2025-04-11 20:20:54Claudia rolled her eyes and burst out laughing. She? Lonely? Her mother really is funny! How can she think of her as lonely? She is Claudia Kingston! She has lots of fans everywhere! Immediately she steps out of this house, there are people everywhere who will do everything to suck up to her! And her mother still thinks that she is lonely? What a joke! "I am not lonely mom! Just because I don't have a man in my life doesn't mean that I am lonely! I just do not need it. I absolutely do not need it. That doesn't mean that I am lonely. I am fine the way I am. Stop pestering me!" Claudia said.
Rose was standing by the couch staying away from thier conversation. She was just browsing through her phone but then something caught her attention. Ross was completely shocked. She immediately passed her phone to Claudia. "Claudia what is this?! What are these people saying? You are in a relationship with who?! RichardThompson?!"
Claudia took the phone from Rose. She could not believe what she was seeing. She is in a relationship? Claudia took a second look at the person in the pictures. It was that crazy man that had gotten into her car. Claudia could figure out what had happened now. The pictures were taken when she entered the car and when that person entered. Another one was taken as he left. A reporter or paparazzi must have been stalking her! What the hell is this?
Claudia was really angry now. She was even thinking that that person had something to do with it! He kept telling her to take him somewhere, she should have figured it out! "What the hell is this? I am not in a relationship with anyone! This crazy person, I am definitely going to find him and make him pay for this! Who does he think that he is messing with right now?!" Claudia yelled. She was really angry. Ever since she started her career years ago, she had never had a single scandal. Just who is this crazy person?
Rose took her phone back from Claudia. She looked at the man in the picture again. She was sure of it! This is RichardThompson! The CEO of thier agency! How did Claudia get involved with a person like this? What really is going on? These pictures must have been taken when she was away. One was taken when Claudia entered the car, then when Richardentered and when he left. for someone watching, they were definitely in a relationship they were meeting in secret!
But Rose has been with Claudia for years ago. She has never even met RichardThompson before. So how can she be in a relationship with him? But he did enter her car, could it be that Claudia has been keeping it away from her? But she is her manager! "Claudia, these pictures, it shows that he really entered your car, and then he left. What is really going on? Where do you know him from? Why did he enter your car and leave?" Rose asked. If she was going to resolve this, Claudia will need to tell her everything that was going on on.
Claudia looked at Rose. She seemed like she knows something. Why is she asking her this question? She doesn't know that crazy person at all! He is just an idoit that got into her car and demanded a ride from her! In fact, Claudia suspected that he had something to do with this. He and the person who took the picture are definitely working together! He got into her car so that whoever took the picture can get a chance to start a rumour with jt.! She definitely is not going to let him go. Once she finds him, she is definitely going to sue.
"What do you mean by where I know him from? I don't know him from anywhere! He is just a crazy person! He got into my car and demanded that I give him a ride! Why will I give someone like that a ride? I'm telling you Rose that person is completely crazy person! I think that he has something to do with this incident! I should have known that something was going on! I totally let him fool him! I'm going to find him and I'm going to make sure to sue him!" Claudia said. She was really serious. If anything, her career was the only thing she took seriously. It was the only thing that she had anyway.
Rose looked at Claudia closely. She had guessed it before. But she did not know that it was actually going to be true. Claudia doesn't know RichardThompson at all! Then that means that there is no way that the rumour is true. A paparazzi had just taken a picture and wrote a story with it. But that still does not explain why he was in her car. Claudia said that he asked her to give him a ride, why will he need a ride from Claudia? Ross had heard the rumours about Ryder. A rich spoilt heir that does not take his company seriously!
So what is he doing in Claudia's car? Is it that he recognized her? Rose could not just figure out what was going on. "Claudia, that person that got in your car, you really don't know who he is right? He is RichardThompson. He is the CEO of our agency. That's right. His father is the chairman. But it's understandable that you don't know him. He is not always in the company and its not as if he does ant real work anyway" Rose said. Rose really had questions that she wanted to ask but she held herself back. She did not want to upset Claudia.
