Chapter 511: Chapter 454: We will encounter this frequently in the future.
Sometime during the night, the sky had changed outside the window. Apanied by a rumbling sound, a sh of lightning lit up the darkness, reflecting light into the room.
Ste Edwards leaned against the table, her fingers tightly gripping the edge, constantly applying force.
Her eyes were fixed on a spot, her chest heaving, as if she could only breathe with heavy gasps.
Alice Eugene saw her like this, a momentary viciousness in her eyes as if she had made a decision after some hesitation and struggle, “As long as Daisy Zane is alive, Henry Kirsten’s heart will never have room for anyone else.”
Ste Edwards looked up at her.
“Do you want to be someone’s substitute forever?” Alice continued, “Women should always fight for the things they like, especially for an outstanding man.”
Ste Edwards just looked at her.
“If I were you. I would rece that person.” Alice looked into her eyes, “Turn from a substitute into the only one.”
“Why are you telling me all this?” Ste Edwards asked, looking at her.
“Because,pared to Daisy Zane, I’d rather the person by Henry’s side be you.” Alice continued, “Besides, Daisy is already married. She’s not worthy of Henry. But Henry can’t forget her, so only if she dies, everything can be resolved.”
Ste Edwards stared at her for a while, then slowly lowered her gaze.<div>
“If she’s alive, you’ll be a substitute for a lifetime,” Alice continued, “Only if she dies, will Henry’s eyes truly see you.”
Ste Edwards did not answer, her gaze downcast.
Alice nced at her for a moment, fearing that saying too much would be counterproductive, and didn’t say anything more before leaving her room.
The room’s door opened and closed. sh after sh of lightning outside the window, and the sound of thunder grew louder and louder.
Ste Edwards stood by the table for a while longer before her legs suddenly gave way, and she copsed on the ground, covering her mouth as she started to cry.
It was the first time she had felt moved, the first time she had liked a man.
But this man only saw her as a recement.
Ste Edwards did not sleep that night, and when she went out for breakfast the next morning, she deliberately wore heavy makeup to hide the fatigue on her face.
When she arrived at the restaurant, Henry Kirsten was already there.
Seeing her, he said to her, “Today’s makeup is a bit different.”
Ste Edwards forced a smile, “Yes, I didn’t sleep well. Myplexion is a bit off.”
“Are you feeling upset?” When Henry noticed her earlier, he sensed that her mood was very low, as if something was on her mind.
Alice nced at Ste Edwards.
Without looking at Alice, Ste Edwards answered Henry, “I had a fight with someone onlinest night.”
Henry chuckled, “How did you even get into a fight with someone online?”
Ste Edwards cut the sandwich in front of her with a knife and fork, lowering her gaze, “There has been a lot of criticism of Daisy Zane onlely, even saying she’s having an affair.”
Alice’s expression suddenly changed, and she nced at Henry from the corner of her eye.
Henry looked at Ste Edwards as well.
Pretending not to see Henry’s gaze, Ste continued cutting her sandwich, her eyes dull, “Kevin rk is outstanding, he has both family and good looks. Daisy Zane is so perfect with him, how could she have an affair? I don’t know what thoseizens are thinking, I think there’s no one more suited for each other than the two of them…”<div>
With a tter, Henry’s knife and fork fell on the te, making a crisp sound.
Alice and Ste were both startled.
Alice stood up directly, standing to one side.
Turning her head to look at Henry, Ste gathered all her courage to meet his eyes, trying her best to suppress her emotions other than doubt.<div>
In Henry’s eyes, she saw disgust and a fleeting murderous intent, but it quickly returned to calm.
“Don’t ever let me hear the three words ‘Harton rk’ again.”
After saying that, Henry got up and left the restaurant.
Ste Edwards watched his retreating figure, her pupils trembling.
Alice nced at Ste Edwards again, the look in her eyes clearly saying, “See, I told you so.” Then she quickly followed Henry.
Ste Edwards watched them leave, Henry’s stern, angry voice just now echoing in her ears.
He had never spoken to her like that before.
All because of Daisy Zane, even a slight mention was not allowed.
She was the only one left in the restaurant, and although she ate her sandwich, it tasted like chewing wax – nd and tasteless.
Edward Kirsten stayed in M Continent for another two days and then left.
Ste Edwards returned to her home country the day after he left.
After returning, she put down her luggage at her residence, went to visit William Lane, and then went straight to the Lane Family from the hospital.
Ste Edwards was very familiar with the Lane Family, and Sophie Ortiz liked her very much. After she became a student, Sophie brought her to live in the Lane Family home for a long time, while others lived in the dormitory of the Dance Association.<div>
It wasn’t until Ste Edwards had her own apartment in Imperial Capital that she moved out.
However, the Lane family always reserved a room for Ste Edwards.
Upon entering the Lane Family home, Ste Edwards had a very solid feeling like she was returning home, and her depressed mood improved a lot in the past few days.
However, as she walked to the garden in front of the vi, her good mood suddenly choked.
She saw Daisy Zane and the Lane Family’s Patriarch nting flowers together.
They were chatting andughing while instructing the gardener to nt many new varieties of roses in the front garden.
Charlotte Lane was the first to notice Ste Edwards. She noticed someone was looking at them, so she looked back.
They were separated by a short distance, and their gazes met. Charlotte Lane felt the hostility from Ste Edwards.
Ste Edwards’ eyes flickered and dodged the moment Charlotte looked over.
Seeing that Charlotte Lane hadn’t moved, Old Master Lane followed her gaze.
Seeing Old Master Lane also looking at her, Ste Edwards immediately smiled and walked over: “Grandfather Lane, you’re back?”
Old Master Lane also smiled: “Yes, I’ve been back for a while. Are you here to see your teacher?”
“Yes.” Ste Edwards nced at Charlotte Lane, “I just came back from Brother Roy’s ce.”<div>
“Go ahead,” Old Master Lane said, “Your teacher and the others are inside.”
“Alright.”
After Ste Edwards left, Charlotte Lane and Old Master Lane continued nting flowers.
By the time they finished nting flowers in the garden and went inside, Sophie Ortiz had been chatting with Ste Edwards for quite some time.
As soon as Sophie Ortiz saw Charlotte Lane, she said, “I believe you two should know each other.”
Sophie Ortiz had onlymunicated with Edward Monk about Ste Edwards’ movie and didn’t know much about Flynn Ninevara.
It was onlyter when she learned about Charlotte Lane, did she find out that Charlotte Lane was the screenwriter for Ste Edwards’ movie.
Charlotte Lane nodded her head.
Ste Edwards hadn’t had time to ask why “Daisy Zane” was here, so she politely said, “Brook God.”
Charlotte Lane looked at her: “Hello.”
Ste Edwards smiled, but there was always some awkwardness and reluctance in her smile: “Hello. I didn’t expect to see Brook God here.”
Sophie Ortiz smiled and said, “You’ll see her more often in the future.”
Ste Edwards looked confusedly at Sophie Ortiz.<div>
Sophie Ortiz smiled and said, “I’ll tell youter.”
Then she turned to Charlotte Lane and said, “L, go upstairs and call Amelie. It’s past ten o’clock, and she still hasn’t gotten up. We’ve called her twice, and she hasn’te out. If she sleeps any longer, her head will be ttened.”
Charlotte Lane raised an eyebrow, “Alright. I’ll go and check on her head.”
Charlotte Lane went upstairs to call Amelie Quentin.
Ste Edwards sat on the sofa with a baffled look on her face: “L?”
“Yes, L.” Sophie Ortiz tucked Ste Edwards’ stray hair behind her ear and treated her like family, saying, “She is L, your junior sister.”
