m more than happy to stay by your side. Please, don’t break up with me!” Aria pleaded desperately. Lucas, on the other hand, pulled his hand away and returned to the sofa. “What a shame. You’ve even lost the right to serve as her substitute.” How could a person like her be that little girl’s substitute?He had been searching for a person like that, only to be disappointed repeatedly. There would always be something about those women that reminded him of that girl, but this illusion would be shattered once they got together. No matter how he tried, he just couldn’t feel the emotions he felt from his interactions with the little girl.It felt like he was desperately trying to grasp something, only for it to slip out of his hands all the time.Aria wanted to lunge at Lucas and persuade him to let her stay, but two security guards came up and held h

Serenity realized that there were plenty of people who were eager to kick Aria while she was down. However, she was far from sympathizing with her. She wasn’t a saint, not to mention the fact that Aria had initially set out to harm her. “Why don’t you want me to announce that you’re my girlfriend?” asked Jackson. He was planning to officially introduce Serenity to the public as his girlfriend to avoid any misunderstanding that she was in a relationship with Lucas. For some reason, she objected to his plan even though she didn’t intend to hide her past relationship with him. “I don’t wanna make a big deal out of this, and I don’t like being on the news.” Even a sizable portion of their current social circle was aware of her past relationship. If they announced their relationship online, it wouldn’t take long before she appeared on the front page of the Internet. When that happened, she was worried that people would flood into the restaurant and make her work difficult. Giv

The next day, news of Lucas’ breakup with Aria became a trending topic on the internet. Posts suggesting that Serenity was the cause of their breakup were quickly removed. One could safely say that Serenity was removed from the equation completely. Because Lucas himself had plenty of ex-girlfriends, the public wasn’t all that surprised that he had once again broken up. After all, there were so many more celebrities who were more popular, beautiful, or better-educated than Aria. In fact, some thought that their breakup was inevitable. Compared to Lucas’ exes, Aria had virtually nothing going for her. Many speculated that because of this incident, Aria’s status in the showbiz industry would take a nosedive. In the past, many were envious of her position as his girlfriend. After what had happened, she was nothing but a mere “ex-girlfriend”. In Aria’s apartment, Grayson and Catherine looked at their daughter with worried expressions. They had learned of the breakup not from her,
