Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 651

Chapter 651 I Just Beat Him Up

Perhaps, Louis’ gaze was so intimidating that Theodore Frost shuddered. Louis looked as if he was a man of his word.

Previously, Theodore had no qualms about going to the police station with Daphne because it would only harm her reputation, which had nothing to do with him. However, if he were to end up at the police station with a brat, he would lose his pride. The spark in their romance would be the icing on the cake, but it would do him no good if word got out about his fight with a young man. Moreover, he had to work on an important upcoming project soon.

After straightening his collar, Theodore spat a mouthful of blood before sneering, “Come against me if you have the guts to. I’ll be waiting for you!” Leaving Louis with those words, he turned around and entered the car beside him.

When the guards heard that the victim didn’t intend to pursue the matter, they let go of Louis. One of the senior guards even advised him, “Hey, brat. Talk it out if a conflict arises. Don’t do anything out of impulse. You look pretty young, though. You must be a student. What if you end up in the police station?”

Louis went silent for a few seconds before replying, “He showed up in front of my girlfriend’s house in the middle of the night, trying to harass her.”

“What?!” The security guards widened their eyes upon hearing his statement.

One of the security guards said, “If I had known, I wouldn’t have stopped you! You should’ve beaten him up!”

“It’s hard to believe a beast was hiding behind that respectable facade!”

“What a jerk!”

“A b*stard!”

“Scumbag!”

“If you see him around next time, please let me know,” Louis uttered while looking at them.

The security guards agreed righteously. “Don’t worry, young man. We work by shifts here, but we can still recall his appearance. We will notify all staff tomorrow to keep an eye on him and prevent him from entering our housing area!”

“Thank you.”

“No worries. This is our job, but should we call the police instead?” C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

“Calling the police will affect my girlfriend’s career. He will probably know when you see him next time,” Louis said.

One of the guards patted his shoulders and sighed. “I get it. We’re all just trying to make ends meet. Your girlfriend must have it hard to meet such a jerk boss. Tell her to get a new job instead. Anyway, you seem like a responsible boyfriend. If I were you, I probably wouldn’t have the courage to do the same thing.”

Another guard chimed in, “No problem, young man. We’ll make sure your girlfriend stays safe.”

Before Louis left, he left them his phone number. Then, he went to the convenience store nearby to get a few packs of cigarettes for the security guards before he left.

Sitting in the car, he looked around at the housing area before his eyes darkened. He couldn’t imagine what might have happened if Daphne hadn’t left her lipstick in the car. At that moment, he gradually

tightened his grip on the steering wheel. After a while, he withdrew his gaze and called Keaton.

After that, he filled Keaton in on what had happened and inquired whether he knew the man in question.

After hearing that, Keaton questioned tentatively, “Could you be talking about Theodore Frost?”

“Who’s that?”

“He is Daphne’s ex-boyfriend. Hence, when she became famous in the first few years after her debut, she attracted many pursuers. Theodore was one of the men who tried the hardest, and none of the women could resist his pursuits.”

After he heard that, Louis pursed his lips. “What happened after that?”

“After Theodore and Daphne got together for a few months, his wife exposed them and accused Daphne of ruining her family. He and his wife were childhood sweethearts and had been married for a long time, but since they lived separately, no one from Highside knew about his marriage. After it was exposed, Daphne immediately broke up with him and held a press conference to apologize publicly. Unfortunately, his wife didn’t buy it. She cooperated with many media outlets to ruin Daphne’s reputation. At that time, nearly the whole Internet was bashing her. Due to that, she went on a hiatus for quite some time. She only managed to make a comeback after swiping major awards for a movie three years ago.”

“So, that man I bumped into today was that same jerk,” Louis muttered.

“Theodore and his wife come from influential families, or they wouldn’t have been able to ruin her reputation. You didn’t do anything to him, did you?”

“Nope. I just beat him up.”

Keaton was stunned by his response and remarked, “It’s not a big deal. I’ll try to find out why he went to look for Daphne and update you.”

“Sure.”

…

On the other hand, Daphne sat beside the couch, wrapped her arms around her knees, and fell into a daze. It took her some time to gather her thoughts. Then, she picked up her phone and checked the time. It had been more than an hour since Louis left. She scrolled for his name on her phone, but her fingers hovered above the screen as she hesitated. Eventually, she quit the contact directory, opened the chatbox, and sent him a message asking if he had reached home. Since he didn’t reply immediately, she placed her phone down and entered the bathroom. Afterward, she turned on her phone after coming out of the shower.

Louis sent a reply to her ten minutes ago that he had arrived home.

In the meantime, Daphne sat on the couch, editing her sentences repeatedly. After typing a long paragraph, she deleted them all. She repeated the same action several times before lying down on the couch.

The post about my relationship with Theodore is still available online, and anti-fans would occasionally attack me with it. Fortunately, Louis has no interest in entertainment news, so he is unaware of this. I can’t keep that secret from him forever, so there’s no point in trying. Despite this, I don’t want him to learn anything about my trashy past. With that thought, she sighed and picked up her phone again as she lay on the couch.

Then, Daphne texted Louis. ‘We have a shoot to do tomorrow. You should get some rest. Goodnight.’ After sending the message, she returned to the bedroom and plopped onto the bed.

…

The following day, in the afternoon, Freya entered Theodore’s office. She smirked after observing him for a while. “What’s that on your face, Mr. Frost? Did you bump into gangsters on your way home last night?”

With a glum expression, he retorted, “It’s none of your business.”

His reaction earned a chuckle from her. “Sorry for crossing the line. Let’s move on to discuss our collaboration.”

After Freya brought up the topic, Theodore uttered, “I heard about the new project in New Coast by Pearson Group. I don’t think it’ll be hard for me to get the collaboration. In other words, I can take it down alone, so I have no reason to work with you.”

Then, she sat across from him, crossed her legs, and lighted a cigarette. “I do not doubt that, but I’ve also heard you’re not an honest businessman, Mr. Frost. Aidan Pearson hates people like you the most. Do you think he’ll let you go once he learns about the nefarious things you do behind the scenes?”

“No businessman is honest. Did you think Aidan Pearson is innocent after securing the president position in Pearson Group within a few years and even ruining the entire Pearson Family?”
