Chapter 36 How Can I Repay Him?
By the time she reached the tenth fresh market, Lottie finally bought the fruit that Elijah wanted.
She took out her phone while getting into a taxi to go home. It was Connie's phone call just about when she wanted to call Elijah. "Lottie, it is wonderful!"
"I just finished watching the battle of the popular search list! Isobel was defeated so completely!"
Connie, on the phone, was overwhelmed with emotion, "Mr. Chapman is so cool!"
Lottie was confused by her words, "What is that?"
"Don't you know that?"
Connie's shocked voice was out of tune, "You're also one of the main characters. Don't you actually know about this battle that has just happened?"
Lottie was stunned, "I have just walked through ten supermarkets to buy my son the star fruit...."
Connie went speechless.
"Which is more important? Your son's star fruit or your career?"
She roared on the phone, "Isobel almost stepped on you to push herself up to the top in the hot search list!"
"Luckily Mr. Chapman has helped you. Otherwise, you would have been defeated by Isobel now!"
Lottie's ears hurt a little from the yelling.
She held the phone a little further away from her ear, "What is going on?"
"Go and see it yourself!"
"I heard that Isobel has spent a million and three hundred thousand to be at the top of the hot search list."
"In the end, she really made herself to the top of the hot search list but all are negative news."
Lottie frowned and immediately read the news on her phone.
The top in the hot search list was an article posted by the account Stars Surrounding the Moon.
She clicked open the video and it was actually a recording of her phone call with Isobel today!
Lottie silently pursed her lips. She had a copy of this recording in her computer at home, which she originally intended to use for confrontation with Isobel later.
But now it seemed that this recording had actually been processed and uploaded on the internet.
Lottie didn't even need to guess who it was. She knew that this "Stars Surrounding the Moon" was definitely the account of the two little villains, Elijah and Fabian.
She then asked the driver to drive back to the fresh market again. She had to buy some ingredients to treat them well this evening.
By the time she passed the fish stall, she inexplicably thought of Ralph.
She seemed to owe him a meal before.
As she waited for the owner to clean the fish, she took out her phone and continued to watch the news on the internet.
The comments on the internet had been reversed.
She was originally denounced by the crowd, but now she was now being pitied by everyone.
Some people even exposed a lot of images of her work when she used to be a body double, "This young lady is maned Lottie Green. She is beautiful and dedicated, and is even not an actress!" Everyone was praising Lottie on the internet and some even said that they expected Lottie to become a real actress.
A real actress?
Lottie smiled faintly. Then she took the fish handed over by the stall owner and left the fresh market in stride.
She was no longer a silly girl who always dreamed about being a famous star.
And it was good to be a body double.
"Lottie!"
Back at the villa, by the time Lottie had just opened the door, Fabian rushed towards her.
He stretched out his little arms to hug Lottie's legs with his big watery eyes looking at her, "I heard that your wound was torn open, so I am so worried about you!"
Lottie smiled and squatted down while gently rubbing his head, "It's already fine, so don't worry."
Fabian nodded his head with his black eyes staring at the shrimp in Lottie's hand, "I have been worried about Lottie the whole afternoon and Lottie needs to comfort my broken heart!" Sensing his gaze, Lottie smiled helplessly, "Boiled shrimps?"
"No!"
Fabian's little face puffed up, "I want to eat fried shrimps!"
Lottie once again rubbed his little face, "Alright, I'll make it for you!"
Finishing her words, Lottie went into the kitchen with a bag of ingredients and started to work.
Fabian, who is ready to eat the fried shrimps first, moved a small bench there and sat down at the kitchen door.
Upstairs, Elijah had already edited all the information related to Lottie's previous work as a body double into a video and posted it online while the discussion was so high.
Natalia was the first who reposted the video, "She is much greater than the actress who even only relies on her boyfriend in this circle."
They had another heated discussion.
Sounds of criticism against Isobel reached their peak on the internet.
Isobel's agency was blasted by netizens and had to shut down their comments.
Netizens who had nowhere to vent their frustration began to hurl insults under Luke's account.
Just a second before Elijah turned off her computer and was about to go downstairs to eat the shrimps, a piece of big news finally exploded, 'Luke broke up with Isobel and they will have no more relationship in the future.'
Downstairs, Lottie had just brought the meal to the table when Connie called her.
"Lottie, it is true that those villains have their retribution!"
"How pitiful to both Isobel and Luke! They have just been in love for such a short time and now they have been forced to break up!"
Lottie clicked on the news and took a look.
It was an announcement from Luke's studio.
The general meaning was that Isobel had planned everything herself and that she was a bad character and being so disgraceful.
Luke was also deceived, and after the news, he was so distressed that he had no choice but had to break up with Isobel. Yet, he was willing to apologize to Lottie.
The crisis public relations department did a good job this time by putting all the blame on Isobel and completely taking Luke off the hook.
Looking at the news, Lottie sneered, "Isobel deserves it!"
"Isobel wants to step on you to get to the top but she doesn't expect to get herself ruined!"
Connie sighed on the phone, "What a great power of Mr. Chapman!"
"He is so handsome, rich, yet, he loves you so much!"
"Claudia would definitely be furious if she knew Mr. Chapman, whom she dislikes and doesn't want to marry, is actually like this!"
"Well, how are you going to repay his kindness since he has done so much for you?"
Lottie glanced at the dishes on the table, "I ... have cooked him a fish."
Connie went speechless.
"Lottie, are you joking with me?"
"Luke has already spent nearly two million just to fight with Mr. Chapman! Mr. Chapman must have spent only more than Luke has spent to defeat him!"
"He has spent so much money for you and you just cook him.... a fish?"
Lottie trembled while holding the phone, "Did he... spend so much money?"
Lottie didn't watch the battle of the hot search list which Connie told, so she didn't think that Ralph would do so much for her either!
"Of course! Do you think he can be powerful enough to control the internet without spending money? Can data be changed just naturally? It's all made out of money!" Lottie bit her lips, "Then..."
It was true that it was too mean to repay him with just a fish.
But she didn't have that much money...
"Think about it!"
Connie released a deep breath and she even wanted to rush over across the phone and knocked Lottie's head, "Has Mr. Chapman ever made any demands to you after the marriage?"
"He doesn't lack money. What he needs is your heart!"
Lottie walked upstairs slowly while thinking as she went.
Finally, she frowned, "He told me to take good care of Elijah and Fabian."
"Any more?"
"And..."
"He agreed with Elijah to make me conceive his child within a year."
Connie went speechless.
"Then why don't you go and get yourself ready? Show your sincerity and attitude and start working on it tonight!"
