Chapter 1449:
The icy distance on her face made Marcel sigh heavily. He tried to explain again. “Anika, please listen to me. There is nothing between Elva and me. You’re the only woman I love p>
“You say there’s nothing between you two?” The images from those photos flashed through Anika’s mind, filling her with bitterness. Her voice rose without her meaning it to. “Are you going to tell me those photos are fake p>
Marcel didn’t know how to answer.
The photos were real. He had been drunk that night, and he had no idea what he had done with Elva. The scenes looked undeniably intimate.
No matter how hard he tried, Marcel simply couldn’t remember what happened that night.
Meanwhile, Elva felt immensely pleased with herself as she watched the entertainment gossip about her and Marcel blow up.
Article after article popped up.
“The rising star Elva and movie king Marcel: once released, it’s sure to be a box office smash p>
“Elva and Marcel are not just a couple on-screen, but also in real life p>
“Marcel will soon break up with Anika. Elva is the most suitable to be called ‘Mrs. Brooks p>
Reading the headlines, Elva smiled. It didn’t matter that Anika was pregnant—Marcel still seemed within reach.
Elva was certain Anika wouldn’t be able to endure those articles. In Elva’s mind, it was only a matter of time before Marcel left Anika and chose her instead.
As far as she was concerned, she was the only one worthy of being Mrs. Brooks.
Elva was at the company now, but she couldn’t find Marcel anywhere. Soon, she spotted Marcel’s assistant and demanded, “Where is Marcel p>
“Miss Valdez, I don’t know either…” the assistant replied uneasily.
The assistant’s attitude irritated Elva, and she finally snapped, “If you don’t tell me, I’ll make sure he fires you p>
The assistant panicked. When Marcel had left earlier, he’d specifically instructed him not to tell anyone where he was going. So he could only say, “Mr. Brooks took the day off. He… he went back p>
“He went back?” Elva frowned in confusion. “Where did Marcel go p>
After a brief hesitation, the assistant answered, “I heard he went to Newfort. I don’t know anything more p>
“What? Newfort?” At the mention of Newfort, something suddenly clicked in Elva’s mind. “Are you sure p>
“Yes,” the assistant said firmly.
The Mendoza family villa was in Newfort.
Elva stared, stunned. She hadn’t expected Marcel to take leave and go see Anika. He was even setting work aside for her.
Was Anika really that important to Marcel?
And he went to find her at a moment like this.
