Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute

Chapter 16 You Are Amazing, Starry

The matter had caused a sensation on the Internet. The upper class of Araria City had been discussing

it in private.

When the news reached Frances Wood's ear, Frances was so infuriated that she accidentally cut off

some flowers.

Seeing this, Martha said in a hurry, "Madam, be careful with your hands!"

Hearing her words, Frances turned to look at her, "The youngest daughter of the Scott family is really

cunning. As long as I'm still alive, I won't let her marry into our family!"

Frances Wood was born in a wealthy family, and she had seen a lot of such tricks. Frances had already

seen similar tricks like those of Lucia when she was young.

As soon as Filip learned what had happened on the Internet from Austin, the phone on the table rang.

He thought it was the call from Dillon, so he frowned and didn't want to answer it. It was not until he

saw the caller ID, which showed that it was a call from the Pearson residence, that he no longer knitted

his brows and answered the phone.

Seeing this, Austin left the office wisely.

"Grandma."

Filip answered the phone and took off his delicately framed glasses, revealing a pair of cold eyes.

"Still in the company?"

Frances said calmly as usual, but Filip had already guessed what Frances was going to say, "Yes."

He answered and kicked the chair a little hard to keep the table away from the table. Turing around the

chair, he faced the French window, stood up and walked to it.

At six o'clock in the evening, it was already dark outside.

Frances knew her grandson very well. If she didn't take the initiative to ask, Filip would just keep

playing it cool with her.

Filip didn't agree with Frances. "Grandma, I have divorced her."

If they divorced, they would have nothing to do with each other.

Frances didn't agree with him, "Divorce? Then you won't be friends anymore for the old times' sake?"

"There is no old times' sake."

Hearing Filip's words, Frances was a little angry. "Okay. You intend to end the relationship with her, but

I want to help her for old times' sake. Is that okay?"

Filip didn't want to argue with his grandmother. "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Frances paused for a while, "Lucia is not a simple woman. As long as I stay in the Pearson family, I

won't let her enter the door of the Pearson family. Think it over, Filip."

"Don't worry. The relationship between Lucia and I is not what you think."

Hearing this, Frances finally felt a bit relieved. Her tone also eased a lot. "That's good. It's late. You can

go have dinner."

"Okay."

Filip answered, and he noticed that Frances had already hung up. He sneered, "Well done, Starry."

His face turned gloomy. He picked up his coat and walked out of the office.

When he saw Austin, he frowned and said unhappily, "Ask someone to suppress the news about Starry

on the Internet."

Hearing what Filip said, Austin thought he had misheard it. When he realized what Filip meant, he met

Filip's sharp eyes. He froze for a moment, "Okay, Mr. Pearson."

Around eight o'clock in the evening, all the so-called "breaking news" about Starry on the Internet

disappeared, except the analysis reposted by Edward.

Seeing this, Edward secretly found a familiar media to directly rank the analysis first on the hot search.

At nine o'clock in the evening, there was no relative information about the so-called "cheating" of Starry

on the Internet. Instead, "Good Tricks of Lucia" became the most popular topic.

For a moment, the news that Lucia couldn't wait to marry Filip spread quickly in the circle.

Izabella had been pissed off this afternoon. Now that she saw that Lucia had been attacked, she was

happy for Starry. She even spent some money secretly to pay posters who defended Starry.

Discussions about Lucia finally faded out of people's eyesight a few days later.

It snowed for the first time in Araria City after the New Year's Day.

When Starry came out of the cemetery with an umbrella, her hands were cold. The snow on her black

coat began to melt into her clothes, wet and cold.

But she didn't care. She took the umbrella and got into the car.

The winter night came quickly, but at six o'clock in the evening, it was completely dark.

When her car broke down, it just got off the expressway.

Starry didn't know about cars, so she had to call Izabella.

Izabella was still a little surprised when she received Starry's call. Hearing that her car had broken

down, she left Dillon behind and was about to pick up Starry. "Dillon, enjoy the barbecue yourself. Little

Starry's car has broken down at the Eckcola Road. I'll pick her up!"

Dillon wanted to say that Bros before hoes. But on second thought, Starry was not her boyfriend.

Thinking of this, Dillon felt more distressed. In Izabella's heart, he even couldn't hold a candle to Starry.

Although Dillon felt a little upset, he also thought that Starry was miserable. After all, not long ago,

Starry suffered from cyber violence.

It suddenly occurred to him that Filip had come back from a business trip today and he would definitely

pass by Eckcola Road. Filip's flight took off at four o'clock in the afternoon, and Filip would arrive in the

Araria City at six o'clock. He should have left the airport at this time.

It was so cold outside. Starry must have felt uncomfortable to stand alone on the road.

Thinking for a while, Dillon called Filip.

Inside the black car, Filip was taking a nap.

When his phone vibrated, his brows furrowed. Apparently, he was displeased.

Seeing the caller ID, Filip was even more displeased. "What's up?"

Dillon had better have something actually important to talk to him.

"Filip, you haven't gotten off the airport expressway, have you? Starry's car has broken down at the

Eckcola Road. You can pick up her when you pass by. It's so cold and it's snowing. She's standing…"

Before Dillon could finish his words, Filip hung up the phone. He had already seen Starry through the

car window.

Today was Friday. At this time, the Eckcola Road was not in a good condition. The car stopped at a red

light.

Through the window, he could clearly see Starry standing beside the car on the roadside.

She was in all black, black coat, black sweater, black trousers and black boots, and a black umbrella in

her hand.

The car stopped at the side of the road. She stood in the inner side, holding an umbrella, and looked

down at her cell phone. Under the light, her face was dazzling white.

Austin also saw Starry in front. He hesitated for a while and remembered the top search last week. He

turned to Filip, "Mr. Pearson, it seems to be Ms. Bradley."

"Drive there."

Filip spoke with a frown.

Austin immediately asked the driver to drive over there. The car turned left and drove to the roadside,

more than two meters away from Starry.

Austin opened the door and got out of the car first. Holding an umbrella, he walked to Starry and asked,

"Ms. Bradley, is there anything wrong with your car?"

When Starry saw Austin, she was a little surprised. She nodded slightly, "Yes, maybe it has broken

down."

"Mr. Pearson is in the car. Let me handle it for you. It's so cold outside. Why don't you take Mr.

Pearson's car back first?"

Starry took a look at Austin, "Thank Filip for his kindness. But no, thanks. I have asked my friend to

pick me up."

As soon as Filip got out of the car, he heard Starry's indifferent words. His face immediately turned

cold. "Mr. Robertson."
