Chapter 22: Thought He Was Making a Scene

The people around them could sense the faint tension between Theo and Danica, but no one dared to
say something.

Celestie retreated with a triumphant smile on her face.She watched them from the sidelines and
admired Theo's defeated expression after Danica rejected him repeatedly.

She was also enjoying Thalia's dumbfounded expression.

Watching her brother fawn over her ex-wife, whom she despised, obviously made Thalia feel uneasy.

"Danica, let's go to the hospital so they can check the burns” Edmund said softly.

Danica was a little embarrassed and replied, "Sir, I intended to come here because I wanted to ask you
a question."

Edmund Frost was a busy award-winning scriptwriter.It would be a missed opportunity if Danica left.

But Edmund reassured her.

"It's okay.You should go to the hospital and we could fix another date" Thalia was astounded when she
saw that Danica and Edmund had a good relationship.

‘Who the hell did Danica think she was? How did she climb up the social ladder and become friends
with Edmund Frost?’ Edmund was not only known for his talents but also for being cold and aloof.

He was a big shot in the world of scriptwriting.

How many people asked Edmund to cultivate newly hired scriptwriters, but he always refused.

Now, Danica had something she needed to confide in Edmund.



Could it be that Danica was now a scriptwriter? Danica had high regard for Edmund.

She had no choice but to compromise and take the initiative to leave because Edmund said so.

Theo slightly narrowed his eyes and followed.

"Theo!" Thalia cried.

She was overwhelmed with emotions.

How could her brother act like this? She thought Theo would support her, but he ended up demanding
her to apologize to Danica and sentence her to confinement.

She balled her fingers into a fist, as irritation surged high inside her.

Edmund cast a glance at Thalia, who kept making a fuss.

He couldn't help but say, "Miss Thalia, I've always known that money can buy everything.Money can
even buy love.It can buy anything material, but there is one thing that it couldn't"

Edmund threw her a sidelong glance and raised the corners of his lips.

"Education," he tossed this word to Thalia and motioned for Celestie to follow him and leave.

Everyone understood what Edmund meant.

Thalia was uncultured.

Her face paled from embarrassment, and she covered her face to escape.

As for her alleged boyfriend, he silently left after witnessing the scene behind the crowd.



He refused to interact with anyone who had been disparaged by Edmund Frost.

In the entertainment industry, wealthy producers were at the top of the pyramid.

But a screenwriter of Edmund's standing was also considered at the top as well.

He had to stay far away from Thalia if he wanted to stay in the industry.

Danica and Theo exited the set.

Theo's car was parked on the side of the road.

Danica did not jump right into the car.

Instead, she halted behind Theo and stated, "Sir Dalton, stop acting righteous as if you don't spoil your
sister.I can go to the hospital myself.Theo's hand stopped mid-air as he was about to open the car,
anda fire raged within him.” He shut the door of the car, gritted his teeth, and asked, "Do you think that
I'm putting on a show of punishing Thalia?"

Danica asked him indifferently, "Isn't that so? If you still protected Thalia after the mess she'd done,
wouldn't it reflect badly for Dalton's family?"

For the sake of the Dalton family's reputation, Theo stood up for her and punished Thalia.

Otherwise, why would he care if he didn't have to? He didn't care whether she lived or died before, so
why should he care about her now? Theo pursed his lips, as he stifled his anger.
