A Film Queen

Chapter 389

Watching from the side, Matthew saw Stephanie being accused like that and immediately stepped in to defend her. “Hey, hey, hey… Stephanie meant well. Do you have to be so aggressive? Besides, weren’t you all students from Crestwood High before?”

William scoffed coldly and retorted directly, ‘Crestwood High has so many people. Do you expect me to know every single one?”

“You…”

William looked serious, making Matthew momentarily unsure whether he was lying or not.

While there was some old connection between the older generations of the Burnetts and the Tates, it was just that -old. The recent interactions between George and the Burnetts had clearly become rare, especially since William rarely attended any gatherings. His words seemed to have a point.

William was still infuriated by Charlie a moment ago, but after venting his anger, he felt a lot better. “Anything else? If not, I have to go find my king crab. Don’t stand in my way.”‘

Then he turned to leave.

As he passed by Matthew, Matthew instinctively tried to reach out and stop him. However, feeling extremely unwell all over, he lost consciousness as soon as his hand stretched out, and he ended up falling right onto William.

The crowd exclaimed.

“Ah! What’s going on?!”

“Matthew, are you okay? Don’t scare me!”

“Arghhh!”

William also yelled in shock, “D*mn, there are cameras here. Don’t try to set me up!”
