The Big Shot's Movie Star Wife Is Beautiful and Sassy - Chapter 510: 453: You Are Just a Substitute

Chapter 510: Chapter 453: You Are Just a Substitute
In a courtyard on the M Continent.

Edward Kirsten sat by an outdoor tea table, just finished watching Chloe Davis dance under a peach tree.

This season, the peach blossoms have already bloomed and the peaches are ripe.

It may not be as beautiful as when the tree was full of blossoms.

But Edward Kirsten loved watching Chloe Davis dance under the peach tree.

He even bought this courtyard because of that tree.

Chloe Davis had been here for over three months. Edward Kirsten would stay here every time he came to the M Continent, and she would wait for him there.

She finished dancing and came over.

Edward handed her a handkerchief, “Are you tired?”

Chloe shook her head, took the handkerchief, and smiled, “Not tired.”

“Have you not been home lately?” Edward asked.

“Yes,” Chloe replied, “There’s nothing going on at the Dance Association. And I didn’t know when you would come, so I simply didn’t leave.”

Edward glanced at her and, seeing her blush, smiled gently, “Don’t worry. I only come when you are here.”

Chloe lowered her head and smiled, pressing her lips together.

“Mr. Kirsten,” Alice Eugene stood beside Edward and handed him a tablet, “There’s news.”

Edward took the tablet and saw the message from the Pharmaceutical Formulation Institute.

He suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Alice looked at Chloe who was standing beside her.

Chloe met her gaze, knowing that they had something to discuss, and said, “You guys talk, I’ll go wash my hands.”

Edward didn’t say anything or look up as he read the message on the tablet.

Chloe didn’t get a response from him, so she left on her own.

After she left, Alice said, “It’s Enigma.”

“Did we make sure not to hurt her last time in Continent A?” Edward asked.

“No,” Alice replied, “Only three people came back after the interception in Continent A. According to their reports, no researchers were injured.”

Edward felt a little relieved and, looking at the message from the Institute, said, “Enigma is trying to bait me out.”

“So, we…” Alice started.

“Of course, we’ll oblige her wishes.” Edward looked at her ID photo on the tablet, his tone indulgent, “We must satisfy all our little Enigma’s needs.”

Alice kept her gaze lowered and didn’t say anything.

Edward looked at the picture a bit longer and said, “Tell the people at the M Continent Laboratory. I don’t care what they do, but they can’t touch Enigma.”

“Yes.”

…

In the evening, Edward stayed there.

Before going to bed, he played chess with Chloe for a while and then went back to his room to sleep.

Chloe went back to her room after Edward, after a while.

She could feel that Edward was in a good mood today.

Thus, her mood was also very good.

After happily finishing her washing and rinsing, she lay in bed counting the days they had known each other, recalling their meetings, and wondering if she could confess her feelings.

She really liked Edward Kirsten.

He was gentle, chivalrous, considerate, knowledgeable, and occasionally quite humorous.

She felt that Edward Kristen had feelings for her, and today she said something that could express her feelings, Edward Kirsten did not resist, so she wanted to move forward.

Just as she was lying in bed thinking, the room door was suddenly knocked twice.

Stella Edwards immediately sat up.

Thinking it was Edward Kirsten, she quickly got out of bed and tidied herself up, then went to open the door.

But when the door was opened, Alice Eugene, dressed all in black, was standing outside.

Stella Edwards was startled by her.

She was very afraid of Alice Eugene. She had never seen Alice Eugene smile, and Alice Eugene was always surrounded by murderous aura. Especially those eyes that, except when looking at Edward Kirsten, were always filled with contempt and killing intent when looking at anyone else.

Stella Edwards’ smile at the bottom of her eyes froze, and after a pause, she politely smiled again and said, “Miss Eugene, what can I do for you?”

Alice Eugene glanced at her, said nothing, and forcefully barged into her room.

Seeing Alice Eugene entering her room, Stella Edwards didn’t dare to say much, so she closed the door, and followed in: “Please have a seat, Miss Eugene.”

Edward Kirsten always had Alice Eugene around, so no matter what, Stella Edwards always had a good attitude towards her.

“You like Daisy Zane a lot?” Alice Eugene asked without sitting down, suddenly looking at Stella Edwards.

Stella Edwards was puzzled for a moment but still answered her question, “Yes.”

“Henry Kirsten likes her very much too. Do you know why?” Alice Eugene said.

Stella Edwards looked at her.

“You don’t think Henry Kirsten watching her TV series, and learning about her-related news is because you like her and want to find a common topic with you, do you?” Alice Eugene sneered.

Stella Edwards knitted her brows but remained silent. She did indeed think so.

Although she didn’t know what Edward Kristens’ profession was, she knew they were in different fields.

They had almost no common topic except for dance.

Later, besides dance, Edward Kirsten occasionally mentioned Daisy Zane to her. But he didn’t make her feel uncomfortable.

So she’d always thought Edward Kirsten was learning about her preferences and looking for their common topics.

Seeing her like this, Alice Eugene snorted and said, “Daisy Zane was called Enigma Starry eleven years ago, and the name was given by Henry Kirsten. They lived together for four years, and Henry Kirsten spoiled her like a treasure.”

Stella Edwards looked at Alice Eugene, her expression suddenly becoming somewhat flustered. She then asked, “Why are you telling me these things?”

Alice Eugene opened her cell phone and played a video for her to watch.

It was a video of Enigma Starry dancing under the peach blossom tree.

Not only was there a dance performed by Enigma Starry, but also conversations between Edward Kirsten and Enigma Starry.

Enigma Starry called him Brother Yabez.

And Edward Kirsten’s tone was something Stella Edwards had never heard before; it was full of affection.

After the video was played, Alice Eugene put away her phone and said, “As a professional dancer, it’s not hard to see that your dance is very similar to hers, right?”

Stella Edwards suddenly staggered backward.

Alice Eugene continued, “And not just similar. The few places Henry Kirsten later taught you to change were all based on Enigma Starry’s habits.”

Stella Edwards looked up at Alice Eugene and suddenly growled, “What are you trying to say!”

“You very well know what I’m trying to say,” Alice Eugene said. “Henry Kirsten doesn’t like you at all. He only likes Enigma Starry, Daisy Zane. And you… are just a substitute.”

Stella Edwards looked at the person in front of her, feeling a pain like an explosion in her heart, which made it difficult for her to breathe. Her head also seemed to explode with something she hadn’t noticed before, and many details she hadn’t noticed before poured into her mind.

The more she didn’t want to think about these things, the more they surfaced in her head: “You’re talking nonsense, I don’t believe it. I don’t believe it.”

“You already believe it,” Alice Eugene said. “The reason Henry Kirsten went to see you was that he saw your dance on the Internet, so he took initiative to get to know you. Do you know why he likes to watch you dance under that peach tree? Because Enigma used to love dancing under the peach blossom tree.”

Stella Edwards shook her head and backed away, retreating to the table by the wall. She shook her head, not wanting to believe or listen.

“Do you think Henry Kirsten was happily watching you every time? He was just looking through you, at someone else,” Alice Eugene said.
