Chapter 210 She is an Expert at Coaxing Men
I have to say, netizens are really something - they even dug up Walter's family company and got it boycotted.
Hanging banners and phone harassment were just routine operations. The large supermarkets developed under the Wood family name were directly blocked until they had to shut down.
Before long, Evelyn video-called. Thalia glanced at it. In the video, Aria stood in front of Finn, head lowered, looking fragile and emaciated - 5'3" and 88 pounds, as if she'd blow away in the wind.
In the video, Aria seemed to be begging Finn for something, her humble and cautious manner practically overflowing from the screen. Finn looked like he was scolding her.
"Too far away, can't hear what they're saying."
Thalia closed the video and typed in the chat: "Help me keep an eye on Aria's movements lately."
"ok"
..........
"Ms. Clark, go on in!"
At the hotel suite entrance, Finn swiped the room card to open the door.
Aria stood at the doorway, hesitating for a long time without moving: "Finn, my child......"
Finn was getting annoyed with Aria: "Ms. Clark can barely protect herself, and you still have the energy to worry about the child?"
"The child you gave birth to has the Wood family's bloodline. They definitely won't do anything to him, but you - that's a different story."
"Wesley is searching the whole world for you right now. Do I need to tell you what will happen when he finds you? Ms. Clark, when someone can't even protect themselves, yet still fantasizes about protecting others - don't you think that's ridiculous?"
Aria fell silent. After struggling for a long time, she finally dared to speak, and it was precisely because she was facing Finn that she dared say this: "I ended up in this situation all because of Mr. Brown! If it wasn't for Mr. Brown back then, I wouldn't have come to this point........"
Hearing Aria's outburst, Finn suddenly pushed her inside and shut the door.
He looked down at her: "Ms. Clark is really interesting. Say what you just said again."
Aria trembled all over and didn't dare continue.
The warning on Finn's face was too frightening.
Finn approached Aria step by step: "You actively went after the Wood family's fortune yourself - what does that have to do with anyone else?"
"Ms. Clark better think carefully. The Wood family only dares to touch you and not the child because the child has the Wood family's bloodline. With us....... that might not be the case."
If Aria still couldn't understand this, she'd really be a fool.
"Watch her."
Finn handed the room card to the bodyguard who came with him, who nodded.
After taking two steps, Finn came back: "If she wants to leave on her own, pretend you didn't see anything."
"Understood."
On the weekend, for drama promotion, Thalia was going to participate in a variety show with Gregory - a countryside-themed show lasting one day, starting at 6 AM and going until evening.
This was also Gregory's first variety show.
At 4:30, when the alarm went off, William woke up startled. He glanced at the time with sleepy eyes: "This early, you're already getting up?"
"Got work, can't help it," she said, fighting off drowsiness as she turned on a floor lamp and went to the bathroom to wash up.
William had bad morning temper. After being woken by Thalia's alarming ringtone, his face looked unpleasant and he was suppressing anger: "What kind of work makes you get up at 4 AM?"
"I'm participating in a variety show today, recording starts at 6 AM."
"What variety show? Don't you know reasonable work hours are 9 to 5?"
Thalia was busy getting herself ready and had no time to argue with him.
"Thalia......" Seeing her silence, William's tone grew increasingly irritable.
Thalia poked her head out while applying face wash: "What's wrong?"
"I have morning grumpiness!"
After washing her face, Thalia sat cross-legged on the bed and patted William's arm: "Alright, alright, don't be angry!"
"It's 4 o'clock, I'm the one who has to get up! You can still sleep more, be good! Love you!"
Sweet words don't cost anything. She'd been practicing how to coax men since childhood - otherwise, how could she be Hayden's favorite among all his children?
"The fact that I can get up at 4:30 to participate in a variety show proves your wife is dedicated and not a diva. I work hard so I won't hold you back, right? Mr. Brown, do you know how much I envy you? Do you know how hard it is to find a wife as beautiful, kind-hearted, and dedicated as me?"
William: "You......."
William wanted to argue back, but she cupped William's face and leaned in, copying William's way of making him shut up.
"Be good!"
Coaxing men? She was a professional at it.
Thalia had just finished doing her makeup in the car when they arrived at the destination.
As soon as the livestream started, hundreds of thousands of viewers flooded in.
The variety show director Dane looked at the viewer count and sighed - a best actor is still a best actor.
As soon as Thalia's figure appeared, a fan in the livestream labeled as Thalia's die-hard fan sent dozens of the most expensive gifts, instantly blinding Gregory's fans in the livestream. This....... before they could even start criticizing, the big spender shut them up with money?
Dane was shocked in the background.
This big spender...... was waiting with their phone for Thalia to appear?
That rich?
Hundreds of thousands of dollars just like that?
And it's 6 AM - don't big spenders sleep in the morning?
Countryside-themed variety shows are pretty warm and cozy. When she and Gregory arrived, everyone had just gotten up and was preparing to make breakfast.
Thalia walked over in sportswear: "Need any help?"
As soon as Thalia said this, haters in the livestream immediately started spamming: "Her biological father is supposedly the richest man - can she even cook? What help can she be? Go to the kitchen as a mascot?"
"Help blow up the kitchen?"
"LOL"
As soon as the negative comments appeared, gifts were sent in the livestream again, and those negative comments couldn't even be seen in the comment section.
Twenty-some thousand people just watched this die-hard Thalia fan use their power to teach them to shut up.
In the livestream, a regular cast member asked Thalia to help knead dough to make pizza. Thalia took the tools and got to work skillfully, even directing Gregory to get eggs.
They stood in front of an antique-style window with morning light streaming in. The director deliberately found a rather ambiguous angle to film them - Thalia in a white t-shirt, Gregory in a black t-shirt, the man fit and spirited, the woman charming and radiant. Looking at the whole scene, they were totally a perfect couple.
A regular cast member walked in and couldn't help but exclaim: "Aaron really knows how to cast. I think when you two stand together......."
Some things couldn't be said in the livestream, so they just gave a thumbs up.
Thalia glanced at the regular cast member and smiled: "You can't say that."
"He's a best actor, what am I?"
"You're......."
"Who reported my livestream? Why did the livestream go black?"