Claudia looked at Rose. That person is the CEO of Helian Entertainment?! So he wasn't lying when he told her that he is the CEO?! Claudia never imagined that he was telling the truth then! So he really is the CEO of Helian Entertainment! Because of Rose, Claudia had also heard a few of the rumours. A rich spoilt heir that does whatever he wants, that was the image that he had. But what would the CEO of Helian Entertainment be doing in her car! And he even went as far as he saying that he does not know her!
Does that even make any sense? How does the CEO of Helain Entertainment not know thier biggest celebrity? Is it even possible? Did Rose make a mistake? "Are you sure about what you are telling me? That he really is the CEO of our agency? But why will the CEO of Helian Entertainment not know me?! You know what he said? That he does not know me at all! Is there anyone in this country who doesn't know me?! But the CEO of my agency said that he does not know me!" Claudia said. Maybe she would never be able to get past it.
Vivian had been listening to Claudia and Rose ever since they started talking. Apparently, she got into a scandal with some man. Vivian brought out her phone and checked the news. Claudia and a man were seen entering her car and then the man left! It was quite obvious that they were in a relationship! Even though nothing was confirmed now, Vivian was happy and full of hope! Does this mean that her daughter actually has a chance with that man? That would be great then!
They even said that he is the CEO of Helain Entertainment! That is Claudia's agency right? This is great! Just great! "Wow Claudia this is just great! If you were in a relationship with someone then you should have told me from the start! Then I did not have to bother myself with finding a blind date for you! This is such great news! Why will you keep it away from me?! So when can I meet this person?" Vivian asked. She looked at his picture again. She could see the reason why Claudia said that Raymond could not pass as handsome now! This young man really has good looks!
Claudia rolled her eyes. She could not be bothered to deal with her mother. Could she not hear what she and Rose have been talking about? She does not know that person at all! "Do you not hear what we've been talking about? I don't know this person at all! How am I supposed to be in a relationship with someone that I don't know at all!" Claudia asked. It was already annoying enough that he is the CEO of her agency. Can't Vivian get the clue now and leave her alone?
Rose sighed. It seems like Claudia and Vivian does not know what's happening. RichardThompson, he has a history. A history with woman, a very bad history. "Well, Claudia, it seems that you don't know this person really well. RichardThompson, he has a history with women. He is a player through and through. He is just another rich spoiled heir who only knows how to spend money" Rose said this for Vivian to hear. Even though there was something, she will never approve of it. Richardand Claudia, the both of them can never be a match
Claudia rolled her eyes. What is Rose trying to tell? He is a player? What does that have to do with her? She does not care at all! CEO or not, as far as she is concerned, he is just a crazy person who got into a car and demanded a ride from her. And now to make matters worse, he had caused such a huge problem for her. In all her career, she had never encountered something like this before. She had never been in a scandal like this before. She definitely won't accept him causing this trouble for her.
If he is a CEO, he should know how to be responsible for his aritsts right? What the hell does he think that he is doing right now? "What are you trying to tell me? So what if he has a history? What has that got to do with me? I don't care at all! It's just that I'm in a bad situation because of this person! Contact the agency and find out how they plan to deal with this!" Claudia said. She was really annoyed now.
Peter Thompson, was in his office pacing up and down. He had just seen the news too. Claudia and Ryder?! How is this even possible? He was already used to having Richardcause trouble for him with all kinds of women but this time did this son of his have to involve Claudia?! What does he want to do? He had asked Matt to go get him because he wanted to have a good talk with him and ask him to take his duties seriously but instead he had gotten into trouble again and this time he had involved Claudia! When did the both of them even meet?
However Matt and Richardhave no way of knowing what was happening right now. The both of them walked through the company. Matt could sense that people were looking at Richardand talking but Richarddid not notice it at all. Matt knew that something was wrong. Maybe when they get to the Chairman's office, they would find out what is happening. What kind of trouble has Richardcausesd this time? What did he do? He really wanted to ask the employees of the company but Matt held himself back. He would just find out when they got to the Chairman's office.
Matt and Richardentered the office. Richardcould see that his father was already pacing up and down. What happened? "What do you want from me? Why did you ask Matt to come get me?" Richardasked.
Peter glared at his son. "What the hell is the meaning of this?" Peter asked and threw a tablet to him.

