Chapter 26 Dare to piggyback on the hype?

Amelia saw Damien return and held up a salad bowl, asking, "Mr. Kingsley, would you like some fruit?"

Damien changed into his shoes and sat next to her, staring at her without saying a word.

Amelia was confused and tentatively offered him a spoonful of food, to which Damien surprisingly opened his mouth and ate.

Amelia swallowed hard and thought to herself, it turns out Mr. Kingsley likes to be fed.

Damien returned Amelia's phone to her.

"Your friend just called and told you not to go out these days."

Amelia was also aware of online news digging and was afraid of being found by others, so she obediently nodded.

"Yes, I won't go out. I feel really sorry for Jasper for involving him in all this."

Damien slightly wrinkled his brow.

"Do you like Jasper?"

Amelia looked up at Damien and smiled.

"Yes, he acts really well in his TV dramas, and he's so handsome."

Damien's gaze slightly froze for a moment, then he suddenly asked.

"Am I handsome?"

"Huh?"

Amelia was momentarily at a loss for how to respond. Saying Jasper is handsome has almost become Amelia's catchphrase. Whenever they see his photos in the fan group, everyone would say how good-looking he is, so it was just what she blurted out without thinking.

Damien also realized that he didn't think before speaking and smiled at Amelia.

"Don't go online these days, it's chaotic. If you have spare time and don't know how to use it, study a bit more. You can consider taking an exam next year."

Amelia widened her eyes and looked at him, forcefully swallowing the apple in her mouth.

"You... are you serious? I can still take exams?"

Damien nodded.

"Yes, I'll check if there are any learning opportunities in the coming days. The results should be available soon. But it's up to you whether you want to directly go to university."

Amelia couldn't help but marvel at Damien's influence.

However, she still wanted to rely on herself. Her grades were actually very good before, but she had sabotaged herself. When she took exams, she always made mistakes.

Such circumstances led to the final outcome. She still remembers when her family explicitly told her not to continue her studies, so she did not fill out her college application. The teacher called her home to inquire and comfort her, and suggested that she repeat a year of study.

It was also on that day that Amelia could no longer suppress her sadness, as she realized that she wouldn't have any opportunities next year either. Her mother explicitly told her to work and earn money to support her brother's education.

Feeling miserable, she went to the bar with Ashley, where she met Mr. Kingsley. Damien looked at Amelia, his eyes going from shock and joy to sadness, and tears began to fall. Nervously, he watched her, feeling somewhat at a loss.

"You don't want to go, do you? I said you can make your own decision."

Amelia shook her head forcefully.

"Mr. Kingsley, thank you, really, thank you so much. I thought I would never have this opportunity in my life."

Damien thought about what he had seen concerning Amelia's family and the mistreatment she had endured at home. He reached out and gently embraced Amelia.

"With me by your side, no one will bully you anymore."

Amelia looked up at his handsome chin, but felt even sadder in her heart. This embrace was so warm, yet she couldn't rely on it for long. She would eventually have to leave. She felt a bit greedy for Mr. Kingsley's warmth, but he was not someone she could long for.

Thinking about all this made her cry harder, making Damien believe that she was crying because of the mistreatment she had suffered in the past. He could only hold her and console her softly.

She didn't know how long she had cried, but she grew tired and fell asleep deeply in Damien's arms.

Ms. Linda approached quietly and asked, "Young Master, what happened? Why is she crying so hard?"

Damien shook his head at Ms. Linda, bent down to pick up Amelia, and walked towards the bedroom.

Ms. Linda followed behind him and said softly, "Young Master, I think Amelia should get a medical check-up. I feel like she has been sleeping a lot these past few days. Even when she sits on the sofa, she sometimes falls asleep."

"It's not necessary, there's nothing wrong with her health."

Damien naturally knew the situation. Amelia's sleepiness was due to her pregnancy. Fortunately, she didn't experience the usual morning sickness or loss of appetite. Being able to eat and sleep was already good.

Arriving at the bedroom door with Ms. Linda not entering, she stood at the doorway watching as Damien laid Amelia down and even saw her young master secretly kiss Amelia.

Ms. Linda quickly turned and busied herself with other tasks.

When Damien came out, she actually wanted to ask him, "Young Master, what are your plans for Amelia? Are you planning to marry her or just take care of her?"

But if we were to say that Amelia is his kept mistress, the fact that they don't even sleep together doesn't seem like the behavior of lovers.

And if we were to say that their relationship is pure, well, her young master at home certainly hugs and kisses her.

Just as Damien had entered the study, he received a call from Noah.

"Damien, that woman is clinging onto you again, what should we do?"

Damien remained silent, but Noah quickly sent him a few photos. They were edited and misplaced, creating an ambiguous atmosphere.

Damien's face turned cold, and he spoke sternly to Noah.

"Get rid of all of it. Blow up what needs to be blown up and withdraw what needs to be withdrawn. Also, notify the management company to blacklist her."

Noah was taken aback.

"Damien, seriously? You're being so ruthless? You weren't like this before, you always left room for others, especially since she's a girl. If she's pushed into a corner, there could be consequences. Think about it."

"She doesn't even want to leave herself any room, so why should I leave her any? Blacklist her. Did she think it would be so easy to stand in my shade?"

Noah sighed on the other end of the phone.

"It's a pity though, she's actually a very beautiful girl, and her acting skills are good too. She's always had good resources. It's a shame, she wanted more."

Damien didn't continue the conversation. Victoria was just an insignificant person to him. These small stars wanting to gain better resources through him, he had always turned a blind eye to them.

He couldn't be bothered, but this time was different. This woman had repeatedly plotted against him. Did she really think Damien was easy to deal with? Since she couldn't behave, then she shouldn't stay in this circle.

"If you're free, go keep an eye on the public relations company and make sure they quickly change Melonie's image," Damien said in a cold tone.

Noah chuckled.

"Alright, as you wish, my young master. I'll keep an eye on it for you, guaranteeing that when your little sweetheart wakes up, there will be nothing but praises online."

As he said this, he couldn't contain his gossip, and asked in a low voice.

"Damien, are you planning to give her a status?"
