Young Bride in a Lightning Marriage: Never Tired of Mr. Leon’s Love

Chapter 497



However, the middle-aged man knew exactly what Hugh was asking.

"Mr. Lincoln, the lady is already here, just outside the restaurant. I asked her to wait there like you told me to," he said.

"Let her in," Hugh commanded with a hint of anger in his voice. Chelsea had a feeling she knew what was coming next.

The man stepped out, and a few minutes later, he came back with a woman.

Lucy recognized her right away. She was the new actress who had become super popular recently! She played a sweet character in a movie earlier this year and became a big hit overnight.

Chelsea got it in a flash. This woman was the one behind the misunderstanding between her and Hugh.

That new star, who had shot to fame at the start of the year, was always trying to make friends with rich bosses and agents at parties, hoping to land bigger roles. Recently, she had her eyes on Hugh.

However, she never guessed that Hugh's heart was as unyielding as steel, and he did not seem to care about her at all. Even when she tried her best, Hugh just would not glance her way.

She knew Hugh was taken, but that did not bother her. If she could just get a boost from Hugh to get ahead, all her efforts would be worth it. Hence, after some big shots got Hugh drunk that night, she sneakily left a kiss mark on his collar.

She had only meant it as a bit of mischief, hoping Hugh would remember her a little. However, to her surprise, Hugh's driver called her the next day. She was thrilled and hurried to Charleston, only to find that things were not quite as she expected.

Hugh looked at her like he was furious, his expression as cold as ice.

"Tell me, was it you who was with me that night?"

The actress felt a chill, sensing trouble.

Hugh was gripping Chelsea's hand and would not let go. The actress realized Chelsea was Hugh's girlfriend and suddenly felt scared to admit what she had done,

"Mr. Lincoln... I think you're confused. I didn't interact with you that day!"

However, Hugh's driver quickly

challenged her, "Miss, you said on the phone that you knew Mr. Lincoln and that you were with him that night. Why deny it now?"

The actress turned white as a sheet. "But I really don't know Mr. Lincoln!"

She kept denying it, so the driver decided it was time to play his ace.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

"If you're not ready to come clean, I've got a recording right here. It's from our phone call. Take a listen."

The actress was in a panic. She never imagined the driver to secretly record their entire conversation. Caught red-handed, the actress did not know what to do. "Mr. Lincoln, it wasn't on purpose! I just..." Hugh was getting frustrated.

He usually did not sweat the small

stuff, but this woman's

antics along with a lipstick mark that seemed like a joke-had almost made him split up with Chelsea.

Hugh said harshly, "I know why you came to me. You were after a bigger role to shoot you to stardom, right?"
