A Film Queen

Chapter 398

Upon hearing these words, Charlie’s hands completely stopped moving. His icy gaze locked onto Hannah before

him. “Did you just say that William is into Milly?”

Hannah felt unexpectedly flustered under his gaze, but as a seasoned actress, she regained her composure

quickly.

Tilting her neck with enough arrogance and confidence, she replied, “Yeah, that’s right.”

“William may seem indifferent and non-competitive, but that doesn’t mean he wants nothing. Moreover, his

status is not something a commoner like you can compare with. Or, to put it more plainly, I, Hannah, will

definitely support William. So, you have no right to compete with him.”

She didn’t understand why William hadn’t revealed he was from the Tate family, but if he chose to keep it quiet,

there must be a good reason. She didn’t see the need to stir up trouble by mentioning it herself.

As for Charlie standing before her, he was just an ordinary person. A few harsh words would easily throw him off.

There was no need to bring up the Tates. Hannah's identity alone was enough.

Charlie’s complexion visibly darkened at a rapid pace. He then smiled, the curve of his lips tinged with disdain,

his gaze sharp as a blade, and his tone icy cold. “Oh? Did he personally tell you this?”

Hannah couldn't help but swallow hard, forcing herself to stay calm.

Stay calm! Isn't he just a lowly worker? I'm the esteemed Ms. Lloyd, the youngest film queen of Halturia. If | fear

someone like this person in front of me, how would that look if it got out?

Wouldn't | disgrace my family’s reputation?

But...

She was starting to doubt herself.

Is Charlie really just an ordinary guy? How could someone ordinary have such a commanding presence and aura?

But then she thought again. She knew all the real top-tier wealthy families, and she had never encountered

someone like him or heard of anyone with his last name. So, even if he was impressive, he didn’t compare to the

Lloyds and the Tates.

Because he was not as formidable as the Lloyds and the Tates, she didn’t have to worry.

“Cough, cough, cough.” Thinking of this, Hannah calmed down a bit and continued, “This is naturally William's

own idea. Though love can be a fair competition, one must also have sself-awareness. On one side is the

famous gaming god William, and on the other side is someone like you who has nothing. How do you think Milly

would choose?

“Why bother causing trouble for ourselves when we could leave each other with spleasant memories, don’t

you think?”

Hannah felt she had made her point clear enough. Any man with a bit of dignity and backbone would choose to

walk away after hearing this.

If he had chosen to give up, then she would have done a favour for William.

After the show ends, no. Waiting until then is too late. In the next few days, | can find an opportunity to privately

tell William. He will surely be grateful to me. When | discuss marriage plans with George later on, he will

definitely stand by my side.

So, winning over William is the first step to marrying into the Tate family.

Thinking about this, she could already picture herself happily marrying George. Her lips curled up with

excitement, but then she turned to Charlie.

She said with a serious tone, “Did you hear that? Stay away from Milly from now on. She belongs to William!”

Upon hearing this, Charlie's face lost its cold smirk, exuding an intense and indescribable murderous intent.

“Hmph!”

Crack!

The clamshell he held in his hand was crushed into two halves.

Hannah was taken aback.

Just then, it seemed the people inside the bamboo house had finished giving medicine, as they began to come

out one by one.

Leading the way was William, angrily holding a bowl! in one hand and gripping Milly’s arm with the other. “So

infuriating, so frustrating! Kindness is taken for granted. Should have let him fend for himself! Hmph!”

Milly was almost stumbling along, gently calming him down. “Okay, okay, there's no need to get so worked up.”

William pouted, “I'm so angry! That bitch said something about you both openly and secretly. She thought |

couldn't hear it. Boss, I'm just feeling sorry for you. You're obviously his...

“Never mind, he’s not even good enough for you.”

Milly could naturally see that William was so angry because he felt her situation was unfair, which warmed her

heart.

Despite his outward bravado, she could tell he was actually quite sensitive at times. It was evident he had been

well protected by George. His innocent and optimistic outlook painted the world in a beautiful light.

Even though Stephanie’s petty tricks were trivial to her, William seemed to find them unforgivable.

Such a fine young man shouldn’t be exposed to the world’s filth.

Milly tiptoed and ruffled his hair, treating him like she treated Apollo. She softly coaxed him. “There, there, don’t

be upset. Charlie and | found lots of delicious seafood today-like geoduck, lobster, wild yellow croaker, and king

salmon. Take a look and tellwhat you'd like. I'll cook it for you tonight as a treat. Sound good?”

William was still childlike at heart. Just moments ago, he was so angry he could have throttled Stephanie, but

now his attention is completely diverted by the mention of food. His eyes lit up brightly. “Really? You really find

geoduck? Letsee!”

Excitedly spinning in place like a top, he dashed off towards where Charlie was standing.

“Ahhh, geoduck, geoduck! My favourite geoduck!”

Standing beside Charlie, Hannah saw William running over and immediately switched to a gentle, caring older

sister look. She smiled sweetly at him. “William, are you here to help too?”

Help too?

William caught her words and asked nonchalantly, “Were you helping out here just now?”

Hannah awkwardly tugged at her lips, looking down at the squirming, fishy-smelling seafood on the ground with

disgust wrinkling her brow.

Help out? Not a chance!

Just looking at them made her feel uncomfortable all over, let alone touching them!

But now she couldn't say it directly. After all, William was her future brother-in-law, and she couldn't afford to

create the impression that she couldn't do housework for her future in-laws.
