Chapter 1421


    Cindy looked in the direction of the sound. Likewise, Ian turned his entire face in the direction,


    whereupon another click rang out. Cindy spotted the paparazzi who was hiding behind the treewn.


    Actually, he was rather conspicuous. Ian, however, pretended as though he hadn’t seen anything,


    retracting his gaze. Then, he lifted an arm and wrapped it around her shoulder before getting into the


    car with her.


    What was that? Perhaps he gave up the pretense since we were already caught, directly making our


    rtionship known since we’d been photographed countless times. At least, this was Cindy’s take on


    Ian’s thoughts.


    After they’d gotten into the car, the driver chuckled. “Was it deliberate earlier?”


    The corners of Cindy’s mouth tilted up. “Ah, you’re smart! Say, do you think those paparazzi will be


    able to tell that we deliberately allowed them to photograph us? If they do, will they contemte it


    further and suspect the veracity of our rtionship?”


    Starting the car, the driver drove out of themunity area. As he drove, he replied, “They’ll never


    bother contemting that. They’ll only wonder why the two of you didn’t stand there and pose for a


    series of photos. Veracity isn’t something they’ve got to concern themselves with.”


    Cindy nodded. Then, she turned to look at Ian. “So, is that why you made it so intentional?”


    ncing at her out of the corner of his eye, Ian arched a brow but said nothing.


    When Ian was recording his show, Cindy finally went online to see how her news was brewing. Sure


    enough, there was a pandemonium on the inte. Many people reviled her, insisting that she wasn’t


    worthy of Ian. She’d already braced herself, so she wasn’t particrly anguished to see these curses


    that dragged her family along. Instead, she was just a tad puzzled at their hostility.


    While there were those who condemned her, naturally, there were also people who supported her.


    Some peoplepared her with Sena Young, saying that she at least looked far kinder besides having


    taken such good care of Ian. Thus, they had no objections as long as Ian liked her.


    Also, some were probably anti-fans, and they used Ian’s background as fodder. They imed that it


    was actually pretty fitting for him to be with a girl from an ordinary family considering the fact that he


    was an illegitimate child. Suchments mocked her and Ian both.


    Cindy herself wasn’t really bothered, but she was a touch curious as to whether Ian would be saddened


    when he saw thesements. After all, his identity was considered a stain, although it wasn’t his stain.


    Rather, it was a stain belonging to Old Mr. Morgan, Bryce Morgan, and Ian’s mother. Why does Ian


    have to bear the infamy of their wrongdoing?


    Putting away her cell phone, she then got up to walk around. Just after taking a few steps, she caught


    sight of a celebritying over with her assistant. The celebrity kept a very high profile, having two


    assistants as well as two bodyguards beside her. I don’t quite understand why she needs bodyguards.


    The set has been cleared, so there isn’t any need for two bodyguards to escort her. But well, that’s a


    big shot for you! She didn’t dare stare or ask questions.


    Unexpectedly, the celebrity abruptly stopped mid-stride. Turning her head, she noticed Cindy and said


    something to the assistant beside her. The assistant then nodded and answered in a rather loud voice,


    ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    “Yes, that’s her.” At this, the celebrity chuckled before going on her way.


    Cindy could tell that the chuckle was definitely malicious. It’s probably another snub at Ian because of


    my background. Well, this is the entertainment industry whereby people tter the powerful and scorn


    the lowly. If I were a boss with resources, people might flock over and ingratiate themselves to me.


    Nheless, I don’t give a whit about that. She snorted. After doing so, she felt much better.


    She then strolled around before seeing a few assistants chatting, probably assistants of the celebrity


    guests. One of them hurried over at the sight of her. “Ms. Selby!” Cindy was startled. I’m not a celebrity,


    so why is she showing me such deference? Still, she stood there and looked at the approaching girl.


    The girl was about her age, appearing harmless with a bright smile on her face.
