Chapter 632: Chapter 632: It’s Serious
And those chilling words that uncontrollably slipped out of his mouth, "Stay by my side? Are you even worthy?"
It was his first time looking directly into his own eyes. Nothing filled them but disgust and disdain. Even when a woman was weakly crying at his feet, he showed no mercy.
He never despised his past self as much as he did at this moment.
If only back then...
When he woke up from the nightmare, it was already deep into the night.
George River rubbed his tired brow, attempting to recall the scenes from his dream, but his mind was a blur filled only with sadness and pain.
These feelings clung to his heart, and wouldn’t let go.
Holding his cell phone, staring at the familiar number, yet not finding the courage to dial it.
He always remembered her words, delivered in a soft yet firm tone, "Stop bothering me."
The man chuckled lightly, but his eyes were filled with bitterness.

That night, in response to the trending topic, Jackie Qualls had only one thing to say,
—"I was serious, but I never intended to cause her distress. I’m deeply sorry for not protecting her better."
A brief sentence, but it was loaded with deep feelings.
People were moved by his statement, but it also made a mockery of those so-called ’girlfriend fans.’
One after another, they threatened to stop being his fans, hoping to pressure Jackie to delete his post, but not only did it not work, Jackie also pinned the post to the top of his page.
—Could those ’girlfriend fans’ stop being delusional? To be frank, Jackie being a Best Actor wouldn’t benefit from the popularity of those internet famous guys, do you really think your threats will work?
—As a third party, even though I was annoyed by Jackie’s ’girlfriend fans’ in the past, seeing this now, I can’t help but feel lucky for Hannah Winter.
—Oh my god, what are you waiting for? If a Best Actor were pursuing me, I would accept him right away! What is Hannah thinking?
—Is Hannah putting on airs? Don’t regret it when it’s too late!
—Just because you like him does not mean others should too. Especially the self-obsessed ’girlfriend fans.’ Seeing the ugly side of you when you insult other girls, Jackie would definitely not want you.
—To be honest, for a female idol like Hannah Winter, she’s devoted to her career. If she dislikes it, then she dislikes it.
—Anyway, I’m shipped this couple, hope Jackie could make his move soon to win her over.
—Okay, okay let’s stop here, let them sort their own affairs out.
Overnight, the comments online became more peaceful, even the haters quieted down.
After all, it was clear that Jackie Qualls was expressing his feelings unilaterally and there was no reciprocation from Hannah.
There were no conspiracy theories, no deliberate seduction, and certainly no talk of riding his coattails for fame.
At most, there were a few saying:
—"Hannah Winter is ungrateful. If she can’t appreciate a Best Actor, I wonder who she’d ever like. She’s bound to be alone forever."
Her fans responded:
—"The beauty has money and fans, certainly better than you who sits behind a keyboard with no idea where you’re heading."
Edison Lynch was always at the forefront, fiercely defending her. Even Jack Stewart was always on his phone, never fearing an account switch.
Later, everyone knew that ’Hannah Winter’s manager was aggressive like a "mad dog", not only gathering resources with full force, but also regularly participated in online fan wars.
Even though comments online were mostly positive, Teresa Gordon was still extremely upset by the uproar.
On the way home, she couldn’t help but nag at Hannah.