You should talk to him about it" Rose said gloating at Clinton.Even though she did not remember who this person was, she could see that he was trying to help her. She was even more smug now. This person won't be able to do anything to her."Boyfriend?!" Clinton exclaimed. It seemed that be had been hitting on someone's woman and asking her to spend the night with him?!

Rose was still engrossed in reading the news when she felt someone sit down beside her. She rasied her eyes and saw a man smiling at her.He even sat down next to her without her permission. Rose rolled her eyes. Is this guy trying to flirt with her right now? She definitely wasn't in the mood to do this."Hi....I can sit here right?" The man asked. He seemed to have a lot of confidence in his charm."If I say no, are you going to get lost?" Rose said.The man was obviously surprised. He wasn't expecting her to react like this.Rose rolled her eyes when she saw the suprise on his face. Did he think that she was going to be charmed if he did something like this? Whatever.

In fact, he was much more determined now. It seemed that it had become some kind of challenge for him."I see. Anyway, my name is Clinton. I th

Immediately they entered the room, Richardwas pushed back. He looked at his hands, not being able to hug her like before, he suddenly felt a sense of loss. Wait, why does he even feel this way? He shook his head. He had to clear his mind."You ....what do you think that you were doing?!" Claudia yelled. One word popped in her mind to describe the man in front of her and that was the fact that he was a pervert!"What did I do?" Richardasked nonchalantly. When it came to acting shamelessly, there really was no one who could beat him up to it."You.. you were clearly taking advantage of me!" Claudia said."So...?" He asked raising an eyebrow. At least, he did not regret it. Her waist .. it was soft to the touch!"Pervert!" Claudia spat out the word in her mind."Pervert? Since you are already accusing me, I should act like one right?" Richardasked.Claudia felt her face go red. She had always been the one embarrassing people with her words. She was suddenly faced with a completely shamel

That was sure.Claudia sneered. "immediately you saw my mother, you addressed her as mother. When did the both of you get so close? Is it because you don't have any intention of breaking up with me and you already got close to her?" Claudia asked with a smile on her face."...."Once again, Richardwas mercilessly defeated!

This came as a surprise to Peter!Claudia spoke up, "No matter what, I'm not going to do it!

Matt took it from him and Peter lit another one.Matt could not help asking, "sir, why did you make Richardand Claudia get Married? It's not because of the scandal right? You have another reason right? What's it?""You figured it out?" He asked him.Matt smiled knowingly. He knew that for Peter to be this serious about the marriage and to agree like this, he was probably thinking about something. Thinking about how he led Richardto believe that Claudia had feelings for him yesterday, he was in a wonderful mood. After all, people who were watching from the sides were never afriad of the matter blowing up!Peter said, "Sigh, I really don't know what to do about this son of mine.

He was nervous at first but when he thought about the fact that she probably likes him, he calmed down.She should be happy that he was touching her like this right?He was preparing to apologise before but he held himself back. Why should he apologize to her? Sbe did like him right? If she likes him then she should be open about her feelings...after all they were so many women who liked him. She did not have to pretend and act coy in front of him."What are you shouting for?" Richardasked with a lazy look on his face.Claudia "...." For a few seconds, she was speechless. She thought that he was going to apologise after she caught him doing such perverted things to her. But he did not apologise! She had been preparing herself

Ryder, you had better watch out from now on!"Claudia, what you are saying is that you wee going to make things difficult for him from now on?" Rose asked to be double sure."Of course.

In that split second, he made a decision."The both of you will get married!" He said.Claudia and Richardgot up at once. "What?!" They both yelled at the same time. Never in thier life did they think that the matter was going to blow up like this. What did he mean by getting Married?Claudia was angry? She did not want to have anything to do with this person after today, so why is she suddenly getting married? Does this even make any sense? She could not accept it.
