Chapter 36

Eliza finally got the starfruits Braint wanted when she got to the tenth market On the taxi ride back home, she was just about to give Braint a call when she received a call from Graciana instead. “Eliza, that was amazing!” “I just finished watching the battle of the trending list Madeleine lost so badly!” Graciana sighed with mixed feelings. “Mr. Valentine is just too cool!” Eliza had no idea what Graciana was going on about, “What’s that? Battle of the trending list?” “You don’t know what happened?”

Graciana was so shocked that her voice raised an octave. “As one of the protagonists, you had no idea about the intense battle that took place just now?” Confusion was evident on Eliza’s face. “I’ve just gone to ten markets to buy starfruits for my son…” Graciana was at a loss for words. Are your son’s starfruits more important than your career?” She roared on the other end of the line. “Madeleine almost used you as a stepping stone to get to the top of the trending list!” “Fortunately for you, Mr. Valentine helped you out! Otherwise. you would have become Madeleine’s stepping stone!”

Eliza’s ear hurt from Graciana’s shouting. She held the phone a distance away from her ear. “What exactly happened?” “Go see for yourself!” “I heard that Madeleine spent 1.3 million dollars just to put herself at the top of the trending list.” “Well, she did end up achieving what she started out for, that is, she did come out top of the trending list and had sitewide publicity, but not exactly for the news she had hoped for.” Eliza frowned and quickly logged onto her online account. The first trending post was an article by an account that named “Moon Among the Stars”. She played the video attached with the article and found that it contained the voice recording of her phone call with Madeleine today. She pursed her lips. She had saved a copy of the recording on her computer. Her initial plan was to use it when confronting Madeleine in the future. But now this recording has been published online with her voice masked over? Eliza had no doubt that “Moon Among the Stars” was a stunt by her two naughty sons, Braint

and Demarion. Thus, she had the driver make a U-turn and go back to the market again. She was going to reward them with a good meal tonight. When she walked past the fishmonger, she inexplicably thought of Beau.

meal. While waiting for the fishmonger to clean the fish, she took her phone out and continued to read the articles online. There had been a complete reversal of the comments online. While the online community had once denounced her, they now showered her with sympathy. Someone had even made a compilation of her videos when she used to work as a stunt double. “This young lady is Eliza Lawson. She is beautiful, dedicated, and most importantly, she isn’t scheming!” Everyone sang praises of Eliza in the comments of that post. Some even said that they hoped to see Eliza becoming an actress. An actress? Eliza smiled faintly and reached over to receive the fish handed to her by the fishmonger. She then strode out of the market. Ever since she decided to be a surrogate mother five years ago, she had given up on all hopes of becoming an actress. She was contented with just being a stunt double. “Mommy!” Back at the villa, Eliza had just opened the door when Demarion rushed out. He stretched his arms out and hugged Eliza, reaching only her thighs. He looked at her with a pair of big, shining eyes. “I heard that your wound had been torn open. I was worried!” Eliza smiled. She crouched down and ruffled his hair gently. “I’m fine now. Don’t worry.” Demarion
