Today, he was eerily quiet.
After a while, the sound of music from the outside faded.
It was at this mont that human voices beca particularly jarring.
"Holy crap, Hannah Winter is pregnant?"
"Is that true?"
"It’s freaking trending, do you think I’d lie to you?"
When that person left, he forgot to close the door; without obstruction, their voices carried into the inner room, resonating with each word.
For outsiders, the words fell to the ground, but for George River, they struck his heart.
The frozen lake in his heart shattered into pieces.
In that instant, a searing rage interwove with a bone-chilling hatred.
A prolonged silence ensued.
Before the people inside could snap out of it, George River stood up and left.
The others in the outer room were taken aback for a second upon seeing George River erge suddenly, especially when they caught sight of the icy expression on his face, they instinctively hushed down.
For these rich second-generations, the celebrity circle wasn’t sothing noble or rare; they often organized events with celebrities clamoring to attend.
But Hannah was different.
Even without ntioning that she was Arnold Simmons’ fiancée, there were plenty of rich heirs in the circle who admired her.
George River was one of them.
The complications between the two couldn’t be fully explained in tens of thousands of words.
But no matter what, Hannah was already with Arnold Simmons.
Now they’re even about to have a child.
Apart from blessings, what else could one offer? No one would dare to entertain any other thoughts, as nobody could afford to provoke Jimmy Simmons of the Simmons Family.
Nevertheless, judging by George River’s appearance, he evidently had not let go.
Finally, soone from the inner room snapped out of it, clearing the awkward silence with a strained courage, "Director River, why have you co out?"
George River ignored him, his gaze landing on a rich second-generation with dyed green hair sitting on the couch.
Soone from his family was involved in the entertainnt industry and always got wind of gossip a bit earlier than others.
The news of Hannah’s pregnancy had first been called out by him.
Now, under George River’s scrutiny, the rich kid with green hair felt intimidated, swallowing hard before addressing him, "Director River, is there sothing you need?"
Just as he thought George River was about to demand an explanation, the man walked away.
Ignoring everyone, he simply headed straight out the door.
The crowd breathed a sigh of relief, but the earlier recklessness was gone; although curious, they only dared to inquire in whispers.
The green-haired rich kid was quite scared and cursed under his breath after everyone left.
The person who had gone out before retreated back into the inner room again, and this ti, he rembered to close the door.
He even asked Jimmy Simmons if he should go out and check on things.
Jimmy Simmons laughed, "Chase? They’re eagerly lining up to play the fool, and you surely can’t stop them, can you?"
That remark hit the nail on the head.
But such teasing was sothing only Jimmy Simmons could get away with saying; the others simply laughed along politely.
Jimmy Simmons bowed his head, fiddling with a lighter in his hand, his thumb lightly rubbing the wheel, his voice inexplicably carrying a chill, "Is she really pregnant?"
The group exchanged glances, finally pushing soone forward to respond to the question.
"Actually, it’s hard to say for sure, the dia nowadays loves to sensationalize things, it might not be true."
If it were true, according to their relationship, Jimmy Simmons would actually be the uncle to the child.
Quite a strange relationship...
Uncertain of Jimmy Simmons’ true feelings, they stepped forward again to smooth things over.
"Nowadays, marketing accounts just write anything they think of, a single photo can lead to dozens of stories; they shouldn’t be taken seriously."
"Yeah, yeah, it’s all those people spreading rumors."
