Chapter 280: 0280 Why does the Wood Family deserve this?_1

The speech concluded, which marked the end of Laursen’s seminar.

Next, there was a brief period for networking.

There was also a large dinner party in the evening.

However, Ellen Young had already told the organizers that she couldn’t attend the dinner, and they understood.

She needed to explain things to Bruno and the rest.

Bruno actually liked the hustle and bustle, but when Ellen told him she was going to celebrate her sister’s birthday, Bruno wanted to join, and Ellen refused.

She feared Lucy Wood might faint from shock.

Moreover, Bruno was just joking; he was someone people were nervous about. His country had sent a personal team of bodyguards to follow him, and every itinerary was reported; they couldn’t let him leave on a whim.

Although Bruno was somewhat unhappy about these people’s tight security.

Knowing they were afraid of him getting into trouble, but who likes being watched?

He could only watch helplessly as Ellen left.

When Ellen left, Ruffy Smith also departed.

With Ellen gone, he naturally didn’t want to stay any longer.

The gathering was full of old men and women. Everyone had their own interesting topics to talk about, but without Ellen, it just wasn’t fun.

Nina York had to follow her tutor, so she still had to attend the evening dinner. Seeing Ellen leave so quickly, she was a bit puzzled.

She didn’t know what Ellen was off to do.

Very few people knew that today was Lucy Wood’s birthday. Her fans knew and had flooded Twitter with messages right when the clock struck midnight. They hadn’t yet made it a trending topic to celebrate her birthday because the morning’s events overshadowed it.

Now everyone was shocked, and few remembered it was Lucy Wood’s birthday.

But she didn’t mind.

Her scenes for the day weren’t over yet. Although the filming was going smoothly, the supporting roles encountered some difficulties, causing a delay for Lucy Wood.

Thinking that she could wrap up in about an hour, she didn’t say much.

Felicia Frost was already rushing her, "Your sister’s about to arrive, and you’re not finished yet?"

Lucy Wood looked at her with some difficulty, "The director hasn’t called it a wrap yet—I still have the final scene. Anyway, it’s only another hour; let’s wait and see, it will probably be about time when she arrives."

Felicia Frost thought so too. Ellen Young was impressive now but that didn’t concern Lucy Wood’s business.

Lucy Wood naturally couldn’t act like a diva because of this; there was just another hour to go, so she didn’t bother to ask for a leave.

Compared to Lucy Wood, other staff members seemed somewhat distracted, given the day’s significant events. They all couldn’t wait to stop work and check Twitter at home. Other celebrities wanted to ask Lucy Wood, but though she seemed approachable, she didn’t reveal a word about her sister’s situation, only saying that she wasn’t very clear about it herself and had just found out.

Since they couldn’t get anything out of her, the other celebrities couldn’t say much.

After all, from the moment Ellen’s identity was revealed, they all had to start schmoozing Lucy Wood.

Felicia Frost was browsing Twitter, getting more and more delighted by what she saw. Lucy Wood hadn’t looked at her cellphone, but she was itching to know more—she had checked at noon and it had already caused a huge stir; now, she wanted to know what happened next.

She turned to Felicia Frost, "What’s the situation online, are they shocked?"

"It’s more than shock," Felicia Frost said.

Felicia Frost continued, "It’s like shaking up their ancestors for eighteen generations."

Lucy Wood: "..."

Felicia Frost: "Most people can’t believe that Ellen is so young but so awesome. Of course, there are more people like me wondering—why the Wood Family?"

Lucy Wood: "..."
