They all had an astonished and surprised look. It was really unexpected of them hearing what Elmo had just said. Their eyes widened as they stared at Elmo waiting for Elmo to say something.

Richard's heartbeat raised as he darted his eyes to clear his mind. His heart was screaming with joy, however his mind was doing otherwise. He wondered whether or not his joy would be short-lived if Elmo ended up saying what he had said was just a silly joke.

He coughed awkwardly, as he opened his mouth. "You… you really want… want to help me?" He didn't even when he stuttered as he asked that question.

His whole palm was cold and shaking with anxiousness, as he awaited Elmo's response which would determine whether or not he would die of hope shattering.

Even Peter and Stuart seize their breath after hearing the question of Richard. Their minds also have that question, so they turned and concentrated their attention on Elmo as they waited to hear what he had to say.

  • Chapter 181: Regret

    Wasn't she the one planning the downfall of Lily, so how was Lily able to win against her!? God! Why! Camellia, who had weakened on the sofa, had to take a hold of herself. She managed to regain her composure, before saying. "Kaira, sobbing won't do a thing. Remember Elmo?" She asked, out of the blue. Kiara glanced at her. "Elmo? Why are you bringing him up all of a sudden?" "Remember, Mr Henry had said Elmo is now wealthy but we refuse to accept it. What if he's really wealthy, why don't we give it a try and meet him?" Kaira shook her head in disagreement. " I don't believe it and even if he's now wealthy it's pointless! Have you forgotten how I said Elmo treated me at the film launching party? He really won't help me!" She said "Shut up, Kiara." Camellia snapped. "Having a doubtful mind won't help you. Let's believe that Elmo would be wealthy and he would help us!" Camellia yelled in a harsh tone. Kiara's mouth closed. She didn't dare to refute Camellia's words knowing fully

  • Chapter 180: Heavy blow

    "Mom, honestly, there was nothing important between Lily and me. She merely asked for forgiveness and such," Kiara recounted the restroom incident to Camellia."Is that all Lily said? She didn't cause any trouble, did she?" Camellia's tone indicated her uncertainty to what Kiara was saying.In Camellia's perspective, Lily might have threatened her daughter, which explained Kiara's reluctance in explaining what had happened in the restroom."Mom, I'm not lying whatsoever!" Kiara felt wronged, seeing the doubtful look Camellia was giving her."If you're really telling the truth and not hiding anything, then why didn't tell me all this when I was asking you?" She gave her an I-caught- you look."I refused to tell you anything, because I feared you might go meet Lily and create another chaos again." Kiara responded truthfully."oh, so that's it.""Yes." Kiara said. "When Lily apologized to me, I felt it was all a pretense. I'm sure she has something up her sleeve." "You think so." Camell

  • Chapter 179: Warning

    Seeing the expression on Kiara's face, Camellia finally get her mind straight and kept calm. She knew forcing Kiara to speak might result in something else so it was better to just hold her calm and wait for Jiara to cool down. Silence befalls around them. None of the two said a word, only heavy breath echoed next to them.Kiara already knew that Camellia was giving her time to get her mind straight. The feelings and weariness back at the restroom had made her a little suffocated that was why she was like this now and the only way to remove those feelings was to keep calm and get rid of those feelings.After a good two minutes, Kiara who had finally gotten hold of herself spoke."Mom, I'm fine. There's nothing much to worry about." She squeezed those thoughts out of her mouth with the intent of trying to comfort her mom.The thought of telling her Mom everything that had conspired between Lily and her at the restaurant.She was afraid that if she should bring it up, then maybe anot

  • Chapter 178: Doubt

    Lily offered a small smile. "I appreciate that, Kiara. Maybe we can find a way to work together without all the tension. After all, we both have roles to play in the film."As she smiled, her pretty and classy face shone across the restroom. Based on her beauty alone, it will make others see her words as nothing but righteous. Even if they did hear and plead words and some doubt still lingers in their heart, it would immediately be dissolved upon seeing the beauty in front of them.However,Kiara was different. She sneered inwardly, she wasn't that gullible to stupidly believe any pleading words from Lily. She knew that Lily accepted to be the second female lead with the intent of snatching the female lead role from before, so how could she be so stupid and foolish to be easily fooled with this whole facade from Lily.Even if she was the one in place of Lily, she would not simply foil all her plans and foolishly or pitifully find peace with herself. Never!As Lily kept on speaking, Ki

  • Chapter 177: Only on the surface

    Lily's eyes narrowed, she at first thought Camellia was just one of those crazy fans of hers. She had wanted to even force a smile, but upon hearing the word of Camellia, she asked. "Yes, I'm Lily. Who are you and which daughter am I troubling?" She asked, with a curt tone. Camellia could already see that she's a proud and cocky actress. Just who the hell does she think she's to speak to he with such tone. She managed to restrain her anger for later."I'm Camellia, Kiara's mother and I know you know why I'm here." She frowned, as he muttered those words out. Lilky ewned closer to her chair, before she spoke with a mocking smile, "Oh, you must be Camellia, Kiara's dear mother. I've heard so much about you."Camellia's lips curled into a disdainful sneer as she retorted, "And I've heard enough about you, too, Lily. You should be ashamed of yourself for what you've done to my daughter."Kiara had been on the verge of intervening, hoping to de-escalate the situation, but her mother's c

  • Chapter 176: Fierce protective instinct

    Camellia's face remained widened for a while, as she heard the words of Chloe."What are you really saying? Mr Henry is a good friend of my daughter Kiara." The truth was that Camellia had never really told her friends anything much about Mr Henry. She had only randomly told them that Mr Henry was their helper and also a friend to Kiara, but who would have expected that Chloe would see through all their lies.How would she have known all this!?Her mind kept on running differently.For Chloe to be able to confidently tell her all her lies, then it means that the others already knew.No, that's not possible.She silently prayed for it not to be true."You must be wondering how I know? Well, let me be good and reply to you. I got to know.." she paused as she quickly corrected herself. "No, we all got to know from the day we started noticing that this so-called person, you call your daughter friends and helper is always visiting your house." She said,with a sly and mocking smile." So,
