Overflowing Hidden Feelings: This CEO Is Hard to Please!
Chapter 467 - 467 Cant speak up

Chapter 467: Can’t speak up Chapter 467: Can’t speak up Listening to Clara Brown’s words, Mia Garcia felt an overwhelming pressure on her chest and couldn’t help but say angrily, “Mom, can you please stop saying these things? This role is crucial to my future success. If I don’t take it, I might never be able to rise again in this lifetime. If I accept this role, I will become famous, and with that fame, I can earn more money and choose a better man.”

“Since you can think like this, I can be at ease.” Clara wisely stopped talking and added, “Some things happen that are out of my control. Don’t hate me. You’re all I have left now, and I don’t want to lose you.”

“Mom, I understand.” Mia said, “In the future, even if Uncle Lee wants to see me, let’s not go together so that we don’t fall into his trap again.”

For Mia, accepting the idea of sleeping with Ethan Lee was one thing, but she still couldn’t accept the 3-Person model involving her mother that disgusted her.

She couldn’t help but recall a wealthy businessman who once kept a mother and daughter, at the time she despised people like that. Yet now she had become one of them.

Why was Ethan Lee such a perverted person?

However, thinking about him being a generous person made Mia swallow some words back.

Now that it had happened, it was best to get what she wanted from him as much as possible.

Just the temptation of a role made Mia’s attitude change drastically.

Some people are very selfish. As soon as things move in her favor, some promises made earlier become empty.

It wasn’t long before the mother-daughter relationship thawed due to the appearance of the role.

When Victoria finished work, Arnold Johnson had already parked the car in the Underground Car Park, waiting for her to come.

When Victoria appeared, Arnold’s gaze was fixed in her direction.

Once she was seated in the passenger seat, Arnold asked considerately, “What happened today?”

“Why do you ask?”

“You look a bit off-colour and seem a bit listless.” Arnold said carefully.

Victoria was a bit uneasy but calmly replied, “We’re about to launch a newly developed series of jewellery soon, so I might be a little nervous.”

“You’ve been working hard. Fortunately, Aunt Taylor made a soup tonight. Go home and have a good fill.” As Arnold spoke, he drove the car out of the Underground Car Park.

Victoria was still somewhat distracted and couldn’t help but think about Skylar Morgan’s message as she looked at Arnold.

Arnold’s handsome side face was mesmerizing, whether he was serious, aloof, or even murderous, Victoria found him charming.

Did such an attractive man really like just her? Just Victoria?

Or was it because she looked like someone else that he approached her and everything that happened today?

This question had been troubling her for an entire day, and although she repeatedly told herself not to dwell on it, she couldn’t control herself.

Arnold noticed Victoria’s distraction, but it was evident that she didn’t want to discuss it with him.

What exactly was on her mind?

In Metropolis, winter nights were long, and outside at the moment, the snow had stopped, leaving people tightly wrapped in down jackets. The windblown hair of women walking outside showed Victoria just how strong the wind was.

Yet she was so fortunate, sitting inside a car as warm as spring.
