Chapter 335: How Did You Get Injured?
“Hehe…” Julia laughed awkwardly, fiddling with her phone and deliberately waving it in front of Frederick Vanderbilt. “Mr. Vanderbilt, you do your thing. Don’t mind me. I can entertain myself with my phone.”
Frederick Vanderbilt looked at Julia Sanders, slightly bemused. He wasn’t exactly the busy type; he was quite the idler usually. How could he pretend to be busy now? Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
In fact, he didn’t mind Julia’s company. He rather liked her vivacious nature. Girls like Julia, in his eyes, represented youth and sunshine, as if her laughter could make the whole world bloom.
“Julia, let’s chat for a bit.”
Julia had just unlocked her phone but quickly set it aside, turning to Frederick with earnest
attention. “Sure, what shall we talk about?”
Frederick didn’t really have a topic in mind. He just felt bored and thought it would be more awkward to stay silent in the hotel room. After a moment’s thought, he casually asked, “Where would you most like to go for fun now?”
Julia blinked, pondering seriously before breaking into a smile. “We’re on an island, so of course, it‘ s fun to explore the island!” She paused, her expression turning slightly dissatisfied. “But there are so many people here, it feels crowded everywhere. It’d be thrilling to have a deserted island
adventure!”
Frederick’s eyelids twitched at her words, recalling Sean’s suggestion of marooning him and Julia on a deserted island. Just the thought was discomforting to him.
Three days later, Suzanne Jenkins arrived on the island, greeting Claire Donovan before joining the other models for rehearsals organized by the event coordinators. Accompanying Suzanne was Cassie
Palmer, who was only responsible for Suzanne’s makeup during the show.
With Claire and Sean occupied, the room suddenly grew awkward with Cassie lingering close to Frederick Both Claire and Sean found the situation problematic. Their mission was to encourage a spark between Julia and Frederick, but Cassie’s presence complicated things.

‣ Up to 30% c!! “Mr. Vanderbilt, I didn’t expect to see you here. I’m so happy,” Cassie said, her pretty eyes fixed unblinkingly on Frederick. Her body language made Julia inwardly roll her eyes.
Frederick remained impassive, treating Cassie merely as a younger acquaintance. His slight smile, however, seemed quite infuriating to Sean. If Frederick wasn’t interested in the girl, he shouldn’t lead her on with smiles!
Claire frowned. While she got along with Cassie, she noticed Frederick’s slightly different demeanor towards Julia. Cassie’s forwardness was likely upsetting for Julia.
Trying to divert Cassie’s attention, Claire asked, “Cassie, how are things back in Huaxia?”
Cassie, not even glancing at Claire, kept her focus on Frederick. “Carter will update you. Ask him.“”
Claire was left speechless. Well, Classic case of ‘presence of the opposite sex, absence of humanity!‘
“Cough, cough…” Claire Donovan coughed loudly, signaling Sean Vanderbilt with a glance. Sean, catching on, nodded in understanding. Without hesitation, Claire stood up, swiftly grabbed Cassie Palmer’s arm, and dragged her away.
“Cassie, I was just about to head to the nearby shopping street to grab some snacks. Come with me.”
Claire insisted.
Cassie pouted, motioning towards Julia, “Why not take Julia with you? I just got here and need to
rest.”
Claire scoffed, “Rest? With your energy? Julia’s injured. Come on, you’re going with me.”
Cassie looked surprised at the mention of Julia’s injury. “Julia’s injured?” she asked, noticing
Julia’s exaggerated expression of pain.
Julia, realizing everyone’s eyes were on her, nodded vigorously and pointed at Frederick, “Yes, I am
injured. Ask Mr. Vanderbilt if you don’t believe me.”
The room’s atmosphere tensed as everyone waited for Frederick’s response. To everyone’s surprise, h
coolly nodded, confirming Julia’s lie, “Yes, Julia’s injured and cannot go out.”
Claire, Sean, and Julia were all stunned. Frederick, known for his honesty, had just lied for them!

Seizing the moment, Claire pulled a still–dazed Cassie towards the door. “See, Julia’s injured. You’re coming with me.”
As they headed out, Cassie glanced back at Frederick, a hint of disappointment in her eyes. At the door, she suddenly stopped and told Sean, “Mr. Sean, Claire and I will go. You stay here.”
Sean looked at Claire, who nodded in agreement. Sean handed over the room key to Claire, who returned
a smile and placed it in Sean’s hand.
Left alone in the room, Frederick and Julia now had the chance to talk, thanks to Claire’s quick
thinking.
