The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan! Chapter 273: Feelings
Paige Sterling encouraging Chloe Hughes to stir up trouble made Chloe’s face turn green.
This wasn’t what she wanted to see.
"Ms. Hughes, go on and cause trouble, I’m waiting for your good news."
Chloe, "...", she had already threatened Paige like this, and Paige didn’t take it seriously?
Luckily, she ca prepared today, Chloe quickly called out to Paige again.
"Paige! You don’t care about your reputation and how The Hawthorne Family views you, but don’t you care that you’ll have a half-brother competing with you for inheritance?"
Sure enough, Paige stopped in her tracks.
Chloe laughed inwardly, how could Paige be willing to watch a half-brother co to snatch her inheritance?
"Aunt knows you certainly don’t want your stepmother to have another brother. You help Aunt, and Aunt will help you, absolutely won’t let that child co into this world, nor will anyone suspect you. You don’t need to do anything, and you can get rid of your worry, how about it?"
Paige laughed coldly, "Indeed, soone with a head full of worms sees everything as crap."
She truly felt sad for Yvette Hughes, always treating Chloe with sincerity, yet when Chloe wanted to sell her out, she didn’t spare any thought for their sisterly bond.
Chloe saw Paige’s cold smile and felt a bit helpless.
She had even brought out such a bargaining chip, indicating she’d clear obstacles for Paige, yet Paige still refused?
What exactly does she an?
Chloe was furious, knowing Paige wasn’t lacking money either, those formulas in her hands weren’t of much use, rely icing on the cake.
However, to her beauty salon, they were a lifesaving redy, yet Paige simply refused to lend a helping hand.
Such a heartless person really isn’t fit to be her niece.
Since Paige has been this excessive, she didn’t need to be polite either, planning to expose these matters online, letting fans know just how unkind Paige is in real life.
Chloe audaciously planned, vowing to use this affair to propel Paige to trend, then her salon could tag along with the popularity.
But Chloe never expected, she thought she could create an earth-shattering event, it was rely her own misunderstanding.
The real situation was that her online exposé didn’t cause even a ripple, no one cared at all.
Because there had been too many habitual critics of Paige, but those people eventually got their faces slapped hard.
So now, when there is any exposé or black rumor about Paige online, no one believes it.
Paige’s fans staunchly refuse to give these haters any recognition, completely ignoring such posts.
Instead, the posts praising Paige have a flood of Rainbow-like fawning below them.
Usually, marketing accounts only have objective numbers in clicks, reads, and comnts when exposing celebrity scandals.
Yet unexpectedly, this rule has reversed for Paige.
Now, if you say anything about Paige’s black history online, it barely gets any clicks.
However, as soon as you praise Paige, loads of people click in, joining in and showering her with complints below.
Evidently, Chloe hasn’t yet realized this.
She underestimated the resilience of Paige’s fan base after enduring trials, and overestimated her own influence online.
Unable to deal with Paige, Chloe couldn’t sleep well for a few days.
And right after Skylar Hughes got discharged, the first thing she did was go find Faye Hawthorne.
"Aunt Acker, I’m Skylar, do you rember ?", Skylar’s face looked pale, with an appearance of just recovering from sickness, looking very pitiful.
Faye Hawthorne didn’t expect to see Skylar, feeling a bit awkward.
"Miss Hughes, I was inconsiderate in what I did before which led to your misunderstanding. If you need any compensation, feel free to speak up.", she knew Skylar ca for previous matters.
Skylar gave a pale smile.
"Aunt Acker, it’s okay, I’m not angry, nor do I need any compensation."
Faye sowhat doubted, "Are you sure you really don’t need anything?"
If she didn’t need anything, why co to find her?
At these tis, Skylar naturally wouldn’t let short-term benefits make Faye look down on her.
"Aunt Acker, I really don’t need anything."
Since she said so determinedly, Faye couldn’t possibly insist.
She was about to leave when Skylar spoke again, "But Aunt Acker, could you do a favor?"
Faye sighed inwardly, sure enough, Skylar’s visit wasn’t that simple.
"What kind of favor?"
Skylar lowered her head slightly, "Julian and I have so things we need to discuss privately, but I haven’t had the chance. Aunt Acker, could you create an opportunity for us to be alone..."
Faye looked troubled, thinking it might not be appropriate to do so?
"Aunt Acker, please, I really have no other intentions; I just plan to discuss things with Julian Hawthorne..."
Faye Hawthorne wasn’t aware of the situation between Skylar and Julian.
Looking at her nephew, he seed like nothing was wrong.
But seeing Skylar hesitant to speak, there did seem to be so history.
Whether there was or not, Julian is now with Paige, and if Skylar really just wanted to clear things up with Julian and not pester him anymore, it seed okay.
"Alright then, but just this once."
Faye agreed and arranged for Julian to et up.
After work, Julian ca to the place Faye ntioned and opened the door, only to find Skylar.
Julian imdiately turned around expressionlessly to leave.
Skylar stepped forward to hug Julian’s waist but was avoided by Julian.
She could only block the door, stopping Julian, "Julian, you’ve always known my feelings for you, not only you know, Paige knows too, but I never expected my sister, knowing I liked you, still ended up with you. I know you two are together now, I should forget you, but I can’t. Julian, even if I can’t openly be with you, I accept it, just give a chance to stay by your side..."
Julian didn’t say a word, his eyes remaining as cold as ever.
Skylar timidly asked, "Julian, do you think I’m shaless for doing this?"
Skylar expected that seeing her so weak and pitiful, Julian should comfort and feel sorry for her imdiately.
This trick had always worked with other n.
Yet she didn’t expect Julian to nod, saying, "Not just shaless, but despicable."
Skylar’s tear-stricken, pitiful expression froze instantly.
So people insist on seeking rejection, Julian wouldn’t hesitate to say, "Miss Hughes, I’ve made it clear, we aren’t close, please don’t bother anymore."
"No, we can’t be unfamiliar? We’ve t so many tis, we have a telepathic connection, and I’ve always been..."
Julian’s expression remained cold, "I’m not interested in anything about you, you don’t need to tell , and it’s best if you don’t appear in front of , especially not spew nonsense in front of Beau. Hope Miss Hughes can have the basic self-awareness."
After speaking, Julian violently opened the door and walked out.
"Julian don’t go, I don’t believe you’re totally indifferent to . I know you must have your own difficulties, whatever they are, you can tell , we can face them together..."
Skylar chased after him, shouting heartbreakingly, to the uninford it seed like Julian was so heartless jerk.
"Julian don’t go, don’t go..."
