Chapter 40: Your Wife Is Being Taken Away
"WOW!"
"What the "
"Amazing!"
Wendy gasped, and the entire crowd held their breath as well.
Everyone was in shock.
Dazed, she was in a state of total amazement when she saw the sparkling gold jewelries all over the ground.
She inquisitively checked each of the other boxes, which were all full of little boxes and contained the same objects inside them as well.
They were all gold ornaments.
All of them were extravagant and dashing.
Wendy swallowed hard as she carefully examined the high-priced boxes.
Each big-box contained more than a hundred small boxes, resulting in a total of over a hundred gold ornaments.
Each gold accessory weighed a substantial amount of gold, with an average weight of twenty grams.
Assume there were one hundred small boxes in a big box, and there were a dozen of big boxes...
With the gold price on the market nowadays...
The sum of these boxes of gold ornaments was certainly sky-high.
Imagine, the total cost of everything was easily more than seven million! "This is..."
Wendy swallowed even harder.
"Wen...Wendy, do you have a clue who sent these things?"
Even Daisy, the first-rank celebrity as an actress, was shocked by those presents.
She didn't anticipate the exquisiteness and pricelessness of those boxes.
"I don't know..."
Everyone was astounded and began to discuss.
Each of them had their own speculations about the expensive gifts.
"God, how much are they in total?"
"It's unsurprising that these boxes appear to be so heavy.The inside is full of gold.Just now, Evie stated that they were simply inexpensive beverages...Now she is certainly humiliated!"
"Yes, you are absolutely correct.
No doubt that the admirers who send those boxes must be mega-rich!"
The smile faded from Evie's face.
For no good measure, she clenched her fists and began to sneer.
"Maybe each one of them is a fake," she said.
At this moment, the prop man carefully picked up and examined one of the pieces of jewelry.
Afterwards, he firmly validated and concluded.
"It's absolutely authentic. They're all real gold."
Evie was upset for she was quite literally, slapped in the face. In the crowd, someone suddenly pointed at one of the boxes and said, "Hey! There seems to be a note as well over there."
Wendy glanced at the person who had indicated the note and saw it on the floor under the box.
There were two words inscribed on the paper -- Bride Gold! Wendy had no words to say.
She didn't know how to react with the speculations of her colleagues. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
They are indeed "gold"! For real! She meticulously looked at the two familiar words on the note.
In a while, she twitched the corners of her mouth. She...She seemed to have a theory about who sent these gifts.The style of that jerk was always unpredictable.
She was very used to get surprised.
Surely, this was something he could do! She was fully aware of his capabilities.
"It looks like those are exactly sent by your suitor!"
Daisy couldn't help but smile as she read the note as well.
She was amused at Evie's confusion.
What an irony for a villain like her! It was apparent to everyone in the showbiz that the two companies, Glory Media and Starlight Media, were mortal enemies.
The artists of the two companies had an intense rivalry and competition for everything.
Resources, activities, sponsors and everything else are being contested by them.
No matter how long the artists of these two firms are working together, they would always have a conflict with each other overtly and covertly.
To what degree did the feud extend was it? Ha ha
Even a playboy like Luke wouldn't chase an artist of Starlight Media.
No matter how gorgeous nor attractive she might be.
He would never court her because of their companies’ rivalry.
It was clear that their relationship was in shambles.
Evie was enraged with Daisy and gritted her teeth and irritably retorted, "Only middle-aged women nowadays wear such tacky gold jewelries! Her suitor must be a scrawny, balding egotist with no discernible taste! Being chased by a nouveau riche shouldn't make you feel proud! You should be ashamed instead!"
"Sour grapes! She was definitely bitter!"
"You!"
Carter, who had been silent all the time stopped the commotion.
He frowned and said, "All right, that's enough! What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to prepare for the shoot? Now, all of you must go, change your clothes and fix your make up.! Cut the crap and back to work right away!"
With that, the crowd dispersed.Gossipers had later on vanished.
Carter stopped Wendy and said, "You stay!"
"Director?" she replied with confusion.
