Chapter 631: Chapter 631: No Relation At All
"...As for Mr.Qualls, there’s no relationship between us whatsoever."
The girl finished speaking and subtly smiled. The curve of her lips was as perfect as moonlight on a rose petal. The flower bloomed, carrying both the soft whiteness of the moonlight and the exquisite attractiveness of a rose.
At this moment, no one could argue that she wasn’t suited for Jackie Qualls.
On the contrary, it would seem normal for even an untouched film emperor like Jackie Qualls to express a liking towards such a stunning woman.
"That... Well..."
The reporter stuttered for a while, but couldn’t get out a sentence. More and more onlookers began to gather, each one holding up their phones, their flashlights exceptionally dazzling, illuminating this little corner of the world.
Hannah took the microphone from the reporter’s hand, smiled at the camera and asked, "Do I look pretty?"
The crowd froze, then unanimously replied, "Pretty."
Hannah seemed satisfied, "That’s all that matters. All these affections are elusive. It’s only your beauty that will always belong to you. Come on, don’t gather around here. After being in the sun all day, don’t you want to go home and pamper your face with a mask?"
She turned around and left, walking with elegance. The twinkling lights in the sky only illuminated her.
She came from the starlight and ultimately returned to the starlight.
There was no sense of nostalgia, nor had she ever paused for anyone.
Louis Snyder stood alone in the corner, watching Hannah’s team manager rushing over to clean up the aftermath. It was clear she knew about Hannah’s statement just now.
But what’s done was done. Apart from smiling and dismissing the reporters on the scene, she could do nothing to correct it.
He had been waiting for two days to get a precise response from Hannah, and now he had heard Hannah reject Jackie Qualls in front of the reporters. Still, he couldn’t muster any joy.
Louis Snyder’s gaze remained on Hannah’s graceful retreating figure, watching her get into the car, watching her vehicle disappear at the end of the road.
His heart was filled with a sensation that seemed like vast cotton fluff, unable to settle, unable to keep up with her pace.
The vibration of his phone brought Louis Snyder back to reality. He looked down to see the name displayed on the incoming call screen.
Tiffany Lynch.
A scornful smile appeared on his lips. Louis Snyder pressed down on his baseball cap without any hesitation and hung up immediately.
Some choices, one mistake is enough.

The interview video on the computer ended a long time ago. The topic #Hannah Winter Personally Rejects Jackie Qualls’ Confession# had hit the top trending list.
There were those who condemned her, and those who cheered for her. Ironically, the fans who had earlier claimed Hannah didn’t match their superstar had now changed their tune, accusing Hannah of not recognising good fortune.
Human hearts are so complex. If you’re determined to peek inside, even just a glimpse could overturn all your previous understandings.
It wasn’t until the whole building quieted, and nightfall veiled the entire sky, that George River came back to his senses. He touched his teacup, which had turned icy cold long ago. That chill spread from his fingertips throughout his body.
He closed his eyes, fatigued, and saw before him that graceful silhouette.
She was turning her back to him, drifting further and further away. Yet he heard her soft voice, whispering like a lover at his ear.
She said, "George River, can you not cast me aside?"
He wanted to say yes, no, he wouldn’t ever cast her aside.
But when he reached out to grasp that figure, all he brushed against was a wisp of smoke.
