Chapter 7 Trending

  • After Clara took the children to meet Director Hopkins, she hadn’t even reached home when she saw a few pieces of news articles on the push notifications on her phone.
  • ‘Female lead appointed by Young Master James shows up at the audition for Written in the Stars!’
  • ‘After Cindy Yates’ success, who is the next lucky star James Ludlow has his eyes on?’
  • A number of news stories were sent in the form of notifications from the social media apps, and they all contained similar titles.
  • “What’s going on? James’ new favorite is on the top trending list!” Clara sat on the couch in the living room, her hands shaking in excitement as they held her phone.
  • Camellia was dumbfounded. “You think this is good news?”
  • “Of course! Tell me, how did you get to know him?”
  • Clara sat down beside Camellia and pointed at the photo of James displayed on her photo. “This right here is the famous Young Master James! No, wait, why does he look so familiar?”
  • Before coming back, she had already heard about James Ludlow from Ludlow Corporation. He had invested in a television company for the past few years and brought quite a number of amateurs to stardom, so he naturally had all sorts of resources at his disposal.
  • But at that time, she had only focused on the television company instead of the man named James.
  • Right at that moment, when she saw James’ face, she thought that it was becoming more and more familiar…
  • “I don’t think so!” Camellia snatched Clara’s phone from her hands.
  • “Hey!”
  • Clara was about to take it back when her gaze fell upon Kenneth, who was right opposite them.
  • “My goodness!” She immediately shot up from her seat.
  • Clara’s eyes went as wide as saucers as she brought a hand up to her mouth. Every bit of shock she felt was written in her surprised eyes. Camellia sighed in exasperation as she pressed Clara’s shoulders in an attempt to force the latter back onto the couch.
  • “K-Ken… Ludlow…” Clara was so shaken that she couldn’t even form a sentence.
  • She had accidentally unearthed a huge secret!
  • Ken looked exactly like James!
  • Be it the eyebrows, the eyes, the face shape, or even the aura… It was as if some copy-and-pasting was involved!
  • Also, when she examined Angela, she found that the girl also looked quite a bit like James!
  • “Camellia, what terrifying secret are you hiding from me?” Clara finally came to her senses and questioned Camellia in anger.
  • Camellia hastily covered her mouth. “Clara, please. Let’s just keep this between ourselves.”
  • The two entered a room, and then Camellia began to tell her story.
  • After recounting past events, Camellia heaved a long sigh. “Clara, I hid it from you, not because of the lack of trust, but it’s just not something I’m proud of… Getting tricked by my own father and stepsister then sent to a stranger’s bed… I was so stupid and weak.”
  • Clara was a little upset that Camellia hid something from her, but after listening to Camellia’s past, she quickly dropped the attitude.
  • “Darling, you’re such a fool. You should’ve told me earlier, so I can go find those wretches and exact revenge with you!” Clara let out a long sigh, and her heart ached for Camellia.
  • Camellia, on the other hand, smiled faintly. “It’s in the past now, so it’s all right! It’s no more than a nightmare to me now. Now I’ve woken up from the nightmare, and I’m blessed with a pair of lovely children, so I should be grateful.”
  • “Grateful?” Clara raised an eyebrow, eyeing her up and down in feigned surprise. “Didn’t you come back for revenge?”
  • To Clara’s surprise, Camellia shook her head. “Not exactly. I just wanted to take back what’s mine.”
  • “What about the children? If they really were James’, shouldn’t they know about their family?”
  • Once again, Camellia decisively shook her head. “No! He’s not their father! Even if he were, I wouldn’t let him have my kids!”
  • James and Cindy were in cahoots, so how could she leave her darlings to her enemy?
  • “Are you dumb? If they genuinely were his children, then you’ll be missing out big time! It’s the Ludlows, Camellia! Ludlows!” Argh! Girl!
  • Still, Camellia’s gaze remained steadfast. “I wouldn’t do it even if it’s Bill Gates!”
  • The richer the person was, the more unwilling she was to hand over the children. It was her decision to give birth to the pair of twins, so she absolutely didn’t want anyone else to have them!
  • Seeing Camellia’s determination, Clara could only give in. “All right, then I’ll keep the secret for you! Don’t let the kids see James.”
  • “Thank you, Clara. I’ll be careful.”
  • After leaving Camellia’s room and closing the door, Clara raised her eyebrow.
  • Cammie! I’m really sorry!
  • Although I promised to help you keep the secret, I can’t stop the children from becoming famous eventually! If one day your children really found their father, you won’t blame me, will you?
