Chapter 504 ying up to the Rich and Powerful


    Peter had felt both happy and resigned since his niece found someone she loved.


    He was happy because he knew that his niece had grown up. Yet, what made him feel resigned was


    Max’s status.


    Although the Thomsons and the Scotts were well off in Capital, they were still a far cry from the four


    most distinguished families.


    Peter didn’t want Lily to marry a man who was much more wealthy and powerful. After all, not any


    ordinary woman could be with someone like Max.


    Nevertheless, Lily was bent on winning Max’s heart. Thus, even though Peter was her uncle, he could


    not do anything about it.


    Any girl in love would be somewhat irrational. But when she became more mature after a few years,


    she would not be so impulsive.


    Thus, regarding Lily’s rtionship with Max, Peter decided to let it run its own course.


    Today, when he suddenly received Lily’s message, he told his friend jokingly, “Look, my niece’s finally


    no longer head over heels in love and starts to miss her uncle.”


    Lately, Peter had been preparing for the shooting of No Coming Back. He even skipped a grand


    meeting in the industry because of it.


    After Max and Lily’s disputes were revealed, Max employed all kinds of means to block the news the


    next day.


    More importantly, no one dared to bring this matter up to upset Peter. Thus, Peter was still in the dark.


    Seeing him so ted, Peter’s friend could only give a fewughs and echoed, “Yeah, it’s great.”


    He wasn’t very close to Peter, so he didn’t dare to inform Peter of that matter.


    In the entertainment field, Peter was known for his short temper and over-protectiveness.


    “If Peter is irked by the news, he might vent his spleen on me. I don’t wanna be the target for no


    reason,” Peter’s friend thought.


    Peter hadn’t contacted his beloved niece for quite a while. Thus, when he got her message, he was so


    happy to notice that his friend seemed eager to say something but stopped on second thought.


    Because he didn’t pick up the hint, he was staggered by his niece’s haggard look when they met.


    Peter sat down beside Lily, ced a hand on her shoulder, and asked in a worried tone, “Lily, what


    happened?”


    Lily finally saw the uncle that doted on her very much. At the sight of her family, she felt warmth in her


    heart.


    Besides, she had had a rough timetely. So she puckered up her lips and cried harder.


    At this, Peter felt heartbroken.


    Lily was his little princess since she was a child.


    Now seeing that she was crying so hard, Peter thought she must’ve been bullied.


    Peter never dared to say anything harsh to her. But now…


    Seeing her weeping so sadly, Peter felt a sudden upsurge of rage.


    “Lily, what on earth has happened?” Peter said with a bit of exasperation. “Did Max cheat on you?”


    Peter vowed inwardly that if Max did treat Lily badly, he would risk losing all the connections he had


    gathered in the entertainment field over the years to make him pay the price!


    Lily knew this uncle always pampered her.


    When she heard Peter’s question, she already knew what Peter was thinking about.


    At first, she intended to rat Max out on Peter. But after knowing his thought, Lily dared not speak ill of


    Max.


    It was true that Max had betrayed her.


    She certainly wanted to do something to vex him.


    But if her uncle decided to fight Max to the bitter end…


    Frankly, Lily felt she shouldn’t let her uncle ruin all the resources and connections he had earned over


    the years just for this.


    After sobbing for a while, Lily knew what she should do.


    She couldn’t goad her uncle into making trouble for Max. That would be too unfair for her uncle.


    She’d better make life more difficult for Laura instead.


    This way, Laura would have a hard time, but Peter wouldn’t have to make any sacrifices. Most


    importantly, Max loved Laura. Lily would like to see what Max would do if Laura was bullied.


    At this thought, Lily suddenly cried out loud.


    That startled Peter.


    Seeing Lily choke on her sobs, Peter felt heart-wrenched.


    “Oh, Lily, don’t cry.” Peter coaxed her immediately.


    While he was racking his brains to figure out who had made his beloved niece so sad, Lily suddenly


    said who that person was herself.


    “Uncle, Laura Davies bullied me…”


    Laura Davies?


    Peter was a little stunned when he first heard the name.


    Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    “Who is Laura Davies? Is that a second-rate celebrity?” he wondered.


    Then, he recalled that he once had a meal with Isaac.


    During the meal, Isaac received a phone call. He casually asked who called him. Someone at the table


    said it was Isaac’s fiancée, Laura Davies.


    Thinking of this, Peter asked Lily, “You mean Isaac’s fiancée?”


    Lily was taken aback. She then wept a little and nodded.


    Peter’s brows were instantly knitted. He asked, “What happened?”


    Lily bowed her head and pouted with grievances. A trace of viciousness fleeted across her eyes. Then,


    she told Peter her edited version of what happened that night.


    ording to her ount, Laura was a total slut. Though she already had Isaac, she still shamelessly


    wanted to hook up with Max.


    In her story, Max had also be a lustful and fickle jerk.


    Peter was furious.


    “That bastard! You gave him all your love and attention. You even cold-shouldered me because of him.


    And I didn’t me him. But now he’s betrayed you for such a promiscuous woman! What is he


    thinking?”


    Seeing this, through her sobs, Lily quicklyforted Peter, “Peter, it’s fine. It’s all Laura’s fault. She’s


    too… She’s hot and beautiful. Anyone would be attracted by her.”


    Hearing Lily’s words, Peter was even angrier.


    Peter began to rebuke Laura and Max indignantly. Lily then tried to persuade him not to me them.


    Just then, Peter received a call.


    “Mr. Scott, the female lead has been cast. It’s the investor’s decision. Anyway, that actress is truly a


    professional.”


    “Who is it?” Peter asked, holding back his rage.


    “Laura Davies.”


    Peter narrowed his eyes. With a coldugh, he said, “OK.”


    The staff member on the other side of the phone was a little baffled. He didn’t know why Peter sounded


    so mad.


    But he didn’t take it to heart. He just assumed that Peter was in a bad mood.


    After Peter hung up, he checked the cast list and the cast’s file a staff member just sent to his phone.


    On the page of the female lead, he saw Laura’s name in the big font. A cold smile curled up his lips.


    Peter showed Laura’s photo to Lily and said, “Lily, is she the woman that you’re talking about?”


    Lily nced at the name of the show, which made her shudder in shock.


    “No Coming Back? That hot story?” she thought to herself in surprise.
