“I trust you.”
Silvia fell silent before she said, “I went to see Isla just now. When I was about to leave, I bumped into the Cooper Family’s housekeeper.”
Neil set down his spoon and looked at her. “What happened?”
He knew Silvia well. She would not bring something up without a reason.
She lowered her gaze and said, “Can you talk to David and ask him not to bother Isla anymore?”
She knew that David had previously been deceived by an actress who was not very well known. It was said that David had promised not to fall in love with celebrities again.
Isla never had a boyfriend before, so it would be bad for her to fall in love with David.
Neil frowned. “That’s David and Isla’s business. We shouldn’t interfere. Besides, Isla’s an adult. She knows what to do.”
Silvia looked at Neil with displeasure and retorted coldly, “Doesn’t David know better too? He’s the one who started things with Isla. If he genuinely cares for her, he should realize that he shouldn’t pursue her because they have no future together!”
After she finished speaking, a heavy and uncomfortable silence settled over the dining table.
It took a while before Neil finally spoke up.
“What future? Marriage?”
Silvia sneered. “Forget it. I don’t want to argue with you. You wouldn’t understand anyway.”
Neil frowned. He wanted to speak, but Silvia got up and returned to her bedroom.
As soon as she woke up the next morning, she saw news of David admitting that he was the man beside Isla in the photos. He clarified that she was not his sugar baby and confessed that he had pursued her without success.
His clarification set the Internet on fire.
When Snow’s investor boyfriend found out, he pressured the film executives of “A Thousand Years” to sign a contract with Isla and forced Snow to apologize to her.
Snow refused and quarreled with him in the hotel. She made it clear that she would not apologize no matter what.
“A Thousand Years” was already halfway through filming, and she genuinely enjoyed the script. As such, she decided not to give up and agreed to continue filming.
After she sorted things out with the crew, Isla gave David a call. She invited him to dinner, and he readily agreed.
To avoid arousing rumors, Isla invited Silvia and Neil as well.
She chose to meet them at Tipsy Rain, the most expensive restaurant in Ryoln City. The food there cost a minimum of one thousand, and the wines started at a hundred thousand.
When Isla entered the restaurant, she was surprised to only find David there.
“Where are Silvia and Mr. Remus?”
“I asked them to leave first. Don’t worry. I’ve had someone check the place. There won’t be any paparazzi around.”
Given their status, they could not give the paparazzi a chance unless they wanted their private lives exposed.
Isla frowned but still sat opposite him. “There’s no need for them to leave.”