The golden light pricked Carter's eyes.He drew Wendy aside and said, "All of these things are valuable.How can you include them in the shooting site in this manner? The crew consists of a large number of people.You will suffer a significant loss if you lose one or two of them.I'm going to give you a half-day off.You must prioritize bringing these items home first."
"Thank you, sir!"
"Go ahead!"
In much the same way as the schoolteachers did, the director favored those with the greater grade.
After being in the group for so many days, Wendy never delayed the shooting progress.
It actually took much less time for her to film than anticipated, but she usually completed every scene beautifully.
Thus, Carter tolerated Wendy very leniently.
There was a bunch of people outside.After watching the farce quietly, Eris's eyes gradually darkened.
Wendy borrowed the tape from the stage crew, sealed all the paper boxes, and called in a taxi.
Carter also asked someone to help Wendy move all the boxes to the trunk.
He asked Wendy again and again whether he should send someone to escort her home.He was truly concerned of her situation.He knew that it would be tough if she would do it alone.
After all, they were multimillion-dollar-worth boxes.
She could not possibly be careless.
Wendy declined Carter's kindness politely.She appreciated his consideration though.She was a resident of the luxurious Ensfield.
If others were to find out about this, there might be unnecessary rumors about her.
Wendy quickly brought all the boxes home.
She intended to keep them for the time being and to return them to that bastard the next time she saw him.
Luke was about to take the two children to the amusement park when Wendy returned home.
Upon seeing Wendy return with a large box and several security guards assisting her in carrying more, he immediately came to a halt and took the box from Wendy.
"Didn't you go to the set? I thought you have a work today? Why did you come back now?"
"I'm coming back to put those things away.Something happened in the set.After settling those down, I'll leave immediately."
Luke gave the security guards instructions to stack the boxes in the living room.
"Thank you," said Wendy sincerely to the security guards.
"You're welcome, Miss.Finch.It's what we should do."
The security guards departed immediately after they transferred all of the boxes to the living room.
Luke's eyes were drawn to the delivery message on the box, and he lifted his brows instantly.
"Wendy, you've just recently joined this circle, and you're already getting gifts from your fans! You're so great!"
Wendy threw him a bitter smile.
If they were gifts from her fans, she wouldn't be that bothered.However, that wasn't the case.
"They're not from my fans."
"Who sent them then?"
Wendy remained silent in response to his question.
She simply instructed Raymond not to touch these items and then rushed away.
The amusement park instantly seemed less appealing! Luke then curiously observed those boxes.
"If they weren't gifts from a fan, it must be from an admirer!"he speculated.
After a while, Luke approached a box and was on the verge of opening it.
Ray immediately took a position in front of him and declared vigorously, "No way!"
"Uh..."
"Mommy said no one touches any of these boxes!"Luke was struck dumb.
Luke pulled Precious to the balcony quietly, "What are you doing, Uncle Luke?"Luke was really intrigued.
He pointed at the boxes in the living room and said, "Honey, listen to me.Open one and see what's inside."
"No! Auntie Wendy has stated that no boxes can be touched.I want to be a nice and obedient kid in order to boost her affection for me."
That again left him speechless.He was forced to use his trump card.
"But those are gifts from an admirer of Wendy's.If she accepts, she will become another person's girlfriend and, in the future, someone else's wife.You will never ever see her again.Do you like that?"
Precious was shocked and shook her head desperately.
"Of course not!"
‘If so, you have to open the package!"
She dashed to the living room and pretended to accidentally walk by the package.
And, by chance, she pounced on it.
Her chubby little body acted like a massive weight, crushing a box instantly.
Raymond was lost for words.Luke was stunned into silence.
Nevertheless, he saw the contents of the box in the manner he desired, and they were all gold ornaments! Aside from those, there were also notes in each box! ! ! OMG! He was right after all! There was really someone chasing after her! Luke rushed to the balcony and dialed Ryan's phone number.
"Ryan!" he exclaimed obnoxiously.
"Bad news! Listen carefully! Your wife is going to be taken away!"
