Chapter 1624
"David gave them to me before."
Never did she expect that David would show up in the same pair. It was all a coincidence, but to the
fans online, it was proof positive they were an item.
Arabe scrolled through a list the fans hadpiled, outlining the ten pieces of ''evidence'' that they
were dating. One point was about a fan noticing the way David looked at her while singing - full of
adoration, his smile brimming with affection.
And then there were fans saying, [Do you know who Summer is? Big shots in the industry can''t even
invite her over, so how does David swing it? Because they''ve got to be dating, that''s how! Otherwise,
why would David spend an entire night clearing up rumors for her about lip-syncing and giarism.
He''s got no obligation! They''ve got to be hiding something!!]
Arabe was almost convinced by their deductions, especially when someone zoomed in on the in-ear
monitor she wore while singing.
[I''m David’s die-hard fan, and I recognize those in-ears! That''s David''s favorite set - the pair he
treasures most! I can''t believe he''d let Summer use them.]
[Their rtionship must be pretty tight.]
Arabe was at a loss for words. She had been ast-minute recement onstage and hadn''t brought
her own in-ears - was borrowing David''s really such a crime???
And then there were the countless fans who swooned over that hug on stage, iming it was the kind
of embrace only real lovers would share.
Next, they dissected the eyes beneath Summer''s mask, saying, "Those clear bright eyes, so full of life
and grace, they could only belong to a young girl, not some older woman past her prime!!"
So, they excitedly begged Summer to drop the mask and for her and David to go public with their
romance - both their fan bases would celebrate.
"You and David are really trending mas; anything you do hits the hot topics." Louisa knew all too
well that fame came with its baggage, "Thankfully, no one knows you''re Summer and Summer is you.
Otherwise, you''d have reporters camping at our doorstep. That would make life pretty inconvenient."
As Louisa peeled an egg for her daughter, she added, "David used to avoiding home often, just so
he wouldn''t disturb the family."
Arabe hadn''t realized David''s fame came at such a cost, keeping him from home.
Meanwhile, Serena sent a message to Erik, eager to gauge her parents'' mood.
Relying solely on Betty for updates wasn''t enough - Erik was the family''s butler, and since Martha left,
he was the one who truly knew their parents'' thoughts.
She chose her words carefully, hit send, and clutched her phone tightly, waiting. Soon after, the phone
vibrated.
[Ms. Serena, at this point, there''s no use in me keeping secrets.]
Serena''s heart sank as she read Erik''s message. The vibe from her parents didn''t seem warm.
[The skincare you bought for Mrs. Collins with your prize money, she''s stopped using it. Instead, she''s
switched to the Ar-Bl-Clear Group series gifted by Ms. Arabe. As you know, Ms. Arabe is the
founder of the Ar-Bl-Clear Group skincare line.]
Serena''s fingernails dug into her palm. This news had even reached Erik. If he knew that Arabe was
behind Ar-Bl-Clear Group, then surely the lower servants were cozying up to Arabe, hoping she''d
help them look more beautiful? Arabe must have been doling out skincare products to win them over.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.
Thinking this, Serena felt a surge of resentment towards Arabe''s underhandedness.
[Also, the massage chair you got for Mr. Collins with your pianopetition winnings, he used to love
it, and had it in his room. Last night, it was moved to storage.]
[What are you saying? Why?] Serena was too shock to believe; she typed the message with trembling
hands.
[Mr. Collins imed the massage chair broke, saying it was ufortable and even gave off electric
shocks. But I think it''s because Ms. Arabe gave him a new one, and that''s why the old one was
discarded.]
