Chapter 297
Shirley reached out and rubbed the girl's head. Then, she smiled and said, “Going out with an international child star is so tiring. First, I had to ensure your safety, and now I have to protect you from the reporters.”
The little girl pouted and scoffed, “It's all Susan's fault. What's wrong with holding the Oscars in Anglandur? She just had to use Luther Group's influence to move the Oscars to Hallsbay, huh? Hmph! So what if she has the head of Luther Group as her uncle? Uncivilized and a showoff. She's just a gold digger at best.”
Shirley looked at her niece in amusement and advised, “Arethea, don't belittle yourself. The daughter of the Gourd family is just as great as the daughter of the Luther family. Besides, you'll soon have the head of the Shurmer family as an uncle. Come on. Be confident. You're as great as any princess in the world.”
Arethea Gourd's heart fluttered with joy. “That's true. This year's Best Child Actor Award belongs to me. I will not allow Susan to have it.”
Shirley put her finger at her lips and gestured for her to be quiet. “There's a large group of reporters coming. If you don't want to expose your whereabouts, stop talking.”
The two passed through the hall, and two men in black approached them when they reached the stairs outside.
“Excuse me, are you Ms. Gourd?”
“Yes, I am.”
“Mr. Shurmer sent us to pick you up. He's at the open-air parking lot opposite this place. He thought that you needed to lie low, so he didn't come to greet you in person. Ms. Gourd, this way.”
“Okay.”
The two followed the bodyguards to the parking lot and saw Zeke leaning against the car window from a distance.
He was wearing a white suit, and he looked gentle in it.
Shirley was stuck in a daze staring at him.
Arethea was amused and giggled. “You're swooning again.”
