Chapter 205: Chapter 205 For Your Own Good
But he didn’t know how to explain it to Hannah.
Should he tell her about all the stupid things he had done in the past, how his schemes had made her an innocent target for everyone else?
He dared not speak.
This was his deepest secret. He was afraid that if Hannah found out one day, she would hate him to the bone, right?
Sorrow and pain tinged the man’s dark eyes. His chest felt heavy with pain. He looked at the person in front of him, who was lost and found again, fearing that even if he said something slightly harsh, she would disappear, "All you need to know is, I did it for your own good."
He paused, then continued, "This audition is not suitable for you. If I get a chance, I will help you withdraw from it. Whatever resources you need in the future, I can provide..."
"Mr. Qualls." Before he could finish speaking, Hannah interrupted him, even more annoyed at the person in front of her making decisions on her behalf, "Why are you acting just like George River? What I want to do is my decision. It was my decision to join this show, who are you guys to always make decisions for me under the guise of doing it for my good?"
For your own good, for your own good, always for your own good.
Is this phrase some kind of mysterious invocation?
Everyone repeats it to her.
Or is anyone who says "for your own good" really doing it for your good?
It’s just enforcing their own ideas on others.
Jackie did not pick up on the point of Hannah’s words, but was instead drawn to another name. His heart tightened, "You’re still in contact with George River?"
Hannah looked at him, intent on probing and seriously lied, "Yes, I am still in contact with George River. Not only that, but our relationship is also heating up."
In the original plot, Jackie was a typical loyal supporting male character.
Unlike Louis Snyder, who wanted to drive a wedge between the male and female leads and replace them, his goal was always to protect his beloved Tiffany Lynch. Although he was disgusted by George River’s action of finding a stand-in, he didn’t make any moves.
Instead, worried that Tiffany Lynch would be hurt by the existence of the original protagonist, he took the initiative to strike first, taking his frustrations out on the original protagonist as he coveted the female lead.
He always considered the original protagonist an evil person who broke up other people’s relationships for money and hurt others.
Still, it was his self-righteous justice. And his obsessive venting of resentment.
Hannah thought about it, she had made her point clear, at least Jackie should react.
For instance, to turn around in anger and leave, then start treating her with extra care.
However, upon hearing this, Jackie furrowed his brows, "Hannah, George River is not a good person, you should stop provoking him."
Hannah silently looked at the man in front of her, it took her a while to speak up, "Mr. Qualls, although I agree with what you said, perhaps, if you could say more things that I liked to hear, I might just dislike you a little less."
"You... dislike me?" There was a pause in Jackie’s eyes. Although he knew he owed Hannah a lot, hearing this directly still hurt.
Hannah nodded, without any intention to deny it.
Noticing the man’s state, she guessed this storyline was probably beyond redemption. She bluntly asked, "Do you like me?"
She looked at him, her eyes as clear as ever, but the rosy shade at the end of her eyes seemed to have reddened a few shades more.
Brilliant and lively.
At the sight, Jackie felt a tremble in his heart, it was just a fleeting glance, but it brought a wave of emotions long buried in his heart.
