Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 60

This question stumped Austin.

He didn't know how to answer. But fortunately, at this time, the green light lit up, and Austin started the car, feeling a bit relieved.

Filip snorted and closed his eyes again.

On this night, some people rejoiced and some people were sad. Some patients had company and some didn't.

It was already twelve o'clock when they arrived at the empty apartment. Filip raised his hand and threw the medicine aside.

After the drip, he no longer had the fever.

Filip didn't turn on the lights. The whole living room was pitch black, with only the moonlight coming in from the window.

He sat down on the couch, his eyes fell on the cigarette box on the coffee table and he took out a cigarette.

With a "click", the purple-blue flame of the light reflected on his face in the darkness. His eyes reflected the fire, but they were full of coldness.

Filip threw away his phone and leaned back on the couch.

Although the fever was gone, his head still hurt a little.

He sat there, thinking of the way Starry looked at him when she left.

She was so calm as if he was just a passerby.

Filip frowned. He didn't like the way Starry looked at him now. She used to look at him warmly and affectionately.

Someone took picture of Starry and Wyatt in the hospital and posted it online.

Wyatt, as the heir of Shining Stars Entertainment, had always received a lot of attention. Starry had been on the trending list because of her marriage with Filip. Now she was also seen going to the hospital with Wyatt late at night. The news soon went on the trending lists.

Starry and Filip's affairs have not been completely cleared, neither of them talked about it. And now Starry became Wyatt's gossip girlfriend. People were impressed by Starry's means.

Izabella can't stand seeing others speaking ill of Starry. Yet early in the morning, Kayla took a screenshot of the news and posted it on her Facebook, mocking Starry. Izabella was so angry that she argued with them.

Starry woke up and saw the news. She had been discussed during this time and she was used to it.

Edward called early in the morning. Starry understood what he meant and laughed, "Don't worry, I was only offering a helping hand to send him to the hospital."

Edward was relieved. "Oh, shall I tell Catherine?"

Starry brushed her hair, "Yea, ask Catherine to remove the topic."

She didn't care much about these things but the people of the Shining Stars Entertainment might do.

Hanging up the phone, Starry glanced out the window. The weather was nice today.

Last night she slept late, and although she got up late this morning, she felt a headache. She was just not used to sleeping late.

She put her phone on the couch and went into the kitchen to cook.

Haven't slept well, she was not in a good spirit.

Starry took a break after lunch and went to take a nap. After divorcing Filip, her voice was much flatter.

Compared to Starry's laid-back life, Lucia had a very bad time these days.

After she exposed the thing between Filip and Starry the day before yesterday, she went to the Pearson residence to apologize but was kicked out. Then the Eternal Group announced to stop the cooperation with the Scott Group after it expires in June.

The Eternal Group and the Scott Group had been working together for nearly a decade, and now they suddenly stopped cooperation, not to mention others, even people inside the Scott Group got panic.

When Henry heard the news, his face turned pale. He couldn't speak for a while.

Apparently, it was Frances' order.

The Scott family and the Pearson family had been friends for so many years, although not intimate, they had been cooperating well on the business. Yet now, all was ruined.

The Pearson family had a big business. The Scott family gained a lot through working with them.

Now that the cooperation was broken, the Scott Group had less support. The economic situation was not very good recently, thinking of this, Henry had a headache.

He canceled the meeting in the afternoon and went home.

Lucia was watching the news about Starry and Wyatt. She made a fake account, wanting to make trouble for Starry.

Before she started, the discussions about Starry and Wyatt were suppressed. The news dropped down the trending list very soon.

Lucia was hesitating whether to find someone to hype it up. But after the events before yesterday, she didn't really have the gut.

She talked about Starry and Wyatt at the chat group. Kayla was scolding Starry, saying that Izabella was crazy. She argued with her on Facebook for Starry.

Lucia was talking happily when Henry walked in unhappily. "Put your shoes on and go to the Eternal Group with me."

"Dad, now? Why?"

Lucia was pulled up by Henry. Her phone fell on the couch, and before she could pick it up, henry pushed her out.

Henry glared at her "The Eternal Group had informed us that they would not renew our contract after our partnership expired in June."

Lucia couldn't believe it. "Why? haven't we been business patterners since long ago?"

Henry looked at her. "Why? Don't you know why?"

Lucia's face stiffened. "But Filip didn't listen to my apologies at all..."

"Filip doesn't, but Starry will, right?"

Hearing Henry's words, Lucia's eyes widened. "Dad, are you asking me to apologize to Starry?"

"Shouldn't you? The root cause was Starry, haven't you found out yet? The Pearsons treated Starry as Filip's real wife!"

"She obviously isn't!"

"But Frances like her!"

Henry's words were straight to the point. Lucia's face turned pale. She couldn't reconcile. "You asked me to apologize to Starry? This is humiliation!"

Henry naturally knew it, but what otherwise could they do?

"So, you want to see the long friendship between the Scott family and the Pearson family being ruined?"

Lucia naturally didn't want that to happen. So, she could only take the humiliation and apologize to Starry.
