The Hero
Chapter 158 Comparing Abomination and Fame
Who knows if it's the natural process of consciousness or increased blood circulation from "exercising" that makes alcohol disappear? Still, Edelgard was no longer drunk when it was all over.
He still felt very dizzy, but his mind had become clear, and he felt embarrassed when he realized that the same thing had happened again to Javier. He felt even more embarrassed when he remembered that he was the one who started it all.
Burying his head in Javier's chest, Edelgard was too embarrassed to raise his head. He was too embarrassed to look at Javier. Despite the embarrassment, the hand stroking her hair made her feel warm and loved. It felt like Javier had given him courage, as he looked up with a flushed face.
“Javier, I'm drunk, so what happened tonight is a-misunderstand.”.
Forcing those words out of his lips, Edelgard lowered his head again, too embarrassed to continue staring into Javier's charming eyes.
“Have it, don't think about it again. We're both adults, aren't we?”
Javier's persuasion eventually made Edelgard feel much more relieved. He then shifted the topic, raising the flag incident.
Edelgard said, “I suspect it was Renee Lewis. We competed for the best actress award once, and she kept thinking that she would win before the results were announced. Everyone thought she would win too, but for some reason, when the best actress award was announced, I was the winner.
“He claimed that the judging was cheating and called me shameless, accusing me of setting this behind everyone's backs. But I didn't do anything.
“However, after that, he was friendly to me on social media. I think he apologized for his attitude that night, but I saw a pattern later on. Every time I get involved in a scandal, he shows support for me on social media.
“Every time, he clapped when I was slandered. That's why I suspected him. I just don't have any proof.”
Renee Lewis. She is a future actress with a beautiful face, a beautiful body, and a decent voice. In short, other than having the most basic acting skills an actor could have, he was desperate.
It was a miracle she was even nominated for the best actress award. The organizers may not be able to forget their conscience and bring themselves to choose her as the best actress and finally fulfill their obligations and choose Edelgard, a worthy actress, for the award.
Considering what Edelgard said, Javier thought that Renee might be behind this.
He has reaped the fruits of Edelgard's infamy, and what feels like a suspicious coincidence is that he continues to do so, reaping the benefits of every Edelgard scandal.
However, none of this can be solved now.
“Let the storm take him again tomorrow. We will turn things around for you when the time is right. ”
Edelgard could understand what Javier meant but had no idea what he was going to do. When he voiced his doubts, the latter waved his hand. “Do not bother. Let's just say you don't know anything and move on with your life as you should. Maintain your usual routine and act as you always do. As for tonight ... Come back with me!
Edelgard felt very uneasy and a little guilty because she had to meet Jade after sleeping with Javier. However, when he tried to resist, he asked, "Then what would we do if you were found drunk on the street and tomorrow's headline was 'Edelgard Weiss was found drunk at night?"
Normally, such news was not a problem, but given the current crisis, Edelgard would make headlines even if he just farted.
Therefore, he was well aware that Javier's words made sense. Despite his guilt, he could only agree to the suggestion.
After getting dressed, he returned to where Javier was with him. The man had called Jade while they were on their way and, fortunately, the latter had agreed to let Edelgard stay with them for a while.
Only then did Edelgard feel relieved. However, she felt even more guilty for seeing her close friend Jade.
When they returned, Jade spent some time entertaining Edelgard before taking her to the guest room. As she returned to her bedroom, she told Javier jealously, “There is only one pillow in the guest room tonight. You took the others there? ”
Javier pounces at Jade directly, trapping his alluring self on the bed. "Of course not. My dear Jade is the best.”.
The following afternoon, the Edelgard flag scandal reached its peak, as the entire internet was angry and denounced him. Even an older woman like Mary Jane, who was unconcerned by the entertainment news, had heard it, which showed just how widespread the scandal was.
As Edelagrd said last night, Renee spoke on his social media again that day. However, he took the side of the netizen this time.
[It's too much. I always thought you were my best friend, but you went behind me and everyone and did something that hurt us and insulted our patriotism. From now on, I'm severing all ties with you. I won't call you again. I feel ashamed of you!]
There was no name mentioned, but everyone knew who Renee meant. As expected, she had managed to reap some brownie points for herself and she even started trending right below the Edelgard trending topic. The keyword above was the scandal of the Edelgard flag, while the one right under him was Renee who would not contact him.
Both of these trending topics are from the same incident, but their vices and fame create a striking contrast.
Edelgard was angry when he saw her, wanted to damage the laptop she was using, and locked herself in the room to cry for some time.
Javier was busy working at the time, already making contacts on the black market to remove the flag scandal. The speed is very fast, even the latest posts will be deleted immediately. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, the scandal of the Edelgard flag had disappeared.
The thing is, live accounts started posting about the constant disappearance of Edelgard for half a year in recent years, interviews people in the Xerxes Village, he said, and news about Xerxes Village starting to build a factory thanks to the interesting and helpful Edelgard. Xerxes Village Chief, Thomas, makes
The clip in the video went viral as well, as he made the internet cry.
