Chapter 105 Two People Being Together Is Not Surprising
Dominic was already carrying Amber as he reached the entrance of the makeup store.
Seeing how crowded the store was, Cordelia didn't really feel like joining the crowd.
"Dominic, this store is too crowded. Let's go to another one."
"Amber, can I take you to buy toys first?"
Amber nodded obediently and answered Cordelia in a clear, sweet voice, "Okay."
A smile curved at the corner of Cordelia's lips as she ruffled Amber's hair.
Dominic then carried Amber and stepped back from the store.
As they were about to leave, an enthusiastic and excited voice called out to them.
"Dr. Stone?"
Hearing this voice, Cordelia's body stiffened slightly.
She frowned a little and turned to look at Janet.
Janet was already walking toward Cordelia.
Several assistants followed beside her, with their live streaming equipment pointed directly at them.
Dominic immediately covered Amber's face, a flash of displeasure in his eyes.
Seeing this, Janet quickly signaled her assistants not to point the camera at them.
"I'm sorry, Dr. Stone. My assistants don't know any better."
Cordelia hadn't paid any attention to Janet's activities over the years and was surprised to find she had become a live streamer.
"You're working?"
Janet nodded.
"Yes, I've been live streaming for a while now. Haven't you been following me, Dr. Stone?"
Cordelia didn't answer Janet's question directly, just said flatly, "Since you're working, we won't disturb you. Goodbye."
With that, she turned to leave.
Janet reached out and grabbed Cordelia's hand, saying hurriedly.
"Dr. Stone, are you here to buy makeup? This makeup store is having a big promotion today with great deals, and with our relationship, I can get you an additional discount."
Compared to three years ago, Janet was much more enthusiastic in her manner and actions.
Cordelia's gaze remained calm as she glanced down at Janet's hand holding hers. "Thank you, Ms. Martin, but no need."
"You should get more benefits for your live stream fans instead."
With that, she pulled her hand back and left, holding onto Dominic's arm.
While Cordelia and Janet were talking, the live stream continued.
Janet's assistant kept the streaming equipment pointed at Janet.
At the same time, Cordelia also appeared in Janet's live stream.
Cordelia's outstanding appearance quickly caught the attention of Janet's fans.
Some time after Cordelia left, Evelyn had spread the news that Cordelia and Alaric's divorce was because Janet had interfered in their marriage.
Janet was cyberbullied for a while.
It was also during that time that Janet chose to enter the influencer circle.
Using the fame from being Alaric's ex-girlfriend, she quickly gained a certain level of attention.
Over the past three years, Janet had gradually started to eliminate these negative stories.
Some loyal fans already believed the press releases from Janet's studio.
They mistakenly thought that it was Cordelia who had interfered in her and Alaric's relationship, and that Cordelia had used her well-matched family background with Alaric to successfully climb up the social ladder.
In fact, Cordelia was the third party.
When Cordelia appeared in Janet's live stream, many comments started guiding public opinion.
Many of these comments were posted by Janet's studio's private accounts.
[That woman just now, isn't she Alaric's ex-wife? Why are she and Janet so polite to each other?]
[I've always said Janet definitely didn't wreck anyone's marriage. If Janet were really the third party, would the other person be so polite to her?]
[Exactly.]
A flood of discussion comments followed.
Janet had always chosen not to read the comments in her live stream before.
Her live stream had fans who supported her, but also many people who hated her.
For a while, Janet became somewhat depressed from these haters, so she simply stopped reading comments.
But this time, since it involved Cordelia, she couldn't help wanting to check the comments.
After Cordelia and Dominic left, Janet had her assistant bring her phone and opened her live stream.
As soon as she entered the live stream, a comment caught her eye.
[To be fair, this Dr. Stone is much prettier than Janet. Janet's looks are just average, I don't know why you all fawn over her so much.]
As soon as this comment appeared, Janet's fans immediately fired back.
The person persisted and immediately typed out another line.
[I compared Janet's photos from three years ago with her current photos, she's obviously had plastic surgery, and she's still so ugly after the surgery!]
Seeing this comment, Janet took a deep breath.
She knew Cordelia was prettier than her.
She had indeed had some cosmetic work done over the years.
Getting cosmetic work done nowadays was very normal.
Even ordinary people got plastic surgery, let alone an influencer like her.
Janet pressed her lips together, adjusted her emotions, then kicked that person out of her live stream and blocked them.
After doing all this, she handed the phone to her assistant beside her, with a light smile on her face.
"These are all old stories, everyone please don't bring them up. Dr. Stone and I are still friends in private, I hope you won't randomly guide public opinion."
"Besides, Dr. Stone has started a new life now and already has a child. Everyone please don't comment randomly. Next, I'm going to start showing you products. Today's promotion is really big, so get ready everyone!"
After Janet finished saying this with a smile, she walked into the makeup store. She quickly adjusted her state and got into work mode, as if the little incident just now hadn't happened at all.
Dominic knew Janet's appearance had made Cordelia a bit uncomfortable, so he quickened his pace and carried Amber into a children's toy store.
Amber didn't know what had just happened. After entering the toy store, her eyes lit up.
She liked everything, but after looking around, she couldn't decide which one to choose.
Watching Amber's adorably conflicted expression, much of the discomfort in Cordelia's heart disappeared.
Dominic put Amber in a shopping cart, and Cordelia took her around to choose toys.
After browsing for a while, Amber started getting sleepy.
Cordelia held the drowsy Amber and waited on the side while Dominic queued up to pay.
This mall had only opened recently and had member days every week. They happened to come on a member day, so the mall was doing great business.
After Dominic paid, he walked over. The bodyguards behind them were responsible for carrying the items.
All three of them were very attractive, and passersby couldn't help but focus their attention on them.
Dominic was the gentle, refined gentleman type, while Cordelia was the graceful, elegant wealthy young lady type. The two of them together naturally attracted attention.
Add a cute and beautiful child, and many people couldn't help taking out their phones to secretly photograph them and upload the pictures online, paired with wonderful captions that attracted many likes and comments.
Soon, people recognized Cordelia and Dominic's identities.
They noted that Cordelia and Dominic had grown up together as childhood friends, so it wasn't surprising that they would be together.
