    However, the middle-aged man knew exactly what Hugh was asking.


    "Mr. Lincoln, thedy is already here, just outside the restaurant. I asked her to wait there like you told me to," he said.


    "Let her in," Hughmanded with a hint of anger in his voice. Chelsea had a feeling she knew what wasing next.


    The man stepped out, and a few minutester, he came back with a woman.


    Lucy recognized her right away. She was the new actress who had be super popr recently! She yed a sweet character in a movie earlier this year and became a big hit overnight.


    Chelsea got it in a sh. This woman was the one behind the misunderstanding between her and Hugh.


    That new star, who had shot to fame at the start of the year, was always trying to make friends with rich bosses and agents at parties, hoping tond bigger roles. Recently, she had her eyes on Hugh.


    However, she never guessed that Hugh''s heart was as unyielding as steel, and he did not seem to care about her at all. Even when she tried her best, Hugh just would not nce her way.


    She knew Hugh was taken, but that did not bother her. If she could just get a boost from Hugh to get ahead, all her efforts would be worth it. Hence, after some big shots got Hugh drunk that night, she sneakily left a kiss mark on his cor.


    She had only meant it as a bit of mischief, hoping Hugh would remember her a little. However, to her surprise, Hugh''s driver called her the next day. She was thrilled and hurried to Charleston, only to find that things were not quite as she expected.

    "Tell me, was it you who was with me that night?"


    The actress felt a chill, sensing trouble.


    Hugh was gripping Chelsea''s hand and would not let go. The actress realized Chelsea was Hugh''s girlfriend and suddenly felt scared to admit what she had done,


    "Mr. Lincoln... I think you''re confused. I didn''t interact with you that day!"


    However, Hugh''s driver quickly


    challenged her, "Miss, you said on the phone that you knew Mr. Lincoln and that you were with him that night. Why deny it now?"


    The actress turned white as a sheet. "But I really don''t know Mr. Lincoln!"


    She kept denying it, so the driver decided it was time to y his ace.


    "If you''re not ready toe clean, I''ve got a recording right here. It''s from our phone call. Take a listen."


    The actress was in a panic. She never imagined the driver to secretly record their entire conversation. Caught red-handed, the actress did not know what to do. "Mr. Lincoln, it wasn''t on purpose! I just..." Hugh was getting frustrated.

    antics along with a lipstick mark that seemed like a joke-had almost made him split up with Chelsea.


    Hugh said harshly, "I know why you came to me. You were after a bigger role to shoot you to stardom, right?"
