Chapter 288
Eugene, with his long legs and an arm wrapped around the slender beauty's back, made his way directly to the food.
John was puzzled and asked, "Is Mr. Sharp really henpecked! This lady doesn't seem familiar, not like some celebrity. Have I just been out of the Joop!
Philip remembered seeing Madeline once at the hot springs mountain retreat and reminded John nicely, "Mr. Sharp isn't a henpecked. He treats Madeline like he's nothing without her. And it seems like Madeline has quite a few admirers. Even though Mr. Sharp does everything he can to win berover, it doesn't seem like he can keep her loyal"
John was curious and asked, "Do you know something? Why did you say she isn't loyal?"
Philip said, "You won't believe what happened last time we were at the hot springs with Mr. Sharp. There was a big group of us, bold! She was there alone with a handsome young man-just the two of them. What do you think they were up to!" but Madeline was
Philip lowered his voice and continued, "The most outrageous part? After Mr. Sharp rushed over, all three of them ended up soaking in the hot spring together."
John's eyes widened with shock, as if he'd just heard the most surprising news ever. "How come I've never heard about this?" asked John.
Philip said, "Who would dare spread rumors about Mr. Sharp like that? Don't be fooled by his charming and wild demeanor. It's true that he attracts all the young tenermet celebrities, one after another, but you know what, he's not someone you want to mess with. Phillip took a sip of his drink, his
gaze lingering in Eugene's direction.
Philip added. "His darling probably isn't from a well-known family. She seems unfamiliar to me. I heard she's an actress, just a small-time one, not really famous
John couldn't help but look over there, wondering, 'A small-time actress with no connections, yet she has Eugene wrapped around her finger! She looks pure and unobtainable, but who knows she's such a siren? You really can't judge a book by its cover! Eugene is quite the catch in our circles. So many people are eager to befriend him, yet he's turned out to be quite the cuckold!'
Eugene sensed someone watching him. But then again, he realized he was always the king of parties, so it wasn't unusual for many eyes to be on him. Besides, he brought a partner with him tonight,Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Eugene placed his hand on Madeline's shoulder, his thumb gently rubbing her smooth neck, and he asked, "Do you like cupcakes, Maddie? I remember when you were little, you had a sweet tooth. Back then, I'd often use candies to win you over, but it caused one of your teeth to fall out, and

Every time he reminisced about these memories, they filled him with warmth,
Even the cold, unbearable past appeared illuminated by bright light, making Eugene's childhood seem less completely immersed in darkness. However, Madeline looked up and asked with confusion, I really don't remember. Maybe I always have a bad memory. Did you often give me

Eugene patted Madeline's head and said, "That's right. It's okay if you've forgotten. I'll remember everything for you"
Madeline said. Then you can tell me about it. This time, I won't forget."
Eugene's long eyelashes cast a shadow as he lowered his gaze, and he said, "I'll tell you e

But no one had any evidence.
It was unclear whether Eugene was simply adept at keeping his private life hidden or if he was genuinely as blameless as he appeared, leaving not room for gossip.
Rose was a prominent figure in the entertainment industry, boasting over 10 million followers on Twitter. She frequently landed roles as the second female lead in high-budget productions.
Chelsea York tilted her head and looked over, her bright eyes showing a bit of confusion, and she said, "I've seen that woman before. I think she was an extra in our cast and got her head hurt. I'm not sure; let me take a closer look. It must be her because I remember everyone saying how attractive
that extra was.
Hearing this, Rose was confused and asked, "When did that happen? How could an extra be with Mr. Sharp"
Rose couldn't believe it and asked Chelsea, "Are you kidding me? Do you think Mr. Sharp isn't selective about his choices? How could he choose the inferior ones on purpose?
"That was quite a while ago, but I did post it on Instagram." Chelsea took out her phone and scrolled through Instagram for a long time.
Then Chelsea said, "Look, here it is."
Chelsea shared in her post: [I feel really sorry for the extras. It truly tugs at my heartstrings. Acting is tough and very risky. You all need to protect yourselves! Strive to achieve more and never settle for being an extra-it's just too hard to work in that role.
This Instagram post included nine photos. The last one showed a woman injured and lying in a pool of blood, while the other eight were selfies of Chelsea at the accident scene.
Rose couldn't help but ask with shock, "Did you take selfies at a scene like that?"
"I was just cautioning myself, you know? Reminding myself not to end up like that extra. If I were successful, things like that would never happen to me!" Chelsea said confidently.
Chelsea suspiciously glanced over at Madeline and said, "I really don't know what tricks that extra has used over the past couple of years to get so close to Mr. Sharp. I haven't run into her since then. She probably didn't last too long in the industry. She probably just used the title of actress to sneak into high-end parties like this, trying to hook up with Mr. Sharp!
Listening to Chelsea's words, Rose felt very frustrated. People used to say Eugene was out of reach, with very high standards.
So Rose deliberately didn't make a move, acting all aloof like some unattainable queen. It had been so long, but she hadn't even talked to Eugene.
It turned out those rumors were false.
Unwilling to give up, Rose held her wine glass and walked over to Eugene. She thought, "What tricks could an extra have! She's just trying any means necessary to get close to Mr. Sharp. I am a stunning beauty and a well-known actress in the industry, so if I approached Mr. Sharp and showed interest in him, he would probably fall for me soon!
Eugene was standing beside Madeline, his gaze turning icy when he heard the clacking of high heels nearby. Rose smiled and said, "Good evening, Mr. Sharp. I'm Rose Johansen. Would you like to join me for a drink?"
